Former Cheltenham boss Yates, 46, replaced John Gregory as Reds manager on a two-year deal in May 2015, but won only 13 of his 47 games in charge.
Crawley were bought by businessman Ziya Eren in March, who targeted reaching the Championship in eight to 10 years.
"The recent form and performance of the team suggests change is needed," a club statement said.
"The board will be interviewing potential candidates in the next few days to make the right appointment to move the club forward.
"The days and weeks ahead will determine the right path for the club."
Crawley's recent poor run of form has seen them slide to 18th in the table, but they are 12 points clear of the relegation zone with two games left to play this season. | Crawley Town have parted company with manager Mark Yates and assistant Jimmy Dack following six successive defeats. | 36132455 |
"I would go to download important Supreme Court judgements, and pornographic adverts would pop up instead. And when I looked around, I saw rows of children surfing porn openly without a care in the world," says Mr Vaswani, 43, a quiet man with a probing look.
He says he went to the local court and discussed it with his colleagues. "They were also saying that porn was everywhere around us. Something had to be done about it."
What shook him up further, he says, was the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old Indian student in Delhi in December 2012. The attack caused international outrage and prompted India to introduce stringent anti-rape laws.
Mr Vaswani had been in Delhi on some work on the day of the incident, and he says he felt "guilty" that he couldn't do anything to avert the crime. He believed that the attackers must have been watching porn.
"Why are the youth failing India? Because they are drowning in porn," he says.
He also believes that India's GDP could be increased if people were discouraged from watching porn. "People watch porn, and become selfish. They don't want to give back to the nation," he says.
Three winters ago, Mr Vaswani began writing a public interest petition to the Supreme Court, making a controversial case for a ban on Internet porn. Confined to home to look after his ailing father, he wrote up the 200-page, 20,000-word plea on his laptop in a month's time.
The top court - to his surprise, he says - admitted the petition and heard it on April 2013.
Since then, Mr Vaswani's petition has acquired a life of its own: earlier in August, it was responsible for the government's rather ham-handed decision to block free access to 857 porn sites, which was swiftly lifted following outrage over the move. Mr Vaswani has attended nearly 20 hearings related to the case in a little more than two years.
The petition seeks a ban on all sites showing porn, and calls for "new, exhaustive anti-pornography laws".
Mr Vaswani's petition says that pornography is "worse than Hitler, worse than Aids, cancer or any epidemic. It is more catastrophic than nuclear holocaust, and it must be stopped".
Many would call the petition's words extreme - or paranoid. And many in India have argued against a ban on pornography - arguing that this would restrict civil liberties.
However, Mr Vaswani is adamant that pornography makes people selfish and unproductive.
His petition also argues that watching porn "puts the country's security in danger, encourages violent acts, unacceptable behaviour in society, exploitation of children and lowers the dignity of women".
Mr Vaswani, the son of a government worker and a homemaker mother, grew up in a middle-class joint family. He went to two schools, including a convent.
He says he failed to clear the highly competitive medical examinations five times, dashing his hopes of becoming a doctor. He then moved between various career choices: he picked up a degree in science, wanted to pick up one in arts, and then settled for a career in law. He has been a practising lawyer for more than a decade now.
I met Mr Vaswani at his home in Indore, an unkempt city, bristling with shops and lawyers.
He lives with his teacher wife and his school-going son in an austere two-bedroom apartment in a grotty, 35-year-old multi-storeyed building. The pale pink walls of the sitting room were adorned with a religious painting and another of his guru, while a book on criminal law and the Hindu holy book Bhagvad Gita lay on a small bed flanked by a TV set.
Mr Vaswani describes himself as "an ordinary lawyer".
"I am grateful to the top court for admitting my petition. My next public interest litigation will demand cheap and affordable treatment for cancer," he says. It is a tribute to his father who died of cancer last year.
Mr Vaswani has been joined by some fellow travellers in his journey to banish porn.
One of them is Atul Gupta, a 40-year-old electronics engineer and an alumnus of the prestigious Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science, who lives near Delhi. Mr Gupta has been going to schools and people's homes for years installing filters and blocking porn sites. Last year, after reading about Mr Vaswani's petition in the papers, he got in touch with him and offered him help, telling him that the technology was available to block sites.
"I think porn is like drugs. It needs to be banned," says Mr Gupta.
Then there is Suresh Shukla, a 37-year-old chemical engineer from top engineering school Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), who now runs a company based in the holy town of Varanasi selling anti-pornography solutions and filters.
He provided the list of 857 "high traffic, verified sites" to the government, which led to the sites being blocked briefly. The number of sites classed as porn by his company has now swelled to more than 200,000, he says.
At his company, he says, women researchers and employees "enjoy the veto power" over men, in categorising certain "non-explicit" sites like joke and cartoon sites, as porn. "This is not about Mr Vaswani, this is about a larger battle," he says.
Last week, the government told the Supreme Court at a hearing of Mr Vaswani's petition that although child pornography must be banned, "we cannot be present in everyone's bedroom".
Was this a setback to his campaign, I asked.
"Not at all. The government is trying to divert the issue and make it one about invasion of privacy. This is not about privacy, this is about saving India," he said, sounding confident.
"I am confident that the court will overrule objections and ban porn."
I asked him whether he was being too optimistic.
"It will happen sooner than you think," he said. "Maybe in four-five months." | On his many trips to Internet cafes in the bustling central Indian city of Indore, lawyer Kamlesh Vaswani discovered what he calls the "epidemic" of pornography. | 33955916 |
Now scientists think they know what causes one of life's knotty problems.
They found the force of a foot striking the ground stretches and then relaxes the knot, while a second force caused by the leg swinging acts on the ends of the laces, like an invisible hand.
The researchers say an understanding of shoelaces can be applied to other structures, such as DNA.
Using a slow-motion camera and a series of experiments, mechanical engineers at University California Berkeley found "shoelace knot failure" happens in a matter of seconds, triggered by a complex interaction of forces.
Lead researcher Christopher Daily-Diamond said: "When you talk about knotted structures, if you can start to understand the shoelace, then you can apply it to other things, like DNA or microstructures, that fail under dynamic forces.
"This is the first step toward understanding why certain knots are better than others, which no one has really done."
The study began with co-author and graduate student Christine Gregg lacing up a pair of running shoes and jogging on a treadmill while a colleague filmed what happened next.
They found that when running, your foot strikes the ground at seven times the force of gravity.
Responding to that force, the knot stretches and then relaxes.
As the knot loosens, the swinging leg applies an inertial force on the free ends of the laces, leading to rapid unravelling in as little as two strides.
Ms Gregg said: "To untie my knots, I pull on the free end of a bow tie and it comes undone.
"The shoelace knot comes untied due to the same sort of motion.
"The forces that cause this are not from a person pulling on the free end but from the inertial forces of the leg swinging back and forth while the knot is loosened from the shoe repeatedly striking the ground."
Scientists conducted tests with a variety of different laces.
But while some laces might be better than others for tying knots, they all suffered from the same fundamental cause of knot failure, the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A, found.
Ms Gregg added: "The interesting thing about this mechanism is that your laces can be fine for a really long time and it's not until you get one little bit of motion to cause loosening that starts this avalanche effect leading to knot failure." | You put on your shoes, tie them as firmly as possible, but soon after the laces come undone. | 39573642 |
Speaking to a packed audience at his annual dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Soros said he was confident Mr Trump's powers would be limited by Congress.
"He won't be able to get away [with being a dictator]," he added.
Ultimately, Mr Soros said he expected Mr Trump to fail.
"The ideas that guide him are fundamentally contradictory. He has three chiefs of staff instead of one and his cabinet are very fragmented and fighting with each other," he said.

Mr Soros has been unrelentingly critical of Mr Trump since his shock election victory, and the pair have a history of friction.
During the 2016 campaign, Mr Soros donated around $10m to Trump rival Hillary Clinton.
The hedge fund manager, who initially became famous for having made $1bn by betting on the devaluation of the pound in 1992, is reported to have lost close to $1bn after the stock market rallied following Mr Trump's win.
Mr Soros attributed the rise in the markets to Mr Trump's pledge to cut regulation and taxes, but said when Mr Trump takes office - in under 24 hours - "reality will prevail".
He also said that it's impossible to predict exactly how Mr Trump will act because he hadn't expected to win, and had only started thinking seriously about what he would do after he was elected.
He also warned that Mr Trump would also divide the US further.
"Anyone who disagrees with him is not part of the people," he says.
Asked what advice, he would give to businesses preparing for the impact of the new presidency, he said, "I'd keep as far away from it as I can."

For a start, we can't live without it, for very obvious reasons.
But it also underpins pretty much every activity we pursue in life - not just in our everyday lives, but in growing food, energy production and industry both large and small-scale.
Water is also unique in that it's pretty much indestructible - unlike most resources, it doesn't break down when heated up, but evaporates, constantly changing form to be transported to another place at another time.
As Betsy Otto, global director at the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Water Programme, says, "the water we drink today dropped off the nose of Tyrannosaurus rex".
This may help explain why this most precious of resources is free. For despite being incomparably more precious than any amount of gold, platinum or diamond, in most places on Earth water holds practically no financial value whatsoever.
But water can no longer be seen as an infinite resource as shortages become ever more commonplace across the world.
Unprecedented population growth, allied with greater wealth leading to far more water-intensive meat consumption; climate change causing more erratic weather and extreme droughts; and pollution are all putting a huge strain on finite water reserves.
So much so that more than a billion people currently live in water scarce regions, according to the WRI, a number that could grow to 3.5 billion by 2025. Indeed demand for water is projected to rise by 40% in the next 20 years.
To make matters worse, food and clothing production has in recent years moved increasingly to areas of water shortages - typically developing countries that have welcomed the opportunity to establish industries, creating jobs and wealth.
Indeed water and its delivery are often cheapest in the parts of the world where it is most scarce.
As Richard Mattison, head of environmental research group Trucost, says: "If jeans were made in Denmark, fine. But they're not, they're produced in parts of the world that suffer from severe water stress."
Clearly something has to give.
"We are in a race to the bottom, as if there were no supply limitations," says Ms Otto. "That needs to change. We need to understand that we are out of balance and that there are very serious risks."
But the message is starting to get through.
There has been a "sea change in the last five years, led by forward looking companies", says Ms Otto, particularly in the clothing, food and drink industries.
SABMiller is just one such company. As Andre Fourie, its head of water security and environmental value, puts it, "no water, no beer!"
Acutely aware of risks to the business of water stress in the countries in which it produces - including India, Nigeria, Peru and South Africa - the UK brewer decided eight years ago to calculate its water footprint, and claims to be the first consumer goods company to do so.
It found that 90% of its water use came from growing the ingredients for its beer, such as barley and hops, rather than the actual water used to make the beer itself.
It resolved to cut its own water use by 20% by 2015, a target that was met "a little early". It now uses on average 3.5 litres of water to produce a litre of beer, and the company has set a target of just three litres by 2020.
But it also resolved to address the wider risks of water shortages in its supply chain, for example speaking to local mining companies and farmers outside of Lima, Peru, to reduce pollution and fertiliser run-off into local rivers.
And addressing these risks is not cheap. Such are the scale of the long and short-term risks to the overall business, the company is prepared to spend serious amounts of money to secure not just its supply of water, but its quality as well.
SAB typically spends $500,000 in each locality it operates, which may be home to just one brewery.
US clothing giant Levi Strauss, best know for its jeans, is another leader in water conservation.
Five years ago, understanding that water was a "critical" issue for its business, the company initiated a drive to reduce water use in its supply chain without compromising quality.
It is now using 96% less water in making a pair of jeans - far less than the industry average of 11,000 litres.
Actions like these will "reduce operational and reputational risk, [help] manage costs and generate growth through product innovation", says Michael Kobori, vice president of sustainability.
This initiative has saved not only one billion litres of water, but also energy consumption, and it has translated into a costs saving of 4 cents (2.8p) per pair of jeans.
Elsewhere, the consumer goods giant Unilever and the carmaker Volkswagen have spent several hundred thousand dollars on planting trees to secure their water supplies in Africa and South America.
The coffee giant Starbucks has committed millions of dollars to protect the water supply to its coffee plantations in Mexico and Indonesia.
Microsoft is even experimenting at vast expense with putting data centres under the ocean off the coast of California in a bid to reduce the water needed for cooling.
There are numerous, very real threats to water supplies for corporations the world over, primarily in agriculture, energy, utilities, IT and mining, but also in food and drink, clothing, consumer goods, retailing and beyond.
The great unknown is whether, one day, water itself rather than the delivery of it will be priced to reflect its uniquely important role in the global economy and to the human race.
Some argue that as a basic human right a price can never be put on accessing water; others that it is an unavoidable necessity.
A precedent has already been set in California and in the Murray Darling Basin in Australia, where water trading systems have been used successfully to reduce water use dramatically in times of drought.
If such schemes became widespread, the consequences for the corporate world would be dramatic.
Indeed research by Trucost suggests that more than half of the profits of the world's biggest companies would be at risk if water was priced to reflect its value.

The Chicago-born star told Chris Evans on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show "the seed was planted" to take part when she sang on the show last year.
Despite admitting she could not dance, the singer said was "game" to take part, but had done "absolutely nothing" to prepare.
The new series begins in September.
Olly Murs and Rebecca Ferguson are to perform on the launch show, broadcast on 3 September, it has been confirmed.
The 15 celebrity contestants will find out on the show which professional dancer they have been matched with.
When she was asked if she wanted to appear on Strictly as a contestant, Anastacia said she replied: "I'd stink - do you really want me on the show?"
"I'm serious," the 47-year-old told Evans. "I'm not lying about it at all. I just finished 62 dates on tour so I'm really good at rhythm and sidestepping - as far as to my own music. But… uh oh."
When Evans said it was "fantastic" the singer would be on Strictly, she replied: "You say it's fantastic now - you haven't seen me dance yet."
The singer said she had a "slew of health issues" - including Crohn's disease, breast cancer and a heart condition - joking: "I'm ticking them off, honey."
She added of the dancing series: "I did it because I wanted to challenge myself on something that had nothing to do with a hospital."
Speaking on the Strictly website, the singer said: "After my double mastectomy, it stripped away a part of me that I feel I would like to find again.
"This opportunity has come at a perfect time to help me use and get to know my upper body again."
She added she was most looking forward to dancing the Salsa because she thinks she has "a 28-year-old Latina trapped inside" her body.
Anastacia shot to international fame in 2000 with her debut song I'm Outta Love, which she performed on the Strictly Blackpool special last year.
BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty, politician Ed Balls, model Daisy Lowe, former Hollyoaks actor Danny Mac, Kiss FM DJ Melvin Odoom, singers Louise Redknapp and Will Young; and presenters Ore Oduba and Laura Whitmore are the other confirmed celebrity contestants on the show.

Police were considering charging Sheikh Khalid Hamad Al-Thani with reckless driving and other offences before he - and his cars - disappeared.
The Thani family rule Qatar, but it is unclear whether Sheikh Al-Thani is part of the Arab state's royal family.
A video shows his yellow Ferrari racing a white Porsche down residential streets, passing a stop sign.
The video ends with the Ferrari's engine smoking as the sports car pulls into a driveway in the affluent section of Los Angeles.
Sheikh Al-Thani has been dubbed the "patron sheikh" of drag racing, according to the Los Angeles Times.
He has given millions to Al-Anabi Racing, and has been photographed driving on racetracks a number of times.
Police said the cars in the video were driving recklessly.
However, officers who arrived to find the cars in the drive were unable to make an arrest or issue a citation as they hadn't witnessed the incident.
Investigators have connected Al-Thani to the car, but they are yet to confirm whether he was driving either vehicle as the drivers' faces weren't clear in footage or pictures.
The footage drew further attention after police said someone involved claimed diplomatic immunity.
Lieutenant Lincoln Hoshino, a spokesman for the Beverly Hills police, said the car was not registered with the State Department to be brought into the US.
Mr Hoshino also stated that it was unlikely the man had diplomatic immunity.
"It's against a federal law for someone to claim diplomatic immunity when they don't have it, so we're looking at that and then we're also looking at the reckless driving," Beverly Hills Police Chief Dominick Rivetti told reporters.
Beverly Hills authorities said that they may look to prosecute those involved, and that the Qatari consulate has been contacted.

