Members of an alleged nationwide prostitution ring which forced trafficked women to work in brothels have been charged, said police.

Article: West Yorkshire Police referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) following claims made by fire survivor Martin Fletcher.
Fifty-six people died and more than 250 others were injured at the Valley Parade stadium in May of 1985.
The IPCC said it would not investigate the force over the claims.

IPCC deputy chair Sarah Green said: "The fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade Stadium in 1985 was a horrific tragedy that many of us can recall, resulting in the death of 56 people. Mr Fletcher, the complainant, suffered significant loss and trauma himself.
"My decision not to conduct an investigation was not taken lightly; it comes as a result of detailed consideration of both Mr Fletcher's concerns about the role of the police and documents obtained from West Yorkshire Police, as well as evidence which is publicly available."
She said that "with hindsight" it was possible to "identify things the police could have done differently" but there was "no indication any individual officer may have breached the professional standards applicable at the time".
She added: "Significant learning was rightly identified at the time of the disaster, and formed part of the evolution towards the modern-day approach to policing large events."
The IPCC said it had made a recommendation to the force that it should consider making more of its records relating to its original investigation into the causes of the fire publicly available.
Mr Fletcher, who was 12 at the time of the blaze, escaped from the stand at Valley Parade, but his father, uncle, grandfather and younger brother all died.
The Popplewell inquiry, held three weeks after the disaster, ruled that the fire was started by a spectator dropping a cigarette or a lighted match which ignited rubbish that had accumulated under an old timber stand.
Russ Foster, Assistant Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, said: "Despite the passage of time, the terrible events of 11 May 1985 will never be forgotten...

Summary: The police watchdog has said it has found "no indication" of potential misconduct by police officers during the 1985 Bradford City fire disaster.

Article: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says the scope for offering this treatment should be widened to save more lives.
Death rates have been decreasing in recent years, but cardiovascular disease remains the leading UK killer.
It claims about 180,000 lives a year.
Currently, doctors are meant to offer statin tablets to the estimated seven million people who have a 20% chance of developing cardiovascular disease over 10 years, based on risk factors such as their age, sex, whether they smoke and what they weigh.
QRisk2
NICE is now suggesting that people with as low as a one in 10 or 10% risk should be offered statins.
Doctors will need to "make a judgement" about the risks to people who have a less than 10% risk of developing cardiovascular disease and advise them appropriately, say the draft guidelines.
The NHS currently spends about Â£450m a year on statins. If the draft recommendations go ahead, this bill will increase substantially, although the drugs have become significantly cheaper over the years.
It is not clear precisely how many more people would be eligible for statin therapy than now, but NICE says it could be many hundreds of thousands or millions.
Prof Peter Weissberg, of the British Heart Foundation, said the guidelines did need updating and agreed that more people stood to benefit from taking statins.
Cardiovascular disease develops when fatty substances build up in the arteries and narrow them, which can lead to heart attacks and stroke.
Too much cholesterol in the blood can lead to these fatty deposits. Statin drugs work by lowering cholesterol.
Eating a healthy diet, doing regular exercise and keeping slim will also help lower cholesterol.
Like all medicines, statins have potential side-effects.
They have been linked to muscle, liver and kidney problems, but only in a very small number of cases.
Prof Simon Maxwell, of the British Pharmacological Society, said: "Patients should be helped to make a truly informed decision about the benefits and risks of taking long-term...

Summary: Millions more people should be put on cholesterol-lowering statin drugs to protect them against heart attacks and strokes, according to draft guidelines for the NHS in England.

Article: Christopher Hannah crashed into Sophie Brannan and two others in Glasgow's Maryhill area on 14 November last year.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, he was handed a 245 day sentence after admitting the reset of two guitars and an electronic book in March last year.
He will not spend extra time in jail as the sentence will run concurrently.
Hannah, who was a heroin addict, admitted a charge of culpable homicide over the death of Sophie Brannan.
He also admitted dangerous driving, attempting to defeat the ends of justice and possessing heroin.
His trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard that he was driving a hired Vauxhall Astra in the Maryhill area and lost control.
He then fully mounted the pavement before hitting the gable end of a nearby building.
However, the car continued to career forward eventually ploughing into Sophie and the two people with her from behind.
She was rushed to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill where she was found to have swelling to her brain, several fractures and broken bones.
The schoolgirl remained in intensive care overnight, but she never recovered and was pronounced dead the following morning.

Warwickshire Police believe Chinese and Malaysian women were being brought into the UK to be exploited.
Some of the eight have been charged with running brothels while others face charges relating to money laundering.
They have all been bailed to appear before Leamington Spa Magistrates' Court on 2 December.
The ring was discovered after a property in Nuneaton was investigated, said police.
Two homes in Nottingham were raided, two in Warwickshire, and one each in Reading, Slough, Wolverhampton, Torquay and Finchley, in London.

Qualcomm has said it aims to cut costs and jobs and might restructure itself as it delivers a fresh profit warning in the face of rising competition.

Article: The figure is 1,000 higher than last year's target for apprenticeship starts.
The statistics have been released ahead of Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2017.
During the week, employers will be encouraged to take on young people and consider a work-based learning route into employment.
They include new foundation apprenticeships where young people can start training at school, and graduate level apprenticeships where employees can use work-based learning opportunities at degree level.
Employability and Training Minister Jamie Hepburn said he believed more apprenticeship programmes would provide the chance for a record number of young people to work, learn and earn.
He said: "Apprenticeships support young people into sustainable careers, reduce youth unemployment and help meet Scotland's skill requirements.
"Since this government came into office in 2007, over 200,000 modern apprenticeship starts have been delivered.
"Scotland currently has the second lowest youth unemployment in Europe and our world-class work-based learning system is a factor in this.
"By significantly boosting the number of apprentice places on offer, we are reinforcing our commitment to provide accessible education opportunities which will support our learners and the wider economy."
Damien Yeates, chief executive of Skills Development Scotland, which organises Scottish Apprenticeship Week, said: "Apprenticeships are designed by employers for employers and provide the talent they want for the growth they need to develop their workforce.
"Business and industry continue to invest in apprenticeships, even in challenging economic times, which is a testament to the value they see in work-based learning."

Summary: Up to 27,000 young people will benefit from apprenticeship employment opportunities this year, according to the Scottish government.

Article: The Ministry of Defence revealed the name, to coincide with Trafalgar Day, for the first vessel of the £31bn project to replace existing submarines.
The MoD said nine Navy vessels had previously been named Dreadnought.
Perhaps the most famous was HMS Dreadnought, commissioned in 1906, which transformed naval warfare.
The name became used at the time to describe a new era of warship design.
Other Dreadnoughts included one that sailed with Sir Francis Drake to battle the Spanish Armada in 1588, and another that was present with Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Britain's first nuclear-powered submarine, launched 56 years ago, also shared the name.
Critics of the project to renew the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system believe the enormous investment could be better spent elsewhere.
But Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "Every day our ballistic missile submarines are used to deter the most extreme threats to Britain's security.
"We cannot know what dangers we might face in the 2030s, 2040s and 2050s, so we are building the new Dreadnought class.
"Along with increasing the defence budget to buy new ships, more planes, and armoured vehicles, this commitment shows we will never gamble with our security."
Dreadnought will be the lead boat of the four new submarines, as well as the class name for the whole fleet.
The MoD, which received approval for the name from the Queen, said the next three boats would also be given names with "historical resonance".
But there are still groups fighting against the project who have said the bill will run much higher than predicted.
Dave Webb, chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, said: "Replacing and running Trident is set to cost a staggering £205bn.
"The government dishonestly states Trident will cost between £31bn and £41bn, but that's only the cost of manufacturing four submarines.
"Hundreds of billions for a nuclear weapons system that does nothing to address the real and serious security threats we face - like terrorism and...

