A man who raped two women - one of them while he was on probation for grooming two teenage girls - has been handed a lifelong restriction order.

Article: The Walkley Library building, on the corner of South Road, will continue to house a library.
But True North Brew Company, which owns several pubs in the city including the York in Broomhill, plans to renovate and extend the 1904 building to accommodate a bar.
The plans were passed by Sheffield City Council on Monday.
Chris Reece, chair of the Walkley Carnegie Library charity, said it had been run by volunteers since November 2014.
He said the decision would allow the group "to concentrate on maintaining the service".
True North Brew Company plans to build a two storey rear extension with a mezzanine floor.
Mr Reece said although the library area would be reduced, increased opening hours and more events in the building would make it "vibrant".
True North Brew Company will address maintenance issues and implement health and safety legislation, such as creating level access to the building.
The front, currently the children's library, will remain a library while the cafe bar will be situated at the back in the new extension.
In July 2014 Walkley was one of 10 "associate" libraries to which the council committed to provide financial support.
He said: "The new arrangement means the library can finally receive the attention that this Grade II-listed building deserves."
Community groups objected to initial plans to create a bar in the library but Walkley Carnegie Group said it was the most sustainable way to keep the library.

Summary: Part of a Grade II-listed library in Sheffield will become a cafe bar under plans approved by the council.

Article: Seven national polls conducted after the close of the Democratic convention last week showed the former secretary of state receiving an average increase of nearly 7% compared with her pre-convention support.
Mrs Clinton's favourability ratings have also improved, rising to an average of four points to 41% in recent polls.
Though a larger share finds her unfavourable at an average of 53%, it is still four point less than it was before the convention.
But do the recent batch of surveys paint an accurate picture of what will happen when voters head to the polls in November?
Not quite, according to experts and pollsters.
While Mrs Clinton has gained a comfortable lead over Mr Trump, it will take more than polling to determine who will end up in the Oval Office.
With hundreds of surveys tracking the election, US polls tend to be good at gauging American opinion, according Clifford Young, the president of US Public Affairs for Ipsos polling.
"We have the luxury of large numbers," Mr Young said. "That makes it better and easier for prediction."
However, all of these polls use different methodologies to survey Americans and one of the biggest challenges is determining who actually will cast a ballot in November.
"Polling is very difficult these days," said Brendan Nyhan, an assistant professor of government at Dartmouth College.
"It's hard to get a representative sample of Americans to take a survey online or by phone, and even if you do get a good sample, it's difficult to tell who is actually going to turn out to vote."
Research has also shown polls tend to be the least accurate the further they are from Election Day.
During the early stages of the primary election, parties have yet to select their nominee while voters may not necessarily be paying attention to candidates or the issues, Mr Nyhan said.
For example, polls conducted in January 2003 showed former President George W Bush ahead of Democratic Senator John Kerry by 8% and 17%.
However, Mr Bush finished just 2.5% ahead of Mr Kerry in the popular vote, the...

Article: The comment comes after the Welsh Government said deaths had stabilised following a significant rise towards the end of the last decade.
There were 463 deaths in 2015 and 504 in 2012, while all liver disease deaths were up 19.4% over the last five years.
But substance misuse charity Cais said there are still many older people who had drinking problems.
"I think we need to take cautious optimism from these figures," said Clive Wolfendale, the charity's chief executive.
"Deaths remain far too high. We still have decades of ill-health long stowed up in our population.
"There's certainly a culture of drinking to excess among the older generation and it's going to take some decades to play out.
"There are signs that alcohol consumption among teenagers are on the decline but, in some cases, they are turning to new psycho-active substances."
Mr Wolfendale added he was pleased to hear plans to introduce a new law setting a minimum price for alcohol in Wales could be revived by the Welsh Government.
Under the plans, the cost of alcohol would be determined by a formula based on its strength and volume.
However, the proposal depends on the result of a Supreme Court challenge against similar plans by the Scottish Government.
Meanwhile, Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said the Welsh Government's annual report on liver disease shows there is still more work to be done.
As well as alcohol, obesity and blood borne viral hepatitis C are the other most preventable causes of liver disease.
"In Wales, we want to reduce the number of people getting and dying from liver disease," he said.
"We want to ensure people - whatever their age - value good liver health, and are aware of the dangers of excess alcohol, obesity and blood borne viral hepatitis.
"We want everyone to take personal responsibility for their lifestyle choices and reduce the risk of acquiring preventable liver disease."
He said during 2015-16 there had been "continued progress in the care of patients with liver disease in Wales".
"We've seen a reduction in the...

Article: Jamie Rudling, 28, from Dunoon, repeatedly raped one victim, between 2003 and 2011, at an address in Argyll.
He also raped a 22-year-old woman while she was asleep, in Argyll in 2014.
At the High Court in Glasgow, Rudling was jailed for a minimum of three years and six months and told he may never be judged safe enough to be released.
Passing sentence, judge Judge Lady Carmichael told Rudling: "You present a high risk to the public at large if you are at liberty.
"You were sexually offending while on an extended sentence which was intended to protect the public."
Lady Carmichael told Rudling that he showed a pattern of sexual offending from his teenage years and added: "It is significant that your pattern of serious sexual offending became as excessive as it did over a significant period."
She added: "I am imposing a life-long restriction order. It is possible you many never be released. It will be up to the parole board to decide if he is ever released."
Rudling was given three years probation in March 2010 after being convicted of attempting to rape a sleeping woman.
He was also jailed for 28 months at Ayr Sheriff Court in November 2011 and placed under supervision for two years after he persuaded two teenage girls to expose themselves on a webcam.
He also arranged to meet one for sex at Braehead Shopping Centre in Renfrewshire.
Following his conviction, Rudling's counsel unsuccessfully argued for him to be given an extended sentence rather that a life-long restriction order.
Lady Carmichael dismissed imposing an extended sentence saying: "That has been tried already and there was re-offending."

"I was trying to be the artist on this without being the CEO of it.
"I wanted him to basically control it and tell me where I should be at, what I should sound like, what I should look like. Basically the hole nine [yards]."
Explaining why he was so comfortable, he said it was down to his long-term friendship with Pharrell.
"This is not our first merry-go-round," he said.
"We've been doing this for years and so for him to finally do a whole album on me and tell me what I should be doing - that's what I was looking for.
"I've been doing it for so long now and sometimes it gets to a point where it's too hectic because I've got to do everything.

Article: The homes would instead be converted into accommodation for older people, in proposals being considered by the council over the next few weeks.
If the plans are approved, 210 of the council's 626 sheltered housing units would become retirement housing.
The council said it needed to develop a "more sustainable and affordable" housing solution for those over 60.
The report will be considered by the Social Work and Health Committee on 12 January and by the Communities Committee the following week.
Council leader Iain Gaul said there was a "lessening demand" for other sheltered housing in Angus.
"Five years ago the total losses from void properties was just over Â£91,000 - last year it was just under Â£217,000," he said. "We cannot sustain that level of lost income to housing.
"It is well known that the overall financial position for council services has never been so severe. In that context we have to ensure that all of our services operate as effectively and efficiently as possible."
The committee has recommended that community volunteers are used to support the sheltered housing provision for adults of any age that have medical or support needs.
It said that "universal provision" of sheltered housing did not comply with the Scottish government "self-directed support" policy which was introduced in 2013.
The new policy requires that individuals can choose who provides care and support services.
Mr Gaul added: "The council remains committed to ensuring that tenants care and support needs are met, but we must also comply with the requirements of self-directed support."
The council also plans to expand the caretaker service and invest in the communal facilities at the elderly housing complexes over the next four years.
The report follows a consultation with sheltered housing tenants.

Summary: Angus Council's sheltered housing provision should be reduced by a third, a report has recommended.

Article: Badreddine's death near Damascus airport was announced on Friday and initially blamed on Israel, Hezbollah's chief enemy.
Badreddine was believed to have run all Hezbollah's military operations in Syria since 2011.
Thousands of Hezbollah troops are supporting President Bashar al-Assad.
This has pitted it against several groups of anti-Assad rebels - from so-called Islamic State (IS) to the al-Nusra Front.
Without naming any group, the Hezbollah statement said: "Investigations have showed that the explosion, which targeted one of our bases near Damascus International Airport, and which led to the martyrdom of commander Mustafa Badreddine, was the result of artillery bombardment carried out by takfiri groups in the area."
Takfiri is used to describe militants who believe Muslim society has reverted to a state of non-belief.
However, the BBC's Arab Affairs Editor Sebastian Usher says questions still remain over Badreddine's death.
A monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said there had been no recorded shelling or firing in the area for more than a week, although Hezbollah has not said when Badreddine died.
Many political assassinations involving Lebanese and Syrian political figures have remained unsolved, our correspondent says.
Obituary: Mustafa Badreddine
Profile: Lebanon's Hezbollah
Who stands accused of Hariri killing?
The Lebanese Shia Islamist movement has played a major role in helping Iran, its main military and financial backer, to prop up the government of President Assad since the uprising erupted in 2011.
Thousands of Hezbollah fighters are assisting government forces on battlefields across Syria, particularly those near the Lebanese border, and hundreds are believed to have been killed.
The Hezbollah statement said Badreddine's death "will increase our determination... to continue the fight against these criminal gangs and defeat them".
Born in 1961, Badreddine is believed to have been a senior figure in Hezbollah's military wing. He was a cousin and brother-in-law of Imad...

