Sheffield Forgemasters said the "classified" deal provided "a boost for our Brightside Lane operations".
It said the first orders would be completed this year, with another batch expected to finish in 2017.
In January the firm announced it was cutting up to 100 jobs because of an international collapse in steel prices.
It had previously said slowing growth in the global economy and reduced activity in the traditional oil and gas sector had hit the firm.
Details of the contracts have not been disclosed but the company said it would be building parts for a new fleet of water crafts to replace the US Navy's Ohio class of submarines.
Chief executive Dr Graham Honeyman said: "These orders provide a boost for our Brightside Lane operations as we work towards our business turnaround plan.
"Work has already started on these orders and the first parts will complete in 2016 with another tranche of components anticipated to follow in 2017, providing work for our melt shop, foundry and machine shops.
"These are complex components and require detailed modelling and manufacturing to highly specific tolerances."
The series of contracts had been approved by the UK government, the company added. | A Sheffield steel company has won contracts worth more than $30 million to manufacture components for the US Navy's fleet of submarines. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37024054"} | 230 | 27 | 0.629606 | 1.400387 | 0.060153 | 1.32 | 9.08 | 0.68 |
Teams from Northern Ireland and Wales featured in this season's competition.
And Welsh side The New Saints will play St Mirren in Sunday's semi-final at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
Sligo and Bray have been chosen after finishing highest of those Premier League sides not playing in European competition in season 2017-18.
Rovers were fifth and Wanderers sixth in 2016.
"Following discussions with the Scottish FA, both Bray Wanderers and Sligo Rovers will be entered into the Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup for next season," the league confirmed on their official website.
The Challenge Cup features sides from the Scottish Championship and Leagues One and Two as well as teams from the Highland and Lowland Leagues.
Another new feature for 2016-17 was the inclusion of colt teams - under-20s sides - from Scottish Premiership clubs.
Queen of the South and Dundee United contest the first semi-final on Saturday before TNS face the Buddies the following day.

A panel heard Keith John Wright had a relationship with a year 11 student at Testbourne Community School, Whitchurch between 2000 and 2001.
Mr Wright, from Whitchurch, Hampshire, was also found to have taken another pupil to a pub to meet with his friend.
The 50-year-old, who denied all allegations, has been banned from teaching indefinitely.
Mr Wright was acquitted of indecent assault charges following a trial at Winchester Crown Court in April 2014.
The professional hearing, carried out by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), found him guilty of sexually motivated behaviour with both pupils.
It heard how the relationship with a girl referred to as Pupil A, was not reported to police until March 2013 - thirteen years after it was said to have taken place.
The panel concluded the Pupil A's academic progress and fulfilment had been prejudiced by Mr Wright's conduct and that it was the girl's belief that, having been distracted by him during her GCSE year, she failed to meet her potential.
The panel found that Mr Wright's behaviour in conducting a sexual relationship with Pupil A was "wholly incompatible with being a teacher".
The prohibition order prevents him from teaching in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England indefinitely.
He can not apply for the order to be lifted. | A science teacher has been banned from the profession for life after having a sexual relationship with a student. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36214983"} | 301 | 23 | 0.522018 | 1.24163 | -0.85234 | 2.05 | 13.45 | 0.85 |
Ali Zeidan met British PM David Cameron earlier and said weapons left after the collapse of the Gaddafi regime in 2011 were an "international" problem.
On Monday the UN was told a "worrying" amount of weapons were leaving Libya.
Mr Cameron said the country faced "huge challenges" and Britain was determined to help.
At the meeting in Downing Street on Tuesday, Mr Zeidan said he wanted to co-operate with Britain, "especially in the field of removing weapons from Libya".
He said: "It is now an international matter and we do need assistance in order to perform this task because we are now facing a battle with international terrorism that extends from Afghanistan to Mali."
Mr Cameron told Mr Zeidan: "We recognise the huge challenges you face in terms of security and governance, putting in place the capacity that Libya needs for a good and strong government.
"We are doing everything we can to help."
Specific details of the proposed help have not yet emerged.
Speaking before the meeting, Mr Cameron said talks would include "legacy issues" such as an ongoing investigation into the murder of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984 and the north African country's supply of arms to the IRA.
The UN Security Council heard on Monday from its committee on Libyan sanctions, which said more arms and ammunition were being smuggled out of Libya.
The committee said there was "an increasing number of reported cases of trafficking in such materiel to Syria".
Weapons from Libya were used by Islamist militants who laid siege to a BP gas plant in Algeria in January, killing at least 40 foreign workers including six Britons.
Tarek Mitri, UN envoy to Libya, said elections after the fall of Gaddafi "raised more expectations than what the political institutions and forces have been capable of meeting".
Security problems, political disagreements and disruption to oil exports had contributed to public scepticism and even "rejection" of the process, he said.
He added: "But this should not be mistaken for a loss of faith in national unity, democracy and the rule of law.
"Their commitment to the principles for which they fought their revolution remains deep." | Libya's prime minister has appealed for British help to remove weapons from the country amid fears of increased arms smuggling to Syria. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "24129896"} | 491 | 32 | 0.520372 | 1.269595 | 0.471753 | 0.875 | 18.166667 | 0.625 |
Cultural and sporting events, including a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, marked the occasion in the city.
Gavrilo Princip, who shot the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, continues to be a divisive figure in Bosnia.
The shots fired by the Bosnian Serb on 28 June 1914 sucked Europe's great powers into four years of warfare.
Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslim Bosniaks are still divided over the role Princip played in bringing tensions to a head in Europe in 1914, with counter-commemorations organised by Bosnian Serbs.
In Austria, Franz Ferdinand's great-granddaughter and family held events at the family castle at Artstetten, near Vienna, where he is buried.
Countdown to WW1
The World War One Centenary
Leaders of Serbia and some Bosnian Serbs boycotted the official events, which they said were designed to incriminate Serbs.
On Friday, Serbs in eastern Sarajevo unveiled a statue of Princip, seen by them as a national hero who ended years of occupation of the Balkans by the Austro-Hungarian empire.
In the eastern town of Visegrad, actors re-enacted the murder of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, and the Belgrade Philharmonic played music by Vivaldi.
The commemorations in central Sarajevo took on a completely different tone to those in the east of the city, says the BBC's Guy De Launey.
The Vienna Philharmonic played a selection harking back to Hapsburg days, including Haydn's Emperor Quartet, he added.
The concert was held at the newly-restored national library, which was destroyed during the 1992 siege of the city by Bosnian Serb forces in the Bosnian War.
Austrian President Heinz Fischer attended the concert, which was the centrepiece of official events marking the anniversary.
Commemorations closed with an open-air musical memorial event in Sarajevo.
Twenty-eight European Union leaders gathered on Thursday to mark 100 years since the beginning of World War One at Ypres in Belgium.

Gavrilo Princip: Remembering an assassin
Meanwhile, the UN cultural organisation Unesco asked all vessels at sea to fly their flags at half-mast on Saturday to mark the assassination anniversary.
The organisation is trying to highlight its convention on underwater cultural heritage, designed to increase safeguards for thousands of sunken ships vulnerable to deliberate destruction and looting.
The agreement only applies to century-old wrecks so over the next four years, thousands of British, German and other ships lost in World War One will be added to the list. | Bosnia has commemorated 100 years since the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, the act that triggered World War One. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "28062876"} | 616 | 37 | 0.484903 | 1.237426 | 0.145418 | 1.791667 | 20.5 | 0.791667 |
Carrick Primary School in Lurgan shared footage of the break-in on its Facebook page to "take control of our own situation" and appeal for information.
Principal Alison Lindsay said: "By posting it on Facebook we could actually let people see how shocking the footage is."
Doors and windows were damaged and a tablet computer was stolen.
Ms Lindsay said they believe that the robber has prior knowledge of the school.
"The lights in that classroom are in an unusual place and they have put the lights on," she said.
The video footage shows a man running through the school grounds, kicking down a door and looking through drawers.
The school was surprised by the public's reaction to the video posted on the Facebook page.
"We're just astounded at how the footage has taken off and really the support from the parents has been overwhelming, in seeing if we needed help with anything," Ms Lindsay said.
"Even from the community, people that aren't necessarily connected to the school have been willing to try to lend a hand, to help get the school up and open."
The school opened its doors for Monday's classes after a clean up by staff on Sunday.
We actually feel as staff, violated ... that somebody thought so little of our school that they would do this," the principal said.
"But on the other hand the positives are that everybody has pulled together as a team - everybody has been very determined and even the children this morning are very positive."
Teachers have spoken to the children about the break in, emphasising that 'nobody was hurt.'
Constable Smith from Lurgan Police said: "We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed any activity at the school around these times or anyone who has information which may assist our investigation." | CCTV footage of a break-in at a school in County Armagh on Saturday evening has been viewed over 37,000 times. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34700456"} | 381 | 29 | 0.499617 | 1.25532 | -0.165458 | 1.173913 | 15.782609 | 0.652174 |
The 51-year-old man, who is thought to be from the Aberdeen area, was on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete when he fell.
The ridge is often used by experienced walkers as a more challenging way of reaching the summit of Ben Nevis.
The alarm was raised by his two companions on Friday morning. His body was recovered by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team.
The man was airlifted to hospital in Fort William, where he has pronounced dead.
Mountain rescue team leader John Stevenson said conditions in the area were good at the time, and the walkers had been well-equipped for the mountains.
The man was the second to have died in the area this week.
The body of 60-year-old Ian Bell, from Hertfordshire, was found by the mountain rescue team on Carn Mor Dearg on Tuesday. He had been reported missing the previous day.
Earlier this week, the Lochaber team said it had been dealing with an "exceptional amount" of call-outs in recent months. | A hillwalker has died after falling between 400ft and 600ft (120m-180m) from a ridge adjacent to Ben Nevis. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33833793"} | 224 | 34 | 0.586555 | 1.320843 | -0.639168 | 0.708333 | 8.416667 | 0.458333 |
The book had lain undisturbed in a library in Saint-Omer, near Calais in northern France, for 200 years.
It was discovered by librarians planning an exhibition on the historic links between the region and England.
"The work has several pages missing, including the title page," librarian Remy Cordonnier told the press.
The loss of the first page and introductory material may have led to the book being catalogued as an unexceptional old edition, he added.
The Folio collects 36 of Shakespeare's 38 known plays for the first time, and was originally printed in 1623, seven years after the playwright's death.
Edited by his friends and fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell, it is credited with being the reason his literary legacy survived. It is the only source for 18 of his plays, including Macbeth.
It is thought that 800 copies were produced, of which 233 are believed to still exist.
New discoveries are made roughly once a decade, and they are scrutinised by scholars for minor variations (each copy is different) and what they might reveal about Shakespeare's intentions.
They rarely change hands but one of the last Folios to be sold at auction, in 2006, fetched £2.8m (£3.6m adjusted for inflation).
The copy discovered in Saint-Omer is one of only two known to reside in France.
Mr Cordonnier, who runs the library's rare books collection, said he had not initially realised the significance of his find.
"I didn't instantly recognise it as a book of value," he said. "It had been heavily used and was damaged. It had seen better days.
"[But] It occurred to me that it could be an unidentified First Folio, with historic importance and great intellectual value."
The librarian contacted one of the world's foremost authorities on Shakespeare, Professor Eric Rasmussen of the University of Nevada, who happened to be in London working at the British Library.
"He was very interested by the elements I had sent him by mail and said he would come over and take a look," said Mr Cordonnier.
Prof Rasmussen took the Eurostar to France last Saturday and authenticated the Folio within five minutes.
"This is huge," he told the New York Times. "First folios don't turn up very often, and when they do, it's usually a really chewed up, uninteresting copy. But this one is magnificent."
"It was very emotional to realise we had a copy of one of the most famous books in the world," said Mr Cordonnier. "I was already imagining the reaction it would cause."
The Folio contains several handwritten notes, which may illuminate how the plays were performed in Shakespeare's time.
In one scene from Henry IV, the word "hostess" is changed to "host" and "wench" to "fellow" - possibly reflecting an early performance where a female character was turned into a male.
The library says it has no plans to sell the book but intends to display it as the centrepiece of the forthcoming exhibition of its rare books by English authors.
However, the Folio is not the rarest book the Saint-Omer library owns. It also has a Gutenberg Bible, of which fewer than 50 are known to survive. | A rare and valuable Shakespeare First Folio, regarded as the most important book in English literature, has been discovered in a small French town. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "30206476"} | 740 | 32 | 0.464724 | 1.314647 | 0.086945 | 1.111111 | 24.259259 | 0.740741 |
Alan McBain, 60, died and his 58-year-old wife was badly injured in the incident close to Dalmeny on Monday.
They were both on an unclassified road between the B800 and Standingstane Road when they were hit by a blue Mini.
Police Scotland said Mrs McBain remained in a serious condition in hospital, and appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Kenya's The Star and South Africa's The Citizen said they regretted any offence caused to Muslims.
Kenya's media regulator has summoned The Star's owner after accusing it of breaching decency. It did not single out the cartoon.
In Senegal, the government has banned Charlie Hebdo's distribution.
A second Kenyan newspaper, Business Daily, has also published the French satirical magazine's cover.
In its Thursday morning edition, the Star said many Muslim readers had complained over a "small reproduction" of Charlie Hebdo's cover on Wednesday.
Apologising, the paper, Kenya's third biggest, said it "sincerely regrets any offence and pain caused by the picture".
The government-appointed Media Council of Kenya said in a statement that it was "incensed by the persistent publishing of offensive stories and pictures by the Star newspaper".
It has summoned The Star's owners to a meeting to explain the "unprofessional" conduct of its journalists before it decides on action.
This could include the withdrawal of the accreditation of the newspaper's journalists. The Star has not commented on the council's statement.
Kenya has suffered multiple attacks from al-Shebaab militants, who called the Charlie Hebdo attacks "heroic".
South Africa's The Citizen said it apologised to all who were offended by it reprinting the cartoon.
"We deplore those killings, as we do any attempt to enforce censorship through violence," an editorial said.
In Senegal, which has a majority Muslim population, the government has banned Charlie Hebdo's distribution.
The country has close links with France, the former colonial power, and French newspapers are widely available.
The magazine's cover shows the prophet weeping while holding a sign saying "I am Charlie", and below the headline "All is forgiven".
Twelve people, including some of the magazine's best known cartoonists, were killed last week by militant Islamist gunmen who said they were avenging a 2005 depiction of Prophet Muhammad.
An interior ministry statement reported on the Senegalese news agency APS said it was banning the distribution of Charlie Hebdo by "all means".
The ban includes French newspaper Liberation, which also carried the front cover.
Analysis: Abdourahmane Dia, BBC Africa, Dakar
Senegal's bestselling newspaper, L'Observateur, described the ban on Charlie Hebdo as a "bluff" by President Macky Sall, who was widely condemned for taking part in the Paris march on Sunday. It questioned how he could have marched in Paris for press freedom, only for his government to then ban the magazine's edition depicting Prophet Muhammad.
The government has to walk a fine line between taking a stance against terrorism and not showing support for a publication seen by many Senegalese Muslims as anti-Islamic.
Although many people condemned Mr Sall for taking part in the march, prominent Muslim cleric Serigne Modou Kara defended him, saying his attendance was necessary because of the close ties between France and Senegal.
Meanwhile, a campaign group has called for a march in Dakar on 24 January under the slogan "I am African" in response to "I am Charlie", to highlight the plight of Africans who are are victims of violence, especially Nigerians under attack from militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

It was his first public comment on the violence, which began last week.
At least 40 people have been killed as a result of discord between Buddhists and Muslims since 20 March.
Curfews have been imposed in a number of areas, as crowds of Buddhists attacked Muslim buildings.
The police were reported on Wednesday to have opened fire in one town on a crowd of about 500 people.
Last Friday a state of emergency was enforced in the central town of Meiktila in Mandalay region - where the communal violence began after a reported argument at a gold shop.
"I would like to warn all political opportunists and religious extremists who try to exploit the noble teachings of these religions and have tried to plant hatred among people of different faiths for their own self-interest. Their efforts will not be tolerated," the president said in a national televised address.
"In general, I do not endorse the use of force to solve problems. However, I will not hesitate to use force as a last resort to protect the lives and safeguard the property of the general public," he said.
"All perpetrators of violence will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The president said that "conflicts and difficulties" would inevitably arise during Burma's transition to a democracy.
He called on police to "perform their duties decisively, bravely and within the constraints of the constitution and by-laws".
Correspondents say that police in Meiktila have been criticised for failing to act quickly enough to stop the rioting, in which houses, shops and mosques were burned down.
At least 12,000 Muslims are thought to have fled their homes because of the unrest.
In similar violence in Rakhine state last year, nearly 200 people were killed and tens of thousands forced from their homes.
The conflict that erupted in Rakhine involved Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, who are not recognised as Burmese citizens and have complained of frequent persecution.
Those affected by the latest violence insist that in contrast to the allegations made against the Rohingyas they are legitimate Burmese citizens.
Correspondents say that isolated violence involving Burma's majority Buddhist population and its minority Muslim community has occurred for decades, even under military governments that ruled the country from 1962 to 2011. | The Burmese government will use force if necessary to stop "political opportunists and religious extremists" from fomenting hatred between faiths, President Thein Sein has warned. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "21968040"} | 522 | 48 | 0.547255 | 1.296531 | 0.949978 | 1.586207 | 15.206897 | 0.758621 |
The move is seen an attempt to stem the economic fallout from the outbreak that has killed nine people in Asia's fourth largest economy since it was first reported last last month.
Its policy rate was reduced by 0.25 percentage points to 1.5% - the bank's fourth rate cut in less than a year.
The move was expected by economists.
"We were expecting a rate cut in July, or at least within the third quarter, so we believe the [Bank of Korea's] decision was affected by the MERS outbreak," said Kim Myong-Sil, an analyst at KB Investment & Securities.
The rate cut is also the seventh since the central bank began its easing cycle three years ago.
Economists said the outbreak of Mers could stop the country's economic recovery, which had appeared to pick up momentum in recent months.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers)

"There have already been signs of public alarm, with schools closed, public events called off, and tens of thousands of visitors cancelling their travel plans. To compound matters, the outbreak has come at a time when exports are struggling," said Krystal Tan, economist at Capital Economics in a note.
Thousands of people have been quarantined in the country with 14 new cases of Mers reported by health officials on Thursday.
The total of infections has now reached 122 - making it the largest outside of Saudi Arabia.
Hong Kong authorities have also confirmed that they are testing two people for the disease - both of whom had recently travelled to South Korea. Another 31 people have all tested negative.
Authorities in the export-driven country have already been under pressure to introduce more stimulus measures on the back of weak global demand and a stronger won impacting exports.
"Looking at the Korean economy, the Committee notes that the trend of decline in exports has accelerated and that consumption, which had been showing a recovery, appears to have contracted since the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome," the central bank said in a statement.
Earlier this month, government data showed that exports saw their worst annual fall in nearly six years in May on a combination of slower growth in China, weaker oil prices and fewer working days - sparking calls for a rate cut.
Exports fell 10.9% from a year go, the biggest drop since an over 20% decline in August 2009 during the global financial crisis.
However, the central bank has been concerned about how cheaper credit would impact South Korea's already massive household debt.
South Korean households have debt amounting to about 160% of annual disposable income on average, one of the highest among major economies.
In its policy announcement, the central bank said it would "closely monitor the trend of increase" in household debt. | South Korea's central bank has cut interest rates to a record low, amid a deadly outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers). | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33089930"} | 600 | 34 | 0.49877 | 1.278562 | 0.009916 | 2.785714 | 19.928571 | 0.785714 |
The leaflet, referring to the London-raised Islamic State fighter "Jihadi John", was reported to police in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan.
Officers contacted UKIP who claimed it was a "deception" by political rivals.
Meanwhile, a public meeting by UKIP in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, was disrupted by angry exchanges with Welsh language campaigners on Monday evening.
Referring to the leaflet, UKIP MEP Nathan Gill said: "This latest attempt to damage the reputation of UKIP and paint us out to be something we are not is an utter disgrace."
The two-sided leaflet urged people to vote UKIP if they objected to welfare payments to the families of extremists, or said they should support another party if they wanted "a jihadi for a neighbour".
UKIP said no-one at the party authorised or printed the leaflet, which bore no official logo.
South Wales Police said it was looking into the matter.
In north Wales, UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall was heckled by two people, including well-known language campaigner Dr Simon Brooks, angry there was no option to ask questions in Welsh at the meeting in Porthmadog.
Mr Nuttall told them: "The fact is that we are one nation. We are the United Kingdom.
"If you come into this country it should be a prerequisite in certain jobs like being a doctor or a nurse that you should speak the language of the land and that language, believe it or not, even here for the majority of people in Wales, is English."
Dr Brooks said: "No translation facilities, no Welsh leaflets, no Welsh-speaking representatives, in this town where the majority of people speak Welsh is a disgrace." | UKIP has denied being responsible for a leaflet accusing other parties of backing state benefits for extremists. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32016657"} | 398 | 25 | 0.505572 | 1.29523 | 0.256883 | 0.666667 | 18.666667 | 0.555556 |

Australia's Robertson started with 74, but O'Sullivan made 63 and 51 as the pair shared the first six frames.
Neither player were at their best but Englishman O'Sullivan won the seventh, and a fluked red helped him take the next, before winning with a 68 break.
O'Sullivan will now play Marco Fu, who beat Mark Allen 6-2.