Summary: The first of four new UK submarines to carry Trident nuclear missiles will be named Dreadnought, a decision inspired by famous ships from the past.

Article: The company, best known for its smartphone chips, wants to reduce spending by $1.4bn (Â£900m), partly through a 15% cut in its workforce.
The US-based firm also delivered its third profit warning of the year.
Qualcomm had been under pressure from major shareholders to make changes in light of rising competition from Asia.
The cost-cutting efforts announced on Wednesday will include culling around 4,500 full-time jobs.
Qualcomm also said it may break itself up.
Shareholder Jana Partners had been pressuring the firm to separate the chip business from the more profitable patent-licensing business.
The company makes chips used in smartphones and tablets, especially the Snapdragon processor found in many mid- and high-end Android devices.
But it has faced increasing competition from Asian manufacturers like Taiwan's MediaTek or smaller Chinese chipmakers.
Smartphone giant Samsung plans to increasingly use its own processors for its future devices rather than going for the Snapdragon chip.
Qualcomm shares fell more than 20% over the past year and dropped further in Wednesday's after hour trading.
In a weak revenue forecast, the company had to give its third profit warning of the year.
For the past quarter, the company said its net income fell by 47% with revenue down by 14%, both numbers coming in below expectations.

Ten men who revealed the identity of the woman involved in footballer Ched Evans' rape trial have been cautioned.

Article: It would succeed the current system based in Reading, UK.
Member states of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) made the indicative decision to relocate the facility on Wednesday.
Detailed negotiations will now be held with Italian authorities. The intention is to confirm the choice in June.
That is the date of the next full Council meeting of the ECMWF.
The bid from Italy's Emilia-Romagna Region to erect a new €50m (£43m) building on the site of an old tobacco factory was regarded as the leading contender, according to an evaluation panel.
A proposal from Finland is back-up should the legal, financial and technical discussions over the next few months suddenly fall over.
The ECMWF is an independent intergovernmental organisation supported by 22 full member states from Europe, with another 12 co-operating nations.
Its supercomputer system ingests weather observations to run models that construct forecasts out to 15 days ahead.
These forecasts are then shared with the member national meteorological agencies, such as Meteo France and the UK's Met Office.
The ECMWF's HQ has been sited at Shinfield Park on the outskirts of Reading since the organisation's set-up four decades ago.
Its first supercomputer, a CRAY-1A, was installed in 1978. The machines have been regularly updated, but the existing Reading buildings are not considered capable of meeting the technical requirements of the next device.
The dual CRAY-XC40 system currently running the numerical models will therefore be the last supercomputing to be done at Shinfield Park.
"It has been clear for a while now that the current data centre facility does not offer the required flexibility for future growth and changes in high-performance computing technology," ECMWF's Director-General Florence Rabier said in a statement.
"As laid out in our 2025 Strategy launched last September, we believe that continuing to improve weather predictions relies heavily on our ability to support our science with proportionate computing power....

Article: The event in Maguindanao, in Mindanao, was attended by President Benigno Aquino who hailed it as an important step forward.
Seventy-five weapons will be deactivated as a gesture of MILF's commitment to peace.
In 2012, the government and MILF agreed to a framework for a peace accord.
About 145 of the estimated 10,000 members of the MILF's armed faction, the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, will be integrated into mainstream society.
"As I look at the faces of each of our 145 brothers here this morning, I see 145 stories of struggle, of pain, of hopelessness and even of death. Yet I also see 145 stories of hope and faith that indeed peace is near and that all the sacrifices have been worth it," MILF lead negotiator Murad Ebrahim said, in quotes carried by the AP news agency.
The government will provide a cash handout of 25,000 Philippine peso ($555; Â£355) to each of the combatants to be used for education, training and livelihood, The Philippine Star newspaper said.
It comes as a law implementing a peace deal between the government and MILF has attracted only lukewarm support in congress.
Dozens of police commandos were killed in clashes with the rebels earlier this this year.
President Aquino said that the number of weapons handed over on Tuesday was significant, AP reported.
"We are not talking of just one or a couple or a dozen firearms. These are high-powered firearms, modern and have not aged. These arms can deal and have dealt extreme suffering," he said at the ceremony.
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process posted pictures of the weapons on Twitter.
The weapons will be held and decommissioned by an independent body.
"For the sake of peace, for the sake of having real peace in Mindanao and for the sake of the need for normalisation [of] the lives of the people including the combatants, we have to undertake decommissioning and put them [arms] beyond use," he said, The Star reported.
The 2012 framework for a peace deal came after 17 years of negotiations.

Article: The Trust found a significant drop in boys' reading enjoyment between the ages of eight and 16 - from 72% at ages eight-to-11 to 36% at ages 14-16.
Girls' pleasure in picking up a book also dropped off in the teenage years, though not quite as markedly.
At ages eight-to-11, 83% of girls said they enjoyed reading, but this dropped back to 53% at ages 14-16.
Director of the NLT Jonathan Douglas said: "Young people's love of reading steadily declines from the day they leave primary school to the day they leave secondary school - particularly when it comes to boys.
"This is a trend we must reverse."
Mr Douglas said an increasing number of academic, social and leisure priorities, as well as a curriculum that puts more emphasis on homework and study, all played their part.
He said there were lots of ways that parents and teachers could encourage teenagers to read for fun.
"For starters, you can motivate boys to read by tapping in to their interests, such as football, comedy and gaming, and letting them choose what they want to read.
"Remember that everything counts, whether they want to read a fictional story, newspaper, magazine or comic."
Overall though, pleasure in reading appears to be rising steadily among UK children.
The NLT survey of 41,334 children aged eight to 16, carried out at the end of 2016, found nearly six children in 10 (57%) said they enjoyed reading either very much or quite a lot.
"While enjoyment levels had been rather stable between 2005 and 2012, they have been rising steadily since 2013, and in 2016 we recorded the highest percentage of reading enjoyment levels," the report said.
Girls enjoyed getting stuck into a book more than boys, with 65% enjoying reading either very much or a lot  compared with 52% of boys.
A child's background was not linked to reading pleasure, as the Trust did not find any difference between children who received free school meals and those who did not.
"It is the first time in 11 years [of conducting this research] that we have not recorded a difference in reading...

Article: The Chesterfield striker was cleared of rape at a retrial in 2016. He had been charged with attacking the woman in a hotel room in Rhyl, Denbighshire.
Following the retrial, North Wales Police investigated after the woman's name was revealed on social media.
Anyone who reports being a victim of a sex offence is guaranteed lifelong anonymity.
North Wales Police's temporary Supt Jason Devonport said the publishing of her name was a "serious" offence.
The men, aged between 16 and 23, were from the Sheffield, Derbyshire and Birmingham areas.
All were cautioned after admitting publishing the name of the woman - who has lifelong anonymity under the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 - after the retrial verdict.
Supt Devonport said: "This type of offence is fortunately rare, however, I'd like to emphasise all police forces take offences of this nature very seriously.
"We will vigorously pursue and prosecute those who don't respect victims' anonymity."
In November 2012 - following the initial trial - nine people were made to pay compensation to the woman after they admitted naming her on Twitter and Facebook.
Mr Evans, 28, was originally found guilty of rape at Caernarfon Crown Court in 2012, but that conviction was quashed in April 2016. A retrial jury found him not guilty of the offence six months later.
The Chesterfield striker had been charged with attacking her at a hotel on 30 May 2011.
He was found not guilty of the same charge, after a retrial at Cardiff Crown Court, in October 2016.
Mr Evans' former club Sheffield United announced this week it was to re-sign him.