Independent experts are looking at bids from Cardiff and Swansea to become major trauma centres (MTC).
There are 27 MTCs operating in England but none in Wales.
The absence of a similar set-up in Wales has been called "embarrassing" with claims it is falling behind other developed countries.
Survival rates in England have improved significantly since a major trauma care network was established over the past seven years.
What is a Major Trauma Centre?
Now, after years of discussion, a significant milestone in establishing a major trauma network in south Wales will be reached within weeks.
The University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff (UHW) and Morriston Hospital in Swansea are vying to become south Wales' MTC.
Over the past month a panel of experts outside Wales has been assessing both bids.
A recommendation to NHS Wales is imminent although it may still be many months a before a decision is reached.
The preferred option will go out to consultation and if no agreement can be reached, the final decision could rest with the health secretary.
Dr Melissa Rossiter, consultant in emergency medicine and clinical lead for major trauma at Cardiff and Vale health board said: "It's actually embarrassing to be part of a system that doesn't have regionalised network in major trauma care and Wales is getting left behind the rest of the modern world."
She said hospitals which developed better major trauma management also learnt new skills and approaches which could benefit other specialities.
Prof Ian Pallister, consultant and major trauma lead at Morriston, added: "The odds of survival since they were established in England up to 30% higher now than at the beginning.
"There's every reason we can make the same gains."
Tim Havard, director of the Royal College of Surgeons in Wales, said it was about ensuring patients got "prompt, high class care irrespective of where they have been injured".
However, he added: "Progress in planning for major trauma in south Wales has been too slow and clarity regarding which hospital will develop the MTC is now necessary."
What about north Wales?
It is already arguably better served than south Wales as badly injured patients are taken to the MTC in Stoke. The same formal arrangement applies for parts of mid Wales.
But given the expertise required - and the fact major trauma cases are rare - it is unlikely north Wales would be able to sustain its own MTC.
Major trauma survivor
Sarah Williams, 28, survived a car crash in Monmouthshire in 2015 which left her unconscious with a serious head injury.
Wales Air Ambulance, with a doctor on board, was able to by-pass nearer hospitals so she could get initial specialist care in Cardiff. She was also treated later in Newport.
It was an illustration of how a major trauma network might work.

The 14-year-old was walking with a friend along Stenhouse Crescent at about 19:35 on Monday when they were approached from behind by a man.
He assaulted one of the girls before running back towards Stenhouse Gardens.
The man is possibly in his 30s, between 5ft 8ins and 5ft 10ins, of slim to medium build and was wearing all black clothing including shoes.
He was wearing trousers, a hooded top and a woollen hat.

"We are yet to speak to this woman and so I'm appealing for her to come forward and speak to us.
"I also want to speak to anyone who may have seen the man in the area before or after the assault, he was on foot and may have been running along Stenhouse Crescent or the surrounding streets.

Declan Wade, from High Park in the city, and his partner Paula Marie Gillespie, from St Cecelia's Walk, Derry, were given suspended sentences.
The drugs were found during a search of Gillespie's home on 24 May last year.
The judge said the couple intended to supply the drugs to a group of their friends who were attending a concert.
He said both had different roles to play in supplying the ecstasy.
The court hear mobile phones belonging to the couple were seized and analysed and were found to contain numerous incoming and outgoing messages referring to several illegal drugs.
In addition to the ecstasy charge, 29-year-old Wade was also charged with possessing cocaine, cannabis and diazepam tablets.
The pair pleaded guilty to the charges and were both given a nine-month sentence, suspended for three years.
The judge said that he accepted the defendants were drugs-free and that, based on reports from the probation and social services, it would not be in the public interest to send the couple to jail.

Cech's save from Oumar Niasse at 0-0 was crucial, bearing in mind the reputation of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is at stake. Another save by Cech from the same player in the second half was just as important and for the same reason. In these circumstances, when fans are exerting pressure on the manager, it's vital that players respond in a manner that alleviates that pressure.
Cech and Alexis Sanchez have the ability to do that, but what about the rest? Precisely what Kieran Gibbs was doing impeding Lazar Markovic when he was the last line of defence I don't know - it could have spelt disaster for Wenger. Down to 10 men at that stage of the game? If ever there was a moment when the entire match could have blown up in Wenger's face then that was it.
Cech displayed (and Sanchez for that matter) that not only can he cope with real pressure but he can be relied upon not to freeze at critical moments. A valuable asset to have in a crisis.
Those of you who partake in social media (I don't) might know I was on a train from Manchester to London and spent longer than normal (because of a delay) talking to a number of Manchester United fans. They seemed reasonably satisfied with the win against a very dangerous Watford and after a little more probing they suggested that Eric Bailly might be a candidate for my team of the week.
Taken aback by this level of impertinence and their intrusion into my team of the week, I thought I would make further enquiries about Bailly's performance to see if they had a case! I must say I don't normally take fans' comments seriously - but in this instance they were spot on.
My problem with Bailly is he goes into tackles at such speed he leaves no margin for error and always appears to run the risk of being cautioned or dismissed. That said, the boys I spoke to on the train were right - Bailly was composed on the ball and measured in the tackle against Watford. It's always a pleasure talking to genuine football fans who actually know their stuff.
This was by no means a straightforward fixture for league leaders Chelsea but a massive point nevertheless. If the Blues were not on top of their game this was a match they could have easily lost. As it happens, Burnley were restricted to one chance largely because of the positioning expertise of David Luiz, who only made one mistake in the match.
Remember, Luiz is playing Premier League football, and has done for about three weeks, with a heavily strapped knee. The Brazilian is doing manager Antonio Conte an enormous service by remaining part of the set-up but not without some obvious discomfort in order to keep the back five intact.
Conte has grown to trust Luiz in the way Mourinho used to trust John Terry. Teams cannot win titles without players making sacrifices or, to put it bluntly, play with injuries. Luiz's performance against Burnley, under the circumstances, was immense.
What a volley! I must say that had it been a centre-forward who had scored such an immaculate goal I couldn't have given the striker higher praise. The reality is that Alfie Mawson is a centre-back and I can't remember seeing a defender finish quite like that.
What Paul Clement is doing at Swansea is quite remarkable. Their victory over Leicester was his third Premier League win in four games and underpins his January manager of the month award.
As for Leicester, I have said it before and I will say it again - that the spectre of the Champions League is providing a false sense of security. Manager Claudio Ranieri has woefully failed to get his priorities right, lived off the kudos of relative Champions League success and all at the expense of their Premier League survival. It's a dereliction of duty and he will pay the price.
I don't like playing players out of position but sometimes the occasion calls for it. Martin Olsson's performance against Leicester is one of those occasions. I watched Olsson play at Norwich under Chris Hughton and liked his performances. He seemed more than comfortable in the Premier League so I am not the least bit surprised he has returned to the top tier with Swansea.
He is clearly very comfortable on the ball and calm in front of goal. He absolutely hammered his shot past Kasper Schmeichel to put Swansea 2-0 up and condemn Leicester to a relegation dogfight for the rest of the season. The look on Claudio Ranieri's face at full-time said it all. He may have blown this.
It was N'Golo Kante - also known as 'the silent force' - who gave Eden Hazard the first clear chance of the game against Burnley and also the man who started the counter attack that resulted in Pedro's opener for Chelsea. Basically, Kante continues to provide the Blues with the steel required to repel any threat to their title challenge.
For periods in the second half Burnley became that challenge - and it took all of Kante's ingenious play to keep the Clarets at bay.
As a consequence, Chelsea gained a point they might have otherwise lost and in doing so retained the momentum and increased their lead at the top of the table.
This gentleman is one of the most professional players I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I interviewed him when he was a Chelsea player before he was shown the door by Jose Mourinho and sold to Manchester United - only for the man who flogged him to United to follow him to Old Trafford.
You think at this point it's only a matter of time before Mourinho moves Mata on once more. Not only does Mourinho mess the Spaniard about with tactical substitutions that only he understands - and at moments in the game that seem insignificant - Mata always seems to rise above it.
It has got to the stage where not only has Mata displayed remarkable professionalism, he is now playing as well for United as he did when Mourinho decided to sell him at Chelsea - which rather suggests to me that he has become saleable again and therefore may be the first in Mourinho's cull come the end of the season. Watch this space.
This lad has lovely quality on the ball. A defender's first priority is to defend but it makes all the difference if he can deliver quality balls into the box for strikers to attack and defenders to fear. Ryan Bertrand set up Southampton's first goal and created the third, all because he has quality on the ball and therefore is not afraid to put his ability on the line, by getting in positions that will expose him if he hasn't got what it takes.
Bertrand has come a long way since his days at Chelsea dreaming of being the next Ashley Cole. By leaving Stamford Bridge for Southampton, the England international has done something far more rewarding than that - he's actually found himself, which is far more worthwhile than trying to be someone else.
I don't know what it is about Spurs and Anfield but they have only won there eight times in 81 league visits. What's that about? The person responsible on this occasion for continuing Tottenham's dismal record against Liverpool was Sadio Mane.
The Senegal international, fresh from the Africa Cup of Nations, could have scored four goals and should have scored a hat-trick in six minutes. Suddenly, the team with one of the best defensive records in the league looked like a unit that had never played together before.
However, it was the honesty of Mauricio Pochettino that made me think that Spurs still have the desire to finish in the top two. "We started only four points above Liverpool, but we didn't look like that today," said the more than slightly irritated Argentine.
Spurs fans can forget league titles if their team can't go to Anfield and get a result… Chelsea did.
Boy, do I like this striker. His goal last week against West Ham made me sit up and take notice but his two against a battered Sunderland were moments of predatory genius. Make no mistake, if Gabbiadini doesn't get a touch on the ball that comes off Lamine Kone's head the ball doesn't enter the net.
However, his second goal was sensational and reminiscent of his Italian countryman Filippo Inzaghi at his best. There is so much about Gabbiadini's game that reminds me of Inzaghi - not least his finishing.
Meanwhile, there is something very troubling about Sunderland's inability to capture the momentum they created after their victory over Crystal Palace last week. The Black Cats looked like they were caught in the headlights waiting for the inevitable to happen - and it did of course. The bench looked more disillusioned than the team.
Is Alexis Sanchez keeping Arsene Wenger in a job? If Arsenal had lost to Hull at home, (in light of recent results) and they could have if not for Petr Cech in goal and Sanchez up front, the calls for Wenger's departure might have become unbearable.
Sanchez and Cech are the only two consistent performers in a team full of ability and short on bottle. I've already sung Cech's praises but Sanchez seems like the only outfield player at Arsenal that actually appears to want to win something and not just settle for fourth spot.
The Champions League comes into view this week and I'm not entirely sure if that's a help or a hindrance for the Gunners. What is clear is that Arsenal need to keep Sanchez whatever happens. Anything that can be done to achieve that will probably save Wenger from any further criticism. | Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw at Burnley but still moved 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League, while Liverpool climbed to fourth after beating second-placed Tottenham 2-0. | 38946784 |
"My fifth album from now will follow 21. There's nothing I can do about it."
In her forthcoming interview with Graham Norton, to be screened on BBC One this Friday, she admits she nearly gave up music altogether.
"I just got really worried that I was never going to make anything that anyone liked again."
"I started to wonder if 21, being so successful, was enough for everyone," she says. "But I realised it wasn't enough for me. So, sorry, I'm here to make your ears bleed again."
So how does 25 shape up? Well, your ears won't bleed, but your tear ducts are going to get a workout.
It opens with the enormous, bombastic Hello - already a million-seller, but by far the most Adele-by-numbers track on the record.
When We Were Young is the real centrepiece, and a future standard. A soaring anthem about a chance meeting with an ex, it achieves the same intoxicating balance between regret and hope as Someone Like You, without sounding like a facsimile.
"You look like a movie, you sound like a song," she sings to her former flame. "My God, this reminds me of when we were young."
With that lyric, Adele introduces the record's key theme - her uneasy acceptance of adulthood.
"I feel like my life is flashing by - and all I can do is watch and cry," she sings on the mournful guitar ballad Million Years Ago. "I miss when life was a party to be thrown - but that was a million years ago."
Getting older also allows the star to re-examine her past relationships - but the angry, heartbroken woman who wrote 21 is now in a more reflective mood.
On Send My Love (To Your New Lover), she trills: "I'm giving you up. I'm forgiving it all. Send my love to your new lover... Treat her better."
A nimble pop song, produced by Taylor Swift and Britney Spears's hitman Max Martin, its playground chant of a chorus shows a fresh, playful side to the star.
We also get our first glimpse of Adele in seduction mode on I Miss You - a submerged, sparse groove, over which the singer purrs: "Treat me soft but touch me cruel. I want to teach you things you never knew."
Those two tracks, in particular, find the 27-year-old reinvigorated and willing to deviate from formula - and it's no accident they're programmed as the second and third tracks on the record.
Other highlights include the swampy River Lea, produced by Danger Mouse, and the closing track, Sweetest Devotion, in which Adele finally finds an unshakeable love: Her three-year-old son, Angelo ("There is something in your loving that tears down my walls," she sings, adoringly).
Despite emergency surgery in 2012, the star's vocals are undiminished, conveying sorrow, joy, sincerity and warmth, often in the space of a single phrase. And the A-list hitmakers who populate the record wisely build the songs around her presence.
Not every track is perfect - Water Under The Bridge throws half a dozen overlapping hooks at the wall, only to find none of them sticks - but, overall, the record is a worthy successor to 21.
Unlike Michael Jackson, who spent his career chasing the success of Thriller, Adele has avoided the temptation to make a "grand statement" with her follow-up.
Instead, she sounds relaxed, conversational and inspired, on a set of songs that come straight from the heart.
25 is released on Friday, 20 November, on XL Recordings. | "Every album I'm ever going to write is always going to be following 21," Adele told the BBC last month, as she announced her long-awaited comeback. | 34833655 |
Tries early in the second half by full-back Matthew Morgan and wing Alex Cuthbert put the Blues in control after a tight opening 40 minutes.
A much-changed Bath side put up a fight in the first half but had only Tom Homer's penalty to show for it against three by Steven Shingler.
Scott Andrews' late opportunist try emphasised Blues' superiority.
The win saw Blues open a five point lead at the top of Pool Four and they face Bath again on Thursday, 15 December at the Recreation Ground.
The Welsh region dominated the early stages with Shingler nailing two early kicks before Homer hit-back for Bath.
The under-strength English visitors had their chances, with England wing Semesa Rokoduguni going close.
Former Scarlets fly-half Shingler kicked a third penalty but another long-range effort fell short and Bath survived a Blues breakout led by Rey Lee-Lo and Alex Cuthbert which saw Josh Navidi hauled down just short of the try line on the stroke of half-time.
Blues head coach Danny Wilson said: "We've come of age a little bit in terms of maturity and game plan today.
"We've played a kicking game and fed off their loose kicks with Matthew Morgan, so it's a pleasing pleasing result in very difficult conditions at a time when we needed a win.
"We've taken a lot of criticism that we haven't defended well but that was a good shift today to hold that team to three points."

Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said the strike hit a training camp where a "large-scale" attack was being planned.
"We know they were going to be departing the camp and they posed an imminent threat to US and [African Union] forces," Captain Davis said.
"Initial assessments are that more than 150 terrorist fighters were eliminated," he added.
Mr Davis said the strike, by both drones and manned aircraft, took place on Saturday and targeted Raso Camp, a training facility about 120 miles (195km) north of the capital, Mogadishu.
The camp had been under surveillance for some time, according to Mr Davis. "There was a sense that the operational phase was about to happen," he said.
He said the group had neared the completion of specialist training to conduct "offensive operations", but did not give any details about the alleged plans.
Al-Shabab, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, was pushed out of Mogadishu by African Union peacekeeping forces in 2011 but has continued to launch frequent attacks in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government.
New questions for African force in Somalia
Who are al-Shabab?
The group has said it carried out a string of recent attacks including a twin bombing at a busy restaurant in the Somali city of Baidoa last month.
Also on Monday, the Australian navy said it had seized a huge cache of weapons on a fishing boat off the coast of Oman that was apparently heading for Somalia.
Grenade launchers, machine guns, and 2,000 assault rifles were concealed under fishing nets, a Navy spokesman said.
Crippling al-Shabab is top of a recently-announced US military strategy for Africa, which also includes addressing the situation in Libya and containing Boko Haram in West Africa. With drones from its nearby bases in neighbouring Djibouti, the US has succeeded in striking hard at the heart of al-Shabab operations, including killing Ahmed Godane, the leader of the jihadi group, in 2014.
The jihadis have since learned that they are often watched by surveillance aircraft and so they tend to meet under trees to avoid detection. This method has its limits, as this latest incident shows. They cannot train at will without being seen.
Al-Shabab maintains its determination to establish its rule over Somalia, hence its resilience and increasingly sophisticated attacks. The group is suspected to be behind an explosion at a security checkpoint at the Beledweyne airport which could have been more lethal had the explosives got aboard an airliner.

