The Conwy Valley rail route in north Wales could remain closed for several days after heavy rain caused flooding.

Article: Who are these men in bowler hats and orange sashes?
Most Orange Order parades pass off peacefully but the rest of the world has often only seen images of those that don't.
So who is marching and why, and why do some people sometimes object to parades?
The Orange Order is a 'fraternal' organisation, named for William of Orange, the Protestant Dutchman who seized the thrones of Catholic King James II back in the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688.
Two years later, 'King Billy' saw off James for good at the Battle of the Boyne, near Dublin. He is revered by the Orange Order as a champion of his faith and the man who secured the Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.
The 'marching season' is a period of events from April to August, with the highpoint on 12 July when Orangemen march to commemorate William's victory.
For many Catholics, these marches are triumphalist and sectarian - a means of very publicly 'rubbing in' a historical wrong - with some traditional Orange routes passing through or by staunchly Catholic and nationalist areas.
Some of those marches have been re-routed but some remain contentious. At Garvaghy Road in Portadown, County Armagh, Orangemen make an annual protest at not being permitted to parade along the route they want to take.
Efforts are made to reduce problems around contentious parades with re-routing and highly visible policing.
The Orange Order itself has also attempted to move with the times, rebranding the 12 July celebrations 'Orangefest' in a public relations charm offensive that presents the day as a fun and inclusive dash of local colour. There was even, briefly, a superhero mascot called Diamond Dan.
It's a canny decision, with membership of fraternal societies generally in sharp decline. The Orange Order's secrecy, ceremonies and archaic titles - all distantly derived from Freemasonry - smack of a bygone age. While staunchly loyal to its traditions, the Orange Order also understands it must reach out to a new generation.
"It's full of tradition and history, but you have to make that fit...

Summary: If you're not from Northern Ireland, you may be wondering what on earth the 'marching season' is all about.

Article: Green Hedge Renewables has drawn up initial plans for the development of Baldoon Airfield near Wigtown.
They claim it could generate up to 20MW of renewable energy annually.
The developer outlined its proposal for the 53.8 hectare (133 acres) site in a "pre-application" submission to Dumfries and Galloway Council.
Rows of solar panels would be built on former runways and on farmland south-east of the airfield, under the plans.
Fixed at a 20 degree angle, the front of the panel would be 80cm (31 inches) from the ground, the back would be two metres (6.5 feet) high.
The farm would be surrounded by a two metre high boundary fence, with infra-red motion sensor CCTV cameras "to deter trespassing or any criminal activity".
The site borders the Crook of Baldoon RSPB reserve and it is close to two sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) - Wigtown Bay and the Cree Estuary.
The developers have mooted plans to re-seed the ground beneath the solar panels built on farmland.
It would allow sheep to continue to graze the land, therefore managing the growth of vegetation.
In a report to Dumfries and Galloway Council, project planner Adam Banting, of Green Hedge Renewables, stressed that the plans are at a very early stage.
He said: "Any proposal that is considered viable on this site will be subject to full consultation and liaison with the local community and other stakeholders who may have an interest in this proposal."
The energy it generates would be fed into the National Grid.
After 25 years, the development would be decommissioned, all equipment removed and the site reinstated to its current state, the developer said.

Summary: A large solar farm could be built on a disused airfield in Dumfries and Galloway.

Article: The new note will debut in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the US Constitution's 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The treasury will seek the public's input in the selection, looking for a "champion for our inclusive democracy".
Former US political leaders - all white men - currently headline US notes.
The woman who the Treasury Department ultimately selects will replace Alexander Hamilton, a key figure in the American Revolution and the first secretary of the US Treasury.
Hamilton began appearing on the $10 note in 1929. He along with diplomat and inventor Ben Franklin are the only non-presidents featured on current US notes.
Women have been featured on US money before, but the notes and coins were not widely used. Most recently women's rights activist Susan B Anthony and Native American Sacagawea appeared on dollar coins, but both coins quickly went out circulation.
The primary goal of the redesign is to add measures to thwart counterfeiters, the Treasury Department said. But women's groups have recently pressed for more representation on US notes.
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," said Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
In March, an independent group held a contest to select a woman to headline the $20 note, replacing former President Andrew Jackson.
Abolitionist Harriet Tubman was the public's top choice, beating out finalists, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights activist Rosa Parks and leader of the Cherokee nation Wilma Mankiller.
Tubman was known as the "conductor" of the Underground Railroad that allowed many slaves to escape to freedom in the 1850s.
Mr Lew will make a decision about the selected woman by the end of year.

Summary: The US Treasury Department says a redesigned $10 note will feature a woman, but who she will be has not been decided.

Article: The line from Llandudno Junction, Conwy, and Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, was shut after water reached platform level at North Llanrwst station.
In Ceredigion, a tree has been removed from the line between Aberystwyth and Birmingham International after a reported landslip at Llanbadarn.
Network Rail said it was "pulling out the stops" to keep services running.
On Anglesey, speed restrictions remain in place around Gaerwen due to flooding. Network Rail said the situation would be monitored as more heavy rain is forecast for Wednesday.
Wales route managing director, Paul McMahon said: "We're working really hard to keep services running, but unfortunately the Conwy Valley line will be closed for several days with flood waters having reached platform level at North Llanwrst.
"Elsewhere in Wales the impact on services has been relatively limited so far. However, we are monitoring the situation very closely, and with more bad weather predicted it's really important passengers check before they travel, via the National Rail Enquiries website or by calling 03457 48 49 50."
Four flood warnings are in place for north and south west Wales, along with dozens of alerts.

A convicted killer has been sent back to jail after he admitted carrying out a brutal attack on Christmas Day, months after being freed early.

Article: Russia was told to pay the money to former shareholders in the now defunct oil producer Yukos.
The Hague court said Russian officials had manipulated the legal system to bankrupt Yukos, and jail its boss.
The Russian finance ministry said the ruling was "flawed", "one-sided" and "politically biased".
The ministry added that the Permanent Court for Arbitration in The Hague "had no jurisdiction to consider the questions it was given".
The claim was filed by a subsidiary for the financial holding company GML, once the biggest shareholder in Yukos Oil Co.
GML Executive Director Tim Osborne said: "The majority shareholders of Yukos Oil were left without compensation for the loss of their investment when Russia illegally expropriated Yukos."
"It is a major step forward for the majority shareholders, who have been battling for over 10 years for this decision."
In an interview with the BBC's World Business Report, Mr Osborne added that his next step would be to use local courts worldwide to pursue Russian state property which could be seized as recompense.
Commenting on the tribunal's findings, he told the BBC: "In their view Rosneft, for instance, is an instrumentality of the state and was the vehicle that the Russian state chose to bankrupt and expropriate Yukos."
Pursuing Rosneft for the funds is a "distinct possibility", he said.
However, in a statement, the Russian ministry said: "Because of substantial shortcomings in the rulings of the arbitration court, the Russian Federation will challenge the rulings of the arbitration court in Dutch courts and expects to obtain a fair result there".
GML's lawyer Emmanuel Gaillard said: "This is an historic award. It is now judicially established that the Russian Federation's actions were not a legitimate exercise in tax collection but, rather, were aimed at destroying Yukos and illegally expropriating its assets for the benefit of State instrumentalities Rosneft and Gazprom."
Dr Florian Otto from risk advisory company Maplecroft said that Russia will be hoping to win time...

Summary: Russia will appeal against a international court ruling that it should  pay $50bn (£29.5bn) in damages, the biggest compensation package ever.

Article: The Aslef union has announced a three-day strike next week in a dispute over driver-only operated trains.
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), which has claimed all Southern services could be halted, argues the strike would breach customers' rights.
Meanwhile, the latest strike by RMT conductors has entered its third day.
Southern has said the High Court hearing, which started on Wednesday, is expected to reach a judgement at 14:30 GMT.
Aslef members have also launched an indefinite ban on overtime which, coupled with the RMT action over changes to the role of conductors, has led to about half of Southern's services being cancelled during the current three-day strike.
The long-running RMT dispute, which has seen several strikes throughout 2016, is set to continue in the run-up to Christmas.