Bottles of a popular gin have been recalled across Canada after a batch was found to contain nearly twice the amount of advertised alcohol.

Article: Paul Costa, from Falkirk,  produced and supplied the drug from more than 100 plants grown at the Emotion Karting centre in Ayr between 2013 and 2015.
The 35-year-old was caught after police raided the site and found high powered lamps and other "gardening equipment".
He was convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow and will be sentenced next months.
The court heard that the large crop of cannabis plants had a value of up to Â£100,000.
Costa had denied being responsible - despite police finding numerous cannabis related web searches on his computers.
Police also found his fingerprints in the area where the drugs were and his DNA on a juice can.
When they searched his computer, they also discovered a number of YouTube videos had been watched - including "how to properly dry cannabis".
A leaflet for a hydroponics company was also seized.
He claimed it was him who found the farm and was in the process of trying to catch the culprit when detectives raided the complex.
However, jurors rejected that and convicted him of producing and supplying the drug between February 2013 and February 2015.
The court heard Costa was effectively "second in command" at Emotion. His boss Manoj Deo had also faced the same allegations, but prosecutors dropped the accusations during the trial.

Article: He needs to reduce the prison population in England and Wales in order to save money, while persuading his supporters that he is not soft on crime.
One proposal is to release foreign prisoners early on condition that they leave the UK. Another is to increase the use of day release.
But his hands are tied because politicians cannot tell judges what sentences to pass in individual cases.
What the justice secretary can do is to seek changes in the law if he thinks it is operating unfairly.
A law that has come in for a great deal of criticism is the former sentence of imprisonment for public protection, known as IPP.
Offenders were given a notional minimum term, known as the tariff, but they could be detained indefinitely after that term had expired.
The IPP sentence was designed to ensure that dangerous violent and sexual offenders stayed in custody while they continued to present a risk to society.
The sentence was introduced under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 when Lord Blunkett was Labour's home secretary, and abolished at the end of 2012, when Kenneth Clarke was the Conservative minister responsible for sentencing policy.
But abolition was not retrospective. In June this year, more than 4,600 prisoners were still serving IPPs.
By September, more than three-quarters had completed their minimum term and 392 IPP prisoners had served more than five times their tariff.
The government's policy is that IPP prisoners should continue to be detained until they can persuade the Parole Board, at a hearing, that the risks they pose to the public are safely manageable in the community.
But the Parole Board has a backlog of cases waiting to be heard - although that was reduced by 18% during the first 10 months of 2015 as a result of increased funding.
Even so, Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Haywood, a former justice of the Supreme Court, described IPPs as a "form of preventive detention - internment - entirely alien to our traditional criminal justice approach".
He called on the justice secretary to "bring this terrible scourge...

Article: The British Geological Survey and the Environment Agency have mapped where key aquifers in England and Wales coincide with locations of shale.
The research reveals this occurs under nearly half of the area containing the principal natural stores of water.
The risk of methane being released into drinking water has long been one of the most sensitive questions over fracking.
The study highlights where the rock layers may be too close to the aquifers for fracking to go ahead.
It finds that the Bowland Shale in northern England - the first to be investigated for shale gas potential - runs below no fewer than six major aquifers.
However, the study also says that almost all of this geological formation - 92% of it - is at least 800m below the water-bearing rocks.
Industry officials have always argued that a separation of that size between a shale layer and an aquifer should make any contamination virtually impossible.
They say that wells are sealed with steel and concrete as they pass through water-bearing rocks and that any fissures created by fracking far below would be highly unlikely to spread through hundreds of metres of rock.
Environmentalists say that the processes of drilling and of fracturing rock inherently carry the risk of polluting a vital resource.
Analysis of the Weald Basin in southern England shows that the uppermost layer of oil-bearing shale is at least 650m below a major aquifer.
Dr John Bloomfield, of the British Geological Survey, said the maps could serve as a guide for regulators and planners.
"We've identified areas where aquifers are in relatively close proximity to shale units and any developments would have to be looked at particularly carefully," he said.
"It's no surprise that the same system of sedimentation that produces shale also produces limestone which is excellent for storing water."
Aquifers such as the Oolite, which runs from Yorkshire through the East Midlands to the south coast of England, are often in direct contact with a shale layer.

Article: Officials said the 1.14 litre bottles of Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin should have had 40% alcohol content by volume when the actual figure was 77%.
They said the problem had been traced back to the production line.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said no illnesses associated with the gin had been reported.
Drinks giant Bacardi, which distributes Bombay Sapphire, said the affected batch was believed to have only been sold in Canada.
The province of Ontario was the first to remove the gin from stores before a nationwide recall was issued.
"One batch was bottled before correct dilution to achieve the stated 40% alcohol content by volume," the Ontario Liquor Control Board said in a statement
"As a result, the affected batch has alcohol content by volume of 77%."
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the recalled gin should be thrown out or returned to the shop where it was bought.
It is the second time this year that Canada has had to recall a brand of liquor because the alcohol content was too high.
In March, bottles of Georgian Bay vodka were pulled from the shelves after inspectors found a batch with an alcohol content of 81% instead of the advertised 40%.

The Price of Football, the biggest study of its kind in Europe, looked at prices at 223 clubs.
More than two thirds of ticket prices across the UK have been either cut or frozen for the 2016-17 season.
However, an away ticket in the Championship can now be more expensive than for a Premier League match.
This is because top-flight clubs have capped prices for visiting fans at £30.

Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, said: "On their current £8.3bn deal, the Premier League could afford to let every single fan in free for every game and still have as much money as they had under the previous deal.
"That gives you an idea of the scale of the amount of money they have got."
The Premier League said in a statement: "Clubs are listening to their fans and working hard to make sure that Premier League football is accessible as well as competitive and compelling."
The study also found replica shirt prices have increased year-on-year and half of top-flight clubs put up the price of their junior shirts.
For the first time, we asked clubs for the percentage of male and female season-ticket holders. In the Premier League, 14 clubs responded, with Southampton revealing one in five of their season-ticket holders are women, while at Liverpool the figure is 11%.

Article: Members of Braintree's Dolphin Women's Institute (WI) have stitched some of the town's best-known landmarks including the church and museum.
Each model is about 45cm (18in) tall and was created using a polystyrene or cardboard core with knitting sewn on.
It took nine knitters seven months to complete the seven miniature buildings which will be displayed at the town's museum next month.
The group's vice-president, Elaine Pye, said the project was inspired by a similar one a relative had been involved in knitting in Hertfordshire.
"They knitted their own cottages, but we couldn't really do that so chose some of the town's beautiful iconic buildings," she said.
Mrs Pye put together the polystyrene structures and each knitter got to work, returning after two weeks with their latest knitted piece of church spire or pub frontage.
After much gluing, sewing and additional knitted embellishments, the town finally took shape, brought together with mini woollen market stalls.
The group created models of the town hall, church, Swan pub, library, museum, shopping centre and even the railway station complete with knitted train.
"It really brought everyone together and the response has been amazing," Mrs Pye said.
"So much so that they want to do more, so we think we might knit the Public Gardens next."

The incident involving Barbie happened on a private lane while Falco was with handler Mick Judge. The three-year-old terrier had to be put down because of the extent of her injuries.
Barbie's owner Charles Giermak said the attack on his dog could have been avoided if Falco had been muzzled.
In a statement, Deputy Chief Constable Heather Roach said: "This was an incredibly tough decision to make given the nature of the circumstances and the fact that our dog handlers care a great deal about their dogs, as we do as a force.
"As difficult as it was to take this action, which was carried out with very heavy hearts, it was decided that the best course was to euthanise Falco to ensure this type of incident never happens again.
"An IPCC investigation is still under way so we are limited in what we can say in relation to the exact circumstances until those enquiries have been completed."