Tailin Lyngdoh, who is from Meghalaya state, was wearing the traditional Khasi tribal dress. She had gone to the Delhi Golf Club with her employer.
The staff asked her to leave because they said she looked "like a maid".
The club said the "incident could have been handled better" and are taking disciplinary action against staff.
"We have sought an explanation from the staff and disciplinary action is in process," the club said in a statement.
"An apology has been made to the member who had brought the guest. This has been unconditionally accepted," it added.
Reports said Ms Lyngdoh, who works as a governess for Dr Nivedita Barthakur Sondhi, visited the club on Sunday after they were invited by a member.
"Around 10-15 minutes after we arrived, the manager, Ajit Pal, accompanied by a woman, asked Ms Lyngdoh to leave the table and the room," Dr Sondhi was quoted by the Times of India as saying.
"When I asked them the reason, they said she looks like a maid. I asked them how they concluded that? They said she looks different, dresses like a servant and looks like a Nepalese. That was so humiliating. I wasn't ready to accept such discrimination," she added.
Dr Sondhi said she protested "as they were insulting a traditional dress of an Indian citizen. I also argued that her profession is immaterial as she has been invited as a guest by a member".
The apology came after many took to social media to criticise the club for being insensitive. | An elite Delhi club has apologised after its staff told a woman who turned up dressed in a traditional north-eastern Indian outfit to leave. | 40414991 |
Dundee midfielder Paul McGowan, 27, was arrested after an incident at a house in his home town of Airdrie in the early hours of 23 November 2014.
At Airdrie Sheriff Court, he admitted behaving in a threatening manner and assaulting PC Jamie White. Sentence was deferred and his bail continued.
McGowan was given a community sentence last year for an attack on police.
The latest attack happened after McGowan was arrested at a house in Airdrie's Wheatholm Street, less than 24 hours after he had played in Dundee's 2-1 defeat by Celtic at Celtic Park.
He also pled guilty to assaulting PC White by kicking him on the body at Coatbridge Police Office.
McGowan also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm.
The midfielder, who began his career with Celtic and also played for St Mirren, pled not guilty to another charge of resisting arrest and struggling with five other officers - a plea that was accepted by the Crown.
Sheriff Janice Scott deferred sentence on McGowan until next month and continued his bail.
The sheriff told McGowan: "You have a bit of a recent history and I will be calling for reports for sheriffs to consider sentence."
Last year, McGowan was given a non-custodial sentence for assaulting two police officers.
The then St Mirren player admitted kicking the two officers on the body in Airdrie and at Coatbridge police office on 11 August 2013.
He was told to carry out 130 hours of unpaid work and given a one-year supervision order. | A Scottish Premiership footballer has admitted kicking a police officer - his third conviction for police assault. | 31962928 |
Mr Davies outlined plans to cap the cost of residential care and allow people to keep more of their assets if they move into a care home.
His was the only party to rule out propping up another Labour government after May's assembly election, he said.
Later, David Cameron told party members that Wales could be a "powerhouse".
Describing the assembly poll as "the most important in a generation", Mr Davies made repeated references to Labour's UK leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying the party wanted to "take a trip down memory lane to the 1970s".
Mr Davies said the 2015 general election result - when the Tories won Gower and the Vale of Clwyd from Labour - showed there were enough Conservative votes in Wales to stop Labour keeping power in Cardiff Bay.
If they win the assembly election, the Tories say people will be able to keep £100,000 of their assets before paying to go into a care home.
The current limit is £24,000.
They would also cap the weekly cost of care at £400 - about £100 less than the current weekly average.
Mr Davies promised "a government that delivers dignity and security in old age".
He said the NHS was the party's top priority, accusing Labour of being "bad for your health".
Welsh Tories would increase spending on health over a five-year term, he said.
Under the Conservatives he promised: "No reorganisation, no hospital closures and never privatising our beloved NHS."
His speech promised that the Tories would use tax powers that are set to be devolved to the assembly to make Wales the UK's "low-tax capital".
However, there was no detail on how proposed tax cuts would be paid for.
His speech also did not mention the EU referendum on June 23 - Mr Davies has said he will vote to leave.
This was a far more structured speech from Andrew RT Davies than we have come to expect from a man who usually likes to veer off script.
As expected, the NHS was the dominant theme - he said it was the "single biggest challenge" facing Wales.
The pledge to cut income tax once it is devolved was described as a "game-changer" and a reason not to put Labour in charge.
Jeremy Corbyn was mentioned at least as many times as the first minister but on the whole I was expecting attacks on the UK Labour leader to play a far more central role.
What was new today was the pledge to cap residential care home fees at £400 a week and that people would be able to keep £100,000 of their assets before having to pay care home fees.
There was also a new tactical approach which was to stress that every vote counts - or that Labour was "only one seat away from losing control".
There was one glaring omission from the speech - not one mention of the EU referendum.
Mr Davies obviously wanted to use the speech as his platform to focus on devolved issues, but the failure to even talk about it once will leave him open to the "elephant in the room" accusation. | Elderly people would have "dignity and security" under Welsh Conservative rule, leader Andrew RT Davies has told his party conference in Llangollen. | 35772679 |
The information was requested under Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard's inquiry into alleged payments to public officials in return for information.
Vodafone blamed human error; the Met said the excess data was sent back.
News UK, formerly known as News International, is part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
Information was sought about the mobile phone data of one journalist working for the firm during 2005-07, using powers under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA).
But Vodafone sent more than 1,000 numbers to the police in March and the force informed Vodafone and the Interception of Communications Commissioner's Office about the error on 27 June.
A Vodafone spokesman said the company urged Scotland Yard to delete the data, and the Met said it had agreed to use the material only "for a policing purpose, when in the interests of justice to do so".
Vodafone said detectives returned the data in mid-October.
A spokesman for the mobile phone operator said: "Unfortunately, there was a human error during the processing of this information - which was drawn manually from a legacy system - as a consequence of which the Met Police were supplied with a corrupted dataset containing a significantly higher volume of metadata than had been the focus of the warrant received by Vodafone.
"The metadata in question relates to call logs and other information, such as pricing data, not the content or location of any communications."
The spokesman added that Vodafone wrote to the police to express its "grave concern that the police continued to retain the data released to them in error and made it clear to them that any assumption that meaningful conclusions could be drawn from any aspect of the corrupted dataset was highly questionable".
A police spokesman said: "The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) recognised the sensitivity of the excess data provided and ensured it was retained securely, until it was returned to Vodafone.
"The Metropolitan Police consulted with the Interception of Communications Commissioner's Office and the Information Commissioner on how this error should best be managed.
"The MPS agreed that it would only use the material for a policing purpose, when in the interests of justice to do so, and where people were already charged and facing criminal proceedings." | Vodafone sent phone data of more than 1,000 News UK staff to police who had asked for details of just one journalist, it has emerged. | 30203808 |
The England striker scored after two goals from Riyad Mahrez early in the second half had put the Foxes ahead.
Leicester dominated early on, but Salomon Rondon's near-post header gave West Brom the lead before the break.
Rickie Lambert's late penalty reduced the arrears but Leicester hung on for the win and remain unbeaten away from home so far this season.
The result and their fine run on the road pushed Claudio Ranieri's side into third place in the Premier League.
The home side had not conceded a goal in their last two outings and were on the back foot until Rondon's opener.
Mahrez's two goals in seven minutes provoked a strong reaction from West Brom, but Vardy's strike looked to have secured a comfortable win for Leicester.
Late substitute Lambert forced a save from close range in the dying seconds after grabbing his first goal since moving to The Hawthorns.
Minutes before he had extended his scoring streak, Vardy's participation in the rest of the game had looked in doubt.
The 28-year-old went down clutching his right ankle, and had extensive treatment on the pitch, but the magic sponge did the trick with his 11th goal of the season a few seconds later.
Leicester had forced the pace in the opening half-an-hour, with Vardy hitting the post after just seven minutes.
But they did not take several other chances, and West Brom made the most of their first real opportunity when Rondon's powerful header had too much on it for Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
West Brom's defence had held firm in their two previous outings, but they were caught napping by teasing crosses from Marc Albrighton from either side of the pitch for both of Mahrez's goals.
Vardy's pace had tested the home back line all afternoon, and he used it to good effect when slicing through to make it 3-1 to the visitors.
West Brom go to Old Trafford to face Manchester United next weekend, and follow that with a visit to Arsenal.
Leicester will look to build on their fine start to the season by hosting Watford, and follow this by a trip to St James' Park to take on Newcastle United.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "Leicester did really well, it was a good game and in Jamie Vardy they have an exceptional player. His pace frightened us all afternoon.

"But the referee should have given us a penalty and sent their man off. It shouldn't happen at this level - the standard of refereeing should be better.
"[Referees' chief] Mike Riley should be on the phone asking why we weren't given two penalties.

"I've had a go in the tunnel with him and I apologise about that. I should be writing my report but I do hope they look at it."
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "We fight to the end. We have a very strong character and play good football.
"I told my players they were playing very well at half-time, to be careful at set-plays, and it was important to move the ball quickly and put them under pressure. We did that well.
"It's important Jamie Vardy continues to work for the team. The record is good for everybody."

As the barrage lifted, bugles and whistles signalled as 100,000 men went over the top.
One of those was sounded by Drummer Jack Downs of the 36th Ulster Division.
A member of First Derry Presbyterian Church, he joined the 10th Battalion Inniskillings, Derry Volunteers, at the outbreak of the World War One.
In response to the bugle call the men left the trenches and rushed to the German frontline.
In the first two days of the battle, the 36th Ulster Division suffered almost 5,000 casualties and about 2,000 of those men were killed.
Downs' battalion had over 130 fatalities, but he would survive to fight another day.
When going on leave in November 1916, he was presented with his bugle by Colonel Macrory, who told him to have the following inscription engraved on it:
"On this bugle was sounded the famous charge of the Ulster Division on 1 July, 1916, at Thiepval, by Bugler J. Downs, 15486, 10th Inniskillings, also the retire for the raiding party who captured the machine-gun at Kemmel Hill on the night of the 30th September, 1916."
Drummer Downs' war continued, and he fought at Messines in June 1917, but he would not return home.
He was killed during the retreat from Cambrai in March 1918.
His iconic bugle is now part of a collection at the Inniskillings Museum.
It again sounded the advance at 07:30 on Friday, exactly 100 years after its call sent the men into battle, as part of a day of Somme centenary commemorations at Enniskillen Castle.
It was played by Portora Royal Grammar School pupil Stephen Humphries, who said it was "an honour".
"It was very different to a normal bugle - it's dented and it was very difficult to get the hang of - but it's very emotional as well as [Downs] was killed in action," he said.
"It's crazy, I'm only 17 and I don't know how schoolboys could just go off to war.
"It just doesn't seem normal at all to me."
Neil Armstrong, the curator of the Inniskillings Regimental Museum, said hearing the sound of the bugle was "very emotive".
"I suppose it's the one artefact within our collection that can speak," he said.
"Certainly medals and photographs and letters are very poignant but this is the exact sound that our relatives would have heard 100 years ago, and that's the most important thing and I think that's how we managed to link with that occasion."
Mr Armstrong, whose great grandfather served with the 11th Battallion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and was killed on the first day of the Somme, said he had mixed emotions during the commemoration.
"Right now as we have gone beyond zero hour, it must have been horrendous conditions for the Inniskillings," he said.
"We can't even contemplate what they were doing and how many, even by this stage, would already have made the ultimate sacrifice for the division." | On the morning of 1 July 1916, the guns fell silent, marking the end of a seven-day Allied bombardment of the German trenches at the Somme. | 36684746 |

James says Bradley has been put in an unfair position.
"He is an honourable man left high and dry to answer every question that has been put to him," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"I would ask a serious question to the two owners and the chief executive - where have you been in support of your manager?
"Because you've been deafening with their silence and that's what frightens me most of all.
"Never once in the difficult 11 games that Bob's had, never once has any of those people actually come out and supported Bob.
"I can't remember a comment by any of the three of them.
"He's their man, obviously, because nobody thought about him before he came in."

The wife, one of three of Bin Laden's wives held after Monday's raid, said she had not ventured outside one room over that time, the official added.
The official said 13 children had also been recovered from the compound.
Bin Laden was killed in a US special forces raid on the compound late on Sunday.
He was believed to have been the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and many others.
The senior Pakistani military official, who asked not to be named, said they had detained Bin Laden's three wives, one of who was Yemeni, after the operation by US special forces in Abbottabad.
"She [the Yemeni-born wife] told us that she came out of that room after five years and that her husband was with her during that duration," the senior official said.
He did not clarify whether the wife had said that Bin Laden had stayed in the compound continuously like her, or ventured out.
She told officials she was shot during the raid and fell unconscious, and that at that point, Bin Laden had been alive.
She said that later on, her daughter had told her she had witnessed her father being shot.

The Labor senator was heavily criticised for allowing the Yuhu Group to pay for a legal bill in late 2014.
He also admitted asking a Chinese government-linked group to pay a personal travel debt of A$1,670 ($1,280; £956).
The payments were first reported by Australia's Fairfax media.
There is now an investigation into whether the New South Wales senator broke federal and state political party rules.
"It is clear that the ongoing examination of my behaviour is taking attention away from bigger issues facing Australia and Australians," he told a news conference on Wednesday.
"I made a mistake and I'm paying the price".

The midfielder fired in off the bar midway through the second half moments after Rob Hall hit the Millwall post.
Earlier, Millwall's Lee Gregory saw a penalty appeal turned down and Angel Martinez volleyed wide from six yards before the break.
The Lions have one win in eight and sit 20th, six places and three points behind Bolton.
Wanderers' latest win included a fourth-straight clean sheet and maintained their impressive run of form since Neil Lennon became manager on 12 October.
Since then, they have jumped from bottom spot in the table to 14th with just two defeats in 11 games.
At The Den, their victory was richly deserved as though Millwall rallied late on, the Trotters managed 14 shots to their hosts' eight.
Eidur Gudjohnsen was handed a first start for Bolton since 2000 after agreeing a return until the end of the season.
His team-mates Pratley and Tim Ream worked home goalkeeper David Forde in the early exchanges, either side of a glorious opening for Gregory, who shot wide of the Bolton goal after collecting a long ball.
Magaye Gueye fed Andy Wilkinson to deliver accurately for Martinez to miss the target with his volley before the break, but it was moments after the restart when the game's contentious moment arrived.
Again it was Gregory - the matchwinner in Millwall's 1-0 win at Brighton last week - who tested the visiting defence and he appeared to be pulled down by Bolton goalkeeper Andy Lonergan but referee Stuart Attwell waved away appeals.
If given, the penalty would likely have seen the keeper sent off but his side capitalised when Pratley raced on to Chung-Yong Lee's pass to steady himself and fire a second goal of the season.
Lonergan denied Martyn Woolford with a smart save in the closing stages as Bolton held on for a second away win of the season. | Bolton extended their unbeaten run to seven games with Darren Pratley's second-half winner at Millwall. | 30443728 |
SSE is the second of the big six suppliers to announce price cuts this winter. Both companies are only cutting gas, not electricity prices.
Last week E.On said it would cut gas prices by 5.1%.
SSE said the move - which it is estimated will save a typical customer £32 a year - will take effect from the 29 March.
But while E.On's customers will benefit from the price cut at the beginning of February, SSE's will have to wait until the end of March.
It leaves the company open to criticism that its customers will not benefit during the winter season, the period when they use the most energy.
SSE also said it had lost 300,000 customers in its trading update in the nine months to December, but it expects to deliver full-year earnings and dividend targets.
The big energy companies have been coming under pressure in recent weeks to cut prices in the wake of steep falls in the cost of wholesale gas and electricity over the past year.
SSE said it was more difficult to offer a reduction in electricity prices because they had not come down as much as gas and there were significant increases in other supply costs such as the modernising the UK's transmission and distribution network.
There's been a lukewarm reaction to SSE's price cut. A "token gesture" was the view of long-time consumer campaigner Ann Robinson. She also pointed to the fact that (for the second year running) SSE's customers won't feel the benefit of a reduction in gas prices until the end of winter.
That delay will have implications for bills and the firm's profits.
We tend to burn through a lot of gas in February and March - up to 25% of our annual usage, according to one industry estimate.
What's more, on average around 70% of households are on the type of standard tariff which will be cut. But in SSE's case it's 90%. That's more than any other big supplier.
In short, the bulk of SSE's customers won't have a price cut this winter.
The regulator Ofgem has said previously energy customers can save much more money - up to £300 a year - within a matter of weeks, if they switch from standard tariffs to fixed price deals.
The gas price cut will see a reduction in the company's standard tariff - a variable rate which is usually more expensive than fixed-rate deals. This is often the tariff that inactive and vulnerable consumers find themselves on.
Earlier this month, the boss of energy regulator Ofgem told BBC News that the big energy companies were "overcharging in many cases" with prices failing to fall in line with dropping wholesale costs.
Reacting to SSE's cut, Dermot Nolan, chief executive of Ofgem, said "This is a move in the right direction, but if the market is as competitive as suppliers claim we would expect to see further price cuts.
"Ofgem referred the market to the CMA because we feel competition is not bearing down fast or hard enough on consumers bills."