Article: Kezia Dugdale addressed the issue during a speech in Glasgow.
She said it would be "unfair" to exclude EU citizens from such a fundamental decision.
Earlier this week, No 10 said citizens from most EU countries living in the UK would not get a vote on whether or not to sever ties with Brussels.
The franchise for the referendum, which is expected by the end of 2017, will be based on that for a general election - meaning Irish, Maltese and Cypriots resident in the UK will get a vote, but other EU citizens will not.
Ms Dugdale claimed that last September's referendum on Scottish independence was enhanced by the participation of around 90,000 EU nationals registered to take part in the ballot.
"Put simply, I believe EU nationals who have chosen to live their life here, and make the UK their home, should have the right to vote in a referendum on the future of the country," she said.
The Lothians MSP - the Scottish party's deputy leader - set out her position in a keynote speech to the Scottish Fabians, in which she also argued that Scottish Labour has to be seen as a party with ideas for the future rather than stuck in the past.
She told the audience she would be campaigning to stay in Europe and keep the "strong ties" with the UK's neighbours.
She said that referendums should be conducted "as inclusively and democratically as possible" and argued that 16 and 17-year-olds should be able to vote in the EU referendum, as they did in the Scottish independence ballot.
She said: "We as a country benefit from the free movement of people across Europe, and we should not continue to enjoy this freedom while restricting political participation.
"Voting rights are a matter of democratic principle, and I strongly feel it is unfair to exclude EU nationals from a fundamental referendum.
"The referendum reinvigorated political participation in Scotland. A referendum on Europe can afford us the same opportunity."
Ms Dugdale is expected to face a challenge from Labour MSP Ken Macintosh in the bid to replace outgoing Scottish...

Article: Steven Souley, 26, and his accomplice Zico Malavin, 20, were remanded in custody after they admitted attacking Robert Eadie, 25, in Glasgow in 2014.
The victim required surgery to repair a wound to his groin and penis after being hit with an axe and knife.
Souley was previously jailed for seven years for killing a man in 2010.
Sentence on both accused was deferred at the High Court in Glasgow after they admitted assaulting Mr Eadie to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
The court heard that the attack happened at a Christmas party hosted by Mr Eadie's sister at her flat in the city's Summerston area.
Souley and Malavin, who were not invited, turned up at about midnight. Souley was armed with an axe and Malavin - who was wearing a red Christmas jumper - was clutching a knife.
Mr Eadie's sister, who knew the pair, demanded that they leave. Her brother was attacked after he tried to put them out of the flat.
Souley and Malavin both fled the scene and police and paramedics were called.
A knife and a Christmas sweater were later found at a property linked to Souley.
It was months later that the pair were charged.
The court heard that Mr Eadie needed an operation to repair a "deep wound" to his groin and to his penis. He also suffered injuries to his head and hand.
He was released from hospital days later, but will be permanently scarred.
Souley and Malavin, both from the city's Drumchapel area, will be sentenced next month.
Souley was jailed in 2011 after being convicted of the culpable homicide of 41-year-old Andrew Curran.
In May 2014 he was deemed safe enough to be freed early.
Zico Malavin's brothers were both found guilty of murder over the attack on Mr Curran.
Angus Malavin was jailed for 18 years and younger brother Zak for 17 years.
Mr Curran died from a sword wound to the neck.
The fatal park attack happened following a row over a bottle of Buckfast.
A fourth Malavin brother, Kris, was jailed for seven years in 2014 after he tried to run down and kill a key witness in the murder trial.

Four-time Olympic medallist Louis Smith may face "suspension or expulsion" by British Gymnastics over a video in which he apparently mocks Islam.

Article: The 50m (164ft) tall structures are set to disappear at Dunford Bridge in South Yorkshire as part of National Grid plans to remove ugly overhead lines.
The project has shortlisted 12 stretches of pylons in eight areas across the country.
A final decision on the Peak District plan will be made in March.
The pylons can be seen across a 12.8km (8m) stretch of the national park, starting near Penistone in South Yorkshire and ending at Tintwistle in Derbyshire.
Steve Knight-Gregson, from the National Grid, said: "We have looked at national parks in England and Wales where we have overhead lines and a panel of experts and landscape architects have helped narrow it down to this shortlist.
"In the Peak District, this section of line is one of those that's made it through for further work."
The scheme is funded by Ofgem, which will claw back the cost through an increase in customers' bills.
Plans to remove the pylons include replacing overhead lines with underground cables, screening lines from viewpoints and re-routing lines.
Anne Robinson, from Friends of the Peak District, said: "There [were] a lot of studies done before this was set up to make sure the customers were behind it.
"There's no doubt that customers are willing to pay and have a very small sum added to their electricity bills a year to make sure these landscapes are enhanced."
Pylons were introduced in the Peak District national park in the 1960s.
John Scott, from the Peak District National Park Authority, welcomed the news that they could be removed.
He said: "These measures would greatly improve the appearance of the valley, which runs through some of the wildest moorland landscape in the Peak District.
"The pylon towers and the overhead cables are some of the most intrusive modern elements in a valley. This is clearly a very welcome proposal which would be of great benefit to the special character of this part of the Peak District."
Other parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty shortlisted for the work include:

Article: If Greece went, would others be the next targets in the financial markets? Would they find themselves pushed relentlessly towards the eurozone's exit?
This time we are actually closer to Greece leaving, and yet there is very little sign of the dreaded contagion. In 2011 and the following year there was a lot of it about. Not so today.
Why? It's largely down to the European Central Bank (ECB).
But perhaps the first thing to spell out is what that earlier contagion looked like.
The key element was the impact on the market for government debt, the bond market.  Investors worried that some governments might struggle to maintain their debt payments.
They also worried that if any of those countries did end up leaving the euro, the debts would be repaid in a national currency that would in all likelihood lose value.
Inevitably investors buying the bonds concerned wanted compensation for the risk in the shape of a higher return or yield.
When the return on government bonds in the market rises, it generally means the government will have to pay higher borrowing costs when they next raise money in the markets.
There's a vicious cycle that can get going in these circumstances.
If a government's ability to pay its debts is looking suspect that tends to raise its borrowing costs, which in turn makes it harder to maintain the payments, making borrowing more expensive still.
That is what happened when the eurozone turmoil was at its worst.  A benchmark often used is the return or yield on government debt that is due for repayment in ten years' time. To take two countries at the eye of the earlier storm: for Italy that figure peaked at 7.2%, for Spain 7.5%.
Earlier this year those figures went below 2%. They are a little higher now but still at eminently sustainable levels.
The leading force behind that change is the European Central Bank.
In August 2012 it unveiled a programme with the characteristically snappy title of "Outright Monetary Transactions", or OMT - you might well respond with OMG!
What did it mean? The ECB was...

Summary: The last time Greece was on the brink, the word on lips around the eurozone was "contagion".

Article: But attempts to land may face a major hazard: jagged "blades" of ice up to 10m long.
A major US conference has heard the moon may have ideal conditions for icy spikes called "penitentes" to form.
Scientists would like to send a lander down to sample surface regions where water wells up through the icy crust.
These areas could allow a robotic probe to sample a proxy for ocean water that lies several kilometres deep.
Details of the penitentes theory were announced as scientists outlined another proposal to explore the jovian moon with robotic spacecraft.
On Earth, these features (so named because of their resemblance to the pointed caps worn by "penitents" in Easter processions around the Spanish-speaking world) form in high altitude regions such as the Andes.
Here, the air is both cold and dry, allowing ice to sublimate (turn from a solid into vapour without passing through a liquid phase).
Penitentes begin to form when irregularities in the surface of the snow are enhanced by the Sun's energy. These furrows then act as a trap for solar radiation, and, as they deepen, the tall peaks are left behind.
Dr Daniel Hobley, from the University of Colorado, who presented his research at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas on Tuesday, said the formation of penitentes also required the Sun to be overhead as much as possible.
Jupiter's moon
"Light coming in at a high angle will illuminate the sides of the blades, causing them to retreat away," he explained.
On Earth, this restricts them to between 30 degrees latitude from the equator.
"Europa is very strongly tidally locked to Jupiter and Jupiter is very strongly tidally locked to the plane of the Sun. So the Sun is always coming down straight from above on Europa," said Dr Hobley, so the moon fulfils this requirement nicely.
He added: "You need a strong thermal gradient between the spike at the top of the penitente and the pit at the bottom. So any mechanism that acts to suppress that, i.e. warm cloudy days - or hot air - will also kill them."

Summary: Jupiter's icy moon Europa is a prime target for future space missions as it harbours a buried ocean that could have the right conditions for life.