Scotland's Finance Minister described his comments as "pretty preposterous".
John Swinney said Mr Barroso's view was based on a false comparison.
The referendum on Scottish independence will be held on 18 September, with voters being asked the Yes/No question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
In his interview with Andrew Marr, Mr Barroso said: "In case there is a new country, a new state, coming out of a current member state it will have to apply."
He said it was important that "accession to the European Union will have to be approved by all other member states of the European Union."
He went on: "Of course it will be extremely difficult to get the approval of all the other member states to have a new member coming from one member state."
Mr Barroso cited the example of the Spanish not recognising Kosovo.
He said: "We have seen Spain has been opposing even the recognition of Kosovo, for instance. So it is to some extent a similar case because it's a new country and so I believe it's going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, a new member state coming out of our countries getting the agreement of the others."
However, Mr Barroso made clear that it was up to the people of Scotland to decide their future, and he said he did not want to interfere in that process.
In its White Paper on independence, launched in November, the Scottish government said the country would look to gain membership through Article 48 of the Treaty of the European Union.
It said such a move could be achieved within 18 months of a "Yes" vote.
'Agreed process'
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics programme, Mr Swinney said: "I think President Barroso's remarks are pretty preposterous.
"He's set out his position linking and comparing Scotland to the situation in Kosovo.
"Scotland has been a member of the EU for 40 years - we're already part of the European Union."
Mr...

Summary: European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has said it would be "extremely difficult, if not impossible" for an independent Scotland to join the European Union.

Article: New figures from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs show that between July and September the number of GB applications rose by 96%.
There were 3,431 applications in September 2015, compared to 7,518 in September 2016.
Year-on-year applications from Northern Ireland have also risen since the vote.
They have increased by two-thirds in the three months since the Brexit decision.
In terms of numbers, there have been 15,757 applications from people in Northern Ireland since July, compared 9,401 in the same period last year.
The Northern Ireland-only figures show demand was strongest at the end of the summer:
In Great Britain, the trend has been upwards over the past three months:
There have been 21,549 Irish passport applications from people in Great Britain since July, compared 10,959 in the same period last year.

Summary: The number of applications for Irish passports from people living in Great Britain has almost doubled since the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Article: Demonstrators have moved around several sites since April to highlight a crisis in temporary housing.
The council's lawyer told the court "trespass, highways and planning laws" were the grounds for the case.
The cost to the council in terms of additional policing, security and legal costs has exceeded Â£100,000, he added.
Ahead of the hearing, tents were set up and a banner reading "The homeless resistance" was hung outside Manchester Civil Justice Centre.
'Grave and serious'
Protesters said they hoped to be offered "permanent, suitable accommodation".
Some had earlier refused temporary accommodation offered by the council because they said it was "not suitable" and they felt unsafe.
The council said it had engaged with the protestors and had offered them support, but it could not accept anti-social behaviour and disruption to residents and businesses.
Councillor Nigel Murphy added the exclusion order was "designed to prevent the recurrence of camps and not targeted at individual rough sleepers".
He said the council would work with police and court bailiffs to "regain possession" of areas taken over by camps in St Ann's Square and Castlefield as soon as possible.
John Clegg, from Unison's community branch, said there was a lack of social housing in Manchester.
He added: "There is a large amount of money for building private flats, more hotels are going up all the time, but there are no plans to build any social housing. That's wrong. That's absolutely wrong."
"In our view an injunction is a form of gating, and sending out a message that poor people are not wanted and should not be coming in to the city centre."

Summary: A Manchester City Council application for an injunction to stop the setting up of homeless camps in the city centre has been granted.

Article: A fire was started when the building was broken into sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
The museum is located in the Bogside, close to where some of the 14 victims of Bloody Sunday were killed in 1972.
John Kelly, whose brother, Michael, was killed said the damage to the building could have been a lot worse.
"I looked at it and thought: "Good God, if that had really caught fire, we could have had an explosion".
A Â£2.4m reconstruction of the Glenfada Park museum began in 2015 and is now close to completion.
Mr Kelly has been working on the project for the past 10 years.
"It shows total disrespect for my brother and all those who died during Bloody Sunday and all the others who lost their lives in that period of time, total disrespect for our family members and their memory," he said.
"The police told me there was a fire and it was in the back store, that's where we have the gas mains and electronic equipment as well.
"The building is next door to people's houses and everyone could have been affected by it. It didn't travel any further, thank God, and we still have an intact building," Mr Kelly added.
Building site foreman Dermott McGrotty said they have now improved security at the site.
"They had to climb over an eight foot fence to get in, so overnight security has now been arranged and we're making sure the doors are well secured."
The Northern Ireland Fire Service is treating the fire as deliberate. The police have appealed for information.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder over the shooting of a man at a meat market.

Article: They found the encryption system used in many car immobilisers can be cracked, potentially letting a thief steal the car.
Vehicles made by 26 separate car firms including Volkswagen, Porsche and Honda use the "weak" security system.
The researchers first released their findings two years ago but legal action prevented publication.
Security researchers Roel Verdult, Flavio Garcia, and Baris Ege from Radboud University in Holland investigated the encryption system used by the Megamos immobiliser.
This stops a car engine being started if the correct radio chip in a key fob is not close by.
These systems can be fooled with boosters that amplify the signal on the corresponding chip but the researchers took a different approach that tackled the data passing between car keys and the Megamos system.
Eavesdropping on the exchange of data between the car key and crypto system a couple of times gave the trio useful hints about which secret key was being used to scramble the data.
This helped them find which cryptographic key was being used in about 30 minutes. Some car makers were using very weak secret keys that could be found in just a few minutes using a laptop.
In a paper describing their work, the three researchers said it was "trivial" to accomplish the attack on the immobiliser system. The research was completed three years ago but legal action by Volkswagen and French defence group Thales initially prevented publication. The restrictions on publication have now been lifted after the paper was edited.
The BBC has contacted Megamos for a comment but the company has not yet responded.
Fixing the flaws in the cryptographic system overseeing the data exchange will be hard as it involves replacing radio chips in car key fobs and the corresponding hardware in affected vehicles.
The team said it had been talking to car makers about its findings, and measures had been taken to prevent some of the attacks working.
The paper comes after several other security researchers revealed ways to take over in-car computer systems....

Article: Natural Resources Minister Carl Sargeant has imposed a moratorium on underground coal gasification (UCG).
Mr Sargeant said this forms part of a "precautionary approach" towards the development of unconventional oil and gas resources, which includes a temporary ban on fracking.
Any council not proposing to refuse an application must refer it to ministers.
Mr Sargeant said: "The direction has been issued to require that any planning application connected to the gasification of coal must be referred to Welsh ministers where local planning authorities are minded to approve them."
It applies to any onshore application registered on or after 25 March and Mr Sargeant said it was to "avoid any ambiguity".
A study by Duke University in the US suggested synthetic natural gas emits seven times more greenhouse gases than natural gas and almost twice as much carbon as a coal plant.

Summary: A ban on chemically transforming underground coal into synthetic natural gas has been imposed.

