The draft text calls for a UN-sponsored truce monitor, an end to all fighting and military flights over the city.
Parties who fail to comply with the truce could face "further measures".
Russia immediately questioned the proposal and the grounding of flights, saying it was unlikely to bring peace.
The besieged rebel-held east of Aleppo has come under intense and sustained aerial bombardment by Syrian government and Russian forces since a truce brokered by the Washington and Moscow collapsed last month.
France's permanent representative to the UN, Francois Delattre, said: "We consider that this is our responsibility to do absolutely everything we can do, everything humanly possible to unite the Security Council behind our efforts to end the martyrdom in Aleppo."
But Russia's ambassador Vitaly Churkin said Moscow was "a little bit baffled" by the proposal for a new ceasefire monitoring mechanism when there is already one in Geneva "which has been there for a long time and frankly has not been used very effectively".
"If they were sincere, we can have a resolution, I suppose, which would be more balanced proposal," he added.
UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura said he deeply regretted the US decision to suspend talks with Russia but vowed "to push energetically for a political solution".
His spokeswoman, Jessy Chahine, said he was "still in intensive consultations on the way forward".
Russian and American officials had been due to meet in Geneva on Monday to try to co-ordinate air strikes against jihadist groups on the ground in Syria, but the Americans were told to return home.
Suspending the talks, Washington accused Moscow of having "failed to live up" to its commitments under the recent truce deal.
In response, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the US was "trying to shift responsibility on to someone else".
"Washington simply did not fulfil the key condition of the agreement to improve the humanitarian condition around Aleppo," she said, referring to Moscow's claim that the US was unable to separate mainstream rebel factions on the ground from the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
Hundreds of people, including children, have died since government forces launched an offensive to take full control of Aleppo on 22 September.
On Monday, the main trauma hospital in the rebel-held east was damaged in an air strike for the third time in a week, activists said.
The Syrian American Medical Society, which supports the facility, said the attack meant only five hospitals remained operational to care for as many as 300,000 civilians, including more than 85,000 children. There were only 29 doctors to treat the overwhelming number of wounded, it added. | France and Spain are trying to get UN Security Council agreement for a resolution seeking a truce in the Syrian city of Aleppo, after the US ended its negotiations with Russia. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37552749"} | 600 | 39 | 0.471629 | 1.157068 | 0.508716 | 1.272727 | 16.060606 | 0.787879 |
They were arrested on firearms charges in October 2013 when the ship they were on was found to be full of weapons.
The charges were dropped, but the Indian authorities appealed against the decision and have now won their case.
All 35 sailors and guards on the boat received five-year sentences and were ordered to pay 3,000 rupees (£30).
The British men sentenced are:
The men were arrested on board a ship owned by an American company which offered armed protection services to vessels sailing through an area known as "pirates' alley" between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.
Customs officials and police found 35 guns, including semi-automatic weapons, and almost 6,000 rounds of ammunition on board the ship which did not have permission to be in Indian waters.
A court in Tamil Nadu upheld the claim by the Indian authorities that the vessel was not properly licensed.
The men have consistently denied any wrongdoing and claim they have been abandoned by their American employers.
They also say they have not been paid since November 2013.
Speaking after being convicted, Mr Dunn said: "They have no evidence against us to say we've committed any crime and yet they have found us guilty.
"I have done six months in prison, I've done 27 months in total and now they've sentenced me to do a further five years. This is absolutely disgusting."
Meanwhile John Armstrong said: "I should be surprised but I'm not.
"I'm a bit speechless but I'd seen it coming. We will appeal, but I don't know when because I haven't spoken to the lawyer."
Billy Irving's partner, Yvonne MacHugh, said: "After two long years of fighting to get my partner Billy home I'm devastated with today's verdict.
"For the next five years our son won't have a father at home."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that the men had 90 days to appeal against the decision.
A spokesman said: "Our staff in India and the UK have been in close contact with all six men since their arrest to provide support to them and their families, including attending court.
"Ministers have also raised this case at the highest levels, pressing for delays to be resolved.
"We recognise what a difficult time this is for those involved. There is now a 90 day window to appeal and we will continue to provide consular assistance.
"However, we cannot interfere in another country's judicial process."
Ken Peters, director of Justice and Public Affairs at the Mission to Seafarers, said: "To think that highly trained professionals, properly accredited and doing a job that is protecting the world's interests are then penalised in such a way is unthinkable."
Ian Lavery, Labour MP for Wansbeck, said he would continue to campaign for the return home of constituent Mr Dunn and the other men.
He said: "This verdict will have come as a hammer blow to Nick and the other men coming only a matter of months after a court had quashed all of the charges.
"Sadly this bizarre judgment, charging former British servicemen with the maximum penalty for handling arms, means the nightmare continues.
"I will continue to work with Nick's family to fight for his release and return to the UK and am seeking urgent discussions on the way forward and seeking an early resolution to this miscarriage of justice." | Six former soldiers from the UK who worked on an anti-piracy ship have each been sentenced to five years in prison in India. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35279074"} | 731 | 29 | 0.483874 | 1.271291 | 0.13977 | 1.038462 | 26.115385 | 0.730769 |
Diore Lia was a 1,000-1 shot for the race and Mangan has only ever ridden one winner - Roscommon in 2009.
Prize money was to be donated to Great Ormond Street's children's hospital.
The BHA said it had "a responsibility to place the welfare of our participants, equine and human, first".
A statement added: "While risk can never be removed entirely, it is possible to identify factors that can increase risk, and act on them.
"While Miss Mangan has held her licence for a number of years she remains inexperienced, with only 69 rides and one winner to her name. She has never ridden at Epsom and certainly never ridden in a race on the scale and stage of the Derby, with all the unique challenges it presents.
"We believe that the decision is the correct one in the best interests of all concerned and the sport. Should the BHA have not acted and an incident have occurred, then the disappointment of one rider could have been placed in stark contrast with the potential consequences."
The total purse is set to be £1.625m, the richest race ever staged in Britain, with the winner receiving £920,913 and prize money then paid down to sixth place, which will net £21,922.
Owner Richard Aylward said he would now refuse to run the horse.
He told the Racing Post: "We've had people donate tonight from America to the charity, all on the grounds of the horse being in the race. We're in the Derby to have a go at it, and the BHA has been got to. They've changed their mind."
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
There are two ways of looking at this.
On the one hand, the owner's paid the entry fee, the run is for charity and Mangan is technically qualified for what has the look of a romantic, 'David against Goliath' sporting encounter.
On the other, the most famous flat race in the world is no place for an inexperienced apprentice, and she could blight the race.
The authority has decided, probably correctly, that the risk of a drama is just too high.

Tommy Bowe has been drafted into the Irish camp as they prepare to play Wales in Cardiff on Friday night.

Shares in the social network fell almost 10% in after hours trading after it said expenses would be up to 75% higher next year.
The warning came after it reported third quarter revenues of $3.2bn (£1.98bn) well ahead of analysts' forecasts.
It made $806m profit, up 90% on 2013.
The increased profits were driven by another formidable three months for Facebook's advertising business.
Ad revenues for July to September were sharply higher than a year ago.
Perhaps most telling as an indicator of its future profitability was Facebook's performance in mobile advertising.
Mobile ads now make up 66% of its total advertising revenue.
A year ago they accounted for less than half of it, and at the time of its stock market debut in 2012 Facebook's mobile ads barely brought in any money at all.
Just as important to social networks as their earnings, are their user numbers, which in Facebook's case were also better than many expected.
As of the end of September, Facebook had 1.35 billion active users every month, 14% more than in 2013.
And the number of people checking their Facebook page at least once a day jumped 19% to 864 million.
"This has been a good quarter with strong results," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and chief executive.
However, costs increased by 41% during the quarter mainly due to its recent acquisitions: messaging app WhatsApp and virtual reality headset maker Oculus Rift.
Chief financial officer Dave Wehner said these would increase further over the next year, and forecast revenue growth would slow to between 40% and 47% in the fourth quarter from 59% in the third quarter.
"We believe that we have very substantial growth opportunities in front of us and we plan to invest aggressively to capitalise on those opportunities," Mr Wehner said.
Mr Wehner did not provide any prediction on revenue growth next year.
"Giving expense guidance without giving revenue guidance is frustrating and spooking The Street. The multi-billion dollar question is what's revenue growth going to look like next year," said BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield. | Facebook has warned that its spending will increase sharply next year and its revenue growth will slow in the fourth quarter. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "29811682"} | 443 | 24 | 0.498999 | 1.178981 | 0.535199 | 1.545455 | 19.045455 | 0.818182 |
Many activists saw him as a godfather for their cause, and have paid tribute to a man who was branded a criminal by Chinese authorities for his activism and jailed several times for "subversion".
One source of inspiration was the well-documented love between Liu Xiaobo and his wife, Liu Xia, who has also been placed under house arrest.
This image of them, which was circulated recently by their activist friends, particularly resounded with many.
It has prompted several artworks paying tribute to their love, such as this one by political artist Badiucao, entitled The Patient of China.
The Australia-based artist also put up a version of the work on a wall on Hosier Lane in Melbourne on Wednesday, calling for Mr Liu's release.
Prominent political cartoonist Rebel Pepper drew and tweeted an alternative take on the photo.
Chinese cartoonist Xiaoguai also drew inspiration from the same picture and tweeted this image of two candles symbolising the couple.
In 2010, Mr Liu was not allowed to travel to Sweden to receive his Nobel Peace Prize.
An image of his empty chair has been inspiration for artists - such as in this work by Badiucao.
Rebel Pepper meanwhile drew a tribute to the chair with Liu Xiaobo's striped pyjamas.
In Hong Kong, where activists had been calling for Mr Liu's release, 17-year-old student Anson Hui told AFP news agency earlier this week that he feared what Mr Liu's death would mean.
"I feel scared. If we lose Liu Xiaobo, nobody could replace him... If there's no Liu Xiaobo we can't unite the whole world to speak out.
"The world will lose a spiritual leader." | Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo was an inspiring figure for a new generation of Chinese pro-democracy activists and his death is being remembered by political artists. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40591147"} | 420 | 43 | 0.508327 | 1.299745 | 0.109386 | 0.857143 | 11.785714 | 0.642857 |
A market for people to sell their annuity will be launched in April 2017, meaning pensioners can exchange their set retirement income for a lump sum.
The government estimates that 300,000 people will cash in their products.
Now the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has outlined the dangers that could result from selling up.
Concerns include individuals struggling to calculate what a good value for their annuity might be, vulnerability to scams, and people with debts being put under pressure to sell their annuity to settle the bill.
An estimated five million people in the UK have an annuity - a retirement income bought with pension savings.
As an extension to the pension reforms allowing people to cash in their pension pot before retirement, people who have already bought an income for life with their pension pots will be able to reverse that deal.
Currently, it is possible to sell an annuity, but a tax charge of between 55% and 70% makes it an impractical option for most people.
From April 2017, individuals who receive a lump sum from selling their annuity will only pay tax at their highest marginal income tax rate.
The Treasury is expecting a tax windfall of £960m over the first two years of the scheme, owing to the tax collection of an estimated £3,200 per annuity seller.
The FCA has now warned that "there is a significant risk of poor outcomes" for consumers selling their annuities.
Christopher Woolard, director of strategy and competition at the FCA, said: "We recognise that some consumers may be particularly vulnerable.
"We have set out proposed rules and guidance that will help ensure that consumers have an appropriate degree of protection should they decide to sell their annuity income."
Those proposals include:
Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "This is a complex market to create from scratch; however, we know that many annuity holders will be interested in trading in their income for a lump sum.
"The FCA has come up with a good package of measures to try and protect investors, while also giving them the freedom to manage their own money."
Others are more sceptical.
"There are a number of missing pieces to make this brand new market work efficiently," said Steven Cameron, pensions director at Aegon.
"There is no central point for consumers to offer up their annuity to a range of buyers, with consumers instead being encouraged to approach each buyer separately to get the best deal.
"Each potential buyer may demand their own medical evidence which will be timely and costly."
The Association of British Insurers said there was a number of issues to work through in "limited" time before April 2017. | Significant risks face those who decide to sell a retirement income - such as running out of money in old age, the City watchdog has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36102371"} | 585 | 32 | 0.428026 | 1.125058 | 0.109446 | 1.142857 | 18.892857 | 0.714286 |

The two launches on Thursday came after a similar test on 15 April.
Observers say all the tests appear to have failed, but a UN spokesman said such actions, which violate sanctions, were "deeply troubling".
It comes amid a recent ramp-up in weapons activity as the North prepares for a rare party congress.
There are also indications it is planning to carry out its fifth nuclear test, despite condemnation of its last test in January.
In a rare comment on the situation, Chinese President Xi Jinping said China - North Korea's closest ally - was committed to ensuring stability.
He told a meeting of regional foreign ministers in Beijing on Thursday: "As a close neighbour to the (Korean) peninsula, China will never allow war to erupt on the peninsula. Once such a situation occurs, it will do nobody any good."
South Korean officials said the first mid-range missile launch on Thursday took place in the morning near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan but the missile "crashed a few seconds later" in the coastal area, Yonhap news agency reported.
A second test was detected in the evening, but South Korean officials said that too had failed.
Both tests, like the earlier one, are thought to have been of a mid-range missile which has been given the nickname Musudan by observers.
The missile is thought to have a range of about 3,000km (1,800 miles), meaning it could reach Japan or the US territory of Guam.
Japan's ambassador to the UN, Motohide Yoshikawa, said the missile was "a threat to Japan's national security".
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told a news briefing that such actions by North Korea "are extremely troubling" and said the UN urged Pyongyang to "cease any further provocative actions and return to full compliance of its international obligations".
Strengthened international sanctions were placed on North Korea after it tested what it claimed was a hydrogen bomb and launched a long-range missile.
It also recently claimed to have fired a submarine ballistic missile.
Observers have speculated that Pyongyang is boosting the development of its weapons programs ahead of the Workers Party Congress in May, the first in nearly 40 years.
The North announced this week that the congress would take place on 6 May.
It is aimed at solidifying the power of its leader Kim Jong-un, and will be watched closely for indications of political change and comments on the North's nuclear ambitions. | The UN Security Council is preparing a response to North Korea after it test-launched two mid-range missiles, China's UN ambassador Liu Jieyi says. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36166990"} | 551 | 41 | 0.511198 | 1.205557 | 0.371485 | 1.5 | 16.166667 | 0.766667 |
It includes some of the busiest days ever faced by hospital emergency units and the Welsh Ambulance Service.
It comes as December's A&E waiting times were published, which are the first indication of how Wales is coping with winter pressures.
Dr Andrew Goodall said currently up to 20% of admissions in some A&Es are of patients aged over 85.
"We're used to having a high proportion of over 85s - the normal level is around 10% but we're seeing levels close to 20% over the last two weeks," said Dr Goodall, NHS Wales chief executive.
The latest statistics suggest there has been a significant increase in the number of patients who have had to wait more than 12 hours in emergency departments this December compared to the same time last year.
In December, 2,425 patients had to spend over 12 hours in urgent care departments - compared to 1,457 in the same month in 2015 - a rise of two thirds. It is down from 2,471 in November however.
But the 81% figure suggests the performance of Welsh A&Es departments against the four hour waiting time target is slightly worse compared to the previous December's 82%.
The data excludes Glan Clwyd Hospital, which could not provide figures for technical reasons.
The winter picture so far includes:
Dr Goodall added: "We remain a system under a lot of pressure but we've prepared very well for this winter.
"There have been some difficult days. But the fact we've come in to this winter with an ambulance service which is performing much more resiliently has really helped us in our response and that we've kept our social care delays low is a positive issue but there is still more to go at."

