A student who found Anglo Saxon jewellery of "national significance" said the discovery has made three years exploring the field worthwhile.

Article: The findings, presented at the Neuroscience 2016 conference, harnessed data from 2.4 million people who downloaded the game.
Getting lost is one of the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
And the researchers at University College London believe the results could help make a dementia test.
Sea Hero Quest is a nautical adventure to save an old sailor's lost memories.
With the touch of a smartphone screen, players sail a boat round desert islands and icy oceans.
The game anonymously records the player's sense of direction and navigational ability as they work their way through the levels.
Some require them to weave through waterways and fire a flare back home, while others challenge them to memorise a sequence of buoys and then sail round them.
Data harnessed from the flare levels is the first to have been analysed, by scientists at University College London.
And it suggests the sense of direction declines consistently after the teenage years.
Players aged 19 were 74% accurate at firing the flare back home, but accuracy fell year by year until it reached 46% at age 75.
Dr Hugo Spiers told the BBC: "What we're able to announce to the world is it does decline across the lifespan, the ability to shoot the flare back to the target - that sense of direction."
The data also suggests men have a slight better sense of direction than women and that the Nordic nations outperform the rest in the world, although it is not yet clear why.
Ideas include:
The point of the research is to develop a way of diagnosing dementia in its earliest stages - something not yet possible.
Becoming completely disorientated is normally rare, but is more common in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Having a record of the normal decline in the internal compass could help doctors spot patients developing Alzheimer's.
Dr Spiers added: "The value of a future test built from Sea Hero Quest is that we will be able to provide a diagnostic for Alzheimer's dementia and a tool that allows us to monitor performance in drug trials."

Summary: The world's largest dementia research experiment, which takes the form of a video game, has indicated the ability to navigate declines throughout life.

Article: Tom Lucking found a gold pendant inlaid with a profusion of garnets while metal detecting on farmland in 2014.
The 7cm (2.8in) item was found in the grave of a female and has been described as one of the "most elaborate...ever found".
It was declared treasure alongside other items at an inquest in Norwich.
Why is Norfolk a treasure hunting hotspot?
Mr Lucking, 23, a student from Felixstowe who is in his final year studying history at the University of East Anglia, said the discovery "had certainly given me a good dissertation project".
He said: "It makes me pleased I've put time and effort in metal detecting in that field and it was worth going out into the cold and rain over the years to find those things."
He unearthed the pendant whilst exploring a field near Diss, after initially detecting a bronze bowl.
After the inquest on Monday, Mr Lucking said: "You can hope, but never really expect to find something like this.
"It's not about the money value, it's about finding something that makes you re-think the whole history of an area."
Julie Shoemark, finds officer for Norfolk, said the burial dates to the cusp of the early Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England, around the middle of the 7th century AD.
She said: "Within a century of this lady's death, burial practices had completely changed and people were being interred with no associated grave goods, as seen in the burials from Great Ryburgh.
"She was undoubtedly a lady of some status in the community of East Anglia as the magnificent garnet inlaid pendant and associated grave goods demonstrate."
Dr Andrew Rogerson, of the county's Heritage Environment Services, previously described the pendant as one of the "most elaborate...ever found".
He said: "It would seem we have something of major significance."
The British Museum report for the coroner listed a number of precious coins and jewellery found alongside the woman's skeleton.

The government in Indian-administered Kashmir has put curbs on excessively lavish weddings.

Article: A 53-page report has highlighted efforts to boost freight and passenger numbers as key drivers of success.
The business review document also places importance on Prestwick's bid to become the UK's first spaceport.
The Scottish government bought the struggling airport for £1 last year and later announced £10m in loan funding.
The cash was committed towards operating costs, a repairs backlog and to make improvements to the terminal building.
The long-term strategy has been based upon reports and recommendations from a senior advisor appointed by TS Prestwick Holdco Ltd, the holding company that was created by the Scottish government to buy shares in the airport and oversee its corporate governance.
The strategic vision said the Ayrshire terminal's association with Glasgow, some 35 miles away, was its "best asset".
A local campaign to change its name to Robert Burns International Airport, in recognition of the Alloway-born bard, would "damage the airport's business prospects, notably with inbound passengers", it said.
The vision also confirms Prestwick's bid to be the site of the UK's first spaceport, which it said will be "the catalyst for transformational change".
In the meantime, Prestwick faces some challenges including aged infrastructure, a maintenance backlog, a railway station in need of a £4.75m refurbishment, the need for a new primary radar within the next five years and Ryanair's expansion into Glasgow Airport.
The vision also said Scottish airports were "disproportionally affected" by air passenger duty (APD) due to their geographic location and Prestwick is calling for changes to UK aviation policy leading to a reduction in or removal of APD.
Prestwick chief executive Iain Cochrane said: "Our long-term vision for Glasgow Prestwick, which is shared by the Scottish government, is of a high-quality, exceptional value and vibrant aviation, aerospace and visitor hub.
"We aim to ensure that it becomes the busy and prosperous strategic anchor for economic growth and delivery in Ayrshire and Scotland that...

Article: Parents of brides cannot invite more than 500 guests, and the number has been limited to 400 for grooms.
The government also said that no more than seven main dishes can be served to "ensure that there is no wastage of any food items".
An MP has also proposed a bill to impose a similar ban on expensive weddings across India.
Weddings are expensive in Kashmir, and the traditional feast, locally called Wazwan, includes a range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
The state government said the order, which comes into effect from 1 April, was issued in response to public complaints about extravagance, waste and intrusive noise.
The state had imposed a similar ban in 1984, but it was revoked after protests.
Marriages are costly in other parts of India as well, and many people spend lavishly on food, clothes and entertainment.
In November, the five-day wedding of businessman and former Karnataka state minister G Janardhana Reddy's daughter, Brahmani, with an estimated cost of about 5bn rupees ($74m; £59m), prompted outrage as millions of Indians struggled with a cash flow crisis.
Among the extravagances were gold-plated invitation cards fitted with LCD screens, costing 10m rupees.
Here are a few of the world's most expensive weddings:

The European Commission has approved a gene therapy for a rare genetic disease which leaves people unable to properly digest fats.
The European Commission will now make the final decision.
The idea of gene therapy is simple: if there is a problem with part of a patient's genetic code then replace that part of the code.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has downgraded Thailand's aviation standards, "red flagging" the country for failing to address safety concerns.

Article: Gene therapies alter a patient's DNA to treat inherited diseases passed from parent to child.
The European Medicines Agency has recommended
 a therapy for a rare genetic disease which leaves people unable to properly digest fats.
The European Commission will now make the final decision.
The idea of gene therapy is simple: if there is a problem with part of a patient's genetic code then replace that part of the code.
The reality has not been so easy. In one gene therapy trial a US teenager, Jesse Gelsinger, died, and other patients have developed leukaemia.
There are no gene therapies available outside of a research lab in Europe or the US.
The European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has considered the use of Glybera to treat lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
One in a million people have the deficiency. They have damaged copies of a gene which is essential for breaking down fat.
It leads to fat building up in the blood, abdominal pain and life-threatening pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
The only way to manage the condition is by having a very low-fat diet.
The therapy uses a virus to infect muscle cells with a working copy of the gene.
It was recommended for patients with severe pancreatitis, who cannot control the disease through diet.
The manufacturer, UniQure, said the decision was a "major breakthrough" for patients and medicine as a whole.
UniQure chief executive officer Jorn Aldag said: "Patients with lipoprotein lipase deficiency are afraid of eating a normal meal because it can lead to acute and extremely painful inflammation of the pancreas, often resulting in a visit to intensive care.
"Now, for the first time, a treatment exists for these patients that not only reduces this risk of getting severely sick, but also has a multi-year beneficial effect after just a single injection.
"Restoring the body's natural ability to break down fat particles in the blood, in order to prevent pancreatitis and excruciating abdominal pain suffered by patients, is what gene...

Summary: Europe is on the cusp of approving a gene therapy for the first time, in what would be a landmark moment for the field.

Article: In March, the ICAO issued an alert on Thailand's aviation body after a safety audit revealed that it failed to adequately oversee its airlines.
The move led to a ban on new flights to China, Japan and South Korea.
Thai officials had then submitted plans to deal with the concerns in March.
But, the ICAO "red flagged" the country's body on Thursday for failing to solve the issues within 90 days.
Thailand's aviation sector joins 12 other developing countries, including Nepal and Sierra Leone, that have been downgraded to Category 2 from Category 1 by the organisation for its safety standards.
An audit in January by the United Nations body had found that Thailand's aviation authority had a shortage of technical officers and issues with certifying the transportation of hazardous goods.
The warning meant the country's airlines had to cancel flights and refund or alter thousands of air tickets.
The country's flag carrier, Thai Airways, said in a statement that it followed the "highest safety standards" in all operational areas, despite the red flag from the international regulator.