Article: The video, filmed by Smith and obtained by a newspaper, appears to show him laughing while retired gymnast Luke Carson mimics Islamic prayer practices.
Smith, who won pommel horse silver at Rio 2016, later said he was "deeply sorry" for his "thoughtless actions".
British Gymnastics said: "We will be investigating the behaviours reported."
In a statement, the governing body added: "Members who break our code of conduct can face suspension or expulsion from our organisation."
Smith, who has won medals at the past three Olympic Games, has already been censured twice this year by British Gymnastics.
In April, the 27-year-old apologised for questioning the judging at the British Championships, where he was beaten to pommel gold by Max Whitlock.
He was also reprimanded in June for posting an image on social media of an American gymnast, who was 16 when the photograph was taken, accompanied by a comment British Gymnastics said was "unbefitting to a participant".
That reprimand was to remain on his record for two years with the added warning "any further misconduct may lead to even greater consequences".
Smith is one of Britain's best-known gymnasts and won the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2012.
He is taking a break from the sport and is instead touring as a guest celebrity on the Keep Dancing stage production.

Article: Current guidelines were written in 1994 and should be updated to reflect legal changes and the effect of social media, the Universities UK taskforce said.
Key areas to be considered include better reporting systems and creating a "zero-tolerance culture", it said.
The National Union of Students (NUS) and the government welcomed the review.
Though not legally binding, universities often rely on the so-called Zellick guidelines when dealing with allegations of sexual violence or harassment between students. They have been criticised for causing universities to leave investigation of complaints to the police rather than investigating them themselves.
The guidelines' author, Prof Graham Zellick, has said they are still valid, but that they only cover discipline, and not other requirements such as a system of recording sexual assaults.
But BBC education editor Branwen Jeffreys said there had been increasing pressure for action from campaigners who accuse universities of being "more concerned with reputation than supporting students".
The Universities UK taskforce said "significant elements" the Zellick guidelines were still useful to universities.
But it said developments including the Equality Act 2010 and "changes in the wider social environment, including the significant impact of social media" meant guidelines should be reviewed and updated.
The taskforce will produce a final report on violence, harassment and hate crime later this year.
NUS women's officer Susuana Amoah said: "We hope this review will lead to the creation of a new set of guidelines centring around the welfare of survivors rather than institutional reputation."
Sarah Green, of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, welcomed the recognition that "it is time for universities to change the way they respond to allegations of rape and other abuse and harassment".
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills welcomed the "progress" the taskforce had made and said it looked forward to seeing the final report.

Summary: Universities should overhaul guidelines on dealing with allegations of sexual assaults and harassment, according to a taskforce set up by the government.

Article: Cases have included officers snooping on their children and ex-wives, social media blunders and breaching data protection regulations.
More than 100 staff were sacked and nearly 200 resigned as a result of breaches in England and Wales.
Avon and Somerset Police reported the highest number of incidents with 289.
In one case revealed by the force, a chief inspector received management action for being "negligent when disclosing personal information".
A PC was subject to a complaint, also with Avon and Somerset Police, when they disclosed the name of an individual "to the media after they had made it known that they wished to remain anonymous". The complaint was later withdrawn.

Police forces from across England and Wales recorded a total of 2,031 cases of data protection breaches between January 2009 and October 2013, figures obtained by the Press Association showed.
Investigations led to 186 resignations, while 113 were sacked. At least 34 of those investigated were inspectors or chief inspectors, while 474 were civilian officers.
Of 43 police forces contacted, 35 responded with information.
Javed Khan, chief executive of Victim Support, said: "It is very worrying to think that the personal data of victims of crime - who are often extremely vulnerable - might be being accessed and used inappropriately by people in a position of trust."
Avon and Somerset Police's corporate information spokesman, Ian Marsh, said: "We take an extremely robust approach to the recording and investigation of alleged Data Protection Act breaches.
"We recognise police integrity is of the upmost importance to the public and would like to reassure people that any potential breach is investigated fully."

Article: Property consultant Colliers International found 76 out of the UK's main towns and shopping centres will see an increase in their rates bill.
Some parts of London will see an increase of more than 400%, it says.
The winners, mainly in the Midlands and north of England, will see business rates plummet, it adds.
Newport in south Wales could see bills fall by some 80%, the report found.
"The business rates losers are found only in London and the South East and it could turn highly profitable stores, including independent retailers, into failing businesses," said John Webber, ratings expert at Colliers International.
Business rates are a tax based on property values. They are usually revalued every five years.
The last revaluation in England and Wales was in 2010 but this year's revaluation was controversially postponed to 2017.
The Government's Valuation Office Agency is busy updating its figures but Colliers has done its own research on how the rating revaluation will affect High Street retailers, based on analysis of rental data from 2010 to 2015.
It says it found big variations across the country:
Marlow faces an increase of 58% in rateable value, followed by Guildford at 42%, and Brighton up by 18.5%.
But Rochdale in Greater Manchester, hit hard by the economic downturn,  will see a decrease of 30%. Kidderminster in the West Midlands is down by 42%.
And in London, it is Dover Street which is the biggest loser, with an increase of 415%. Brixton faces a potential 128% increase in rateable value, although Ealing will see a decrease of 46%.
Mr Webber believes some retailers are going to be in for a nasty shock when the business rates change in 2018.
"Business rates is a major cost for retailers and it's really important that they are able to budget for these once-in-a-generation changes," he adds.
The government has promised a review of the current system and will deliver its findings by next year's Budget.
Business rates are expected to raise around £28bn for the Treasury's coffers this year, more than the sum...

Summary: High Streets in the UK are set to face radical changes in the amount of money they pay in business rates in future, new research suggests.

Article: Martin Godfrey said he had never supplied Tesco and was surprised to find the picture being used on the firm's website.
The supermarket chain acquired the image through an agency.
A Tesco spokesperson said: "We work tirelessly to support farmers and suppliers and we are sorry for any upset that has been caused."
Mr Godfrey, from Okehampton, Devon, said the picture was originally taken when he was working for Shillingford Organics near Exeter, but was later sold on as a stock image.
Tesco later got the image through its advertising agency, which acquired it from Getty Images.
Mr Godfrey owns an organic produce business and campaigns with the Land Workers' Alliance.
He said the picture of him pulling carrots on the organic farm was a "marketing blunder".
"This inappropriate use of the organic farming image and myself... was taken whilst working at Shillingford Organics some 10 years ago, which has no connection to Tesco whatsoever," he said.
The image has been removed from the supermarket's online promotions, but remains printed in some of its magazines.
Tesco has promised not to use the image in future promotions.
It has offered to donate Â£1,000 to a local charity, Mr Godfrey said.
He said he appreciated the supermarket was "doing something about food waste" and suggested other chains should do the same.

Article: Those falling below the targets, including some rated as "good" by Ofsted, will be labelled as "coasting".
The new threshold for secondary schools will require 60% of pupils to achieve five good GCSEs, including English and maths.
"I'm unapologetic about shining a spotlight on complacency," said Mrs Morgan.
"For too long a group of coasting schools, many in leafy areas with more advantages than schools in disadvantaged communities, have fallen beneath the radar," said the education secretary.
These might be "very good schools but young people are not fulfilling all of their potential".
The education department says that "hundreds" of schools will have to raise their results to meet these higher expectations.
But head teachers' leader Brian Lightman said the definitions for this new category were "muddled and unfair".
Schools falling into this coasting category will be given help to improve, but those that fail to make progress could be turned into academies. The classification will be based on three years of results.
The plans, introduced in the Education and Adoption Bill, are aimed at raising standards in hundreds of schools that are achieving adequate exam results, but where the government believes achievement could be much higher.
There will also be a target for primary schools to stay above this coasting label, requiring 85% of pupils to achieve the expected standard in their national curriculum tests.
As well as those failing to reach these targets, schools will be labelled as "coasting" if a below-average proportion of pupils are making the expected amount of progress.
The plans are aimed at pushing schools to achieve more than the "artificial borderline" of sufficient numbers of good grades at GCSE and in primary tests.
Mrs Morgan says schools should be "stretching every pupil to unlock their potential".
Schools falling into the coasting category will be expected to produce a "credible plan to improve" and will be given assistance by "expert" head teachers.