Martha Seaward, 15, was run over after getting off a bus on the A148 in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, in January 2014.
Her parents wanted a roundabout built to slow traffic but the county council said this would be too expensive and it is now considering having a path built.
The Seawards said the path would move pedestrians but not solve the problem.
Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake had asked the council to investigate ways of preventing further deaths on the road and report its findings to her by the end of March.
In its report the council said a new roundabout had been considered but the cost of between £500,000 and £1m would be between a quarter to half of the annual road improvement budget for the coming year for the entire county.
Reducing the speed limit on the 60mph stretch would be "hard to justify on an open, rural main road with so little frontage development", it said.
The preferred option emerged as creating a path from the Lodge Hill bus stop to a crossing point further from the junction, and signs reminding bus users to take care crossing the main road.
Martha's mother Karen said: "They've done the very least they could do in response to the coroner's concerns.
"The optimum solution would have been a roundabout. Often speed limits aren't adhered to but a roundabout can't help but slow down traffic." | The parents of a girl who was knocked down and killed by a lorry have said they are "shocked and stunned" by the council's plans to make the road safer. | 32119634 |
The BMA said it was not backing down in the fight over a new contract and further strikes would go ahead unless the government negotiates a new deal.
Medical leaders had warned the short notice meant care would be put at risk.
Jeremy Hunt welcomed the announcement, but said future strikes would bring "unprecedented misery" to patients.
The General Medical Council had urged doctors to reconsider the stoppage, warning they could face regulatory action because the timing and length of the walkout would mean care was inevitably compromised.
The BMA said the decision was made after a meeting with officials from NHS England.
Junior doctors leader Dr Ellen McCourt said: "Patient safety remains doctors' primary concern.
"While the BMA provided more than the required notice, we have taken this decision to ensure the NHS has the necessary time to prepare and to put in place contingency plans to protect patient safety.
"Our hospitals are chronically understaffed, our NHS is desperately underfunded - we have to listen to our colleagues when they tell us that they need more time to keep patients safe.
"Future action is still avoidable. The BMA has repeatedly said it will call off further action if the government puts a halt to plans to force junior doctors to work under a contract they have rejected because they don't believe it is good for the future of patient care or the profession."
By Hugh Pym, BBC health editor
It looks like a presentational own goal by the BMA in this increasingly acrimonious dispute - announcing an escalated series of strikes with limited notice, and then having to cancel the first one because of high-level warnings about lack of time for hospital contingency planning.
We can assume there was intense debate within the BMA about the decision, as there was last week when the original strikes plan was announced.
Junior doctors' leaders said that working doctors as well as patients had expressed concerns about the short notice given for the first strike, and the decision to drop it was all about securing patient safety.
The BMA seems determined to press on with strikes in October, November and December with hospitals having more time to make appropriate plans.
As things stand, there is no evidence that the junior doctors' support for the campaign of industrial action has diminished.
The contract is due to start being imposed from October.
Health Secretary Mr Hunt told MPs: "We mustn't let [the announcement] obscure the fact that the remaining planned industrial action is unprecedented in length and severity and will be damaging for patients - some of whom will have already had operations cancelled.
"It is deeply perplexing for patients, NHS leaders and indeed the government that the reaction of the BMA leadership, who previously supported this contract, is now to initiate the most extreme strike action in NHS history - inflicting unprecedented misery on millions of patients up and down the country.
Chris Hopson, of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals, said it was the right decision as the health service had been given "barely any notice to prepare".
"We continue to urge the BMA to call off the remaining strikes to prevent further distress, delay and pain to patients."
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "We urge the BMA and Department of Health to meet urgently and participate in meaningful and sincere negotiations in order to resolve this impasse."
"It is vital that there is a coherent plan with a satisfactory resolution for all parties, and the only way this can be achieved is if the two parties show willingness to resume discussion," she added.
Next week's strike - which was due to occur between 08:00 and 17:00 BST from Monday to Friday - was to be the first of four all-out five-day stoppages during the rest of the year.
The remaining strikes take place during the same hours each day on:
The stoppages come after junior doctors have already taken part in six strikes this year, including two one-day all-out stoppages.
Industrial action was put on hold in May when the two sides got back round the table at conciliation service Acas.
That resulted in the agreement of a new contract, which BMA leaders encouraged members to accept.
But when it was put to the vote, 58% of medics rejected it, prompting the resignation of the BMA junior doctor leader Johann Malawana and causing ministers to announce once again that they would impose the new terms and conditions.
A new junior doctor leader, Dr McCourt, was appointed and, in August, the committee she leads called for the union's leaders to sanction the fresh strikes which have been announced.

Kayden Bancroft was 20 months old when he died at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH), following repeated delays to urgent surgery.
Whistleblowers allege the trust's focus was on "ballooning" waiting lists rather than emergency care.
The hospital admitted that failings occasionally occurred.
Central Manchester University Hospitals Trust said: "Royal Manchester Children's Hospital faces huge demands for its services and occasionally failings regrettably do occur."
Kayden's grandmother, Julie Rowlands, has spoken of her shock at the way he was treated.
She said: "His care was appalling. He was basically put in a room, and left.
"And all we got, nearly every day, was, 'He's not having the operation today, he's not having the operation today.' They were coming up with excuses, 'There's no bed, or a car crash victim's come in.'
"That's all we got, all the time we were there, was excuses."
One surgeon, Basem Khalil, told the BBC: "We just worry how many more children must die before management is held to account and before the right changes are made."
Kayden was brought into Stepping Hill Hospital on 11 April last year, a Monday, after falling and banging his mouth on his bottle.
Staff discovered that he had a hole in his diaphragm, causing his bowel to enter his chest.
Staff requested a transfer to RMCH for an operation to repair Kayden's diaphragm, but no intensive care bed was available.
The following day, he was transferred, but to an ordinary ward.
Kayden's surgery was repeatedly delayed over the following week, as he deteriorated.
On Thursday, 14 April, the BBC was told, a locum consultant requested that a planned elective surgery list be cancelled to allow him to carry out the operation, but management instructed an operational manager "not to get involved".
The trust told the BBC that it had no record of this request.
Late on Friday night, Kayden went into cardiac arrest.
Nurses struggled to get help, because an emergency phone line was down, and it took nearly 30 minutes to resuscitate the child.
He suffered severe brain injury and died two days later.
The trust's own investigation found "significant problems with the organisation and delivery of [Kayden's] care, which was not timely and resulted in his death".
Senior surgeons at the hospital told the BBC that they had repeatedly tried to warn trust management about problems, including a shortage of emergency operating theatres and intensive care beds at the hospital.
But the trust told the BBC: "We believe that there are sufficient theatres in our children's hospital to cope with the demand for emergency cases; however, on occasions some children do have to wait for urgent surgery while emergency surgery takes place."
Mr Khalil said: "On Thursday, one of the surgeons had offered to cancel one of his elective lists, so that he could do Kayden as an emergency, but did not receive the support that he needed.
"That should not have happened.
"There should have been support to say if we have children on the emergency list, they need to be done, and they should take priority over elective lists."
Mr Khalil added that the size of the hospital's waiting lists had become dangerous.
The BBC has seen internal figures to show that on 18 January this year, the number of children waiting for a procedure had reached 6,185, with 1,102 children having waited for over a year.
Mr Khalil said: "The waiting list in the children's hospital has basically ballooned over the last few years.
"We now have hundreds of children who have waited over a year to have their surgery done.
"They were giving elective cases priority, but it almost became like a culture, that it is difficult to cancel elective cases to do emergency cases."
A second surgeon, James Morecroft, who retired from RMCH this year, told the BBC: "There was a desire in the hospital to do the elective workload, perhaps at the expense of some of the emergency stuff."
The trust said: "The trust would like to make it clear that at no time has it directed clinical staff to prioritise elective over non-elective care.
"As is the case at most similar hospitals, elective cases are regularly cancelled to accommodate emergency patients."
However the trust's own investigation into Kayden's death recommended the hospital carry out an urgent review into "prioritising non-electives above elective cases".
It added: "Following the investigation, a number of immediate and longer term actions were agreed."
Lawyer Stephen Clarkson, from Slater and Gordon, who represented the family, said: "The real tragedy here is that Kayden's death was entirely preventable.
"If he had been operated on earlier, then he would have survived.
"It is deeply concerning that this happened at one of the country's leading hospitals for children, and that is why it is so important that the trust looks closely at what went wrong and what can be done to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else's child." | Senior surgeons say they tried to warn managers of dangerous delays to emergency surgery ahead of a child's death at a top children's hospital. | 39419776 |

With his sense of anarchy and humour, Baxendale and his creations became a big part of the appeal of comics like The Beano from the 1950s.
He was regarded by aficionados as one of Britain's greatest and most influential cartoonists.
His creations also included The Three Bears, Little Plum and the comic Wham!.
Baxendale's son Martin, also a cartoonist, said his father died at the age of 86 after a long fight with cancer.
Hailing from Preston, Lancashire, Leo Baxendale helped the Beano appeal to children in an otherwise austere post-war Britain - first with Little Plum then Minnie the Minx, a female answer to Dennis the Menace.
Cuthbert, Smiffy, Fatty, Plug and the rest of the Bash Street Kids came next. Like Minnie, they revelled in running riot across the comic panels and outwitting grown-up authority figures like their teacher, named Teacher.
Martin Baxendale said: "The humour in Leo's work for children's comics and his later newspaper cartoons and books was always anarchic, anti the established order and pro fairness and justice in a generally unfair and unjust world, championing the underdog against the forces of oppression; a reflection of his strongly held left-wing, progressive political views.
"In his comics' pages he saw the child characters he created as the underdogs long controlled and oppressed by the adult world around them and he gave them a voice and actions with which to fight back in hilariously anarchic fashion, allowed them to step into the limelight and control their own destinies.
"Children of the time responded to that, writing fan letters of glee and appreciation that truly delighted him. The fan letters also came from grown-up children, reading his pages with as much enjoyment as their offspring."
Cartoonist Lew Stringer told the Downthetubes comic blog that Baxendale was "quite simply the most influential artist in UK humour comics".
He said: "The impact of his work on British humour comics is incredible, as other artists were encouraged by editors to mimic Leo's style.
"The Beano simply wouldn't look like The Beano without Leo's influence, and it's debatable whether The Beano would even still be around if it had never featured The Bash Street Kids or Minnie the Minx."
Comic archivist, author and publisher Paul Gravett wrote on Facebook: "He did so much more than revolutionise British comics. He inspired in his readers, young and old, an anarchic, free-thinking spirit to challenge authority and be yourself."
Baxendale left The Beano to create the comic Wham! in 1963. It featured characters like Eagle Eye Junior Spy, his arch enemy Grimly Feendish and The Barmy Army.
In the 1970s, Baxendale moved on to Willy the Kid and Baby Basil, the latter of which also featured in The Guardian in the 1990s.
In the 1980s, he fought a seven-year battle for the copyright to his Beano creations with publisher DC Thomson. They settled out of court before a three-week trial began.

Nabila Nanfuka, 22, and Laurene-Danielle Jackson, 19, were killed at the Lava and Ignite nightclub in Northampton in October 2011.
Northampton County Hall heard there were 14 calls in 30 minutes alerting clubbers to departing coaches.
Jurors have also seen footage of people climbing over each other to escape.
A witness who helped organised the event, Koyode Ossai, admitted that universities had not been told to stagger arrival times.
Previously, the jury heard between 03:10 BST and 03:40 BST, DJs repeatedly told clubbers to "leave now or you will miss your coach" - he said that those who failed to get on a coach would be left in Northampton and explained there was no room in the Travelodge or the Holiday Inn.
The DJ said "Don't forget your coach will leave you, your coach will leave you."
The coroner asked Mr Ossai if anyone had told the DJ to say this to which he replied: "No-one would have been instructed to say all of that."
CCTV showed hundreds of people packed together. Police identified individuals and showed how they were unable to progress in any direction.
Witnesses who had attended the club have described how they heard calls for their coaches and rushed from the dance floor to the exit where they became caught in a crush of people.
No criminal charges have been brought against anyone following the crush.
Ms Nanfuka, from Neasden in north London, died at Northampton General Hospital on 19 October.
Ms Jackson, from Wembley, died at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital on 6 November.
Both were found unconscious on the stairs inside the club and died as a result of asphyxia.

It predicted that prices would have to rise 1% between 2016 and 2020.
That is on top of an increase of 5% it expects to have to make as a result of general wage inflation.
The Living Wage means that the minimum wage will be set at £7.20 an hour for over-25s from April 2016, which is forecast to rise to £9.35 in 2020.
The prediction came with Next's half year results - pre-tax profits came in at £347m, up 7% from the same period of 2014.
Earlier in the year, the company's shares fell after it issued a cautious sales outlook, predicting they would grow between 1.5% and 5.5%.
In the first half, total Next group sales were up 2.7% compared with the same period of 2014.
On Wednesday, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) published some research into how far the National Living Wage (NLW) would offset the cuts in benefits and tax credits announced in the 2015 Budget.
It found that families with someone in paid employment that are eligible for benefits or tax credits would lose an average of £750 a year as a result of the changes.
The IFS estimates that this group of 8.4 million working-age households will gain an average of £200 a year from the NLW.
It says this is an optimistic estimate because it assumes that the NLW will have no effect on GDP, employment or the number of hours worked.
Those averages also mask the differences in effects on different income groups. The IFS estimated that households in lower income groups would lose more as a result of the tax credit and benefit changes but gain less as a result of the NLW. | The retailer Next has set out the effect it thinks the government's National Living Wage will have on its prices. | 34201617 |
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group said it had carried out both attacks.
The attack in the holy city of Samarra targeted Shia pilgrims, including Iranians. A queue of vehicles waiting to enter Tikrit was also hit.
Further north, government forces continue to battle IS in Mosul, but deadly street fighting has slowed them.
They are facing fierce resistance as they push through the city's eastern and southern suburbs, blocked by concrete barricades and snipers on rooftops.
The deadliest of Sunday's blasts happened in Tikrit, some 200km (123 miles) south of Mosul.
A suicide bomber drove a booby-trapped ambulance into a line of vehicles queuing at a checkpoint at the southern entrance to the city, once the hometown of executed former leader Saddam Hussein.
The blast was so huge it blew some victims into a nearby river.
In Samarra, further south, another ambulance was detonated in a car park for the al-Askari mosque - one of the holiest shrines in Shia Islam. Iranian pilgrims were among the dead.
The number of dead and wounded at both attacks varies between reports.
Iraq's special forces (CTS) have secured a foothold in the eastern districts of Mosul but have moved only a kilometre since Friday.
They are now pushing into more densely populated areas and have had to curtail air strikes in order to protect civilians.
CTS spokesman Sabah al-Numani said they were facing "the toughest urban warfare that any force in the world could undertake", with sniper fire from rooftops and IS militants using false flags of surrender to entice troops towards car bombs.
Satellite images show the erection of barricades on key routes. IS has also dug ditches, some of which have been filled with water.
The IS-linked news agency, Amaq, released images of destroyed government military vehicles.
One resident of the Quds district told Reuters by telephone: "We still can't go out of our houses... mortars are falling continuously on the quarter."
Another resident in Malayeen district said IS fighters had set mobile homes ablaze to use as a smokescreen.
Government troops have gained control of Hammam al-Alil, about 15km (10 miles) south of Mosul on the Tigris river, despite fierce resistance.
Lt-Gen Raed Shakir Jawdat said security forces were in control of the centre of the town, but did not say whether IS militants had been pushed out completely.
Fighting is also continuing in Bashiqa, 13km north-east of Mosul.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, visiting the front line to the east of Mosul, said the government-led forces "will not retreat and will not be broken".
"My message to IS," he said, "if they want to save their lives they should lay down their weapons now."
Mosul fell to the jihadists in June 2014 and their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, chose a mosque in the city as a place to proclaim the establishment of a "caliphate".
Before the offensive began on 17 October, there were believed to be between 3,000 and 5,000 militants remaining in Mosul, along with up to 1.5 million civilians. | Suicide bombers have used explosives-laden ambulances to kill at least 21 people and wound many others in the Iraqi cities of Tikrit and Samarra. | 37888028 |
CWU general secretary Dave Ward hailed him as "a leader for the millions, not the millionaires".
Thanking the union for its support, Mr Corbyn said it was "time to end rip-off Britain."
The announcement came as two former advisers declared their support for his rival, Owen Smith.
Academics David Blanchflower and Simon Wren-Lewis, who have both served on Labour's economic advisory committee, expressed doubts about Mr Corbyn's ability to lead.
Mr Blanchflower told The Guardian Mr Smith had been better at consulting businesses and economists in three weeks than the current Labour leader had been over the last nine months, and Mr Wren-Lewis wrote on his blog that "a Corbyn-led party cannot win in 2020".
Endorsing Mr Corbyn, the CWU general secretary said: "We need a fundamental change in Labour politics and Jeremy Corbyn recognises this.
"He is the candidate to drive through the change that ordinary people are crying out for - opposing damaging austerity measures and tackling the housing crisis which is causing misery for so many."
The CWU represents 190,000 people working in the Royal Mail group, mobile companies and in BT Open Reach.
Mr Corbyn has already received the backing of train drivers' union Aslef and construction workers' union Ucatt.