Article: Andrew Gray, who calls himself a 'crocoholic', keeps 6,739 crocodile related items at his home in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire.
He said he became the official 'biggest collector of crocodiles in the world' after breaking an existing record of 1,000 items.
He is using the collection to raise money for two hospices.
Guinness World Records could not be contacted for comment.
Mr Gray's obsession started 15 years ago with the purchase of his first novelty crocodile.
"I moved into a new house and I needed some new furniture, but instead I brought a really cool three foot wooden crocodile.
"I have ones made of wood, glass, metal, pottery, soft toys, china, plastic, marble, you name it I've got it," he said.
His favourite crocodile is a giant wooden one he found outside a cigar shop in Mexico and transported home via a ferry and two flights.
Mr Gray has agreed to donate 10p for every "like" his Facebook page receives, and recently gave Â£400 to the Cynthia Spencer Hospice, which cared for his father-in-law until he died.
John Helm, its fundraising manager, said: "People do many weird and wonderful things to support the hospice, but this collection and record is one of the weirdest.
"We're delighted he's chosen to support us in this way."

Article: Thomas Baker, known as Tommy, was found badly injured at Stanley Meat Market in the Old Swan area of Liverpool on 27 January.
The 44-year-old, from Everton, had been shot in the head and chest. He died later in hospital.
The three Liverpool men arrested - two aged 29 and the other 32 - remain in police custody for questioning.
Merseyside Police said Mr Baker had left Phoenix Gym at the market shortly before he was shot while getting into his car.
Detectives believe those involved in the shooting had been waiting outside the gym for about an hour.
Det Ch Insp Bev Hyland said officers were still searching for a silver VW polo, which "left the scene at speed" and travelled along a number of roads including Balmoral Road, Molyneux Road and Queens Road.
She added that a number of people captured on CCTV near the meat market had yet to come forward and while "they may not think what they saw would be of any significance, they could have information which is key to our inquiries".

Article: Nissan's NSC-2015 is only a prototype, but its name suggests the carmaker aims to have it on the market by 2015.
Many car companies have been working on autonomous technology, with a number of driverless cars unveiled in recent months.
But one analyst warned that the mass use of such cars was a long way off.
The NSC-2015 is a modified version of Nissan's Leaf model.
It relies on sensors, cameras, computers and 4G communication technology for wireless links to navigate, and robotics to turn the steering wheel, change gears and brake.
When demonstrated at Ceatec, the car drove itself at about 3mph (5km/h) in a straight line forward and in reverse, and was able to turn.
It was shown that the car could recognise road markings and was able to stop at a crossing.
A Nissan representative also controlled the car from the outside, making it drive towards him as he pressed some buttons on his phone.
"After the driver exits the NSC-2015, it starts to park itself automatically, following the instructions given by smartphone," the company said.
"The vehicle looks for a vacant parking space while identifying its surroundings; once it detects an open parking space automated parking begins.
"The driver can also use smartphone commands to make the NSC-2015 vehicle leave the parking space and return to the place where he or she is.
"While parked, the car's security camera system automatically works with a camera installed in the vehicle. If the system detects suspicious behaviour, the driver is alerted automatically by a report to his or her smartphone."
However, Tooru Futami, engineering director at electronics engineering development division at Nissan, told Forbes that the car was not yet able to self-drive down the street or park itself in any space.
He said the demo version could only self-park in an area equipped with sensors and restricted to other robotic cars to avoid the risk of collision.

Article: The Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation (SSPO) said more than 160,000 tonnes were produced for more than 65 countries in 2014.
The USA remained the top export destination, with sales growing to almost £215m.
It was followed by France, which saw sales grow by 55% in volume to reach £110m.
Exports to China reached almost £65m, with an extra 40% in volume last year.
SSPO chief executive Scott Landsburgh said: "We are delighted with the reception Scottish salmon receives at home and abroad, and these latest figures prove how demand continues to go from strength to strength.
"We use the strictest production standards to produce the highest quality salmon which is why Scottish salmon was awarded 'best farmed salmon in the world' by an independent poll of international seafood buyers for the second consecutive time last year.
"This accolade is a testament to our dedicated salmon farmers and is obviously great news for rural communities where we farm and the wider Scottish economy, which continues to benefit from jobs, significant capital investment and ongoing community support provided by our industry."
The figures were released as Scotland's salmon farmers headed out to the Seafood Global Expo, the world's largest seafood exhibition, in Brussels.
Scottish Sea Farms, The Scottish Salmon Company, Marine Harvest Scotland, Cooke Aquaculture Scotland, Wester Ross Salmon, Loch Duart Salmon and Scottish Quality Salmon are all attending the seafood show, which runs until Thursday.

Summary: Exports of Scottish salmon grew by £50m last year to reach £500m for the first time, according to industry figures.

Article: Scientists say a range of conditions, including skin disease and even a tendency towards tobacco addiction, have strong links to the DNA we retain from our ancient evolutionary cousins.
A US-led team found the associations when searching for Neanderthal genetic variations in 28,000 modern-day people.
The study appears in Science magazine and is the largest of its kind so far.
"I want to stress that none of this is directly causal," said senior author Dr Tony Capra from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
"The associated diseases we've identified are complex, and will have a large number of genetic and environmental factors. And in many cases the Neanderthal contribution will be significant but it's not like you are doomed to be a life-long smoker just because you have that bit of Neanderthal DNA," he told BBC News.
It is recognised now that our direct forebears interbred with Neanderthals about 50,000 years ago, when we entered Eurasia from Africa.
This interaction has left its mark on many people of European origin today: their genomes contain anywhere between 1% and 4% Neanderthal DNA.
The revelation stems from recent work to read the entire genetic blueprint of Neanderthals - made possible by examining their fossil remains.
Dr Capra and colleagues trawled this ancient "life code" for small, tell-tale "spelling mistakes" - what are called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs. And then, with access to a huge database of anonymised hospital medical records, they went looking for those same signature variations in the DNA of nearly 30,000 people.
The team identified 135,000 SNPs in modern-day patients that very likely came from Neanderthals.
"Once you've got that information, you can start to test whether there is an influence on risk for disease," Dr Capra explained.
Strong correlations were found for 12 traits, including an increased tendency towards immune issues, heart attack, and blood disorders.
One of these associations concerns hypercoagulability. In ancient times, it might have been...

Article: The Hull 2017 Culture Company said fundraising had exceeded its public target of £18m, raised with investment from 61 partners.
The full programme of events is to be announced next week.
Martin Green, of Hull 2017, said the money was "a massive vote of confidence" in the city.
The chief executive and director of Hull 2017 said Hull was a "great city" and "the northern powerhouse argument was a good one".
Mr Green admitted his personal target for funding had been about £30m.
He was the man behind the London 2012 Olympic ceremonies, oversaw the torch relays ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 and was the executive producer of the Tour de France's opening ceremony in Leeds.
About £22m will be spent on cultural events and another portion of the money will support events after 2017, the charity said.
More than 2,000 people have already signed up to volunteer during the year and 60,000 school students will take part in some way.

Article: It predicted that growth would pick up to 1.7% next year, from 1.5% this year.
However, the IMF warned that the region was still "vulnerable to shocks".
This could tip the block into "prolonged stagnation," the fund said in its latest assessment of the region.
It cited uncertainty arising from the situation in Greece as a potential trigger for such a shock, saying that further volatility from the situation could not be ruled out.
Greece is currently negotiating its third bailout with creditors.
"Several factors cloud the outlook for growth over the next five years," said the IMF's Mahmood Pradhan.
"These include high unemployment, especially among the youth; large corporate debt; and rising non-performing loans in the banking system.
"A moderate shock to confidence - whether from lower expected future growth or heightened geopolitical tensions - could tip the block into prolonged stagnation," he said,
Inflation would remain near zero in 2015 and rise to 1.1% in 2016, the IMF predicted.
Earlier this year, the ECB launched a â‚¬60bn-a-month asset-buying programme in an attempt to stimulate the economy and avoid deflation.
The IMF praised the plan, saying it had boosted confidence and improved financial conditions, and suggested that it should remain in place until September 2016, if not longer.
The message from the IMF is that the eurozone has more work to do. And it is not just the obvious calls for reform of the structure of the eurozone and for further work from the countries that have struggled.
There is a call for Germany to do more - not screaming out from the headlines of the report it must be said, but it is there.
The IMF refers to countries with what it calls excessive current account surpluses - which means international trade in goods and services and some financial flows.
It says they should invest more in infrastructure and, less directly, it suggests that they should boost demand.  The report names Germany and the Netherlands as countries where these surpluses are continuing to grow.