Fu made the highest break of the tournament - a 140 in the eighth frame - and followed it up with a 65 to advance to Saturday's semi.
The 2010 runner-up had started with breaks of 83 and 74 as he took a 3-0 lead, before Allen's 70 and 54 closed the deficit, but Fu kept his cool by winning three-in-a-row.

"Both players were missing and you saw how much it meant to them. It was enjoyable in a strange way."

The Seasiders squandered the golden opportunity after 21 minutes, when Neil Danns was upended in the area by Joe McNerney.
Danns took the penalty himself but put it well wide of the post.
Crawley's best effort of the first half came after 43 minutes, when Jordan Roberts struck powerfully from 20 yards - but it was straight at goalkeeper Sam Slocombe.
His opposite number Glenn Morris was called into action for the first time five minutes after the break as he leapt to his right to turn Andy Taylor's free-kick around the post.
The visitors passed up a great chance to go ahead after 54 minutes, when Slocombe spilled a corner but Jimmy Smith dragged the ball wide from ten yards.
Substitute Sanmi Odelusi thought he had grabbed a winner for Blackpool five minutes from time as he lashed the ball home but was penalised for handball.

A Customs spokesman said officials found 400g of gold, worth about 2m Sri Lankan rupees (£9,351; $13,932), inside the suspect's rectal cavity.
Officers at Bandaranaike International Airport had noticed he was "walking suspiciously", the spokesman said.
The man, 42, said he worked for a Sri Lankan government ministry, though this has not been confirmed.
Spokesman Leslie Gamini told the BBC's Azzam Ameen in Colombo the man had been "finding it hard to walk".
More than 70 people have been arrested this year for smuggling gold in Sri Lanka, officials said.

He scored KCCA's first after 15 minutes before Bolaji Sakin fired into the roof of the net 18 minutes later to equalize for Rivers.
Nsibambi scored what proved to be the winner with a shot from inside the area with 19 minutes left to play.
Despite the win KCCA coach Mike Mutebi felt his side should have won by more.
"We should have got more goals because we created the chances, but now we return to the drawing board for the away game in Nigeria on June 20th," he said.
His Nigerian counterpart Stanley Eguma was not happy with his defence.
"My boys tried to play a good game, but the early goal was our problem. We also didn't defend well," he said.
The other match in Group A was played on Friday and Morocco's FUS Rabat came from behind to beat visiting Club Africain of Tunisia 2-1.

The trio will all compete in the individual and men's team foil events.
The three also competed in the 2012 London Games, where GB finished sixth in the team event, and Kruse, 32, will be going to his fourth Games.
Kruse said: "It's the pinnacle of the sport so to be able to go out for my fourth Games is going to be brilliant."
Kruse, and Olympic squad reserve Marcus Mepstead, were part of the GB team which beat Italy to win the team foil gold at the European Games in 2015.
The GB team then secured its place in Brazil in February with a ninth-placed finish at the World Cup in Bonn.
Alex Newton, Team GB Fencing team leader, said: "The experience they all have is really important. It's a huge opportunity now.
"They are there by right and given the field and where they are within that, there is a real medal chance."
Fencing has been incorporated in every Games since 1896.

Mandy Dickson said she placed her 20-month-old son Devon on a slide at Green Grosvenor Park in Salford so she could discreetly photograph the men.
She said the play area was littered with cannabis joints and a drug pipe.
Salford Council said it had begun an investigation and was working with Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
The incident in Lower Broughton on Thursday at about 11:00 BST was first reported by the Manchester Evening News.
Ms Dickson told the BBC: "My son wanted to use the slide and I noticed the people on the ground, who I thought were homeless."
She said Devon then kicked over what she thought was a water bottle belonging to one of the men.
The 35-year-old said she then realised the bottle had been "turned into a drug pipe".
Ms Dickson said she had received criticism on social media for "letting my son play near drug addicts" but explained she had placed her son on the slide only "for a few seconds" in order to get some photographic evidence to warn other parents living nearby.
"I would absolutely not be able to live with myself if I'd done nothing and another kid had been harmed or died because of what they left behind," she said.
Insp Darren Whitehead of GMP said: "The Broughton Neighbourhood policing team regularly patrol this area and we have not had any previous reports of this nature.
"We will continue to conduct high visibility patrols and identify any individuals causing anti-social behaviour."
Salford City Councillor David Lancaster said the images were "very concerning".
"It would appear from the pictures I have seen that drugs are involved," he said.

On Monday, she testified before the Supreme Court over claims of money-laundering by the ruling Popular Party (PP) during her 24 years as mayor.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate her for half an hour after receiving an emergency call from a Madrid hotel at about 07:00 local time (06:00 GMT).
The Supreme Court began investigating Ms Barbera in September.
Many of her team have been accused of corruption, but Ms Barbera denied any involvement in a suspected illegal financing network.
A lower court judge initially requested an investigation in April, but Ms Barbera's status as a senator, granting her immunity from the lower courts, meant she could only be investigated by the Supreme Court.
The investigation relates to Operation Taula, which saw 24 people arrested in January and is focused on the activities of local officials in Valencia, Alicante and Castellon.
All those held have links to the PP, the dominant political force in the region until elections brought a move to the left in May 2015, and the PP lost its absolute majority in Valencia.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy paid tribute to Ms Barbera, who he said "gave everything for Valencia and the Popular Party".
But a string of PP members and Ms Barbera's lawyer criticised political rivals for presuming her guilt and, they said, leading her to be "depressed and on medication".
Another leading PP member of Congress said she had suffered a "witch hunt".
Ms Barbera enjoyed a long period as mayor of Valencia - winning an absolute majority in five consecutive elections between 1995 and 2011.
Under her tenure, she vowed to create a city that rivalled Barcelona. The stunning City of Arts and Sciences cultural and architectural complex and the Norman Foster-designed Congress Centre were both built during the 1990s.
But in 2015 she was voted out, and took up a seat in the Senate.
In January 2016, Spanish authorities made a string of arrests under Operation Taula, amid evidence that PP officials in Valencia had participated in laundering money that funded past election campaigns.
Although Ms Barbera did admit making one donation of €1,000 (£860; $1,060), she denied receiving anything in return.
But while political leaders expressed their condolences, reaction to the former mayor's death was mixed. The left-wing Podemos party filed out of parliament when a minute's silence was held in the chamber.
"We regret the death of Barbera but cannot participate in a political tribute to someone whose career is marked by corruption," tweeted Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias. | A leading Spanish senator and ex-mayor of Valencia, Rita Barbera, has died of a heart attack at 68, doctors say. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38075458"} | 568 | 32 | 0.456974 | 1.338147 | -0.5128 | 0.961538 | 19.153846 | 0.653846 |
The woman narrowly managed to push her son to safety before she fell into the still moving escalator on Sunday.
Investigators concluded that store staff lacked training and should have shut the machinery down earlier.
The incident in Jingzhou, in Hubei province, has sparked widespread anger at the department store.
Xiang Liujuan, 30, was travelling on an upward escalator with her son, and as she stepped onto a metal panel at the top of the escalator, it gave way, catching her and dragging her down.
CCTV footage caught her just managing to save her son before disappearing into the still rolling escalator at the Anliang department store.
Five minutes before the accident, staff members noticed that a panel had become loose, but no proper instructions were given and nobody stopped the escalator, noted the preliminary report.
"The company lacks adequate training of staff on how to deal with emergency escalator situations, and lacks practice, which led to the escalator not being shut down (before the accident)," it said.
The manufacturer, Shenlong Elevator Ltd, was criticised for the design of its product's metal panels, which investigators said could easily work their way loose.
CCTV footage reveals that as the young mother travelled on the escalator from the 6th floor to the 7th floor with her son, two staff members were standing at the top of the escalator on the 7th floor, joined by another staff member.
It's not clear if they knew that there was a problem with the escalator or not or if they gave any warnings.
According to the husband of the victim, there were no signs or any warning at the bottom of the escalator, and only when the mother and son were already reaching the top did the women shout to her about the danger, but it was too late, and his wife was dragged down before they could finish the sentence.
The victim's son is reported to have witnessed how his mother was "swallowed" by the escalator, and was telling the relatives to save her while the rescue was going on.
The death of Xiang Liujuan on what should have been an ordinary shopping trip has sparked outrage, anger and concern on social media.
Many express disbelief at what they see as a totally incompetent response to the emergency situation by the shopping centre, with one netizen asking "what's happening to China? What are the maintenance staff doing in the shopping mall"?
Others question why these accidents seem to be happening frequently, and lament the avoidable loss of life.
According to a Xinhua report, in July alone, there have been several serious incidents involving lifts and escalators across the country, causing several deaths and serious injuries.
What many find quite shocking is that since the death in Jingzhou, there have been two reported serious incidents.
On 27 July, a one-year-old boy had his left arm caught in the handrail of an escalator in Sun Square, in Guangxi's Wuzhou City. Reports say the boy might lose his arm.
On the same day, a young woman was killed when she got stuck in the gap between the floor and a goods elevator, in the southern city of Wuxi.
These incidents have put the safety of elevators and escalators once again under the spotlight. Experts point to a variety of concerns, including manufacturing defaults, over use, lack of maintenance and poor inspections.
Now Hubei quality control authorities have issued an urgent instruction to suspend the use of escalators produced by Shen Long Ltd until further notice. They have also ordered a thorough inspection of all the elevators and escalators in service.
As for the victim's relatives, they say they will not talk about compensation before they get the final results of the investigation and know who is responsible.

They fear South Farnham school, which has an on-site infant school, provides a more secure route to junior education in the town.
Sam Powell, who has twins at St Andrew's, said: "It's the most wonderful school you could imagine."
Surrey County Council said the school needed a link with a junior school.
Mr Powell said: "I've got two girls in year one, twins, and since they've been there they have been thriving.
"The teachers are wonderful, the governors are amazing - it is just the most perfect place."
A spokesman for Surrey County Council said: "There are a number of unfilled places at St Andrew's infant school, primarily because it does not have an established link to a junior school.
"Our preference would be to see the diocese create a formal link between St Andrew's and South Farnham school to address this - something we are urging them to do however we are not the decision maker in that process.
"But failing that residents are not getting value for money from a school which is not full."
A petition has been set up to save the school and has over 1,000 signatories.
The diocese of Guildford, which runs St Andrew's, has urged parents to name the school as their preferred choice for children starting school in 2016 so the school could survive.
Derek Holbird, the director of education, said: "There isn't an easy route through to one particular school and parents wouldn't want that anyway.

Kenya's Jacob Keli scored for the 2013 winners of the regional tournament in the 29th minute, before substitute Micheal Olunga made it 2-0 four minutes after the break.
The Group B victory was particularly sweet for Kenya's Scottish coach Bobby Williamson who formerly coached Uganda, and had previously won the Cecafa Cup with the Cranes.
It is good to start a tournament like this on a winning note
"It is good to start a tournament like this on a winning note," said Williamson after a victory against a Uganda team who last week qualified for the group phase of 2018 World Cup qualifying.
Kenya, who failed to make it to the next phase of World Cup qualifiers, were a more dominant side with a good tactical approach.
Keli's goal came off a well timed Eric Johanna cross that beat the Cranes defenders.
Uganda dominated play in the second half but missed key opportunities.
They proved costly as substitute Olunga - who replaced Keli - made no mistake with his finish.
The loss leaves Uganda, the record 13-time Cecafa Cup winners, bottom of Group B.
Kenya top the group, while Burundi - who beat Zanzibar 1-0 on Saturday - are second.

Evans, 24, is ranked 18th in the world after reaching the quarter-finals of the £40,000 Cleveland Classic in March.
"I'm seeded 16th. I've sneaked in as a few people have pulled out," Evans told BBC Wales Sport.
She says there will be a high standard of competition at the World Championships.
"They'll be girls who are 16 or 17 who you've probably never hear of and they are very good," added Evans.
"You never have an easy game in Egypt. You go there and you get locals and qualifiers who are never easy.
"It would be good to end on a real high. Egypt is always a place I've played well in."
Six of the top 20 female squash players in the world rankings are Egyptian and Evans says it'll be a challenge playing in the North African nation.
"They love it. It's a big thing for them. It's their biggest sport and they are taking squash to a new level right now," she said.
"It's in their genes. From a young age they take it so seriously. When they go to school they play squash. It's amazing.
"We could learn a lot from them."
Evans competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, but was knocked out at the final 16.
She hopes her experience in 2016-17 will help to secure a medal for Wales in the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia.
"Glasgow is one of the best things I've ever done so I'm very excited there's a chance of me going to the Gold Coast," she said.
"I will be in a better position than I was four years ago and I'm hoping to do really well there. I would love to win a medal. It is definitely a goal for me.

India on Tuesday announced a 15-man team to defend their title in Australia and New Zealand next month.
All-rounders Stuart Binny, Akshar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja have been included in the team.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni will continue to lead the one-day international team despite recently retiring from Test cricket.
India won the World Cup in 2011 under Dhoni's leadership and his side had players like legendary Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh.
Papers say Dhoni will lead a new-look team in 2015 because India's selectors seem to have gone for youth over experience.
"Four years after winning the World Cup at home, only four players from the meritorious Class of 2011 will travel to Australia and New Zealand to defend the title," says The Indian Express.
The paper adds that Dhoni has an impossible target of repeating his 2011 achievement.
"Ever since that victory lap at Wankhede [stadium in Mumbai], it has been downhill for Dhoni and his team. Unlike the last time, when he led men with lofty reputations to the top of the podium, mediocrity enjoys a majority in the Indian dressing room this time," it adds.
The Hindustan Times, however, seems impressed with the squad.
"This squad should lift India's fielding standards, vital on the bigger grounds in Australia. It also has a sprinkling of all-round cricketers. Gujarat's 20-year-old Akshar Patel's selection could prove an inspired one as his left-arm spin stood up well against Sri Lanka at home and he is also a sharp fielder and useful lower-order batsman," it says.
MS Dhoni, S Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ambati Raydu, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Akshar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Stuart Binny and Umesh Yadav
However, some papers and Twitter fans seemed disheartened over Yuvraj Singh's exclusion from the team.
"Had it been the case of a national mandate on the basis of ballots, fans would have easily sent him to Australia. But an Indian team selection doesn't work on public sentiment. It's all about numbers, current form, the assessment of the selectors and of course, what Dhoni feels about the situation," says The Times of India.
And finally, authorities in Delhi have decided to impose a fine on vehicles that obstruct the path of ambulances, The Times of India reports.
The national capital suffers from heavy traffic and ambulances and other emergency vehicles often have to slow down due to people not following traffic rules.
The police will now impose a fine of 2,000 rupees [£20; $31] on people who are caught obstructing the path of such vehicles.
"All a hospital has to do is report to us the vehicle number, date and time of violation and proof, if any," the paper quotes a police official as saying.

The Tiantong-01 satellite will establish a mobile network serving China, the Middle East, Africa and other areas, the state run Xinhua news agency reported.
It was sent into space after midnight local time in Beijing (16:00 GMT) on Sunday.
The ground service will be operated by China Telecom, which is owned by the Chinese state.
The country is also preparing for the next round of its manned space mission.
China's science revolution
On Saturday two launch rockets arrived at a launch centre in northwest China. They will carry a second module of the country's planned space station - replacing Tiangong 1 which has ended its service - and a staffed spacecraft called Shenzou-11.
China sent its first astronaut into space in 2003, and since then has taken huge advancements.
The head designer of China's lunar missions told the BBC earlier this year that China plans to settle on the Moon and explore Mars.

Serdar Mohammed was arrested in Helmand in 2010 but argues his subsequent detention breached his human rights.
In 2014, the High Court ruled UK forces had unlawfully detained Mr Mohammed before handing him to Afghan police.
However, the UK's Supreme Court has now allowed the Ministry of Defence to appeal against that ruling.
Mr Mohammed was seized on 7 April 2010 in the Kajaki district of Helmand province, Afghanistan, as he fled along a road where a rocket-propelled grenade launcher had been found after a firefight.
He was detained by British troops until 25 July 2010, when he was then transferred to Afghan authorities.
Mr Mohammed was subsequently tried, convicted and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for offences relating to the insurgency in Afghanistan.
However, Mr Mohammed claims British forces held him for an unlawful amount of time and he is seeking damages.
Under International Security Assistance Force procedures, suspects were allowed to be detained for a maximum of 96 hours - or four days - after which time they had to be released or handed over to Afghan authorities.
In November 2009, the UK government adopted its own policy under which ministers could authorise detention beyond 96 hours - if it was believed a suspect could provide new intelligence.
However, in 2014, High Court judge Mr Justice Leggatt found that while Mr Mohammed's arrest and initial detention for the initial 96 hours had been lawful, he had then been unlawfully held for a further 106 days.
Mr Mohammed's lawyers successfully argued in court that the UK's policy on detention had breached his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The MoD then challenged that ruling.
The Supreme Court judgement said that even if it can be shown the MoD contravened the ECHR in detaining Mr Mohammed for longer than 96 hours, it would not necessarily entitle him to damages.
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the case was now likely to go back to court as the MoD has to show there was an imperative security reason to detain Mr Mohammed.
However, our correspondent said the Supreme Court's ruling would be seen as a "partial victory" for the government. | An Afghan national who was detained by British forces for more than 100 days has suffered a setback in his attempt to win damages from the UK government. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38650416"} | 492 | 33 | 0.465724 | 1.179579 | 0.381131 | 1.310345 | 14.37931 | 0.689655 |
The hosts led when Godden fired in from Steve Schumacher's cross and he scored a second just before half-time with a close-range finish.
After the break, Ben Kennedy fouled Sid Nelson and Godden fired from the spot.
Dan Butler scored a consolation for the Exiles late on but it was too late to overturn Stevenage's lead.
The result means Newport County remain bottom of the League Two table and five points from safety, while Stevenage move up two places to 13th.
Newport manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales: "I thought it was a very positive afternoon.
"It was always going to be difficult to start the game, as in five new lads in the side, 2-0 with the error and 3-0 with the soft penalty.
"The boys could have been forgiven, but sides would have dropped their heads and would have gone under.
"But we didn't. We showed a character. We showed a strength. We showed resilience.
"We showed a willingness to go and get something out of the half and we did. We fought back."