Summary:


The BBC has announced that it will be the exclusive broadcaster of the Six Nations and covers TV, radio and online.

The BBC has agreed a deal to broadcast the Six Nations until 2017.

Article: The £56bn programme has too ambitious a schedule and rising costs could mean that not all its intended benefits are delivered, the NAO said.
The NAO said the 2026 target opening date for the first phase was "at risk, despite good progress".
But HS2 Ltd said it was confident that it could achieve its objectives.
The first phase of HS2, linking London and the West Midlands, is due to be completed in 10 years' time.
The next section, running as far as Crewe, is due to open a year later in 2027, with a further extension to Manchester and Leeds due to be finished by 2033.
The project cleared its final Commons stage in March and is now being considered by the House of Lords.
The NAO report was written before the Brexit vote, so it doesn't speculate on what effect, if any, it could have on HS2.
Still, this behemoth of a project involving £56bn of public money would appear to be safe, for now.
The Department for Transport's very keen to send out a "business as usual" message, promising that planned investment in our roads and railways won't suffer.
MPs are due to vote on phase one of HS2 later this year. If they approve the bill, that's effectively the green light to start building the line from London to Birmingham. And MPs approved the project overwhelmingly the last time they had a vote.
The company building the line, HS2 Ltd, is also about to hand out £11bn worth of contracts in the next couple of months. The winning companies can't begin building work until the HS2 bill has royal assent, due by the end of the year, but they will be looking to recruit, hire vehicles, get plans in place.
Having said all of that, who'd be brave enough to predict anything right now.
"HS2 is a large, complex and ambitious programme which is facing cost and time pressures," said Amyas Morse, head of the NAO.
"The unrealistic timetable set for HS2 Ltd by the Department [for Transport] means they are not as ready to deliver as they hoped to be at this point.
"The Department now needs to get the project working to a timescale that is...

Article: It extends BBC Sport's current deal, which runs until 2013, as exclusive broadcaster of the Six Nations and covers TV, radio and online.
This year's tournament saw audiences increase to their highest level for 13 years, with an average audience of 4.7m per match.
"The Six Nations is a crown jewel in the sporting calendar," said BBC director of sport Barbara Slater.
The championship, the premier annual northern hemisphere rugby union tournament, is contested by England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy every February and March.
"We're delighted that we can continue to bring the tournament to our audiences," Slater added.
"Viewing figures continue to grow year on year and we look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the Six Nations to build interest even further through the BBC's unparalleled offering of TV, radio, online and interactive services."
In total over 30m people within Britain watched some of this year's tournament.
Among the most memorable matches in the 2011 edition were Italy securing a first ever Six Nations win over France and England, who had won their first four matches, being denied the Grand Slam when they lost to Ireland.
John Feehan, chief executive of the Six Nations, added: "We are delighted that BBC Sport will maintain, extend and enhance its coverage of the RBS Six Nations, the world's biggest annual rugby tournament, for a further four years to March 2017."

Article: Federica Mogherini said they had agreed to work on closer ties in a number of areas, including the economy, energy, education, migration and transport.
The visit follows last year's historic nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.
She said the results of their talks would "make a real difference" to the lives of Iranians and Europeans.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has been holding talks with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the presidential palace in Ankara.
They agreed to increase banking and economic co-operation and boost trade to $30bn (Â£21bn) within two years.
Mr Erdogan said they also agreed to "reduce our differences" over Syria and other issues, to "work together to overcome the problems of terrorism and sectarianism and the related humanitarian crises that are shaking our region".
Ms Mogherini said the issue of Syria and stability in the Middle East region had been discussed in her talks with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Also, the question of human rights in Iran, of which she said "it is not a secret we have some concerns in this respect".
Mr Zarif, for his part, welcomed the EU's support for Iran's bid to join the World Trade Organization, but called on the US to fulfil their commitments in relation to the nuclear deal and remove obstacles to the banking sector.
Major European banks and businesses continue to be wary of investing in Iran, where US sanctions are still in place linked to alleged terrorism and human rights questions.
"Iran and the EU will put pressure on the United States to facilitate the co-operation of non-American banks with Iran," Mr Zarif said. "It's essential that the other side, especially the United States, fulfil its commitments not on paper but in practice and removes the obstacles especially in banking sector."
Engaging directly with Iran - a key player in Syria - is for Europe one of the main benefits of the nuclear deal.
Iranian officials also said they wanted to strengthen this relationship - especially because the kind of dialogue is...

Article: The Islamic Center of Boca Raton had planned to host a polling site for the state's primary in August and the general election in November.
Officials rescinded the invitation, drawing sharp criticism from Florida lawmakers who said it reinforced religious discrimination.
The site was moved to a nearby library.
County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher said she moved the site after receiving about 50 complaints from people who said they did not want to vote in a mosque.
The Islamic Center has been used as a polling station at least since 2010, the Washington Post reported.
Democratic US Representatives Ted Deutch and Lois Frankel released statements opposing the move.
"If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate,'' Mr Deutch said.
It is unclear how many houses of worship are used as polling places across the country, but churches are often selected as host sites because of their large auditoriums and parking lots.
Mosques in California, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Ohio have served as polling places, including one that has been used since at least 2004, according to the AP news agency.

Summary:


The number of people who are diagnosed with cancer in 2015 was about 19,000, compared to about 17,300 in 2006.
The report said the main reason for the increase was an ageing population.
The report said there was "good news" by way of significant reductions in smoking rates in recent decades.

The number of cancer cases in Wales has risen by almost 10% over a 10-year period.

Article: The study launched on Wednesday by the government-sponsored watchdog also found men were central to 72% of print news stories.
The report found "significant" stereotypes about gender in adverts.
It added most journalists in the country are men - one study showed only 7% of politics articles were by women.
One part of the Kenyan Media Council's report showed extreme gender imbalance in politics reporting.
Ahead of Kenya's election in 2012, the council analysed 276 articles about the vote in Kenyan newspapers.
Women were the central character of the news stories in only 4% of the articles and only 7% of the stories were written by women.
At the launch of the report Rhonda Breit, associate dean at the graduate school of journalism at the Aga Khan University in Kenya's capital Nairobi, pointed out that these issues are not unique to Kenya.
"The issues are very similar in other countries - inequalities within the work environment around women reaching the glass ceiling and not having the opportunities to do stories on politics and crime".
The Global Media Monitoring Project found in its 2015 report on 108 countries that women make up only 24% of the people heard, read about or seen in newspaper, television and radio news.

Summary: Men are 10 times more likely than women to be used as a source for a news story Kenyan media, according to the country's media council.

Article: There were about 19,000 diagnoses in 2015, compared to about 17,300 in 2006.
Public Health Wales (PHW) said the main reason for the increase was an ageing population.
The organisation's Dr Dyfed Wyn Huws said there was "good news" by way of significant reductions in smoking rates in recent decades.
There was a year-on-year decrease from about 19,800 cases in 2014, but the 2015 figure of 19,088 is likely to increase as statisticians revise the numbers.
Once age factors are taken into account, the rate decreased by more than 5% in men, but increased by more than 5% among women between 2006 and 2015.
This is partly due to the rate of lung cancer going down in men, but up among women. Historically, smoking rates peaked far earlier among men than women.
Breast, prostate, lung and bowel cancers remain the most common.
According to PHW, cases of liver, mouth, throat and melanoma skin cancer saw the biggest percentage increases.
The rates of stomach cancer and prostate cancer decreased, while mesothelioma rates increased by almost a third.
Dr Huws said: "We know that up to four in 10 of cancers in the population may be preventable.
"With an increasing number of cancer cases each year, cancer control is possible and important for future generations and for keeping rising health service demand in check.
"The good news is that we have seen significant reductions in smoking rates in recent decades.
"This is already bringing cancer rates down in men."

Prince Charles asked the Blair government to consider the culling of badgers, historic documents reveal.