Article: Photographs released by KCNA state news agency to go with a report on Mr Kim's visit to a facility at the Academy of Defence Sciences facility show wall charts describing the missiles, called Hwasong-13 and Pukguksong-3.
Hwasong-13 appears to be a three-stage ICBM (Inter Continental Ballistic Missile), while the chart showing Pukguksong-3, although largely obscured by officials, is an Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM).
It's not the first time that North Korea has "accidentally" left details of important developments in the background of photo-shoots, and this is seen by analysts as a means of showing off its military power or sending messages to its foes.
North Korea's report of the visit appears to be deliberately timed, coming on the third day of the Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises involving South Korea and the United States, to which Pyongyang is vehemently opposed.
The timing and the content is critical. Speaking to South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, Shin Jong-woo of the Korea Defence and Security Forum said that North Korea "has a history of displaying actual weapons, or graphic designs of them, via state media in order to flaunt its military prowess to the world."
According to KCNA, Kim Jong-un is said to have ordered scientists at the facility to produce more solid rocket fuel and warhead tips missiles, and these fit with the details displayed on the wall charts.
Unlike the liquid-fuelled Hwasong-14 missile which North Korea tested in July, Hwasong-13 appears to be a three-stage solid fuel rocket; while the solid-fuelled Pukguksong-3 is a longer-range version of the Pukguksong-1 and -2 missiles which were tested in 2016.
Whether by mistake or as a ruse, it has happened before.
Two weeks ago, photos of Kim Jong-un planning a ballistic missile test in the direction of US Andersen Air Force Base on Guam also contained strategically-placed wall charts and and an ominous aerial view of the base itself.
The message here is clear. Pyongyang is telling Washington that American military...

Article: Girlguiding UK found they needed a new vow that includes non-religious members and those who follow other faiths.
It has been replaced with a new promise to "be true to myself and develop my beliefs".
The new oath drops the reference to God for the first time since Guides began in 1910.
Brownies and Guides currently vow to "to love my God, to serve my Queen and my country".
I promise that I will do my best
To be true to myself and develop my beliefs

Article: The letters are intended to confirm the accuracy of HMRC's records for the 2.6 million taxpayers who live in Scotland and who will pay the new rate.
Recipients will not need to take any action if the address details HMRC holds for them are correct.
The Scottish Rate of Income Tax comes into effect on 6 April next year.
It will be paid by UK taxpayers who live in Scotland, regardless of where they work, with the rate to be announced by the Scottish government in its draft budget on 16 December.
Those paying the new rate will see their tax code prefixed by an 'S' and their income tax will continue to be collected from pay and pensions in the same way as it is now.
The new system was a recommendation of the Calman Commission and has been devolved under the Scotland Act 2012 along with powers over stamp duty and landfill tax
It will see the UK income tax rate being reduced by 10p in the pound across all bands in Scotland, with the Scottish Parliament then setting its own rate, which could be lower, higher or exactly the same as the rest of the UK.
The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has already hinted that her government is likely to keep the Scottish rate at the same level as the rest of the UK as any tax rises or cuts would need to be applied across all tax bands.
The Scottish Parliament is to receive greater powers over income tax under the new Scotland Bill proposals which are still going through the UK Parliament and which are expected to come into force in 2018.
The Scotland Bill will hand Holyrood control over income tax rates and bands, which would give the Scottish government greater flexibility to introduce a higher rate of income tax for high earners if it wished to do so.

Summary: Taxpayers in Scotland are to receive a letter from HM Revenue and Customs this week as part of preparations for the new Scottish Rate of Income Tax.

Article: The series - starring Tony Hancock and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson - featured 103 episodes but 20 of the audio recordings are missing.
Five of the those scripts - chosen by Galton and Simpson - will now be re-recorded in front of a live audience.
They will air in November to celebrate Galton and Simpson's 60th anniversary.
The five episodes will feature Kevin R McNally, who appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, as Hancock.
Other characters will be played by W1A and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa actor Simon Greenall, Hugo and Hot Fuzz star Kevin Eldon and Sherlock actor Robin Sebastian.
Recording begins at the BBC Radio Theatre in London on Tuesday.
Hancock's Half Hour was an immediate critical and ratings success.
In 1956, Hancock's Half Hour was made into a TV series and both versions alternated until 1959.
The TV show remained faithful to the radio series, although only Sid James was retained from the cast.
The radio show wound down in 1959, while on television, Hancock was becoming concerned at the increasing popularity of his co-star James.
James played the man-on-the-street foil to Hancock's pompous character, with viewers often siding with James.
As a result, Hancock decided that following the 1960 series, James was to be dropped and the show would continue without him, re-titled simply Hancock.

Summary: Five missing episodes from classic 1950s radio series Hancock's Half Hour are to be re-recorded and aired on BBC Radio 4 later this year.

Article: Humans are thought to have arrived in the New World no earlier than 25,000 years ago, so the find would push back the first evidence of settlement by more than 100,000 years.
The conclusions rest on analysis of animal bones and tools from California.
But many experts contacted by the BBC said they doubted the claims.
Thomas Deméré, Steven Holen and colleagues examined material from the Cerutti Mastodon site near San Diego. The site was originally uncovered in 1992, during highway construction work. Possible stone tools were discovered alongside the smashed up remains of a mastodon (Mammut americanum)- an extinct relative of mammoths and living elephants.
The researchers behind the latest study were unable to carry out radiocarbon dating on the remains, so they used a technique called uranium-thorium dating on several bone fragments, coming up with a date of 130,000 years.
The team members found that some of the bones and teeth bore a characteristic breakage pattern known as spiral fracturing, considered to occur when the bone is fresh. Additionally, some of the bones showed typical signs of being smashed with hard objects.
Rocks found alongside the mastodon remains show signs of wear and being struck against other surfaces, the researchers say. They conclude that these represent hammerstones and anvils - two types of stone tool used by prehistoric cultures around the world.
Dr Deméré, curator of palaeontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum, said the totality of evidence at the site had led team members to the conclusion that "humans were processing [working on or breaking up] mastodon limb bones using hammerstones and anvils and that the processing occurred at the site of burial 130,000 years ago".
Dr Steve Holen, co-director of the Center for American Paleolithic Research in South Dakota, commented: "We have conducted two experiments breaking elephant bones with large rock hammers and anvils. We produced exactly the same kind of fracture patterns as we found on the Cerutti mastodon limb bones."

Article: Torbay Council has had a mayor and cabinet since 2005, but will now adopt a leader and cabinet from 2019.
The referendum was held after post holders were accused of making wrong decisions and having too much power.
But supporters of the role said it was good to have a single visible figure who was above political infighting.
The turnout for the referendum was 25%, with 15,846 votes placed in favour of a leader and cabinet and 9,511 in favour of the current mayor and cabinet system.
Conservative Gordon Oliver was re-elected as mayor for his second term, which will last four years, in 2015.
Jenny Kumah, BBC Radio Devon's political reporter, said: "The main differences between the two systems is that the mayor is directly elected by residents and has more power to get decisions through.