Article: He was visiting Scotland on Tuesday to speak in support of the union after opinion polls put the two sides in next week's referendum neck-and-neck.
The three main UK parties have all proposed extra powers for Scotland if its people vote to stay in the UK.
But former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley said Wales should have confidence to push for independence.
Mr Jones has urged the people of Scotland to reject independence and help "rebuild" the UK.
Asked if he feared the impact of a yes vote, Mr Jones said: "Yes, I do."
He said Scotland brought "balance" to the UK, and its population "seems a lot bigger" than Wales' "because of the weight it carries in the UK".
Scotland's population is 5.3m, while Wales' is 3.1m.
He added: "With Scotland gone, a lot of work would need to be done in order to make sure what is left was stable going forward. You'd have a very big nation in England, and two much smaller nations in Wales and Northern Ireland.
"You have to work out what it would be called, work out what flag it uses. These things can be done, but I come back to the point: why do you need to do that? Why do you need to take the risk?"
Mr Jones accepted it had taken time for the pro-union parties to agree on "a common way forward", and called again for a constitutional convention to discuss the UK's future.
In an earlier interview on BBC Radio Wales, he said: "It's not all about fear... there is a positive alternative vision for Scotland."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies also called on Scottish voters to support the UK as a "positive example of social, economic and national union".

Article: Mr Warmbier died without recovering on Monday, having been brought back to the US last week. His family blames the North Korean authorities for his death.
US President Donald Trump called the North a "brutal regime".
A spokesman in Pyongyang was quoted by Reuters as saying Mr Warmbier's death was "a mystery".
Mr Warmbier, 22, a student at the University of Virginia, had been travelling with a tour group when he was arrested at Pyongyang airport in January 2016.
Accused of stealing a propaganda sign from a hotel, he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour.
His family had no news of him until 13 June when Pyongyang announced he had been in a coma since his trial, attributing it to botulism.
More than 2,500 family, friends and well-wishers gathered for his funeral in Ohio on Thursday.
The North Korean spokesman quoted by Reuters suggested the student had returned to the US "in his normal state of health".
"The fact that Warmbier died suddenly in less than a week just after his return to the US in his normal state of health indicators is a mystery to us as well," he said.
Accusations that the student died because of torture and beating during his captivity were "groundless", he added.
A North Korean spokesman quoted by AFP news agency accused the US of mounting a "smear campaign".
"Our relevant agencies treat all criminals... thoroughly in accordance with domestic laws and international standards and Warmbier was not an exception," a spokesman for the National Reconciliation Council said.
"Those who have absolutely no idea about how well we treated Warmbier under humanitarian conditions dare to utter 'mistreatment' and 'torture'."
They say he suffered a "severe neurological injury", the most likely cause of which was a cardiopulmonary arrest that had cut the blood supply to the brain.
They say there was no evidence he suffered from botulism.
A post-mortem examination was not carried out at the request of the family.
The family maintain he died as a result of "awful torturous mistreatment".

Article: Otters were declared extinct on the Japanese islands by its Ministry of the Environment in August 2012.
The Skye-based International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) has been helping with the reintroduction preparations.
Dr Takahiro Murakami, who will lead the Japanese visit to Scotland, has never seen otters in the wild.
The Japanese otter was believed to be either a subspecies of the Eurasian otter or possibly even a separate species.
Conservationists have suggested reintroducing otters to Hokkaido, an island in north Japan.
IOSF supports conservation projects across the world.
It also rescues and raises orphaned otter cubs.

Article: Construction workers are required to hold a CSCS card to prove skills and a knowledge of health and safety.
But a joint BBC London/Newsnight investigation found organised cheating.
Carl Rhymer, of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), one test provider, said 6,000 card-holders would be required to re-sit the exam.
CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) cards are widely seen as the UK's flagship scheme for certifying builders and are required by nine of the UK's biggest construction companies as well as Crossrail and Heathrow.
But the investigation found numerous test centres were offering guaranteed passes for cash, enabling workers lacking English to obtain qualifications and entry to dangerous construction sites.
During the investigation the BBC exposed Wep HSE, in Ealing, after its award-winning director, Garet Estensen, read exam answers from a big screen, instructing candidates: "Follow me on screen, guys. I'm going to shout the correct answer."
Confronted with the evidence, Mr Estensen made no comment.
The other two centres exposed during the investigation were Future Training 4 Jobs in Ilford and Training Xpress Limited in Colindale. Both have now been suspended from testing.
Mr Rhymer, director of delivery and customer engagement at the CITB, said it was aware of fraudulent incidents and was "tackling this head-on".
He said: "We are working hard with CSCS and the police to crack down on fraud and we are accelerating existing plans to install mandatory CCTV in all testing centres.
"We've also increased the number of spot checks on centres, to act as a deterrent."
Mr Rhymer said following a review it had found the "vast majority" of tests were legitimate but it would "require 6,000 individuals to be retested... to eliminate any doubt".
But Alistair Donaghey, health, safety and environmental manager of Willmott Dixon, a construction company with a Â£1bn turnover said: "I'll never trust the scheme again."

Article: Christopher Jones started a fire in his Park Avenue property after causing gas to build up for several days in April.
Perth Sheriff Court was told residents of eight flats were evacuated as a result.
Jones, 42, of Perth, will be sentenced later in June after admitting causing the explosion.
He also admitted a charge of stalking a woman at her home and various locations.
The court was told that Jones had attempted to take his own life by causing the explosion after losing his sight.
Depute fiscal Nicola Gillespie said gas engineers had been called to the premises several times after neighbours reported leaks.
She said:  "There was an explosion and smoke could be seen.  All the residents were evacuated.
"The accused was topless, wearing jeans and covered in soot.
"He had burns to his face, hands and neck.
"He said he had been sitting on the toilet when he lit a cigarette and the flat exploded."
Miss Gillespie said a joint investigation discovered a fire had been started deliberately in the bedroom and that Jones was not in the room when it exploded, as he would have been unlikely to survive the blast.
The fiscal said that the repair bill for each flat ran to "tens of thousands of pounds".
Solicitor David Holmes, defending, said: "He lost his sight and it has significantly deteriorated in the last year and he has found it difficult to adjust."
Sheriff William Wood remanded Jones in custody and deferred sentence for social work and psychiatric reports.

The work is about "remembering the many lives lost at sea", the artists said.
Somewhere Becoming Sea, another exhibition at the same venue, explores Hull's relationship with the North Sea.
Read more stories from across Hull and East Yorkshire
Both exhibitions are part of Hull's City of Culture programme, and are taking place at Humber Street Gallery from 5 April.
Commenting on the exhibition, Ms Orta said the treacherous conditions faced by the doomed sailors in Gericault's work reminds us of the fateful journeys of slaves and migrants throughout history.
"Even more so today, we all play witness to the perilous journeys of the thousands of refugees navigating the oceans in search of a safe haven."
She said the exhibit related to Hull's maritime history, and its story moving forward.
The Raft of the Medusa exhibit is also said to incorporate debris from the Japanese tsunami in 2011, found washed up on the shores of Alaska four years later.
Steven Bode, curator of Somewhere Becoming Sea, said the exhibition explores Hull's longstanding place as a gateway to the North Sea.
He said: "Hull has been at the sharp end of some recent economic changes - the decline of the local fishing industry, shifting patterns of maritime trade - but it is also potentially at the forefront of a new relationship to the sea, through things like the green energy of wind turbines."

Article: Sterling fell as low as $1.4618 before recovering slightly in late trading.
Earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said UK industrial output figures rose by just 0.1% in February from January.
The small increase was below analysts' forecasts for a 0.3% gain.
A number of opinion polls that showed Labour ahead of the Conservatives also unsettled traders.
One said the pound could fall far further if there were to be a prolonged struggle to form a government in the absence of a dominant party.
"A $1.40 level for sterling/dollar is certainly not out of reach if the election aftermath turns ugly," said Steve Barrow, currency strategist at Standard Bank.
Oil and gas production fell sharply, while the construction sector contracted by 0.9% in February, compared with forecasts for a rise of 2%.
The figures suggest the economy has slowed down this year, after a strong showing of 2.8% growth in 2014.
Manufacturing output showed the best growth within the industrial output measure, with a gain of 0.4% in February, bouncing back from its drop of 0.6% in January.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said: "Clearly this all bodes ill for economic growth in the opening quarter of the year. It's now looking like the economy slowed, and possibly quite markedly, compared to the 0.6% expansion seen in the closing quarter of 2014.
"The trend should improve in March, however, according to survey data."
The ONS' industrial output data covers 14.6% of the UK economy.
The first official estimate of gross domestic product for the first quarter of the year will be released about a week before the general election.