Article: The humpback has been seen at Pettycur Bay, Kinghorn in Fife.
Humpback sightings are not uncommon in Scotland, but a large whale so far up the Forth estuary is a lot more unusual.
Police Scotland is warning boat owners to keep a safe distance from the whale.
Lindsay Kerr, Police Scotland wildlife liaison officer, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for wildlife watchers and marine tourism but it is essential that the health and well-being of the animals is considered at all times.
"The Forth estuary is subject to large tidal changes and any disturbance to the visiting whale could cause significant risk of it becoming distressed and moving further into shallow water and then becoming stranded by a rapidly outgoing tide.
"Legislation is in place to protect these marine mammals. Please enjoy this wonderful occurrence but do show respect to the whales and be aware of the protection afforded to them.
"I recommend boat and vessel owners follow the Wildlife Safe (WiSe) scheme. In this particular case, commercial and recreational users should not make any attempts to approach or actively pursue the whale.
"The scheme, which is a UK standard for commercial marine wildlife watching, includes a code of conduct and sets out best practice for wildlife watching."
Endangered species such as dolphins, porpoises and whales are protected by wildlife legislation including the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Under the Act, it is an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb them.

The High Court has banned publication of photographs allegedly stolen from Pippa Middleton's iCloud account.

Article: McIlroy goes into 2017 with only Jason Day above him in the world rankings and with four major titles to his name.
Nicklaus believes the 27-year-old from Northern Ireland now has to decide whether he wants to try to become the sport's greatest player.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the 18-time major champion was also optimistic about golf's future but renewed his call for a cut in the distance the ball travels.
In recent years Nicklaus has developed a strong friendship with McIlroy, who often practises at the 76-year-old American's Bears Club in Jupiter, Florida.
"Rory is one of those young men who has got a tremendous amount of talent," Nicklaus said.
"He has won and played on his talent to this point. If he wishes to dominate and go forward then he's got to improve."
Nicklaus warned that standing still at the top of the game means only one thing - quickly being passed. And he believes the UK's leading player is now approaching the prime of his career.
"He has to work hard, he's got to focus on what he is trying to do and it is up to him. Certainly he has all the tools to be able to do it - it is just whether he has the desire and the willingness to give up some other things.
"And that's his call. I mean, whatever Rory does, he has established himself as one of the great players that has ever played the game.
"Whether he wants to be the greatest player to have played the game, that's his determination and it's his decision whether he wants to make that effort to try to do that."
The 2017 season is likely to be a pivotal year in McIlroy's life with his wedding to fiancee Erica Stoll rumoured to be scheduled for the weeks following April's Masters.
Nicklaus famously combined a successful family life, bringing up five children, with collecting a record number of majors and an astonishing 118 tournament victories worldwide.
"It's just management of time," Nicklaus said. "When you are young and single and just one dimensional you pretty much can do things at your leisure.
"Once you start getting married, having a family,...

Article: Transport Minister Edwina Hart has announced the new services will create 20 new train crew and depot jobs.
The changes, which will be on an initial three-year trial basis, will come into place from May 2015.
Rail users welcomed the move, saying both lines provide "vital services".
On the Cambrian line, four new return services will operate between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury from Monday to Saturday, with hourly services for peak morning and afternoon times.
There will also be two new return Sunday services and an improvement to evening services on the Cambrian coast between Barmouth and Pwllheli.
On the Heart of Wales line there will be extra journeys between Llandovery, Gowerton and Swansea, and between Llandrindod, Shrewsbury and Crewe from Monday to Friday.
Other return services will become more conveniently timed, and the Heart of Wales Line Forum will get £150,000 to explore the possibility of further improvements to the line.
Announcing the new services, Mrs Hart said: "I am very pleased that we have been able to secure the extra train services on these two popular lines.
"I recently commissioned a survey which clearly demonstrated the benefits to commuters, local businesses and university students of an hourly service on the Cambrian line."
The Cambrian Rail Implementation Group was formed by Mrs Hart to look into new services in mid Wales last November.
It included representatives of Network Rail, Arriva Trains Wales and Aberystwyth University.
It followed a report by The Shrewsbury Aberystwyth Railway Liaison Committee which said hourly services could boost employment and tourism.
Its report included 6,570 responses from residents, students and businesses in mid Wales, and also called for more trains on the coast line in the summer months.
The Welsh government announcement was welcomed by Mansel Williams, chair of the Shrewsbury Aberystwyth Railway Liaison Committee and Heart of Wales Line Forum.
He said: "Both the Cambrian and Heart of Wales lines provide a vital service for residents, commuters,...

Article: The top-flight's executive chairman Richard Scudamore has posed this question while defending the division's elite sides' right to buy foreign players.
The 55-year-old was unable to provide a clear answer: "Would they win it, or finish 10th? I don't know."
But Scudamore suggested England could still compete at major tournaments with a side comprised of players from the bottom half of the top-flight and top half of the Championship.
"We get hung up about how players can't possibly be good enough unless they're playing for Chelsea or Manchester United," he said.
"Of course they can be good enough. How are they going to get into the first teams of Chelsea and Manchester City? Widen your horizons.
"Why shouldn't the England team come from the top 12 teams in the Championship and the bottom 10 teams of the Premier League?"

While the English top-flight revels in its stellar reputation and record television deals, the national team are without a major trophy since winning the World Cup in 1966 and have not reached the semi-finals of the competition since 1990, crashing out at the group stage in Brazil last summer without a win to their name.
With only 35% of last season's Premier League players eligible to play for England, there have been calls to impose a quota on foreign players to aid the growth of homegrown talent, with Football Association chairman Greg Dyke particularly vocal.
"I'd love to see a decent sprinkling of English talent in our top clubs," said Scudamore. "But that is a desire and an aspiration.
"My objective is to put on the best possible show and for our clubs to attract the best players.
"If that means they buy some foreign players, well, they've been doing that since the league began and nothing is going to stop that now."

Article: The Duchess of Cambridge's sister took civil court action against a "person or persons unknown" after her account was said to have been hacked.
The Sun reported it was offered the images, which included shots of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act and later bailed.
The allegations emerged after private pictures were said to have been offered to the newspaper via encrypted messaging service WhatsApp.
The Sun said it had been approached by someone using a pseudonym and asking for Â£50,000 within 48 hours.
Barrister Adam Wolanski, who led Miss Middleton's legal team, said she thought there had been a "genuine hack".
He said it was a "flagrant" and "criminal" act which had caused Miss Middleton "considerable distress".
Police said they were investigating the allegations and a 35-year-old man had been released on police bail pending further inquiries. He was arrested at an address in Northamptonshire late on Saturday.
In the summer, Miss Middleton and hedge fund manager James Matthews confirmed their engagement, with a wedding planned for next year.

Summary:


The US has accused Russia of using a chemical weapon in Syria.

A fact-finding mission by chemical weapons watchdog the OPCW has concluded that the banned nerve agent Sarin was used in an attack in northern Syria in April that killed dozens of people.