NHS Wales gets £50m more for winter pressures
Dr David Bailey, deputy chairman of the BMA in Wales and a GP in Trethomas, Caerphilly county, said there had been a "more mature" response from the government in Wales.
But in terms of pressures they were "pretty much identical" in every aspect of the health service and there was no slack in the system.
"We've lost about 40% of the bed numbers in Wales over the last 15 years - like in England - so when there's a surge you haven't the capacity to cope," he said.
"The problems then knock on and even when you get back to more normal levels you have all the backlogs - you can't get people out of hospital because of social care cuts and difficulties in getting people back into their own environment.
"There are then all the concerns about extra overcrowding so you get more hospital-acquired infections - it becomes perfect a storm because of the additional numbers we're not set up to deal with."
Leaked data for NHS England seen by BBC News showed the figure reached a low of 75.8% on 3 January but had recovered to 82.4% last week. It followed claims of a "humanitarian crisis" in the NHS in England and that GPs in England were being made "scapegoats" for pressures on A&E departments.
Welsh Health Secretary Vaughan Gething has said winter pressures are driven by a large increase in much sicker patients.
He tweeted last week that "GPs are not to blame for that fact" and the UK government "picking a fight with NHS staff and demanding the same staff numbers work even longer is a crass attempt to deflect attention".
Dr Bailey said there were consequences of funding cuts and recruitment problems being felt across the NHS and efficiencies could only take us so far.
"If there isn't enough capacity, that doesn't help," he added.
He said there was a "slightly better balance in Wales" to protect social care budgets but it relied on Westminster funding which had been "cut across the board".
Analysis by Mark Dayan, policy and public affairs analyst, Nuffield Trust
"These figures aren't a surprise and are similar to this stage last winter. For some years Wales has been particularly struggling with four hour A&E waits, compared with England and Scotland although there are some signs England is catching up.
"These are issues rooted in the flow through hospitals, the ability to discharge patients to some extent and the ability to move through patients in a timely fashion. Ultimately, there is just the pressure of a growing number of patients on a limited number of beds.
"All parts of the UK tend to show trickier A&E performance in winter - largely due to more elderly patients with respiratory conditions who really need a hospital bed. The underlying factor is pressure to move patients into beds and then the difficulty moving them out to free beds up."
"Finances are very tight, particularly since the recession - Wales bears the brunt of that - but another factor is patients in Wales spend longer in hospital than England and Scotland and that's something we need to look into more. There are also the problems of shortages in key workforce groups, like GPs."
Dr Goodall said 400 extra beds had been made available this winter - the equivalent of a district general hospital - in temporary facilities in decommissioned wards and care homes.
He also said delays in transferring elderly patients from hospital back to care at home had "continued to reduce and improve" and were running much lower than historic levels.
Plaid Cymru's health spokesman Rhun Ap Iorwerth AM said crisis levels of performance were becoming the norm throughout the year.
"Doctors in A&E departments rightly focus on those who are more seriously ill, but we should not have a situation where almost 3,000 people a month have to wait longer than 12 hours in A&E to be seen," he said.
Conservative health spokeswoman Angela Burns AM said worsening A&E statistics had become routine for the Welsh Government.
"Their constant inability to meet their own targets is not only frustrating but incredibly dangerous for patients; the longer patients have to wait for treatment the greater the risk to their health," she said.
The Welsh Government said winter was always a very challenging period for our health and social services.
A spokesman added: "It is testament to the commitment and skill of doctors, nurses, social workers, paramedics and other key staff that despite these difficult circumstances, the vast majority of patients continue to receive the best possible care in a professional and timely manner." | The NHS in Wales has already faced "exceptional" challenges this winter, the head of the organisation has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38611820"} | 1,430 | 24 | 0.540539 | 1.393602 | 0.096407 | 1.5 | 56.954545 | 0.772727 |
BBC Scotland has learned that Mr Green claims his contract with the Ibrox club entitled him to legal cover during and after his spell in charge.

The player was released by the Baltimore Ravens, but he is now allowed to play should he sign for a new team.
The appeal, heard on 5 November but announced on Friday, had to decide if the NFL overstepped its authority.
American football's governing body had modified Rice's two-game suspension, making it indefinite after the video of the incident went public.
Rice has been eligible to sign for a new team since his ban was put in place, but he had not yet accepted a contract.
Rice and his wife Janay - who married after the incident - testified at the hearing, as did NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.
In her decision, US district judge Barbara S Jones wrote: "Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary.
"I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice.
"The provisions of the first discipline - those regarding making continued use of counselling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies -still stand."
The NFL is yet to comment.

The commission will hold a meeting with ministers and regulators on 26 September.
Its food safety chief has called countries to stop "blaming and shaming" each other.
A row has erupted over how long Belgian and Dutch authorities have known about the contamination.
Eggs, coming mainly from the Netherlands, have been found to contain fipronil, a substance used to kill lice and ticks on animals that is banned by the EU for use in the food industry.
It is thought it was used to combat lice in some chicken farms, affecting the eggs of laying hens.
The insecticide can damage people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands if eaten in large quantities. However, food standards agencies are playing down the risks for anyone who has already eaten the tainted eggs.
Farms were shut down in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France after authorities confirmed that fipronil had been used, European Commission spokesman Daniel Rosario said on Friday.
The EU countries that have received the eggs are the UK, Sweden, Austria, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Denmark. Non-EU Switzerland is also affected.
Friday's revelation that tainted eggs had also been sent to Hong Kong marks the first time the widening scandal has spread outside Europe.
The UK food watchdog also said about 700,000 eggs had been sent to the UK from potentially contaminated Dutch farms, up from an earlier estimate of 21,000.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said it was very unlikely that there was a risk to public health.
Processed foods containing eggs, including sandwiches and salads, have been recalled by leading supermarkets, including Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose and Asda.
Supermarkets in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany have also withdrawn millions of eggs from sale.
On Friday, France's Agriculture Minister Stéphane Travert said about 250,000 affected eggs had been sold in the country since April, adding that all products containing eggs from contaminated farms would be taken off the shelves.
In Hong Kong, the government's Centre for Food Safety says it identified two samples of imported Dutch eggs containing excessive levels of fipronil last week and asked shops to remove the products.
It has since tested other European egg imports and has not found any more "unsatisfactory samples", the South China Morning Post newspaper quoted a spokeswoman as saying.
"Blaming and shaming will bring us nowhere and I want to stop this," European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis said on Friday.
"But first things first. Our common job and our priority now is to manage the situation, gather information, focus on the analysis and lessons to be learned in a view to improve our system and prevent criminal activity."
A commission spokesperson later added that the event scheduled for 26 September was not a crisis meeting. It is unclear whether the meeting will involve all 28 EU member states, or only affected countries.
On Thursday, Dutch police arrested two people in joint raids carried out with Belgian authorities.
A criminal investigation is under way, centring on two firms. Poultry Vision, a pest control firm from Belgium, is alleged to have sold the treatment to a Dutch poultry farm cleaning company, Chickfriend.
More than 100 poultry farms have been closed during the investigation, and 26 suspects identified and evidence seized from their companies.
The Netherlands is Europe's biggest egg producer - and one of the largest exporters of eggs and egg products in the world.
The problem first surfaced earlier in August, when supermarket chain Aldi withdrew all its eggs from sale in Germany.
It has since emerged that Belgian officials knew about the contamination in June, but did not make the information public.
Meanwhile, Belgian Agriculture Minister Denis Ducarme has accused the Dutch authorities of knowing about the problem as far back as November 2016. The food watchdog in the Netherlands has denied this.

Fipronil should not be allowed anywhere near food.
But the risk from eggs is thought to be low, because the number of contaminated eggs is also low.
While 700,000 eggs sounds like a lot, it is worth remembering we eat 34 million every single day in the UK.
It is why the Food Standards Agency says it is "very unlikely" there is any health risk.
Many of the affected eggs will have already passed through the food chain before anyone was aware of the scandal.
And the FSA has now pulled egg sandwiches and egg salads off the shelves that were made while contaminated eggs were still being imported.
It insisted there was "no need" for people to stop eating eggs.

Mr Goodway was in charge of finance and economic development which has been taken on by the new council leader Phil Bale.
Mr Bale was voted in by the ruling Labour group last week following the resignation of Heather Joyce.
Mr Goodway is the councillor for Ely and was leader from 1996 to 2004.
Mr Bale said: "I have had to make some difficult decisions but I believe I have put forward a team that can continue to drive forward economic development, improve standards of education and skills as well as focussing on citizen engagement, improving performance and delivering on the co-operative council agenda."
Paying tribute to the outgoing leader Heather Joyce and her team, he added: "I would like to thank them all for their dedication and hard work.
"They have all contributed a great deal to Cardiff in very challenging times and my new team will now pick up that baton and take it forward to continue delivering a world class capital for Wales."
One councillor said he refused an offer to remain cabinet member for the environment because of "a number of things" he felt uncomfortable with, including the departure of Mr Goodway.
Grangetown councillor Ashley Govier said: "When considering a cabinet position, I need to know the team around me and I wasn't satisfied that certain conditions (for me considering the post) had been met.
"I didn't agree with the decision to remove councillor Russell Goodway.
"I think he would be an asset to any cabinet."
It has emerged Mr Govier and Mr Goodway were amongst five cabinet members who sent a letter to the new Labour group leader before the reshuffle, warning it could remove "people with experience who've worked well together".
Another signatory, Lynda Thorne lost her position as cabinet member for community regeneration and social justice.
She told BBC Wales the letter was "intended to encourage the council leader to consider making sure there was plenty of experience in the cabinet".
Ms Thorne said: "It was a letter from the five of us explaining the challenges the council faces and to raise concerns about changing the cabinet dynamics and getting rid of people with experience who've worked well together.
"There are massive changes facing the council and we believed it would be better if we kept the five of us in.
"We had major concerns about big changes in the pipeline, such as budget cuts that are still to be made this year and next. It was the reason we felt he needed to keep that experience in the team."
Cardiff council's budget will be cut by £50m in 2014/15, with a further £92m needs to be cut over the next three years.
But Ms Thorne, another Grangetown councillor, said the reshuffle would not affect the Labour group.
"We're all loyal party members. When the decision is made, it's made, and we'll all fall in line," she said. | The former leader of Cardiff council Russell Goodway has lost his seat in the ruling cabinet after the number of members was cut from 10 to nine. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "26745196"} | 630 | 30 | 0.463485 | 1.191084 | -0.290531 | 1.071429 | 20.714286 | 0.785714 |
Former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos said the businessman forced himself on her at a Los Angeles hotel and began "thrusting his genitals".
Kristin Anderson told the Washington Post he reached up her skirt and groped her in a New York club in the 1990s.
The Republican nominee branded the allegations as "lies and smears".
Ms Anderson, now 46, said the property mogul touched her through her underwear at a Manhattan nightspot when she was a waitress trying to make it as a model.
She said she was "very grossed out and weirded out".
Ms Anderson said she turned round to find a man sitting on a red velvet couch whom she recognised instantly as the celebrity property mogul.
"He was so distinctive looking," she told the Washington Post, "with the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows."
She added: "It wasn't a sexual come-on. I don't know why he did it. It was like just to prove that he could do it, and nothing would happen.
"There was zero conversation. We didn't even really look at each other. It was very random, very nonchalant on his part."
The newspaper said it had approached Ms Anderson after learning of her story through a third party, and she had spent several days deciding whether to go public.
Mr Trump's spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said in a statement emailed to the Washington Post: "Mr Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity. It is totally ridiculous."
Meanwhile, Summer Zervos, a former contestant on season five of The Apprentice in 2006, said she was sexually assaulted by Mr Trump after she was invited by him to discuss job opportunities.
Ms Zervos, 41, told an emotional news conference in Los Angeles that she met him in 2007 in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the businessman greeted her by kissing her on the mouth.
She said he asked her to sit next to him on a sofa where he "grabbed my shoulder and began kissing me again very aggressively and placed his hand on my breast".
Ms Zervos fought back tears as she said Mr Trump attempted to lead her into the bedroom and "began thrusting his genitals", even as she fended off his advances.
She said Mr Trump then began talking to her as if she were a candidate for a job interview.
Ms Zervos, who described herself as a Republican, said she was subsequently offered a low-paid job at a Trump-owned golf course.
She was flanked during the press conference by well-known lawyer Gloria Allred, who has previously represented alleged sexual assault victims of entertainer Bill Cosby.
At the time of the alleged assault, Mr Trump was recently married to his third and current wife, Melania Trump.
His campaign said he "vaguely remembers" Ms Zervos, but insisted the meeting at the hotel never happened.
And during a rally in North Carolina on Friday, the Republican candidate said the several accusations were "sick" and fabricated.
"I don't know who these people are. I look on television, I think it's a disgusting thing and it's being pushed, they have no witnesses, there's nobody around.
"Some are doing it for probably a little fame, they get some free fame. It's a total set-up."

Ms Zervos said she was spurred to come forward after Mr Trump denied during last Sunday's presidential debate ever having committed sexual assault.
He rebutted the suggestion on national television as he was asked about a leaked recording from 2005 in which he is heard bragging that he can force himself on women because he is a star.
Meanwhile, his campaign presented a British man who disputed the account of one of the accusers, Jessica Leeds.
Ms Leeds, now 74, said that when she was 38 Mr Trump groped her on a flight to New York, acting "like an octopus".
The New York Post reported that Anthony Gilberthorpe contacted Mr Trump's campaign to counter the claim. In an interview to the paper he said: "I was there, I was in a position to know that what she said was wrong, wrong, wrong."
Mr Gilberthorpe made headlines in 2014 when he alleged that he had provided underage boys to British politicians for sex parties.
Referring to Ms Leeds in the rally in North Carolina, Mr Trump said: "Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you."

The video of the aftermath of the attack shows a man being pinned to floor having been Tasered by police. It is then that you can hear an unidentified bystander shouting: "You ain't no Muslim bruv."
The phrase has been widely picked up by social media users who say it is the perfect riposte to attempts to spread violence and terror in London.
The first messages were posted shortly after the video emerged online on Saturday night.
However, on Sunday it topped the UK trending chart on Twitter, with thousands sharing the same message.

With wild bees already under threat from habitat loss and pesticides, diseases could have a profound impact on populations, say scientists.
In Britain, bumblebee species are declining, and two have become extinct.
Conservation groups are calling for tougher regulations on importing bees for commercial use.
Researchers at Royal Holloway, University of London, collected hundreds of free flying honeybees and wild bumblebees in 26 areas of England, Wales and Scotland.
Analysis revealed that five common viruses which cause disease in honeybees are circulating in bumblebees.
More needs to be done to protect both wild bees and commercial honeybees, said a team led by Prof Mark Brown of the School of Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London.
"Our findings reveal the widespread prevalence in wild bee populations of multiple RNA viruses previously associated with honeybees," the researchers report in the Journal of Animal Ecology.
Together with other environmental factors, such as habitat loss and pesticides, diseases could have a "profound impact on the long-term health of bee populations," they said.
In the UK there are 24 species of bumblebee but only eight are commonly found in most regions. Bumblebees have been declining due to a shortage of flowers to feed on and places to nest in the countryside.
Native honeybees living in the wild have largely disappeared, due to diseases and mites, such as the Varroa mite.
However, many honeybees looked after by bee keepers forage in the countryside and urban habitats, where they may come into contact with wild bumblebees.
Vanessa Amaral-Rogers of the insect charity Buglife said diseases found in honeybees were another factor to consider in bumblebee conservation.
"We need to consider the use of pesticides, increasing food resources so planting more wild flowers for all our pollinators, but also the diseases that are being brought in and transmitted between wild and managed bees," she said.
The research adds to growing evidence that multiple environmental pressures are driving the loss of bees in the wild and in hives.
In a review of evidence published last week in the journal Science, biologists at the University of Sussex called for practical measures to protect bees including:

The new gas-powered plant will save up to £300,000 a year and make the company self-sufficient for energy.
It will also mean a 10% cut in the company's CO2 emissions - the equivalent of taking around 350 cars off Northern Ireland's roads.
The savings will be invested in the research and development of more efficient feed products.
The company has also signed what is known as a "prosperity agreement" with the authorities that regulate the industry.
The intention is to make the relationship between business and regulator less adversarial and more collaborative.
Businesses agree to operate above the minimum required environmental standards.
The regulator - in this case the Department of the Environment - agrees to cut red tape for companies that demonstrate compliance with environmental regulation.
Visiting Thompsons, Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said: "This is not just about reduced CO2 emissions. More nutritious animal food produced by it means less harmful emissions into the environment from farm livestock.
"Better awareness of environmental responsibilities on farms will further demonstrate that Northern Ireland is serious about creating a world-class clean, green agri-food sector."
Declan Billington of Thompsons added: "The signing of this agreement affirms Thompsons belief that improving on-farm production efficiencies through nutrition will also improve the environmental footprints of farms and will profit both rural communities and the environment as a result."
This is the third prosperity agreement signed by Northern Ireland companies.