Patrick McIntosh, a chartered financial adviser from Surrey, reached the pole on Saturday on the anniversary of Captain Scott's 1912 expedition.
He travelled with polar explorer Conrad Dickinson from Hexham, who led Prince Harry and his team on Walking With The Wounded in 2013.
After reaching the pole, Mr McIntosh said he felt like "a million dollars".
He decided to take on the gruelling 138-mile (222km) trek after battling three types of cancer over a 13-month period in 2012-13.
The reason behind the expedition was to get people "thinking and talking about their health and reacting quickly to any symptoms" and to raise £222,000 for charities Bowel Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer UK and the Voice Of The Listener And The Viewer.
Mr McIntosh said the best part of the expedition was "to have had absolutely no malfunctions in my body whatsoever".
"I don't feel as if I've done anything for the last 11 days and yet I know I've been through the most unbelievable ordeal," he added.
The pair reached the South Pole unsupported, meaning they carried all supplies and equipment with them.
Mr McIntosh's granddaughter, Gemma Barker, said: "They arrived at 7pm our time, they're both fine, and Patrick sounds on cloud nine. He's so excited to have arrived and is very happy with what he has achieved.

Ramsey will miss Wales' World Cup qualifier against Moldova on 5 September after injuring his hamstring in Arsenal's 4-3 defeat by Liverpool.
Wales boss Chris Coleman had expected Ramsey to miss the start of the season.
"He played because he didn't play the final, nor the semi-final, nor the quarter-final," Wenger explained.
"That is the only reason and he had needed preparation time.
"So he was out [of the European Championships] basically two weeks before Mesut Ozil, Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud."
Ramsey played the full game as Wales stunned Belgium 3-1 in the Euro 2016 quarter-final, though he missed their semi-final elimination by Portugal through suspension.
Coleman has made clear that he felt the injury was preventable.
"It's disappointing he's got an injury. Could it have been prevented? Possibly, yes," he said at his Wales press conference on Tuesday.
"I think we all expected him to [miss the start of the season], so I don't know what happened between then and when he ended up on the pitch.
"Obviously only Arsenal can answer that. I think, to a man, if you were looking at Arsenal's team sheet, it was a bit of a surprise he started.

DUP MLAs went into the poll with 10-seat advantage over Sinn Féin, but now, in a trimmed down Stormont, just one seat separates the two parties.
Arlene Foster repeatedly claimed during her campaign that Sinn Féin could return as the biggest party.
So was it a close shave for the DUP leader? And what do voters make of it?
Ruairi O'Neill, who owns Sonny's Barbers shop on Belfast's Ormeau Road, said the DUP's attitude towards republicans while in government was partially responsible for the rise in the pro-nationalist vote.
"I think Sinn Féin got a bigger vote because of the way the DUP were treating them... slagging them off, trying to divert away from the actual scandal [surrounding a botched heating scheme]," he said.
Having given his first preference to the Green Party's Claire Bailey in last May's election, this time Mr O'Neill switched back to Sinn Féin.
But his decision was mainly influenced by local issues - as well as the powerlessness of smaller parties, he said.
Standing outside a bookmakers shop on the Ormeau Road, local resident William Russell would not have bet against the DUP and Sinn Féin returning as the two largest parties.
"I don't think it's going to make the slightest bit off difference," he said.
"It's politics in Northern Ireland - they vote by their families. They won't change."
Mr Russell, who voted Green, said the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scandal damaged the DUP and blamed its leader, Arlene Foster.
"She was the lady who instigated it [the RHI scheme] and she was the one in charge of it, and she let it go on."
But in a hairdressers in the unionist heartland of Belfast's Sandy Row, the RHI scandal did not have any bearing on DUP supporter Joyce Elliott, who said she switched allegiance from the UUP to the DUP.
"I just felt they were the stronger party this time and I just decided I'd give them a chance and see what happens," she says.
She was against a return to direct rule and thought the DUP and Sinn Féin would have to form a government "of some description".
"I can't see that it's going to do any good if they don't," she said.
In east Belfast, another DUP voter said the election should never have been called and had simply wasted "nearly £6m of public money".
An Ulster Unionist voter who did not want to be named said she felt sorry for Mike Nesbitt, who announced his resignation as the party's leader after its poor showing at the polls.
"I agreed with his policies," she says, adding that he had stepped down too soon.
The middle ground has been squeezed and shifted too in this election, with the nationalist SDLP overtaking Mr Nesbitt's Ulster Unionist Party for the first time.
In the Ormeau Road's Kurl up and Dye salon, one SDLP voter said she was quite pleased with the party's performance.
She expressed surprise at Sinn Féin's success, but believed the party would go back into government with the DUP.
"We have come through situations before that were more difficult to overcome," added the woman, who also did not want to be named.
Across the road in Corrie's butcher shop, Stormont's sectarian carve-up did not impress Belfast teacher Oonagh.
The former SDLP voter switched her first preference to the Alliance Party.
"Years ago, it was a green and orange vote," she said. "Now I would not be voting at all according to religious grounds.
"I work in education I feel very, very strongly about the cuts. I see how staff are suffering, I see how children are suffering."
She added she voted on the basis of "on-the-ground" issues, like education, healthcare and equality.
"Those are the issues that I think are important. It's not about 'are we part of the UK, are we part of Ireland?'"
Behind the counter, butcher Stephen Carson said he had not voted for years, as he had been turned off by a series of financial scandals in Stormont and did not think his vote would make a difference.
"I'm not really into tribal politics," he said. "Why should I vote for someone else to have a better life than me?"
So did the butcher think Stormont's power-sharing government would return any time soon?
"No chance: I think we're going for direct rule," he said.
In the Original Just Gents Barber Shop next door, staff member Jim Clarke said he voted for the UUP "in defiance" of his family's tradition.
"There's still a lot of bigotry in this county," he said. "It's cursed. Belfast? No - Hellfast!"
But one of his customers, Colum Campbell, was more optimistic.
"I just wish everybody would get on together, and that's really all it comes down to - so that you could go anywhere and not have to worry about what place you're in or any of that," he said.
"If we put our heads together, there's no reason why it couldn't happen." | The DUP has held onto its crown as the Northern Ireland Assembly's biggest party, but Sinn Féin has cut deep into their lead. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39166811"} | 1,209 | 31 | 0.472146 | 1.215861 | 0.662911 | 1.192308 | 40.884615 | 0.730769 |
Riot police were deployed when plastic bottles, seats and coins were thrown at the EFL Cup tie at the London Stadium.
Chelsea fan Michael Parker, 51, and West Ham fan Nicholas Greenway, 27, got five and three-year bans respectively.
Parker, of Eversleigh Road, Battersea, was charged with throwing a missile and Greenway, of Alexandra Road, Mitcham, was accused of threatening behaviour.
Metropolitan Police commander BJ Harrington said: "The orders will prevent them from causing more trouble.
"There were a minority who were clearly intent on being involved in confrontation and violence.
"Despite extensive work with both clubs and a robust policing operation, there were unacceptable incidents inside and outside the stadium, before, during and after the game."
Police made seven arrests after the match, with both clubs, the Football Association and the English Football League investigating the incident.
Of those arrested on the night, one further supporter has been charged and is awaiting trial. Three others have been released on bail without charge.
West Ham have also banned an unspecified number of fans, who are no longer able to buy tickets, while any season ticket holders involved have had them revoked.
The east London club have struggled with crowd disturbances since their move to the London Stadium and prior to the Chelsea game had already banned 23 fans - some until the end of the season and others indefinitely.
"We will continue to work with our partners to tackle crime and disorder at the London Stadium and the banning orders are a part of this work," Harrington said.
"We are working tirelessly to identify people involved and bring them to justice. Anyone with information or witnesses to the disorder is asked to call the police non-emergency line on 101." | Two men have been given football banning orders after crowd trouble at West Ham's win over Chelsea in October. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38027152"} | 377 | 24 | 0.531462 | 1.252946 | -0.081352 | 0.952381 | 16.52381 | 0.666667 |
Roedd Gareth Jones yn siarad wedi i Leanne Wood ddod i gwrdd â chynghorwyr y sir ddydd Llun.
Yn y bore, fe gyhoeddodd Mr Jones ei gabinet sy'n cynnwys aelodau o'r Ceidwadwyr - er fod Plaid Cymru yn genedlaethol wedi gwrthod caniatáu'r glymblaid â'r Torïaid.
Dywedodd Mr Jones ei fod yn bwriadu yn aros fel arweinydd ar y cyngor.
Yn y cabinet y cyhoeddodd Mr Jones dydd Llun, mae pum Ceidwadwr, dau o Blaid Cymru ac un aelod annibynnol.
Roedd 'na ddau gynghorydd arall o Blaid Cymru yng nghynlluniau gwreiddiol Mr Jones, ond dydyn nhw ddim yn rhan o'r cynlluniau terfynol.
Wedi'r cyfarfod gyda Ms Wood ym Mae Colwyn, dywedodd Mr Jones: "Fydda' i yn aros fel arweinydd.
"Y cwestiwn teg... ydy a fydda' i'n arweinydd Plaid Cymru ac yn arwain y cabinet. Mae'n edrych yn debyg na fydda' i ddim."
Wrth iddi hithau adael y cyfarfod, dywedodd Ms Wood bod y trafodaethau wedi bod yn "dda".
Ond pan ofynnwyd iddi os fyddai Mr Jones yn parhau'n aelod o Blaid Cymru wedi'r ffrae, dywedodd y "byddai'n rhai i chi ofyn iddo fe."
Dywedodd Mr Jones hefyd dydd Llun ei fod yn credu bod blaenoriaethau Plaid Cymru yn anghywir.
"I fi, mae [llywodraeth leol] yn flaenoriaeth gynta'," meddai. "Mae'n edrych yn debyg i fi bod hwnnw'n dod yn drydydd blaenoriaeth ar ôl San Steffan, ar ôl y Cynulliad...
"Dwi'n meddwl, er mwyn llwyddiant a lles Plaid Cymru, y dylai'r blaenoriaethau hynny fod yn gwbl fel arall."

Indie band The Maccabees have scored their first number one album with Marks To Prove It, just 1,300 copies ahead of Lianne La Havas' Blood.
Cilla Black entered the album top 40 chart following her death last weekend.
The Very Best of Cilla Black reached its highest ever chart position at number 14, while her former number one single Anyone Who Had A Heart also entered the singles chart at number 41, securing its highest chart position in 51 years.
Drag Me Down is One Direction's first single as a foursome since the departure of Zayn Malik.
Its release came a surprise to fans who had not been expecting a new single,
According to the Official Charts Company, Calvin Harris and Disciples' How Deep Is Your Love climbed from six to two and last week's number one, Black Magic by Little Mix, fell to three.
The top five was rounded off with Lost Frequencies' Are You With Me at four, and Years & Years' Shine at five.
The Maccabees nearly missed out on their number one album spot, having battled with La Havas all week.
Marks To Prove It finished the week ahead by just 1,300 combined chart sales.
"We are very proud that our fourth album has given us our first number 1," guitarist Felix White told the Official Charts Company.

Tories Michael Gove and Boris Johnson and Labour's Gisela Stuart wrote in the Sun that the tax on energy bills cannot be scrapped because of EU rules.
But Chancellor George Osborne accused them of "fantasy land" economics.
Remain campaigners said Vote Leave were promising a "make-believe land of milk and honey" if the UK left the EU.
There is one week left to register to vote in the EU referendum on 23 June.
In their article, the Vote Leave politicians said they would seek to spend some of the cash saved by quitting the EU on cutting VAT from household gas and electricity bills, a tax imposed by the then Conservative government in 1993.
This issue covers energy availability and environmental protections.
"The least wealthy are hit particularly hard," they wrote.
"The poorest households spend three times more of their income on household energy bills than the richest households spend. As long as we are in the EU, we are not allowed to cut this tax.
"When we Vote Leave, we will be able to scrap this unfair and damaging tax.
"It isn't right that unelected bureaucrats in Brussels impose taxes on the poorest and elected British politicians can do nothing."
VAT on domestic fuel bills was cut to 5% under the Labour government - the lowest rate allowed under EU rules.
In 2014, the average bill for a customer of a big six energy firm was £1,190.
Mr Gove told the BBC it had been a "mistake" of the previous Major government to introduce the tax, adding: "The Conservative government at the time did so because of the economic damage that the exchange rate mechanism of the European Union had caused.
"I think it is now time to acknowledge that that was an error."
The justice secretary said it would be up to the prime minister and the chancellor to axe VAT, but said he backed such a move because it was "an unfair tax that hits the poorest people hardest".
Mr Osborne tweeted his attack on Vote Leave's claim, saying leaving the EU would lead to a smaller economy, "a hole in public finances" and higher taxes including VAT.
Energy Secretary Amber Rudd said it was "unequivocally" not the case that bills would fall if the UK left the EU, and that membership actually helped keep household costs down.
Remain campaigners said Leave-backing Conservatives Liam Fox, John Whittingdale and Iain Duncan Smith had previously voted against moves to reduce VAT on domestic fuel.
Britain Stronger in Europe also released a report which they said detailed Leave's "unaffordable" spending commitments.
They said more than 20 commitments, totalling £110bn, had been made - eclipsing the potential saving from leaving the EU.
Vote Leave's Chris Grayling dismissed the figures as "a complete fallacy" and "absurd mathematics", saying his side had been merely illustrating what could be done if the UK's contributions to Brussels were clawed back.
With just over three weeks to go before polling day, two opinion polls for The Guardian gave the Leave side a narrow lead.
Meanwhile, Business Secretary Sajid Javid warned of the impact of leaving the EU on small and medium-sized enterprises.
He cited Department for Business, Innovation and Skills analysis, estimating that 8% export to the EU and a further 15% are in the supply chains of other businesses that export to the EU.
But Vote Leave's John Longworth said the government's figures were "extremely questionable", that businesses were held back by EU "red tape" and that Mr Javid had "changed his mind" over the EU. | Leading figures in the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union say they want to be able to scrap VAT on fuel to help the poorest households. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36414761"} | 811 | 32 | 0.489101 | 1.209098 | 0.435611 | 1.793103 | 24.655172 | 0.827586 |
The production, which stars cabaret artist Meow Meow as Titania, has largely impressed the critics.
Although there has been some controversy about Rice's use of artificial lighting.
"Purists may wish to head for the hills," observed the Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish.
The audience on Thursday's opening night was greeted outside by a "magical forest" of trees with metallic leaves.
Meanwhile, the interior of the replica Elizabethan playhouse was transformed into a wedding venue, with circular tables dotted around the standing area under a canopy of giant orbs.
Rice's gender-swapping production turns Helena into a gay man called Helenus (Ankur Bahl) while the "rude mechanicals" are a largely female group of Globe ushers, headed by Rita Quince (Lucy Thackeray).
"Presiding over the mischief is Katy Owen's petite Puck, bedecked in a combination of hot-pants and Elizabethan doublet and ruff and squirting a water-pistol," continued Cavendish in his four-star review.
"Much fun and games, then, but also seriousness, sadness, and troubling madness. The watching school-parties were transfixed. And I was too. Result!"
The Guardian's Lyn Gardner, in a three-star review, said the play - despite many "fast and furious" gags - never fully tapped into any sense of the enchanted.
"For the first production in what has been dubbed The Wonder Season, this lacks a genuine sense of wonder and magic. There are times when, for all its exuberant gleefulness and merry laughter, it seems a tad charmless. Less could be more."
The Stage's four star review described Emma Rice's inaugural production "a bit of a ground-shaker".
"This is living theatre," said Natasha Tripney, "hot-blooded and hot-bodied, a production that feels utterly at home in the space while also challenging people's perceptions of what the Globe is for."
Whatsonstage.com's Daisy Bowie-Sell said the show was "a total hoot" and would "appeal to anyone who likes a bit of magic and a good party".
Rice, she went on, was "here to shake things up, mess with our heads, get us stamping our feet and clapping our hands so that the rumbles from the Globe can be felt all the way to Tower Bridge".

Nurse Dale Bolinger, 57, used the online Dark Fetish Network (DFN) to discuss beheading and eating women and girls for sexual gratification, Canterbury Crown Court was told.
He bought an axe in Broadstairs, Kent, in September 2012, the day before he was due to meet the girl, it was said.
Mr Bolinger denies attempting to meet a child under 16 after sexual grooming.
The court was told an email address being used by Mr Bolinger was traced by the FBI.
Prosecuting, Martin Yale told the jury they were investigating internet chats about the rape, killing and cannibalism of women.
Det Con Nicola Griffith, from Kent Police, told the court the FBI had passed chat logs on to detectives containing online conversations on DFN.
Mr Yale read out chat logs between Bolinger and other users to the court, in which he allegedly referred to beheading a 14-year-old, eating children while their mothers watched, and cooking and eating a pregnant woman and her foetus.
Many of the conversations involved discussions of eating children, which the court was told he referred to as "nice veal", including eating a newborn female baby.
The court heard how Mr Bolinger's online profile listed his interests as "cannibalism, mainly the hunting and preparation of young but sometime not so young women".
Jurors heard that Mr Bolinger, formerly of Canterbury, thought he had been chatting to a 14-year-old Mexican girl called Eva, who was living in Germany.
During their chats he proposed to meet her at Ashford International station and discussed the sexual acts he would perform before and after her death.
Mr Yale said: "He said he would murder her with an axe or a cleaver and then he would eat her."
Jurors heard that Mr Bolinger told the girl: "The idea of making love and then eating you is a very great turn-on.
"I have been called a very generous lover and I would be very generous to you before I prepped you for the table."
But Eva, whose identity has never been established, did not arrive and Mr Bolinger went home.
He said he had only gone to Ashford station because he feared for the girl's safety.
Mr Bolinger's trial heard how he claimed to have eaten a 39-year-old woman and a five-year-old child during chats with other users on the Dark Fetish Network.
While searching Mr Bolinger's phone and computer, police found indecent images of children with titles including "dinner; one in, one waiting", "the BBQ", "the BBQ2" and "the BBQ3", the jury was told.
He was arrested by Kent Police in February following liaison with FBI officers in the United States and charged seven months later.
The trial continues. | A man with a cannibalism fetish planned to kill a 14-year-old girl with an axe before eating her, a court heard. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "28313483"} | 641 | 39 | 0.484799 | 1.318672 | -0.2331 | 2.296296 | 20.592593 | 0.888889 |
Depay, a £25m signing from PSV in 2015, has played just 20 minutes for United in the Premier League this season.
But the 22-year-old came off the bench in Luxembourg to score with a header and free-kick to secure victory.
Arjen Robben had given the Dutch the lead only for Maxime Chanot to level with a penalty before the break.
Joshua Brenet was deemed to have clipped Daniel da Mota, which gave the defender an opportunity to score from the spot, but it was not enough for a Luxembourg side who have now gone nine matches without a win.
The introduction of Depay after the break swung the match in the visitors' favour, moving the Netherlands on to seven points, three behind leaders France, and above third-placed Sweden on goal difference.