Article: The group, which calls itself al-Murabitoun, is based in the Sahara desert in northern Mali and contains fighters loyal to the veteran Algerian militant, Mokhtar Belmokhtar.
In November 2015, it said it was behind the hostage-taking at the Radisson Blu hotel in the Malian capital, Bamako.
A statement reported by Mauritania's al-Akhbar news agency said the attack had been carried out jointly with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
Then, in January 2016, a statement issued by AQIM said al-Murabitoun was behind a deadly raid on the Splendid Hotel in the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou.
Belmokhtar, a one-eyed commander who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s, was formerly a senior figure in AQIM. But he left in late 2012 after falling out with its leaders.
Shortly afterwards, in January 2013, he achieved international notoriety for ordering an attack on the In Amenas gas plant in Algeria.
Gunmen under his command took numerous hostages and by the time Algerian forces regained control of the plant three days later, 40 staff (and 29 militants) had been killed.
Later that year he took his men - an unknown number of Touaregs, Arabs and some others by then called the Masked Men Brigade - into a new group called al-Murabitoun.
The statements announcing joint operations with AQIM cannot be verified by the BBC. If true, they suggest there may have been a rapprochement between Belmokhtar and rival militant leaders in the Sahara, home to a myriad different armed groups with shifting allegiances.
Although Belmokhtar had been the one to announce the establishment of al-Murabitoun, it was not immediately clear if he was its leader.
Belmokhtar had called for other jihadists to pick up the reins of leadership - the new group was formed in a merger with another group known as the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao).
That group was led by a Mauritanian ethnic Touareg, Ahmed Ould Amer, who used the nom de guerre Ahmed Telmissi or Tilemsi.
No leader's name was given in al-Murabitoun's...

But delegates from 24 countries, plus the EU, failed to reach a consensus.
Environmental groups called it called it a "dark day" for the Antarctic.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is made up of countries with an interest in Antarctica.
The continent and its waters are home to more than 10,000 species, including most of the world's seabirds, penguins and whales.
CCAMLR includes Australia, the US, China and Russia, and the European Union among its members. Any decisions taken require consensus among all parties.
Plans for a marine reserve in the Ross Sea - a deep bay on the Pacific Ocean side of the Antarctic - have been under discussion for a decade, and have been blocked on several previous occasions, with the main sticking point restrictions on fishing.
According to the environmental advocacy group, Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, the Ross Sea comprises 3.3% of the area of the Southern Ocean, but "it provides habitat for significant populations of many animals, including 38% of the world's Adelie penguins, 26% of Emperor penguins, more than 30% of Antarctic petrels, 6% of Antarctic minke whales, and perhaps more than 30% of 'Ross Sea' killer whales".
"Moreover, it has the richest diversity of fishes in the high latitude Southern Ocean, including seven species found nowhere else."
A revised proposal by the US and New Zealand - reducing the scale of the Ross Sea reserve by 40% to about 1.25m sq km (482,000 sq miles) - had been thought more likely to succeed at the Commission's meeting in Hobart.
Also on the table in Hobart was a proposal to create a protected zone of 1.6m sq km (618,000 sq miles) off East Antarctica.
The two zones were intended to conserve parts of the Southern Ocean from fishing, oil exploration and other commercial exploitation.
But they were both...

Article: The device has arms and legs and is suspended by ropes from a metal frame. Its only other tether is a thick umbilical cable plugged into its back.
After a few final checks, research engineer Gianluca approaches the machine, turns, and puts his feet on its feet and buckles them in. He straps himself in across his chest and puts his arms into its arms.
With a finger he then presses a button, and the machine jolts into life, lights flashing and joints whirring as he cautiously steers his body suit across the floor.
The machine is called the "Body Extender" and has been developed at the Perceptual Robotics Laboratory (Percro), part of the Pisa's Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
It can lift 50kg (7st 12lb) in each extended hand, can exert 10 times the force the user applies to an object, and its makers claim it is the most complex exoskeleton yet built.
"This is the most complex wearable robot that has been ever built in the world," says Percro's Fabio Salsedo who leads the project. "It's a device which is able to track the complex movement of the human body and also to amplify the force of the operator."
The machine has 22 degrees of freedom each actuated with an electric motor, and is made up of modular components, which means the robot can be easily rebuilt to suit the application, says its designer.
"There are several possible applications. For example if you have to assemble a very complex product like an aircraft, this is a machine which is very flexible. You can lift the panel, rotate it and position it in the right position."
"Another application is the rescue of victims in case of an earthquake. You need something very flexible in order to intervene rapidly without damaging the victim."
Meaning "outer skeleton", exoskeletons are common in nature. Grasshoppers, cockroaches, crabs and lobsters have exoskeletons rather than an inner endoskeleton like humans, providing both support to the body and protection against predators. Turtles and tortoises have both an inner skeleton and an exoskeleton shell.

Article: A UN panel will now try to determine if the Syrian government was responsible, as the US has alleged.
The attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province was the most deadly in Syria in more than three years.
It prompted a retaliatory US missile strike against a Syrian air base.
The fact-finding mission for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is based in The Hague, concluded that, after interviewing witnesses and examining samples, "a large number of people, some of whom died, were exposed to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance".
"It is the conclusion of the FFM (fact-finding mission) that such a release can only be determined as the use of Sarin, as a chemical weapon," a summary said.
The new report has been circulated among OPCW members but has not been made public.
A joint UN and OPCW investigation will now investigate who was to blame for the attack.
US President Donald Trump ordered a cruise missile strike on Shayrat air base after US officials concluded that the facility was where a Syrian Air Force jet had been armed with a Sarin-filled bomb.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has previously said that the incident was fabricated.

Article: The region's rural crime team said the end of production of Defenders in January could be one of the reasons why thieves are targeting them.
It said 25 Defenders were stolen "force-wide" last year with a "definite increase" in the past two months.
Farming insurance firm NFU Mutual said it had seen a recent rise in claims.
PC Katie Drabble, from Avon and Somerset police, said: "Since the production [of Defenders] finished in January, we've definitely seen an increase in theft.
"Not just for the parts but for the actual vehicle, because they're stolen to order and then exported out of the country.
"Don't leave the keys in. It sounds ridiculous but people do, especially on farms because different people are using the vehicle - use a key safe."
She added it was "important to highlight" that it was not just farms being targeted, with thefts also happening in the centres of Bath and Bristol.
Tim Price, from NFU Mutual, said the company had "certainly" seen an increase in claims for Defenders.
He said: "NFU Mutual insures three quarters of the farmers in Somerset and many other country people, so we probably cover the majority of the Land Rover Defenders that are on Somerset's roads.
"Like the police, we're working hard to get the message out to people to increase security measures.
"We work very closely with the police and we do feel that, unless people take more precautions, it is going to be a growing crime.
"We want to do everything to keep Somerset's Land Rovers safe."

Article: The North Belfast MP claimed she had been deceptive when answering questions about her powers in respect of a controversial Orange parade ruling.
Mr Dodds had asked what she was going to do about a Parades Commission decision to restrict a 12 July march.
The parade is due to pass a sectarian flashpoint in Ardoyne, north Belfast.
Mr Dodds, who is the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party at Westminster, was ordered to leave the chamber by the Speaker, John Bercow, for using unparliamentary language.
The DUP MP had first asked Ms Villiers about her response to the parade ruling during Northern Ireland Questions (NIQs) earlier on Wednesday.
Dissatisfied with her answer, Mr Dodds later raised the matter in a point of order.
He told the Commons he had asked Ms Villiers what she intended to do about what he called the "outrageous and scandalous decision of the Parades Commission last night in Northern Ireland, which is causing enormous pain and tensions to be rising in north Belfast and across the province and has the potential for severe trouble on our streets."
"In reply to my question, the secretary of state did not address the point of her powers on an application by the chief constable. I have to say Mr Speaker, in my view that was deliberately deceptive and I think that was absolutely outrageous and will not go down well in terms of the people back home.
"The secretary of state has the responsibility to do something about the outrageous decisions of the Parades Commission in Northern Ireland and unless she acts there will be difficulties ahead," Mr Dodds said.
The Speaker repeatedly asked Mr Dodds to withdraw his comments, which he said were unparliamentary.
Mr Bercow told Mr Dodds: "You must withdraw the words 'deliberately deceptive'.
"It is not appropriate to accuse any member of this House of seeking to deliberately deceive or mislead it. Please withdraw the words now."
However, Mr Dodds refused to do so, telling the Speaker that "reluctantly" he could not comply with his demand.
Mr Bercow then ordered...

Article: The group says it has 1.5 terabytes of the company's data and has posted episodes of Ballers and Room 104 online.
It added that more material would be released "soon".
HBO confirmed it had experienced a "cyber incident" in a statement.
In an email published by Entertainment Weekly, the hackers appeared to offer more details in exchange for favourable coverage.
"Hi to all mankind," they wrote. "The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening."
They encouraged recipients to download the material and added: "Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him."
Reports have said the allegedly stolen Game of Thrones script appears to be from the fourth episode of season seven, which is currently being broadcast.
The BBC has not been able to independently verify that the hackers possess the material they claim to have stolen.
HBO confirmed that a "cyber incident" had resulted in the compromise of information.
"We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms," the firm added.
"Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold."
The intrusion was "obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us," said chairman and chief executive Richard Plepler in an email to HBO employees.