Article: It may be a stereotypical image, but in the 18th Century, a cuppa was in such high demand that many Britons were willing to risk jail for the privilege.
In fact, this kind of smuggling was a vital part of Britain's economy for some 200 years.
It was a trade triggered by increasingly high tariffs or duties, taxes a merchant would have to pay to legally import tea.
The duties on importing tea reached a staggering 119% in the 1750s - which meant that if you could avoid paying the tax, the cost of your brew dropped by more than half.
Not surprisingly many customers turned to the smugglers, who were willing to risk imprisonment or have their ships destroyed and goods seized if they were caught.
Free trade and smuggling are closely linked.
When import taxes or tariffs are low, there's not much profit to be made from smuggling.
Conversely, when a government makes it expensive to legally import items it encourages smugglers who can undercut the official price.
Tea was one of the most important items illegally brought into Britain in the 18th Century - everybody wanted to drink it, but most could not afford it at the official price.
In an age before income tax, tea duties accounted for 10% of government revenues, which was enough to pay for the Royal Navy, but as tariffs on it reached 119% it gave smugglers their chance.
"If you had high tariffs and goods people wanted, it gave smugglers a business opportunity," says Exeter University historian Helen Doe.
More than 3,000 tonnes of tea was smuggled into Britain a year by the late 1700s, with just 2,000 tonnes imported legally.
In some areas whole communities were dependent on smuggling, from landowners who might finance the operation down to the fishermen who might be crewing the boats.
There were three main types of smuggling, says Robert Blyth, senior curator at the National Maritime Museum in London.
"There's small-scale smuggling, where you might row your boat out to meet a ship and take off some of its cargo to sell illegally, the ship's captain declaring the...

Article: The blueprint for all life forms on Earth is written in a code consisting of four "letters": A, T, C and G, which pair up in the DNA double helix.
But the lab organism has been modified to use an additional two, giving it a genetic code of six letters.
Researchers hope the work could lead to bugs that can help manufacture new classes of drugs to treat disease.
The team from the US, China and France have published their work in PNAS journal.
Previous research had shown that an "unnatural base pair" (UBP), consisting of two synthetic letters called X and Y, could be incorporated into the DNA of Escherichia coli bacteria.
But the resulting bugs grew slowly, and the UBP was expunged after several rounds of cell division.
Now, Prof Floyd Romesberg, from The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, and colleagues, have shown that their single-celled organism can hold on indefinitely to the synthetic base pair as it divides.
"We've made this semisynthetic organism more life-like," said Prof Romesberg, senior author of the new study.
"Your genome isn't just stable for a day," said Prof Romesberg. "Your genome has to be stable for the scale of your lifetime. If the semisynthetic organism is going to really be an organism, it has to be able to stably maintain that information."
Key to the advance was a modification to a molecular transporter, which helps the E. coli bugs import the UBP.
Next, the researchers optimised their previous version of Y so that it could be better recognised by the enzymes that synthesise DNA molecules during replication.
Finally, the researchers set up a "spell check" system for the organism using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool.
They were able to take advantage of the tool to ensure that any cells that dropped X and Y would be marked for destruction by the organism.
Their semisynthetic organism was thus able to keep X and Y in its genome after dividing 60 times, leading the researchers to believe it can hold on to the base pair indefinitely.
"We can now get the light of life to...

Article: L/Cpl James Brynin, who served with the 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), was shot while on patrol in Helmand Province on 15 October.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, joined the Army in February 2011 and entered the Intelligence Corps.
He was repatriated via RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
L/Cpl Brynin worked as an intelligence analyst and had been selected for promotion to corporal when his patrol was attacked in Kakaran, north east of Lashkar Gah.
L/Cpl Brynin, known as Jay, received immediate medical attention but died from his injuries at the scene.
After his initial training, he was posted to 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), which is based at Cawdor Barracks in Pembrokeshire, and had already served a tour in Afghanistan in 2012.
He returned to Afghanistan this August as an intelligence analyst working for a light electronic warfare team (LEWT) within the Brigade Reconnaissance Force (BRF) of 7th Armoured Brigade.
In a tribute, L/Cpl Brynin's family said: "Heart of a lion, we will always stand strong for you. We will never forget. Rest in peace."
Lt Col Mark Purves, commanding officer 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), said: "Bright and engaging, Lance Corporal Brynin was immensely popular and an outstanding soldier in every respect.
"Having already completed one tour to Afghanistan, his appointment to support the Brigade Reconnaissance Force was indicative of his talent and leadership qualities.
"He was fit, determined and genuinely wanted to make a difference."

Article: The Boundary Commission for Scotland is consulting on proposals to create three new constituencies.
Fears raised include difficulties for MPs servicing larger constituencies and the break-up of traditional areas.
The commission, whose consultation runs until 11 January, said it recognised "there may be tensions in some areas" over the planned changes.
UK Parliament boundaries are to be changed under plans to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600.
No changes are to be made to the boundary of the Western Isles constituency, Na h-Eileanan an Iar.
The three new Highlands constituencies are to be known as Argyll, Bute and Lochaber; Inverness and Skye; and Highland North.
The seat of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey is to be largely absorbed into the new Inverness and Skye. Part of Lochaber would form Argyll, Bute and Lochaber.
Highland North would be the UK's largest-ever constituency, covering Caithness, Sutherland, Wester Ross and Easter Ross.
Highland councillor Audrey Sinclair said it would be difficult for an MP to service such a big area.
She said: "I feel sorry for the constituents because just how often would they see an MP?
"Also, the person who is actually elected would have a very difficult job to make sure that they do cover all the area."
Lyn Kilpatrick, of Kilmallie in Lochaber, said communities and community assets would be lost from the traditional area of Lochaber.
The boundary changes would, for example, see the base of Lochaber Rugby Club inside the new constituency of Inverness and Skye, she said.
She added: "It may seem a marginal issue, but I think it is important. The commission says itself that it tries to retain people's traditional communities and people's sense of who they are and what they belong to for UK parliamentary purposes."
Full reviews of UK Parliament constituencies are carried out every five years and Scottish Parliament boundaries about every 10 years, with interim reviews of selected areas sooner if considered necessary.

Article: Gail Kelly, the first female chief executive of a major Australian bank, will be succeeded by Brian Hartzer.
Mr Hartzer, who was born in America but is also an Australian citizen, is currently the head of the bank's financial services division.
Ms Kelly, 58, joined Westpac in 2008 as the financial crisis was wreaking havoc on global markets.
During her tenure, company revenue more than doubled from approximately A$50bn (Â£28bn; $44bn) to around A$104bn, Chairman Lindsay Maxsted said in a statement.
"Gail leaves the group in strong shape," Ms Maxsted said.
On Wednesday, Westpac's annual report showed Ms Kelly's A$12.8m annual salary made her the highest-paid banking chief in Australia.
In comparison, ANZ Chief Executive Mike Smith earned A$10.7m and Commonwealth Bank Chief Executive Ian Narev earned A$8.1m.
The South African-born Ms Kelly has been rated by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world.
As the Australian business community pushes for more female board members and chief executives, Ms Kelly, a mother of four, is considered by some as a role model for aspiring leaders.
There had been speculation Mr Hartzer would succeed Ms Kelly after he joined Westpac in 2012 following senior postings at ANZ and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Article: Using lesson plans and materials from this website, and with support from BBC staff and partners, teachers help students develop their journalistic skills to become School Reporters.
In March, schools take part in an annual News Day, simultaneously creating video, audio and text-based news reports, and publishing them on a school website, to which the BBC aims to link.
Last year more than 1,000 schools across the UK took part on School Report,  on the biggest ever School Report News Day. Take a look at what students produced on the day!
School report's 10th News Day will be held on 10 March 2016.
There are five steps for teachers to take, and the sooner you complete them, the sooner we can work with you:
BBC News presenter and former teacher Huw Edwards is working on School Report.
He said: "Over the years I've run many journalism workshops in schools. So I've seen how much fun it can be and how much can be learnt when there are real deadlines, real audiences and real standards to meet.
"I'm involved because I want to give young people the chance to make the news themselves, and I want to share the principles of good journalism. So have a go, let me know what you think, and good luck!"
As well as the main News Day in March, there are also opportunities to join in a Practice News Day - a chance to rehearse what you will do on the big day itself.
You can hold your own Practice News Day on a date of your choosing, but one advantage of taking part on a central date is that your school will be featured on the School Report website.
The safety and well-being of young people taking part in the project is very important to everyone involved in School Report. All mentors and other people working with School Report sign a personal disclosure form and undertake training in accordance with the BBC's guidelines on child protection.
We also have protection measures in place to prevent identification of children, including not using surnames and requiring parental consent for all children taking part.