The upgrade work, which was given the go-ahead in December 2010, includes the six-mile "missing link" on the M8 in North Lanarkshire.
Improvements to the Raith Interchange and widening of key sections of the M8, M73 and M74 are part of the plan.
Construction work is due to start next year and is expected to be completed by 2017.
The full cost of the project, which includes utility diversions, design preparation, land purchase costs and inflation since 2007, will be £508m.
The cost is much higher than previous estimates of £320m but Transport Scotland insisted the programme was more ambitious than previously announced.
It includes the upgrading of the A8 between Baillieston and Newhouse to motorway standard.
This will require upgrades to the connections to the M73 motorway at Baillieston and a new junction at Shawhead, which will connect to the A725 East Kilbride road.
There will also be new junctions at Eurocentral and Chapelhall.
Improvements to the Raith Interchange near Hamilton in Lanarkshire include realignment of the A725.
There will be an underpass for the A725 and bridges carrying the Raith roundabout.
Scottish Transport Minister Keith Brown said the project was of a similar scale to the recent M74 completion which directly supported 900 construction jobs.
He said the improvement were expected to cut up to 18 minutes off the journey time for about 115,000 vehicles for the busiest sections of the M8.
Mr Brown said: "The Scottish government's spending on infrastructure projects is a key driver in boosting the country's economy.
"In these difficult economic times providing hundreds of jobs in the hard-pressed construction industry plays a key part in delivering our vision of a wealthier, fairer and better connected Scotland."
Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie said: "The spiralling cost of the SNP's obsession with motorways isn't doing Scotland any favours.
"Last year the M8/M73/M74 upgrade was valued at £320m - now we learn it's going to cost us over half a billion.
"And that cost doesn't include the lifelong maintenance that will be heaped upon us too."
He added: "These projects will benefit those who can afford to drive and will do nothing to reduce inequality, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions." | Plans to upgrade the motorway network in central Scotland will cost £415m, the Scottish government has announced. | 17540799 |
Jordi Gomez had put Rovers in front on his debut with 18 minutes to go with a sublime 20-yard strike.
But after Boro debutant Jordan Rhodes was introduced to face the club he left in a £9m move, Nugent levelled matters by nodding in Emilio Nsue's cross.
Hope Akpan had a clear chance to win the game for Rovers but he fired wide.
Rovers boss Paul Lambert saw his side having the better of the chances until Boro introduced new signing Rhodes, who arrived on transfer deadline day.
Blackburn's Elliott Ward had a goal ruled out for offside and Tony Watt fired wide, while Grant Leadbitter and Kike Sola went close for the hosts, who saw Daniel Ayala forced off with an ankle injury after seeing his header saved by Jason Steele.
The visitors looked the more threatening side after the restart with Darragh Lenihan going close with a couple of attempts.
And after Ben Gibson fired over, Rovers took the lead when Gomez, another deadline day signing, struck at goal from 20 yards before Nugent headed in and the former England international went close again soon after, shooting wide from distance.
Akpan should have made it 2-1 to Rovers before Rhodes tested his former team-mate Steele late on, but Blackburn held on for a deserved point.
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka: "The first 70 minutes we didn't play with the intensity that we needed to, especially after our last two defeats.
"I thought the reaction today was going to be better, but the last 20 minutes is the only time we wanted to win or draw the game when we had a few chances.
"I know the concern, now we try to motivate them as we were two or three weeks ago. So now we try to work more and try to pick the right players."
Blackburn manager Paul Lambert: "I thought we were the better team and we should have won it, with the chances we had.
"Performance-wise I thought we were outstanding. To come here against a team trying to get out of the league is tough but we were very good.
"We coped really well, we dominated the middle of the pitch. They're a good side and they're up there on merit, but we put a lot of pressure on them."

The 50-year-old, who ruptured a disc in her back on Monday, had been the front runner after scoring consistently high marks from the judges.
"The absolute destination for me was the journey. The journey was the gift," she said after winning the show.
Former child star Kyle Massey was runner-up and politician Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol came third.
Grey, who also suffered problems with her neck and knee during the series, said her mind went blank just before the winner was announced.
"I was in a surrender moment of whatever happens will be great," the trained dancer said.
Palin's appearance seemed to divide audiences, after one angry man blasted his TV set with a shotgun while watching the show last week.
Voting problems
However, public support kept her in the contest, despite finishing bottom with the judges for more than six weeks.
"This has been a life-changing experience," she said.
The 20-year-old added she had no expectations about her performance, but admitted that winning would have been like "a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me".
There were some voting problems on the final show after producers said they had received a "record amount of activity", putting its online and telephone voting systems under strain.
"Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the Dancing With The Stars finale, which affected each finalist equally," producers said in a statement.

Josh Cathcart, from Dalgety Bay in Fife, was born with his right arm missing from the elbow down.
He said was "happy" because he used to get "badly bullied" and that he was now enjoying "stacking up blocks, tying a knot, pulling up my trousers".
The i-limb quantum was designed by Touch Bionics, based in Livingston in West Lothian.
Controlled by the wearer's muscle signals and a mobile app, the i-limb quantum is said to be the first prosthetic hand that can change grips with a gesture.
The wearer can activate the desired grip by moving the hand in any of four different directions.
The limb comes in three sizes, the smallest of which fits youngsters like Josh.
Josh said: "I got it put on about two days ago. It feels quite heavy. I can stick my thumb up. I can make a pinch grip, I can get a grip for cutting with a knife.
"I made myself a bagel yesterday. I can open bottles and packets with it, I can stack up blocks and I can build Lego with it."
Parents Clare and James said the new limb allowed Josh to live more independently.
Mrs Cathcart said: "Josh had been getting picked on and became quite withdrawn and upset, so we started looking for something a bit more advanced, something that moved.
"So, we had chats with him and then went on the internet and came across this company.
"He was born missing a hand. At first, I didn't really give it much thought to it, but as time went on I blamed myself for it.
"It gives him his independence, so he can now make his own food and tidy his own room."
Alison Goodwin, prosthetist at Touch Bionics, said: "Josh has spent this week with us being fitted with the Touch Bionics i-limb quantum prosthesis.
"He's the youngest we've fitted so far because of the extra small hand that we now have available, so it's been great to now have the experience this week of fitting the youngest-ever person with the i-limb hand.
"We do fit the hand worldwide but he's the first one that we have fitted here in Scotland, so it's great that he's a local lad.
"It works from electrodes which are positioned on the surface of his skin within the socket of his prosthesis, so this is the custom-made part which is fitted on to his residual limb.
"When he tenses those muscles, the electrodes open and close the hand." | A nine-year-old boy is thought to be the youngest person in the world to be fitted with a "bionic" hand. | 34018237 |
Businesswoman Dr Bell, a former member of S4C's governing authority, said she would not be commenting on the matter.
It is understood the Welsh Government hoped another of the shortlisted candidates would be appointed in her place.
However, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has opted to re-advertise the position.
It emerged the Welsh Government had vetoed the preferred candidate to represent Wales on the new BBC Board last week.
The members for England and Scotland were confirmed last Thursday.
But a UK government source said the Welsh Government had "seen fit to veto the secretary of state's choice of candidate".
The Welsh Government said: "Throughout the appointment process, our primary concern has been to ensure the BBC board properly represents the needs of the people of Wales.
"While we were unable to agree with the secretary of state's choice for the post of board member for Wales, we have made it clear there remain appointable candidates on whom we can agree.
"It is unfortunate that the secretary of state has been unwilling to have a proper dialogue with us about it. The latter stages of this process have been deeply unsatisfactory and we believe it is in both Wales and the BBC's interests that we now reopen the process."
Dr Bell has a background in the oil and gas industry and is a former managing director of the Global Oil and Gas Group at the Chase Manhattan Bank.
She is also a trustee of the National Museum of Wales and Wales Millennium Centre and a member of Cardiff University's council. | The candidate to represent Wales on the BBC board who was vetoed by Welsh Government was Dr Carol Bell. | 39259599 |
The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) says these children should not be put into institutions at an early age.
Such a move costs the taxpayer dear and gives youngsters low ambitions for improving their lives, the CDC says.
However, the review, commissioned by the Department of Health, acknowledged ministers had not ignored this group.
It praised government initiatives brought in after the abuse of people with learning disabilities was uncovered at Winterbourne View private hospital near Bristol.
However, the CDC concluded there was no clear vision for the treatment of children with complex needs involving challenging behaviour, mental health problems, learning disabilities and autism.
It said a lack of accountability across a fragmented care system was depriving these children of their right to an education and community and family life.
"It was like my world fell apart. Eddie was young, all alone and being locked in a room," says mother-of-four Adele Hanlon.
"The feeling that I had failed him was overwhelming, and knowing I could not be there to comfort him was devastating."
Her son, Eddie, 17, has been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyspraxia and is being detained under the Mental Health Act.
He is currently being treated in a specialist hospital unit in Newcastle - 300 miles away from his home in Bristol - as this was the nearest suitable institution with a spare place.
"We are only able to visit monthly, and due to the distance we fly to the hospital," says Adele.
"He looks forward to a visit, but towards the end of his visit he becomes upset.
"When we leave he becomes distressed and needs a lot of additional support."
The CDC review criticised regional discrepancies in care provision for children.
"The current geographical spread of in-patient provision does not represent the population needs both in geography and in capacity," it said.
"There is no suitable placement available for young people living in London and the South East or throughout the South West."
The report also noted that affected children were more likely to come from poorer families and live in challenging circumstances.
CDC director Dame Christine Lenehan said: "When I left practice in 1997, I could walk round my authority looking at small children and knowing that the chances of them going out of the authority area - often to a placement a considerable distance away, aged 11, 12 or 13 - was high.
"Their diagnosis at age two or before was the indicator to the challenges they would face, and yet they followed a path which institutionalised them during their teenage years and condemned them to a life hidden from society, away from their families, at huge financial cost to the taxpayer and with very poor outcomes."
Dame Lenehan said it was often an "act of last resort" that saw this group of disabled children sent away from their home communities into long-term placements.
"Hidden and separated from the rest of society, these children become special cases, for whom the aspirations we have for other children and young people don't apply," she said.
"We urgently need a shift in thinking." | Disabled children in England with severe behavioural and complex mental health issues are being "separated and hidden" from society, a review warns. | 38730074 |
The Grecians made a blistering start and were 2-0 up inside the first six minutes. The first came after great play by David Wheeler and Reuben Reid, who teed-up Jordan Moore-Taylor to rifle in a fourth-minute opener.
Then, as Barnet struggled to clear their lines, Jake Taylor poked the ball to Wheeler who managed to squeeze the ball past Jamie Stephens from barely two yards out.
Ruben Bover forced goalkeeper Christy Pym into a smart stop with a fierce free-kick and Simeon Akinola glanced a header wide as Barnet responded, while Harry Taylor was also foiled by Pym with a shot from distance.
Wheeler was off-target on the hour mark for Exeter before John Akinde reduced the arrears in the 69th minute when he smashed the ball into the back of the net from 10 yards.
As Barnet pressed for an equaliser, Pym saved well to deny Mauro Vilhete and Akinde headed a great chance over the crossbar in stoppage time.

Major High Street lenders have been selling complex financial contracts to small business clients without properly explaining the risks involved.
The products were offered to thousands of small firms - including pub owners, haulage firms, care-home operators and vets - when they asked their bank to take out a loan.
The borrowers were told that the product would provide an "insurance" or "hedge" against the risk of interest rates rising.
But with interest rates having instead fallen since 2008 to historic lows, many of these businesses have discovered they are now sitting on tens of thousands of pounds in losses.
What have the banks been doing?
Small businesses claim to have been sold "Interest Rate Swap Agreements" and other complicated interest rate hedging products such as "collars" or "caps and floors" without being properly told the risks they were taking.
Many borrowers claim that they were pressurised into buying these products. They say the "hedge" was made a condition of the loan they needed being granted, and that in some cases they were given very little time to make a decision.
What are the risks of these products?
The hedges were supposed to protect borrowers from the risk of interest rates going up.
But the quid pro quo was that borrowers paid more when interest rates fell. After 2008, the Bank of England slashed interest rates to help out struggling borrowers - but these borrowers did not benefit from cheaper interest rates because of their hedges.
What's more, borrowers have found themselves stuck with these hedges. For example, some businesses have tried to shrink their businesses in response to the tough trading conditions, by selling off properties and using the proceeds to pay off their loans. But when they have asked to cancel the hedges for these loans, they have sometimes been told they must pay tens of thousands of pounds in cancellation costs.
Some products also contained additional risks. For example, the lender - but not the borrower - had the right to cancel the hedge without paying any compensation.
In the case of an electrical retailer who has spoken to BBC business editor Robert Peston, the borrower actually ended up paying a higher interest rate on the hedge as the Bank of England cut lending rates below a trigger level.
Why do some businesses claim these products were inappropriate?
In many cases, borrowers say they have ended up with hedges for loans that do not even exist.
For example, some claim they were told to take out hedges for significantly more than the amount of money they were actually borrowing.
In other cases, borrowers say they were pushed into taking out hedges that would last many more years than their loans, because the bank said they were likely to reborrow the loans when they came up for repayment.
But the bank made no commitment to relend them the money. So the borrower faces the risk of being stuck in an expensive hedge for a loan the bank refuses to renew.
In one case that has been settled out of court, the borrower even claimed that their bank had already agreed to cap their monthly loan repayments - meaning there was no need for an interest rate hedge at all.
How widespread are the allegations?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said 40,000 of these products were sold by four banks - Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and RBS.
After ordering the banks to set up reviews, the FCA reported that the first compensation offers were accepted at the end of August 2013. In September 2013, it said that a further 2,000 letters offering compensation were being sent out.
Jeremy Roe, who runs a chain of holiday cottages, founded the Bully-banks campaign website after he said he himself fell victim to mis-selling.
He says that hundreds of aggrieved businesses have registered on his website since it was highlighted by the Daily Telegraph, although he has no idea how large the problem could turn out to be.
What can businesses do about it?
The four banks - Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and RBS - are now each setting up a review of the cases of potential mis-selling. The banks are prioritising those in financial difficulty.
Those businesses affected will be contacted by the bank to tell them that they are eligible to be part of these reviews, if they agree to it. They might have to provide some information to the bank.
In due course, the bank will propose "fair and reasonable" redress on a case-by-case basis, which will reviewed and agreed by the independent reviewer.
If the business are not satisfied with this offer then they can refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. However, if the business is unhappy, and thinks that it has suffered losses of more than £150,000, then it may have to take its case to the civil courts.
Some customers who purchased caps are not included in the scope of the review unless they complain to their bank.
Mr Roe, of Bully-banks, recommends businesses collect as much documentary evidence as possible - legal documents, sales materials provided by the banks, and email records.
He also points out that borrowers have a right to demand that their bank provide them with transcripts of any telephone conversations they have had with bank representatives, which the banks routinely record.
Any business in hardship can apply to have its loan repayments suspended while the reviews are taking place.
Should small businesses avoid these products in future?
Not necessarily.
Interest rates can go up as well as down. Indeed, interest rates cannot go a lot lower - the Bank of England can only cut them a further 0.5% before they hit zero. Rising interest rates can be a real risk for businesses, as they were in the 1970s.
However, financial adviser James Ducker says anyone considering entering into one of these transactions should speak to an expert to get independent advice - so the banks know they cannot charge a huge profit.
"Swaps can be a useful service which to help insulate business customers against fluctuations in interest rates," according to the British Bankers' Association.
"As with every other purchase, customers should consider if this is the right product for them, shop around and be sure they fully understand what they are signing up to before making a commitment."
However, a number of banks have said that they sold these complex products to relatively few businesses.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and RBS have also all agreed to stop marketing structured collars to retail clients. | The banks are in hot water again. | 17584334 |
He will sign ambitious commitments to cut carbon emissions at the UN climate meeting while at the same time pressing for sanctions relief to boost Iran's carbon-heavy industrial sector.
Many Iranians will be watching with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, there are hopes the emissions cuts Iran plans to make as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement will help it stave off chronic air pollution, water shortages and desertification thought to be partly due to global warming.
But on the other, there is huge anticipation for the economy to improve following last year's nuclear deal and lifting of international sanctions.
For that to happen Mr Zarif needs to find a way to get money flowing to one of the most heavily polluting sectors of the economy - the fossil fuel industry which accounts for more than 85% of Iran's income.
Although many trade delegations have visited Iran since the nuclear deal, and many deals have been signed, there have been few tangible results because most international banks are still unwilling to deal with Iran for fear of breaching other pre-existing unilateral US sanctions.
In his meetings with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Mr Zarif has been seeking a way to break the deadlock.
If he succeeds, Iran is hoping to up oil production well above the current levels of 1.1m barrels per day.
But environmentalists are asking how this will square with Iran's ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 12% by 2030.
"The commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12% has not been well thought out," says Nasser Karami, an Iranian physical climatologist from Bergen University in Norway.
"The Iranians may have been influenced by political and PR considerations after they successfully reached the nuclear deal."
Iran's parliament has yet to ratify the Paris Agreement.
That task falls to the next elected parliament which begins its first session in June.
Iranian MPs have little experience of debate on climate issues but Iran's Environmental Protection Agency has been under fire from conservatives as President Hassan Rouhani has endeavoured to strengthen its hand in cracking down on environmentally harmful practices in the private and public sector.
Climate change as a global issue still seems far away from the day-to-day concerns of most Iranians, but they are very concerned by environmental issues at home.
Babak, a Facebook user, from Tehran, spoke for many in a recent post.
"We are choking on all this dirty air," he wrote, complaining about the city's notorious pollution. "Why can't Rouhani get all these polluting cars off the road."
Phasing out polluting old cars and motorbikes, and improving the petrol quality could take a chunk out of Iran's greenhouse gas emissions.
Investments in clean energy could also help.
Following the nuclear deal, Iran has begun a number of projects to build wind turbines and solar panel farms in partnership with companies from Finland, Holland and Belgium.
However, many doubt this is will be enough to enable Iran to slash emissions so radically.
"Unless Iran pursues a massive switch from gas and oil energy producing units to solar and wind energies, meeting its 12% target is realistically unattainable," said Mehrdad Emad, a European Union economic consultant on Iran.
Experts are already warning that if current trends continue, rising temperatures could make large swathes of southern Iran uninhabitable in years to come.
The city of Mahshahr in the south-east has already broken records with 63C (145F) last summer.
Masoumeh Ebtekar, the influential head of Iran's Environmental Protection Agency, has warned Iranians to prepare themselves for the possibility of big changes to their climate in the future.
But although there has been a new interest in domestic environmental issues in Iran in recent years, most Iranians have little understanding of the global picture or know that their country is one of the world's top 10 polluting countries.
And as Mr Zarif 's mission to New York this week underlines, Iran's decision-makers still have a long way to go as they try to balance the challenge of saving both the country's economy and the planet. | Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif will be performing a delicate balancing act in New York on Friday. | 36099248 |
Whistleblowers told BBC Scotland last week that surgical teams were prevented from seeing A&E patients to speed up times and hit targets.
Dr Catherine Calderwood was asked to visit the hospital by health secretary and city MSP Shona Robison.
She said the findings of her investigation would be made public.
Two Ninewells doctors told BBC Scotland that surgical teams were being bullied and prevented from seeing potentially seriously ill patients in the emergency department. They said hospital managers wanted these patients moved to the surgical department, so that a box could be ticket saying they had been discharged from A&E.
One doctor said they had "never experienced emergency care which is so aggressive in terms of getting patients out of the department", amid an "utter fixation to the four hour target".
During a Holyrood debate on the health service, Ms Robison said she had been given assurances by NHS Tayside about the situation at the hospital, but said she had asked Dr Calderwood to investigate "to restore confidence".
Dr Calderwood said: "While we have received reassurances from the board about the system here in Tayside, when serious allegations like these are made, it is absolutely right that they are fully looked into.
"I am here today with a completely open mind to listen to staff and look at the systems in A&E and the medical and surgical admissions units. I want to be completely satisfied that the reassurances provided by the board are correct and stand up to scrutiny.
"There will be an opportunity for staff, including trainees, to speak to me without management and on a confidential basis if necessary. I am equally happy to listen to views from any staff at NHS Tayside who wish to contact me outside of today's visit, to ensure that all views are listened to.
"This is an important issue, and I will consider the visit over the course of this week. As the Scottish government has confirmed, these findings will be made public." | Scotland's chief medical officer has visited Ninewells Hospital in Dundee to investigate claims about practices designed to manipulate waiting times. | 33134355 |