Article: Fr Gary Donegan was involved in talks to help resolve a long-running parade dispute in Ardoyne, north Belfast.
He said there was a "different atmosphere" in Ardoyne as marchers passed through on Wednesday morning.
However, he said it was a "small step" and there was more work to do.
Fr Donegan, who is now working in Crossgar, County Down, returned to Ardoyne on 12 July to watch as the morning parade "passed by very peacefully and quietly" on Wednesday.
He told BBC Radio Ulster that "very few" nationalist residents congregated along the route of the march this year.
"I'd say 80 people at most was the largest crowd that had actually gathered on the nationalist side  - compared to previous years there were hundreds - and there was nothing to see."
The priest added: "Yesterday was a step - it was massive in many ways but small in other ways and we have to say 'Ok right, reflect on what actually happened - how can we actually build on this?'
"The more we inch forward to normality, and these things just pass through without reaction and pass by with dignity and respect, then the place gets a different perspective, a different name.
"Possibly then, the real issues that are there, such as unemployment, education, housing and infrastructure, could be addressed".
Fr Donegan added that finding a long-term solution to contentious parades was an "ongoing process".
The Ardoyne parade dispute - which has cost an estimated Â£20m to police - began after a Parades Commission determination not to allow the return or evening leg of the march to pass a section of the Crumlin Road in 2013.
Loyalists staged nightly protests in the area until October last year, when the Orange Order reached an agreement with the nationalist residents' association the Crumlin Ardoyne Residents Association (Cara).
However, another nationalist residents' group - the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (Garc) - rejected the deal and protested against the 1 October march.
Fr Donegan said that after marchers "completed" the disputed 2013 parade on 1...

Article: In a 2005 letter, the prince referred to "the most pressing and urgent problem" of tuberculosis (TB) in cattle, which was "caused and spread" by badgers.
He wrote: "I do urge you to look again at introducing a proper cull of badgers where it is necessary.
The Labour government later rejected a cull in the English countryside.
The revelations come from private letters sent by the Prince of Wales to Labour ministers a decade ago, which have been published after a lengthy legal battle.
Prince Charles wrote: "I, for one, cannot understand how the 'badger lobby' seem to mind not at all about the slaughter of thousands of expensive cattle, and yet object to a managed cull of an over-population of badgers - to me, this is intellectually dishonest."
In reply, Mr Blair said he could "personally see the case for culling badgers" but did not want to prejudge a decision by environment ministers".
The coalition led by David Cameron gave the go-ahead for pilot culls in England in 2013.
These are expected to resume for a third year in the Southwest this year and may be rolled out to other areas of England.
Other letters written by the prince reveal more details of his interest in agriculture.
He appealed for support for farmers and British-grown produce, and raised his "anxiety" about the country's lack of self-sufficiency in foods such as meat and vegetables.
He also mentioned "the enormous problem of climate change", praising "the remarkable leadership role" the government was taking in this area.

Article: The firm first acknowledged the issues in a tweet shortly after 09:00 BST and said they had been resolved three and a half hours later.
Its troubles also caused several banks to be unable to offer online services.
BT said that a power fault at one of its partners' sites in London was the cause, but did not name the company involved.
However, the BBC discovered that ultimate responsibility lay with the California-based data centre operator Equinix.
"We're sorry that some BT and Plusnet customers experienced problems accessing some internet services this morning," said a spokeswoman for BT.
"Around 10% of customers' internet usage was affected following power issues at one of our internet connection partners' sites in London. The issue has now been fixed and services have been restored."
BT's service status pages had indicated that subscribers in parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland had all been affected.
The event occurred six months after Equinix took control of the data centre involved as part of its takeover of the Telecity Group.
"Equinix can confirm that we experienced a brief outage at the former Telecity LD8 site in London earlier this morning," said Russell Poole, managing director in the UK for Equinix.
"This impacted a limited number of customers, however service was restored within minutes. Equinix engineers are on site and actively working with customers to minimise the impact."
BT's problems turn out to have been caused by a 20 minute power cut at a data centre in London's Docklands.

Article: It proposes the line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank should be improved and extended via Hawick to Carlisle.
The report, produced by the Campaign for Borders Rail (CBR), said that could provide a "new strategic link" in the national network.
Extending the line is already being examined as part of a wider study of transport issues in southern Scotland.
"We believe that the Borders needs a through route to the south to maximise the region's economic potential," the CBR report states.
"For Hawick, a rail link is vital."
The Summary Case for a New Cross-Border Rail Link adds: "CBR is committed to making the case for further rail-led economic and social regeneration of the Borders and a transformative new cross-border rail link."
Now it is time for Hawick and other communities in the southern Borders to benefit directly.
The briefing sees the vision for an extended Borders Railway as an "exciting opportunity".
"This document will help inform the debate on preparing for the proposed railway through the Scottish Borders to Carlisle and beyond," said Allan McLean, chairman of the CBR.
"The economies of Edinburgh, Midlothian and the northern Borders have all gained demonstrably from the opening of the Borders Railway.
"Now it is time for Hawick and other communities in the southern Borders to benefit directly."
The briefing document sets out the CBR's commercial, social and economic cases for a new railway linking the existing Tweedbank terminus to the West Coast Main Line at Mossband, just north of Carlisle.
"The completed railway would allow through trains between Edinburgh and Carlisle, serving intermediate settlements including Hawick," the report states.
"Communities not directly served would benefit from access by connecting bus services and park and ride stations."

Article: Adrian Brown, 38, experienced a "severe psychotic episode" when he stabbed Muhammed Ali on a London Overground train on 12 December 2016.
Judge Deborah Taylor QC ordered that Brown should be detained indefinitely.
She added he would only be released on the order of a judge or the government.
Brown, of Brockley Rise, south-east London, appeared via video link from Broadmoor Hospital during the hearing.
A jury found Brown not guilty following a two-day trial at Southwark Crown Court.
He was also found not guilty, by reason of insanity, of possession of an offensive weapon and of assault by beating of Mr Ali.
The trial heard Brown had been delusional in his belief he would "save humanity" and exorcise a Muslim demon haunting him by stabbing his victim.
The court was told he was heard by other passengers to say "Where are all the Muslims? I am going to kill all the Muslims", before holding a knife to the throat of another woman, who was unhurt.
Brown accepted carrying out the attack but pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity.
Mr Ali had been travelling home with his wife when the assault took place between Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill, south London.
He told court that the attack had left him too frightened to leave his house.
"I struggle to sleep at the time because every time I shut my eyes I have flashbacks to the whole thing", he said.
"I can only assume it was me because my wife was wearing a headscarf."
Detaining Brown indefinitely under section 37 of the Mental Health Act, Judge Taylor said: "You have a long history of psychotic illness and on that day you were suffering and you continue to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia.
"There's no doubt that if it had not been for the prompt intervention of an off-duty police officer and two medical practitioners that he he may well have died such were the severity of his injuries and the loss of blood."

Summary:


The Australian government has rejected a proposal to consult Aboriginal people first about recognising them in the nation's constitution.

The US has warned North Korea to refrain from "irresponsible provocation" after the communist state said its main nuclear facility had resumed normal operations.

Article: Aboriginal leaders want their own people to agree first on how to move towards constitutional recognition for the country's first peoples.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said such a move would not gain broader support.
Indigenous Australians are not mentioned in the constitution and a treaty was never negotiated with them.
Mr Abbott has pledged to hold a referendum in 2017 that could see Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders recognised as the first Australians.
Indigenous leaders are angry Mr Abbott has rejected their proposals to hold Indigenous-only meetings first.
But in a letter to Indigenous leaders, published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday, Mr Abbott said holding Indigenous-only meetings first risked creating "a log of claims".
He said his "anxiety about a separate Indigenous process is that it jars with the notion of finally substituting 'we' for 'them and us'".
"I am in favour of building consensus, but strongly believe that this should be a national consensus in favour of a particular form of recognition rather than simply an Indigenous one," Mr Abbott said.
Influential Cape York leader Noel Pearson told local media Mr Abbott's "log of claims" comments was "probably the most dismal part of this whole matter â€” it's almost offensive".
A Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples has recommended these changes to the constitution:
Repealing the two so-called "race provisions":
Indigenous lawyer Patrick Dodson said Aboriginal Australians needed to have their "own discussions" on "complicated matters".
"Until you can get something that is consensual it is very difficult to give them comfort to a proposition that may or may not have their support," Mr Dodson told National Indigenous Television (NITV).
Speaking at an Indigenous festival in the Northern Territory on the weekend, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda said it was hard not to feel despair.