MSPs will vote at 17:30 on the motion allowing the Scottish government to open negotiations with Westminster on the timing of a fresh poll.
Ms Sturgeon wants the referendum held between autumn 2018 and spring 2019.
Prime Minister Theresa May said last week that now was not the time to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence.
She argued the focus should be on getting the best Brexit deal for the whole of the UK.
However, Ms Sturgeon said it was right to hold a vote within her timescale in order for the people of Scotland to be offered a choice between a "hard Brexit" and becoming an independent country.
On Tuesday members of the Scottish Parliament began a two-day debate calling for a Section 30 order from Westminster.
The order would be needed to allow a fresh legally-binding referendum on independence to be held.
The government is expected to win the vote with the support of the pro-independence supporting Scottish Greens - despite opposition from the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats.
On the first day of the debate Ms Sturgeon insisted that Scotland's future should be decided by the people who live there rather than being "imposed upon us".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson claimed voters were "sick to death of the SNP's games" over independence as the pro-UK opposition parties argued that there was no appetite for another referendum just two and a half years after the first one.
In September 2014, voters in Scotland backed staying a part of the UK by 55% to 45%.
"That the parliament acknowledges the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs and therefore mandates the Scottish government to take forward discussions with the UK government on the details of an order under section 30 of the Scotland Act 1998 to ensure that the Scottish Parliament can legislate for a referendum to be held that will give the people of Scotland a choice over the future direction and governance of their country at a time - and with a question and franchise - determined by the Scottish Parliament, which would most appropriately be between the autumn of 2018, when there is clarity over the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, and around the point at which the UK leaves the EU in spring 2019." | Holyrood is expected to back First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call for a second independence referendum. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39347721"} | 476 | 27 | 0.498579 | 1.103279 | -0.333673 | 1.235294 | 25.882353 | 0.764706 |

RSPB Scotland launched an appeal to raise £285,000 for the Mersehead reserve on the Solway Firth in October last year.
The target has been reached enabling it to buy an extra 112 hectares (275 acres) of land in the area.
It will allow two separate parts of the reserve, situated south of Dumfries, to be linked up.
The reserve is a sanctuary for thousands of Svalbard barnacle geese every year as well as a home to natterjack toads and many different types of bird.
David Beaumont, RSPB Scotland reserves manager in south and west Scotland, said: "A huge thank-you to everyone who donated money to this urgent appeal.
"It really was a race against time when we launched our campaign to secure this site for nature.
"Thanks to the overwhelming public response, Mersehead has now been made whole, which is wonderful news for the special wildlife of the Solway Firth."
Over the next two years, RSPB Scotland will be working to restore the special saltmarsh and sand dune habitats on the newest part of the reserve.
This will create more nesting opportunities for birds such as redshanks and skylarks that breed in the saltmarsh and more ponds in the sand dunes suitable for the natterjack toad population to expand into.
Work will begin this spring with the removal of scrub and non-native plant species. | A nature reserve which is home to rare natterjack toads and other wildlife is set to expand. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38885741"} | 332 | 25 | 0.504823 | 1.243634 | -0.205427 | 1.5 | 14.5 | 0.833333 |

Despite the blaze at the Address hotel, the display at the nearby Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, started as planned at midnight.
Officials say the fire has been brought largely under control and 16 people suffered mostly minor injuries.
It is unclear what caused the blaze, which broke out as large crowds had gathered to ring in the New Year.
People were asked to leave the area around the Address Downtown Hotel, which was evacuated.
The fire broke out at about 21:30 local time (17:30 GMT) and appeared to engulf much of the building, a five-star hotel and apartment complex, within 10 minutes.
As I watched the flames engulf the massive building, I knew right away it was the Address Hotel in Dubai's downtown district that overlooks Burj Khalifa. I also knew that it was fully booked five years in advance.
There were also thousands of people in the streets below and in the adjacent buildings, all waiting to view the highly anticipated New Year's Eve fireworks display, among them my youngest sister.
After checking on my sister, I hastily decided to head out to downtown Dubai in the hope of seeing the scene on the ground for myself.
As I approached downtown, I realised that the normally brightly illuminated Burj Khalifa was only half-lit and I could barely see the imposing structure amid the black smoke from the Address Hotel.
I did not expect to spend the next four hours right outside the downtown area, in one of the worst traffic jams I have ever encountered.
As the clock struck midnight, I resigned myself to ringing in the New Year among thousands of strangers, all gazing out of our cars towards Burj Khalifa's spectacular fireworks display, alongside a burning hotel.
The blaze started on the 20th floor and did not spread inside the building, officials said.
The Dubai government tweeted that 14 people had suffered minor injuries, one had moderate injuries and there was one "heart attack case" due to "overcrowding and smoke".
Irish singer Anita Williams, who was performing at the hotel when the fire began, told the BBC that people left in a "stampede".
"We left everything. There was debris falling down. It [the fire] just shot up through the entire hotel.
"Everybody was screaming, everybody was running... I thought: 'This is a film'."
The fireworks display went ahead as smoke continued to billow from the hotel.
Alternative accommodation would be offered to evacuated guests, the Dubai government said.
BBC World Service Middle East editor Sebastian Usher says the display is a hugely prestigious event for Dubai, and authorities want the images that people look back on next year to be of the fireworks - and not of the blaze.
Tom Stroud, from London, who is staying near the hotel, said: "It happened so quickly. There was smoke billowing everywhere and people running away."
A tourist, Michelle Duque told the BBC: "All of a sudden we saw this huge black plume of black smoke coming between the Khalifa Tower and the hotel.
"The flames burst out really big and before we knew it, the whole of the Address Hotel was covered in orange flames." | A huge fire has engulfed a 63-storey hotel in central Dubai ahead of a New Year's Eve firework display. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35207451"} | 701 | 33 | 0.524442 | 1.30839 | 0.169683 | 1.565217 | 27.652174 | 0.782609 |
They accuse Sushila Karki of delivering biased verdicts and interfering in the executive's jurisdiction.
At least 249 MPs signed the motion, well over the quarter required to open an impeachment investigation.
It comes after the Supreme Court overturned the government's choice of chief of police.
Last month the court ruled in favour of a claim by Navaraj Silwal, the most senior officer in the ranks, that he had been unfairly bypassed in favour of a less senior colleague, Jaya Bahadur Chand.
A hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday 2 May on the government's second choice of candidate, Prakash Aryal, local media report.

Critics say there is a history of political parties determining police appointments on the basis of "undue favours rather than merit".
Nepalese media reports say there had been disagreement within the coalition over the appointment.
Ms Karki, the head of the Supreme Court, is now automatically suspended from her duties while an impeachment committee is formed and carries out an investigation.
The conclusion will then be put to a parliamentary vote, with a two-thirds majority required.

The book will trace the rap crew's origins as a New York high school punk band through to their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Band member MCA, real name Adam Yauch, died from cancer aged 47 in May 2012.
Publishers Faber & Faber said the book was "a landmark acquisition".
"Beastie Boys have entertained us for years with classic albums like Paul's Boutique and Hello Nasty," said Faber's Lee Brackstone.
"They will now entertain us on the page, in this book which celebrates the 30-plus years of their unique story and influence."
Initially a hardcore punk band called the Young Aboriginals, Yauch and co-founders Mike D, aka Mike Diamond, and Ad Rock, real name Adam Horowitz, met in high school in Brooklyn.
They switched to hip-hop, renamed themselves the Beastie Boys and, in 1986, launched their debut album Licensed To Ill.
Its hit singles included (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) and No Sleep Till Brooklyn.
Although the music was acclaimed, the band's brash and bratty personas earned them more than their share of negative headlines.
Their penchant for wearing Volkswagen badges around their neck was also blamed for a rise in car vandalism.
But subsequent albums such as Paul's Boutique and Ill Communication are considered classics of the genre and cemented their reputation as one of America's most popular and enduring rap outfits.
In 2009 the band delayed their release of their album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 following news that Yauch was suffering from cancer of the salivary gland.
Although Part 1 was delayed indefinitely, the album's second part was released by the band in 2011.
The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Yauch died just a few weeks later.
Musicians from across the spectrum paid tribute, with electronic DJ Moby calling him "a wonderful, generous, remarkable and inspiring man and friend".
The new book, to be compiled by hip-hop writer Sacha Jenkins, will include contributions from writers exploring Yauch's musical legacy. | A new book telling the story of the Beastie Boys, to be written by surviving members Mike D and Ad Rock and reflecting the death of bandmate MCA, is to be published in 2015. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "22350161"} | 477 | 42 | 0.508987 | 1.652474 | 0.177412 | 1.378378 | 11.297297 | 0.72973 |
The section of 16th century tapestry was owned by Emma Budge, whose estate was confiscated after her death in 1935 and sold to benefit Hitler's regime.
A claim by her estate was upheld by the UK's Spoliation Advisory Panel which looks into cases of looted artworks.
The amount of compensation due to the family is still to be decided.
The artwork at the centre of the claim is a tapestry fragment representing "The Visitation".
It depicts the pregnant Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth, the future mother of Saint John the Baptist.
The tapestry was made in Switzerland early in the 16th century. The fragment was cut from a larger tapestry and fashioned into the shape of an ecclesiastical cope hood.
It was acquired by Mrs Budge who, along with her husband Henry, amassed a considerable fortune after emigrating to the United States.
They returned to Hamburg where Mr Budge died in 1927. His wife died in 1935, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Mrs Budge's estate was confiscated by a Nazi official and sold at auction that same year.
The section of tapestry was acquired by Sir William Burrell in 1938.
Following his death in 1958, he left his thousands of paintings, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics and stained glass to Glasgow.
The famous collection, which is housed in a museum in Pollok Park, is controlled by the city council.
It has now agreed to pay compensation after a claim by Mrs Budge's heirs was upheld by the Spoliation Advisory Panel and it will discuss the amount at a later date. | Compensation is to be paid to a German Jewish woman's estate after it emerged a piece of Nazi-looted artwork ended up in Glasgow's famous Burrell Collection. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33912057"} | 364 | 40 | 0.458738 | 1.312594 | 0.112972 | 0.83871 | 9.870968 | 0.709677 |
He was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele on 31 July 1917.
Some weeks later his poem won the prestigious chair prize at the Welsh National Eisteddfod cultural festival held in Birkenhead, Wirral.
A new chair will be presented at an event to mark the 100th anniversary.
Hedd Wyn, the bardic name of Ellis Humphrey Evans, born on 13 January 1887 in Gwynedd, was already a poet of some renown.
His death represented so many who marched off to war never to return, according to the Merseyside Welsh Heritage Society and the Welsh National Memorial and Hedd Wyn Society in Flanders.
In September, Hedd Wyn and others from Wales who fell in battle will be remembered in a poetry and arts festival to be held in Birkenhead Park.
A stone marks the spot where the eisteddfod was held 100 years ago and where Hedd Wyn won his posthumous prize - the Black Chair of Birkenhead.
The centrepiece of this year's event will be the awarding of a new chair designed by students in Flanders, a gift from the Flemish Hedd Wyn Society - a group of people who honour his memory.
Dr D Ben Rees, chairman of the Merseyside Welsh Heritage Society, said the 1917 eisteddfod had been a "huge occasion" due to the numbers of Welsh people living in the area.
"Wales was very much part of our heritage here on Merseyside," he said.
The society is to restore the stone and incorporate details of Hedd Wyn.
Dr Rees said the festival was being used to "remind people of the sacrifice made by Welsh lads from the churches and chapels on Merseyside".
About 220 men, members of a Welsh chapel in Bootle, fought in World War One, he said.
The initial intention had been to donate the Hedd Wyn Centenary Chair to this year's National Eisteddfod to be held on Anglesey, but that did not prove possible.
The design has come from a competition involving furniture design students at the Thomas More University in Mechelen, between Brussels and Antwerp.
The chair was originally planned to be a unique commission but, after learning about it, the Flemish government asked for a second to be made which it plans to give as a gift to the Welsh Government.
Erwin Ureel, from the Welsh National Memorial and Hedd Wyn Society in Flanders, said Hedd Wyn's Black Chair was "highly symbolic" because it was designed by a Flemish furniture maker living as a refugee in Birkenhead.
"We thought at the centenary this is a perfect moment to more or less repeat the story and bring another chair to Wales as Hedd Wyn's Centenary Chair," he said.
The chairs will be made from railway sleepers which were found buried in a farmer's field near the battlefield.
Hedd Wyn died at a crossroads just outside the Flemish town of Langemark.
The place is known now as the site of the Dragon Memorial, dedicated to all those from Wales who served in World War One.
He is buried not far away at Artillery Wood Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery.
Both locations will be the focus of events in July to mark the centenary of his death.
Mr Ureel said: "Hedd Wyn is a symbol for all the Welsh men who fought in the area.

Oscar Webb's eye was sliced in half by a propeller after the operator, Simon Evans, lost control of the drone.
The toddler, from Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, will need several operations before he can have a prosthetic eye fitted.
It was the first drone injury Oscar's surgeon had seen, but she said it was "inevitable" there would be many more.
Mr Evans said: "It was up for about 60 seconds. As I brought it back down to land it just clipped the tree and span round.
"The next thing I know I've just heard my friend shriek and say 'Oh God no' and I turned around and just saw blood and his baby on the floor crying."
Oscar's mother, Amy Roberts, said she was in the ambulance taking Oscar to hospital in Birmingham when he opened his eye.
"What I saw, I can still see it now, and what I saw or what I thought I saw was the bottom half of his eye and it's the worst thing I've ever seen.
"I just hoped and prayed all the way there that what I saw wasn't true and wasn't real."
Before Oscar's accident seven weeks ago his family were unaware of the potential safety issues surrounding drones.
Faye Mellington, consultant in oculoplastics and orbital surgery at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, said she and her team "knew straight away the outlook for Oscar's vision long term was extremely poor".
The little boy can still see out of his uninjured eye.

Miss Mellington said: "I have seen a lot of ocular injuries, but never in someone so young, and I've not seen one from a drone.
"That said, given their popularity and the common use, it's inevitable that we'll see a lot more."
The Civil Aviation Authority has released guidelines for flying drones safely, and there will be a public consultation before a government strategy is published in 2016.
The consultation, by the Department of Transport, will cover "the full range of issues relating to remotely piloted aircraft systems and drones and their use in UK airspace, including licensing and registration", said transport minister Robert Goodwill.
Oscar's grandmother, Anita Roberts, who contacted the BBC consumer affairs programme BBC Watchdog after seeing a broadcast about the safety of drones, said she was shocked at the number of people who thought the gadgets "were just toys".
Mr Evans, who has been forgiven by Oscar's family who regard what happened as an "awful accident", said he had not used a drone since it happened: "I look at the drones in the garage and I feel physically sick."

The fund ran from 2010 to 2016, costing £1.27bn, following an election promise made by the Conservatives to pay for cancer drugs the NHS was not funding.
The researchers found only one in five of the treatments was of benefit.
But the Tories said the fund gave patients "precious extra time".
Nearly 100,000 patients received drugs under the scheme. It was run separately to the normal NHS process for assessing the effectiveness and affordability of new drugs, which is administered by a body called NICE.
The fund was promised by the Conservatives during the 2010 election campaign amid concern patients were not always getting access to the latest drugs.
Lead researcher Prof Richard Sullivan, from King's College London, described it as "policy on the hoof" because of the way it was announced.
"Populism doesn't work when you are dealing with complex areas of policy like this. When it was launched it was not monitored properly. It was politically and intellectually lazy."
He said it was not only politicians who were guilty, but leading doctors and cancer charities for not speaking out against the fund or scrutinising it more.
And he said by the end the initiative had proved to be a "huge waste of money" and a "major policy error", saying it was telling that in 2015 the committee that controlled the fund started delisting drugs and ended up striking off more than half the treatments from the list.
But the chief executive of Breast Cancer Now, Baroness Delyth Morgan, said the fund had "had a totally transformational impact" on many living with incurable breast cancer.
She added it had offered patients "significant and precious extra time with their loved ones", adding Perjeta could extend life by nearly 16 months, and Kadcyla by six to nine months, compared with existing treatments.
But Baroness Morgan did say the fund had only ever been "intended as a sticking plaster" while the "significant flaws" in the NICE appraisal process were fixed.
One patient, Julie Strelley-Jones who has breast cancer that spread to her brain took Kadcyla through the fund: "I wouldn't be here without this drug.
"It's everything to me and my family and my friends, and if you were in my situation I don't think you can put a value on saving somebody or extending somebody's life."
The fund was eventually brought under the remit of NICE last year and is now used to pay for treatments it believes there is a case to fund.
The study, which was published in the Annals of Oncology journal, looked at the 47 treatments that were being funded by January 2015, the point at which drugs started to be delisted because the cost of the fund was spiralling out of control.
They found only 18% met internationally recognised criteria for being deemed clinically beneficial.
This led them to conclude that a majority of patients may well have suffered because of side effects that the drugs can cause.
This can include anything from hair loss, upset stomachs and swelling in joints to an increased risk of stroke.
Of the drugs where there was some evidence of benefit, the average was an extra 3.2 months of survival.
Emlyn Samuel, of Cancer Research UK, agreed with the researchers that the fund "wasn't fit for purpose".
He said the charity would be closely monitoring the impact of the new system administered by NICE.

The army says 15 militants were also killed in the attack, which took place near the town of Bir al-Abd.
Gunmen from the Sinai Province group are reported to be behind the attack.
It is Egypt's most active insurgent group, which pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State in 2014.
Officials said a gun battle erupted after the militants opened fire on the checkpoint with light arms and heavy machine-guns.
Friday's attack was the latest in what appears to be a surge in the number of operations launched by the militants.

However, the army has appeared to have had a degree of success in suppressing the militants recently, and it is some time since the fighters carried out an attack on the scale of this one.

Guitarist Slash previously played there as a solo artist in 2010.
The original members of Guns N' Roses reformed in January after years of acrimony.
Singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan launched their comeback in April with two well-received performances in Las Vegas; followed by a headline set at the Coachella festival, where Rose had to sing from a "throne" after breaking his foot.
The band spent the rest of 2016 touring North and South America; while Rose also played several shows with AC/DC, whose singer Brian Johnson had to quit touring due to hearing difficulties.
By playing Slane Castle next year, the band will be revisiting one of the most tense shows of their two-year Use Your Illusion Tour.
Twenty-five years ago, Rose skipped a sound check at the venue, and arrived by helicopter long after he was due on stage. While they waited, the rest of the band were sent a crate of Irish whiskey and a barrel of Guinness by U2.
"Axl Rose nearly induced a nervous breakdown," wrote the castle's owner Lord Henry Mountcharles, years later. "However, it was a magic show. It kicked off the 90s."
Despite starting the show more than an hour late, Guns N' Roses appeared to enjoy the show, too.
"Playing in sunshine - it's a new concept," remarked Axl, who played impromptu covers of Black Sabbath's It's Alright and U2's One alongside hits like November Rain, Paradise City and Welcome To The Jungle.
Speaking on Monday, Lord Mountcharles said he was "thrilled" to be welcoming the band into his back garden after 25 years.