Article: Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said he could see "no realistic prospect" of publication before 7 May.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the delay was "incomprehensible", while former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith called it "disappointing".
Here's what you need to know about the Chilcot Inquiry.
The Chilcot Inquiry is an independent investigation looking into Britain's role in the 2003 Iraq War.
It covers the period in the run-up to the conflict, the military invasion and then the aftermath of the conflict up until 2009.
The Labour government at the time, led by Prime Minister Tony Blair, agreed to British military involvement in the US-led invasion of the country.
The Conservatives backed British involvement in the war but the Liberal Democrats opposed it.
It was controversial because Tony Blair claimed to Parliament that intelligence reports showed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction but none of those weapons were ever found.
In 2009 Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced the inquiry to "learn the lessons" of the conflict in which 179 UK service personnel died.
It was to be led by Sir John Chilcot, a former civil servant.
More than 100 witnesses gave evidence.
They included dozens of politicians, government advisers, civil servants and lawyers involved in the decision to invade Iraq.
One of the main witnesses was Tony Blair who gave evidence over two days in January 2010.
British ambassadors to the US and Iraq also appeared before the inquiry as well as UK intelligence officials and senior military officials.
Evidence began in 2009 and the last public hearing was held on 2 February 2011.
Despite almost four years passing since the inquiry's final public hearing, Sir John Chilcot has now confirmed it will not be published before the General Election in May 2015.
He says the delay is to give the opportunity for several witnesses to reply to criticism of them contained in the report.
Some witnesses claim they only received the documents regarding the criticism just before Christmas.

Article: This was the year when 5,650 farmers killed themselves in the country.
So the number of suicides by housewives was about four times those by farmers. They also comprised 47% of the total female victims.
Yet the high number of homemakers killing themselves doesn't make front page news in the way farmer suicides do, year after year.
In fact, more than 20,000 housewives have been killing themselves in India every year since 1997, the earliest year for which we have information compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau based on occupation of the victim. In 2009, the grim statistic peaked at 25,092 deaths.
Forget raw numbers.
The rate of housewives taking their lives - more than 11 per 100,000 people - has been consistently higher than India's overall suicide rate since 1997. It dropped to 9.3 in 2014, yet suicide rate for housewives was more than twice those for farmers that year.
Suicide rates of housewives vary from state to state.
In 2011, for example, their rates - more than 20 per 100,000 people - were higher in states like Maharashtra, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, West Bengal and Gujarat. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar showed lower suicide rates.
Peter Mayer, who teaches politics at the University of Adelaide and has spent much time studying the sociology of suicide in India, wonders why suicide rates of housewives in India is so high, and why it gets so little attention in the  media.
After all, as Mr Mayer says, research in western societies suggests that "marriage confers protection from suicide to married women".
Therefore, married people are less likely to kill themselves - studies have found suicide rates for married people in the US and Australia, for example, are lower than others in the same age group.
India, clearly, is an outlier.
Nearly 70% of people who took their lives in 2001, for example, were married - 70.6% of the men and 67% of the women.
A study published in the medical journal The Lancet in 2012 found that the suicide rate in...

Article: The missile reached an altitude of about 3,000km (1,865 miles) and landed in the sea off Japan, the Japanese national broadcaster NHK said.
It comes three weeks after North Korea's first ICBM test.
In response, the US and South Korean military conducted a live-firing exercise using surface-to-surface missiles, a US defence official said.
The missiles were fired into the "territorial waters of South Korea along the east coast," a US military statement said.
The latest North Korean missile flew higher, further and for longer than the one in early July. Its launch has been condemned by a number of countries.
The test - the 14th carried out by North Korea in 2017 - is the latest to be conducted in defiance of a UN ban.
US President Donald Trump called it "only the latest reckless and dangerous action by the North Korean regime".
Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear nonproliferation expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California, said that initial indications showed the latest missile had a range of about 10,000km - far enough to strike the west coast of the United States and beyond.
The Washington Post reported that Denver and possibly Chicago could now be in North Korea's range.
The latest missile was launched at 23:41 (15:41 GMT) from an arms plant in Jagang province in the north of the country, the Pentagon said.
It is unusual for North Korea to launch a missile at night - the significance is as yet unclear. No missiles had been fired from Jagang province before, indicating a previously-unknown launch site is operational.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the missile flew for about 45 minutes - some six minutes longer than the ICBM tested in early July.
NHK said it reached an altitude of about 3,000km - about 200km higher than the previous ICBM. It landed about 1,000km from the launch site, the Pentagon said.
ICBMs can reach altitudes well outside the earth's atmosphere. Using sharp trajectories with high altitudes allows North Korea to avoid firing over neighbouring...

Scottish Borders Council said a report on the project had to be considered behind closed doors as it contained "commercially sensitive" information.
Both sites are said to be "viable options" but Galashiels may be able to attract more funding.
The meeting of Scottish Borders Council to consider the two potential locations will be held on Thursday.
One site is opposite Tweedbank station while the other is a town centre site in Galashiels - the exact location has not yet been revealed.
Analysis: Giancarlo Rinaldi, BBC news website, south of Scotland reporter
The long-running saga of where to site the Great Tapestry of Scotland may be entering the final furlong at last.
What looked like a certain win for Tweedbank is now being battled out neck-and-neck with Galashiels.
It won't be popular with the public that the meeting to discuss the project is being held behind closed doors.
However, the council has promised a full update following their talks.
They have been tight-lipped about what the ultimate outcome might be but there seem to be some gentle hints of a change of heart.
If I were a betting man, I think I might be having a modest wager on Galashiels beating Tweedbank by a nose.
Council leader David Parker said: "We are proposing that we proceed to look in further detail at the Galashiels option as this may attract further additional funding that the Tweedbank project could not access and it would also act as a significant town centre regeneration project.
"Siting the visitor centre in Galashiels town centre would have the potential to unlock substantial benefits for the town, including transforming it into a true visitor destination, which could encourage further positive developments in the town over a number of years.

Article: But the 75-year-old law professor has played a key role in the impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff.
Under Brazil's constitution, he became acting president after the Senate voted in favour of launching an impeachment trial against Ms Rousseff, suspending her.
Mr Temer is a discreet politician who seems always to be hovering around the centre of everything important, yet - up until now - never in the spotlight.
But recently he has come out of the shadows, as a skilled politician intent on ending the Rousseff presidency and beginning a new era in Brazil.
Mr Temer's most notable achievement as a politician has been to help the country's biggest political party - the PMDB - form coalitions with every president in the past two decades. He is currently party president.
He presided over Brazil's lower house of Congress during the years of the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government (1995-2002), when Brazil underwent a liberal programme of privatisations and opening-up of the economy.
And under Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (2002-10, known as Lula) and Ms Rousseff, he has played a key role in helping push forward their Workers' Party agenda of state-led investments.
But rather like his party, which has not held outright power for over two decades, Mr Temer has always been a kingmaker, but never king.
Both party and man avoid clear ideological positions, which leaves them in a comfortable position for negotiating their participation in coalitions of any political colour.
As Brazil's political crisis worsened and Ms Rousseff's Workers' Party bore most of the brunt for the many scandals in the country, the PMDB saw an opportunity to finally seize power.
For most of last year, as Ms Rousseff's situation deteriorated, Mr Temer kept a low profile.
But in December, things began to change.
The then-speaker of Brazil's lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, also a PMDB politician, opened impeachment proceedings against Ms Rousseff for allegedly doctoring government public finances - an allegation the president...

Article: The 750-year-old Black Book of Carmarthen is the first Welsh text to include medieval figures such as King Arthur and Merlin.
But for hundreds of years never-before-seen poetry and pictures have been hidden to the naked eye.
Now, thanks to high resolution photography and UV lighting, some of its secrets have finally been revealed.
The book, which was written in the priory at Carmarthen, is now owned by and kept at the National Library of Wales in environmentally controlled conditions to protect the fragile text.
The collection of poetry and illustrations was penned by one scribe in the 13th Century who added to it over the years.
It was then passed from owner to owner, with more additions being made in the margins.
Prof Paul Russell, from the University of Cambridge, who has been uncovering the book's secrets, said: "That tradition of adding to it over the years was carried on by subsequent owners, it was a living text that was constantly added to."
But 300 years after it was first written the then owner, believed to be Jaspar Gryffyth, decided to purge the pages of anything that was not original.
Prof Russell added: "This man in the 16th Century went through the book tidying it up. The owner erased a lot of material from the left, right, top and bottom margins. Anything he thought was an addition, he got rid of."
The book was written on vellum - animal skin which has been stretched, dried and smoothed.
Prof Russell believes the person who erased parts of the book used a pumice stone.
He said: "It takes off a slight layer off the surface, but the ink has penetrated a bit further so what we can do is use UV light to bring out that ink.
"On some bits of it you can't recover anything as it has been rubbed so hard."
Although it was suspected there could be some text hidden within the pages, the researchers who first looked at the book under UV light were shocked when they found two faces staring out at them.
Prof Russell said: "It was a scary moment when we turned the page and out popped these faces in the bottom...