Article: The reactor at Yongbyon has been the source of plutonium for North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
The White House said North Korea should "focus instead on fulfilling its international obligations".
The reactor was shut down in 2007 as part of a disarmament-for-aid deal.
But Pyongyang vowed to restart it in 2013, following its third nuclear test and amid high regional tensions.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the international community would not accept North Korea as a nuclear state.
"We will work with our partners in the context of the six-party talks to try to return North Korea to a posture of fulfilling those commitments that they have made," he said.
"We will repeat our call that North Korea should refrain from the irresponsible provocations that aggravate regional tension and should focus instead on fulfilling its international obligations and commitments."
Six-nation talks involving South Korea, the US, China, Japan and Russia aimed at ending the North's nuclear programme have been stalled since 2009.
Experts believe that, when fully operational, the Yongbyon reactor can make one nuclear bomb's worth of plutonium per year.
A US think-tank said this year that satellite images suggested work had started at the Yongbyon complex.
But Tuesday's announcement was the first official confirmation from North Korea that it had restarted operations there.
The state-run news agency KCNA said North Korea was improving its nuclear weapons "in quality and quantity".
It said that the North was ready to face US hostility with "nuclear weapons any time".
However, experts say North Korea's nuclear capabilities are unclear.
Pyongyang claims it has made a device small enough to fit a nuclear warhead on to a missile, which it could launch at its enemies. But US officials have cast doubt on the claim.
North Korea has made bellicose threats against its neighbours and the US before, often to coincide with annual joint military exercises held by South Korea and US forces.
The two Koreas remain technically at war,...

Summary:


The US Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty is unconstitutional.

The chairmen of five parliamentary committees have written to David Cameron to urge him to remove overseas student numbers from migration targets.

Article: Conservative judges on the high court seemed to agree with Oklahoma's use of midazolam, with some questioning why the court was hearing the case at all.
Lawyers for three of the state's death row inmates say the drug presents an unconstitutional risk of pain and suffering.
Their executions have been put on hold amid the court review.
The Supreme Court justices previously ruled Oklahoma could not execute Richard Glossip, John Grant and Benjamin Cole by lethal injection using midazolam while the case is pending.
At issue before the Supreme Court is not the constitutionality of the death penalty, but whether the use of midazolam violates the US constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
The drug was used in three executions seen as botched in 2014.
Lawyers for the three inmates argue that midazolam cannot achieve the level of unconsciousness required and is therefore unsuitable for executions.
Oklahoma has maintained the drug is effective and that a botched execution in 2014 was the result of other factors.
The court's liberal justices questioned whether the drug was effective enough, with Justice Elena Kagan saying that if it does not work, then inmates would be "burned alive from the inside" from the other drug used in the process, potassium chloride.
Meanwhile, Justice Samuel Alito queried why the court had agreed to take the case, complaining of a "guerrilla war" by opponents of the death penalty to limit the options available for execution.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, often a deciding vote in sharply split cases, said little during the arguments.
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin recently signed a law allowing the state to use nitrogen gas as an alternative execution method.
Arizona, Florida, Ohio have also used the drug in executions.
A decision by the Supreme Court on the case is due by the end of June.

Summary: US justices appear sharply divided over whether an execution drug can be used, after arguments at the Supreme Court.

Article: They are asking him to "reconcile" the "tensions" between tougher restrictions and the desire for economic growth.
Net migration figures fell last year, with officials saying this was "largely due" to a drop in foreign students.
But the government says it is committed to stamping out abuses of the immigration system.
On Thursday, the House of Lords is set to debate the impact of immigration policy on UK higher education.
The coalition has pledged to restrict the level of annual net migration - the balance between the number of people who come to live in the UK for the long-term and the number who are leaving - to "tens of thousands".
Since last year, all institutions which want to sponsor non-European Union students for a visa must be accredited as "highly trusted".
Potential entrants have to speak a higher standard of English and the "post-study work route" to staying on has been closed, unless graduates have an offer of one of a list of skilled jobs.
The overall UK net migration figure fell from 242,000 to 183,000 in the year to March.
The Office for National Statistics said this was "largely due" to a decline in the number of foreign students despite an increase in the number of arrivals from China - the UK's largest overseas student market.
Opponents of the government's changes say they damage the economy by restricting the lucrative movement of students to the UK, putting universities at a disadvantage.
In their letter to Mr Cameron, the five select committee chairmen urge "further action to encourage international university students to study in the UK".
They add: "Doing so has the potential to support economic growth in the immediate and longer term, supporting jobs in university towns and increasing export earnings.
"International students who study in the UK also build relationships which last over time, laying the foundations for future business opportunities in emerging economies, and supporting our foreign policy objectives."
They also ask the prime minister to "reconcile the remaining tensions...

Summary:


Clydesdale Bank is to set aside as much as £500m in extra funding this year to compensate customers for mis-selling of financial products.

Article: A court was told that John Duncan, who had only taken six driving lessons, was spotted driving at "grossly excessive" speed on Dundee's Kingsway.
Duncan ploughed through a barrier before hitting a set of concrete steps leading to a pedestrian bridge.
The bridge has not re-opened since the incident and is waiting to be repaired.
Depute fiscal Susan Ruta told Dundee Sheriff Court that Duncan had only been released from prison a few months earlier after serving another sentence.
She said: "He drove off down the A90 Kingsway and a few minutes later approached the roundabout driving at grossly excessive speed.
"He attempted to negotiate it but took it too wide.
"He moved through the safety barrier and collided with the footbridge, causing significant damage.
"One of his passengers was taken to Ninewells Hospital with a cut to her forehead and significant swelling to her eye."
Duncan, 23, of Dundee, pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving, and driving without a licence or insurance on 21 January.
Solicitor advocate Kris Gilmartin, defending, said: "He had been given driving lessons for Christmas and had taken six, and in the excitement of being able to drive bought the car.
"The people he was driving that night had asked him for a favour and the temptation was too much for him."
Sheriff Alastair Brown jailed Duncan for 12 months to be served consecutively to a further five months outstanding from his licence on his previous offence.
Duncan was also banned from driving for three years and eight months.
Sheriff Brown said: "You shouldn't have been anywhere near a car that night.
"You were incompetent and over-confident."

Summary: A learner driver who caused £60,000 worth of damage after crashing a BMW into a footbridge has been jailed for 17 months.

Article: The sum is on top of more than £1.2bn set aside in previous years' provisions.
Parent company National Australian Bank (NAB) said between £350m and £500m more would be set aside this year, but added that the final cost remained uncertain.
The move was announced in its third quarter results on Monday.
Up until the end of March, NAB had set aside £806m to compensate customers for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI). A total of £325m has already been paid out.
NAB's cumulative provisions relating to interest rate hedging products amounted to £431m, about half of which has been paid out.
This year's extra funding will come from a £1.7bn mis-selling fund, which the bank is being required by UK regulators to make available after the Clydesdale is floated.
NAB is in the process of demerging and floating Glasgow-based Clydesdale, which includes the Yorkshire Bank.
It intends to complete the break-up by the end of this year.
In a statement, NAB said "substantial progress" had been made on the demerger and stock market sale. It will provide more detail with full-year results in late October.
The Australian banking group has been working hard to offload the Clydesdale, which amassed a large portfolio of bad property loans.
It has also been facing high costs of redress for mis-selling payment protection insurance and complex systems for business customers to protect against interest rate changes.

Article: The statistics agency currently publishes data at 10:00 local time and had planned to change that to 07:00.
But traders argued it could create instability in the currency, as well as making it tricky to get their children to nursery.
The agency has now agreed to publish the data at 08:00.
Statistics Norway said it had been contacted by several people in the finance industry, pointing out that such an early release time might lead to increased volatility in the buying and selling of the Norwegian krone at a time of day when trading on the markets is thin.
"By adjusting the new release time from 7 to 8am we believe we have found a good balance between the needs of Statistics Norway and the finance industry", a statement said.
The data has been released at 10:00 for nearly 20 years. The agency said this was in part because it used to be printed on paper, but now there were no such technical limitations since they were now released digitally.
The change will be introduced on 23 September.
The Norwegian Securities Dealers Association said it was "an important improvement" since dealers could at least contact clients at that hour. A spokesperson said that while they were not totally satisfied, they would accept the decision and monitor its effect on liquidity when it was introduced.

Summary: Traders in Norway have won an hour's reprieve in the battle over the new timing of the country's economic data releases.