The Stubbington bypass near Fareham has been "an aspiration for more than 30 years", ministers said.
The award supplements £8.5m already given to the project by Hampshire County Council.
The authority said work on the road was expected to start within two years and would take about two years to complete.
The bypass will run through nearly three miles of farmland near Stubbington village, connecting the A27 with the Solent Enterprise Zone on the former Daedalus airfield.
Gosport MP Caroline Dinenage said it would "unlock £200m of private sector leverage" as well as easing "terrible congestion" on the A32 and other routes.
The government, which announced funding as part of the latest round of local Growth Deals, said road users would enjoy "particularly strong forecast benefits".
The money was awarded to the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership which submitted a bid in July, naming the bypass as a top priority.
Hampshire County Councillor Rob Humby, in charge of transport, said it was "one of the biggest schemes by far" that the authority had delivered. | A long-awaited bypass to ease "terrible congestion" in part of Hampshire will finally go ahead after the government allocated £25.7m to build it. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38852553"} | 234 | 34 | 0.67398 | 1.495999 | 0.053192 | 1.166667 | 6.966667 | 0.633333 |
English Heritage says that moth numbers have doubled in the past five years, most likely because of warmer weather.
A new species has been found feeding happily on the ancient wool carpets and tapestries under their care.
The charity is seeking the public's help to track the spread of the fluttering, destructive creatures.
With many historic houses and sites opening up to the public this week, conservation experts at English Heritage are concerned about the potential damage that clothes moths can wreak.
Many of the 2,400 species of moths found in the UK pose a threat to clothing, upholstery, furs and even stuffed animals.
The insects only fly when it is warm and tend to shun light, hiding in dark recesses where they lay eggs on wool, feathers or skins.
When these eggs hatch out, it is the larvae that do the real damage, spinning silk webbing into tunnel shapes across the carpet or fabric. They also eat the fibres, resulting in holes in clothes and the loss of pile in carpets.
English Heritage has been monitoring the the spread of clothes moths since 1997 and is now checking for the creatures at 40 sites, with the aim of preventing damage to around 500,000 artefacts.
As well as a doubling of the numbers in the past five years, it has also found a new species turning up in its traps, the Pale-backed Clothes Moth.
"Many people already know the exasperation of finding a much-loved jumper or coat destroyed by clothes moths," said Amber Xavier-Rowe, English Heritage's Head of Collections Conservation.
"They can eat through centuries-old carpets, tapestries and clothes in a matter of months. Clothes moths are a conservator's worst nightmare and it's an ongoing battle to keep them under control."
English Heritage is seeking the help of the public to track and monitor the moths.
Visitors to its sites will be able to collect a free clothes moth trap to place in their home, to help monitor the presence and type of moths. The collected data will be used to help the charity to decide how moths are spreading and how best to focus their conservation efforts.
"We want to know why numbers are rising so that we can continue to keep them under control," said Ms Xavier-Rowe.
"We need the public's help to get a better picture of the clothes moth threat. Come to our sites, pick up a free trap, take it home and leave it for a couple of months, and then share your findings with us on our website."
Among its tips for dealing with clothes moth infestations, English Heritage recommends avoiding old mothball formulations and instead encourages the use of safe alternatives such as bunches or sachets of lavender.
The best way of killing the adults, eggs and larvae of moths in clothing and small textiles is to deep freeze items for at least two weeks.

Fell, who was the county's top scorer in the County Championship in 2015, had an operation in October after a tumour was discovered.
"I got the results on 1 November and they broke the good news that it hadn't spread," the 22-year-old said.
"It was really the best news that I could have hoped for."
Fell is now back in training at New Road and is set to spend part of the winter in Australia playing grade cricket in Perth.

"I was quite lucky. I was fairly stupid in the fact I didn't get it checked straight away," Fell said.
"When they did analyse the tumour, it was fairly big at the stage they operated.
"I think if I had left it any longer and I had gone to Australia without being checked, who knows how bad it could have been.
"Because I felt no different, that is why I didn't bother to get it checked sooner than I did."
Fell has chosen not to follow up his operation with any further treatment on the advice of his specialist.
"I was recommended by the professor I saw that if you can avoid chemotherapy it is definitely something I should do - especially as a sportsman - as the side effects and consequences can be quite severe," he said.
"It is something I want to avoid. I've been told there is a 65% chance it is all clear and a 35% chance it can come back and if it comes back, it will most likely be in the next three months and then I would have to go through three cycles of chemotherapy as opposed to two now.
"I've got back into training which has been a bit of a shock to the system this week but it's great to be back - playing cricket is the best thing about it."

The 100-page document highlights areas where the US falls short and calls on the private sector to help hasten the improvement of digital services.
President Barack Obama set up the commission in preparation for the new administration.
He said its recommendations should be followed within the first 100 days of Mr Trump's presidency.
"Now it is time for the next administration to take up this charge and ensure that cyberspace can continue to be the driver for prosperity, innovation, and change both in the United States and around the world,'’ the outgoing leader said.
However, the report is only advisory and Mr Trump could choose to ignore its suggestions.
Botnet attack
In its 16 recommendations, the Presidential Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity also suggested implementing a kind of “nutritional label” system for devices. The label would contain independent advice on how secure a particular device may or may not be.
Earlier this year it was discovered that thousands of poorly-designed webcams were hijacked by criminals to use in a botnet attack - a technique which involves directing large amounts of internet traffic to one target in order to overwhelm a system.
Army of webcams used in net attacks
What Trump means for tech
By alerting consumers to potential security risks - such as default passwords - this kind of situation could be avoided in future.
But the commission said it ultimately wanted to remove the burden of cybersecurity away from the general public and instead deal with it from the top down - suggesting, for example, that companies prohibit the use of popular passwords such as “password” or “password123”.
It set a target of eliminating identity theft by 2021, a task which the experts said would need 100,000 new workers trained in the field of cybersecurity.
Russia intrusion
The report’s backdrop comes amid ongoing concern about how weak cybersecurity is allowing other nations to interfere with US governance.
During the election campaign, Russia was blamed for a hack on the Democratic Party’s emails, causing a storm over, among other things, supposed efforts to suppress the emerging success of rival Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders.
The report said the cybersecurity ambassador should take up the challenge of establishing global rules over how nations behave when it comes to carrying out cyber-related operations.
The commission, which was made up of 12 security and legal experts, also said the private sector should work together with the government to utilise the best talent that may be working at the likes of Facebook, Google and others.
One hurdle to overcome, however, was what the report described as a “distrust” between Silicon Valley and government, fuelled by the fall-out from the Edward Snowden surveillance revelations.
Mr Trump’s team has not yet commented on the report. During the campaign, the president-elect outlined his own cybersecurity plan. It involved forming a cyber review team to assess the country’s readiness.

It follows the death of professional fighter Mike Towell following a bout in Glasgow last week.
Amateur boxer Daniel Flaherty had to have part of his skull removed after he collapsed in Motherwell last October.
His father, John Flaherty, told BBC Radio Scotland that his son will never go into a boxing ring again.
Daniel Flaherty, from Stirling, collapsed after losing a fight that could have seen him named Scottish Novice Champion.
He underwent life-saving surgery to stem the bleeding on his brain at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow that night.
A few days later, after taking a turn for the worse, he had part of his skull removed. He has since had a titanium plate fitted.
His father told the Good Morning Scotland programme that Daniel had made a "very good recovery".
He said: "At the time, there was questions whether there would be some sense of brain injury but that doesn't seem to have materialised.
"He's got back more or less full mobility. His speech is a bit slurred at times but he's ok with that.
"He had a wee problem with his eyes at first but that's settled down too. All in all, where we've been and where we are now, we couldn't ask for any more."
John Flaherty said neither he nor his son oppose boxing, despite their experience over the last 12 months.
But he added: "Daniel obviously, being through what he's been through, he wouldn't go in the ring again.
"And if he knew what was going to happen to him he wouldn't have gone into the ring."
Mr Flaherty pointed to the death of Mike Powell, the life-threatening injuries suffered by Nick Blackwell in a fight with Chris Eubank Jr in March, and the experience of his son, as evidence that there needs to be a rethink in the sport.
He called for head guards to be reintroduced to the amateur sport, after they were removed from men's boxing in 2013 amid claims it would reduce concussions.
He also suggested that the method of scoring could be changed, and they could "take away the head as a target", especially at amateur level.
"I don't believe for a minute, in all honesty, that a boxer goes into the ring thinking that he could die that day," Mr Flaherty said.
"I think boxers go into the ring and think it will never happen to me."
Mr Flaherty claimed that brain bleeds "happen quite regularly" in boxing.
"The problem is they're not reported very well, there's not record of it," he said.
"Boxing itself doesn't keep a record. Even Daniel's case wasn't investigated." | The father of a Scottish boxer who suffered a bleed on the brain after a fight last year has called for a rethink on safety within boxing. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37550669"} | 637 | 38 | 0.560887 | 1.467382 | 0.3694 | 1.107143 | 19.642857 | 0.821429 |

The number waiting more than 14 weeks has soared in the past year.
Ongoing problems with mental health services in Wales were previously highlighted in a report last year.
The Welsh government said cutting waiting times was a priority, and extra funding of £250,000 had been announced recently.
Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said: "Sadly the Welsh Labour government is determined to bury its head in the sand and ignore the catalogue of concerns and warnings that young people in Wales are being put at risk.
"This complacency is astounding and the Welsh Labour government should hang its head in shame."
The number of children in Wales waiting more than 14 weeks for psychiatric services rose from 199 to 736 in the 12 months up to January 2014.
Problems with the child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) were raised in a report last December despite some progress being recognised since a previous study in 2009.
The joint review by Health Inspectorate Wales and the Wales Audit Office said children were being put at risk because of inappropriate admissions to adult mental health wards.
The assembly's children's committee is currently holding an inquiry into the service.
In its evidence to the committee, the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Wales said there was "significant variation in access" around Wales.
A Welsh government spokesperson said: "Waiting times are a priority in our CAMHS improvement plan.
"We have seen an increase in demand in recent years in part because of changes in 2012 for services to care for young people until their 18th birthday.
"The Mental Health (Wales) Measure, which came into force in 2012, enables more patients be seen by local mental health services, which means that CAMHS can concentrate on treating the most complex patients.
"The health minister [Mark Drakeford] recently announced an extra £250,000 a year for CAMHS services, which will ensure more young people are cared for in Wales, reducing the need for costly out-of-area placements." | The growing problem of children waiting for psychiatric services in Wales is being ignored by ministers, it has been claimed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "26834267"} | 439 | 28 | 0.571399 | 1.42906 | -0.039464 | 1.181818 | 17.545455 | 0.727273 |
Experts with advice for the health service are among those who have had applications refused, they said.
The Welsh Government launched the Wales For Africa programme in 2006.
The Home Office said all UK visa applications were considered on their individual merits.
It added this was in line with UK immigration rules and guidance.
Pontypridd GP Geoff Lloyd said while more than 100 Ugandans have visited the town over the last 10 years through the charity Pont, some were now being refused entry.
He said: "Most problematic of all, is that we started finding that the vast majority of visas were being denied and they were being denied at the last moment, which turned our plans to bring visitors of Uganda over into total chaos and left a lot of very frustrated people both in Wales and Uganda."
Duncan Cameron, a recently retired consultant paediatrician at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire, said it had charitable links with a hospital in Ethiopia and last year it invited two senior clinicians to visit.
But he said their visas were turned down because the Border Agency was not sufficiently reassured the Africans would return home.
Former First Minister Rhodri Morgan, who died in May, set up the Wales for Africa programme.
His wife, Labour AM Julie Morgan, said Wales learnt a lot from the projects and vice versa, and called the problems "deeply disturbing".
"Some of the visitors who have come here have been treated very badly at the borders, like dirt really," she said.
"They have been suspected of coming here to stay. These highly qualified professional people who have so much to give to our health service, they are suspected of coming to Wales and wanting to stay.
"They are treated as though they are trying to get something out of our country rather than give something."
Dr Tony Jewell, Wales's former chief medical officer, told a Wales for Africa conference in Cardiff he had taken the matter up with MPs.
He said: "I think people do recognise this is a problem, and sometimes this is hard to understand.
"These are either deans of medical schools in Africa or leading politicians in their own country and they'll come to give a talk and they'll go back. They aren't subversive economic migrants."
Dr Grace Kodindo, a consultant obstetrician in Chad, was refused a visa but the Home Office reversed that decision after the Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan raised the matter in parliament.
She was, however, kept waiting at Heathrow Airport for several hours before being let through.
"I felt like I was nobody. A criminal. A no-good person. I was not expecting at all this treatment, especially as in 2007 I was invited to the House of Commons. I gave a talk there. So that was not my first time," she said.
Dr Kodindo was invited to Wales by Angela Gorman, a paediatric nurse in Cardiff who had seen a BBC Panorama programme about her work.
It inspired Ms Gorman to found the charity Life for African Mothers and she said she believes the difficulties with visas are undermining charities' work.
"It's just this frustration and anger at this attitude that everyone who comes to the UK wants to stay here and that's not the case," she said.
The Welsh Government said health secretary Vaughan Gething has written to the Home Office to make representations on behalf of those wanting to come to the UK as part of the Wales for Africa programme. | Welsh NHS charities with links to Africa have said some people they invite to Wales are being humiliated by the way the Home Office handles their visitor visa applications. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "41030727"} | 750 | 33 | 0.599527 | 1.730885 | 0.434547 | 1.133333 | 22.866667 | 0.8 |
Ms Lucas, who became the party's first MP in 2010, gained 22,871 votes, ahead of Labour's Purna Sen with 14,904.
She said the election campaign was the "most successful" ever for the Greens.
However, despite a record vote share of 3.8%, the party did not add to its one seat, missing out in key targets Bristol West and Norwich South.
The swing of 10.1% to the Greens in Brighton Pavilion came largely at the expense of the Liberal Democrats, who were down 11% on 2010 with 1,525 votes, finishing fifth.
The Conservatives were in third place and UKIP fourth.
Following her win, Ms Lucas said the Greens had "made history" and had had the "most successful election campaign ever, with almost a million people voting Green".
However, she added that the results had shown "the political system in this country is broken".
"It's ever clearer tonight that the time for electoral reform is long overdue, and it's only proportional representation that will deliver a Parliament that is truly legitimate and better reflects the people it is meant to represent."
Green Party membership has surged in recent months and the party had hoped it would translate into more parliamentary seats.
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett finished third in the safe Labour sweat in Holborn and St Pancras.
Analysis, by BBC correspondent June Kelly
Natalie Bennett was one of the fresh faces of this election. Following in the trail of Caroline Lucas, an assured leader and media performer, was always going to be tough.
Ms Bennett came a cropper before the campaign had begun with a shambolic radio interview which she put down to "brain fade".
After that, her personal challenge was to demonstrate she was a competent leader with a grip on policy.
She stood in the central London seat of Holborn and St Pancras. This was safe Labour territory and she came third, ahead of the Lib Dems.
Like other leaders of the smaller parties, Ms Bennett was given a more public platform in this ground breaking election.
We were told voters were hungry for alternatives. The Green leader needed to capitalise on this and broaden the party's appeal. It appears they have increased their share of the vote, including in some of the big northern cities.
Put to her that there had been no Green "surge", Ms Bennett pointed to increases in the party's membership.
And she restated her pledge that the party would do "everything we possibly can" to ensure there was not a Conservative government.
Asked whether she would step down if the party did not perform well, Ms Bennett replied: "I'll be serving out my full two years' term." | The Green Party's Caroline Lucas has held her seat in Brighton Pavilion with an increased share of the vote. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32633718"} | 579 | 23 | 0.448559 | 1.295701 | 0.635603 | 2.095238 | 25.52381 | 0.952381 |

The Japanese company will invest an unspecified amount in Uber and offer new leasing options for its drivers.
Toyota said the two companies would share also knowledge and speed up their research efforts in areas such as driverless cars.
Volkswagen announced an investment in Gett, an Israel-based rideshare operator.
Toyota said that as patterns of car usage continued to change, it wanted the collaboration to be about more than simply providing vehicles but to also collaborate on technology such as in-car apps.
Gett chief executive Shahar Waiser also stressed that the partnership with VW would involve technology and innovation.
VW said: "The ride-hailing market represents the greatest market potential in on-demand mobility, while creating the technological platform for developing tomorrow's mobility business models."
Uber's deal with Toyota follows Apple's $1bn investment in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing. That has been regarded in some quarters as a political move by the US technology giant to bolster its presence in the crucial Chinese market.
Apple is also believed to be developing a car.