Article: New Healthway, a book on hygiene and health aimed at 11 and 12 year-olds, is printed by one of India's leading publishers.
Academics have urged the government to exercise greater control.
But the authorities say schools should monitor content as they are responsible for the choice of textbooks.
"This is poisonous for children," Janaki Rajan of the Faculty of Education at Jamia Millia University in Delhi told the BBC.
"The government has the power to take action, but they are washing their hands of it," she said.
It is not known which Indian schools have bought the book for their students, but correspondents say what is worrying is that such a book is available to students.
"The strongest argument that meat is not essential food is the fact that the Creator of this Universe did not include meat in the original diet for Adam and Eve. He gave them fruits, nuts and vegetables," reads a chapter entitled Do We Need Flesh Food?
The chapter details the "benefits" of a vegetarian diet and goes on to list "some of the characteristics" found among non-vegetarians.
"They easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, they are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes," it says.
The chapter, full of factual inaccuracies, refers to Eskimos (Inuit) as "lazy, sluggish and short-lived", because they live on "a diet largely of meat".
It adds: "The Arabs who helped in constructing the Suez Canal lived on wheat and dates and were superior to the beef-fed Englishmen engaged in the same work."
The publishers, S Chand, did not respond to the BBC's requests for a comment.

Three men, including a police officer, have been arrested following a hoax terror plot to kidnap an officer.

Article: A hurricane making landfall is never welcome but it looked set to strike Ms Kent's home in Florida at the worst possible time.
Back then, Ms Kent was fighting hackers seeking to take over her digital cash start-up Krypton - a services firm based around a variant of Bitcoin's underlying technology, the blockchain.
Ms Kent and her coding team had just recovered from one attack and had seen early signs that another was under way.
"We were hit by the hurricane during the second attack," she says.
Then, the savage storm knocked the power out.
"That really didn't help," she says.
Undeterred, Ms Kent decamped to a local convenience store, plugged in her laptop and got back to work battling the hackers.
Krypton defeated them by drawing on some rarely-used features in the blockchain code which helped to thwart the attempted takeover. But that was not before the bad guys got away with virtual Krypton cash worth about $6,000 (Â£4,900).
Ms Kent wasn't alone in getting hit. A similar attack, probably by the same group, was used against a separate crypto-currency start-up called Swift.
"There are a lot of malicious actors in crypto-currency right now," says Ms Kent. "It's the gunslinger era."
The amounts of money involved might be small but the attacks signal a growing interest by hackers in fledgling firms seeking to build businesses around blockchains and digital currencies.
That is troubling given the current fever of interest in the blockchain. Many see it as the element of the Bitcoin crypto-currency that will have lasting influence.
Visa has announced plans to launch a blockchain payments service in 2017, central banks are investigating the technology and many finance firms are keen to use it to keep track of the deals they do.
The blockchain is the open accounting system underpinning Bitcoin. It involves large networks of computers working together to do the complicated cryptography-based maths that verifies who spent which bitcoins and where they spent them.
For a well-established virtual currency such as Bitcoin,...

Article: Brian Irvine is among eight winners who have each picked up Â£50,000 from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
A musician, composer and conductor, Mr Irvine was named as music laureate for Belfast in December 2014.
He is one of three composers from the UK to receive an award in 2015, while the other five recipients are visual artists.
Earlier this year, his opera 'LovegolfLove', written with playwright Owen McCafferty, was performed in Newcastle during the Irish Open.
A former associate composer with the Ulster Orchestra, his work has been performed at festivals across the globe.
He has worked with a number of local organisations, as well as with prisoners, schoolchildren and marching bands, and was responsible for the Northern Ireland concert as part of the cultural Olympiad which accompanied the 2012 Olympic Games.
His forthcoming compositions include No Comply, a musical installation involving skateboarders which is due to be unveiled in March 2016.
Mr Irvine said the award would allow him to work harder and develop more projects.
"It equips me with an opportunity and a financial infrastructure that quadruples my ambition and desire to make the most exciting, engaging, confusing, connecting, ridiculous and beautiful work I can imagine," he added.
The Hamlyn Foundation Award provides financial assistance for artists and composers to develop their careers.
The award winners were announced in London on Thursday, at an event which included a speech by novelist Jeanette Winterson.

Article: The peer told the BBC Labour faced an "existential threat" and was "anything other than a government in waiting".
He also took a swipe at the system used to elect Mr Corbyn, describing it as "bizarre and unacceptable".
Lord Warner has insisted he will not defect to another party.
Labour sources told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg the resignation was "ego-driven" and Lord Prescott said Lord Warner was "no great loss".
Lord Warner served in Tony Blair's government and was made health minister in 2003, before leaving government in 2007.
In his resignation letter to Mr Corbyn, first reported in the Guardian, he wrote that he had resigned the Labour whip in the Lords and cancelled his party membership after concluding Mr Corbyn was "highly unlikely" to win back lost Labour voters.
"I have watched for some time the declining quality of the Labour Party's leadership but had not expected the calamitous decline achieved in 2015," he wrote.
In a direct attack on Mr Corbyn, who won an overwhelming victory in the Labour leadership contest after the party's general election defeat, he added: "The approach of those around you and your own approach and policies is highly likely to worsen the decline in the Labour Party's credibility."
He said he feared for Labour's future if Mr Corbyn's "supporting activists secure ever greater control of the party's apparatus and processes".
Lord Warner added: "Labour will only win another election with a policy approach that wins back people who have moved to voting Conservative and UKIP, as well as to the Greens and SNP. Your approach is highly unlikely to achieve this shift."
Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, Lord Warner suggested Labour could be out of power for 15 years without a change in direction.
"If it doesn't change itself very rapidly indeed, it hasn't a hope in hell of winning an election in 2020 or indeed in 2025," he said.
"It has to understand why a large number of people chose to vote for four other parties on 7 May. It hasn't done that re-examination. I want...

Article: The West Midlands officer and two other men are being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Police said they were given "false and malicious information" suggesting an officer was to "be kidnapped as part of a terrorist plot".
West Midlands police were put on high alert because of the hoax.
The three Birmingham men are questioned by anti-terrorism and anti-corruption teams.
The 28-year-old officer at Birmingham West & Central Local Policing Unit has also been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office and misuse of police systems.
The other men, aged 25 and 31, are also being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
The force issued an alert to officers and staff after receiving the anonymous tip-off on 8 December last year.
It urged them to take extra precautions, including not wearing uniform during journeys to and from work.
"At a time when the national threat level was severe, the threat was considered credible and police acted swiftly to protect officers and police staff," a police spokesman said.
The three men are being questioned by detectives from West Midland Police's Anti-Corruption Unit, with support from the Counter Terrorism Unit.
A 31-year-old man, who was arrested on the day of the offence, was eliminated from inquiries and has been deported.