A spokesperson said it was a voluntary interview.
The FBI is investigating Mrs Clinton and her aides over whether they mishandled classified information on a private email server she used while serving as secretary of state.
Mrs Clinton denies handling classified information in her private emails.
She said she set up the email address for reasons of convenience, because it was easier to do everything from her Blackberry than to have several phones or tablets.
However, a state department inquiry accused her and other former US secretaries of state of poorly managing email security.
The justice department is now seeking to establish whether this constitutes a criminal offence.
Let's face it - this is not really how you want to start a presidential campaign.
Hillary Clinton is trying to pitch herself as a sensible, qualified, experienced candidate who's facing an outlandish controversial opponent in Donald Trump.
Being questioned by the FBI for three and a half hours is not going to help her case.
It gives her Republican opponents ammunition to describe her as untrustworthy. Mr Trump has already nicknamed her "crooked Hillary" and uses it with glee at every campaign stump speech.
The timing of this long-awaited interview is also interesting. This is a holiday weekend filled with Independence Day barbeques and parades. The Clinton campaign will hope that voters are more interested in where to watch the fireworks than the rolling network news coverage.
In just a few weeks Hillary Clinton will stand on the Democratic convention stage and be formally announced as the party nominee. During that same time, the FBI will decide whether or not to bring formal charges. Legal experts say it is unlikely. In that case she may have time to put this controversy behind her personally.
But there's no doubt that, politically, her opponents are never going to let her forget it.
On Friday, the US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she would accept the findings of the FBI and prosecutors, when deciding whether to charge Mrs Clinton.
The day before, it was revealed that Ms Lynch had met the former president, Mrs Clinton's husband Bill, in what she described as a "social" meeting but which she admitted would "cast a shadow" over the way her role in the case would be perceived.
Mrs Clinton is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party and party members are expected to confirm the nomination at a convention at the end of July.
Shortly before being sworn in as secretary of state in 2009, Hillary Clinton set up an email server at her home. She relied on it for all her electronic correspondence during her four years in office.
It was probably not against the law.
But sceptics say she did it to have total control over her correspondence, becoming the sole arbiter of what should and shouldn't be provided to the government, made public via freedom of information requests or turned over to interested parties, such as the congressional committee investigating an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Critics have also expressed concern that the system made her emails more vulnerable to being hacked.
Yes. Mrs Clinton is far from alone. Others have sometimes relied on personal email for official business.
But unlike them, Mrs Clinton used her personal email address exclusively.

She was the first rape victim in the UK to waive her anonymity, and went on to help hundreds - if not thousands - of women cope with their experiences.
After her death on 5 January, two women who were comforted by the mother-of-three after their lives were shattered by devastating sexual attacks, talk about the impact she had.
Clare, not her real name, said her daughter was attacked in broad daylight in 2012. The offender has never been caught.
She said she saw her daughter go from being confident and happy to frightened and introverted.
But they found Ms Saward, from Hednesford in Staffordshire, to be "consistently supportive" - which has led to her daughter changing her career choice to follow in her footsteps as an advocate for women who have been raped.
"I knew Jill, because my daughter was sexually attacked several years ago, and around the time this happened, I heard Jill being interviewed on the radio and remembered what had happened to her well.
"I sent her a message saying how inspiring and helpful I had found listening to her and telling her about my daughter, and also saying how brilliantly I thought the radio interview had gone.
"To my surprise Jill responded to me immediately, and so openly and humbly that I was moved to tears."
Ms Saward told her she did not always feel confident being interviewed, feeling self-conscious and inadequate, and that she was grateful for Clare's positive feedback.
"Over the years I always contacted her after that, whenever I heard her on the radio, saw her on TV or read her quoted in the press or online.
"She responded each and every time, graciously and generously, and was discreetly, but consistently, supportive to us both - and this undoubtedly played no small part in our healing.
"I was absolutely devastated to hear the news of her death and mourn the loss of this wonderful woman who helped our family - amongst I'm sure, thousands of others - deal with our pain and trauma by repeatedly sharing her own pain, trauma and recovery in the public domain.
"Jill's legacy will live on in many ways.
"In our family she will always be a legendary figure, who demonstrated to us all how gentleness and humility can go hand-in-hand with bravery and boldness... and of this are the true heroes and warriors of our time made."
Helen Austin was raped by strangers 10 years ago. Her attacker has also never been apprehended. She subsequently wrote an anonymous blog about what happened to her, which led to Ms Saward tracking her down to "reach out" to her.
They went on to become good friends, speaking almost daily.
"I would not be where I am now without Jill's lifeline support and friendship," she said.
"When I chose to come out from anonymous writing she supported me to think through the practicalities. The potential impact... on my family and friends and people who knew me, but didn't know my 'story' as such.
"She taught me that being raped is part of our story. We cannot lose that.
"It will never not be part of our lives now, but we can move forward - not let it be our only identity."
When she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder a few years ago, she said Ms Saward encouraged her to have progressional counselling and to talk to her mother about her rape - which was only last year, because she had wanted to "protect" her from it.
"Jill has taught me so much about who I am and what I can do with my voice."
She said she was struck by the warmth and humour of a woman who had done "groundbreaking" work to take the stigma away from rape victims.
"There would be times when we would be having really deep conversations, and then she would just say something that would lighten the tension," she said.
"As I moved forward with my story, Jill was always a constant encouragement."
Ms Saward's husband, Gavin Drake, said his wife's help for Ms Austin was typical of her helping hand away from the cameras and campaigning.
"She enjoyed giving joy and fun to people," he said.
"What's emerged in the week or so since Jill's death is just the amount of people that she was communicating with, victims and others she was supporting.
"We've received thousands of messages from people across the world who've said about how these messages and these conversations that she was having online, which I didn't know about because the nature of her work of course is confidential.
"I knew she was doing it, but even I had no idea the extent of the number of people she was supporting."
Alison Boydell co-founded the JURIES campaign group with Ms Saward, which tries to educate jurors on the stereotypes that can surround rape cases.
The pair initially engaged on social media in 2014 where they would have "heated debates" and vent their frustrations at the low conviction rates of those accused of rape, citing a need to educate jurors "about the realities of rape and sexual violence". This led them to form their charity.
"I've known about her and admired her from afar from the late 1980s and 90s," she said.
"I found her, and still find her, to be an incredibly courageous and inspiring woman and indefatigable, brave, honest."
After the attack at her father's vicarage, Ms Saward was subsequently labelled the Ealing vicarage rape victim. But she said she made no complaint about the tag as it enabled her to challenge politicians, something Ms Boydell praised her for.
"The way she spoke about her own rape and the way that she challenged politicians and really kept sexual violence and rape on the political agenda was absolutely amazing," she said.
"When I got to meet her, it was just a delight... because there was so much more to her.
"She had a fantastic sense of humour, an amazing sense of irony - really great friend, incredibly supportive. She supported a lot of people individually and is going to be sorely missed."
Her sudden death at 51 from a stroke was "tragic" but Ms Boydell said her decision to donate her organs was "an amazing gift", showing how selfless she was right up to the end. | Jill Saward became an ardent campaigner for victims of sexual assaults after she was raped during a burglary at her father's vicarage in 1986. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38532812"} | 1,420 | 42 | 0.368805 | 1.118973 | -0.452241 | 1.576923 | 49.346154 | 0.730769 |
Macmillan Cancer Support estimated that 220,000 people living in Scotland have been diagnosed with cancer.
That is a record high and an increase of around 33,000 since 2010.
The charity is calling for a "complete transformation" of the way people are supported after their treatment ends to cope with long term impacts of the disease.
These can range from physical side effects like extreme fatigue to psychological problems.
Macmillan said that around one in four people across the UK who has been diagnosed with cancer faces poor health or disability after treatment, while many also face significant emotional, financial and practical problems.
Janice Preston, head of Macmillan in Scotland, said: "The current NHS system was not set up to deal with the needs of such a huge number of people who have survived cancer but who often continue to require considerable support.
"It is vital the Scottish government, NHS and social care services use the forthcoming integration of health and social care to recognise the scale of the challenge and commit to making the big changes needed to meet it."
The increase in people living with cancer is said to be largely due to improvements in survival and detection, and a growing and ageing population.
Ms Preston told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland: "In general the rise is for very good reasons. There are more people living longer in general, the population is getting much older."
"In addition to that the treatments are much better so in general people are living much longer after their cancer, not everyone so that needs to improve, but in general people are living longer."
The Scottish government, Macmillan Cancer Support, NHS Scotland and local authorities are already working together to support a redesign of care following active treatment of cancer via the Transforming Care After Treatment programme.
Macmillan said lessons learned from this programme must be used to transform how patients are supported throughout Scotland.
Cancer patient, Nelson McFarlane told Radio Scotland medical treatment of the disease is just the beginning: "The collateral damage that is caused by cancer diagnosis is generally underestimated by people because there's all the issues of isolation and financial issues and just everyday family factors like childcare and so on, are all affected by cancer. | The number of people with cancer in Scotland has risen by 18% in five years, according to new figures. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "30694735"} | 445 | 24 | 0.488558 | 1.195895 | -0.401323 | 1.090909 | 19.590909 | 0.636364 |

Sports marketing company ISL paid a total of $100m to officials including former Fifa president Joao Havelange and ex-Fifa executive Ricardo Teixeira.
In return, ISL was granted lucrative television and marketing rights throughout the 1990s.
Blatter denied knowing about the bribes and took no action.
He even allowed Teixeira to take part in the notorious vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Panorama: Fifa, Sepp Blatter and Me is on BBC One at 20:30 GMT on Monday, 7 December and available to watch later via BBC iPlayer
Panorama reporter Andrew Jennings has seen a letter obtained by America's Federal Bureau of Investigation which casts doubt on Blatter's denial.
The letter, apparently written by Havelange, talks about the payments he received from ISL. It says Blatter had "full knowledge of all activities" and was "always apprised" of them.
The letter is included in an FBI request to the Swiss authorities for help with their investigation. They ask for the file of an earlier Swiss investigation into the ISL bribes and they say "among other things, the prosecutor is investigating Havelange's statements implicating Blatter".
In 2010, Blatter suppressed a Swiss legal finding that both Havelange and Teixeria had received bribes from ISL. In 2013, Blatter told a Fifa ethics committee inquiry he was unaware of the bribery. He was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Blatter, who says he will stand down as head of football's world governing body in February 2016, declined to respond to any allegations put to him.
The 79-year-old is serving a provisional 90-day suspension from Fifa and faces a hearing with the body's ethics judge in mid-December.
Damian Collins MP tells Panorama Blatter's behaviour was extraordinary. He says: "You have to ask yourself why did he seek to protect these people, and not just protect them but allow them to continue to play an active role in some of Fifa's most important decisions?"
The programme also reveals new evidence about how much money the Qataris spent winning the right to host the 2022 World Cup.
Lord Triesman, a former Football Association chairman, was given the figure by sources close to British intelligence.
"I was told by two sources that have always been very reliable with good information, good intelligence, that the sum that Qatar had spent on their bid was £117m."
This is six times what England spent on its bid for the 2018 World Cup, and almost 12 times the American expenditure on their 2022 bid.
Qatar's bid chairman did not respond to correspondence from Panorama.
Lord Triesman said: "I take the straightforward view that it should be possible when you look at the money that people have spent to know exactly how it was spent and whether it was legitimate or not.
"In a way the problem is that, goodness knows, it's not transparent enough for anyone to know."
Last Thursday, US attorney general Loretta Lynch announced a further 16 Fifa officials and associates have been indicted as part of the FBI's ongoing investigation into the organisation.
Gary Lineker, who supported England's 2018 World Cup bid, tells Panorama: "It makes me feel nauseous at the levels of corruption in a sport that has been a huge part of my life and is a huge part of many people's lives right around the world.
"Part of me hopes that with everything being so clearly rotten, we can come out and somehow start again and, and correct it.

Willie Clarke, who was first elected to Fife Council in 1973, stepped down on Wednesday for personal reasons.
The 80-year-old technically sat as an independent in recent years due to ballot paper rules, but still identifies himself as a Communist.
He said he hoped the movement could "pick up strength" again in the future.
A Fife Council spokeswoman said a date had not yet been set for a by-election to replace Mr Clarke.
The Ballingry resident served on the education and social work committees during his four decades in public office.
There are elections to all of Scotland's councils in 2017, but Mr Clarke told the Edinburgh Evening News that it was "time to call it a day" now due to personal reasons.
He said: "It has been a hard decision to make. I had hoped to see things through to the council elections next May, but over the past few months one or two problems have made it difficult to be able to be as committed as I want to be to this very important job."
Scottish Labour deputy leader Alex Rowley, who was elected to The Lochs ward alongside Mr Clarke in 2011, paid tribute to him as "a great servant to the people".
He added: "Willie has been a great inspiration and friend to so many people including myself, and we owe him a great debt of gratitude for all the work he has put in."

Morgan Ferrier's fifth-minute effort looked like it would be enough for the hosts after the 24-year-old evaded Blaine Hudson to get in behind and tap the ball home.
After that the game became scrappy, with neither side creating many clear-cut chances, although Chester's Ryan Astles was forced into a goal-line clearance after 70 minutes to block a Matthew Paine drive.
Just when it looked like Chester boss Jon McCarthy was staring at a fourth defeat in his first five games, Durrell picked the ball up around halfway, spotted Grant Smith off his line and struck from distance to level things up with seven minutes remaining.

John Ridgway, 75, from Dunfermline, started abusing his first victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - in April 1974 when she was just eight.
The retired lorry driver continued to sexually assault the young girl until April 1981. He had denied the charges.
The court heard how Ridgway then abused another three children. He was found guilty of eight sexual assault charges.
His offences stopped in October 1996 when his victims spoke to the police.
At the High Court in Glasgow Judge John Morris put Ridgway on the sex offenders' register and told him: "The jury convicted you of a series of sex offences against young girls."
The court heard he started abusing his first victim at a house in Dunfermline in April 1974 and continued to abuse her until April 1981.
He then repeatedly sexually assaulted a girl at a house in Dunfermline between April 1977 and April 1979.
She was 14 when the abuse started.
Ridgway abused another girl, from the age of 10, on various occasions between April 1976 and April 1978, also at a house in Dunfermline.
Then on various occasions between October 1985 and October 1996, Ridgway sexually assaulted another young girl at an address in Dunfermline.
She was five when the abuse started.
Ridgway gave evidence in his own defence.
He said he was innocent and claimed his victims had all "collaborated against me."
Prosecutor Shirley McKenna said the pensioner had one previous conviction from 25 years ago for assault to severe injury.
Defence counsel Michael Anderson said: "He is an elderly man and this will be his first sentence of imprisonment.
"The charges he was convicted of are less serious than those he was originally charged with." | A pensioner who sexually assaulted four girls over a 22-year period has been jailed for seven years. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39478494"} | 396 | 28 | 0.50781 | 1.216887 | -0.953996 | 0.65 | 16.9 | 0.55 |

With a 1-0 first-leg lead, City scored an away goal in the 64th minute when England striker Toni Duggan's superb swivel and shot went in off the post.
Nanna Christiansen stabbed the ball in moments later to make it 1-1.
But Brondby rarely looked likely to overturn a resilient City side's 2-1 aggregate lead after that.
The English league champions would have had to concede a further two goals to be knocked out and, in the end, were deserved winners and will join Europe's elite in the last eight in March.
City - the last remaining British side in this season's competition - had the two best chances of the first half but Nikita Parris shot over from 15 yards shortly after Duggan's close-range header had been brilliantly saved on the line.
After the break, midfielder Jill Scott saw a powerful header from a corner cleared off the line before a sweet half-volley from Parris clipped the woodwork, as the visitors pushed for the tie's decisive goal.
And Duggan found it soon afterwards, showing fine technique to send an excellent shot on the turn in off the post from outside the area.
Brondby striker Christansen gave the hosts hope of a comeback by scoring from six yards - the first goal to be scored against City in European football.
But a late fightback with further goals would have been unrepresentative of the level of control Nick Cushing's side had on the tie over the two legs, with the English midfield trio of Scott, Isobel Christiansen and Keira Walsh impressing throughout.

Seven of the Yorkshire top nine reached double figures, but Gary Ballance's 30 off 32 balls top scored in 170 all out.
All six Worcestershire bowlers took wickets, led by debutant George Rhodes (2-34), Jack Shantry (2-10), Leach (2-30) and Brett D'Oliveira (2-49).
The visitors needed only 25.3 overs to reach 171-3 as Leach was assisted by Tom Kohler-Cadmore (42).
Worcestershire's opening pair put on 107 for the first wicket in 12.4 overs before both fell within four balls of each other, but not before Leach had blasted 22 from one Tim Bresnan over.
Joe Clarke (26) and captain Daryl Mitchell (23 not out) saw the visitors home to wrap up an emphatic victory.
It was a second crushing victory for Worcestershire over Yorkshire inside a week, after the Pears' seven-wicket T20 Blast victory on 2 June.
Yorkshire, playing their first One-Day Cup game of the season, struggled after electing to bat and Bresnan, who was last man out for 24, was the second-highest scorer of their innings.
Rhodes, who has come through the Worcestershire youth system and is the son of the club's director of cricket Steve Rhodes, took the wickets of namesake Will Rhodes (17) and Alex Lees (19) in his tidy 10-over spell.
The 22-year-old became the third generation of the Rhodes family to play first-class cricket - his grandfather Billy, who was born in Yorkshire, played for Nottinghamshire between 1961 and 1964.
Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon revealed that injured pace bowler Jack Brooks could be out for up to a month with the leg injury he suffered bowling in the T20 Roses match at Old Trafford.
Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We have just got to bat better. That is the bottom line. Our batsmen have not got that confidence at the moment.
"They are hoping rather than expecting and are not in their best form. There is a bit of fear of getting out as opposed to scoring runs.
"But fair play to Worcestershire who have gone for getting the runs quickly and had the batsmen at the top of the order to do the job."
Worcestershire all-rounder Joe Leach told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Jack and myself managed to get them in an early stranglehold and we were able to keep them quiet.
"We put a foot on their throat and never let it off. Spin was difficult to play and George Rhodes was outstanding on his debut. For a lad to come in on a Test ground, with the game on TV, he played very well indeed.
"I got a late nod to open the batting. It was felt that it was best for the top of the order to score quickly and put a dent in the chase. I was able to give it a tonk. There wasn't much culture." | Joe Leach smashed 63 from 35 balls to help Worcestershire to a seven-wicket One-Day Cup victory at Yorkshire. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36470648"} | 670 | 32 | 0.433157 | 1.087482 | -0.287344 | 1.782609 | 25.782609 | 0.826087 |
Prof Donald Meek said the 12-year-old Inverness-based organisation needed to "look seriously" at its purpose.
Last month, its chief executive Iain Campbell quit after three months in the job.
The board said it was unable to directly to the remarks, but said work had started towards an evaluation.
Joe Moore, who does not speak Gaelic, has been appointed interim chief executive following Mr Campbell's resignation.
Prof Meek said: "When a chairman departs after three months that is bad news.
"It is bad news for the Gaels but it is also giving a bad impression of the Gaels to the rest of Scotland.
"The board has got to look seriously at its own purpose. There needs to be a thorough review and audit of whether it is really doing what it ought to have been doing."
He said the board had "lost its way", adding: "A review of what the board is doing is long overdue."