When Bayern thrashed the mighty Barcelona on Tuesday evening, Mr Hoeness sported his red supporter's scarf and gaudy scarlet jacket, the son of a butcher who rose to celebrity through his boots - and to riches by setting up a business making sausages.
But now he finds himself at the centre of a row over taxes. He admitted that he had a Swiss bank account: "Through my tax adviser I turned myself in to the tax authorities in January, 2013. It was in relation to a Swiss bank account of mine," he said. That has unleashed a volley of criticism as fierce as the goals he used to score.
Just as the (now former) French socialist tax minister Jerome Cahuzac ignited the debate about tax havens and off-shore arrangements for the wealthy in France, so Uli Hoeness has done the same in Germany.
Mr Cahuzac was the minister charged with maximising tax revenue. He had said: "I do not have, I have never had, an account abroad, not now, not ever," - until he said that he did have an account abroad. You can see the difficulty.
Uli Hoeness is not a politician. But he is a big public figure, and one who was big on probity: the sports star turned businessman turned chat-show guest with an opinion on everything - including business ethics.
From his position in a television studio, he opined: "You can't preach the virtues of water and then drink wine."
Subsequently, with the revelation of the Swiss account, Die Zeit wrote: "Hoeness always put great importance on morals. He would even frequently chat with Chancellor Angela Merkel."
Chancellor Merkel is unlikely to be talking much to him now. Her spokesman said: "Many people in Germany are now disappointed in Uli Hoeness. The Chancellor is among these people."
Her distance from her friend is understandable.
The German government in an election year has made much of its belief that if German taxpayers bail out the banks and governments of Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain, then everybody should pay their fair share.
But there has been a debate about how the unpaid taxes should best be retrieved. The German government reckoned that a softer approach would claw back more money.
The idea was to offer those with undeclared Swiss bank accounts the chance to come clean (albeit in private). If they did, they would pay back-tax but not be publicly shamed.
But the opposition balked at that. It said that those with hidden cash over the border should be pursued. It won, blocking the government's plan. A new agreement with Switzerland, offering softer terms, with more carrot and less stick, was abandoned.
It seems that Uli Hoeness had declared his account to the German authorities because he thought that the semi-amnesty was on the way, only to find, too late, that it was not.
He was then left as bereft as a solitary centre forward alone in his half of the field when the ball suddenly comes hurtling towards him.
Germany isn't alone in wanting more taxes paid. In the UK, there have been rows over how big multinational companies like Starbucks, Amazon and Google arrange their affairs so that they pay tax in lower-tax-rate jurisdictions. Legal it is; pleasing to the cash-strapped British Treasury it is not.
Five European countries - France, the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain - have agreed to compel banks to disclose information so that tax authorities know where potential taxpayers have stuck their money. It is similar to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) in the United States which has been used against US tax evaders since 2010.
Governments are under pressure to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance by the rich for two reasons. Firstly, when economies grow robustly, tax revenues rise nicely. But when economies contract, governments cut spending so every penny of extra revenue mitigates the pain.
Secondly, the bailout and nationalisation of bankrupt banks by taxpayers may have stoked up resentment so that pre-Crash, getting away with paying less tax might have seemed like a misdemeanour, now it seems like a crime - or so runs the argument.
Maybe when capitalism was sailing along smoothly, few would have blinked an eye, but now that governments are cutting spending, including on social programmes for the poor, every penny counts - including those in foreign bank accounts.
Or especially those in foreign bank accounts.
In this less sympathetic environment for those allergic to tax, the authorities in Germany have been pursuing a controversial tactic. They have been buying CDs of information from whistleblowers in Swiss banks.
Recently, the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate bought information on 10,000 accounts. It is thought it paid about four million euros ($5.2m; £3.4m) for the CD, but justified the payment by saying that the information would let it retrieve half a billion euros in unpaid taxes.
The Swiss government takes a dim view of this. It thinks this is payment to people who steal from banks in Switzerland, a payment for wrongdoing.
And it argues that a proper agreement on sharing information would have been better.
A Swiss finance ministry spokesman said: "Data CDs can yield chance finds at most. They do not clear the way for making sure everyone is taxed."
The atmosphere has changed. Uli Hoeness knows this. He may have shouted for joy at Bayern's stunning 4-0 victory over Barcelona.
But more complicated matters of tax may take the smile from his face.

Marriott raised its offer to $13.6bn (£9.2bn) after the Chinese insurance firm, Anbang stepped in last week with a $13.2bn bid.
Starwood accepted Marriott's latest offer, describing it as a "superior proposal".
Marriott owns Ritz-Carlton, Residence Inn and Marriott hotels and has 4,400 properties in 87 countries. Starwood owns 1,300 properties worldwide.
"The driving force behind this transaction is growth," said Marriott's chief executive Arne Sorenson.
Marriott's revised bid increased the cash payout for each Starwood investor.
Mr Sorenson said the increased cash consideration "improved the transaction's financial structure."
The companies expect the deal to close by the middle of the year.
Anbang's offer for $83.83 for each Starwood share, threw a spanner in a deal between Marriott and Starwood that was announced last November.

During its parade, one of Portela's floats depicted the destruction of the River Doce in 2015.
The dam was used to hold waste at an iron ore mine near the city of Mariana.
Portela is Rio's most successful samba school but it had not won the world-famous parade for 33 years.
A panel of judges gave it top marks in most categories, including costumes, rhythm and the quality of the samba song composed for this year's carnival.
Thousands of supporters began celebrating as soon as the final mark was read out at Rio's Sambadrome.
Portela scored 269.9 points to 269.8 for runners-up Mocidade.
One of Rio's most traditional samba schools, it had been eclipsed by younger rivals in the past decades, failing to win the carnival title since 1984.
"The wait is over," said Portela's president, Luis Carlos Magalhaes. "We won't need to mention that anymore."
In this year's parade, Portela focused on The Source of Life: the stories, myths and legends surrounding some of the world's best known rivers, including the Nile and the Mississippi.
It used its floats and the predominantly blue and white costumes of its 3,400 members to develop the story during the 75-minute-long parade.
"We deserved to win, more than anyone else," said Mr Magalhaes. "We worked very hard." | A Brazilian samba school that highlighted the environmental impact caused by the collapse of a dam has been crowned champions of the Rio de Janeiro carnival. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39135912"} | 324 | 34 | 0.532212 | 1.339957 | 0.0695 | 0.814815 | 10.185185 | 0.592593 |
The Garda commissioner has been asked to explain apparent contradictions between her public support for Sgt Maurice McCabe and reports that her legal team were under instructions to "attack" his character and motivation.
Sgt McCabe had claimed that senior police officers had inappropriately wiped the penalty points from the driving licences of often well-connected offenders.
He also complained about flaws and failures in criminal investigations in the Cavan-Monaghan division.
A 349-page report published last week by former High Court judge Kevin O'Higgins described Sgt McCabe as a "dedicated and committed" member of the force.
It said he acted out of genuine and legitimate concerns about Garda behaviour in the Cavan-Monaghan division and in Bailieboro Garda station in particular.
While some of his complaints were upheld in the O'Higgins report, others were said to be overstated or exaggerated and some were unfounded.
In her second statement on the report in a number of days Commissioner O'Sullivan said: "I want to make it clear that that I do not, and never have regarded Sgt McCabe as malicious."
But last week, the Irish Examiner newspaper said it had obtained documents relating to the O'Higgins' commission's work in which the barrister for senior Garda officers, including Ms O'Sullivan, agreed with the commission that their line of enquiry would be to attack Sgt McCabe's motivation and character.
Commissioner O'Sullivan has repeated in her second statement that she cannot by law discuss the proceedings before the commission, but this has been rejected by opposition politicians who say the law refers to evidence and not statements made by lawyers.
Sinn Féin and the Labour party have called on her to clarify her position on the apparent contradiction.
While the O'Higgins report was largely supportive of Sgt McCabe, it also noted that his allegations of corruption against the previous Garda commissioner, Martin Callinan, were "hurtful" and rejected them.
The report also found that the former justice minister, Alan Shatter, had handled the sergeant's complaints in an "appropriate manner" and also, effectively, cleared him of any wrong-doing.

He was awarded the prize for reaching a peace agreement with the Farc rebel group last month.
The deal was rejected a few days later by Colombian voters in a referendum.
About 260,000 people have been killed and more than six million internally displaced in Colombia.
"Last night, I met with my family and we have decided to donate those eight million Swedish krona ($925,000) to the victims," said Mr Santos.
He made the announcement in the city of Bojaya, in the north-western region of Choco, after taking part in a religious ceremony for people affected by the conflict.
The head of the Nobel commitee said on Friday the award recognised the president's "resolute efforts" to end the conflict.
"The award should also be seen as a tribute to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuses, have not given up hope of a just peace, and to all the parties who have contributed to the peace process," Kaci Kullman Five added.
Mr Santos said he dedicated the award to "all the victims of the conflict".
The award did not include the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) leader Timoleon Rodriguez, better known as Timochenko.
He also signed the accord after nearly four years of negotiations held by government and rebel delegates in the Cuban capital, Havana.

The peace deal was rejected by 50.2% of voters who went to the polls on 2 October.
The committee acknowledged the result, saying: "What the 'No' side rejected was not the desire for peace, but a specific peace agreement."
It also said that finding a balance between the need for reconciliation and ensuring justice for the victims would be a difficult challenge.
Despite the rejection by voters, Mr Santos vowed to continue with talks with the rebels.
Government negotiators have already returned to the Cuban capital Havana for further discussions with Farc leaders.
On Twitter, Farc leader Timochenko said: "I congratulate President Juan Manuel Santos, Cuba and Norway, who sponsored the process, and Venezuela and Chile, who assisted it, without them, peace would be impossible."
Critics, led by former President Alvaro Uribe, said the deal was too lenient on the rebels.

Under the agreement, special courts would have been created to try crimes committed during the conflict.
Those who confessed would have received lighter sentences and avoided serving any time in conventional prisons.
The Farc would also have been guaranteed 10 seats in the Colombian Congress in the 2018 and 2022 elections.

Federal Judge Sergio Moro said prosecutors' evidence suggested Nestor Cervero spent bribes on an apartment in Rio de Janeiro.
Cervero is the second Petrobras executive to be convicted amid an ongoing investigation.
He was fired in 2014 and arrested in January.
More than 100 people have been indicted and 50 politicians are under investigation for taking bribes.
Paulo Roberto Costa, former Petrobras director of refining and supply, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison last month. He signed a plea bargain agreement with prosecutors and will serve one year, under house arrest.
The authorities have accused former Petrobras executives and a handful of engineering firms of inflating the value of service contracts and banking the excess funds.
Cervero's lawyer, Edson Ribeiro, denied the charges at the time and did not immediately respond to a request for comment, according to the Reuters News agency.
Cervero can still appeal.
Last month Petrobras took a $2bn (£1.3bn) charge for costs related to corruption and published accounts for last year showing an overall loss of $7.2bn.

The Cabinet Office's "precedent book" shows the prince, the Queen, ministers and a handful of others get papers from cabinet and ministerial committees.
Campaign group Republic, which got the information after a three-year battle, called the prince's access "wrong".
The Cabinet Office said the Queen and her heir should be "properly briefed".
The precedent book was written in 1992, showing the arrangement has been in place for more than 20 years.
The book says the need for secrecy with the documents is so great that "special care in circulation and handling" is required, and cabinet ministers are handed their copies in person.
"The standard circulation for cabinet memoranda includes the Queen, the Prince of Wales, all members of the cabinet, any other ministers in charge of departments, the attorney general and the chief whip," it says.
"A few other senior ministers may receive copies at the prime minister's discretion... Ministers of state and junior ministers do not normally receive memoranda."
Four chapters were released to Republic after the Cabinet Office failed in its bid to avoid making it public.
Republic has written to Prime Minister David Cameron, calling on him to end the practice of sharing the documents with the prince.
"It is plainly wrong that Charles can lobby on new policy proposals even before the public are aware of the existence of such proposals," the letter says.
Republic's chief executive Graham Smith said the prince had "no legitimate need" to see the papers, and called the practice "quite extraordinary and completely unacceptable".
"Charles is essentially a minister not attending cabinet," he added.
Labour MP Paul Flynn, who has called for a parliamentary inquiry, said this made the prince the country's "best-informed lobbyist".
However, Bernard Jenkin, who chairs the cross-party public administration and constitutional affairs committee, which scrutinises the Cabinet office, said it was "outrageous" to describe Prince Charles as a lobbyist.
"This is really a debate about the Prince of Wales' conduct, not what papers he sees", he said, adding that the "vast majority" of people would agree that the heir to the throne should have access to such documents.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "It has been established practice for many years that the sovereign and the heir to the throne receive the minutes of cabinet meetings.
"It is important that the head of state and her heir are properly briefed."
Earlier this year, following another Freedom of Information Act battle, the so-called "black spider letters" sent by the prince to ministers were released.

The Afghan soldier was also killed when the US troops returned fire.
The shooting erupted as a US diplomat was leaving a meeting with the provincial governor.
"Insider" attacks on Nato troops by Afghan security forces grew frequent in the final years of Nato's combat mission, which wound down in 2014.
The attacks, also known as "green-on-blue", damaged trust between Nato forces and the Afghans who had been trained by them.
The US troops involved in the latest incident are part of Nato's Resolute Support mission, which replaced combat operations last December.
An Afghan soldier killed three US contractors in late January.
The motive for the latest killing is not known and details of the clash are sketchy.
The shooting took place just after the US diplomat had left the meeting with the governor of Nangarhar province.
"Suddenly an Afghan army soldier opened fire on the US soldiers who were present in the compound," Gen Fazel Ahmad Sherzad, a Nangarhar police official, told the Associated Press.
However, other police officials quoted by Reuters news agency said it was unclear who opened fire first.
Several Afghan and US troops are also said to have been hurt.

It said none of its staff had been hurt. | A US soldier has been killed in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, reportedly after being fired upon by an Afghan soldier in an "insider" attack. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32221541"} | 300 | 38 | 0.568458 | 1.287848 | 0.240086 | 1.233333 | 9.2 | 0.7 |
The French energy firm's board was expected to meet on Wednesday to finalise the decision.
But French paper Les Echos and environmental group Greenpeace said the decision had now been delayed reportedly due to funding difficulties.
EDF declined to comment on the reports.
In October, EDF agreed a deal under which China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) would pay a third of the cost of the £18bn project in exchange for a 33.5% stake.
Is the plan for Britain's first new nuclear plant in a generation in trouble?
What is clear is that EDF faces major financial challenges.
Its share price has halved in the past year as falling French power prices have hit earnings.
Its current nuclear build projects in Finland and at Flammenville are over-budget and delayed.
It's facing a costly refurbishment programme to extend the life of its French nuclear plants. And in Hinkley Point C, it would be committing to a project that will cost more than its current market capitalisation.
It also has to placate its unions, which fear the project could put the entire company at risk
But EDF has already ploughed £2bn into Hinkley. And with so much political capital invested by the French and British governments too, it would be astonishing if EDF was to fall at the final hurdle.
The final investment decision by EDF was expected to be a formality.
But Les Echos said the French firm was struggling to find the cash for its 66.5% stake and was now "putting pressure on the [French] state, which owns 84.5% of EDF, to come up with fresh funds".
It said a final investment decision would now be made at the earliest at EDF's annual results on 16 February.
The reports contradict recent statements from EDF chief executive Jean-Bernard Levy who said just a week ago that the "two nuclear reactors that EDF plans to build at Hinkley Point will be launched very soon".
Hinkley is due to start generating in 2025, and is expected to provide 7% of the UK's electricity once it is operational.
But the project was originally due to open in 2017, and it has come under fire for both its cost and delays to the timetable for building.
The government has also been criticised for guaranteeing a price of £92.50 per megawatt hour of electricity - more than twice the current cost - for the electricity Hinkley produces.
Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "The EDF board is clearly rattled as they delay yet again this crucial investment decision. It could well signal curtains for Hinkley.
"EDF managers as well as employee representatives on the board are deeply concerned this project is too risky and too expensive."
Meanwhile, the chief executive of Legal & General has described the project as "a £25bn waste of money".
Nigel Wilson told BBC 5 live: "The world is moving towards clean green and cheap energy."
"Solar, wind will play a much more important role. Hinkley is probably the most expensive energy we can think of right across Europe. That's really bad for society." | Britain's first new nuclear power plant in decades could be delayed amid reports an EDF board meeting to decide whether to invest in Hinkley Point Power Station has been postponed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35415187"} | 689 | 40 | 0.547077 | 1.361644 | 0.681644 | 1.65625 | 19 | 0.71875 |

The Irishwoman avenged a couple of recent defeats by Britain's Kate Avery but finished behind Kenyan Alice Aprop Nawowuna and Mimi Belete of Bahrain.
Nawowuna beat Ethiopian-born Belete by four seconds with McCormack a further four seconds back and Avery in fourth.
Aweke Ayalew of Bahrain won the men's race ahead of Uganda's Thomas Ayeko.
Ayeko won last year's men's event at the Northern Ireland meeting but was edged out by Ethiopian-born Ayalew in a sprint finish in Saturday's race with Kenyan Timothy Cheruiyot completing the podium places.
Ayalew and Ayeko both clocked 21 minutes and 25 seconds with Cheruiyot a further two seconds back as African-born athletes occupied the first five places.
Scotland's Andrew Butchart was one minute and nine seconds off the pace in sixth spot with Dublin athlete Cillian Mooney the leading Irish athlete in 16th, just ahead of City of Derry's Declan Reed in 17th.
McCormack, 31, insisted that she had enjoyed the biting cold and muddy underfoot conditions in the 5.8 kilometre event at Greenmount College.
The Irishwoman led the African contingent early on before Nawowuna and Belete edged clear on the final circuit.
"I think the Africans thought they could get around the mud but realised they couldn't," said McCormack, who won the Antrim event in 2012 and 2013.
"That's how I ended up at the front because I just went through it."
The Kilcoole athlete couldn't hang on to the lead with Nawowuna, 21, an impressive victor in 18 minutes and five seconds despite not feeling comfortable in the cold conditions.
However, McCormack had the consolation of avenging her defeat by Avery in Edinburgh last weekend while the Briton also won silver at the recent European Championships in Hyeres ahead of the fourth-placed Irishwoman.
"It would have been nice to have a bit of a kick at the end because you could see people struggling in front," added McCormack.
"But a course like that when someone gets a gap even though you can see them struggling, you're struggling yourself to get through the mud."