It is estimated just over 10 million people visited Wales between October 2015 and September 2016 - a 1.5% drop.
The Great Britain Tourism Survey showed a similar 1.1% fall for visitor numbers in Great Britain as a whole.
The Economy Secretary Ken Skates has said Wales is still in a "strong position".
Overall, the trend for the last three years still remains up - for both Wales and the rest of the UK.
"Campaign work now continues to convert early interest and opportunities arising from the weak pound into bookings for the summer," said Mr Skates.
"In what is an extremely competitive market place, tourism in Wales is in a strong position.
"We've had two record breaking years and our aim is to sustain growth - being aware that global events and competition will mean that not every year will be a record breaking one."
Peter Cole, Wales representative of the Tourism Society Board, added: "It is clear that tourism in Wales, like the rest of the UK, has fought back strongly after the financial crash, but it would be naïve to think that year on year increases in any one part of the market are inevitable for any part of the UK with so many variables and factors at play.
"Following the Year of Adventure in 2016 and investments such as Zip World and Surf Snowdonia, north Wales is now being talked of by key influencers as a challenger for the Lake District as the UK destination of choice for adventure activities." | Fewer British holidaymaker chose Wales as their destination last year, suggest the latest official survey figures. | 39629129 |
Mr Beckenbauer is being investigated along with three other members of the competition's organising committee.
The four are suspected of fraud, criminal mismanagement, money laundering and misappropriation.
Mr Beckenbauer, who headed the bid in 2000, has previously denied corruption.
"Today I was interviewed as part of a long scheduled hearing by the Swiss federal prosecutor," Mr Beckenbauer, 71, said, adding: "I answered his questions."
The former Germany captain said he would not share more details of the case "out of respect for the prosecutor's office".
The Swiss attorney general's office told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Beckenbauer had been "co-operative".
The investigation into allegations that four members of the 2006 World Cup organising committee were involved in fraud and money laundering began in 2015.
The other three suspects under criminal investigation are former presidents of the German Football Association (DFB) Wolfgang Niersbach and Theo Zwanziger, and former secretary-general of the DFB Horst Rudolf Schmidt.
Tax authorities raided the DFB headquarters after it emerged that a secret payment of 6.7m euros (£4.6m; $7.2m) was made to Fifa in 2005.
The case first made headlines in October 2015, when German news magazine Der Spiegel accused Germany of using a secret slush fund to buy Fifa votes in support of its bid to host the 2006 World Cup.
The money allegedly came from the late Robert Louis-Dreyfus, who in 2000 was head of German sportswear giant Adidas.
It was allegedly provided at the request of Mr Beckenbauer, who led the committee seeking to secure Germany's right to host the event.
He has previously admitted to making errors in relation to the bid but has denied deliberate wrongdoing.
Mr Beckenbauer played his first World Cup for West Germany in 1966 in England and captained the team to victory as hosts at the 1974 tournament.

It was discovered at the bottom of a wardrobe wrapped in a blanket after a science-fiction memorabilia collector died, Trevanion & Dean Auctioneers said.
The puppet was sold earlier at an auction in Whitchurch, Shropshire.
At its peak, the science-fiction series was attracting an audience of 100 million fans in 66 countries.
Thunderbirds, which was first aired on TV screens in 1965, told the story of the Tracy family who form a secret organisation dedicated to saving human life.
Auctioneer Christina Trevanion said the seller, the brother of the previous owner, had "looked and looked and looked" for the puppet after his brother's death, before finally finding it.
Asked why the puppet was hidden in a wardrobe, the auctioneer said: "I think [the man] was very precious about her.

"She was the absolute star of [the man's] collection."
She said plenty of replicas were made, but puppeteers on the 1960s TV series and leading UK puppet-makers had confirmed it as an original.

The Edinburgh-based group reported that pre-tax operating profit increased by 9% in 2016 to £723m.
Assets under administration rose 16% to £357.1bn, which the group said had been driven by market movements, including the benefit of a weaker pound.
This was despite net outflows from its funds of £2.6bn, driven "largely" by its mature books of business.
Fee-based revenue increased by 5% to just over £1.65bn, with asset growth reported across all of the group's "key" growth channels - institutional, wholesale, workplace and retail.
The group said it was growing assets by "meeting the evolving and diverse needs of our clients and customers".
Standard Life also reported that it had set aside £175m for compensation, following the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) review of non-advised annuity sales last year.
In its results statement, the company said: "We are working with the FCA to put in place a process to ensure we provide affected customers with appropriate redress."
The company raised its dividend payment by 8%, with a total payout for the year of 19.82p.
Chief executive Keith Skeoch said: "Standard Life continues to make good progress towards creating a world-class investment company.
"We have increased the pace of strategic delivery, against a backdrop of volatile investment markets, with growth in assets, profits, cash flows and returns to shareholders.
"Despite industry headwinds, we are benefiting from our strengthening global brand and strong long-term relationships with a well diversified range of clients and customers." | Insurer and asset manager Standard Life shook off industry "headwinds" last year to post a strong rise in profits. | 39076463 |

Cluff Natural Resources said it was halting work while the SNP ministers decide on their approach.
Campaigners want Cluff's development of underground coal gasification (UCG) included in a moratorium on fracking.
A review of Scotland's energy needs is under way and the issue may be debated at the SNP's autumn conference.
In an exchange of private letters between Alex Cluff, the chairman and chief executive, and Scottish infrastructure secretary Alex Neil, which was later made public, the minister made clear that he did not see UCG developments as being included in the moratorium on shale fracking as well as coal-bed methane.
Despite that, the public campaign is seen as having "the ability to impact the development of the Kincardine Project," Cluff's UCG plan for the inner estuary.
Mr Cluff told shareholders: "We have deemed it prudent to await clarity on these matters before committing fully to, in particular, the expense of an environmental impact study.
"As a result, work on a planning application will likely be postponed until after such time as the political situation is more certain.
"Preparatory work including site selection studies, modelling and design work are, however, well under way."
The energy entrepreneur still hopes to persuade Scottish government ministers to see his plans as fitting in with their own political ambitions.
He said: "In our judgment the gasification of the coal contained under these licences would represent a major advance towards Scottish energy self-sufficiency and is therefore entirely consonant with the concept of Scottish independence."
Mr Cluff said central government should take over planning decisions on energy projects from local authorities, warning that a local block would turn some areas into "industrial wastelands".
He also challenged the UK government on the spread of offshore windfarms in the southern North Sea, where he said they could impede the development of new gas resources in those offshore areas.
Cluff reported a loss of £745,000 for the first half of this year, down from £809,000 in the same part of 2014.
Lang Banks, director of environment lobby group WWF Scotland, said: "People power is clearly working, and it's now clear that Cluff's plans are in real trouble.
"If Cluff is so convinced its plans will have no impact on the climate and wider environment, then it should be actively encouraging the scrutiny of the technology as part of the Scottish government's existing examination of other unconventional fossil fuels." | Plans to extract gas by unconventional means from under the Firth of Forth have been put on hold until political debate on the method is resolved. | 34071268 |
The five main parties all have campaign events planned around Wales.
For the Conservatives, Prime Minister David Cameron will visit Wales as part of a tour of the UK's four nations in one day.
He will say the economy is growing across the UK, and an Ed Miliband government would be a "disaster", with "one month to save Britain from debt".
Mr Cameron said ahead of the visits: "Today, I am travelling to all four nations of our United Kingdom, to all four corners of our country, with one simple message: we have one month to save our economy from the disaster of an Ed Miliband government.
"We have one month to save Britain from his mountain of debt; one month to save Britain from his punitive taxes; one month to save Britain, and British families, from his anti-business and anti-aspiration agenda."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is due to visit Montgomeryshire on Tuesday to discuss Liberal Democrat plans for NHS funding.
The party says its pledge to put £8bn into the NHS will mean an extra £450m for Wales which would be spent on more nurses and mental health services.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves will tell voters they have "one month to scrap the 'bedroom tax'".
The party claims the removal of the spare room subsidy is due to hit a further 70,000 families in Wales over the next five years.
Plaid Cymru will launch its farming mini-manifesto on Anglesey with a pledge to improve support for agriculture.
Plaid is also calling for improvements to broadband, fuel prices and postal services in rural areas.

Badruddin Haqqani died last Tuesday in North Waziristan, a relative said.
The death has not been confirmed by US or Pakistani officials.
The Haqqani network has carried out high-profile attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan. If confirmed, the death would be a major victory for US forces, correspondents say.
In a separate development, Nato air strikes killed a regional commander of the Pakistani Taliban on Friday inside Afghanistan, officials said.
Mullah Dadullah was killed along with a dozen of his fighters in Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province. He had taken over as leader of the Taliban in Pakistan's Bajaur tribal area earlier this year.
Badruddin Haqqani has been described as a senior operational commander with the Haqqani network - masterminding and directing ambitious attacks on high-profile targets.
He was also responsible for training camps, and for extorting funds from contractors, the BBC's Orla Guerin in Islamabad says.
Tribesmen in North Waziristan and sources in the local administration told the BBC he is now dead and buried.
Local sources also told the BBC that his replacement had already been named. But experts think the death would affect operations by the Haqqani network, our correspondent says.

Too many of those who retake English and maths fail to achieve the benchmark A* to C grades by 19, says Impetus PEF.
Since 2013, teenagers in England who do not meet the standard at 16 have had to study the subjects until they are 19.
The Association of Colleges said its members had "embraced the challenge" of ensuring all students achieve a good level of core skills.
The charity, which funds groups working with young people who are not in education, employment or training, says the most recent results for post-16 education suggest many students do not improve their standards despite the extra years of study.
And this is particularly true of students from poorer homes, who are statistically more likely to need to resit their GCSEs to achieve the benchmark standard, say the researchers.
The results for the first students to continue to study English and maths after 16 will not be available until next year - so the researchers analysed existing results.
They looked at the most recent Department for Education figures - for students who left school at 16 without good grades in English and maths in 2012 - before the rules changed.
Overall, in 2012, 201,683 students left school without achieving A* to C in English and 186,160 in maths.
In English, just over a quarter of these enrolled on a post-16 catch-up course, while the figure for maths was 20%.
But well over half (58%) of those who retook English still did not achieve the required grade the age of 19.
In maths the figure was 65%.
The researchers point out that students eligible for free school meals fared appreciably worse than better-off students, according to a separate set of government figures for young people turning 19 in 2014.
Of those on free school meals, only 39% had achieved good grades in English and maths GCSE or equivalent at 16, compared with 65% of their better-off peers.
By 19, just 45% of those on free school meals had achieved the benchmark standard, compared with 71% of the better-off students.
The researchers say these figures suggest the post-16 system will struggle to boost outcomes for the larger group of people now staying on in education or training.
"Current performance of post-16 provision suggests the system will struggle to get all young people who failed at 16 caught up by 19 as they aren't doing this well for the small number who enrol currently," they argue.
"Given there are more free school meals students not achieving at 16, the significant proportion of the students who will be required to catch up will be from a disadvantaged background, which suggests a higher proportion of free school meals students will not catch up by 19, if post-16 provision continues to perform as it is now."
Impetus PEF chief executive Andy Ratcliffe said catching up was crucial for young people.
"If they don't get the grades at 16, they need a second chance to catch up by 19. Sadly, most don't catch up and without those qualifications life after school is much tougher, with fewer options for jobs and education."
Catherine Sezen of the Association of Colleges, said the new rules gave colleges the challenge of giving a growing number of 16-year-olds a second chance at English and maths GCSEs "after 11 years at school", alongside training them for technical and professional qualifications.
"Colleges, schools and the government must work together to ensure that all students achieve a good level of core skills in these subjects by the time they leave education and training," said Ms Sezen.
A Department for Education spokesman said the government was providing an extra £480 per student, per subject for all those with GCSE English or maths below grade C.
It had also invested £30m over the past two years to boost core skills in the further education workforce, said the spokesman.

The 73-year-old presented a three-hour live show, Soul Party, on Radio 2 on New Year's Eve, opening with Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive.
Blackburn said of his return: "I went for a long walk and got lost. Somebody found me yesterday."
The show was his first broadcast since he was taken off air in February over the Jimmy Savile inquiry.
Director general Tony Hall said at the time that Blackburn had failed to fully co-operate with the inquiry.
Blackburn said at the time the inquiry had claimed he was interviewed about a girl's diary by a senior BBC executive and a senior lawyer - but he insisted he was never interviewed by either.
In a statement made in October, announcing his return, the BBC said both it and Blackburn stood by their statements but Blackburn had "recognised that the BBC considered a period off-air was appropriate".
In the same statement, Blackburn said: "I do not seek to criticise the BBC for decisions it has made in the past.
"I have had a difficult year personally, but I'm pleased to be returning to the BBC and can't wait to get behind the mic again."
The son of a doctor from Guildford, Tony Blackburn was the first DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 when it launched in September 1967.
He spent 17 years at the station and also presented Top of the Pops and was a weekly fixture on Noel's House Party. Prior to that, he broadcast on Radio Caroline South and then Radio London.
After Radio 1, he was one of the launch presenters on Capital Gold. He has also hosted Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops as well as regular bank holiday specials for the stations. He has also had shows on BBC London 94.9, BBC Radio Berkshire, the Magic network, BBC3CR and KMFM.
In 2002 he won the ITV reality TV programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
As his new slot began, he said: "It's New Year's Eve, it's BBC Radio 2 and what do you know? Good Lord, I'm back."
He was welcomed back by many fans on social media - including Sir Roger Moore, who tweeted: "He's back!"
During the show, Blackburn played tracks from Michael Jackson, The Temptations and Dionne Warwick among others.
He will be presenting an hour-long BBC Radio 2 show called The Golden Hour, at 7pm on Fridays, starting on January 6.
It is the long-term replacement for the Desmond Carrington's weekly show The Music Goes Round following Carrington's retirement in October after 70 years of broadcasting.
Blackburn told listeners he was "looking forward very much indeed" to starting the new programme, which he said would be full of "fantastic" music.

Electrical equipment exploded underneath Stratford Road in Shirley on Monday, causing smoke and then flames to repeatedly shoot out of the pavement, in front of a row of shops and parked cars.
The passer-by managed to film the explosion on his mobile phone.
West Power Distribution said engineers were despatched after receiving a call at about 17:00 BST.
They isolated electricity supplies and cordoned off the area before repairing an underground link box. A spokesman described the incident as very rare.