Article: Aberdeenshire-based Harbro Group saw pre-tax profit increase by £800,000, to £3.5m, in the year to the end of June 2016.
This was despite turnover falling by £1m to just over £100m.
Harbro said international sales grew over the year, both in Europe and in new markets further afield.
The Turriff-based company manufactures and supplies feeds for the beef, sheep, dairy, pig and poultry sectors.
It also has a network of 19 shops across Scotland, operating under the Country Store brand. The stores cater for farming and rural communities with a range of products, including fireside supplies, country clothing and footwear.
In accounts filed with Companies House, the company said: "As always, the outlook for agriculture is difficult to predict.
"We have certainly been experiencing challenging times over the last 12-18 months but the industry is a robust one.
"The impact of Brexit is still to be fully understood, although the board are confident that the group will be well positioned for whatever business challenges this may bring about."

Summary:


The BBC Radio Humberside show, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4, was a hit with listeners.

Authorities in Nigeria's Lagos State have shut 70 churches and 20 mosques in an attempt to reduce high noise levels.

Article: She won a Sony Radio Award in 2012 along with co-presenter Betty Smith and the show's presenter and producer David Reeves.
Smith, who died last year aged 93, and Renwick were the oldest winners of the prestigious radio industry award.
BBC Radio Humberside's managing editor Simon Pattern described her as "a delightful and very caring Hull woman".
Her family said she had died peacefully earlier this week and had lived for her broadcasting days.
They added she was very proud of the fame she had gained for being one half of the "Dynamic Duo" with Betty Smith.
Born in 1926, Renwick worked as a conductor on Hull's trolley buses and as an assistant in a department store, before meeting Smith at a lunch club in 1999.
The friends first went on air in 2006 after meeting Reeves during a tour of the station.
The weekly, hour-long show was a mix of music and chat and ran for six years.
After picking up the best entertainment show award, they became celebrities, appearing on the BBC's One Show, and featured in newspapers and on radio stations around the world.
Co-star Reeves said she would be "sorely missed".
"Beryl was a wonderful storyteller and a great friend," he said.
"During our six years on air together she evolved into a skilled broadcaster, mastering the art to perform, entertain and shock on the radio but most importantly just to be herself.
"The Beryl and Betty Show enriched her life as much as it did the audience that tuned in every week to soak up yet more wisdom from a life well lived."

Summary: Beryl Renwick, one of the stars of an award-winning BBC Radio Humberside show, has died at the age of 89.

Article: About 10 hotels, pubs and club houses were also closed, officials said.
Some estimates put Lagos' population at around 20 million, creating a constant background of noise - from the blaring of car horns, to the Muslim call to prayer and loud singing in churches.
The state government has vowed to make the city, the biggest in Africa, noise-free by 2020.
Africa Live: More on this and other news stories
In August, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LEPA) closed 22 premises after residents complained about noise emanating from them.
Following the latest crackdown, its general manager Bola Shabi said the agency would no longer allow people to pray in makeshift buildings and tents.
Mr Shabi said noise levels had been reduced by about 35%, but this was not a "pass mark yet".
"Enforcement is a continuous exercise and we have set a target for ourselves. We want to ensure that Lagos is noise-free by the year 2020," he said.
Mr Shabi said mosques complied with their instructions more than churches because when they are ordered to shut down, they "instantly bring down their speakers or reduce the noise they make''.
Nigerians are extremely religious, with a large number of evangelical churches operating in Lagos.
Christians form the majority in the city.
In 2014, 116 people died when a building owned by popular televangelist TB Joshua collapsed in Lagos.

Labour has been "ploughing on as if they have a divine right to rule" in Wales, the Welsh Conservative leader has said.

Article: The bank said its next notes would be printed on polymer, replacing the cotton paper used for notes currently in issue.
The notes will be slightly smaller and will reuse the existing Bank of Scotland designs.
A one-off limited edition £5 note will be issued in November and auctioned to raise money for BBC Children in Need.
The circulation will be limited to just 50. They will feature designs from the winners of a children's competition which has just been launched.
The main replacement polymer banknotes will continue to feature Sir Walter Scott and The Mound on the front and the bridges theme on the back.
The images will be "adapted and modernised" so they are suitable for polymer.
The design of the polymer £5 note will be unveiled before the end of this year, with the notes due to be issued in the second half of 2016.
It will be followed about a year later by the polymer £10 note.
The announcement follows discussions with the Bank of England, which is due to bring plastic banknotes into circulation next year.
The Bank of Scotland is one of three in Scotland authorised to issue banknotes.
Managing director Robin Bulloch said: "Bank of Scotland has been issuing banknotes for over 300 years and we take seriously our responsibility to create good quality genuine banknotes that can be used with confidence.
"Polymer notes are cleaner, more secure, and more durable than paper notes.
"They will provide enhanced counterfeit resilience, and increase the quality of Bank of Scotland notes in circulation."
In March, the Clydesdale Bank announced it was issuing two million polymer £5 notes.
The new note features an image of the Forth Bridge and has been issued to commemorate the bridge's 125th anniversary.
The note also features a portrait of Sir William Arrol, whose company constructed the bridge among many other landmarks in Scotland.

Summary: The Bank of Scotland has announced plans to introduce plastic £5 and £10 banknotes.

Article: Speaking to Huw Edwards on The Wales Report, Andrew RT Davies defended his party from criticism that it simply opposes Labour policies rather than putting forward its own programme for government.
"At every juncture we bring forward an alternative, we don't just criticise," he said.
"There is a clear agenda for what the Welsh Conservatives stand for, and it's action.
"It's action to improve the economy, it's action to improve public services in Wales and it's action to strengthen communities the length and breadth of Wales."
Asked about his priority if the Tories won power after the assembly election in May, Mr Davies said: "The first spending commitment is protecting the NHS budget for the lifetime of this parliament, or the assembly's term, the five years.
"I would suggest that the outcomes in Wales regrettably aren't as good as we want them to be.
"And we want to make sure those outcomes are improved.
"That's why we've called for an independent Keogh-style enquiry into the NHS here in Wales so we can make those improvements, not on political whims, but led by clinicians themselves telling us what we need to be doing to improve the health service here in Wales."
Prof Sir Bruce Keogh investigated 14 NHS trusts in England for a review into higher-than-expected hospital death rates, published in 2013.
Speaking about the Wales Bill on further devolution, the Welsh Conservative leader praised Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb's handling of the legislation, put on hold on Monday after MPs called for a re-think.
It followed claims that the draft bill was confusing, and would leave Welsh ministers with fewer powers rather than more.
Mr Davies said: "The secretary of state deserves huge credit; for instead of ploughing on with this bill, actually saying 'I've listened to what people have said to me'.
"Actually, the Welsh Labour government could learn a lot from this legislative process."
First Minister Carwyn Jones had called Monday's announcement on the Wales Bill an "avoidable delay to clear up an avoidable mess".

Scotland's media landscape is being bulldozed - transformed by digital technology, burgeoning choice, and quite a bit of politics - particularly as the future of the BBC is now in play.

Article: Scientists at the University of Lincoln tested 36 animals, offering them bowls containing chocolate or less appealing coffee beans in two fixed locations.
Pigs were considered optimists if they investigated a third bowl, placed in the middle of the two bowls, even though it might not contain treats.
Dr Lisa Collins said it suggested the judgment of pigs was similar to humans.
The research, which has been published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, saw some pigs treated to improved living conditions with more living space and extra-deep layers of straw.
The other animals, with less space and no straw, tended to be negative and pessimistic, the research suggested.
They were, however, found to have been cheered up by an improvement in their living conditions.
Dr Collins, from the University of Lincoln, and colleagues wrote: "Reactive pigs in the less enriched environment were more pessimistic and those in the more enriched environment more optimistic.
"These results suggest that judgment in non-human animals is similar to humans, incorporating aspects of stable personality traits and more transient mood states."

Summary: Pigs have personalities and can be pessimists or optimists, much like humans, new research has suggested.