The woman, who cannot be named, was 14 in 1966 when she said he offered her a lift home, drove to an alleyway and "lunged" at her.
Mr Clifford, from Hersham, Surrey, faces 11 counts of indecent assault relating to seven alleged victims, aged from 14 to 19, between 1966 and 1984.
He denies all the charges against him.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court were told the pair met at a Wimpy bar in south-west London.
The woman said Mr Clifford offered her a lift home, and then drove to an alleyway near a sports field, saying he had something to show her.
When he produced a book of photographs showing him with celebrities including The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, she said she would like to meet the Walker Brothers, jurors heard.
The woman told the court: "He said 'I can arrange that, but this is what you've got to do', and he put my seat right back and then he tried to force himself upon me, basically."
"My seat, I think it went almost horizontal, that's the way it seemed, he then sort of lunged at me and put his body on me.
"He was touching me all over."
The woman said she managed to open the car door, wriggle free and run home.
She said she did not confide in her parents because they were strict and she feared they would have banned her from going out.
She went on: "I was just so happy to be in one piece. I didn't know at the time if I was going to get raped or murdered."
The woman said she told friends over the years about meeting Mr Clifford but did not go to the police until recently.
"As he became more of a household name and people would mention him or he was on the television, I'd say I had a really bad experience with him before he was really famous.
"People always said to me why didn't you go to the police?... Because he was so powerful and he virtually controls the media, what chance would I stand?
"If I were to hear it from other people then I would definitely do my bit and tell them what happened, because it was only fair. But I wouldn't have done it on my own because I wouldn't stand a chance."
Cross-examining her, Richard Horwell QC suggested the incident had never happened, and that in 1966 Mr Clifford did not have a car.
She replied: "It did happen, I can't give you the exact date that it happened but it did happen."
The woman said she was not sure of the time of year that the alleged assault occurred, and that it could have been in 1967.
She denied she was "jumping on a bandwagon", saying she had been telling people about the incident for 35 years.
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday. | A woman has told a court she thought she was going to be raped in publicist Max Clifford's car. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "26514879"} | 650 | 30 | 0.434912 | 1.13777 | -1.352732 | 1.095238 | 28.190476 | 0.809524 |
It is believed there are only 70 Amur leopards left in the wild and it is hoped the cubs at Twycross Zoo could help repopulate the natural habitat.
The birth five weeks ago was captured on camera and the pair have now ventured out of their den.
The youngsters - whose sex is not known - will stay at Twycross for the next 18 months before moving to another zoo.
Director of life sciences Dr Charlotte Macdonald, said: "Amur leopards are so precious - there are so few left in the world.
"Every birth in captivity is really important, so to have two born this year is fantastic news both for us and the global population."
The cubs are the second pair of babies born to parents Kristen and Davidoff at the zoo in recent years.

The film company, founded by the movie's director JJ Abrams, tweeted a picture of a branded clapper board with the hashtag "#dayone".
A dusting of sand on the picture appears to confirm initial scenes are being shot in Abu Dhabi.
On Wednesday, actor Oscar Isaac told BBC Radio 4's Front Row that production was due to start this month.
The 34-year-old said: "The whole process is under way. We're shooting in the studios here in London."
Isaac was one of the new cast members announced for the film in April, alongside Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.
Recently seen in Inside Llewyn Davis, the actor said his family were "very excited" by his latest role.
"My uncle and my cousin have galleries of the Star Wars toys they've collected," he told Kirsty Lang.
"So once I told them I had been cast, he nearly fainted, my uncle. He got sweaty and pale. He was very excited.
"The idea that I could be a toy for him is the craziest thing."
Little is known about Isaac's role in Star Wars: Episode VII, and the actor admitted he was under strict orders not to reveal details.
However he spoke about being cast in the movie by director JJ Abrams, saying he had been called to a meeting in Paris earlier this year.
"I'm a huge Star Wars fan but at the same time I'm defensively pessimistic, so I assumed that maybe it was a different project," he said.
Once Abrams confirmed the meeting was about Star Wars, Isaac said he "tried to play it cool - but, I mean, it was clear I was just so excited he wanted me to be a part of the whole thing."
The actor also confessed he used to dress up as characters from the outer space blockbuster franchise as a child.
"Not as a Jedi Knight," he stressed, "but I dressed up as a gonk droid a couple of times.
"I liked the tertiary characters or the ones you don't necessarily look at. I was a huge Boba Fett fan."
The film will be the first Star Wars title released by Disney, after creator George Lucas sold the rights to the franchise in 2012.
It will also see the return of the three principal characters from the original trilogy - Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford).
Earlier this year, Guatemalan-born Isaac was nominated for several awards, including a best actor Golden Globe, for starring in the Coen Brothers' folk music drama Inside Llewyn Davis.
He told Front Row the accolades led directly to his latest role, in the thriller The Two Faces of January.
"Early on, before I'd been cast in Llewyn Davies, [director Hossein Amini] had shown me the script because we'd worked together on Drive.
"At the time there was very little chance I'd be cast - but once I was cast in Llewyn Davies, that opened up a lot of doors."
Laughing, he added: "They couldn't get the money to make the movie with some weirdo named Oscar."

**SPOILER ALERT: If you are not up-to-date with Broadchurch series one, don't read on.**
Until the final episode of series one.
Gasps reverberated around the UK when it was revealed that Joe Miller, the seemingly kind and caring on-screen husband of Olivia Colman, was the Broadchurch resident who had killed Danny Latimer.
At the very end of series one, ITV confirmed the drama would return but Matthew has spent nearly two years pretending he wasn't part of any of it.
The 38-year-old told Newsbeat: "I had to deny that I was doing the second series since filming started, if not before.
"That's a good year of technically being 'unemployed', even though I wasn't.
"Only a very close-knit group knew the truth; my wife, my dad and my sisters, and that was it."
But surely isn't it that the beauty of Broadchurch?
Producers are so desperate to keep the audience guessing that they even put special measures in place during filming to stop leaks.
"The secrecy certainly helps," said Matthew. "It's the anticipation and the excitement; nobody knows what's going on or is able to spoil it for anyone else."
Nearly eight million tuned into the first episode of the new series.
By uttering the words 'not guilty' to a crime fans are sure he committed, Joe Miller fast became one of the most hated men on TV.
With so many people emotionally involved in the story, we asked Matthew if anyone has ever confused him with his on-screen character?
"I haven't had anyone throwing things or wagging their fingers at me on the street, so at the moment I'm safe," he said.
The dad-of-two says that although he has concerns that some viewers may see him as a villain in real-life because of who his character is, he was desperate to take on the role.
"From the beginning, there was a massive part of me that wanted to be the killer," he admitted.
"For most of series one I really didn't think I would be, I only found out ahead of the filming of the final episode. I thought it would shatter Olivia's character, and it did."
So far in series two, Matthew has spent much of his time stuck in a glass box in a court room, and he told us there were two things he missed, the seaside and his cast mates, particularly one.
"Olivia's brilliant," he told us. "Nobody's got a bad word to say about her, she's just very good and it makes you better.
"We all get on really well which made the second series more frustrating because I couldn't mess about, I was stuck away from them."
Before Broadchurch aired, Matthew had no idea how big it would become, but he said he did have an inkling during the first read-through with the rest of the cast.
"When I was sitting around the table for the first time and I saw all these brilliant people, I did think, 'oooh, this could be quite good,' but I had no idea of the scale until the first episode went out."
But don't even bother asking Matthew about what happens in episode two or three.
"Wouldn't you like to know..."
Ok, will there will be a third series? Will he be in it?
"Who knows?"
We reckon he has a better idea than most, but Matthew is wise to the questions, he also believes that deep down none of us actually want him to let anything slip.
He said: "People ask, 'who did it?' or 'where's it going to go?', but nobody really wants to know. It's all part of the fun of it, it's just a wry question."
And you know what? He's probably right.

Work to the District, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines will include a new signalling system, new track, longer platforms and rebuilt train depots.
It is hoped the changes will lead to more frequent trains on all four lines.
The move will also include 191 new air-conditioned walk through trains.
Once the work is complete, Circle line trains will arrive every four minutes, instead of every 10, and there will also be trains arriving every two minutes on the other three lines, TfL said.
TfL estimates capacity on the lines will be increased by 30% and said it is making the changes to cope with the predicted 1.4 million increase to London's population by 2030.
Delays on all lines should be reduced by up to a third by the end of the year, it added.
Tfl said the plans for a new signalling system include the oldest part of the network built, which was built in 1863 and "belong in a museum".
Negotiations are in the final stages with Thales, the French defence firm behind changes to the Jubilee, Northern lines and Victoria line, to make the changes, said TfL.

One in 20 white employees are on zero-hours or temporary work contracts.
The figure for ethnic minority workers is one in 13, according to the TUC report, which uses figures from the government's Labour Force Survey.
The report said the recent increase in temporary work was affecting the black community especially.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Black, Asian and ethnic minority workers are being forced into low-paid, insecure work. And it's getting worse."
She said a national strategy was needed "to confront racism in the labour market".
The number of black women on temporary contracts had risen 82% in the past five years, the TUC said.
Overall, there was a 58% rise in the number of black workers in non-permanent work.
The number of white workers in temporary work rose 8%, according to the report.
Hamja Ahsan, 36, is a second generation British-Asian with a Masters degree in art curation.
He quit his job as a gallery assistant a few days ago after being told there was no work that week.
He had been working there for two and a half years, but says his hours had been reduced to between zero and three hours a week.
"I've never had any security," he said. "My income will fluctuate month to month, week to week.
"It feels like I've been in this zone for ever. I feel very worthless."
Omar Khan, director of the race equality think tank Runnymede, said that the poorest black and Asian women were likely to be most affected.
"This research chimes with previous evidence that BME workers are more likely to be in insecure work.
"In addition to tighter regulation on insecure contracts and clamping down on discrimination, the next government should ensure that its policies - notably including the budget - reduce rather than increase income inequalities for [black and minority ethnic] BME people in general and BME women in particular," he said.
The TUC is calling for the next government to ban zero-hours contracts. | Members of the black, Asian and ethnic minority communities are a third more likely to be in insecure work than white workers, says the TUC. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40117388"} | 454 | 32 | 0.547788 | 1.482111 | 0.15913 | 3.678571 | 14.821429 | 0.892857 |
According to organisers Camelot, those coming forward said their ticket was lost, damaged or stolen.
It comes after a woman said she washed her winning ticket in a pair of jeans.
Camelot has confirmed the winning ticket was bought in Worcester, but says it will not comment on unverified claims while it investigates.
The prize money up for grabs is half of a record £66m Lotto jackpot.
The rest of the money went to a couple from Hawick who claimed their prize within days of the 9 January draw.
Commenting on the claims of lost, stolen and damaged tickets, a Camelot spokesman said: "Given the interest in the missing £33m ticket-holder, we have received hundreds of claims of this nature.
"All of these are currently being considered on a case-by-case basis, and we will follow up with all claimants directly to advise them whether their claim will be investigated further."
The spokesman also said details of the shop which sold the winning ticket had not been released, nor had any retailer been informed that they sold the ticket.
The operator had the discretion to pay prizes in respect of stolen, lost or destroyed tickets only if the player had submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the relevant draw, a spokesman said.
If the player could provide sufficient evidence, Camelot would investigate and determine "at its discretion whether the claim is valid, and is able to pay the prize 180 days after the draw".
According to shopkeeper Natu Patel, who runs Ambleside News in Warndon, Worcester, a woman went to his newsagent's with a ticket bearing the winning numbers, but the date and barcode were illegible.
The ticket had the winning numbers 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.

Various factors make it "incredibly difficult" for some inmates on Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences to find such proof, he said.
He wants new criteria for freeing IPP prisoners in England and Wales.
The Ministry of Justice said the suggestion had been "taken on board".
IPP sentences were introduced by Labour in 2005 as a way of stopping the release of dangerous prisoners.
But courts were banned from imposing any more IPP sentences in 2012 amid concerns they were being used to hold people for periods which their original offence did not warrant.
In March, 4,133 IPP prisoners continued to be detained, the majority of whom had been convicted of "violence against the person", sexual offences or robbery.
The Parole Board can approve a prisoner's release after the minimum term - the "punishment" part of their sentence - but only if it is satisfied it is not necessary to hold the inmate in the interests of public protection.
It means the prisoner has to prove they do not present a risk and can be safely managed in the community.
In March, about 80% of IPP prisoners - 3,347 - had already served their minimum term but were still locked up.
In his first interview since taking up his post in March, Prof Hardwick told the BBC that procedural delays, problems accessing offending behaviour courses and finding suitable accommodation made it "incredibly difficult" for some IPP prisoners to prove that it was safe for them to be let out.
"Some of them are stuck, festering, in prison long after the punishment part of the sentence," he said.
Ministry of Justice figures show more than 500 IPP prisoners given tariffs of less than two years were still in prison five or more years later.
"Once it gets to that point, they stop making progress and they start going backwards," said Prof Hardwick.
"So this is, I think, a blot on the justice system and I'm very keen we can do something about it."
He said Liz Truss, the new justice secretary, should consider activating Section 128 of the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.
The clause allows the justice secretary to alter the test which the Parole Board has to apply when releasing prisoners.
Both houses of Parliament would have to agree to the change, but fresh legislation would not be required.
"There are legislative options that will enable us to change the risk test so it's more about 'is there proof that they're dangerous rather than proof that they're safe?' and there are some other measures that can be taken... to try to cut into that group," Prof Hardwick said.
The former Chief Inspector of Prisons said there were three categories of IPP inmate who would benefit most: Those on very short tariffs but still in custody; prisoners held beyond the maximum sentence for the offence they had committed; and offenders who were too frail or elderly to pose a danger.
The Parole Board is also trying to cut the backlog of prisoners awaiting decisions on their release, by hiring more parole panel members and dealing with cases more efficiently.
Prof Hardwick said it was "crazy" to be paying out compensation to inmates held in custody because their cases were delayed due to a lack of resources.
In 2015-16, there were 463 damages claims lodged, five times the number the previous year, with £554,000 paid out in compensation, compared to £144,000 the year before.
"It's not a good use of taxpayers' money," Prof Hardwick said.
"It would be much better to put the money into ensuring that the system is working efficiently so that people get dealt with fairly and get out when they're supposed to and when the courts intended."
The Ministry of Justice said: "The chair of the Parole Board has made a number of recommendations to improve the parole system and reduce the backlog of IPP prisoners.
"Work is ongoing within the department to address these issues and his recommendations have been taken on board". | Prisoners held indefinitely after serving their minimum term or tariff should not have to prove it is "safe" to release them, new Parole Board chairman Nick Hardwick has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36889768"} | 872 | 40 | 0.513065 | 1.369514 | 0.733485 | 1.393939 | 23.969697 | 0.848485 |
Rear Admiral Widodo's comments came after a renewed attempt to raise the wreckage from seabed failed when it kept breaking into pieces.
Ropes around the fuselage snapped during an initial failed effort to raise it on Saturday.
The plane crashed into the Java Sea last month killing all 162 on board.
It was flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore.
Four bodies were recovered on Saturday, taking the total recovered to 69, with more thought to be inside.
A preliminary report on the crash is expected to be filed next week , although the full investigation will take months.
Rescuers have been using inflatable balloon bags capable of lifting up to 10 tonnes to raise the 13-metre long section of wreckage from the sea bed and onto a flat boat.
But on Saturday, with the wreckage seven metres (22ft) from the surface, strong currents and the sharp edges of the aircraft's emergency door cut the rope connecting a bag to the fuselage.
The sharp edges had to be padded with rubber material before another attempt could take place.
Divers entered the main section of the fuselage, which is at a depth of 30m, for the first time on Friday.
The wreckage includes parts of both of the wings of the Airbus.
It is believed the plane's cockpit may also be in the same area.
Poor weather and difficult sea conditions have hampered the salvage operation since the main section of the aircraft was found.
On Friday, Indonesian rescue agency official SB Supriyadi described the difficulties of the salvage: "The divers said it was dark inside, the seats where floating about and the wires were like a tangled yarn."
The plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were found last week.
This week Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan told MPs that radar data had shown that the jet had climbed too fast - at a speed of 6,000ft (1,828m) a minute.
This caused the plane to stall, he said. When planes stall, their engines do not cut out but the wings no longer generate lift because there is not enough air passing over them, BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott says. | The Indonesian admiral in charge of operations to recover AirAsia flight QZ8501 has told the BBC the fuselage may be too fragile to be lifted. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "30972235"} | 475 | 37 | 0.539677 | 1.419592 | 0.294415 | 0.846154 | 16.230769 | 0.692308 |

The Most Reverend Welby will remind people that Jesus too was a refugee.
His message will be broadcast on BBC One on New Year's Day at 12:55 GMT.
In it, the archbishop will also tell of a meeting he had with a boy at Marsh Academy in Kent who at the age of 14 fled his homeland in north Africa over fears for his safety.
Soldiers stormed the boy's school in Africa and tried to abduct him but he was saved by a "courageous" teacher.
"This is just one example of the many desperate journeys children are making on their own to save their lives," he will say.
He says the Marsh Academy "represents the best of what we can do in this country".
"It welcomes, it loves, it serves, it teaches and equips people and demonstrates our ability to live up to our long-established tradition of warmth and hospitality.
"It's not a rich school; many families in the area are struggling on a day-to-day basis. And yet this school and surrounding community are astonishingly generous. If they can do it, so can we all."