The Welsh Government has announced plans to build a new visitor centre and hotel, with a restaurant overlooking the water.

Plans have been unveiled for a glass lift to take tourists to the top of one of Humber Bridge's 510 ft (155m) high towers.

Article: A vial of unmatured malt from the Ardbeg Distillery on Islay was blasted up to the International Space Station in a cargo spacecraft in October 2011, along with particles of charred oak.
Scientists hope to understand how they interact at close-to-zero gravity.
It is expected to land in Kazakhstan aboard a rocket on 12 September.
The vial of Ardbeg has already been orbiting the Earth's atmosphere for 1,045 days.
Ardbeg was invited in late 2011 by Texas-based space research company NanoRacks to take part in the space experiment.
The vial, launched by Soyuz rocket from Baikonur in Kazakhstan in late 2011, contains a class of chemical compounds known as "terpenes".
An identical bottle has been housed at the distillery on Islay to act as a control sample.
The two samples will then be reunited at a laboratory in Houston, Texas, where scientists will compare them to see what differences there are between Earth whisky and space whisky.
Bill Lumsden, Ardbeg's director of distilling and whisky creation, said: "This is one small step for man but one giant leap for whisky.
"The team hope to uncover how flavours develop in different gravitational conditions - findings which could revolutionise the whisky-making process.
"We hope to shine new light on the effect of gravity on the maturation process but who knows where it will lead us? It could be to infinity and beyond."

Summary: Whisky that was fired into space three years ago as part of a scientific experiment is to return to Earth next month.

Article: The Team Ireland star returned home to County Londonderry last week, fresh from success at the World Para-athletics Championships in London.
The visually impaired athlete won two golds in the T13 100m and 200m.
The 30 year old said he is aware that his career has a limited shelf life.
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday News programme, Smyth said he was delighted with his latest performance and still plans to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
"As long as I feel I can kick on and sustain at that level, I will continue to do so, and once I get to Tokyo I'll probably reassess and see where I'm at and where the future is," he said.
The Eglinton para-athlete, however, acknowledged that he is "not getting any younger" and said he had already taken steps for life after his sporting career.
"The hard thing is that people often look at sport and think 'lots of money, flashy lifestyle', and yes, that is the case within certain sports, but a for a lot of sports that's a long way from the reality of the situation," said Smyth.
"I don't think there are a lot of things in place for athletes as they try to transition, because you give 100% to something constantly and so you have to let everything else sit on the backburner."
Far removed from his running career, he revealed that he is interested in finance, and on Monday, he is starting the first of two stints of work experience.
"One is more retail banking, and the other is more in investing and stock-broking, just to get an overview of things to see if I can gain some experience and over the next few years help me transition from sport," said Smyth.
Asked about pursuing a coaching career, he said he had not ruled it out - but added that he would like the opportunity to try something different from the life he has led so far.
"When it comes to things like coaching, there's not really the opportunities, there's no money in it," he said.
Smyth is confident that the qualities which brought him success in his professional sporting career will propel him further in...

Summary: The world's fastest paralympian, Jason Smyth, has revealed he is planning ahead for life after competitive sport, by starting work experience in the financial sector on Monday.

Article: Carwyn Jones said the OECD report "nails the lie that the NHS in Wales is being out-performed by England".
The Welsh Conservatives pointed out the OECD had not looked at waiting times.
Plaid Cymru said the report backed its view that local health boards were "not fit for purpose".
Mr Jones claimed David Cameron and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt had "denigrated" NHS staff in Wales to gain political advantage.
He said the UK government should examine its own record on health in England.
"There is a good reason that junior doctors are not on strike in Wales," he said.
"It is because we value our NHS workforce, and work with them to modernise and bring through change.
"With a growing social care crisis in England, and the continuing doctors' strike, it is time the Tories focused on getting their own house in order.
"We accept that the NHS in Wales has challenges ahead - just like every healthcare system in Europe - and we are up for meeting that challenge.
"That is why we spend more on the NHS and on social care than in England; why access to cancer drugs is faster and why we are investing more than ever in training nurses and other NHS staff."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Labour needed to apologise for longer waiting times in Wales, availability of cancer treatments, and £1bn of budget cuts since 2011.
"Let's be clear - this report is not a comparison study, and it fails to take into consideration one of the most important aspects of the patient experience - waiting times," he said.
"Previous reports by the House of Commons Library, the Wales Audit Office and the Nuffield Trust have showed that spending has been slashed by Labour since 2011 and that waiting times are much longer here in Wales."
Plaid Cymru's health spokeswoman Elin Jones pointed to the OECD's criticism of the local health boards in Wales, and recommendation of "a stronger central guiding hand".
"The health board model that currently exists in Wales is too cumbersome and unwieldy, and Plaid Cymru is proposing a model to create...

Article: The proposed tourist development would also include a visitors' centre and hotel, with a restaurant overlooking the water.
The Humber Bridge Board said it hoped to submit a planning application by the end of the month.
If approved the new centre could be open at the end of 2017.
The proposal would see visitors travelling under the bridge in a glass gondola before changing to a glass lift to ride to a platform on the top of the North tower.
Construction began in July 1972, taking eight years to complete
It is held up by 44,117 miles (71,000km) of steel wire, almost enough to travel twice around the world
The bridge is 7,283 ft (2,220 m) long from shore to shore
It weighs more than 500,000 tonnes
With a central span of 4,626 ft (1,410m), it is the seventh longest suspension bridge in the world
It was officially opened by HM the Queen on 17 July 1981

Bridge Master Peter Hill said the scheme was about "making the best of what we've got".
"People have for years had wanted to get more access to their bridge, so we're going to make it happen, " he said.
Mr Hill said the project would be financed by the bridge board but "would not be funded from bridge tolls".
A public exhibition of the proposals has gone on display at the bridge.

His Â£5 coin features a full-colour wreath surrounded by the inscription: Their name liveth for evermore.
He is the fourth designer to be chosen to produce a Remembrance Day coin.
What is Remembrance Day?
The coin will be struck at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Thomas, who has worked at the Royal Mint for 11 years, said: "This wreath is not only personal to us at The Royal Mint but also reflects the 'everyman' we all commemorate on Remembrance Day; from the wreath-layers to the poppy wearers all over the country.
"I wanted to paint the colours of the poppies boldly and vibrantly, hopefully emphasising that the poppy is a symbol of remembrance, but also one of hope for the future."

Article: Dave Sykes, from Dewsbury, has landed at Truscott on Australia's north west coast 103 days after leaving Yorkshire.
Mr Sykes, who broke his back in a motorbike accident in 1993, is thought to be the first paraplegic to fly from England to Australia in a microlight.
Mr Sykes, 43, used the 12,000 mile journey to help raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Speaking to ABC News in Darwin, Mr Sykes said it had not been an easy journey.
"It's been really difficult at times with the bad weather, permissions holding me up and things going wrong with the aircraft," he said.
In November 1993, a motorbike accident left Mr Sykes with a broken back, clavicle and thigh bone, together with broken ribs and punctured lungs.
However, he was released from hospital in May 1994 after doctors had said he would remain there for at least two years.
Mr Sykes took up microlighting in 2000 and gained his pilot's licence in 2001.
He said: "I started flying 10 years ago and saw a video of a guy who flew around the world.
"I've always wanted to do something similar so I decided on Australia because I couldn't afford to fly around the world."
Mr Sykes now plans to fly to Sydney in his microlight.

Article: Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) expert Matthew Oliver grew the gourd from a seed which cost Â£1,250 and came from the current world record holder.
His pumpkin's weight was confirmed as 95st (605kg) at the weekend.
"Unfortunately giant pumpkins are not known for their culinary properties," a spokeswoman for the RHS said. "So we will be making this one into a boat."
Horticulturalist Mr Oliver, from Essex, said he was "over the moon" at the weekend when his fruit's credentials were confirmed at the Autumn Pumpkin Festival in Southampton.
The spokeswoman for the RHS said the pumpkin would be on display at Hyde Hall, near South Woodham Ferrers, where Mr Oliver works, between 22 and 30 October before its floating credentials were tested.
"We will cut a lid off, hollow it out, pop an external motor on it and send Matthew Oliver into the middle of the lake at the RHS Garden Hyde Hall," she said.
The parent pumpkin was grown in Switzerland in 2014 by Beni Meier, who still holds the world record for the heaviest gourd, at 166st (1,054kg).
Mr Oliver's pumpkin seed, which was bought by Ipswich-based seed company Thompson and Morgan, was planted in mid April. He said it took six days to germinate before becoming a "vigorous grower".