Article: The politics is also apparent in the newspaper sales figures for the first half of the year. Out this week, they show the average decline at more than 10% since the first half of last year, continuing the industry's painful downward trajectory.
Scotland on Sunday saw print sales fall more than 20%. It now has an average weekly sale of less than 25,000. It doesn't have its own staff any more, relying on a journalism pool shared with its stablemate, The Scotsman.
"SoS" is now being beaten by the only weekly "regional" paper to register a rise in print sales, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Sunday Herald looked to be on its last legs, but found a niche by backing the independence cause.
Approving "Yes" campaigners backed it, with a big lift in the back half of last year, from which it's fallen back, but still retained an average 29,000 weekly sales.
Its publisher, Newsquest, also saw a gap in the daily market for pro-independence readers. Although the figures aren't audited, we're told they're selling nearly 17,000 a day.
These are small numbers when set alongside the total sale of newspapers. The constitutional debate may have polarised opinion and changed some buying behaviour, but it can be overstated. The decline of sales in Scotland has recently been steeper than those for the rest of the UK, but the trends are similar.
Meanwhile, publishers point out there's a rise in online readership. But that's not making them enough money to sustain their cost bases. In the case of the Scotsman's figures, daily online readers are down 33% since a busy referendum period.
Those news publishers are competing with broadcasters for online readers. We've just got half year figures for STV which show  it aiming to achieve its turnaround by the end of next year.

Summary:


A skin cancer appeal backed by a BBC presenter has reached its £45,000 target after just six weeks.

Article: Paul Mansfield, 28, of no fixed address, denied the charges but was found guilty at Preston Crown Court and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Police said he befriended the "clearly intoxicated and vulnerable" victims, promising to help them.
The two attacks took place in 2014, the second while he was on bail for rape.
Police said Mansfield befriended a 20-year-old homeless woman and promised to give her somewhere safe to stay in the early hours of 17 June.
He took her to a flat on Charnley Road in the resort but when the victim tried to go to sleep, Mansfield raped her, biting her neck and striking her face during the attack.
She managed to escape and ran to Blackpool police station to report the attack.
Mansfield struck a second time on 9 September when he befriended a woman, 21, from Glasgow on a night out in the resort, said police.
She had become separated from her boyfriend after an argument, said police, and Mansfield offered to take her back to her hotel in a taxi.
Police said they ended up on Loftus Avenue where he dragged her down an alley and attempted to rape her.
She managed to push him off and run away, said police.
Lancashire Constabulary's Det Con Lisa Wainwright said Mansfield was a "dangerous sexual predator" who targeted his victims when they were intoxicated.
She said it was disturbing that he used the guise of befriending them when he had "clear intentions of assaulting them to satisfy his own sexual urges".
Mansfield was also found guilty of two sexual assaults and supplying Class A drugs, for which he was sentenced to two years to run concurrently.

Summary: A "dangerous sexual predator" who raped a woman and attempted to rape another in  separate attacks in Blackpool has been jailed.

Article: The Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal was launched in February to raise awareness of skin cancer and educate children in schools about sun safety.
The target was reached on Monday after the Freemasons in Derby donated £10,000 with a new target set at £75,000.
Radio Derby presenter Colin Bloomfield - who has stage four melanoma - said the donations were "hugely generous".
BBC Radio Derby is working with the Derby Telegraph and charity Skcin, which specialises in skin cancer prevention.
The station launched the appeal after Colin's diagnosis in 2013, and his openness and optimism on the disease touched thousands of listeners.
The 33-year-old had a malignant melanoma removed from his leg 10 years ago but in 2013 he was told the cancer had returned and in November he was given months to live when it spread to his brain.
"Every single pound has made such a big difference," he said,
"As a child I never understood the seriousness of getting burnt but I'm living through it now.
"[Melanoma] is a truly horrible disease that a lot of people don't understand the seriousness of.
"We are not used to seeing the sun in this country and when we go out and enjoy it, it is about doing it safely and responsibly.
"If we can hammer home that message to kids in schools that can only be a good thing."
Earlier this month Derby County Football Club raised more than £14,000 after donating £10 for every away ticket sold at Norwich.
The appeal aims to take the sun safe scheme to 200 schools in Derbyshire and East Staffordshire.

A Russian court has jailed three women for performing a twerking dance in front of a World War Two memorial.

Article: Amir Ali Qureshi, from the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, predicts adverts featuring a dog on a trampoline will boost sales.
But he also expects a spike in people with broken bones turning up at A&E this Christmas.
He said injuries were common, even with trampolines that come with safety netting.
"Just last week I had a 27-year-old female referred to me with a life-changing injury to her left knee as a result of a trampoline accident," Mr Qureshi said.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) says more than 13,000 trampolining injuries are treated each year.
Broken arms, legs, knee dislocations and neck injuries can all result from having an accident on a trampoline.
Mr Qureshi added: "Some of these injuries are simply unpleasant, but others can be extremely serious.
"The issue at the moment, particularly where young people are involved, is that the use of nets gives children and their parents a false sense of security that they will be fine whatever the level and intensity of activity on a trampoline.
"In my opinion, as an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, the equipment is dangerous and should only be used in appropriate circumstances, which I believe can only be achieved under professional supervision."
Dave Walker, the leisure safety manager at RoSPA, said: "When using a trampoline at home parents must be aware that, just like any high-energy leisure activity, there is a risk, and they should take precautions to prevent potentially serious and life-changing injuries.
"Having netting around the trampoline is a good preventative measure, as is only allowing one child on at a time, and supervision to ensure the activity being carried out on the trampoline is appropriate.
"Many serious injuries occur when a larger person is on with a child, so parents should avoid getting on at the same time as their children."

Summary: Trampolines should be used only under professional supervision, according to a senior bone surgeon.

Article: The court in Novorossiysk gave two of the dancers 10 days in jail each, a third 15 days and two others received fines on charges of petty hooliganism.
Prosecutors had said their "erotic and sexual twerk dance" was disrespectful to historic memory and unacceptable.
Earlier this month, Russian officials closed a dance school after a similar dance video emerged on the internet.
The latest incident involves six dancers - one of them a minor who was not convicted - who had posted a video on YouTube.
"This incident of disrespect for the memory of war history is unacceptable  and any attempts to desecrate sites of military glory will be stopped  immediately," prosecutors said.
The sentences come as Russia prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of  the World War Two victory.
They also follow the incident early in April when a video clip from the Orenburg dance school on YouTube was viewed millions of times.
The video clip, entitled Winnie the Pooh and the Bees, showed a group of teenage girls dancing on stage in striped leotards, long socks and mini-skirts,
They perform hip-thrusting moves characteristic of twerking.
A committee is investigating whether the performance amounts to negligence or even "debauched action", which is punishable by a range of sanctions from community service to three years behind bars.

Former world number one Victoria Azarenka will miss the US Open because of an "ongoing family situation".

Article: The advisory group set up by the Scottish government in 2015 issued a report examining some of the "many changes" which need to be made.
The report said tackling hate crime should be "a priority concern for the whole of society".
The Scottish government said it contained "important messages that we should all reflect on".
A review of available evidence on hate crime for the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research has warned that "there is a problem of hate crime in contemporary Scotland", adding that all stakeholders spoken to reported higher levels of hate crime than is recorded in official figures.
There have been concerns about an increase in hate crimes across the UK in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, although some reports have shown a reduction in such offences in Scotland.
However, the number of hate crime offences relating to football in Scotland have risen 49% in the past year.
The Advisory Group on Hate Crime, Prejudice and Community Cohesion was established in 2015 to provide advice and analysis on the issue.
Their report notes that racist offences are the most prominent hate crime category, but have been falling slightly while reports of offences based on sexual orientation had increased 20% in the past year.
It said the Scottish government's approach was "widely appreciated", but said that while the criminal justice system was seen to take the matter seriously, the system "continues to feel disjointed from the perspective of many victims".
The group also heard "disturbing" evidence about the "rapidly growing" phenomenon of online abuse, and warned that too often offenders are not challenged.
They recommended a multi-agency approach, with groups from across government and society treating hate crime as a high priority.
Specific recommendations include:
Chairman Dr Duncan Morrow said it was clear that "hatred and prejudice continue to have very serious consequences for people and communities across society".
He said: "Prejudice and hate have a huge impact on the quality of life of...

Misa Eguchi, of Japan, moves into the main draw for the tournament, which starts on 28 August.
"I am sadly unable to compete in this year's US Open due to my ongoing family situation that I am working through," Azarenka said on Monday.
"While I will dearly miss being in New York and playing in one of my favourite tournaments where I have enjoyed some of the best moments in my career, I am already looking forward to being back next year."
Earlier this month Azarenka pulled out of the Cincinnati Open because of "a family matter".