Dalian Atkinson, who played for clubs including Aston Villa and Ipswich Town, died aged 48 in August following the incident in Telford, Shropshire.
His funeral will be held on Saturday.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating and two West Mercia police officers are under criminal investigation.
Mr Atkinson's siblings said they want the funeral to be a celebration of his life but expressed frustration at not knowing "why such force was used" by police.
In their joint statement, Mr Atkinson's family said he had struggled to come to terms with a serious illness affecting his kidneys during the last six months of his life.
His sister Elaine said: "The way that he died while he was so vulnerable casts such a dark shadow over everything.
"Every day is filled with agony and frustration because we still do not know what happened nor understand why such force was used on him."
His siblings described him as "a kind, caring and protective brother" who "always brought life and energy to family gatherings".
They said it was "heart-breaking" to see his health deteriorate with pneumonia, "leaving his light and energy significantly reduced".
His family said he had spoken to his sister Otis on the evening before he died.
They said Mr Atkinson told her: "All I ever wanted was to make people happy.
"I played football the way that I did because I wanted to entertain.
"I wanted everyone to go home with smiles on their faces."

The question: Andrew Smith asks whether remaining in the EU will mean Britain will have to join the euro.
The answer: The UK negotiated a permanent opt-out from the European Monetary Union as part of the Maastricht Treaty, signed in 1992. Like any EU Treaty, this is a binding agreement between EU member states. So this means that it is up to Britain to decide whether to join the euro in future or not.
As part of the EU reform deal for the UK, agreed at the EU summit in February, the European Council reiterated the UK's entitlement "not to adopt the euro and therefore to keep the British pound sterling as its currency".
Things would look different if the UK left the European Union in June and decided to join again at a later date. The EU stipulates that all new members are expected to adopt the euro, if they meet the necessary criteria. The same rules would apply to the UK, unless it was able to negotiate a new opt-out.
The question: Frances Nugent wants to know whether the EU is banning British kettles.
The answer: The European Commission is planning the next round of products that will be regulated under the EU's Ecodesign Directive. This directive sets minimum requirements for how energy efficient products should be. Some products that have been already been regulated include vacuum cleaners. For example, since 1 September 2014, there has been a ban on vacuum cleaners rated above 1,600 watts.
Kettles are being considered under the directive, but, as of yet, no decision has been taken as to whether to regulate them. Even after kettles have been reviewed in this latest batch of products that are being looked at, they may not be subject to any new regulations or might just be given an energy label.
The question: Tony Daly from Wiltshire wants to know if workers' rights would be lost if we left the EU.
The answer: A significant amount of UK employment law comes from the EU. If the UK votes to leave the EU on 23 June then the UK government needs to decide which EU laws to keep, amend or scrap. So anything - including holiday pay, agency worker rights, paternity and maternity pay - could be under threat.
Employers' associations might seize the opportunity to try to get something done about some of the more controversial aspects of EU employment laws.
For example, the Institute of Directors was very unhappy about the European Court of Justice ruling that regular overtime be included in holiday pay.
And there are some voices supporting Brexit who want to limit the application of the Working Time Directive, which governs the hours employees in the EU can be asked to work.
But trade unions, the Labour Party and many Conservatives could oppose any such move.
The question: Ben Crowe wants us to explain if Prime Minister David Cameron's EU reform negotiations changed the way EU accounts are audited.
The answer: No, the prime minister's negotiations have not changed the way the EU accounts are audited. The EU accounts are scrutinised by the Court of Auditors. This is an independent body which checks whether the EU accounts correctly reflect the spending of the EU budget.
Around 80% of the EU budget is managed by member states themselves, and not by EU institutions. The EU transfers funds to the national treasuries and then the countries themselves decide which projects to spend the money on.
Every year since 2007, the auditors pointed out that EU countries, once they receive the EU funds, misuse about 4.4% of the total budget, according to the latest figures released in 2014.
Auditors have called on EU countries to take more care in their spending. In 2014, the court found that €666m (£524m) from the EU fund that is given to countries to finance projects in underdeveloped areas, was "poor value for money".
The question: Richard Bennett asks whether the EU stopped global companies asset-stripping British firms.
The answer: Asset-stripping occurs when private companies buy other companies in order to break them up. In 2010, the EU approved a directive that included rules to try to deter private companies from doing this. The directive came into effect in 2013 and will be reviewed by the Commission next year. The Financial Conduct Authority updated its rules in 2013 to include this directive in UK legislation.
But the UK had already brought in its own rules in 2011, after US based company, Kraft, took over Cadbury in 2010. These rules demanded more information from bidders about their intentions after the purchase, particularly on areas like job cuts.
The 2013 rules allowed companies to be protected from asset-stripping for two years after they were sold.
The Financial Conduct Authority said it had not carried out any analysis on the impact of the two sets of rules, so it is very difficult to measure what the EU rules have meant for British companies.

The Liberal Democrat candidate told the BBC that the schemes had seen "a lot of fraud going on, even money laundering".
The Conservatives have said they would extend the right-to-buy for tenants of housing associations.
Lib Dems would try to "dissuade" the Tories from pursuing the policy if they were in coalition again, Mr Davey said.
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government gave tenants the right to buy their council houses in the 1980s. At the moment, council house tenants in England can buy their home at a discount of up to £103,900.
A key pledge of the Conservatives' 2015 manifesto is the extension of right-to-buy to tenants of housing associations - private, not-for-profit bodies that provide low-cost housing.
Under current rules, about 800,000 housing association tenants have a "right to acquire" their homes under smaller discounts, but the Conservatives would offer those people the same reductions as for those in local authority homes.
And they would extend the scheme to those who currently have no purchase rights at all, estimated to be about 500,000 people, claiming it could benefit 1.3 million people in total.
The Conservatives say every house purchased will be replaced "on a one-for-one basis" with more affordable homes and no-one will be forced to leave their home. Mr Cameron said the policy was a sign that "the dream of a property-owning democracy is alive".
Mr Davey, energy secretary since 2012 in the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition, told BBC One's Sunday Politics London: "One of the reasons that we would be very strongly against it is because of the fraud we're seeing.
"It's not talked about very much but, because they're giving such huge discounts, there's a lot of fraud going on - even money laundering. And I think people need to look at this right to buy and how it's actually operating in practice.
"It's extraordinarily worrying what we're seeing in councils up and down the country, including in London."
Pressed on whether the Lib Dems would "allow" the policy if they formed another coalition with the Conservatives after the 7 May election, Mr Davey said: "It would be something we would dissuade them from, because it is extraordinarily bad for social housing.
"What we want to see is a lot more houses built."
Mr Davey is not the first person to believe that the high profits to be made are making the right to buy scheme increasingly vulnerable to exploitation.
In October 2014 an Audit Commission annual report showed a 400% increase in right-to-buy fraud in London.
In 2013 the coalition government had offered council tenants in London a £100,000 cash discount, "in recognition of higher property prices in the capital".
The extension of right to buy would be funded, the Conservatives say, by new rules forcing councils to sell properties ranked in the most expensive third of their type in the local area, once they become vacant, with every house purchased replaced "on a one-for-one basis". | The "huge discounts" offered in right-to-buy schemes have led to fraud, Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey has claimed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32373944"} | 673 | 31 | 0.508774 | 1.322329 | 0.67612 | 2 | 21.892857 | 0.785714 |

Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan would be executed together because they had committed their crime at the same time, Attorney General MS Prasetyo said.
Sukumaran's appeal for clemency was rejected last week. Chan is still waiting for a response to his appeal.
Indonesia's use of the death penalty in drugs cases has been widely criticised.
Australia opposes the death penalty and its government has said it will continue to campaign for its citizens who are facing execution abroad.
Rights group Amnesty International has urged the Indonesian government to halt executions immediately, and eventually abolish the death penalty.
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws. The country resumed executions in 2013 after an unofficial four-year moratorium.
No executions were carried out in 2014. However, President Joko Widodo has said he will not grant clemency to anyone on death row who was convicted of drugs offences.
Six people are due to be executed this Sunday, Mr Prasetyo said. Five of the six have foreign citizenship. The executions will mark the first use of the death penalty since Mr Widodo took office in October.
No date has been set for the execution of Sukumaran and Chan, and Chan has yet to receive a response from the Indonesian president to his appeal for a pardon.
Mr Prasetyo told reporters that the men would have their sentences carried out simultaneously.
"When a crime is committed by more than one person, the execution must be conducted at the same time," he said. "So Myuran will wait for his turn."
Sukumaran, from Sydney, was one of nine Australians arrested in Bali in April 2005 with more than 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin.
He and Chan were named as ring leaders of the group and sentenced to death in 2006.
The eight men and one woman of the Bali Nine were aged between 18 and 28 at the time of their arrests.
Following various appeals, the other seven are now serving either life or 20 years in prison.

Doing innovative things with data and technology is often called the "digital economy" - this week we are looking at what is being done to grow it in Wales.
Here, Prof Tom Crick, a computer scientist at Cardiff Metropolitan University, asks whether our children are being taught sufficient digital skills.
In 2011, I was asked by BBC Wales to report on why ICT lessons needed to change in Wales.
Back then I was campaigning to change the curriculum. We should not just develop consumers of technology in schools, but challenge pupils to be makers and creators.
The Welsh Government agreed with the recommendations of the panel I co-chaired in 2013, and now changes are starting to be made.
Something called the Digital Competency Framework gives advice to schools and teachers on how to incorporate digital skills across all subjects.
It could be how to stay safe online, how to share information, how to research and evaluate sources or solve a problem with basic programming code.
When I visited Crickhowell High School in Powys recently, head teacher Jackie Parker told me they had been planning for teaching more digital skills for several years.
Students Jenni and Mali both told me about how they had used tablets and laptops from primary school and now in their first year of high school more and more.
It is great to see this progress and talk to a head who agreed that digital skills are every bit as important now as reading or writing.
But the aim is for all schools to be effectively using technology every day to help pupils solve real-world problems.
A group of assembly members has already raised concerns about converting the vision of this new curriculum into something tangible in the classroom.
So why are these skills so important?
Steve Jones runs a business in Cwmbran, Torfaen, which develops comparison websites.
He has an insurance industry background, but after jobs losses there he saw a gap in the market.
With so much data available from cars, drivers, phones and everywhere else in our lives, his business can create innovative new digital products and services.
But it can only do that with workers who are digitally-savvy - who can analyse data, write programs, interrogate sources.
He told me about the "big disparity" in terms of what his children are taught in school and what he feels they will need to work in a digitally-based business like his.
Some countries have been pushing high-value digital skills at all levels of education for a number of years.
Professor Judith Gal-Ezer, a computer scientist from The Open University of Israel, was part of the curriculum review in Israel some 20 years ago when it started to focus on digital skills.
She said: "We then called it the new curriculum for computer science in high school and it was a kind of breakthrough. Digital skills is not an issue. It's there everywhere in schools."
My own University, Cardiff Met, has just announced plans for a new school of technologies to develop digital media, data science, and design.
Other universities are also looking to link better with industry to develop digital skills too.
So yes, we are improving the education system, but we also need the high-value jobs for people to go into rather than move elsewhere.
Now, more than ever, we need a coherent and long-term commitment from the Welsh Government for "Digital Wales", from skills to infrastructure and the wider digital ecosystem.
Other countries have made their "digital pitch" — from Israel to South Korea to Estonia - all do innovative things with data and technology.
What will be the unique selling point here in Wales, so we can compete in and ultimately lead these high-value digital industries?
A Welsh Government spokesman said in response: "Wales is already the fastest growing digital economy outside London, with a tech sector that employs some 40,000 people and is worth over £8bn in turnover to the Welsh economy
"The Welsh Government has invested in digital infrastructure to underpin this growth, with Superfast Cymru enabling over 630,000 premises throughout Wales to gain access superfast broadband."
He added: "We are also investing in future generations through exciting projects such as the National Software Academy, which uniquely brings business in to the classroom." | In the past, relative prosperity in Wales came from iron, coal and heavy industry - but where will we make money and improve our economy in the future? | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39455837"} | 884 | 33 | 0.395853 | 1.095617 | 0.279129 | 0.83871 | 27.225806 | 0.645161 |
3D prints of the remains of Homo naledi will be on display at the NHM's Science Uncovered event.
They were given to the institution by the Johannesburg discovery team.
Bones from perhaps 15 of the human-like creatures were recovered from a cave complex not far from the city.
It is the biggest haul of fossil hominin remains ever identified on the African continent.
The researchers - led by Lee Berger of Wits University - have scanned the bones to make faithful copies, and these have now been shared with the London museum.
At Science Uncovered, Dr Louise Humphrey will be explaining their significance and what they could tell us about human origins.
"I think the effect on the field is transformative," she told BBC News, "not just because the morphology indicates a new species, but because there are so many unanswered questions.
"We don't yet know how old these fossils are. We don't know yet whether there will be full bodies in this chamber, or nearby chambers.
"The number of finds from a single fossil locality is unprecedented. There are apparently three small babies and three small children, some older children as well as some adults."
NHM visitors will get to see a model of a skull. There are also examples of a hand, a foot, and some jaws.
They are all small because, even as adults, naledi is diminutive, perhaps standing no taller than about 1.5m (5ft).
Wits University has previously shared casts of other fossils it is working on, including those of a more ancient creature called Australopithecus sediba, which was also found in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in Gauteng province. These too will be available on Friday to compare and contrast.
There are probably two major unanswered questions surrounding H. naledi at the moment.
One concerns the age of the fossils. If any dating technique has been used to try to establish this, the results have not been released.
Currently, it is being assumed they are very ancient - maybe a couple of million years old - purely on the basis that some features seen in the bones look very primitive.
The second major question centres on what the remains were doing in the Rising Star cave complex.
The Wits team has mooted the possibility that naledi may have disposed of its dead there deliberately. That is a remarkable proposition if the creature is as old as has been suggested.
But it is perplexing to think how so many individuals could navigate their way into such a deep cave.
The scientists found the remains in an opening at the bottom of a very narrow chute. But even to get to the chute, the researchers had to crawl through other narrow gaps and make some steep climbs.
How naledi managed this is inexplicable. It is unlikely this creature had access to torches; controlled use of fire came much later in history.
Already, some furious arguments have surfaced over the interpretations put forward by the Wits team.
Rival researchers have even questioned whether the fossil haul actually represents two or more different species, or just a slightly different version of a species we have seen before.
"Not everyone is going to agree with Lee Berger's team. But all credit to them - they've put the material out," commented Prof Chris Stringer from the NHM.
"If you don't like their interpretation of the fossils, you can download the files and print your own. You can draw your own conclusions," Prof Stringer told the BBC.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was committed to "fight this evil, to find the perpetrators [and] to bring them to justice".
The 18-month-old boy's parents and four-year-old brother were seriously injured in the attack in Duma.
Palestinian officials said they held Israel "fully responsible".
Slogans in Hebrew, including the word "revenge", were found sprayed on a wall of one of two firebombed houses.
Mr Netanyahu said the attack which killed Ali Saad Dawabsha was "an act of terrorism in every respect".
He and the Israeli president paid separate visits to Ali's brother, Ahmed, who is being treated along with his parents at specialist burns hospitals in Israel.
Mr Netanyahu also condemned the attack in a rare telephone conversation with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
However the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), which dominates the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, said it held the Israeli government "fully responsible for the brutal assassination".
"This is a direct consequence of decades of impunity given by the Israeli government to settler terrorism," it said.
The US State Department denounced what it called a "vicious terrorist attack", while urging Israel and the Palestinians to "avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this tragic incident".
UN chief Ban Ki-moon also described the baby's death as a "terrorist act" and called for the perpetrators to face justice.
While it is unclear what the word "revenge" referred to, the incident resembles what have become known as "price tag" attacks.
Such attacks usually involve acts of vandalism or arson by Jewish extremists as retribution for actions taken by the Israeli government against Jewish settlements or unauthorised outposts in the West Bank, or for violence by Palestinians.
In the overnight attack, Palestinian officials said up to four assailants threw firebombs at the houses, one of which was empty.
Resident Ibrahim Dawabsha told Reuters news agency he heard people shouting for help.
"We found the parents outside with burns, they said there was another son in the house, we brought him out and then they said there was another boy inside, but we couldn't reach the bedroom because of the fire. He was left inside until rescue forces came," he said.
Pictures from the scene of the attack showed at least one of the buildings completely gutted, with only charred remains left.
In another incident on Friday, officials in Gaza said Israeli troops shot dead one man and wounded another near the security fence that marks Israel's border.
Israel confirmed soldiers had fired on the men but did not know their condition.
The killing of the Palestinian child comes amid heightened tensions between the Israeli state, Jewish settlers and Palestinians in recent days.
On Wednesday, settlers scuffled with police as Israeli authorities demolished two partially built blocks which the high court had ruled were built illegally on Palestinian-owned land, in the settlement of Beit El.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, whose fragile coalition includes pro-settler parties, immediately authorised a start to the construction of 300 planned homes in the settlement, drawing ire from the Palestinians.
Palestinians regard settlements as a major obstacle to building a sought-after state in contiguous territory in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. | Israel has vowed to catch arsonists, suspected to be Jewish settlers, who killed a Palestinian infant in a firebomb attack on a West Bank village. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33739351"} | 781 | 40 | 0.455326 | 1.125334 | 0.108148 | 1.035714 | 24.357143 | 0.678571 |
It means that UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will not have any input into this decision in the future.
In England, Scotland and Wales men can give blood if they have not had sex with another man for at least a year.
In Northern Ireland there is a lifetime ban on gay men donating blood.
The court dismissed an earlier ruling that former health minister Edwin Poots had acted irrationally or with apparent bias by keeping the ban in place.
The judges also held there was no basis for concluding that Mr Poots' decision had been pre-determined by his Christian beliefs.
By a 2-1 majority, the judges concluded the current maintenance of the lifetime ban was not "disproportionate or contrary to EU law".
The ban on gay men donating blood, which was put in place during the 1980s AIDS threat, was lifted in England, Scotland and Wales in November 2011.
The courts in Northern Ireland have been deliberating the issue since then.
Pervious health ministers Edwin Poots and Jim Wells had said the prohibition should be kept in place in Northern Ireland on the basis of ensuring public safety.
Delivering their verdict on Wednesday, the three judges, led by Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan, rejected the assessment of an earlier ruling that Mr Poots, had acted with irrationality or apparent bias in not adopting the same policy as the rest of the UK.
Sir Declan said: "There is no basis for the conclusion that the minister's decision in this case was pre-determined by his Christian beliefs, and there is ample evidence to indicate that the minister approached the decision-making by evaluating the competing factors before adopting on a precautionary basis the status quo."
He added: "We do not consider that the fair minded and informed observer could conclude that there was a real risk of apparent bias."
The court ruled that there was ample evidence to indicate that Mr Poots reached his decision by evaluating the competing factors, before adopting the status quo.
The current health minister Simon Hamilton has indicated that he is prepared to lift the ban if the government's Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (SaBTO) says it is safe to do so.
Welcoming the judgement on Wednesday, Mr Hamilton said his department had recently received "substantial new evidence" from SaBTO.
"I will, as the judgement advises, carefully consider this without delay," he said.
"I have already made it clear that I would adopt the same policy on blood donations from MSM as the rest of the UK if evidence confirms that the current system in GB has not presented any significant additional risk to the safety of blood donations, or indeed affirms some recent findings that blood safety has been increased in GB."
John O'Doherty, Director of The Rainbow Project, which promotes the rights of the LGBT community, expressed disappointment at Wednesday's judgement.
"It is disappointing that they failed to recognise that there is no reasonable, rational or medical reason to maintain this lifetime ban," said Mr O'Doherty.
"We would once again urge Minister Hamilton to accept the advice given by the experts in SaBTO and adopt the one year deferral which exists in all other parts of the UK.
"This issue has been debated for over five years and tens of thousands of pounds of public funds have been spent on maintaining a lifetime ban.
"While the Minister may state that he has not yet made a decision, any right-thinking person would accept that five years is enough time to come to a decision." | The Court of Appeal in Belfast has ruled that Stormont's Health Minister should decide whether a lifetime ban on gay men giving blood in Northern Ireland should be lifted. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35822913"} | 779 | 36 | 0.512045 | 1.394691 | 0.297172 | 2.225806 | 22.516129 | 0.806452 |
The claim: Pensioners would be £872 worse off if the triple-lock was taken away. The triple-lock is a commitment to raise the basic state pension by average earnings, inflation or 2.5%, whichever is higher.
Reality Check verdict: In the long-term, pensioners would be worse off without the triple-lock. How much worse off would depend on what replaces it. Ian Blackford's figure is a forecast of what would happen if the state pension was only increased in line with inflation predictions for the next five years. He appears to have misspoken, because the research actually said that pensioners would lose £817 over five years.
Responding to a question from Angus Robertson, the SNP's leader in Westminster, she pledged that pensioners' incomes would continue to rise, but would not specify by how much.
The government is currently committed to maintaining the pension triple-lock until 2020, which means it will raise the basic state pension by average earnings, inflation or 2.5%, whichever is higher.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP are all committed to maintaining the triple-lock.
But the Work and Pensions Committee has said it should be scrapped on the grounds that it is "unsustainable" and "unfair" on younger families.
It suggested that pensions should rise in line with earnings and be protected against inflation being higher than earnings, but with no minimum annual increase.
John Cridland, who published a report on the future of state pensions last month, suggested that the triple-lock would also eventually need to be abandoned in favour of an earnings link.
In the long-term, the triple-lock is a big issue, with the number of people of pension age per person of working age forecast by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to rise considerably over the next 50 years.
Speaking on BBC Newsnight, Mr Blackford cited research from the House of Commons Library, which found that "over a five-year period, pensioners would be £872 worse off if the triple lock was taken away".
Giving a bit more detail, the library was asked to take Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts for the next five years of inflation and average earnings figures.
It then compared what would happen to pensions under different scenarios.
It turned out that protecting it in line with with earnings would make almost no difference, because average earnings are expected to be more than 2.5% throughout the period.
Protecting only in line with inflation would cost a total of £642 over five years for a pensioner on the basic state pension and £817 over five years for someone on the new state pension.
Mr Blackford presumably remembered that figure wrongly when he said it would cost £872.
Clearly these figures are based on forecasts for what will happen in the future, which are uncertain. An alternative is to look at how much the triple-lock has cost in the past as the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has done.
The triple-lock makes a particularly big difference in periods of relatively low earnings growth and low inflation as the UK has experienced recently.
It found that the triple-lock had cost about an extra £6bn a year compared with only protecting with earnings and £4bn a year compared with adjusting in line with inflation.
The IFS made this chart showing the difference in the percentage of national income spent on the state pension with or without the triple-lock, also based on OBR forecasts.
The IFS suggested that the government should decide what proportion of earnings it wants the state pension to be and then stick to that, rather than arbitrarily increasing it gradually through the triple-lock.
What happens to the triple-lock is highly significant because it has made such a difference in incomes for pensioners compared with workers.
In-work benefits are protected less generously than state pensions.
The Resolution Foundation brought out research recently suggesting that pensioner households on average are better off than working households after housing costs have been taken into account.
Taking income after housing costs makes a huge difference because pensioner households are more likely to own their own homes and to have relatively small or paid-off mortgages.
Former pensions minister Baroness Altmann told Newsnight that the triple-lock was particularly unfair on younger families because it was putting pressure on the government to keep raising the pension age to keep pension costs down, so the time when they could claim their own pensions was being delayed.
Among the options for replacing the triple-lock are:

The owner had written negative comments about Garadget's kit on both Amazon and the start-up's own site after having problems with its app.
People have expressed concern about the US firm's actions.
The block has been reversed and founder Denis Grisak agreed his first reaction was not the "slickest PR move".
But he noted that Tesla's Elon Musk had once cancelled a customer's order after criticising the automaker online.
Garadget's kit is designed to let owners open their mechanised garage doors remotely to let visitors in, and to offer a way to check the doors have not been left open by mistake after leaving home.
The product raised nearly $63,000 (£50,000) on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo last year and has since gone on sale elsewhere.
But on 1 April, a buyer named Robert Martin complained on Amazon that the product was "junk", and referred to it with a swear word on the firm's own community board.
The next day, Mr Grisak replied: "The abusive language here and in your negative Amazon review, submitted minutes after experiencing a technical difficulty, only demonstrates your poor impulse control. I'm happy to provide the technical support to customers on my Saturday night but I'm not going to tolerate any tantrums."
He added that he had denied a server connection to Mr Martin as a consequence and suggested Mr Martin ask Amazon for a refund.
When another user accused Mr Grisak of breaking the law by "bricking" the kit, he denied this saying he had not changed its hardware or firmware.
However, other board members also complained. One compared Mr Grisak to a "petulant child" while another claimed "sales are going to tank if people think you have a kill switch to be fired any time they say something you don't like".
Mr Grisak has said he has no intention of repeating his action.
But one tech industry consultant was also critical.
"The bottom line is that it's already a hard sell to get people to embrace the so-called internet-of-things," said Ben Wood from CCS Insight.
"In particular, there's a huge amount of trust involved in having something that can open your doors.
"When incidents like this happen, it makes it even harder to get these kind of products into people's homes. This was a very ill-advised move." | The maker of an internet-enabled garage door device is facing a backlash after blocking its use by a customer who had complained about the tech. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39502256"} | 538 | 34 | 0.40533 | 1.090545 | -0.086073 | 0.857143 | 16.857143 | 0.642857 |

Speaking in London, the Labour leader said he would "reshape" relationships with the US and other allies, promising "no hand holding" with Donald Trump.
Labour backed "no first use" nuclear weapons, but he would do "everything necessary" to protect the country.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Labour would "chuck away" the UK's ability to defend itself.
And Prime Minister Theresa May, campaigning in North Shields, has also been asked about defence policy, if her party wins power on 8 June.
Mrs May was asked by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg if she thought it patriotic to join the US in more strikes against Syria, or if she would rule out having a parliamentary vote.
Mrs May said the UK was part of a coalition working to "defeat Daesh" in Syria and Iraq but was also working "diplomatically with others to ensure that we can see a stable Syria for the future and a political transition for Syria away from Assad".
In a speech to the Chatham House international affairs think tank on Friday, Mr Corbyn - a former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition and a lifelong member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament - said he had campaigned for a more peaceful world all his life and still believed the UK's interests were best served by pursuing political and diplomatic ends to conflicts.
But he said should his party win power on 8 June, he would do "everything necessary to protect the safety and security of our people and our country", stressing "that is our first duty".
In focusing on the deficiencies of recent western military interventions in the Middle East - what Mr Corbyn called "regime change wars" - the Labour leader put forward a view that might well resonate more widely among the electorate.
His was an approach that would put human rights at the centre of foreign policy.
The problem is that on specifics Mr Corbyn provided little clarity. He was more critical of the Trump administration than he was of Russia or China.
While stressing Labour's commitment to current levels of defence spending, he opposed the Nato deployment of troops closer to Russia to reassure worried allies.
He insisted that he was no pacifist and that in the last resort force might sometimes be necessary.
But by stressing the role of the UN Security Council he appeared to give Russia and China a veto over any UK decision to use force.
While condemning the "almost routine" military interventions of the past 15 years, from Afghanistan to Libya, he said he accepted that military action was needed "as a last resort", citing the fight against Nazism during World War Two.
"I am not a pacifist.
"I accept that military action, under international law and as a genuine last resort, is in some circumstances necessary. But that is very far from the kind of unilateral wars and interventions that have almost become routine in recent times."
He said a "bomb first, talk later" approach to security "has failed" and that the use of force should be sanctioned beforehand by the United Nations.
He criticised the Trump administration for "unilateral" air strikes in Syria and "recklessly escalating" tensions on the Korean peninsula, saying he wanted "strong and friendly relations" with Washington but would always speak his mind.
"Britain deserves better than simply outsourcing our country's security and prosperity to the whims of the Trump White House.
"So no more hand holding with Donald Trump - a Labour government will conduct a robust and independent foreign policy made in London."
Earlier this year, Mr Corbyn criticised US air strikes against Syria - putting him at odds with Labour deputy leader Tom Watson.
The Labour leader said his life-long opposition to nuclear weapons and what he described as the "military-industrial complex" had been shaped by his parents' fears of a "nuclear holocaust" during the 1960s and his memories of the use of chemical weapons during the Vietnam War.
He said he accepted Labour was supporting Trident in its manifesto, draft details of which were leaked on Wednesday, after voting for the policy at its party conference and the Parliament had already backed the renewal of the nuclear weapons system.
But he said an incoming Labour government would have a wide-ranging defence review "looking at all aspects of our defence priorities for the future".
"We cannot obviously decide what the review would decide, otherwise we wouldn't have a review," he said.
He insisted he remained committed to "meaningful, multilateral disarmament" in line with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
His deputy leader Tom Watson, campaigning in Pontypridd, said the manifesto, the final version of which has not yet been published, "will have a commitment to the independent nuclear deterrent, to Trident".
But SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Mr Corbyn "should have the courage of his convictions on nuclear weapons". She added: ""I want to see Trident scrapped not renewed, so we can have investment in our conventional forces."
The Conservatives said Mr Corbyn had campaigned all his life "to weaken the UK's defences".
Campaigning in Newport, Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson said the Labour leader's criticism of Mr Trump reflected a strain of "immature anti-Americanism" within the opposition.
"There is a sharp distinction between a government that is willing to stand up for this country, that is will to make sure this country is properly defended - and a Labour party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, that would simply chuck away our ability to defend ourselves," he said.
But UKIP leader Paul Nuttall said he agreed with Mr Corbyn, arguing the interventions in Iraq and Syria had been mistaken and British troops should only be deployed if it was truly in the national interest.

Peter Lenkov said Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park were offered "unprecedented raises" but "chose to move on".
"It's heartbreaking, but this happens on long-running shows," he wrote in a statement posted on Twitter.
Kim and Park have appeared in the show since its inception in 2010.
According to Variety, the pair had been seeking the same salaries as stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan but were being offered between 10 and 15 percent less.
In his statement, Lenkov said CBS - the studio behind the reboot of the classic 1970s TV show - had been "extremely generous and proactive in their renegotiation talks".
"In the end, everyone tried their best to keep the ohana" - a Hawaiian word for family - "intact".
Lenkov went on to stress that Hawaii Five-0 "has and will continue to showcase one of the most diverse casts on TV".
Production begins next week on the eighth season of the show, which will have its premiere on CBS on 29 September.
Kim confirmed his departure earlier this week on Facebook, saying he had "made the difficult choice not to continue" after failing to reach an agreement with CBS.
"The path to equality is rarely easy," he wrote in a lengthy post in which he encouraged his fans "to look beyond the disappointment of this moment to the bigger picture".
Park has yet to comment on leaving her role as officer Kono Kalakaua.
"Daniel and Grace have been important and valued members of Hawaii Five-0 for seven seasons," said CBS earlier this week.
"We did not want to lose them and tried very hard to keep them with offers for large and significant salary increases."

The white BMW M4 was set alight at the Cotton Mill Brewers Fayre, off the A71 at the Moorfield roundabout, at about 21:40 on Wednesday.
Police said the 27-year-old owner of the car was with two friends in the restaurant at the time of the attack.
The car, which was worth a five-figure sum, was totally burnt out.
No-one was in the vehicle and no-one in the area was injured.
Police said CCTV showed two men beside the car just as it caught fire.
After the attack, the men, who were described as being of slim build and wearing dark or grey clothing, ran off towards the B7064 in the direction of Irvine Road.
Det Con David Gray, from Kilmarnock CID, said: "Whilst the motive for this incident has still to be determined, we believe it was targeted. However, that doesn't make it any less serious.
"Setting a car on fire, especially in a busy area like a restaurant car park, is very dangerous as it could easily have spread to other cars and buildings.

Madonna's latest album, Rebel Heart, had been in pole position throughout the week, but Smith's In The Lonely Hour sneaked ahead at the last minute.
His record undoubtedly received a boost after he performed his new single, Lay Me Down, with John Legend on Friday night's Comic Relief show.
In the end, he beat Madonna by 12,000 sales, the Official Chart Company said.
In The Lonely Hour has now spent six separate spells at number one - a record for a male solo artist.
Only three other albums have done better - Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water, which topped the charts on eight occasions; followed by Adele's 21 and Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events, both of which managed seven.
Smith also topped the UK singles chart with Lay Me Down - the official Red Nose Day single - which achieved sales of 105,000.
The album version of the song, which does not feature John Legend, also charted at number 18.
Rebel Heart is Madonna's thirteenth studio album, and features collaborations with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys and Avicii.
Well-received by critics, it explores the star's divorce from British film-maker Guy Ritchie, alongside her regular pet topics of sex, dance and religion.
The last time one of Madonna's studio albums failed to reach number one in the UK was 1994, when Bedtime Stories also made its debut at number two.
Elsewhere in the album chart, Rebecca Ferguson scored a new entry at number seven with Lady Sings The Blues, a collection of Billie Holiday covers.
Boyband Blue notched up their sixth top 20 album with Colours, which landed at 13; while Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits notched up its 386th week in the top 100.
Another Comic Relief performer, Ella Henderson, saw her album Chapter One leap 10 places, from 22 to 12.
Madonna's greatest hits collection, Celebration, jumped from 38 to 27, but the highest climber was George Benson's The Ultimate Collection, which rose 17 places to 37.
In the singles chart, rapper Flo Rida was a new entry at number three. His latest record, GDFR, samples War's 1975 hit Low Rider and is his 13th UK top 10 hit.
Usher's I Don't Mind debuted at number eight, while Mumford and Sons reached number 20 with Believe, the first release from their new album Wilder Mind.

The hosts were chasing the game after only two minutes when Alex Corbisiero touched down, before Leigh Halfpenny kicked four penalties.
Australia fought back just before the break but the Lions took control in the second half for a dominant 41-16 win.

"We had too many errors early on and we gave them a head start," said Horwill.
"We started the second half like we wanted to start the game and then we let them get away with it and they were too good.
"We dug deep and we tried as much as we could. I'm very proud of every single one of my players, but in the end you would have to say that the better team on the night won."
After losing the second Test 16-15 in Melbourne, Lions coach Warren Gatland said training in the build-up to the final Test had been focused on improving set-pieces, particularly their scrum.
That work paid off as the Lions won all 10 of their scrums, while Australia managed just three of their six.
"We just had to hold onto the ball and build pressure and we didn't do that," added Horwill.
"We let them into the game and we let them execute the way they wanted to and they scored points.
"It was a bit disappointing from us in the scrum. We'd done so well in the first two Tests but we let ourselves down there a bit. We've got to work on that."
Australia coach Robbie Deans admitted he was unsure about his future in the wake of the thrashing.
After five years in the role he has been coming under increasing pressure and when asked about remaining as the Wallabies' first foreign coach, the New Zealander said: "You don't presume anything in this industry. Those decisions are made by others."
Wallabies' skipper Horwill gave short shrift to questions about Deans's future.
"Robbie's the coach. He's contracted, he's the coach. He's a great coach and now's not the time to time to talk about it," Horwill told a post-match press conference.
"We'll review everything at the end after this. Five minutes after I've played a Test match is not the time to talk about coaching positions." | Australia captain James Horwill believes too many errors early in the decisive third Test against the British and Irish Lions cost them a series win. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "23212375"} | 511 | 31 | 0.459992 | 1.138719 | 0.257645 | 1.307692 | 17.807692 | 0.615385 |
He steered the county to two National League titles in 2002 and 2004, as well as promotion in the Championship.
Derrick played over 200 matches for Glamorgan and New Zealand's Northern Districts as a seam bowler and lower-order batsman.
He worked for the Cricket Board of Wales until he was taken ill in August 2016, subsequently undergoing brain surgery and chemotherapy.
"JD embodied all that is good about cricket at both professional and club level. Glamorgan CCC, and Welsh cricket as a whole, has lost a great and loyal servant, and the game will be very much the poorer for his passing," said the county in a tribute statement.
Born in Cwmaman, Derrick made his senior county debut aged 20 and became a regular member of the first team, with his county career spanning the years 1983 to 1991.
He recorded a highest score of 78 not out and a best bowling performance of six for 54, and was handed his county cap in 1988.
Derrick moved into coaching and was involved with the first team in the late nineties, before taking over on a more permanent basis in 2002.
"When I finished playing, I wanted to help Glamorgan in any way the county needed me," he said at the time.
"I've never had a problem working where the county wants me."
His appointment quickly brought success as Glamorgan clinched the one-day National League title in 2002 and 2004, working with captain Steve James and his successor Robert Croft.
They also reached Twenty20 finals day in 2004 and were promoted to the First Division of the County Championship, but lasted just one season in the top flight.
Derrick was replaced as coach in 2006 but continued to work in Welsh cricket and play for his club Aberdare, as well as showing his expertise as a BBC Wales commentator.
He was appointed national performance director of the Cricket Board of Wales in 2010 and at the time of his illness, he was pursuing a hectic schedule developing future generations of Welsh talent.
He managed Wales's age-group sides for both boys and girls as well as the senior Wales women's side, attending matches throughout the summer and running nets through the winter.
A fundraising dinner organised by Glamorgan and the Professional Cricketers' Association in December of 2016 paid for modifications to his house, so that he could continue to live at home while undergoing chemotherapy. | Former Glamorgan coach and player John Derrick has died at the age of 54. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39290666"} | 518 | 19 | 0.489289 | 1.421583 | -1.173284 | 0.866667 | 31.2 | 0.733333 |
There are now 97 bathing areas classified as "excellent" and "good", compared to 69 in 2006.
The Bathing Waters in Wales statistics for 2016 showed these include places like Trecco Bay in Porthcawl, Gower's Oxwich Bay and Colwyn Bay, Conwy.
Natural Resources Wales said Welsh beaches are among "the best in Europe".
Over the past 10 years, the total number of designated bathing areas has increased by 32%, rising from 78 to 103.
And the standards are also said to be tougher, following the introduction of the revised Bathing Water Directive in 2015.
So what is behind the significant improvements in Wales' water quality?
Rachelle Trubey, water advisor at NRW, said it has been down to "numerous factors" including upgrading sewerage works, fixing misconnections in pipes and reducing contamination runoff from urban areas and farmland by, for instance, putting up fences near river banks.
The water quality here has risen from "poor" in 2012 to "excellent" since 2014.
It follows joint work between NRW, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water and the council to make improvements.
Gabby Dickinson of Gone Swimming, which holds wild swimming sessions across north Wales, said it was important that the sea is kept clean for swimmers.
"The water in Wales is beautiful. You can be out swimming and see dogfish, crabs, even seals who swim really near to us. They wouldn't be there if the water was dirty because there wouldn't be the fish to feed on," she said.
"Without the really good cleanliness and quality of the water, we would not be out there either.
"People are more aware of where their rubbish ends up, and the less pollution there is then it certainly helps more people get into the sea."
Gone Swimming also holds "rubbish swimming" sessions where they clear up any waste on the beach after finishing their swim.
"We take away the things we've brought with us as well as litter lying around. It gives our swimmers a sense of ownership and means we're doing our bit for the environment," she added.
Jon Merrick, business and tourism manager for Conwy council, said: "For people to know that the beaches are safe and clean, it certainly makes it more attractive to visitors.
"We have definitely noticed that visitors are increasing and it's bringing family holidays back to the area."