The Lib Dems and their Tory coalition partners disagree over whether to renew the submarine-based nuclear weapons system on a like-for-like basis.
The newspaper reports the review is to conclude that other delivery platforms would not work, or would cost more.
But it may suggest cutting submarine numbers could save billions of pounds.
The government said newspaper reports were speculative and the review would be published in due course.
A final decision on whether to build a new fleet of Vanguard submarines, which carry ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, has been pushed back until after the next election in 2015 amid disagreements within the coalition.
The existing submarines are due to be taken out of service in 2028.
The Lib Dems have long argued that the projected £20bn cost of building new submarines and ensuring that at least one is on patrol at any time - known as continuous at-sea deterrence - is too high and other options should be considered.
The Conservatives and military chiefs support Trident's renewal, believing it is the best guarantee of security for the UK.
Q&A: Trident replacement
When they entered government in 2010, the coalition partners agreed to a "value for money" review of Trident examining the cost of possible alternatives - overseen since last year by Lib Dem cabinet minister Danny Alexander.
According to the FT, the review - likely to be published before the end of July - is likely to reject alternative delivery mechanisms such as a land-based or airborne missile system.
The former would be deemed impractical, the paper said, as it would leave the UK unable to mount a meaningful response in the event of a nuclear attack while the latter would require a completely new aircraft which would be more costly.
The FT said the report would also cast doubt on the feasibility of using other submarines - such as the Astute Class due to come into service in the near future - to carry the nuclear missiles.
Conservatives have warned that this approach would mean an entirely new missile having to be designed.
But the newspaper said the report may float the idea of reducing the number of submarines from the current four to three or even cutting this back to two.
It quoted sources with knowledge of the report suggesting this could save at least £5bn in upfront design costs and £1bn in annual expenditure on crewing and maintenance per submarine.
Professor Malcolm Chalmers, research director at the Royal United Services Institute, said it was the "working assumption" in Whitehall that Trident would continue to operate off four submarines but the question of whether this could be reduced to three had always been "left open".
Any suggestion, he added, that the UK could maintain an effective deterrent with two submarines would be entirely new and would spark a debate going into the next election about whether a continuous at-sea presence was needed.
The review will not have any direct impact on the policy of the coalition government, which affirmed its commitment to Trident in its programme for government in 2010.
But it will inform debate on spending priorities going forward and on Lib Dem policy in the run-up to the next election.
A Lib Dem spokeswoman said the review had yet to be published but the party was "still looking at alternatives".
Prof Chalmers said the Lib Dems had never before spelled out in detail what the alternative should be and maintaining the current system, but with fewer submarines and at a lower cost, could be a potential way forward for them politically.
"If the leaks are correct, what it would suggest is that the Lib Dems would be getting closer to having an alternative of their own," he said. "They would have an actual policy rather than simply saying they do not agree with the current policy."
The Cabinet Office said it would not comment on speculation about what may or may not be in the report.
"No date has been set for the review but we still expect to report to the prime minister and the deputy prime minister in the first half of 2013," a spokesman said.
Labour, which backed renewal of Trident while in government, says it is committed to retaining an independent nuclear weapons system although it is prepared to look at options to do this in a way that reduces the burden to the taxpayer. | Alternatives to Trident would either be impractical or more expensive, a review instigated by the Lib Dems will say, according to The Financial Times. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "22690016"} | 920 | 38 | 0.545992 | 1.457569 | 0.318513 | 1.296296 | 31.111111 | 0.777778 |
Northern Ireland restricted the world champions to a 1-0 win at Euro 2016 as Germany missed a host of chances and keeper Michael McGovern starred.
"They never let us get near the ball," said Evans, 28, of the Paris game.
"The way they controlled the game against us, the timing of the pass, the angles they play at."
Only two nations, Portugal in 1985 and England in 2001, have recorded wins over the Germans in their 86 World Cup qualifiers.
And after Northern Ireland were given the run around in the Euro 2016 game, Evans describes Joachim Low's side as "one of the best teams we've played in a long, long time".
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It takes a lot of time for a team to understand how to play against a side like that," added the West Brom defender.
"We will have to play almost the perfect game, we will have to defend - they know they will have a lot of possession - but hope that on the break we can put the ball in the box and make more of an opportunity from them."
But with Michael O'Neill having guided Northern Ireland to a 12-match unbeaten run before their defeat by Poland at Euro 2016, Evans says the the Irish will not be daunted by the task.
"We will go there with the belief that we can get something and I think that's a big indication of how far Northern Ireland have come in recent times.
"They will know they will be in for a hard game. They dominated the play at the Euros but they raised their game and hopefully we can catch them on an off-night."
Famously, Northern Ireland achieved 1-0 home and away wins over the then West Germany in the qualifiers for the 1984 European Championships when Ian Stewart scored the winner at Windsor Park with Norman Whiteside netting in Hamburg.

In part, this is a response to the growing body of evidence from investigations in Bulgaria and Cyprus that indicate Hezbollah's role in carrying out or planning attacks.
But equally it reflects a growing frustration with the Lebanese Shia grouping following its decision to intervene in Syria's civil war on the side of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
There are growing concerns in Western European diplomatic circles that Hezbollah is playing with fire and that Syria's bloodshed could easily spill over into Lebanon. Indeed, there are early signs that this is already happening.
The British government is pushing its European partners to designate the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist entity. This comes in the wake of the organisation's role in an attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria and the recent conviction of a Hezbollah operative in Cyprus.
The Foreign Office minister in London, Alistair Burt, said that this was "the appropriate course of action, especially after we have confirmed that the military wing has been carrying out terrorist acts for a long time.
"We have proof of this," he went on, pointing to the bomb attack on an Israeli tourist bus in Burgas airport in Bulgaria in July of last year, and the more recent conviction of a Hezbollah member in Cyprus for planning to carry out what he called "terrorist acts."
Hezbollah denies involvement in the Burgas bombing.
Up to now, only Britain and the Netherlands have placed the military wing of Hezbollah on their national terrorism blacklists. Germany now seems more willing to designate Hezbollah's military arm, and this has given some impetus to the British move.
The French position has also shifted. Hezbollah's growing role in the Syrian fighting has changed the calculus in Paris.
France has up to now been cautious, fearing what pressure upon Hezbollah might do to stability in Lebanon, where the French, among others, have a significant number of peacekeeping troops.
Quite apart from the continuing debate within the European Union about lifting the ban on arms sales to rebels in Syria, the fate of peacekeepers (Unifil in southern Lebanon and the UNDOF disengagement monitors on the Golan Heights) is also a growing concern as tensions grow in these crucial border regions.
The British move to list Hezbollah's military wing comes as the image of the Lebanese organisation - long hailed in the region as one of the principal resistance forces against Israel - is coming under strain.
Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian civil war has raised concerns about its motives in Lebanon and beyond. Its troops have had a significant impact on the fighting.
US Secretary of State John Kerry noted only recently that there were thousands of Hezbollah fighters in Syria.
Hezbollah seems to have thrown in its hand with President Assad, confirming the views of many of its critics that it is playing out a wider game plan inspired by Tehran.
The Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis is under clear pressure now. The risks for all parties are great.
Hezbollah, for one, risks sacrificing the reputation it has built up in Lebanon to help prop up the failing Alawite regime in Syria. | The attitude towards Hezbollah in Europe is changing markedly. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "22649348"} | 741 | 16 | 0.468867 | 1.232535 | -0.719329 | 0.5 | 59.9 | 0.5 |
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is comedian and actor Omid Djalili.
Djalili, who is currently touring the country, is a Chelsea season-ticket holder and has been a fan since 1970 when, aged four, he watched his local club win the FA Cup.
"It was really the colour blue that did it," he told BBC Sport. "They wore a beautiful royal blue shirt and I liked their badge too.
"I saw a kid wearing their shirt and I was enchanted by it."

Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top with 10 games to go but, like many fellow Blues fans, Djalili does not think the title race is done and dusted yet.
"It is not over at all," he said. "Anything could happen. We could get a couple of injuries and a team can go down the pan very quickly.
"I remember what happened to Newcastle in 1995-96, when they were 12 points clear in January. Yes, it was at a slightly earlier stage, but anything can happen and in football nothing would surprise me."
While Antonio Conte's team chase a Premier League and FA Cup Double, Blues midfielder N'Golo Kante is expected to mop up the individual honours when the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' Association announce the winners of their Player of the Year awards.
Djalili's vote would go to one of Kante's team-mates, however.
"My player of the season is definitely Eden Hazard, for the way he has changed," he said.
"Hazard has basically tapped into his inner child like he has been told to do by Conte, and he has found his love of the game.
"When you watch him for the whole game, he wants the ball every time, he is not lazy, he tracks back, I have never seen a bigger transformation in football."
You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated.
Liverpool v Everton (12:30 BST)
Everton are sadly without Seamus Coleman after he broke his leg while playing for the Republic of Ireland, and it will be interesting to see how Ronald Koeman replaces him.
Mason Holgate can play there, and he will probably come in, but Coleman will be a big loss.
Liverpool are also without one of their key players, Adam Lallana, although the injury he sustained on international duty for England is far less serious.

I am not a fan of these early kick-offs, which don't often seem to produce much excitement, but I do think this will be an open game.
I don't think Everton will go to Anfield and just try to to defend, which is the main reason I am backing Liverpool to win.
As everyone knows, when teams do sit in against Liverpool, it normally causes Jurgen Klopp's side problems, but I don't think Koeman is the type of manager who will try it.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Omid's prediction: There are great players on both teams - you would think that Romelu Lukaku would score for Everton, and that the Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho combination would work for Liverpool - but I am going for a very drab draw. 0-0
Preview
Burnley v Tottenham
Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli both scored for Tottenham in their last game against Southampton and, with Harry Kane injured, it is important they both continue to chip in with goals.
But I think Spurs will miss Kane more at Turf Moor, and Burnley will give them a real test, as they have done to all the top teams.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Clarets have already beaten Liverpool and drawn with Chelsea at home, and were a bit unlucky to lose to Arsenal and Manchester City.
Nobody has gone to Burnley and rolled Sean Dyche's team over, and I think they will pick up another point here as they keep edging towards Premier League safety.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Omid's prediction: I am hoping for a Burnley win, and I think the Clarets will score - but Tottenham are just too good at the moment. 1-2
Preview
Chelsea v Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are on a run of three straight wins, and it looks like the Sam Allardyce effect has taken a delayed effect.
Chelsea are waiting on Eden Hazard's fitness but, even if he misses out, it is a big ask for the Eagles to extend that run of good form.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Antonio Conte's side are getting so close to the finish line of the title race now, and they can win without playing well.
They saw off Stoke in their last match without ever looking that convincing and I think they will find a way to beat Palace too
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Omid's prediction: Conte has been influenced by two of the greatest managers there have ever been - he played under Giovanni Trapattoni and Marcello Lippi. Trapattoni was the most demonstrative person you have ever seen, which is where we see Conte's gesticulations come from, while Lippi was a professor of the game.
Conte is demonstrative, with intelligence too, which is a combination you don't see very often - and his hair transplant is extraordinary too.
Media playback is not supported on this device
I like the bald look but I would like to get the name and number of the person who did that because it is the greatest. I did not even realise it was a transplant - it was only when I saw pictures of him playing for Juventus that I realised he was as bald as a coot. I don't know how he has done it, or maintained it - the only other good one is Al Pacino, who has had a very good one since the 1980s. Maybe the same person did his hair too?
As for the game, I think it is going to be very entertaining. Palace are going to come out fighting and I am expecting a strong first half from them, but I don't think they will score and Chelsea will run out easy winners. 2-0
Preview
Hull City v West Ham
West Ham seem to have slipped back into some bad habits from the start of the season.
They are on a five-game winless run, including three straight defeats, and of course when that happens all the stories about the manager's future start coming out.
Hull were well beaten by Everton in their last match but you know what? I think they will edge this one.
I am not just saying that, either - their home form under Marco Silva is actually pretty good - they are unbeaten in six games under him in all competitions at the KCOM Stadium, and won five of them.
So, it has taken me until the start of April, but I have finally tipped the Tigers to win a game.
Now they need to go out and actually pick up the three points as well, because they badly need them in their relegation fight.
Lawro's prediction: 1-0
Omid's prediction: My heart says a Hull win but I am going for a draw. 1-1
Preview
Leicester City v Stoke City
Leicester cannot stop winning under Craig Shakespeare - they have now won three on the bounce in the Premier League, as well as making Champions League progress.
What's behind it? Well, Shakespeare has not changed much since his side beat Liverpool in his first game in charge at the end of February.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It is working, because his players look lively again - Jamie Vardy was just like his old self when he was on international duty with England.
I fancy the Foxes to win this one too. Stoke have had some mixed results of late, and although they won't roll over I don't see them stopping Leicester's momentum.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Omid's prediction: 1-1
Preview
Man Utd v West Brom
I am at Old Trafford on Saturday for BBC Radio 5 live and it will be interesting to see how Manchester United line up.
United are missing Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Paul Pogba through injury and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still suspended, but Jose Mourinho has a big enough squad to cope.
West Brom will make it very difficult for them, as per usual, but I still think United have got enough quality to create chances and, if they take them, they will win.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Omid's prediction: I think the stick from the Chelsea fans for Jose Mourinho is greatly, greatly misunderstood. When we beat United 4-0 in October, people were singing his name with great warmth to say 'look, we still love you'. Mourinho told Conte not to rile the crowd because it was humiliating, but I was there and he took it the wrong way.
Although I like Mourinho, United are playing some drab football. West Brom did not surprise anyone by beating Arsenal in their last game, but I think they might surprise a few people on Saturday. 1-3
Preview
Watford v Sunderland
Watford have only taken one point from their past four games and are the team looking the most likely to slide into relegation trouble.
I think the Hornets will stop their slump at the weekend, however, unless Sunderland manage a massive improvement on their recent performances.
The Black Cats have been starting games fairly strongly recently but, if they don't score, they tend to just fade away.
The reality of the situation now for David Moyes is that his side need at least three wins - and quickly - just to get some parity with the teams sitting above the relegation zone.
But Moyes is not a magician who can just conjure that up. It is hard to see where their next victory will come from, and the games are running out.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Omid's prediction: I think Troy Deeney will score for Watford but I would back Jermain Defoe to get two for Sunderland - he will show everyone what he can do. 1-2
Preview
Southampton v Bournemouth (17:30 BST)
The two south coast sides are level on points at the moment, in 10th and 11th, although Southampton have two games in hand on their neighbours.
Bournemouth will be happy with that return because they look safe now, while Saints are probably disappointed not to be higher up the table.
Southampton turned Bournemouth over when they met earlier in the season but I don't think they will repeat that at St Mary's.
The Cherries were slipping down the table until they stopped the rot with wins in their past two games, and they now know they will be fine.
Local pride is at stake here, just as it is on Merseyside earlier on Saturday, and I can see Bournemouth putting up a decent fight and leaving with a point.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Omid's prediction: 4-3
Preview
Swansea City v Middlesbrough (13:30 BST)
Swansea will look at this as a game they need to win for several reasons, one of which is they will go eight points above Middlesbrough if they do.
The Welsh side need to get back on track after back-to-back defeats that have seen them slip back down the table towards the relegation zone.
Middlesbrough, who have gone 11 league games without a win, remain in much deeper trouble and still badly need to increase their goal threat.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Omid's prediction: I am only basing these predictions on footballing reasons, and the fact I am going to Swansea on tour should have no bearing on this matter. But think Swansea are going to spank Boro. 3-0
Arsenal v Man City (16:00 BST)
The whole Arsenal saga is becoming a bit laughable to be honest with you.
It is the same thing every week - manager Arsene Wenger is asked if he is staying, and if Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are staying.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Nobody seems to know what is happening and the club seems to be a little bit rudderless at the moment.
It is really unusual that Arsenal, who are normally so well run, have allowed things to reach this stage.
The uncertainty has affected results too and, after four defeats in their past five league games, the Gunners have ground to make up in the race for the top four.
But Manchester City have also dropped a few points recently, with two successive draws. I think they will make it three in a row at Emirates Stadium.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Omid's prediction: We are due some kind of Arsenal fightback. I think they will rally, but I can only see a City win. 1-3
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy)
Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week 28, but only five games played so far) or 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)