Article: The lion, called Sylvester, crawled under an electric fence after heavy rains dislodged earth, according to a Karoo National Park spokeswoman.
The park authorities intend to use a helicopter to find the lion.
He was fitted with a tracking collar after he was on the loose for three weeks last year.
More on this and other African news stories
The park authorities said on Wednesday that they were still considering five options, only one of which was to kill the lion.
Other options were to bring the lion back to the park and improve the fencing.
They said the previous decision to kill Sylvester had been made prematurely.
On Tuesday night South Africa National Parks tweeted that it was a difficult decision to put down the lion once they find him.
The hashtag #SaveSylvester has been trending in South Africa since Wednesday morning.
Last June, Sylvester went on a sheep-killing spree, wandering 300km (180 miles) before he was found taking a nap by rangers and airlifted from the Nuweveld Mountains in Western Cape.
On his current escape, he has already travelled at least 20km (12 miles) and killed a cow, according to AFP news agency.
Meanwhile in Kenya, another lion was shot dead by a ranger on Wednesday after he escaped from a park in Nairobi.
Several lions have escaped from the park in recent weeks.

Article: The ad triggered the devices to read out information about the burgers from online encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
However, somebody edited Wikipedia to describe the Whopper as the "worst hamburger product" and another added cyanide to the list of ingredients.
The BBC understands the ad was blocked.
Google did not publicly confirm this, saying only that it had "no involvement" in the campaign.
But Burger King confirmed to the BBC that after the first iteration of the ad was blocked, it ran a tweaked version on US TV.
According to a Burger King spokeswoman, the new ad was revoiced using a "different intonation" that bypassed the ban.
In the 15-second advert, a Burger King employee asks "OK, Google. What is the Whopper burger?"
The stunt has put Wikipedia in the spotlight after reports that Burger King's own marketing team edited the Whopper page shortly before the ad campaign.
The history of the page shows that changes were made on 4 April by Burger King Corporation. It edited the description of the product to include the lines "America's favourite burger" and "100% beef with no preservatives".
This change was quickly re-edited back to the original version.
Wikipedia has not responded to requests for comment.
Whether Burger King expected users to go on to make their own, less flattering edits is unclear but Emily Tan, technology editor at marketing news website Campaign, thinks it might have been aware such a reaction was likely.
"Burger King has a reputation as quite a provocative brand and the idea that users are hijacking a brand can charm and amuse people. There is a chance that Burger King expected this to happen," she said.
However, she thought it was less likely they expected the backlash from users about the intrusive nature of such adverts.

Article: Near the villages of Deputatsky and Pervomaysky, an hour's drive from Chebarkul city, whole families of meteorite hunters are hard at work.
The meteorite passed over the area before reportedly crashing into the Chebarkul lake,  and the snowy fields are covered with human footprints.
The nearby home of the Belizkaya family was filled with soot from their oven after the meteorite explosion, which caused the ceiling to crack.
Initially frightened, now the family calls that day their "rebirth", and have so far found three 1cm-wide meteorite fragments.
"We came with all the family, we do it out of interest, really, this is such a memento of that event," says Elena Belizkaya of the hoard. "We'll keep it at home for now, but if there's a chance to sell it, we'll sell some, of course!"
Meteorite hunters require no particular expertise as the hunt is relatively simple - fragments leave a small crater similar to a mouse's hole. If you find such a hole in a bank of snow you can be fairly certain - it is either a mouse or a meteorite.
The BBC team found four tiny stones within five minutes. Most of those fragments found near Deputatsky are pea-sized, but some can be much bigger - more like golf balls.
The biggest fragment we saw weighed about 100g. It was found by a citizen of Chelyabinsk, who said he had received several offers from friends in Moscow.
"It's like hunting or fishing," said one meteorite hunter. "When you see an animal, your heart starts to beat fast, and when you're fishing - it's like pulling the fishing rod and thinking there's something extraordinary. This is the same - you see a tiny hole, try it, and here it is."
Scientists from the meteorite laboratory at the Russian Academy of Science collecting samples in Chelyabinsk say the more meteorite hunters the merrier, because there are only a couple of days of good weather left for the search.
Any wind or snowfall will destroy meteorite traces, and small fragments will simply not be found until the spring, when the fields will be covered by tall...

Article: Forecasts were for quarterly growth of between 0.5% and 0.7%.
Official statistics also showed that household consumption expenditure boosted the quarterly growth numbers.
But economist Shane Oliver told the BBC the numbers were "well below potential".
On an annual basis the economy expanded 2.3%, beating expectations for 2.1%.
Economic growth in the March quarter of 2014 was 2.9%.
"The March quarter GDP [gross domestic product] growth was far better than feared just a few days ago," said Mr Oliver, who is chief economist with AMP Capital in Sydney.
"However, Australia is still not out of the woods, as annual growth at 2.3% is well below potential, and a full 0.8% percentage points of the 0.9% growth came from higher inventories and trade."
He said domestic demand remained "very weak with consumer spending and home construction only just offsetting the ongoing slump in mining investment".
"So the Australian economy has not crashed - as many had feared would happen after the end of the mining boom - but it is continuing to grow at a sub par pace," he added.
Australia's economy has been adjusting to a post mining-boom landscape. It saw its economy grow 0.5% in the October to December 2014 period from the quarter before, when growth was 0.4%.
On Tuesday, the country's central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), did not cut its lending rates further to help boost the economy, despite pressure from businesses to do so.
The decision saw Australian stocks fall 1.72% as investors saw little hope of a further cut in the near future.
However, Evan Lucas from IG Markets in Melbourne said "the collapse of [Australian stocks] on the back of the RBA not having an explicit easing bias... was a bit of an overreaction".
In May, the RBA cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to an all-time low of 2%.
Rising property prices in Australia's biggest city, Sydney, a strong currency and a drop in iron ore prices were among the reasons for the cut.
The May rate cut was the second this year, following a previous 25...

Article: The planet's climate has constantly been changing over geological time. The global average temperature today is about 15C, though geological evidence suggests it has been much higher and lower in the past.
However, the current period of warming is occurring more rapidly than many past events. Scientists are concerned that the natural fluctuation, or variability, is being overtaken by a rapid human-induced warming that has serious implications for the stability of the planet's climate.
The greenhouse effect refers to the way the Earth's atmosphere traps some of the energy from the Sun. Solar energy radiating back out to space from the Earth's surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases and re-emitted in all directions.
The energy that radiates back down to the planet heats both the lower atmosphere and the surface. Without this effect, the Earth would be about 30C colder, making our planet hostile to life.
Scientists believe we are adding to the natural greenhouse effect with gases released from industry and agriculture (known as emissions), trapping more energy and increasing the temperature. This is commonly referred to as global warming or climate change.
The most important of these greenhouse gases in terms of its contribution to warming is water vapour, but concentrations show little change and it persists in the atmosphere for only a few days.
On the other hand, carbon dioxide (CO2) persists for much longer (it would take hundreds of years for it to return to pre-industrial levels). In addition, there is only so much CO2 that can be soaked up by natural reservoirs such as the oceans.
Most man-made emissions of CO2 are through the burning of fossil fuels, as well as through cutting down carbon-absorbing forests. Other greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide are also released through human activities, but their overall abundance is small compared with carbon dioxide.
Since the industrial revolution began in 1750, CO2 levels have risen by more than 30% and methane levels have risen more...

Article: The High Negotiations Committee (HNC) says it will now wait for his Tuesday's talks with the government team to hear its response on humanitarian issues.
The HNC says an end to sieges and the bombing of civilians is a precondition for the indirect peace talks.
The Syrian government has said the opposition is not serious about peace.
More than 250,000 people have died in almost five years of war in Syria.
Eleven million others have fled their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other, as well as jihadist militants from so-called Islamic State (IS).
"I believe we received very positive messages from the special envoy and tomorrow he will have a meeting with the regime side and we will see wait for a reply from him," HNC spokesman Salim al-Muslat was quoted as saying by Reuters late on Monday.
Talks aimed at finding a political solution to the Syrian conflict were due to begin in earnest at the Palais des Nations in Geneva on Monday, with representatives of the warring parties sitting in separate rooms and UN officials shuttling between them.
However, Mr de Mistura's office said his morning appointment with the government's delegation had been rescheduled because he first wanted to have an official meeting with the HNC delegation in the Swiss city.
The envoy only paid an informal visit to the HNC negotiators' hotel on Sunday, when he was reported to have made a proposal based on their demands.
The Syrian opposition delegation's meeting with Staffan de Mistura marks the official start of the talks in Geneva, as the UN special envoy met the government's representatives on Friday.
There are immense diplomatic efforts taking place behind the scenes to ensure these talks are successful, but they could easily be derailed.
The opposition High Negotiation Committee says it may pull out if the government does not stop its attacks on civilians. It cites the bombardment of the Damascus suburb of Muadhamiya on Sunday and the attack on a refugee camp in the north on...