It would make science more important at the highest levels of government, says Sir Paul, a Nobel laureate. But he admits that what he is proposing could be seen as "a deal with the devil".
The government spends more than £3bn each year on scientific research.
This is allocated by seven specialist research councils, which spend on what they regard as the highest quality research without any government interference.
These range from developing new medicines, hunting for new sub-atomic particles and assessing the impact human activities are having on the environment.
It is a system that has led to the UK being one of the best countries in the world in many areas of research.
But Sir Paul believes it could be better managed if the seven research councils were run by an umbrella body called Research UK.
The aim would be to reduce bureaucracy, increase coordination and develop an overarching strategy for scientific research.
Controversially, Sir Paul believes Research UK should have input from a committee of government ministers.
Critics fear that this might lead to political interference in funding science and the loss of grants for areas of research that may seem obscure now - but could turn out to be scientifically important in the future.
Sir Paul, however, believes that reform is needed to "put science at the heart of government".
Under the current system, the government decides how much to spend on scientific research.
But the scientific community then determines how those funds are distributed.
The so-called "Haldane principle" is that money should be spent on the best science and that decision should be determined by experts in the field.
Sir Paul believes that should continue but a more nuanced approach is now required.
The proportion of money each research council has received has remained more or less unchanged for decades.
But in that time the areas of research that each research council funds, such as physics, biology, medicine, engineering and the environment, have changed dramatically.
It may well be that research in each of these areas has accelerated equally and that it is right that the proportion of funding each receives should remain unchanged.
But the point Sir Paul is making is that even if such an assessment has been made, no-one knows about it.
There is a suspicion from outside that each separate area of the research community jealously guards the money that has been passed on to them for generations.
Sir Paul's concept for Research UK is to create an umbrella body where such discussions can be had openly.
But what about his idea of inviting in the politicians?
He wants ministers with an interest in science to talk to officials at Research UK.
In particular, Sir Paul seems to want the Chancellor to formalise his growing interest in scientific research by chairing the group of ministers.
Is that asking for trouble?
Is there not a danger that ministers will want money spent for new labs in marginal constituencies, pet projects, and funding taken away from areas that don't match current political priorities?
Sir Paul believes they won't and that the scientific community can marshal persuasive arguments.
"Politicians are very sensible people, particularly in this country," he told me.
"We absolutely have to talk to politicians. We, as scientists, cost a lot of money and we have to justify what we do.
"We have to engage with politicians if we are to maintain the support for science which is for the public good and promotes the economy.
"We have to have a proper political discussion - and I want to promote that interface."
Sir Paul is an extremely nice man.
But is he in danger of thinking everyone else is as nice as him and takes the same collegiate, enlightened view as he does of the way the world works?
One concern is that ministers and their mandarins simply don't understand science and that if they are given an inch they will take a mile.
There might be pressure to cut funding for the search of obscure sub-atomic particles, for example in order to spend more on materials science which might have a greater benefit to the economy.
Sir Paul believes that the research community will be able to stand up for itself.
He is clear that he wants the seven research councils to remain as they are - but argues their relative budgets should be reviewed periodically.
"What I am proposing strengthens the research base. To have a more joined-up research strategy.
"So instead of seven individual research strategies we have a combined voice and a proper platform for a strategy.
"I think a good interaction between politicians and scientists is not only good for the scientific endeavour but society."
The elephant in the room is next week's spending review.
Science funding has been relatively protected by George Osborne.
It has been frozen and ring-fenced since 2010 by a Chancellor who has become increasingly amenable to research. He has become convinced that it can be a useful tool for his plans to increase UK productivity.
In order to maintain or possibly improve on the deal they struck five years ago the scientific community will have to give George Osborne something back.
And a little more meddling by the Chancellor may be a price they may well be prepared to pay for a good settlement in the Comprehensive Spending Review.

The World Food Programme (WFP) had hoped to take a first shipment of food and medicine to the 40,000 people trapped in Madaya, a rebel-held town near the Lebanese border.
People there are reported to have been starving to death, and eating pets and grass to survive.
The convoy, with its month of supplies, is now due to arrive on Monday.
It is not clear what caused the delay but the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says negotiating access across battlefronts in a siege situation has always been a tricky business.
It involves agreement at the top political level on both sides of the conflict, as well as individual fighters on the ground.
A similar operation for two government-held villages in the north - Kefraya and Foah - is also due on Monday.
Syria: The story of the conflict
Where key countries stand on Syria
Blockades have been a feature of Syria's civil war but the plight of Madaya has drawn international attention, partly due to images emerging of severely malnourished residents.
Up to 4.5 million people in Syria live in hard-to-reach areas, including nearly 400,000 people in 15 besieged locations who do not have access to life-saving aid.
Madaya has been besieged since early July by government forces and their allies in Lebanon's Shia Islamist Hezbollah movement.
The situation in Foah and Kefraya, under siege from rebels, is also reported to be worsening, with an estimated 30,000 people trapped.
Meanwhile the UN's mediator in the Syrian conflict, Staffan de Mistura, is in Damascus trying to lay the groundwork for peace talks planned later this month.
Opposition leaders have made the lifting of sieges a condition of taking part in the talks.
In a separate development Russian air strikes in support of government forces are reported in north-western Idlib province.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said there were heavy casualties when they hit a prison complex run by al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, on Saturday.
At least 57 people - civilians, militants and detainees - were killed and 30 others were wounded, it said.
What's happening in Syria?
More than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in almost five years of conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a brutal civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State.
Why are civilians under siege?
All parties to the conflict are using siege warfare, encircling populated areas, preventing civilians from leaving and blocking humanitarian access in an attempt to force opponents to surrender. Shortages of food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel have led to malnutrition and deaths among vulnerable groups.
Where are the sieges?
Government forces are besieging various locations in the eastern Ghouta area, outside Damascus, as well as the capital's western suburb of Darayya and the nearby mountain towns of Zabadani and Madaya. Rebel forces have encircled the villages of Foah and Kefraya in the northern province of Idlib, while IS militants are besieging government-held areas in the eastern city of Deir al-Zour. | An aid convoy which was due to reach a besieged Syrian village on Sunday has been delayed by last-minute hitches. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35271260"} | 768 | 29 | 0.453581 | 1.176287 | -0.033851 | 0.869565 | 27.521739 | 0.695652 |
Longton Cottage Hospital closed in September amid staff shortages at hospitals run by Staffordshire and Stoke Partnership NHS Trust.
Thirty seven beds have since been reopened on a temporary basis, along with 28 beds in Stafford.
Latest figures showed local A&E performance to be the worst in England.
Last week, just 63.7% of people attending emergency units at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and Stafford's County Hospital were seen within four hours, compared with a national target of 95%.
The next worst performing trust was the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which treated 70.3% of patients within four hours.

The prominent advertisement for the "Konkani Kantaram Utsav" (Konkani song festival) announced by the BJP government's department of information and publicity, called for "songs based on achievements of the present government and emphasising the schemes implemented by this government for the welfare of the state".
The contest is co-hosted by the state-funded Tiatr Academy of Goa and is scheduled for 8 March.
But if dulcet, fawning odes is what they were after, the government could not have chosen a more inappropriate community to target.
"Konkani Kantaram" is the domain of an immensely popular and irreverent century-old Goan theatrical form, locally called tiatr.
The three-hour-long dramas that run to packed houses are equally famous for the songs or "cantars" (from the Portuguese word cantare, to sing) that are interspersed with set changes.
Hugely popular with wide fan followings, "cantarists" are known to pack a punch, whether they are singing about love, life or the latest socio-political issues from the morning's newspaper.
Many politicians have come to fear this on-stage skewering and governments, both past and present, have found themselves, and their policies, regularly held up to the satirical scrutiny of the cantarists.
Predictably, the latest government initiative has not been taken to very kindly.
"It is a subtle form of control. How can they dictate what we should sing about," Konkani stage singer and performer Sharon Mazarello told the BBC.
A former legislator from India's Congress party, Jitendra Deshprabhu, called it an affront to artistic freedom of expression.
"Tiatr and cantaram were born as anti-establishment avenues and they have stayed true to that. To try and make it an instrument of propaganda for the government, with monetary enticements, is to attempt to cripple this cultural instrument," he said.
Many stage artists are also not too enamoured with the idea and as the competition draws near, there have been editorials and letters in newspapers, asking them to spurn the contest and its prize money.
What is also ironic is the fact that the contest is the brainchild of the same government department that just a year ago justified censorship proposals for tiatrs - a move that was quickly dropped after protests from the influential community and opposition parties.
The past few years have also seen heightened tensions with the authorities over the tiatr community's take on several controversial and unpopular government decisions, including the declassification of the coconut tree and "unfulfilled election promises".
Relations reached their lowest point last year, when supporters of a legislator stormed the stage to prevent a performance by popular political soloist, Francis Fernandes.
Hartman de Souza, an English theatre personality and author of a recent book "Eat Dust" on mining excesses in Goa, feels the government initiative will only result in cantarists being even more critical of it.
"The Konkani stage has evolved from protest and dissent, and they have an ear to the ground, to the common man. You cannot try to orient them," he said.
"You can ask people for their opinion. You can't ask people to only write things in praise. Praise me and get paid for it. Why bother with poetry then? Just hire an advertising agency," added installation artist and painter Subodh Kerkar.
However, long-time Konkani entertainer Miguel Jacob Fernandes feels differently. He says the contest can help to bridge the growing divide between the Konkani stage and the government.
"Nobody is being forced to enter the contest and say good things. Those who feel they can do so, can enter."
The government, on its part, has clarified that the contest is just a means to use the popularity of Konkani songs to disseminate information about its schemes, in the same way as it uses other media, like print or films.
But rightly or wrongly, high praise does not seem to be coming their way. | The Goa government might have had different plans, but a singing competition it announced last week, with a rider that the tunes had to be paeans to the government and its schemes, seems to have hit all the wrong notes, writes Pamela D'Mello. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35742308"} | 929 | 61 | 0.440072 | 1.461492 | 0.436991 | 0.979167 | 16.145833 | 0.645833 |

Murray, seeded third, won 6-2 6-2 1-6 6-1 to set up a fourth-round match with Croatian 23rd seed Ivo Karlovic.
There were worrying moments for the 2013 champion as he failed to win a game for 40 minutes and had treatment to his shoulder in the fourth set.
But having lost six games in a row, Murray, 28, swept through the last six.
Asked about the shoulder issue, Murray said: "It's something I had the last two, three days. I only really feel it when I'm serving but it's not something that's of major concern to me.
"It's stiffness and every time I finish a practice or anything, I have my back manipulated.
"The physio came on the court and said it was like a machine gun going off when he laid on top of me. Literally my back cracked a lot. That's been the case for the last few days."
Murray had won his last six matches against 25th seed Seppi and appeared on course for another straightforward win when he led by two sets after little over an hour.
With all areas of his game working smoothly, the Scot was in complete control thanks to four breaks of serve, only for two medical timeouts to shift the momentum.
It was Seppi, 31, who first called the trainer to work on his ankle, and the break in play had a major effect on both men, with Murray double-faulting twice on the resumption to drop serve.
An unexpected lapse threatened to become something more serious when Murray dropped serve again, clutching his shoulder, and Seppi then broke at the start of the third set as his opponent screamed "Useless!" at his own efforts.
The British number one was now in real trouble, requiring an intensive bout of treatment to his shoulder at the changeover, but once again the break in play benefited the injured party.
Urged on by a now fired-up Centre Court crowd, Murray resumed with the positive intent of his early play and recovered the break to end a 40-minute period without winning a game.
The world number three dominated the closing stages, clambering all over the Seppi serve as he broke three times to secure victory in two hours and eight minutes.
Murray confirmed that Seppi's medical time-out had contributed to his shoulder problem, saying: "Obviously when you do take a break, it does stiffen up and my serve was pretty bad after that happened.
"Once I had the treatment, I served much better."
Seppi said he had called the trainer because his ankle hurt and joked that the physio had brought both men good fortune.
"It looks like if he touches you, you can't lose any more," said the Italian. | Britain's Andy Murray overcame a shoulder problem to beat Italy's Andreas Seppi in four sets and secure a place in the second week of Wimbledon. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33396340"} | 625 | 38 | 0.399365 | 1.014764 | -0.195122 | 0.785714 | 20.142857 | 0.642857 |
A report by the Audit Office also reveals that it costs £324,000 a year to keep a young person in custody.
The report says repeat offenders are responsible for 72% of all youth crime and disorder.
Violence against the person, theft, criminal damage, and public order offences are the most common crimes.
Following the report, the Commissioner for Children and Young People in Northern Ireland said the criminal justice system needed to be overhauled.
The report says a new strategy is needed to deal with young offenders who repeatedly commit crimes.
The Youth Justice Agency is the organisation responsible for dealing with children aged 10-17 who have offended, or are at serious risk of offending.
The audit office report, Managing Children Who Offend, examines the cost of youth crime, and what is being done to try to reduce it.
It says the agency spent £17.4m and employed 277 staff last year.
Kieran Donnelly, the Comptroller and Auditor General, concludes that the agency and the Department of Justice "cannot currently demonstrate that the interventions to reduce re-offending by young people represent value for money."
Custody for young people in Northern Ireland is provided at the Woodlands Juvenile Justice Centre in Bangor, County Down.
Last year, 163 young people passed through the centre, some of them multiple times.
The majority were persistent offenders, or young people on remand waiting to go to court.
There are currently 26 children held there. The youngest of them is 14.
The audit office says that while the number of first-time offences committed by children has been falling in recent years, the rate of re-offending has been rising.
According to the most recent figures available, for the year 2013-14, the re-offending rate for young people released from custody was 89%.
That means 31 out of every 35 of those released commit another offence within a year.
The most prolific 1% of young offenders accounts for about 13% of all incidents.
The report says children looked after in care homes are about five times more likely to become involved with the justice system than those outside the care system.
It reveals that around one third of all those admitted to the juvenile justice centre are from care backgrounds.
The report also examines the effectives of alternatives to custody.
Youth conferencing, often referred to as restorative justice, is aimed at giving young offenders the opportunity to understand and make amends to their victims for the consequences of their offending, and to take steps to stop future crime.
It involves victims, the young person's family, the police, the community, and supporters to reach an agreed decision.
The audit office reveals that during the year 2013-14, more than half of young offenders dealt with through community orders re-offended.
"Youth conferencing has a central role in the response to youth crime," the report states.
"Although regarded well internationally, it has not been demonstrated that youth conferencing has reduced re-offending in Northern Ireland."
It says "earlier assertions that youth conferencing has been a success are not necessarily supported by subsequent evidence."
The report says there is a need for a strategic review of how current arrangements for dealing with child offenders are working.
The Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People, Koulla Yiasouma, said there is a lack of focus and loss of momentum in how children who offend are dealt with.
She said: "The NIAO report clearly shows that the current system's interventions and services are not effectively tackling offending and reoffending and is not therefore delivering for these children and young people.
"We now need urgent and sustained action from government following today's report and we expect departments to fulfil their duties under the Children's Services Co-operation Act, which requires them to work together in the best interests of children.
"I am pleased to see some of my previous advice to the department echoed in the recommendations of this report."
Vivian McConvey, chief executive of the charity VOYPIC (Voice of Young People in Care) said: "For several years, reviews and reports have indicated flaws and inefficiencies in a system which responds to some of the most vulnerable and complex young people in our society.
"The lack of urgency and pace to redress these issues is at best frustrating and, at worst, of grave concern.
"The evidence that custody is not used as a last resort for young offenders continues to frustrate me and others who seek to protect the best interests of this group of vulnerable young people.
"We should learn from the experience of others and from what young people tell us and introduce interventions with proven impact." | Nine out of 10 children in Northern Ireland who serve a custodial sentence after breaking the law re-offend within a year of being released. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40507016"} | 1,011 | 35 | 0.460673 | 1.207113 | -0.272536 | 1.37037 | 34.222222 | 0.777778 |
First Minister Carwyn Jones has travelled to South America to attend celebrations in Patagonia.
The first wave of settlers sailed on the converted tea clipper Mimosa from Liverpool to Puerto Madryn in 1865, arriving on 28 July after a two-month journey that cost £12 per head.
Led by Rev Michael D Jones they had set out to create a new colony where they could preserve their culture, language, and Protestant nonconformist religion, free from English influence.
Jones - a radical nonconformist minister - chose a remote location because he believed that Welsh people who emigrated to English-speaking parts of the world, like the US, were too easily assimilated and lost their customs, language and religion.
The first migrants expected a fertile promised land, but arrived to find a desolate, windswept semi-desert with little shelter or food. After many difficult years battling drought, flash floods, hunger, crop failures and bureaucracy they eventually irrigated the land and established several towns near the Atlantic coast - 800 miles (1,300km) south of Buenos Aires - and 400 miles west at the foot of the Andes.
Announcing his visit earlier this year, Carwyn Jones said: "As a nation, we are very proud of the strong links that we share with the settlements in Patagonia."
Celebrations in Argentina are centred around the annual Gŵyl y Glaniad (Festival of Landing) in Puerto Madryn on 28 July, which includes a re-enactment of the 153 settlers disembarking the Mimosa via a small boat.
The event also includes a ceremonial exchange of gifts between the Welsh and the indigenous Tehuelche communities. The Welsh colonists befriended the local Tehuelche people, who are credited with helping the settlers survive the early years by passing on skills like hunting, and bartering meat for Welsh bread.
The Welsh hymn Calon Lân will be sung in Welsh and Spanish, followed by both national anthems, and flowers will be laid on the grave of another settlement leader Lewis Jones, after whom the town of Trelew is named.
In the afternoon, a traditional tea is being served in local Welsh chapels.
In the Andes region, a ceremony is being held at a monument to the Mimosa in Trevelin, followed by the unveiling of a sign declaring the town to be twinned with Cardigan in Ceredigion.
Events such as concerts, shows and banquets will be held in the town, and the neighbouring Welsh-founded community of Esquel, throughout the week.
A competition will be held in Trelew for the best 'black cake', or cacen ddu - a fusion of the traditional Welsh bara brith and Christmas cake. Black cake has become a symbol of Welsh Patagonia after the early settlers created it to help sustain them during floods or food shortages.
In Wales, exhibitions dedicated to the pioneers are being held at Bangor University and the National Library of Wales, in Aberystwyth.
The National Youth Choir of Wales launched its Patagonia 150 celebrations last week with concerts in Cardiff Bay and Llandaff Cathedral.
The choir - which has been working on a Latin American repertoire with Buenos Aires composer Camilo Santostefano, as well as studying Welsh music with John S Davies - will be touring Argentina in October.
Clwyd Theatr Cymru began performing a specially created production called Mimosa, telling the story of the settlers quest, in May and June. This month a company of young Welsh and Argentina performers joined the team to tour in both Wales and Patagonia.
There will be a special annual dinner of the Wales-Argentina Society in Caernarfon, and celebrations in Aberystwyth, which is twinned with Esquel.
In November, comedian Rhod Gilbert and Manic Street Preachers members James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore are taking part in a six-day charity hike to mark the anniversary by following on the footsteps of the Welsh pioneers. They will be part of a group trek that includes a climb up Craig Goch, from where the settlers saw Cwm Hyfryd (the valley) for the first time.
The event, plus a second trek being led by former Welsh rugby international player Shane Williams, will raise funds for Cardiff's Velindre Cancer Centre.
In the same month there will also be a special annual eisteddfod in Trelew, Argentina.
The anniversary of Mimosa's departure from Liverpool was marked in May with the unveiling of a red dragon monument at the city's Princess Dock. | The 150th anniversary of the migration of Welsh settlers to Patagonia is being marked with events in Argentina and Wales. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33682688"} | 1,081 | 26 | 0.506985 | 1.479075 | 0.128391 | 1.285714 | 39.952381 | 0.904762 |
Chief executive Peter Wanless said there had been a "staggering surge" in the number of people getting in touch.
The chief executive of funding body UK Sport said if any sport did not take enough action to deal with the issue of abuse, it would reconsider its funding.
Fifteen police forces are now investigating allegations of historical child sex abuse in football.
The inquiries come after several former players made allegations of abuse against football coaches.
The NSPCC said that between 23 and 29 November its hotline received 860 calls, and within the first three days of it launching, the organisation made more than 60 referrals to a range of agencies across the UK.
That was more than three times as many referrals as in the first three days of the Jimmy Savile scandal, the charity added.
How do you talk to your child about sexual abuse?
Abuse scandal 'one of FA's biggest crises'
Mr Wanless said it demonstrated the "worrying extent of abuse that had been going on within the sport".
John Brown, the NSPCC lead on tackling sexual abuse, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the calls were about current concerns, as well as historical and non-recent abuse.
Pressed about calls involving current cases, he said he was unable to give details but it "would be naïve to assume that all the concerns were in the past".
He drew parallels with victims of the late DJ Jimmy Savile, saying sexual abuse is fundamentally about the abuse of power and his victims had been "very effectively" silenced.
"Listening to these footballers talk bravely about their experiences - and the many reasons why they couldn't speak up - I think it would be naïve to assume that there is not the risk of an ongoing problem in football and in sport generally that needs to continue to be examined and dealt with," he said.
A zero tolerance approach to abuse and harassment was needed in football clubs and whistleblowers should be listened to, he added.
Liz Nicholl, UK Sport's chief executive, spoke to the BBC about how other sports must react to the allegations affecting football - and what repercussions they could face if they fail to take claims seriously enough.
"We would certainly want the sport to evidence the action it's taking to deal with the issue, and if we were concerned in any way, if there was inaction, then we would consider our funding relationship with the sport," she said.
UK Sport allocates money from the government and National Lottery to Olympic and Paralympic sport.
On Wednesday, BBC 5 live learned Essex Police had received information relating to allegations of non-recent child abuse.
Norfolk Constabulary also told the BBC it was in the early stages of an investigation into an allegation.
The Football Association has announced an internal review and a number of football clubs are conducting their own inquiries.
It was revealed on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that the FA scrapped a flagship project in 2003 meant to ensure children were being protected from sexual abuse.
Meanwhile, former Newcastle player Derek Bell has revealed he wanted to kill the coach who sexually abused him during the 1970s.
He was groomed and abused by George Ormond between the ages of 12 and 16 while playing for the Montagu and North Fenham boys football club. Ormond was later jailed for six years for sexually assaulting young boys.
Chelsea Football Club has also confirmed it has begun an investigation into allegations of historical sexual abuse concerning a now-deceased individual it employed in the 1970s.
A number of forces including the Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police had previously announced they were investigating historical allegations.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "Essex Police has received information relating to allegations of non-recent child abuse within the football community.
"That information will be reviewed and investigated accordingly."
He added: "We need those who have been the victim of child sexual abuse to report it to the police.
"We also urge anyone who may have any information regarding child sexual abuse to come forward.
"When allegations are reported, it enables police to assess whether there are current safeguarding risks and ensure appropriate action is taken."
A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary said the force was "investigating an allegation relating to child abuse within football".
"We are in the early stages of our investigation and cannot comment any further," he added.