Article: Pte Matthew Boyd, 20, was off-duty on a night out in Brecon when he was punched and beaten by Jake Vallely.
But the jury cleared Vallely's friend Aaeron Evans of manslaughter after Cardiff Crown Court was told he was not present during the attack.
Vallely, 24, will be sentenced on 8 December.
The unconscious body of Pte Boyd, who served with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, was found by police in the town in the early hours of 8 May.
Pte Boyd, who is originally from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, had been in the town for training exercises at the infantry battle school.
During the trial, the court heard Pte Boyd was making his way back to the barracks when he was attacked outside a bar called The Cellar.
CCTV footage showed the soldier being punched, going to the ground and being beaten until he no longer moved.
Vallely then dragged his body from the scene before fleeing.
The trial was told the killer had been on a seven hour drinking binge and in the hour before the attack was boasting he was the "hardest man in Brecon".
His friend Mr Evans was cleared of any involvement in the attack, after the jury was told he had left the scene before the start of any violence.
Senior investigating officer Det Supt David Guiney, from Dyfed-Powys Police, called the attack "a despicable act" that "shocked" the community of Brecon.
"I plead with anyone who plans a night out drinking with their friends to please, walk away from any conflict, do not resort to violence," he said.
A family tribute described Pte Boyd as an "all-rounder" who had "a promising career ahead of him which has been cut short".
The tribute read: "Matthew was full of life. He was loving, caring and loyal. He was always playing jokes on his peers and family, and always brought smiles to our faces."
It said Vallely had created "a void in our family that will never be filled", adding the "unbearable pain" was something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.
"During this trial, it has been mentioned that Jake Vallely called himself the 'hardest...

Summary:


Police have praised the "good family atmosphere" among the thousands of people who turned out to watch Guid Nychburris events in Dumfries.

Article: The team, from the University of Bristol, found that raindrops kick off very fast vibrations in the lid of the plant's jug-shaped leaves.
This propels ants from the lid into the pitcher trap below, where they drown and are consumed by digestive juices.
The findings, published in the journal PNAS, are based on high-speed cameras and laser vibration measurements.
Using these instruments, Dr Ulrike Bauer and her colleagues recorded extremely fast movement in the lid of the pitcher leaf, after it was hit by a raindrop.
It wobbles like a stiff spring, she said.
"You have a raindrop hitting the surface and that causes it to move down, fast. Then because of this spring property, it moves to a certain point and springs back.
"You get an oscillation, very similar to when you put a ruler on the edge of your desk and flick the end down with your finger."
This movement is unique in the plant kingdom, Dr Bauer said - partly because of its speed, which easily outstrips the insect-trapping manoeuvres of other carnivorous plants, and partly because of the way it exploits an external energy source.
"Having a fast movement in a plant is unusual in itself," she explained, "but having a fast movement that doesn't require the plant to invest any energy - it just requires it to build the structure - that's something quite surprising."
The findings place the species in the study, Nepenthes gracilis, into its own carnivorous category; it belongs neither with "active" carnivorous plants, like flytraps, nor motionless "passive" insect eaters - like most other pitcher plants.
Key to the pitcher's rain-powered trap is the stiffness of its lid. When the team studied another species, which catches ants using only the slippery rim of its pitcher, they found it had a more bendy lid.
This meant that vibrations from a falling raindrop were concentrated right at the tip - much like the motion of a springboard used in competitive diving, Dr Bauer explained.
"It concentrates the acceleration at the very tip. If you try to jump off the middle of...

Summary: A carnivorous pitcher plant uses power from falling raindrops to fling ants to their doom, biologists have discovered.

Article: In previous years crime figures have seen a significant rise during the annual celebration.
Good weather on Saturday meant a larger number of spectators than usual turned out to the event.
However, Insp Stuart Wilson said that other than a "few minor incidents" it had passed peacefully.
He said: "The annual Guid Nychburris celebrations started early with police cyclists escorting about 200 horses through the traffic in Dumfries.
"The good weather meant that there were a large number of spectators out to watch the horses, the crowning ceremony and the parade in the centre of Dumfries but it was a good family atmosphere and there were no policing issues.
"Local police were assisted by police horses and Operational Support Division from Glasgow to make sure the crowds were safe."

Pope Francis has recognised a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa, clearing the way for the Roman Catholic nun to be made a saint next year.

Article: Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill said the deadlock was a "consequence" of the Democratic Unionist Party's (DUP) support for the Tory government.
The failure to reach a power-sharing deal was a "monumental failure" by Theresa May, she said.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said her party will "keep working over the summer".
Northern Ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since January, when the coalition led by the two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, collapsed over a green energy scandal.
In a statement, Mr Brokenshire said the issues dividing the parties "cannot be resolved quickly enough to enable an executive to be formed" soon.
He added that the government would "not forget our responsibilities to uphold political stability and good governance".
"I will reflect carefully in the coming days on any further steps which may be required to support the continued effective provision of public services in Northern Ireland."
The secretary of state has dropped a hint that he is now considering passing a budget from Westminster.
Northern Ireland's civil servants have been controlling finances for several months.
But, to date, they have only had 75% of the block grant allocation.
A budget bill would change that - giving access to all £10bn of annual day-to-day spending.
It would also split the cash among individual departments like health and education.
However, it still leaves the question of who decides what polices or projects to spend it on.
These can be political decisions for ministers - not civil servants.
BBC NI's Political Editor Mark Devenport said a source had told him it was unlikely Mr Brokenshire would legislate for a budget before the Autumn.
The Irish Foreign Affairs Minister, Simon Coveney, urged the parties to "reflect on how progress can best be made".
Mrs Foster said the DUP wanted to see devolution restored at Stormont and would not abandon the talks process.
"I know people think politicians don't work over the summer, but actually we will keep working over the summer months to try...

Summary: The Northern Ireland Secretary, James Brokenshire, has said he will "reflect" on his next move after talks failed to restore a power-sharing executive.

Article: The miracle involved the healing of a Brazilian man with several brain tumours in 2008, the Vatican said.
Mother Teresa died in 1997 and was beatified - the first step towards sainthood - in 2003.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor in the slums of Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta).
"The Holy Father has authorised the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to proclaim the decree concerning the miracle attributed to the intercession of blessed Mother Teresa," the Vatican said on Friday.
She is expected to be canonised in Rome in September.
Beatification by the Catholic Church requires one miracle, while the process of becoming recognised as a saint requires proof of at least two miracles.
Mother Teresa was beatified in 2003 after Pope John Paul II accepted as authentic a miracle attributed to her.
He judged that the curing of an Indian woman suffering from an abdominal tumour was the result of the supernatural intervention of the late Mother Teresa - a claim challenged by Indian rationalists.
There are few details about the recovery of the Brazilian man, whose life the Vatican says was saved in the second miracle.
His identity has not been disclosed to maintain the discretion needed for the investigation, the Catholic New Agency has said.
It says he was unexpectedly cured from brain tumours in 2008 after his priest prayed for Mother Teresa's intervention with God.
Born Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia, in 1910, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1949, dedicating her life to caring for impoverished and sick people in Kolkata.
Known as the "saint of the gutter", she earned worldwide acclaim for her efforts.
Her critics, however, accused her of mixing with dictators and peddling a hardline Catholicism.

Article: Children use their computers for more than an hour a day, researchers say.
The study showed YouTube was the most popular destination.
Jackie Marsh of the University of Sheffield said parents needed to check the appropriateness of what their infant children were using online.
The study revealed the widespread use of tablet computers among toddlers, averaging an hour and 19 minutes on weekdays and slightly longer at weekends.
Most were able to use touchscreens to control the computer and were using them to play games, watch television, films and online videos.
The Economic and Social Research Council-funded project examined computer use in 2,000 families with one or more tablet computers - and found that 31% of under-fives had their own device.
"It may seem surprising that in homes with a tablet, nearly a third of under-fives have their own device," said Lydia Plowman of the University of Edinburgh.
"But when parents upgrade their tablet, many pass on their older model to their children. Budget models are also popular gifts."
The study also involved the collaboration of the BBC's CBeebies service for young children - and CBeebies was found to be one of the most popular apps for this age group.
Other popular online services and games were Disney, Angry Birds, Minecraft and Candy Crush.
Prof Marsh, from the University of Sheffield's school of education, said that parents needed to watch out for games or apps that are not "age-appropriate" or which do not offer much value for such pre-school children.
She also warned about the adverts and pop-up links that can come with apps and websites.
"The study showed that the use of apps on tablets by pre-schoolers can be very productive and foster a wide range of play and creativity. However, apps need to be chosen carefully by parents for this age group."
A previous Ofcom study, published earlier this year, had shown that tablet computers were particularly popular with families with children - and among the 5 to 15-year-old age group, 71% of children had access to a tablet...