Summary: Syria's main opposition umbrella group says it had a "positive" meeting with the UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura at peace negotiations in Geneva.

Article: The Care Quality Commission (CQC) made a number of recommendations including ensuring nursing staffing levels were safe at Sandwell General Hospital and City Hospital in Birmingham.
It also called for improvements in A&E, medical care and surgery.
Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust said it is "working hard already to address the issues".
Care at the trust was given an overall rating of "requires improvement".
The CQC said: "The trust was rated as 'inadequate' with regard to whether [it] was always providing a service that is safe."
Source: CQC inspection between 14-17 and 25-30 October
The trust said the report made for  "difficult reading".
Chief executive Toby Lewis said: "The areas of improvement identified in the report are not a surprise to us at the trust, even where they are disappointing, or make difficult reading."
CQC's chief inspector, Prof Sir Mike Richards, said: "While we witnessed areas of good practice it is clear that the trust has work to do to make improvements which are sustainable long term."
Inspectors will return to check whether the necessary changes have taken place and the CQC will continue to monitor the trust "closely".
Mr Lewis said: "During the CQC visit, inspectors saw some individual examples of poor practice in some departments around hand washing, security of medicines and completion of patient records."
He said these individual examples "are not acceptable" and it is up to the trust leadership to ensure it gets "the basics right, first time, every time for every patient".

Summary:


A British ukulele group has lost its trademark infringement battle against a rival band over its name.

Article: But not earlier this month, when train drivers walked out for the longest strike in the history of Deutsche Bahn; the company that owns the German railway.
It is not the first time they have done so; for months they have been in an increasingly aggressive dispute with their employer.
The union which represents them, GDL, is demanding a 5% pay rise on their behalf and the two sides are deadlocked - despite intervention from German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The six-day industrial action is estimated to have cost German business â‚¬500m (Â£360m; $570m).
As that strike ended, another began. Kindergarten staff walked out in a dispute over pay.
Postal workers are threatening industrial action too.
And it is just a few weeks since pilots at the national carrier, Lufthansa, staged the latest in a series of strikes.
So what's going on?
"The tradition in Germany has been for unified trade unions, which try to organise all employees in one branch," says Jens Schubert, a lawyer for Verdi, one of the country's largest trade unions.
"The new tendency is we find more and more so-called craft unions - unions which represent only one part of a company or branch, like doctors or pilots."
In the case of the railway workers for example, the strikes have been called by the GDL union, which represents around 19,000 train drivers at Deutsche Bahn.
But far more of its employees are represented by another, more general transport union - EVG.
Nevertheless, GDL - like many other craft unions - has become a powerful voice, able to cripple Germany's rail network, despite not representing the vast majority.
It is tempting to wonder whether this spate of strikes represents a change in attitude among German workers.
But the number of days lost to strike action is actually decreasing. And workers here are far less militant than those in the UK and France.
Some six million people belong to trade unions in Germany in 2014, similar to the 6.5 million trade union members in the UK.
But they go on strike far less frequently than their European...

Article: Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer put forward a motion for debate on Wednesday calling for details of the strategy, with support from some on the Conservative back benches.
Now the government has tabled an amendment to win them back.
But sources are not committing Theresa May to publish any specific plans.
The motion will still be debated on Wednesday as part of the Opposition Day debate offered to rival parties to choose their subject for discussion in the House of Commons.
Mr Starmer tabled the motion, which said Mrs May should commit to publishing the plan for leaving the EU before Article 50 is invoked because it was "Parliament's responsibility to properly scrutinise the government while respecting the decision of the British people to leave the European Union".
The motion received the backing of some Tory MPs, with pro-European figures like Anna Soubry pledging their support.
But now, government sources have told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg that an amendment has been put forward by Downing Street, agreeing to publishing a plan, in exchange for a commitment to invoking Article 50 before the end of March 2017.
Steve Baker, Conservative MP for Wycombe, tweeted pictures of the amendments, claiming they also have the backing of the DUP and Douglas Carswell, UKIP's only MP.
However, government sources would not confirm any specific form of document on any specific timetable to fit with the commitment to publish a Brexit plan, apart from saying that it will be before Article 50.
Sources also said by accepting Labour's amendment, the government was not agreeing to give MPs a vote before the process of leaving the EU begins.
Mr Starmer, who will lead the debate for Labour, called the amendment "a welcome and hugely significant climbdown from the government" and said his party would push for the Brexit plan to be published by January.
"For the last two months Labour have been pushing the government to put their plan for Brexit before Parliament and the public," he said. "Without that plan, we have...

Article: The galaxy NGC 1277, just a quarter the size of our own Milky Way, hosts a black hole 4,000 times larger than the one at the Milky Way's centre.
A report in Nature shows it has a mass some 17 billion times that of our Sun.
The surprise finding is hard to reconcile with existing models of black hole growth, which hold that they evolve in tandem with host galaxies.
Getting to grips with just how large black holes are is a tricky business - after all, since they swallow light in their vicinities, they cannot be seen.
Instead, astronomers measure the black holes' "sphere of influence" - the gravitational effects they have on surrounding gas and stars.
In the Milky Way, it is possible to observe individual stars as they orbit Sagittarius A*, our own local black hole, to guess its mass.
But for the 100 or so far more distant black holes whose masses have been estimated, astronomers have made average measurements of associated stars' speeds - their "velocity dispersion".
On a hunt for the Universe's largest black holes, astronomers using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope in the US state of Texas undertook a survey that brought in a haul of nearly 900 host galaxies.
But Remco van den Bosch, then at the University of Texas at Austin, and his colleagues were surprised to find that some of the largest black holes were to be found in small galaxies.
Among them was NGC 1277, 220 million light years away in the constellation Perseus, which happens to appear also in a high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope image, helping the researchers to refine their computer models.
"We make a model of the galaxy and compute all the possible stellar orbits," Dr Van den Bosch, who is now at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany, explained to BBC News.
Could you survive falling into one?
"Like a big jigsaw, we try to put those orbits together to reproduce that galaxy so it has the same stellar velocities we measure. "
What the team found was that the NGC 1277 black hole was enormous - as large as our Solar System, and comprising some...

Summary: Astronomers have spotted an enormous black hole - the second most massive ever - but it resides in a tiny galaxy.

Article: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) said their reputation could be tarnished by the German-based United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra (UKUO).
The UOGB had sought a High Court injunction against the rival group of British players ahead of the UKUO's upcoming UK tour.
But the judge ruled in favour of the UKUO, saying it was not in competition.
Judge Richard Hacon agreed that, as the group had been performing in Germany for some years, the UOGB should have acted sooner.
Both orchestras perform their take on contemporary pop songs.
The UOGB, whose members dress like a traditional orchestra and sing and tell jokes on stage, have been performing for more than 25 years, released records and have appeared on television.
The British group took action ahead of the UKUO's first UK tour, which begins on 15 October in Lincoln.
"We have issued proceedings against a German-based musical group for registered trademark infringement. However the court didn't grant the injunction," UOGB founder George Hinchliffe told the BBC at the London court.
He added: "It's really not a policy of ours to comment upon litigation while it's still going through the courts. And we're a bit busy at the moment as we're just about to start a tour of China."
The court heard the UKUO performed in English and had a "certain English humour" which was aimed at the continental market and Germany in particular.
"We are very pleased with the outcome," said Peter Moss, UKUO musical director.
"Our view has always been that we never, ever wanted to have competition with the other side. We wish them well. We hope people will now come to see us play."
The UOGB said they was considering further legal action to protect their "name and reputation".