Officers said the suspect visited the victim repeatedly at her home in Wolfe Road, offering to carry out work on her property.
But no work was undertaken at the house.
Police said the man had taken a five-figure sum of cash from the victim.
The suspect is described only as being white and in his 40s.
Sgt David Ferguson said: "This has only just been brought to our attention and sadly a significant sum of money has already been taken from the women.

The Belfast club, second in the league table behind Crusaders, were unbeaten during March and also beat Cliftonville in the Irish Cup quarter-finals.
On Saturday, Healy's men face a top of the table clash with Crusaders.
"The team are on a high at the moment and winning breeds confidence," said the former Northern Ireland striker.
"We have a cup final to look forward to and are in contention for the title, although Crusaders are still the favourites."

"After playing Mandela, it's very hard to read a script that doesn't have any of the qualities that man has," he told the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz.
"It's quite interesting what it's doing to my taste in characters," he added.
The 41-year-old was speaking ahead of the UK premiere of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in London on Thursday.
The film, which tells of the former South African president's upbringing and the 27 years he spent in prison, has been chosen as this year's Royal Film Performance.
The biopic, which runs almost two-and-a-half hours, sees Elba gradually transform from the young idealistic lawyer Mandela was to the elderly patriarch and statesman he became.
"Mapping that journey out, with all the nuances of change, was definitely something that was hard to achieve," the London-born actor said.
"We didn't shoot it entirely in chronological order, so there were times I was going from old Mandela to young Mandela. It was a juggling act."
Playing Nelson as an older man proved easier, however, as the actor was able to use his late father Winston "as a reference point".
Elba said there was "no comparison" between his formative years in Hackney and Mandela's life in South Africa under the apartheid regime.
Yet the actor conceded that, like Mandela, he was "born into a country where it was 'us and them'".
"There was racism and I grew up amongst it," he said.
The prejudice he experienced, however, was "only going to fuel me to go further".
Elba, 41, first came to attention playing the gangster Stringer Bell on US TV crime drama The Wire.
His success on that show, he suggested, "has made other writers and directors say 'We can write characters that aren't all white'.
"Playing the outsider is more and more interesting to me," the actor continued. "Roles where people go 'Is that Idris?' is what I'm interested in doing."
A proposed biopic of the legendary US jazz pianist Thelonious Monk is one such project, though Elba said he "wouldn't want to fake" the necessary ivory-tinkling.
The actor revealed he has been working on an album inspired by the experience of filming Mandela, but denied rumours he had been cast in Jurassic Park 4.
"I'm already a dinosaur," he joked. "I don't need to be in a dinosaur movie."
Nor would Elba cast light on suggestions he will appear as a villain in the next James Bond film. He did, however, admit he had "had a chat" with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.
"They were great but we're not sure what's going to happen," said the actor, previously tipped to be the first 'black Bond' in some newspapers.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - which co-stars Skyfall's Naomie Harris as Mandela's former wife Winnie - is released in the UK and Ireland on 3 January, 2014.
Seen as a key contender for next year's Oscars, it broke box office records in South Africa last week, earning 4.4 million rand (£256,000, $427,000) in its opening weekend. | Playing Nelson Mandela in an adaptation of his autobiography has made Idris Elba more selective about his future roles, the actor has revealed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "25213117"} | 773 | 35 | 0.543009 | 1.467544 | 0.69824 | 1.04 | 26.72 | 0.8 |

Kent slumped to 85-5 before batting became easier as the ball grew older.
Sean Dickson made 75 and Adam Rouse a gritty career-best 65 despite a broken finger, which forced him to retire briefly, as Kent posted 282 all out.
Timm van der Gugten was the pick of Glamorgan's attack with a county-best 5-79, before the hosts ended 22-0.
Australian fast bowler Michael Hogan claimed his 200th first-class wicket for the home county in three and a half seasons, and conceded just 24 runs in 18 overs.
Rouse batted for around two and a half hours as he passed 50 for the first time in the Championship, but handed over wicket-keeping duties to Tom Latham.
A draw remains the most likely result after more than a day's play was lost to rain.
Glamorgan fast bowler Timm van der Gugten told BBC Wales Sport: "I thought it was a pretty even day to be fair, we bowled well in clumps but when the ball goes soft, it's quite nice to bat out there, but we stuck at it and hopefully we can build a good lead.
"Before I came here, I'd only played three or four first-class games (in Australia and for the Netherlands) and it's been a good learning curve, playing a lot of cricket with not much recovery, and chopping and changing between the formats has been different as well, but the hard work is paying off.
"I think there's a bit of rain around (on day four), so it'll depend on that and how we start. Potentially we could set up the game for a good crack at them."
Kent wicket-keeper Adam Rouse told BBC Radio Kent: "My hand's in a bit of bother, I'm going to have an X-ray to see how it is but last night's X-ray shows it (my finger) is fractured.
"The coaches left it up to me how much I played and it wasn't too bad keeping (in the first innings), I got five catches which is nice.
"It's definitely going to be one to remember (making a first 50) with everything that's gone on, but credit to the physio for keeping me out there and the boys for showing their appreciation which makes it a lot easier.

Falcons have also conceded an average of 40 points per game, including last weekend's 41-3 defeat by Exeter Chiefs.
Inferior points' difference leaves Newcastle bottom, below London Irish who are also yet to record a victory.
"I don't feel it at all, I just don't like losing and neither do the players," Richards told BBC Newcastle.
"You boys [the media] probably like to put pressure on, in a Jose Mourinho situation you boys thrive on it."
Newly-promoted Worcester are next up for Richards' side, having already picked up their first win of the campaign in a shock home victory against Northampton.
The former Leicester and Harlequins boss says the Warriors are a "good side" but says the answers to addressing their form lie in their own preparation.
"We've got too good a squad to languish," he added.
"We have to look at our own performances, it's understanding how we want to play and making it happen.

The two sides drew 5-5 on New Year's Day, after Torquay had beaten Rovers 4-3 on Boxing Day.
"The last two games have been absolute madness," Richards told BBC Devon.
"How can we score five goals away and not win the game? It's beyond me, but if someone had said we'd get a point before kick-off we'd have taken it."
Having gone a goal down, the Gulls led 4-2 and then 5-3 before conceding twice in the final seven minutes.
There were similarities with the Boxing Day game when Torquay snatched a late winner having given up a three-goal lead in the second half.
The Gulls remain 17th in the National League, six points off the relegation places while third-placed Forest Green are now six points behind leaders Lincoln City.
"It's easy for us to turn it on against the bigger teams as we have nothing to lose," added Richards.
"It's important that we move forward and be consistent in dealing with the teams in and around us so that we can start creating some gaps and not get sucked into a fight we don't want to be in." | Torquay United captain Courtney Richards has said he cannot believe the results between his side and Forest Green Rovers over the festive period. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38485784"} | 273 | 31 | 0.609409 | 1.420575 | -0.107544 | 0.56 | 9.6 | 0.48 |

The Ecuadorian international started only his second Premier League game of the campaign as the Swans lost 3-1 at West Brom on Wednesday.
When he arrived at the Swans in July 2014, Montero proved a hit and Bradley said the wideman could prove vital as the Welsh club battles relegation.
"We all want to see if we can make more from Jeff," Bradley said.
Originally signed from Mexican side Morelia, Montero put pen to paper on a new deal to keep him at Swansea until 2020 back in September.
He has made 62 Premier League appearances, but half of those have been from the bench and he has just one league goal for the Welsh club, after he found the net against Stoke back in May 2015.
Montero returned to Swansea injured after playing for Ecuador in the Copa America in the summer and has managed just two Premier League starts and seven appearances off the bench this term.
"When I first arrived he wasn't even in regular training," said Bradley.
"We want to make him better, make him more complete, more consistent. Jeff is really well liked by the other players and really well respected. When guys talk about who they like to play with they mention his name.
"There's a lot that's positive, but there are still times when he wants every ball to his feet and he'll try to create havoc. He's good at it, but I think he'd be even more difficult to defend against if he mixed up his movements and at times put the defender on his heels.
"In those areas Jeff needs to improve if he is to get himself to the top, top level. It's exciting for all of us to work with him every day.
"There have been times when he's been a really good wildcard to air in the second-half, but I've always thought, I'm not just going to accept that's his role. I want to see if he can impact a game from the beginning."
The Swans are mired in the relegation places and face another important game on Saturday as they travel to Middlesbrough who are just one place and three points ahead of them.
It remains to be seen if Bradley starts Montero at the Riverside Stadium, but the Swans' boss admits the winger is one of the most dangerous players in his squad when firing on all cylinders.
"Jeff's not a young player, but it's still early in terms of getting to know him," added Bradley.
"We'll try to keep pushing him forwards because he certainly has something about him with the ball at his feet.
"Our supporters love him and it's what opponents are scared of.

He couldn't have been more wrong.
However, had he said that 2015 would be the year - history might have judged him as prophetic.
Figures from the UK car industry this week suggest we might finally be waking up to the electric revolution.
In March 2015, we bought more than 6,000 "plug-in" cars, compared with around 1200 in March 2014 - a 400% increase.
Plug-in hybrids - which have a conventional engine as well as an electric motor - saw sales rise by 984% over the same period, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), admittedly from a very low base.
Given the fall in the oil price, which has made conventional motoring cheaper, you might have thought that electric vehicles would be falling out of favour.
In fact, the opposite has happened.
Indeed, if the trend continues, we could well buy more than 30,000 electric vehicles this year alone.
But the good news is also the bad: The government's £5,000 subsidy on each new car will run out when a total of 50,000 have been sold - and that target could now be reached before the end of the year.
So what has changed since 2011?
To start with, there are many more plug-in models to chose from. Then there were just six; now there are 27 models which qualify for the government grant.
The network of charging points has also expanded. There are now 3,000 places in the UK where you can plug in, and by doing so take advantage of motoring costs as low as 2p a mile.
"It's a classic rolling boulder," says Jim Holder, the editor of What Car? magazine.
"More manufacturers have come in, the infrastructure has grown, and there are a lot of incentives behind buying a car."
Those incentives have been key: Road tax exemption, free entry to London's congestion zone, and the fact that the government currently pays as much as £5,000 towards the cost of a car - the plug-in grant. Company car tax rates are also much lower (see below).
But beware. By my calculations, based on government and the SMMT figures, 31,000 plug-in grants have now been paid - leaving another 19,000 before the scheme ends.
Given that we bought 8,500 eligible cars in the first three months of 2015, the grants may well run out by the Autumn. If you're thinking of going electric, it may pay you to put your foot down.
The scheme is due to be reviewed in May, but as yet no one knows whether the subsidy will be extended.
At his show-room in north London, car dealer Larry Wood, of Hummingbird Motors, is unperturbed. The main reason is that Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - a plug-in hybrid SUV - has proved so popular.
It is now Britain's best-selling electric car, with more than 10,000 sales in the last year. He believes customers won't stop buying them, even if the plug-in grant is no longer available.
"If that does run out in the future, I still think people will buy these cars, but it just makes them £5,000 cheaper," he says.
In any case, some of his best customers are businesses, for whom the capital cost is not the only consideration. The main attraction for them is a lower rate of car tax.
While the most polluting cars pay 35% in company car tax, electric cars - even though they used to be exempt - pay 5%.
As a result, any business with a fleet of vehicles could still save thousands of pounds a year by going electric.
Most of the problems initially associated with electric vehicles are gradually being resolved, or so the industry would have you believe.
"Range anxiety" - the fear of running out of charge - does not apply if you buy a hybrid car, which switches to its conventional engine as soon as the battery runs out of power.
Nevertheless, those who drive pure electric cars still worry about getting stranded.
"Range anxiety will never go away," says Jim Holder.
But ranges are being extended. Whereas a maximum range of 100 miles used to be typical, the latest cars offer well over that. General Motors hopes that its Bolt model, currently on the drawing board, will have a 200 mile range.
The super-expensive Tesla S - already on sale in the UK - will go for 310 miles without a charge, according to the manufacturer.
Another problem has been the cost of batteries, the main reason that electric cars are so pricey in the first place.
But advances in technology could make them cost-competitive with petrol engines in less than a decade, according to two Swedish scientists.
Time spent charging has been another bugbear of electric motorists - if you can find a charge point of course.
The government boasts there are now 7,000 in the UK, in 3,000 locations. 500 of those are "fast chargers", which can offer a 50% charge in as little as 20 minutes.
But in reality, most charging stops are going to be for at least half an hour.
And for motorists, understanding the rival charge point networks - and the different costs for using them - still requires some tenacity.
Public subsidies for infrastructure have also changed, with the government ending its specific grant of up to £7,500 per charge point.
However, there is still some support available for owners under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, which pays householders up to £700 to have a charge point installed at home.
What is undeniable is that the appeal of the cars themselves has certainly improved.
Where once electric cars looked like garden shed conversions, the designers of BMW and Porsche have now worked magic.
Performance too has improved significantly.
"You now get instant torque away from the traffic lights," says Jim Holder. "Frankly, not even a Ferrari will beat you off the line." | Just before Christmas 2010, the then transport secretary, Philip Hammond, declared that 2011 would be the year of the electric car. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32217969"} | 1,286 | 26 | 0.414145 | 1.051405 | -0.283724 | 1.44 | 47.96 | 0.72 |
The newly elected Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa said Okumbi, who coached Kenyan premiership side Mathare United last season, will take interim charge of the Harambee Stars when they play Guinea Bissau next month.
Williamson had been the Kenyan national coach since August 2014.
He was believed to be owed up to $30,000 in salary arrears by the former FKF administration.
Mwendwa made his decision to overhaul the coaching set-up following a meeting with Williamson on Monday.
"The appointment of Okumbi is geared towards building local capacity," said Mwendwa on the FKF website.
"We have picked our own whom I believe have the capacity to do the job. Personally I love the passing game and believe in our own style."
Former international Musa Otieno, who was Williamson's assistant, has been retained.
Under Williamson, Kenya drew 1-1 away to Congo and lost 2-1 at home to Zambia in their first two 2017 Nations Cup matches, | Kenya have replaced Bobby Williamson as coach of the national team with former youth coach Stanley Okumbi for the next round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35621959"} | 230 | 33 | 0.651203 | 1.313679 | 0.325593 | 0.714286 | 6.857143 | 0.642857 |