Summary: In families which own tablet computers, almost a third of children aged under five have their own device, according to a study by the universities of Sheffield and Edinburgh.

Article: It is thought to be the second test of the North's new Musudan missile. An attempt earlier this month also failed.
The tests come amid a recent ramp-up in weapons activity as the country prepares for a rare party congress.
Reports suggest it is planning a fifth nuclear test, despite condemnation of its last test in January.
South Korean officials said the mid-range missile launch took place early Thursday morning near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan but the missile "crashed a few seconds later" in the coastal area, reported Yonhap news agency.
The incident was captured by a US surveillance satellite.
The Musudan missiles are said to be able to travel up to 4,000km (2,485 miles), within the range of US territories in the Pacific.
No confirmation of the attempt or the failure has come from North Korea, but sources in South Korea say that the movement of two so-called Musudan missiles, mounted on trucks, was detected earlier in the month.
One was launched two weeks ago and tracked but failed to go far. The same has now happened to the second, according to South Korea.
Kim Jong-un is building up to a big event in just over a week, a rare meeting of the ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang.
He has trumpeted a series of announcements about progress towards having a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking Washington. Failed launches indicate that the reality may not match the rhetoric.
All the same, they indicate determination. A fifth nuclear test coinciding with the congress would not be a surprise.
On Saturday, North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong-su suggested that it would suspend nuclear tests if the US ended its annual military exercises with the South.
But US President Barack Obama dismissed the proposal, saying it was not serious and that North Korea would "have to do better than that".
Strengthened international sanctions were placed on North Korea after it tested what it claimed was a hydrogen bomb and launched a long-range missile.
Over the weekend it also claimed it fired a submarine ballistic...

Summary:


Pupils at about 400 Kenyan schools are trying to break the world record for having the most people reading aloud simultaneously from the same book.

Article: It would be paid without any requirement to work and regardless of income from other sources.
Mark Drakeford said the idea was "attractive" but said politicians would have a "job" to convince the public.
He promised to monitor experiments in Glasgow and Fife but said there were doubts over whether Welsh ministers had the power to introduce such a system.
Mr Drakeford was responding to a question in the Senedd from Plaid Cymru finance spokesman Adam Price.
The Green Party and the trade union Unite have endorsed versions of the basic income.
In 2016, the RSA think tank proposed a basic income of £3,692 for people aged between 25 and 65, using data for taxes and benefits from 2012-13.
Mr Drakeford told AMs on Wednesday that no local council had contacted Welsh ministers seeking backing for a basic income pilot.
"Nevertheless I intend to monitor the progress of the feasibility work currently being carried out in Fife and Glasgow," he said.
"And while there are clear competence questions to be addressed here, UBI [Universal Basic Income] has the potential to make a significant contribution to addressing poverty and inequality.
"Were we to move ahead on it we would face headlines of the sort the Sun newspaper used when reporting the Glasgow experiment, saying it was 'doling out pay for no work even for people who have a job'.
"So the idea, while attractive in the way that it can simplify and support people who currently have to rely on a very complex set of part-time work, part-time benefits and so on, the political world will face a job of convincing the public."
A Welsh Conservatives spokesman said: "This well-intentioned but expensive idea, raises serious questions - not least because most estimates suggest that the basic rate of income tax would need to more than double to pay for it.
"This could also have the unforeseen consequence of stifling incentive to take extra work, with devastating consequences for the economy."

Summary: A "basic income" paid to everyone could help tackle poverty and inequality, according to the finance secretary.

Article: They read from Attack of the Shidas about children from different Kenyan communities working together to protect their well from an alien invasion.
The event is meant to foster a culture of reading in the country, the organisers told the BBC.
The US currently holds the Guinness World Record set by 233,000 people.
It will take at least a week to work out whether they have been successful as they need to tally the number of pupils from across the country who participated.
Kenyan children's book author Muthoni Muchemi led the event with 1,700 students reading from her book at Hospital Hill Primary School in the capital, Nairobi.
Afterwards, she said she wanted to break the stereotype that Africans do not care for books.
"Growing up I would always hear that if you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book - and it was really upsetting to me," she told the BBC.
"I want to help change that perception and the first step is to re-introduce reading not just as important but enjoyable," she said.
"I have seen over the years that a lot of families don't have libraries in their homes but have they have big TVs. We need to get parents to understand that reading for pleasure with their children is an important part of brain development."
The 13- and 14-year-olds, dressed in grey and white uniforms, who chorused the words at Hospital Hill Primary School said they enjoyed the challenge.
"I enjoy reading because it teaches me about other people and places. It teaches me about the world," one girl said.
Another student said he thought Attack of the Shidas had important life lessons about working together and accepting people's differences.
It is not the first time Kenya has tried to break the record - last year 142,279 children read aloud in 360 schools.
This time, Ms Muchemi is more optimistic about the Storymoja National Read Aloud attempt.
But she says in the end it is about building confidence in children.
"If you master reading it means you've increased your vocabulary, you have good command of sentence...

The controversy over the use of the terms 'Derry' and 'Londonderry' surfaces in state papers that have just been released.

Article: The biggest single factor is the use of fertiliser to grow wheat, which accounts for 43% of greenhouse gas emissions, say experts.
Emissions arise from energy needed to make ammonium nitrate fertiliser and from nitrous oxide released when it is broken down in the soil.
Around 12 million loaves are sold each day in the UK.
Consumers need to be more aware of the environmental costs of their food, say researchers at the University of Sheffield.
There are growing concerns about pollution from plastic packaging around food, as well as wider environmental issues.
Lead researcher Dr Liam Goucher said that in every loaf there is embodied global warming resulting from the fertiliser farmers use to increase their wheat harvest.
"That one key raw material accounts for - in terms of global warming potential - 43% of a loaf of bread," he told BBC News.
"People are well aware of where bread comes from but there's a lack of understanding about perhaps the environmental impact of that bread or the emissions contained by that bread," he added.
The researchers carried out the study to highlight concerns that ammonium nitrate fertiliser is being used "at unsustainable rates".
Up to 60% of crops are grown with the use of fertilisers, made up of chemicals such as methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia and nitrogen.
While synthetic fertilisers can boost the growth of plants - and raise yields - they can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Prof Peter Horton, a co-researcher on the study, added: "With over 100 million tonnes of fertiliser used globally each year to support agricultural production this is a massive problem, but environmental impact is not costed within the system and so there are currently no real incentives to reduce our reliance on fertiliser."
The research, published in the journal Nature Plants, analysed the complete process behind producing a loaf of bread:
The data found that growing wheat for bread had the biggest influence on producing greenhouse gases, mainly through the use of fertiliser.
This was...

Summary: The environmental impact of producing a loaf of bread has been analysed in depth from the farm to the shop shelf.

Article: The British Government permitted changing the name of the local authority to Derry City Council in 1985.
The council's town clerk was instructed to write to NI Secretary Douglas Hurd.
He asked that staff in government departments be allowed to use 'Derry' or 'Londonderry' in official letters.
In response, Londonderry Unionist Association said it reinforced the claim for a separate district council for the East Bank of the Foyle.
Pat Carvill, a Stormont official, said its real effect was to force council staff and the public to indicate where they stood on the name-change issue.
His advice was that government bodies should employ the current terminology, using Derry City Council, but Londonderry as the postal address.
The controversy over the city's name re-surfaced the following year.
DUP MLA Gregory Campbell protested to David Fell, the Permanent Secretary at the Department of Economic Development in Stormont, about the use of the word 'Derry' in a job advertisement for the local Shantallow Area Workshop.
Writing from the Stormont Assembly on 22 April 1986, Mr Campbell told the official: "As you are probably aware, the way in which advertisements are worded can very often affect the type of people who apply.
"An ad placed in Londonderry with the term 'Derry' is virtually certain to preclude many Protestants from applying."
In this case, it suggested that the business in question was exclusively Catholic.
The MLA said: "Whether or not this is the case I feel a workshop sponsored by the DED ought not to have an incorrect or politically-motivated version of the city's name in the advertisement."
He asked if action could be taken by the department or if he should refer the case to the Fair Employment Agency for investigation.
In a minute on the file, Trevor Pearson of the Stormont Central Secretariat said on 30 April 1986: "The issue of the use of Derry or Londonderry drags on interminably.
"The government position is simply that the correct address is Londonderry and that Derry is used only when referring to...