Summary: A giant pumpkin which set a new record for the UK's heaviest to be grown outdoors is to be turned into a boat.

Article: Crispr-Cas9 replaces harmful DNA with new code that kills cancerous cells while leaving healthy ones unharmed.
Mice with the reprogrammed code developed tumours that were much smaller than cancers in mice that did not get this treatment.
Experts call the study, in Nature Methods, promising but say it is unclear yet whether the technique would work in humans.
Dr Weiren Huang, from the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University, in China, and colleagues used Crispr-Cas9 to reprogram a cell-signalling pathway that would normally feed tumour growth in mice.
How gene editing works
Gene editing: A game-changer
Crispr-Cas9 is a DNA cutting and pasting system scientists have borrowed from nature.
Bacteria use it to protect themselves against foreign DNA from viruses.
Scientists have already begun using it in the lab to target and cut out faulty DNA in human cells that cause illnesses.
But it is not without risks.
While effective, the editing process is less than perfect and can cut out too much DNA.
These unwanted or "off-target" edits could alter other important genes, inadvertently triggering cancer, for example.
Dr Chris Lord, a gene expert at the Institute of Cancer Research, said: ""The key to translating this technique into the clinic will be to see how specific to the tumour cell the Crispr activation will be and how specific, in terms of genes, the Crispr-mediated gene cutting will be.
"These are essentially the same two issues you have with all cancer treatments - how specific for the tumour cell and how specific for the target."

The UK's leading visitor attraction is the most popular in the UK, according to new research.

There has been a dramatic rise in the number of technology patents filed that relate to reading brainwaves.

Article: The institution spent £168,747.16 on Prof John Hughes' house between 2010 and 2015.
The NUS said it was wrong that, "those who get paid the most money also get the greatest perks".
The university said it owned the building, and that it was a, "normal arrangement".
Freedom of information (FOI) figures reveal that the institution spent almost £130,000 refurbishing the house.
Payments for new furniture include £2,080 for a Laura Ashley bedframe and mattress, £1,289 for Laura Ashley curtains, as well as £1,499 for a sideboard.
Prof Hughes' broadband and telephone bills are also covered.
The university bought the residence for £475,000 in 2010 when Prof Hughes took up his position.
Fflur Elin, Bangor NUS president, said: "Is it right that people who get paid the most also get the most perks?
"Nobody has done anything illegal. But we should be moving to a system where this doesn't happen.
A Bangor University spokesman said a June 2011 independent report valued the property at £750,000 at that time.
They added: "The university has invested in a house for the vice-chancellor which is also used for events and meetings with the vice-chancellor.
"This is a normal arrangement for universities and the university own the house.
"It's important to note that the house is a university asset like many other buildings and can be sold at any point in the future, should the university wish to do so.
"During the same period, the university has also invested over £100 million in facilities for students at Bangor."

Article: In the past 542 million years, the average size of a marine animals has gone up by a factor of 150.
New research suggests bulkier animals generally fare better at sea.
Today's tiniest sea creature - with a body covered in a hard shall - is less than 10 times smaller than those from hundreds of millions of years ago, when measured in terms of volume.
At the other end of the scale, the mighty blue whale is more than 100,000 times the size of the largest animal 542 million years ago.
This was a crustacean with a clam-like, hinged shell.
The idea that natural selection could make animals gradually gain weight over millions of years isn't new.
The American fossil specialist Edward Drinker Cope - who was a 19th-Century palaeontologist - who examined fossils, found that the ancient ancestors of modern mammals were often smaller.
For example horses, can be traced a dog-sized animal from 50 million years ago.
But this pattern isn't the same across the whole animal kingdom.
Most groups of dinosaurs got bigger until they died out - but the birds that evolved from them, grew smaller and lighter because they needed to fly quicker.
Dr Noel Heim, from Stanford University in California, wanted to test Cope's findings in the vast realm of the ocean.
For five years he got dozens of workmates, students and even high school pupils, to look through all the scientific record for body size data.
They also measured hundreds of illustrations from old books about fossils.
Eventually they put together information on more than 17,000 groups of species, called genera. That's over 60% of all the animal genera ever to have lived.
This information showed animals were getting bigger and bigger over time.
The team also wanted to work out whether their massive size was driven by evolution, or was simply a matter of chance.
They put their size data from the oldest animals into a computer model where each species could die out, stay the same, get bigger or smaller.
The results that best matched the real fossil history was one where animals were...

Article: The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) said it saw a 7.2% increase across all its UK sites last year but Scotland went up 15.6%.
The 10 most popular sites in the UK were all in London.
The National Museum of Scotland, which opened 10 new galleries in 2016, was the most-visited attraction in Scotland, with 1.8 million visitors.
It was the most popular museum outside London and 15th on the UK visitor attraction list, one place above Edinburgh Castle.
The castle was the most-visited paid-for attraction in Scotland, with 1,778,548 visitors, up 13%.
The Scottish National Gallery was at 18 on the UK-wide list.
Glasgow attractions the Kelvingrove Museum and the Riverside Museum were at 24 and 25 on the ALVA list.
The first visitor attraction outside Glasgow and Edinburgh was Stirling Castle at 68, with 481,970 visitors.
Bernard Donoghue, director of ALVA, said: "Like the 2015 figures, Scotland has continued to outperform the rest of the UK with a substantial increase in their visitor numbers.
"2016 was a great year for Scottish Tourism - proving that Scotland is reaping the benefits of significant capital investment in attractions and creative programming by its institutions."
Scottish government Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "As these figures illustrate, this has been a record year for Scotland's leading visitor attractions.
"Our wide range of attractions and excellent heritage and museum collections continue to provide high-quality and exciting experiences, both to people who live here, and to our visitors.
"The success of our leading visitor attractions will continue to play a vital role in making Scotland a destination of first choice for visitors from the UK and across the world."

Article: Fewer than 400 so-called neuro-technology patents a year had been filed in 2000-09, research company SharpBrains said. But that had doubled to 800 in 2010. And 1,600 such patents had been lodged in the US in 2014.
Research company Nielsen holds the most neuro-technology patents - with 100.
Microsoft holds 89 patents for software that can assess mental states.
The expansion into non-medical uses represented a dawn of the "pervasive neuro-technology age", said SharpBrains chief executive Alvaro Fernandez.
"Neuro-tech has gone well beyond medicine, with non-medical corporations, often under the radar, developing neuro-technologies to enhance work and life," he added.
There has been a rise in the number of companies such as Thync, a start-up working to connect to the brain sensors that can alter mood in the same way as a coffee or energy drink.
And there are moves afoot to come up with ways of controlling video games via brainwaves - such as a collaboration between EEG headset-maker Emotiv and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
There are also plenty of so-called neuro-marketing companies using with Electroencephalography (EEG) - a way of recording the electrical activity of the brain by placing sensors on the scalp - to try to find out what someone thinks about a new product or advert.
Matt Wall, of the Centre for Imaging Science, at Hammersmith Hospital, said: "There probably are some decent companies doing work in that space, but there are a massive number of neuro-marketing companies that have sprung up in the last few years.
"Because of the wide availability and low-cost of the EEG hardware these days, they all seek to define their [unique selling point] and intellectual property (ie patents) based on their fancy analysis techniques and claim to measure things like 'engagement' or 'interest' from EEG signals.
"Any EEG researcher knows this is absolute rubbish, but they do succeed in producing fancy sciencey-looking graphs and results that appear convincing enough for the marketing...

A town centre footfall study in the Borders has recorded a 6% rise across eight main towns in the region in 2015 compared with the previous year.

Article: Anthony Osmond, 52, of Velindre, Carmarthenshire, admitted unlawfully wounding Gareth Jones after he started dating his daughter Oasis, 20.
Swansea Crown Court heard Mr Jones, 29, needed surgery in September 2015 to repair a cut to his heart.
Osmond fled but was caught by police.
Helen Randall, prosecuting, told the court the couple kept their relationship secret at first because Osmond was "overprotective and obsessed with Oasis".
When they eventually met, Osmond and Mr Jones got into a fight at the Nags Head pub in Pembrokeshire, and Osmond stabbed him with a 15cm-long (6in) kitchen knife.
Osmond made off in his car and police later stopped him as he approached the Second Severn Crossing in Monmouthshire.
During police interviews, Osmond told officers he did not think Mr Jones was "appropriate" for Oasis.
Janet Gedrych, defending, said Osmond had not picked up the knife deliberately and was "devastated at how close he came to killing that young man".