The body will deal with "cybersecurity incidents" of national significance.
It will also provide advice and alerts on cyber-threats to government, industry and academia.
Speaking at the launch, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude said that 93% of large corporations had had "a breach" over the past financial year.
The attacks cost on average between £450,000 and £850,000, he added.
The minister also repeated the claim that one London-based company had suffered a security breach which cost it "£800m worth of revenue".
But, he said, cybersecurity also presented an opportunity. It was "an essential feature of - and a massive opportunity for - the UK's economic recovery".
Many countries around the world now have their own CERT, a crucial component in the sharing of information to prevent cyber-attacks.
The government says it has allocated £860m to the UK's cybersecurity efforts.
However, figures were not available for the current budget specifically for CERT-UK, which will be based in London and will consist of a team of 55 people.
According to its website, cert.gov.uk, CERT-UK would issue an alert and appropriate guidance in the exceptional event of a critical national cybersecurity incident.
Providing advisory notices of "cybersecurity issues being detected across government, industry or academia" would be another function.
However the organisation has no law enforcement role or powers - its primary role is co-ordination and information-sharing.
Although CERT-UK had its official launch today, director Chris Gibson, formerly the director of e-crime at global bank Citigroup, was appointed in November and work has been in progress for some months.
A particular focus of the organisation will be the protection of companies seen to be part of the critical national infrastructure, such as banks, and power generation and distribution firms.
National Grid spokesman Steve Collins described the launch of CERT-UK as a "milestone".

Athletics' governing body the IAAF said the silver medallist had been found guilty of an in-competition doping offence during the event in Japan.
Pavey, 43, was beaten to bronze by American Kara Goucher, who will now be upgraded to silver.
"It is frustrating," said Pavey.
"I am thrilled with the news but it is kind of bittersweet because when I think back to those championships I was running as hard as I could, I had got myself in the best shape and it was a hot and humid day. I was in a medal position right until the line but couldn't hold on.
"Instead of being a moment where I was thrilled at getting my first medal, I was lying on the track feeling totally despondent and frustrated, I felt that I had let everyone down."
It is Pavey's first World medal, having been on the podium at the Commonwealth Games and European Championships.
The saga surrounding Abeylegesse dates back to 2015 when the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced 28 athletes who competed at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships had returned "adverse findings" from retested samples.
The Turkish Athletics Federation subsequently revealed that Abeylegesse was one of those under investigation. The Ethiopian-born runner was withdrawn from the 2015 Worlds as a consequence.
Her results from 25 August 2007 to 25 August 2009 have been removed and the 34-year-old is retrospectively banned from 29 September 2015 to 28 September 2017.
Pavey says she feels angry at Abeylegesse for denying her of her podium moment, and has questioned whether she has potentially missed out on more medals.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Pavey added: "I had a few years in the prime of my career where I kept just missing out on medals and I almost had to go back to the drawing board and think how I could find that extra. How I could not keep getting it just a bit wrong on the day.
"Now I look back and I think about the other medals I might have had and actually I was doing a lot of things right but with the cheats out there it does make it so much more difficult and so frustrating."
Pavey, a five-time Olympian, is set to compete in this year's London Marathon with the aim of qualifying for the 2017 World Championships in London.

Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people in the Islamic State-inspired attack in California.
A mobile phone belonging to Farook was recovered but FBI Director James Comey said encryption technology meant they had not been able to access it.
Such technology was "overwhelmingly" affecting law enforcement, he warned.
Mr Comey made the comments at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.
"It affects cops and prosecutors and sheriffs and detectives trying to make murder cases, kidnapping cases, drugs cases.
"It has an impact on our national security work but overwhelmingly this is a problem local law enforcement sees."
This story goes to the heart of the law enforcement vs Silicon Valley debate.
How can it be right, police ask, that the phone of a terrorist can't be accessed by police?
It is an argument FBI chief James Comey has been making for months now, and he argues that encrypted devices are hindering police investigations.
But Silicon Valley's defence has always been the same. If you provide a way for law enforcement to access a criminal's phone once it has been locked, they say, then you're also opening the door to hackers.
All phones - yours, mine, everyone's - would be inherently less secure.

The bus was connected to the Dervock Young Defenders flute band.
Police said the fire, outside an Orange hall on the Carncullagh Road, was reported to them at about 05:30 BST on Friday. It is being treated as a hate crime.
It is understood the flute band's instruments and other equipment were on the vehicle.
"The cause of the fire is being investigated and we are appealing for witnesses to come forward," Insp Michael McDonnell said.
DUP assembly member Mervyn Storey said he had spoken to police about the incident.
"If this was arson I would appeal for full cooperation with the police and that there is no retaliation," he said.
"Regrettably there are a small element of individuals who are determined to spread sectarian hatred."
Earlier, Ulster Unionist councillor Darryl Wilson said he believed it was an arson attack and that "thousands of pounds worth of instruments and pieces of equipment" had been destroyed as a result.
"The bus was used by the wider community, it was used by the youth development programme in the village, it was used by a number of other organisations within the village," he added.
"The community relied on this bus, it was the community who fought hard for the bus and gathered up funds for the bus over a number of years so it will be a devastating loss to not only the band but the entire community.
"This was not only an attack on the band, but an attack on the entire village as the bus was utilised by the community on many occasions throughout the year."
Ray Laverty of the flute band expressed his sadness at what had happened and believed a number of drums he used had been destroyed.
"To me, I have lost a huge chunk of my heart," he added.

The Welsh government asked the worldwide Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to conduct the review in 2012.
The report praised "positive" learning conditions but found many weaknesses.
The most recent Pisa international education tests, which are run by the OECD, ranked Wales bottom in the UK.
Those 2012 Pisa tests in science, maths, and reading were taken by 500,000 15-year-olds in 68 countries.
The OECD review said: "From an international perspective, the performance of 15-year-olds in Wales on Pisa is low overall, and there are too many students performing at low levels.
"The Pisa 2012 reading and science assessments showed that almost one in five Welsh students did not achieve level two which is considered the baseline of proficiency at which students begin to demonstrate competencies to actively participate in life.
"For mathematics this proportion was even higher, almost 30%. These levels are among the lowest in OECD countries."
But the report said that schools in Wales offered positive learning environments with good teacher-student relations and classrooms conducive to learning.
It also praised Welsh schools for minimising the gender difference in student performance.
Following disappointing Pisa tests in 2009 the Welsh government embarked on a series of changes to raise standards and performance.
Several reforms followed including the introduction of the national literacy and numeracy framework for five to 14-year-olds in September 2012, which a year later became a statutory part of the national curriculum.
Statutory reading and numeracy tests for pupils in years two to nine were introduced last May.
But according to the report the Welsh government had tried to do too much too soon.
It said: "The pace of reform has been high and lacks a long-term vision, an adequate school improvement infrastructure and a clear implementation strategy all stakeholders share."
One of the most controversial reforms by the Welsh government is school banding, introduced in 2011.
Teaching unions have argued it does not reflect what is happening in schools and that the requirements change from year to year.
The report largely agreed with that, but added the Welsh government should consider making the school banding calculation method more transparent.
The report also criticised the standards of teachers in Wales, and the lack of options for career progression and professional development for teachers and head teachers.
But it said schools in Wales found it difficult to recruit high-calibre teachers, which may be a result of the standard of applicants on teacher training courses.
Successive Welsh education ministers have made attempts to place more emphasis on tackling the link between poverty and low educational achievements.
There are several schemes which aim to raise the attainment of pupils from the poorest families, such as the pupil deprivation grant, but the report claimed the system was too complex.
Responding to the findings, Education Minister Huw Lewis told BBC Radio Wales a reform programme was already "tackling" and "grappling" with the issues.
"We also need to think about the medium and the long term and that's why later on this spring, for instance, I will be making further announcements around our support programme concerning training for teachers," he said.
"I'm very concerned that we have the proper support network around the professionals that are delivering at the sharp end and I want to make sure they're getting everything that they need."
This is the first time we have had a major, independent report that has been so critical of the Welsh government.
Many of the points it raises echo what teaching unions and opposition parties have been saying for some time.
Huw Lewis refuses to accept what the OECD says about reforms going ahead too quickly.
Instead he says there will be a period of calm for the next couple of years with no new policy initiatives.
There is a major review of the curriculum underway, but we will not get the full report for 18 months and it will not be introduced for about four years.
The minister will attend this week's OECD's education policy committee meeting in Paris to discuss the report's findings.
The National Union of Teachers in Wales said the sector has to be given better support in delivering new initiatives and that they must be less "knee-jerk in their formation".
The ATL Cymru union said the report should make uneasy reading for ministers but Dr Christopher Howard, of NAHT Cymru, said it was one of the most "honest, objective, rounded and helpful reports" in the last few years.
The Conservatives called it "yet another scathing report" while Plaid Cymru accused the Welsh government of "blaming the education sector for failures when it hasn't given a clear indication of what the sector is setting out to achieve". | A major review of the schools system says the Welsh government lacks a long-term vision for education and does not do enough to support teachers. | 26962501 |

Man-of-the-match Charles Piutau set up Sean Reidy for the only try of the game with a moment of genius which helped Ulster to a 10-6 lead at half-time.
The Chiefs trailed 16-15 when Gareth Steenson kicked a drop goal in the 77th minute to nudge his side into the lead.
Jackson replied a minute later and then Steenson missed with another attempt.
Ulster overcame the disappointment of last week's 28-13 defeat away to Bordeaux-Begles by dominating possession and territory for much of the game and were ultimately rewarded with a crucial home win.

The brilliance of Piutau, who scored a late try for Wasps to end Exeter's hopes at the quarter-final stage of the competition last year, proved the difference between the sides.
Two penalties from Steenson to one from fellow fly-half Jackson gave the English visitors a 6-3 lead, but an outstanding piece of play by New Zealander Piutau proved the catalyst to moving his side ahead.
The Ulster winger dummied three defenders and showed a lightning burst of speed to break into the visitors' 22 on the half hour and after he released the ball, flanker Reidy picked up and drove over the line, Jackson converting.
The Irish province suffered a setback when Ireland international Iain Henderson was forced to come off with a shoulder injury.
Jackson and Steenson continued to trade penalties as the outcome hung in the balance until the two fly-halves knocked over those perfectly executed drop goals, taking their overall tallies to 14 and 18 points respectively.
Steenson, a former Ulster player, had the chance to secure victory for his side but his last-gasp attempt flew agonisingly just wide of the upright.
Exeter, who enjoyed superiority in the scrum, now face a major uphill battle to make the last eight knockout stages for a second successive year and have now won just two of their eight competitive matches this season.
However, the performance of last year's Premiership runners-up will have given some encouragement to head coach Rob Baxter following their 35-8 trouncing by Clermont Auvergne in their pool opener at Sandy Park last week.
Pool leaders Clermont had beaten Bordeaux 49-33 earlier on Saturday, with both sides claiming a bonus point.
Ulster, who head the Pro12 standings, now lie third in the group, behind Clermont on 10 points and Bordeaux on five, with a double-header against the French Top 14 leaders to come in December.

A lawyer for the city said Ferguson's insurance company had paid $1.5m (£1.2m).
Michael Brown Sr and Lesley McSpadden sued the city and police force for wrongful death compensation.
The judge called the sum "fair and reasonable for this wrongful death claim".
The city's insurance could have paid a maximum of $3m, according to the St Louis Post-Dispatch. The money will be split between the parents and their lawyers.
US District Judge E Richard Webber authorised the payment on Tuesday, but ordered the figure to be kept sealed.
"Disclosure of the terms of the settlement agreement could jeopardise the safety of individuals involved in this matter, whether as witnesses, parties, or investigator," the judge wrote.
He added that the figure "provides for a reasonable amount" for legal fees and expenses incurred by the family.
However, state law requires that the figure be released, leading to city attorney Apollo Carey's disclosure on Friday morning.
The lawsuit filed by the parents in 2014 claimed that their son's death was due to a police culture of pervasive hostility towards African-Americans, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
They claimed Officer Darren Wilson used excessive and unreasonable force when he shot and killed Michael Brown on 9 August 2014.
The death led to riots and intermittent protests, and helped spawn the Black Lives Matter social justice movement.
A jury declined to indict Mr Wilson, who has since left the police force, after finding there was sufficient evidence to prove he had been attacked by Michael Brown. | The parents of Michael Brown, who was shot dead nearly three years ago by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, have received a financial settlement. | 40385384 |
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS), which monitors the archipelago's bird population, said numbers were falling across a range of seabird species.
Across seven monitoring sites there was just one kittiwake nest this season. The only chick that hatched died later.
The islands are 64km (40 miles) north-west of the Western Isles.
They are recognised as one of the most significant sanctuaries for seabirds in the Atlantic.
But the NTS said its annual survey suggested that after a century of growth, seabird populations on the archipelago were rapidly falling.
It is thought that significant changes in the marine ecosystem, with plankton moving 1,000km (621 miles) to the north is reducing a key food source around St Kilda.
Dr Richard Luxmoore, senior nature conservation adviser at the trust, said: "Seabirds are essentially part of the marine ecosystem. Although they breed on land they spend most of their life out at sea and they can tell us a lot about its health.
"In the last 30 years plankton communities have shifted northward by 1,000km, more than the distance from Edinburgh to Paris, and it's having a huge impact.
"If vegetation shifted by a similar distance there would be pandemonium, but because it's happening in the sea we tend not to notice."
This year's seabird survey, which monitors breeding abundance and success, also recorded significant declines in the populations of fulmars, guillemots, puffins and razorbills.
Seven of the seabird species found on St Kilda have significant local populations and four of them - the northern gannet, Atlantic puffin, great skua and Leach's storm-petrel - are important on an international scale.
Dr Luxmoore added: "If the inhabitants of St Kilda were to come back now nearly 90 years after their evacuation and see the cliffs that were once teeming with seabirds now almost empty, they would be horrified to see what has happened on the island where they once lived." | Kittiwake numbers on St Kilda have plummeted to their lowest level, with experts fearing the population is at risk of collapse. | 38225653 |
The US rock band had to pull out of their headline slot after Dave Grohl fractured his leg in a stage fall.
It's not the first time the festival has had to book a last minute replacement - U2, the Stone Roses and Kylie Minogue have all cancelled appearances due to illness or injury. It's almost as if the Pyramid Stage is cursed...
But who is likely to step in for the Foo Fighters on 26 June?
Already on the bill, and basking in the afterglow of their third number one album, Florence and the Machine are the most likely choice.
Proven festival headliners with a set of earthy, mystical songs they fit neatly with the Glastonbury ethos.
Hits like Kiss With A Fist and Shake It Up will sound perfect as the sun sets in Somerset, and their promotion up the bill would help settle a gender imbalance.
But singer Florence Welch should be wary of the curse of the Pyramid Stage - she broke her foot while playing Coachella in April.
Never bad at Glastonbury, the Britpop survivors played the gig of their lifetime at the 2009 festival. The set was so emotional, Damon Albarn even broke into tears after To The End.
A brilliant new album, The Magic Whip, would stop a 2015 set being a repeat performance with songs like Ong Ong and Lonesome Street going down particularly well at the Isle of Wight Festival last weekend.
Albarn also has form in helping Glastonbury out of a crisis - he brought his animated hip-hop collective Gorillaz to the main stage when U2 dropped out in 2010. Although it was a poorly received set.
A natural substitute for the hard-rocking riffage of the Foo Fighters, AC/DC were widely rumoured to be in the frame for Glastonbury earlier this year.
But the band poured cold water on the story, with frontman Brian Johnson describing the festival as "wellies and corporate".
But after hearing Metallica had played in 2014, their attitude softened. "If they ask… OK," said guitarist Angus Young.
Detractors say the band has been writing the same exact song over and over for years - but it's a pretty good song, and Glastonbury would be a perfect place to air Highway to Hell and Back in Black.
Luckily, they're between dates on their European tour on 26 June.
Emily Eavis probably has Chris Martin on speed dial. The band are a reliable Glastonbury stalwart, with anthems aplenty.
Glastonbury also gave the band a considerable leg up in 2005, when they were booked to lead the Pyramid Stage while still relatively untested. Nevertheless, they were the talk of the festival afterwards, thanks to a particularly heartfelt rendition of The Scientist.
A headline slot would give fans a rare chance to hear last year's well-received Ghost Stories album live - the group only played two UK dates on their brief world tour.
But they might want to hold fire until next year. Chris Martin has hinted the band's seventh studio album could be their swansong.
Assuming Dave Grohl, the nicest man in rock, doesn't want to leave Glastonbury in the lurch, he could put in a call to his good friends Queens of the Stone Age.
Josh Homme's band played a blistering headline set on Glastonbury's Other Stage in 2013, drawing a sizeable crowd despite being scheduled against Beyonce.
They're currently in the recording studio, but have scheduled to play Rock in Rio this September, which means they could be battle ready.
A popular suggestion on social media, Swift is certainly riding a wave this year, thanks to the unassailable pop of her new album 1989.
Handily, she's in the UK next week and has Friday night off before playing the BST festival in Hyde Park the following day.
But it's been a long time since Glastonbury booked such an unashamedly commercial act as its headliner - and while the crowd would undoubtedly lap up Shake It Off and Blank Space, they might find the country elements of her set unpalatable.
Maybe she could win the crowd over with a headbanging cover the Foo Fighters' Best of You?
Every year, a rumour sweeps around Glastonbury that Daft Punk are "definitely" playing a secret set over the weekend.
Why should this year be any different?
See above.
He's been listed as a potential headliner for years, and at one point looked set to sign up for 2015. For whatever reason, negotiations fell apart but a last-minute booking would suit the star's hit-and-run philosophy.
If the Minneapolis musician did pop, it would undoubtedly go down as one of Glastonbury's legendary performances. He's at the top of his game, thanks to his muscular, perfectly-drilled new band 3rd Eye Girl - and, as he's fond of telling audiences: "I got so many hits we don't have time to play 'em all."
But even just the staples of his set - Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, Kiss, Little Red Corvette - would be the envy of any headliner.
The Chain, Don't Stop, Tusk, Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac have no shortage of hits to supply to the Pyramid Stage. But, it seems, they're not that keen on travelling down to Somerset.
Their Isle Of Wight set last weekend was billed as a "worldwide festival exclusive", and organiser John Giddings claimed Glastonbury bosses were green with envy.
"Michael Eavis said, 'How did you get Fleetwood Mac?' I said, 'I paid them!'" he told Music Week.
If the band were to capitulate, though, they'd have to cancel or postpone a show at London's O2 Arena, which is booked for the same night.
Muse last headlined Glastonbury in 2010, welcoming The Edge on stage in the year that U2 were forced to pull out.
Their star has waned in the intervening years (with the critics, at least) but they are still a thrilling, compelling live act.
On their new album, Drones, they've ditched the frilly faux-operatics of their more recent work in favour of proto-metal riffs and Matt Bellamy's soaring vocals.