Planning Minister Romero Juca was caught on tape allegedly conspiring to obstruct the country's biggest-ever corruption investigation.
In the tapes, leaked by a newspaper, he appears to talk of stopping the probe at oil giant Petrobras by impeaching suspended President Dilma Rousseff.
Mr Juca says his comments have been taken out of context.
Dilma Rousseff said the tapes prove that the impeachment process is a "political coup" designed to protect senior figures implicated in the Petrobras scandal.
She is accused of massaging budget figures ahead of her re-election in 2014, and is due to be tried in the senate in the coming months.
In the audio transcript, leaked by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper on Monday, Mr Juca appears to be saying the impeachment was necessary to "staunch the bleeding" and create a "political pact" needed to "stop everything and limit things."
Folha says the recording was made by the man Mr Juca was talking to, Sergio Machado.
Mr Machado is a former senator who until recently headed Transpetro, Brazil's largest oil and gas transport company.
He is under investigation over his alleged involvement in the Petrobras scandal.
The newspaper alleges he recorded the conversations with a view to negotiating a plea bargain, wanting to exchange information implicating other suspects for a lower sentence.
Mr Machado himself has not commented.
For many analysts, the context of the conversation appears to be Brazil's political crisis, and he seems to be talking about preventing further investigations into Petrobras.
Read: 'First scandal' - Brazilian press reacts to leaked tape
In comments immediately taken up by Ms Rousseff's supporters as evidence for her claim of a coup, Mr Juca also said:"I am talking to the generals, the military commanders. They are fine with this, they say they will guarantee it."
In a news conference, Mr Juca did not deny the authenticity of the recording but said his quotes had been misinterpreted and taken out of context.
He said it was public knowledge he was in favour of the impeachment and that he had been referring to the Brazilian economy, not the Petrobras investigation, which he backed.
Dozens of top-ranking politicians and business executives have been charged or already convicted for participation in the Petrobras bribery and embezzlement scheme.
Mr Juca himself said :"There is nothing wrong in being investigated - there is something wrong in being charged."
"I have never done anything to complicate the investigation."
The BBC's Julia Carneiro in Brasilia says the recording reinforces scepticism in the country about President Temer's assurances that he would not interfere with the investigations.
Mr Juca is one of the main architects of the impeachment proceedings against Ms Rousseff.
He is also the vice-president of Mr Temer's PMDB party. Three other PMDB ministers in the new government, which took over earlier this month, are also under investigation in the Petrobras case. | A close ally of Brazil's acting President Michel Temer is stepping aside in a new political scandal. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36365781"} | 714 | 25 | 0.376494 | 0.941281 | -0.991971 | 1 | 30 | 0.684211 |
Emergency services were called to the Tuxedo Royale, which is moored on the River Tees at Middlesbrough, at about 19:00 BST on Wednesday.
The boat had been in the town since 2009 when its owners went into administration.
For years it attracted scores of clubbers when it was moored 40 miles (65km) north on the River Tyne at Gateshead.
In March, Middlesbrough Council said the boat was an "eyesore" and announced plans to remove it.
Previous efforts to restore it have all fallen through.
Lisa Turner, director of the Tuxedo Royale Restoration project, which has been fighting to save the vessel from being scrapped, said: "We're heartbroken. It's absolutely devastating.
"We were just wanting to restore her to the way she was when it was known as the TSS Dover.
"She wasn't just a floating nightclub, even though that's how many people see her.
"She still had some original features in areas such as the wheelhouse and officers' quarters."

The DNA blood test aims to spot the one in 500 people in the UK who have familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), an inherited condition that greatly increases a person's heart attack risk.
Left undiagnosed, up to half of people with FH will develop heart disease before they are 60.
Early treatment can bring risk down to a normal level.
People with FH inherit a gene that causes high levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in the blood.
This can lead to hardening of the arteries and an increased risk of heart disease if left untreated.
A DNA test can check for the presence of the faulty gene.
When people are diagnosed, their family should also be offered testing.
If one person is found with FH, on average half their brothers and sisters and half their children will also have the faulty gene and be at high risk of early heart disease.
The British Heart Foundation is funding £1m to pay for nurses so that testing can be extended to eight NHS trusts across England and Scotland, after a successful pilot scheme in Wales.
They are:
Some parts of the UK, such as the East of England, will not have access to nearby testing services, however.
Prof Steve Humphries, of the British Heart Foundaton, said: "With an estimated one in 200 families carrying an FH-causing faulty gene in the UK, the introduction of cascade testing represents a huge opportunity to identify and treat people before they suffer from potentially life-threatening heart problems."
Heart UK, The Cholesterol Charity, urged NHS England to launch a national FH testing service. | A test for a preventable form of heart disease is being rolled out in the UK. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "27586009"} | 350 | 21 | 0.563192 | 1.354084 | -0.565046 | 1.411765 | 18.647059 | 0.705882 |

Despite already being unable to qualify, Wales started strongly with chances for Jess Fishlock and Natasha Harding in the first half.
The visitors improved after the interval but Wales' well-earned point sees them finish third in Group 8.
Austria's second-placed finish secures their place for next summer's tournament in the Netherlands.
Wales will now turn their attention to the 2019 World Cup qualifying campaign, and manager Jayne Ludlow will have been encouraged by large parts of her side's performance against Austria.
Fishlock had a free-kick saved by Manuela Zinsberger midway through the first half, while Natasha Harding's first-time effort fizzed wide.
Seattle Reign midfielder Fishlock threatened again after the interval with a powerful long-range shot, but both teams struggled to create genuine scoring opportunities as the match wore on. | Wales Women ended their Euro 2017 qualifying campaign with a creditable draw against Austria in Newport. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37365353"} | 201 | 20 | 0.54439 | 1.219921 | -0.233073 | 0.941176 | 9.882353 | 0.588235 |
Organisers believe the events will give people a chance to talk about death, dying and bereavement.
Professor David Clark, who is behind the plans, said it is an opportunity for people who feel unable to talk about these issues with family and friends.
He will lead a new team focussing on end of life studies in Dumfries.
It will be part of the University of Glasgow's School of Interdisciplinary Studies, at the Crichton.
Professor Clark said: "We'll be organising a number of what are called 'death cafes' which is where we take over a nice cafe for a couple of hours in the evening when it wouldn't normally be open.
"People come along and have a coffee and a piece of cake and sit down with others to talk about issues to do with death and dying and bereavement.
"Now this sounds very odd but the whole death cafe movement has started to grow in this country and elsewhere.
"There's evidence that people would like an opportunity to come and talk about some of these issues. Perhaps issues that it is rather difficult to talk to their nearest and dearest about."
He added: "The project also hopes to contribute to work on the development of palliative and end of life care services in Dumfries and Galloway, so there will also be benefits brought to the area through the work we are doing."
The project is being supported by a Wellcome Trust award worth up to £200,000. | People in Dumfries and Galloway will have a chance to discuss their own mortality at a series of "death cafes". | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "31769507"} | 323 | 33 | 0.646454 | 1.646319 | -0.373136 | 1.608696 | 12.434783 | 0.826087 |
"Since that famous telephone call you made, you have changed the course of Nigeria's political history," Muhammadu Buhari said.
He was referring to the moment President Jonathan conceded victory and put paid to the daunting prospect of a disputed and probably violent aftermath to the election.
It was the first time ever in Nigeria's history that an opposition politician had won an election and both men were ready for the historic transition.
Many Nigerians have huge expectations of their next head of state, but one man who has worked for three different presidents including the former military ruler Sani Abacha says Muhammadu Buhari needs to be aware that it is easy to get cut off from reality once ensconced in "The Villa".
"As cocooned as Abacha was, I remember he was very fond of talking to the gardener. He would ask him 'Danzaria, what is happening in town?'" former minister Dr Aliyu Modibbo Umar told the BBC.
"'Today there are a lot of queues at the fuel stations', Danzaria would say or 'We have not been paid our salary'," said Dr Modibbo recalling the early 1990s when he was a special advisor in the presidency.
"If you are taciturn like some of the heads of state it is very easy to be in a cocoon and to only listen to a few people," Dr Modibbo said, adding that another President, Olusegun Obasanjo, was one of the few former heads of state to have kept his finger on the pulse of the country.
He put this down to his exuberant and outgoing nature.
As well as working as a minister under President Obasanjo, Dr Modibbo was also in Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's government. He believes that like Mr Yar'Adua, Goodluck Jonathan had also allowed himself to become isolated with just a few officials around him.
"How could you come out and not believe the Chibok girls had been kidnapped if you were not cocooned?" he said, referring to the fact that the president and his ministers were at first reluctant to admit that more than 200 schoolgirls had been seized by jihadists in April 2014. The 219 girls are still missing.
Some analysts suggest Goodluck Jonathan may be slightly relieved to be handing over, given the challenges facing the country.
The fact that Muhammadu Buhari has been head of state before may alert him to some of the dangers he is likely to face but he will be in no doubt as to how difficult it will be to deliver the changes so many Nigerians are craving.
Even on his way to the inauguration he is likely to see the fuel queues snaking for kilometres across Abuja - the latest sign that oil production and fuel importation are in need of a major overhaul.
As well as tackling jihadist extremism and helping create jobs, fighting corruption is the loudest call on the streets.
But will the new administration go after corrupt individuals in the outgoing government? This is a key factor which could affect Nigeria's stability after the handover.
At a newspaper stand in Abuja the headlines have prompted some fierce debate with arguments over whether all former governments should be investigated, or just Mr Jonathan's, or none at all.
"Jonathan urges Buhari not to be selective with probes," says This Day newspaper.
"Don't probe me alone - Jonathan tells Buhari," is the front page of the Daily Trust.
"It is good if he investigates the previous government because any money that he recovers from them he can use on the infrastructure like roads, electricity and so on," says one reader, James Isaac, as he scans the headlines.
But others are not so sure.
"If we say he should start investigating all the previous leaders, his whole tenure will finish before he settles down to work on Nigeria's issues," says another man joining the debate.
Muhammadu Buhari profile
Others like newspaper buyer Engineer Paul argue that the corruption of today did not start from President Jonathan's time in office.
"Every past democratic government has done something terrible to the citizens of Nigeria," he said.
"They have managed this country as if it is their family business," said Mr Paul, who feels all former governments should be made to account.
He also argues that Mr Buhari came to power with help from some corrupt politicians and that could have consequences.
"If a thief should crown you he will still steal the crown from your head," he reflects, adding that the new president may be in for a rough ride if he falls out with some of his allies in the coalition.
His to-do list may be long and daunting but the way Muhammadu Buhari stays in touch with reality outside State House and the way he handles the politicians who are supposedly close to him are two vital tests he faces. | They may not have been slapping each other's backs and smiling ear-to-ear but as Goodluck Jonathan welcomed the man who defeated him in the election, he did give Muhammadu Buhari a sneak preview of the presidential villa and presented him with a box containing the outgoing president's handover notes. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32924530"} | 1,102 | 74 | 0.384091 | 1.164057 | 0.424947 | 0.947368 | 16.54386 | 0.701754 |

Could Clive and Jane Green live together without a cross word in the cramped cabin of a 35ft sailing yacht?
Now 16 years after setting off for a quiet cruise to Spain, the couple have returned to Pembrokeshire - covering 51,000 nautical miles as they criss-crossed the globe.
In that time they have sailed pirate-infested seas, watched volcanoes billow, and studied Komodo dragons. All while learning how to become accomplished global seafarers on their boat, the Jane G.
Mrs Green said: "We have been very lucky to see our planet in such an amazing way - we didn't ever plan to sail around the world - it just happened.
"We would sail to a place and then through word-of-mouth from other sailors hear about somewhere else to go to.
"This has been our life for the last 16 year- it's been an amazing experience."
The adventurers had originally left Neyland for a trial week in Spain in July 1998. And their boat just kept taking them from one port and harbour to another.
They rented out their home in Abergavenny to finance part of the trip, as it became clear they were going to circumnavigate the globe.
They lived on £130 a week, bartering their few belongings for food and other supplies - including bargaining with one of Jane's bras on an island off Fiji.
Along they way, they had encounters with turtles, stingrays and, on the most recent home leg, a giant sei whale, which was bigger than their yacht.
They saw orangutans in Borneo, swam with seals, and watched sparks shooting from a volcano in Fiji.
Initially, until their company pensions kicked in, the Greens could not afford to splash out on swanky restaurant meals and had to rely on their own skills to fix problems with the boat they spent £20,000 kitting out.
They also relied on help from the sailing community as they made their way round the world.
Mr Green explained: "It wasn't a holiday, we were on a strict budget so that took some getting used to.
"If we had a problem with the boat we had to fix it ourselves - Jane is just as capable as me, there's nothing on this boat she can't do."
In all they visited 51 countries, stopping off for three-and-a-half years in Australia and New Zealand.
They survived up to 23 days at sea by desalinating seawater, wrapping potatoes individually in newspaper, keeping cheese in cooking oil and packing butter in salt.
Their biggest scare was being followed by a boat in waters inhabited by Somali pirates.
But it turned out to be an Eritrean fishing boat seeking help for crewman who had badly gashed his leg.
"It wasn't very brave of me but I watched as Jane hopped onto their boat to clean and dress the wound before we waved them back on their way."
The couple said, after voyaging the world, they believed the Americans are the most helpful and the Malaysians the most honourable.
"We really have gone full circle - all they way around the world at an average speed of 4.5mph," said Mr Green.
They have promised to spend a few months getting to know family and friends again but are already planning their next adventure - navigating the canals of Europe.
And no - in all that time - there was never a single row in the tiny cabin that was their home. | It was supposed to be a week away just to test the water. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "28775102"} | 788 | 16 | 0.191175 | 0.569141 | -1.725194 | 1.142857 | 48.571429 | 0.714286 |
Woods, who is now world 111, has been working on his game since carding a career-worst score of 82 at the Phoenix Open, before injury saw him withdraw from the Farmers Insurance Open.
"I felt like I had to get my game into a spot where I could compete to win a golf tournament," said the 39-year-old.
"And it's finally there."
Woods has not won a major since the 2008 US Open, and the last of his four Masters wins was a decade ago, with the Californian only confirming on Friday that he would compete at Augusta.
He impressed in his practice round on Monday, showing no signs of the chipping "yips" which blighted his performance in Phoenix. Woods completed the front nine at Augusta alongside long-time friend Mark O'Meara, before playing the 10th and 18th alone.
"I felt good. It was nice to get out here," he added. "Chipping is fine. I wanted to test out some wedges out here. That was why I was chipping a little bit more. It came down to a couple of different bounce settings because it's different from Florida. We figured the right one out."
Europe Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke says "nobody knows" how the American will perform.
He said: "What Tiger is going to turn up this week? That's one of the conundrums. He could be brilliant, but he might not be."
German Martin Kaymer, a two-time major winner, hopes Woods can "compete as well as he can".
The 30-year-old said: "We all know when he's around, somehow it does make us play better."
Meanwhile, current world number one Rory McIlroy says he has learned from Woods, whom he describes as the "best player I have ever seen".
"To think not so long ago I was that little boy watching him on television," said the 25-year-old Northern Ireland player, who has won four majors.
"I'm very lucky to have been able to get close to him and learn some stuff."
McIlroy added that the things he has taken from watching Woods - a four-time champion at Augusta - will help him achieve a career slam, having already won the Open, US Open and US PGA. | Former number one Tiger Woods believes he is in the right shape to win a 15th major as he declared himself ready for the Masters, which begins on Thursday. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32198931"} | 526 | 37 | 0.481726 | 1.052548 | 0.003688 | 1.064516 | 15.16129 | 0.677419 |
West Brom midfielder McClean used to play for Derry and was a friend of McBride, who died on Sunday aged 27.
McClean is to be excused from training with Martin O'Neill's squad to attend McBride's funeral in Derry on Thursday.
The Republic, who lead Group D in World Cup qualifying, face Wales at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Friday evening.
McClean is expected to play some part in the match, despite not starting regularly at club level.
Central defender Richard Keogh, who usually wears number five, is understood to have agreed to McClean's request to wear the shirt.
Republic assistant manager Roy Keane said he was not concerned about McClean being ready for the important qualifier.
"James McClean not having played regularly does not keep me awake at night," said Keane.
"The assurance I get is what he does for Ireland, whether he is having a good or bad time at club level.
"I have to say, that goes for a lot of our players."