Article: John Akomfrah was chosen for his "substantial body of outstanding work" over a number of years, including his latest video installation Auto Da Fé.
The international prize was awarded in Cardiff, where an exhibition of the six shortlisted artists is being held.
London-based Akomfrah said he was "absolutely touched" by the award.
The Ghanaian-born filmmaker is founder of the Black Audio Film Collective, whose work has involved use of archive film, newsreel and still photos.
The winning video installation, which lasts 40 minutes over two screens at National Museum Wales, was inspired while he was teaching in Barbados in 2009.
Akomfrah, 59, saw a cemetery containing 17th Century graves of Sephardic Jewish refugees who had fled Brazil.
"I was asking 'how did they get here?'" he said.
Themes of migration and global politics dominated the shortlist for the seventh biannual prize.
Welsh artist Bedwyr Williams, whose giant video installation imagined a futuristic city built on the slopes of Cadair Idris, won The Derek Williams Trust Purchase Award.
Williams' entry, Tyrrau Mawr, will now be added to National Museum Wales' permanent collection.
Karen Mackinnon, Artes Mundi director said: "The judges felt that all the shortlisted artists showed outstanding work.
"However the prize is awarded not just for the work in the exhibition but for the continued excellence of their practice over the past eight years.
"The Artes Mundi 7 Prize was awarded for Akomfrah's presentation of Auto Da Fé and for a substantial body of outstanding work dealing with issues of migration, racism and religious persecution. To speak of these things in this particular moment feels more important than ever."
The filmmaker came to prominence in the mid 1980s for his award-winning documentary for Channel Four, Handsworth Songs, made in the aftermath of riots in that district of Birmingham.
As well as films examining black British identity and the migrant experience in the UK, Akomfrah has directed documentaries on Louis Armstrong and Martin Luther...

Article: Orion is Nasa's next-generation astronaut vehicle, which will take humans to Mars and other destinations.
The American aerospace giant Lockheed Martin is developing the front section, which includes the crew capsule.
The structural test article, despatched by Airbus, will be used to check the overall design is on track.
It is the first time the US has gone outside its territory for a key component of an astronaut transportation system.
Engineers are working towards an unmanned demonstration flight in 2018, and a first crewed outing no later than April 2023.
The European Space Agency's contribution - being primed industrially by Airbus - is what is called the "service module".
This is the element that pushes Orion through space after coming off the top of the launch rocket.
It also provides the electrical power, and holds the air and water needed by the crew in their protective capsule.
The structural test article is an exact replica of the eventual module - but without the final functionality.
It has gone from Airbus's subcontractor on the project, Thales Alenia Apace in Italy, to Nasa's Plum Brook Station in Ohio where it will be evaluated.
The module's mass and interfaces with the American element will need to be checked.
The article will also be loaded and stressed to ensure it can handle the intense vibrations of launch.
Any lessons learned will then be fed back into the fully functional flight hardware being made ready for 2018.
That mission will see the debut of Nasa's new "monster rocket" - the Space Launch System.
It will send the complete Orion system on a trip around the Moon.
The capsule itself has already had one demonstration trip into space - in December 2014, again with no-one onboard.
On that occasion, the service module was a dummy used just to replicate the size and shape of the real element.
Europe's design for the future service module borrows heavily from the unmanned cargo truck it used to re-supply the space station.
At one time, Europe thought of adapting this vessel into a human...

Summary: The test model for what will become the European-built "back end" of America's Orion spaceship has been despatched to the US.

Article: Kelso, Galashiels, Peebles, Hawick, Selkirk and Eyemouth saw increases but numbers fell in Duns and Jedburgh.
Figures in Melrose also rose sharply compared with 2014 but exceptionally low levels were recorded that year due to "atrocious weather".
Councillor Stuart Bell said it was "pleasing" to see numbers rising.
A survey has been carried out across the region since 2007.
The latest figures were collected during September and October 2015 with the rise in the region higher than the Scottish average of 2%.
Last year numbers fell by 11% but this was largely blamed on the very low levels recorded in Melrose.
Mr Bell said: "These figures are only ever going to give us a snapshot of a short period of time and can fluctuate depending on weather, however it is pleasing to see that overall average footfall has increased and the figures for several towns are particularly encouraging.
"We need to build on these increases in footfall and the council, partner and community organisations and businesses can all play their part in that, making our town centres as attractive as possible to local shoppers and visitors to the Borders.
"This study started in 2007 and has in effect charted the impact of the recession and increase in internet shopping on our town centres, which largely accounts for the 23% reduction in footfall over that period."
He said the issues were not unique to the Borders and would remain challenges in the longer term.

Summary:


The Scottish Government has announced a £1.5bn investment in the Scottish economy.

A woman who added Skywalker as a middle name has had her passport cancelled after being told her application was "frivolous".

Article: Estate agents Your Move found the average house price rose 1.7% to a new record high of £169,742.
Prices rose 6% over the year - the strongest increase since August 2010.
Your Move said the rise was driven by high-end buyers trying to complete purchases under stamp duty rates.
Stamp duty was replaced by the new Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) in April.
The Your Move/Acadata house price index for February found the Shetland Islands had the highest yearly rise in Scotland, with a 26.9% increase.
Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh City, Aberdeen City, East Lothian and Angus also experienced peak prices in February.
Edinburgh topped the table with an average house price of £248,791, the report found.
Fifteen properties priced at £1m or more were sold in Scotland in February, compared to six the previous month.
They included one on the outskirts of Edinburgh which sold for just under £3.7m, the most expensive house to be purchased in Scotland since July 2011.
Your Move regional managing director Christine Campbell said: "Tactical tax considerations have helped foster price growth in the Scottish housing market and are likely to play a significant role in the months to come too.
"Now that the LBTT has come into force, we expect to see a temporary drop-off in the number of properties sold above £750,000, now liable for the top rate of tax - similar to the impact we're currently seeing in London among £2m properties - in light of December's stamp duty changes.
"Typically in the housing market cycle, we would expect home sales to ease back in February, in the aftermath of the costly Christmas period."

Summary: Scottish property prices in February rose at their fastest rate since the 2007 housing boom as high-end buyers completed purchases to avoid new tax rates, according to a report.

Article: The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) shut its operations control room in Inverness last month.
Emergency calls for the Highlands and Islands are now handled by staff based in Dundee.
Highland Council, which opposed the closure of the Inverness site, said local knowledge has been lost.
The Scottish government said fire service operations drew on the professional experience of control staff supported by sophisticated systems and technology and the knowledge of locally-based crews.
According to Alec Kidd, a former fire service area commander, there have been instances of fire crews being called out to emergencies closer to other stations following the closure of control rooms in Inverness and Aberdeen.
These have included a crew from Lairg in Sutherland being initially called out to attend an incident about 100 miles away on the Isle of Skye.
Also, on Shetland, an emergency team on the island of Bressay was asked to deal with an incident on the isle of Yell - despite five different teams being nearer.
A spokesman for the fire service said they were convinced the correct resources had been sent to the incidents involved but were rectifying some procedural issues.
Matthew Reiss, a Highland councillor for Landward Caithness and a former area police commander, said place names in the Highlands and Islands could cause problems for "well-intentioned" but centrally-based control room staff.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "It is simply not possible for them to distinguish between, for example, Tain in Caithness and Tain in Easter Ross, unless you have a knowledge of these places.
"You can have all the technology in the world, but nothing substitutes for local knowledge."

Article: Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said Better Together agents had been "taking tallies" of postal votes at sample openings held in the weeks before the count.
Election rules state the results of these openings must be kept secret.
Police Scotland said it was assessing whether a crime had been committed.
It is understood a number of complaints were made to the Electoral Commission.
The commission does not have the power to investigate criminal allegations, and has made police aware of the concerns.
The allegations surround comments made to BBC Scotland by Ms Davidson about 45 minutes after polls closed in last Thursday's Scottish independence referendum.
Ms Davidson told the Scotland Decides programme: "We have had people at every sample opening around the country over the last few weeks... and we have been incredibly encouraged by the results from that.
"Going into today, going by the postal votes that were cast, our side would have had a lead and I think that we have a confidence, I hope a quiet confidence, that the quiet majority of Scots have spoken today."
She said postal votes were not counted until after the polls closed, but added: "Different local authorities have had openings around the country. It is illegal to discuss that while any ballot is ongoing, so until ten o'clock tonight no one could talk about it.
"But there is people in the room that have been sampling those ballot boxes as they have been opened and they have been taking tallies and the reports have been very positive for us."
The Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013 states that those attending the sample openings must not "attempt to ascertain at the proceedings in connection with the receipt of the ballot papers the outcome for which any vote is given in any particular ballot paper or communicate any information with respect thereto obtained at those proceedings".
Anyone convicted of breaching the law can be jailed for up to a year, and/or receive a fine of up to Â£5,000.