Article: The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) spoke to 7,300 businesses in the manufacturing and services sectors, and found the percentage seeking to hire had grown by up to 9% in the last quarter.
But most also experienced "high levels of recruitment difficulties" which the BCC said was a risk to growth.
The government said it was working to deliver a highly-skilled workforce.
According to the trade group's quarterly economic survey, both manufacturing and services firms reported "solid growth" in their businesses in first three months of the year, with domestic and export sales up since the previous quarter.
It also found "confidence in turnover and profitability is improving", and that some 86% of manufacturing firms, up from 77% in the last quarter, and 59% of services companies, up from 53%, wanted to find new recruits.
But despite this, around 74% of manufacturing firms and 58% of services firms said they were struggling to find staff.
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the BCC, told the BBC: "The main issue is finding enough people with the right skills, and of course the workforce is aging.
"A lot firms are also finding their costs rising and this is deterring business investment, including investing in training their staff."
He said new upfront taxes were partly to blame, such as the recently introduced immigration skills charge and new National Living Wage.
But he also said that the rising cost of imported raw materials, resulting from the weakness of the pound since the Brexit vote, had squeezed business spending.
"Another emerging issue is whether firms can continue to get workers from overseas both in the run-up to, and after, Brexit," he added. "Industries like hospitality and construction are heavily dependent on EU workers."
A government spokesman told the BBC: "The UK economy has shown sustained momentum since the EU referendum and it's encouraging to see continued investment and growth in important sectors like manufacturing and services.
"We know that businesses need a highly-skilled workforce to...

Article: Ayrshire Astronomical Society is among UK groups competing in the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) NameExoWorlds contest.
Names it has entered for a star and three planets include Schiehallion, a Munro in Perthshire.
The IAU said voting will begin in August.
It also confirmed that a problem with a website for the competition meant some submissions had to be resent.
The IAU and citizen science organisation Zooniverse expect to deal with millions of votes.
Results of the contest will be announced during a ceremony later this year in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii.
Exo-planets orbit distant stars and the IAU wants to find names for 305 which currently carry scientific designations such as GJ 832 b and CoRoT-1b.
Ayrshire Astronomical Society (AAS) is believed to be the only group from Scotland to have entered.
It has submitted names for upsilon Andromedae, a system who's star is visible with the naked eye from Scotland.
Moore has been suggested as the name for the star in honour of the late English astronomer and broadcaster Sir Patrick Moore.
Sagan - after American astronomer Carl Sagan - has been suggested for the planet upsilon Andromedae b.
The third planet, upsilon Andromedae c, should be named Clarke after legendary science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke, according to the AAS members.
Schiehallion has been suggested for upsilon Andromedae d.
The 3,547ft (1,083m) high mountain's name means "fairy hill of the Scots".

Summary: A public vote in an international competition to name distant planets will start next month, its organisers have said.

Article: The Sutton Trust says the cost of working for nothing rules out all but the wealthy and wants most interns to be paid at least minimum wage.
A third (31%) of graduate interns are unpaid, according to the charity's analysis of official data.
The CBI warned that banning unpaid internships could reduce opportunities.
The report uses government figures to suggest that some 22,000 interns may be working for nothing.
It analyses the costs of living in London and Manchester for interns on sixth-month work placements.
Taking into account rental for a room in a shared property, household bills, council tax, food and miscellaneous spending on items such as broadband, cleaning products and clothing, a Londoner would pay, £5,556 for the period and a Mancunian £4,827, amounting to £926 and £804 each month.
The researchers excluded transport costs as these are often paid by interns' employers.
"Internships commonly represent a first step in the ladder towards a professional career in the most competitive sectors, including fashion, journalism, politics, law, finance and the charity sector.
"Because these areas are so competitive, employers are often able to offer internships as completely unpaid positions," says the report.
"These issues make unpaid internships a serious and pressing problem for social mobility."
The trust says all interns on placements of over a month should be paid at least the national minimum wage of £6.50 an hour, and preferably the national living wage of £7.85 - or £9.15 in London.
It wants internships to be advertised publicly, rather than being filled informally and recruitment processes to be fair, transparent and based on merit.
Dr Lee Elliot Major, the trust's director of development and policy, said taking an unpaid internship was "beyond the means of the vast majority of individuals".
"Paying all interns who work for over a month the minimum wage would significantly improve access to these placements for those from more modest backgrounds, offering them a stepping stone into many coveted...

Thieves broke into vans and stole tools being used by a team working on a life-changing project for TV show DIY SOS.

Article: BBC+ is available on iOS and Android. It brings together news, iPlayer content, weather forecasts, recipes and more.
Users must have signed up for an account, which lets the BBC track their use of the software.
One expert questioned how much appetite there would be for the service.
It is the 15th app to be offered by the BBC, excluding those launched by its commercial arm BBC Worldwide.
"This follows a growing trend to have a super app which is a one-stop destination for a broad range of content and services," said Paolo Pescatore, from the CCS Insight consultancy.
"But the BBC, like others, needs to be very careful it does not overwhelm its customers with too many apps.
"Research has shown that there is growing 'app-athy' amongst consumers who can't cope with the sheer number of apps they end up with on their phones.
"The danger is that they use an app once and never return to it as it gets buried amongst other apps already installed - that is terrible for long-term consumer engagement."
The BBC recently announced one of its other apps - BBC Newsbeat - would soon close, and its youth-focused content would be rolled into the main BBC News app.
That decision was made, in part, because it had not attracted as many users as hoped.
"Audiences... are telling us that, online, BBC News is the brand," said BBC head of news James Harding at the time.
When people first use BBC+, it asks them to choose at least three topics from a list of more than 50 options.
Examples include:
The app then creates a scrollable "at a glance" feed and the option to click through to specific themed pages.
Once the user has flicked through all the options, they are presented with a page saying: "You're up to date!".
At present, the app appears low down in Apple's App Store and Google Play when searched for, but over time this should improve.
Many users had already signed up to have a myBBC account ahead of the new app's launch.

Article: The new Civil Sheriff Appeal Court will hear appeals on civil cases from local courts which are typically less serious than those escalated to the Court of Session.
The move is part of a series of Scottish government reforms to ensure cases are heard in the right courts.
A similar appeal court for criminal cases was opened in September 2015.
The Criminal Sheriff Appeal Court ran into trouble after some solicitors vowed to boycott it over levels of legal aid fees.
A Sheriff Personal Injury Court and a Scottish Sentencing Council have also been set up in a bid to speed up the Scottish justice system.
Community safety and legal affairs minister Paul Wheelhouse said the changes would help "reduce unnecessary delays".
He said: "We want to create a modern justice system that is fair, accessible and efficient and meets the needs of the people of Scotland. These reforms are a key part of our aims.
"The new Civil Sheriff Appeal Court will ensure that civil appeals are heard swiftly and efficiently at the appropriate level, reducing the number of such cases that require to be dealt with in the Court of Session."
Routine appeals from small claims and summary cases will be heard by a single sheriff at local courts, while more serious appeals requiring a bench of three appeal sheriffs will sit in Edinburgh.
The announcement was made on the same day Lord Carloway was officially installed as Lord President of the Court of Session, Scotland's most senior judge.

Summary: A new appeal court to examine disputed civil cases from Scotland's sheriff courts has been set up.

Article: Markus Eichhorn, from the University of Nottingham, said Britain's large deer population was damaging natural habitats and hurting bird numbers.
He argued hunting deer for venison would help to reverse a decline in the number of ground-nesting birds including the nightingale.
Animal rights group, Animal Aid, said the move would be "highly unethical".
Dr Eichorn led a team of academics commissioned by the government to study the causes behind the decline of woodland birds such as the nightingale, marsh tit, willow tit and lesser-spotted woodpecker.
All four birds are on the RSPB's red list and have suffered a "severe" decline in their breeding populations in the past 25 years.
In that time it is believed the population of the UK's deer has risen from about one million to about two million.
Comparing 40 woodland areas in England, the team found in areas of dense deer populations there was 68% less foliage near the ground compared with areas with fewer deer.
Dr Eichhorn said deer populations were at "extraordinarily high levels" due to the absence of large predators, among other reasons.
"We should not think of it in terms of a cull. We already eat venison in Britain but a large proportion of that is farmed meat.
"We [should] start eating wild-caught, free range British venison given that it's abundant and wildly available."
A spokeswoman for Animal Aid, an animal rights groups, said deer should be treated with respect.
She said: "It is humans that have caused deer populations to increase and these majestic animals should not be forced to pay for our mistakes with their lives."
Animals rights group PETA said: "Ecological harmony will never be achieved through the barrel of a gun."