Summary: Police have been asked to examine claims that pro-UK campaigners breached electoral law by counting some postal votes ahead of referendum polling day.

Article: Laura Matthews, 29, was told her signature - "L. Skywalker" - infringed a trademark in July this year.
She was issued with the document several weeks later, after threatening to take legal action.
But she has now been told the passport was issued in error and has been cancelled.
Ms Matthews told the BBC the decision has left her feeling "upset, frustrated and disappointed".
A Home Office spokesman said: "Protecting the integrity of the UK passport is vital and we do not accept a change of name for frivolous reasons."
In a letter to Ms Matthews, the Passport Office said its "published guidance provides that we will refuse to recognise a change of name... if it is made for a bet or frivolous purpose.
"Additionally, in your case, the signature used in the passport is different to your surname and by your own admission was done for 'a laugh'".
"Regrettably, an error was made in issuing your passport," the letter said.
"I am sorry that the error was made but I have to inform you that your passport will be cancelled."
Ms Matthews, from Southend in Essex, added the middle name using a deed poll in 2008 "for a bit of fun".
She had not renewed her passport since adding the moniker, and experienced several weeks of delays when she tried to do so in April.
She was told the delays were because her signature "infringed a trademark".
Her passport was issued at the end of August after she contacted a law firm specialising in intellectual property law and said she would take legal action unless her application was approved.
Ms Matthews said this was the fourth time the Passport Office had changed its mind about her case.
"Now I'm not sure if it's my signature they have a problem with, or my middle name," she said.
"All I know it's extremely disappointing that I've been let down again by an organisation which doesn't seem to know if it's coming or going.
"I don't think I'm going to be able to fight it. I don't know what else I can do."
The Home Office spokesman added: "We have apologised to the applicant and agreed to meet...

Summary:


A new report by the Scottish Environment Agency (SEA) has found that the Scottish Government's decision to cut the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from the UK's energy mix has led to a rise in the number of people who are now using coal-fired power.
The report, published in the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday

People have been warned not to eat shellfish in parts of Argyll and Bute after raised levels of toxins were found.

Article: Leonard Riggio, the company's founder and largest shareholder, said he sold 3.7 million shares on Thursday at $17.30 each.
Investors followed suit and the company's shares fell by 12.5% to close at $16.26 per share on the US markets.
Mr Riggio said he does not plan to sell more shares this year. In December 2013, he sold 2 million shares.
Even with the latest offload, Leonard Riggio remains the largest shareholder at Barnes & Noble.
In a statement, he said the latest sale "is part of his long-term financial and estate planning."
Barnes & Noble operates about 700 stores across 50 states in the US.
As with other brick-and-mortar booksellers, the company has been struggling with competition from online rivals and e-book sellers such as Amazon.
The Borders Group was at one time the second-largest bookstore chain in the US. It too struggled with competition from customers who switched to placing orders for print books online, instead of browsing at the stores.
Borders filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2011, burdened by too much debt.

Summary: Barnes & Noble's chairman has trimmed his stake in the bookstore to 20%, by selling shares worth $64m (Â£38m).

Article: Reading Buses' "Bus Hound" was recorded doing a lap speed of 76.785mph (123.57km/h) at Bedford's Millbrook Proving Ground.
It runs on biomethane compressed natural gas and is painted black and white like a Friesian cow. It normally carries passengers around Reading.
The UK Timing Association confirmed the new record.
Trevor Duckworth, the association's chief timekeeper, said this was the first time a bus had been on Millbrook Proving Ground and described it as "quite a sight".
The bus is normally speed limited to 56mph (90km/h).
Martijn Gilbert, chief executive of Reading Buses, said it would not be recognised as a Guinness World Record unless it reached speeds above 150mph (241km/h).
Chief engineer John Bickerton said the company wanted the "world's first service bus speed record" to bring to light the viability, power and credibility of buses fuelled by cow poo.
"We've laid down a challenge for other bus operators to best our record and we had to make it a bit hard for them.
"Most importantly we wanted to get the image of bus transport away from being dirty, smelly, and slow. We're modern, fast, and at the cutting edge of innovation.
"It was an impressive sight as it swept by on the track. It sounded like a Vulcan bomber - the aerodynamics aren't designed for going 80mph."
Its fuel is made from animal waste which is broken down in a process called anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, which is then liquefied, Mr Gilbert said.
It is stored in seven tanks fixed inside the roof of the bus.
The vehicle's name was inspired by the British Bloodhound super-sonic car which aims to go beyond 1,000mph in 2016.

Summary: A bus powered by cow manure has set a land speed record for a regular bus by driving at 77mph.

Article: The ERS said the first-past-the-post system to elect MPs takes no account of how big their majorities are or how many voted for losing candidates.
The society said this meant they were "wasted" votes and the system was "fundamentally broken".
The UK government said it had no plans to change the voting system.
The Electoral Reform Society (ERS) estimated 1,063,610 votes out of the total of 1,575,814 cast in Wales at the 2017 general election on 8 June were "wasted".
Campaigners said the votes were made up of 746,269 votes for losing candidates and 317,341 votes in excess of the number needed to elect the winning candidates.
It noted that Labour won 70% of seats with under half the vote, while the Tories gained vote share but lost seats.
With big Labour majorities at Aberavon, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, Cynon Valley and Cardiff Central, campaigners claimed more than 80% of votes in those seats had no impact.
The society also claimed nearly a quarter of Welsh voters had been forced to vote tactically on the grounds their preferred party or candidate had no chance of winning the local seat.
ERS Cymru director Jess Blair called for a new electoral system which more closely reflected the proportion of votes cast for each party.
"This report reveals a picture of a voting system which is fundamentally broken," she said.
"There are a wide range of systems where votes are not thrown on the electoral scrapheap.
"We need to move towards a means of electing our MPs where people's voices are properly heard and where people don't feel forced to hold their nose at the ballot box."
A spokeswoman for the Cabinet Office, who set electoral rules, said: "First Past The Post is a voting system that offers a robust method of electing MPs.
"A referendum on changing the voting system for General Elections was held in 2011 and the public voted overwhelmingly in favour of keeping the First Past the Post system."

Summary: More than a million votes - two-thirds of the total - had "no impact" on the general election result in Wales, the Electoral Reform Society has claimed.

Article: Routine monitoring by Argyll and Bute Council discovered raised levels of algal toxins in Loch Melfort and Seil Sound.
The naturally-occurring toxins were above the "legally-permitted levels for harvest".
Members of the public have been asked not to gather them.
The toxins accumulate in molluscs such as mussels, oysters, cockles and razor clams, and when levels breach statutory limits, harvesting of affected species is prohibited.
Elsewhere, raised levels of Escheria coli (E.coli) bacteria have been identified in Oitir Mhor Bay.
It follows the discovery of raised levels at Kerrera West, Loch Craignish, Kilfinichen Bay and Castle Stalker.
They were discovered by the council's environmental health team as part of their work to maintain the quality of shellfish.
Potential raised levels of E.coli were also found at Dunstaffnage, Kerrera East, Loch na Cille and Loch Riddon.
A council spokesman said: "Eating shellfish such as cockles, mussels, oysters and razor fish from affected areas can pose a risk to human health.
"Notices to warn the public and casual gatherers have been posted along the shore. Commercial shellfish harvesters in these areas have been contacted by the council and steps taken to postpone harvesting until bacterial levels subside.
"People are advised to avoid eating shellfish from these areas until further notice as a precaution. When levels subside, the warning notices will be removed."

A jury has heard how a "vulnerable" man died after a "sustained attack" with knives and scissors in his own home.

Article: Visitors will now be able to travel on a Pole-to-Pole journey that features flightless birds of Australasia as well as the scenery of the Arctic.
Work on the gallery began in 2015, with the first phase completed in April this year.
It was closed again at the beginning of October and reopened on Saturday.
Situated in the museum's West Court, the Life Gallery is home to Sir Roger the Asian elephant and the ever-popular Spitfire.
The work was completed after a public consultation found that visitors wanted to know where in the world the animals on display had come from and how they had lived.
The new displays will group animals, plants and some geological and world culture objects from the same areas of the world into distinct eco-zones.
Archie Graham, chairman of Glasgow Life and depute leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "The completion of phase two of the redisplay of the Life gallery at Kelvingrove Art Gallery will allow visitors to fully experience this new vision for the West Court of the building and these items from Glasgow's collection.
"The process, which started with the lowering and re-installation of the spitfire, is a reminder of how much flexibility the refurbishment of Kelvingrove allows.
"The gallery tells new stories and includes objects our research told us people wanted to see on display and which you can enjoy over the festive period and for years to come."
Situated on Argyle Street in Glasgow, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is among Scotland's most popular attractions, with more than 1.2 million visitors in 2015.

Summary: The popular Life Gallery at Kelvingrove Museum has reopened to the public after a two-year project to redesign and update it.

Article: David Clarke, who had learning difficulties, was beaten to death in his flat at Forthriver Road in the north of the city on 6 June 2001.
At the time, police said it was one of the most savage and brutal killings they had ever dealt with.
The arrested man, who is 34, was bailed pending further inquiries.
He had been detained in north Belfast on Monday morning.
The day before, police announced that they had re-opened the murder investigation after detectives received new information.
They also revealed that the victim had been bullied in the weeks leading up to his murder.
Mr Clarke's body was found in his flat by friends who were concerned for him.
Former Assistant Chief Constable Allan McQuillan was involved in the original 2001 inquiry.
He said Mr Clarke's killing was not Troubles-related and was "quite simply that he had some issue with someone and they murdered him".
Mr McQuillan described the 26-year-old's death as a "mystery" and was "one of the cases you really wanted to solve and we weren't able to do it".
Det Ch Insp Alan Dickson described Mr Clarke as an "inoffensive and vulnerable" man who died after an "increasingly frenzied" assault.

Summary: A man who was arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a 26-year-old man in Belfast 14 years ago has been released on bail.

Article: The toys were stolen from the 1st Sensory Legion Charity, which was storing them in a Peterborough garage.
They were to be used to raise funds for its Feel the Force Day event, an annual sensory sci-fi convention for people with disabilities.
The items were worth about Â£1,000.
The Feel the Force Day event started in Peterborough in 2013 with 20 deafblind adults who wanted to learn about Star Wars.
More news from Cambridgeshire
The charity which runs it now holds three events each year, attracting 32,000 people from across the UK.
However, plans have hit a setback after the break-in at the garage in Westwood between 7 and 11 August, where the toys were being temporarily stored.
"Thieves not only made off with all the items we had planned on using for fundraising to help cover the costs of the next event, but also took various items we were looking to add to our sensory touch tables," co-founder Simon Howard said.
The six inflatable radio-controlled Darth Vaders were worth about Â£50 each, and other items taken include "beanie" toys, Doctor Who and Hot Wheels toys, an interactive DeLorean Back to the Future car and a "pair of googley eyes in a white and green box".
But they did leave a 5ft-tall Dalek behind.
"The stolen items may not have a high financial value, but they are of enormous value to this organisation in supporting people," Mr Howard added.
Feel the Force Day uses toys and props, tactile costumes and smell jars to help include those with disabilities, additional needs and sensory impairments in film and TV culture.
Cambridgeshire Police has confirmed it is investigating the theft.

Summary: Six inflatable Darth Vaders, a Star Trek Klingon gun and Doctor Who sonic screwdrivers are among items stolen from a charity ahead of a special event for people with disabilities.

Article: The partially-dismembered body of David Miller, 56, was found at his flat in Patterdale Walk in Boothville, Northampton, on 14 June 2016.
He had been stabbed multiple times and "crude attempts" were made to destroy his body, a court heard.
Ian Cuthbertson, 49, Michael Hallett, 37, Joseph Catlin, 30, and Zena Kane, 35, of no fixed address, deny murder.
At the start of their trial, Northampton Crown Court heard police officers had forced entry into the flat and found Mr Miller's remains in the bedroom.
Several items were found at the property including knives, scissors and a rolling pin which had been used as weapons during the attack on 10 June, and an angle grinder which had been borrowed to try and destroy the body.
A post-mortem examination found he had substantial facial injuries and had been stabbed fifteen times in the back and in the chest.
Peter Joyce QC, prosecuting, said that Mr Catlin had been living with Mr Miller in the two months before his death and that the pair had known each other for years.
The court heard that Mr Miller was "well known and well liked" in the area but had long-standing issues with drink.
Mr Joyce said the four defendants were part of the "Northampton street drinking fraternity".
"They lived chaotic lives with long periods of homelessness and regularly used Mr Miller's flat as a place to drink, " he said.
"These four defendants all took part in the murder of a vulnerable man in his own home and then spent days trying to cover up what they had done," he added.
The trial, expected to last for four weeks, continues.

A sex attack on woman near a university campus could be linked to two other attempted assaults, investigators have said.

Article: Sara Rowbotham, who was played by Maxine Peak in the BBC drama Three Girls, collected evidence that helped convict nine abusers in Rochdale.
She was made redundant in 2014, two years after the men were jailed.
The online petition says Ms Rowbotham and her team should be "applauded" for their services to the town.
Three Girls tells to story of how girls as young as 13 were being abused by a group of Asian men, but police initially failed to pursue prosecutions.
Greater Manchester Police later apologised and admitted there had been a "complete lack of understanding" of child exploitation in Rochdale and a failure to recognise the "scale of abuse".
Ms Rowbotham, who now works as a councillor on Rochdale Borough Council, said it had been a "frustrating" and "incredibly difficult" time.
"I spent a lot of time thinking it didn't really make very much sense," she said.
A statement on the petition said: "Sara and her team should be applauded by not only Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, but the government and Crown for her services for young people.
"Sara and her team should be the highest advocates for future national guidance surrounding the grooming of children."

Summary: More than 100,000 people have signed a petition demanding a sexual health worker who exposed a child grooming ring is recognised for her actions.

Article: The All England Lawn Tennis Club has warned the sticks - which help with taking self-portrait photos - will not be allowed into this year's event.
The ticketholders' guide said: "In common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, the championships will not allow selfie sticks into the grounds."
The devices have already been banned at some museums and sports grounds.
A spokesman for the club told the Sunday Times the move was brought in partly because of the "nuisance value" but "primarily so it doesn't interfere with spectators' enjoyment".
A selfie stick allows its user a longer reach when using a smartphone or camera to take a "selfie" - a self-portrait photo.
Last month the National Gallery, in Trafalgar Square, placed the devices in the same category as tripods, which were already prohibited.
The Palace of Versailles in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome and US museum group, The Smithsonian, have also banned selfie sticks.
And after a complaint from a fan, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club prohibited the sticks from their White Hart Lane ground.

Summary: Selfie sticks have been banned from the Wimbledon tennis championship.

Article: However, Chibok campaigners say that while the girl in question was a pupil at the school, she was actually kidnapped from her home elsewhere.
This comes days after the first of the Chibok girls was freed.
The Islamist militant group has seized thousands of women and girls in northern Nigeria, rights groups say.
But it was the abduction of the girls from Chibok that gained international attention through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which was supported by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.
The army has made several mistakes in its statements about the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after the first girl was found on Wednesday, it used the wrong name.
It has claimed to have freed more than 100 of them before later backtracking.
In all, 218 girls remain missing since they were seized from Chibok secondary school in Borno state, north-eastern Nigeria, in April 2014.
The girl rescued earlier this week told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died but the rest were still in the Sambisa forest where she was found.
It would have been ideal for the Nigerian army to rescue two of the Chibok girls in three days - only it did not happen, despite the speed and enthusiasm with which the press statements were sent out.
The military has been trying to win over the public following heavy criticism it has received for its inability to bring back the schoolgirls. Such has been its focus that it has not capitalised on the work of its troops in rescuing thousands of Boko Haram captives.
In fact, army records show it freed 11,595 people between February and April this year. That has barely been publicised - although the abductions of those people also did not make headlines, unlike the schoolgirls whose disappearance raised concern around the world.
As important as the Chibok girls are, it appears their fate is being used as a measure of success in the fight against Boko Haram.
In a statement, army spokesman Col Sani Usman said the 97 women and girls had...

Article: A woman in her 20s was pushed to the ground and assaulted by a man on a bike on Boundary Road near Bournemouth University's Talbot campus on Thursday.
Dorset Police said they believe it could be linked to two attempted sexual assaults on women in September.
Thursday's attacker is described as white and in his late 20s or early 30s.
Officers said he was approximately 5ft 7in (1.7m), of slight to medium build with short dark hair and wearing a black thigh-length coat and dark trousers.
The victim was walking down a footpath at about 21:40 GMT when the cyclist approached and then assaulted her.
The attacker was riding a dark-coloured mountain bike with silver handle bars and rode off towards Columbia Road after the assault.
Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire said it could be linked to the attempted assaults of women on 13 and 14 September at Boundary Road and Slades Farm.
She is appealing for witnesses.