The stash was found by metal detector on private land in October 2012 by a man making his first survey.
The find is believed to be one of the largest Roman gold coin hoards buried in the UK.
The 159 coins date from the final years of Roman rule in Britain in the 4th Century and will go on display at Verulamium Museum from mid-September.
David Thorold, a curator at the museum, said: "Evidence suggests the coins were originally part of a hoard that had been disturbed at some point during the last couple of hundred years.
"During the Roman occupation of Britain, people buried coins for two reasons - either as a sacrifice to their gods or as a form of secure storage, with the aim of later recovery."
He said gold coins, known as solidi, were extremely valuable and not traded or exchanged on a regular basis.
Instead they were used for large transactions.
The coins, discovered by Westley Carrington during his first metal-detecting outing, were scattered across a wide area.
They were mostly struck in the Italian cities of Milan and Ravenna and issued under the Emperors Gratian, Valentinian, Theodosius, Arcadius and Honorius.
Richard Shwe, from St Albans City and District Council, said it had purchased the coins, found in the north of the city, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, St Albans Museums and Galleries Trust and an overseas benefactor, who wished to remain anonymous.
An inquest in July 2013 declared the hoard treasure, giving the museum the right to acquire them, and the value was decided by an independent committee at the British Museum. | A hoard of Roman gold coins found in St Albans has been bought by one of the city's museums for nearly £100,000. | 32844648 |
The man being assaulted has special needs, police say. His assailants can be heard making derogatory statements against white people and President-elect Donald Trump.
In one part of the video they use a knife to remove part of his scalp.
Chicago police have described the video as a "sickening" possible hate crime.
"It makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that," Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a press conference streamed on Twitter.
"I've been a cop for 28 years, and I've seen things that you shouldn't see in a lifetime, but it still amazes me how you still see things that you just shouldn't."
Police say the unnamed white victim is an acquaintance of one of the attackers and may have been kidnapped for up to 48 hours prior to the assault.

They say he has been released from hospital after being traumatised by the attack.
In the press conference senior police officers paid tribute to the speedy response of officers in rescuing the stricken man.
In the 30-minute video, the attackers can be seen cutting the 18-year-old victim's clothes, dropping cigarette ash on him, pushing his head back with a foot and drawing blood by cutting off some of his hair with a knife.
Several people can be seen laughing and smoking as the attack takes place.
The incident happened on Tuesday, police say, in a flat on Chicago's West Side. Police say they found the victim wandering in the streets in a disorientated and distressed state after the assault.
Later they say they responded to reports of an assault close to where he was discovered and uncovered evidence of violence and damage to property.
Police say the victim was a high-risk missing person and two men and two women are now in custody. One of the women is reported to have broadcast the beating on Facebook.

NHS 111 call handlers are not medically trained, and a report on the 2014 death of William Mead, from Cornwall, said he might have lived if they had realised the seriousness of his condition.
The NHS England report said GPs had also failed to diagnose him.
It urged better recognition of sepsis.
But it said that if a medic had taken the final phone call, instead of an NHS 111 adviser using a computer system, they probably would have realised William's "cries as a child in distress" meant he needed urgent medical attention.
Melissa Mead, William's mother, said doctors told her "not to worry" and NHS 111 said "it's nothing serious" before her son's death.
Speaking about sepsis, she said "hardly anyone knows what it is" and called for better awareness among GPs and parents.
Analysis: The wider lessons for the NHS
Twelve-month-old William, from Penryn, died on 14 December 2014.
At that time, the cause of death was put down to natural causes, but a coroner's inquest in June 2015 found he had died from treatable blood poisoning - known as septicaemia - caused by a long-standing chest infection.
Mrs Mead had taken him to the GP numerous times in the months leading up to his death.
The report, seen by the Daily Mail and BBC News, details the opportunities missed to save William's life. It found:
"Had any of these different courses of action been taken, William would probably have survived," the report said.
It said call advisers needed to be trained to spot when there was a need to probe further and when to escalate cases.
It also called for better recognition by GPs of the signs and symptoms of septicaemia.
Lindsey Scott, director of nursing with NHS England in the South West, said: "Everyone involved in this report is determined to make sure lessons are learned from William's death, so other families don't have to go through the same trauma.
"None of this detracts from our profound regret at the loss of William. For that loss, on behalf of all NHS organisations involved, I would like to apologise publicly to Mr and Mrs Mead."
She said staff at the local NHS 111 service had since been given extra training to recognise when cases might be more complex and need referring up.
Mrs Mead said: "We are glad the report has shown up there were failures and missed opportunities. We hope from the recommendations made this never happens again.
"We fought the hardest battle to get answers, knowing we had already lost William."
Sepsis: Why can it be so hard to spot?
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said it was a "tragic case" and apologised for the "serious failings".
He said: "The recommendations are far far-reaching with national implications.
"When you look at the totality of what the Mead family suffered, there is a confusion in the public mind which the NHS needs to address.
"The issue is that there are too many choices and you can't always get through quickly to the help you need. We need to improve the simplicity of the system so when you go to 111 you aren't asked a barrage of questions and you get the care you need more quickly."
He said there had already been a renewed push to educate GPs on the signs of sepsis, but that there was also scope for a public awareness campaign.
Shadow Health Secretary Heidi Alexander added: "We owe it to the parents [of William] to implement the recommendations." | Doubts have been raised about whether England's NHS out-of-hours helpline is able to identify serious illnesses in children, after a baby died of blood poisoning following a chest infection. | 35403822 |
The England forward, 20 has rejected a new £100,000-a-week contract, and denied being a "money-grabber" in a BBC Sport interview last month.
Sterling told Brendan Rodgers he wants to go before the Chelsea game on 10 May and will now meet the Reds manager and chief executive Ian Ayre on Friday.
It is understood Liverpool want to keep Sterling, whose deal ends in 2017.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Should he be made available, Manchester City remain the frontrunners for his signature but Arsenal and a number of leading European clubs have also expressed an interest.
While Liverpool insist they will not sell for any price this summer, their resolve may be tested by an offer in the region of £35m.
Sterling - whose current contract is worth £35,000 a week - said in an interview on 1 April that he "talks about winning trophies" rather than money.
Former Reds defender and BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson said at the time that Sterling had put himself "under pressure" with his comments.
Liverpool's last piece of silverware came in 2012, when they won the League Cup, and they have missed out on Champions League qualification for next season.
Rodgers has previously said: "Liverpool are one of the superpowers of football and if the owners don't want to sell, they don't have to."
Speaking on Friday, captain Steven Gerrard told Sterling to stay and play for a coach who "believes in him".
"I think there is no-one better for him than Brendan Rodgers," said Gerrard, who will join MLS side LA Galaxy this summer after 17 years at Anfield.
"The danger for younger players is they want it all too soon and go to another club and just become a number."
Former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton: "Supporters are coming to the end of their tether with Raheem, he still hasn't learnt.
"The club could take a real stance, but it's not advisable. The best thing is to let him go and invest the £40m-£50m in players that want to come to the club."
Ex-Everton midfielder Kevin Kilbane on BBC Radio 5 live: "It shows the changing face of football, it is very much manufactured. I think it lacks a lot of class.
"If Sterling does not want to stay at Liverpool, fair enough, there may be underlying reasons why he does not want to stay. But surely the negotiations, especially with a lad who has a lot to prove and a long way to go in the game, can be done behind closed doors, in a way that best suits everyone."
Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher said Sterling is "not some flash young kid", but added the thought of him "taking on" Liverpool over contract negotiations annoyed him "to the pit of my stomach".
"You keep your mouth shut and get on with playing football.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "Raheem Sterling will obviously move on at some stage, he doesn't want to be at the club and this looks like a tactic to force the club's hand.
"Liverpool had a chance to win a trophy this season in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa - where was Sterling? Trophies don't get handed out, you've got to earn them. You've got to deliver in big games and he hasn't done that yet."
Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville added: "Liverpool haven't handled contracts well at all in the past 18 months." | Liverpool's Raheem Sterling is expected to tell the club he wants a move away from Anfield this summer. | 32789389 |

The OCI said it is a personal matter for Mr Hickey.
However, the OCI is currently paying Mr Hickey's legal fees.
A judge in Brazil ruled on Wednesday that the former OCI president is to be given back his passport.
Mr Hickey, 71, must pay a bond to the court of €410,000 (1.5m Brazilian dollars).
Justice Juliana Leal de Melo of the Special Court for Supporter and Large Events in Rio de Janeiro, which had jurisdiction during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, ruled that Mr Hickey can be allowed to leave Brazil "to treat a health problem".
The former OCI president is among ten people facing charges related to an investigation into alleged ticket touting at Rio 2016.
He has denied all allegations made against him.
Although he was released almost two weeks after his arrest in August, Brazilian officials retained Mr Hickey's passport.
Lawyers for Irish man Kevin Mallon, who has also been charged in this case and had his passport seized after his arrest in August, are expected to meet the relevant judge to reiterate a request for the return of Mr Mallon's passport.
There was no mention in the judge's decision on Mr Hickey on Wednesday night regarding the return of Mr Mallon's passport, but his legal team say this is not of concern to them.
Sao Paulo based lawyer, Franklin Gomes, said that the judge has not yet considered his plea to allow Mr Mallon to leave Brazil and that he will travel to Rio in the coming days to speak personally to the judge. | The Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) has confirmed that it will not be paying the €410,000 bond which former president Pat Hickey has to pay as a condition of being allowed to leave Brazil on medical grounds. | 38013645 |
The internationally successful musician was being interviewed by Nick Grimshaw in his studio in Los Angeles.
He was asked by one listener if he had ever been turned away from a venue before he was famous.
Harris revealed he had been refused entry to a club in Dumfries 15 years ago for having the "wrong shoes".
"The answer would be yes," he said.
"It was Chancers in Dumfries for having the wrong shoes in 2001."
It was a fair cop, I had the wrong shoes on.
However, he said he accepted they had probably been right to turn him away.
"It was a fair cop, I had the wrong shoes on," he said.
"It think it is about mental attitude - that when you have fancy shoes on you are less likely to cause trouble, like, in your mind - do you know what I mean?" he said.
"If you go into a place and you are dressed with trainers and jeans, a T-shirt and all that you are kind of setting yourself up to cause trouble.

The Airbus H145 is the first of two that are to replace the charity's current ageing aircraft.
The new helicopter can fly at night has exceptional flight performance and lower operational and maintenance costs, said the YAA.
With the call sign G-YAAC, it flew on the weekend and is to operate from the Nostell Estate, near Wakefield.
The other new helicopter - G-YOAA - is expected to be in service later in the year and will be based at RAF Topcliffe near Thirsk.
Its two current helicopters G-SASH and G-CEMS are to have a phased retirement once the new aircraft are in operation and will eventually be sold to help the replacement costs.

Dame Rosemary Butler said: "On balance, the risk to the Siambr (chamber) and potential for disruption to business was too great."
It emerged on Sunday that the official assembly body, the Assembly Commission, had not been consulted on the matter.
Commission member Peter Black AM has said he would have allowed filming.
In a statement on Tuesday, Dame Rosemary noted there had been "much criticism" of her decision, but said: "When I am asked to make a decision I have to weigh up the factors involved in each request.
"In this case, as well as recognising the potential advantages, I also considered the probable scale of what was being proposed and the likely impact on the Siambr given the number of people and amount of equipment involved in a production of this type, and the adjustments to the Siambr which would have been involved.
"We offered other areas of the Senedd but this was not taken up."
She added: "I am disappointed that the discussion has portrayed the Assembly as a body that is not open to do business with the creative industries", saying programmes such as Doctor Who and Sherlock had been filmed on assembly property.
Meanwhile Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said the decision to refuse permission to film in the Senedd chamber was "quite bizarre".
He told MPs that the opportunity of shooting scenes in Cardiff Bay featuring "possibly the best-known film character" the movie industry had produced seemed "to have been lost". | The decision to reject a request to film scenes for a James Bond movie in the Senedd chamber has been defended by the assembly's presiding officer. | 31921377 |
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) initially said the $5.2bn fine had been reduced to $3.4bn.
But NCC spokesman Tony Ojobo says the correct amount is $3.9bn (£2.5bn).
The original sanction was imposed in October for failing to cut off unregistered users.
The company has not yet commented.
Since the original fine, the South African company has made a number of senior managerial changes, which included the resignation of the MTN chief executive, Sifiso Dabengwa.
The fine was reduced after MTN complained to the NCC.
"There was a typo. The reduction should have been 25%," Mr Ojobo told the Bloomberg news agency.
"We saw the mistake and had to fix it."
The amount has to be paid by December 31.
MTN has 231 million subscribers in 22 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. However, Nigeria is its biggest market.
In September, the company was named as most admired brand in Africa in the Brand Africa 100 awards, beating Samsung, while it was also awarded the continent's most valuable brand, worth $4.6bn (£3bn).

The Office for National Statistics said industrial output fell 0.5% compared with February, when it dropped by a revised 0.8%.
Falling demand for energy as a result of warmer weather was behind the change, the ONS said.
Construction output fell by 0.7% in March, after a 1.7% fall in February.
Meanwhile, the UK's deficit in goods and services widened to £4.9bn in March, from a revised figure of £2.6bn in February.
The ONS said rising oil imports, as well as imports of machinery and cars, had contributed to the unexpectedly high figure.
"March's simply dreadful trade figures demonstrate that Britain is failing to capitalise on sterling's depreciation," said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
"The trade deficit is extremely volatile, but has shown no underlying improvement since sterling began to depreciate in late 2015."
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Markit, described the figures as "a ropey set of March data for the UK economy that point to a poor end to a disappointing first quarter".
He added: "The poor data dilute any hopes that markedly slower GDP growth of 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter could be revised up.
"Indeed, the actual industrial production data was weaker than estimated in the preliminary first-quarter GDP estimate, while the trade deficit unexpectedly widened." | Activity in the UK's industrial and construction sectors shrank in March, new figures show. | 39880999 |
Drama seems to follow the Mercedes driver around and always has done. But even in a career full of ups and downs, what happened to Hamilton in the Malaysian Grand Prix takes some beating.
Eight points down on team-mate Nico Rosberg following the German's impressive win in the previous race in Singapore, Hamilton drove a perfect weekend, with scintillating pace in qualifying followed by a dominant performance in the race.
With Rosberg on course for fourth place after a strong drive from the back of the field after being turned around by Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari at the first corner, it looked as if that deficit was going to be wiped out in one go, and Hamilton would be back at the head of the championship.
But then a trail of smoke appeared from the back of Hamilton's car as he headed down the pit straight with 17 laps to go.
"Oh no, no," Hamilton said over the radio. He climbed out with flames licking from the exhaust and crouched down with his head in his hands, and it was clear what he was thinking: Why me? Why now? I just can't believe it.
Clearly distraught, he said in broadcast interviews straight afterwards that he wanted to know why of all the eight drivers using Mercedes engines only he was suffering these problems.
"Someone has to give me some answers because it's just not acceptable," he said. "It just doesn't sit right with me."
Some interpreted that as Hamilton implying he felt there was some kind of conspiracy at Mercedes to stop him winning this year - as many of his fans on social media have been claiming all season. Never mind that it would not make sense, that there is no logical reason for it, and that it would be next to impossible to orchestrate in this way.
In any case, asked to explain later on, Hamilton instead pointed to his strong religious beliefs.
"A higher power," he said. "It feels right now as if the man above or a higher power is intervening a little bit. But I feel I have been blessed with so many opportunities. So I have to be grateful for those. While this does not feel great, I have to remain grateful."
All year, since the consecutive engine failures in qualifying at the Chinese and Russian Grands Prix, Hamilton has felt as if the odds were being stacked against him this year.
Those failures were largely - although not entirely - to blame for his emerging from the first four races staring down a 43-point deficit to Rosberg. Bad starts in Australia and Bahrain also played their part.
When the two Mercedes drivers crashed out together on the first lap of the next race in Spain, and Mercedes F1 non-executive chairman Niki Lauda came right out and said on live TV that he felt Hamilton had been to blame - not a unanimous view, it has to be said - Hamilton was at a very low ebb, he has admitted.
But he bounced back, won six of the next seven races, and took a 19-point lead into the summer break.
Then it went wrong again. The engine failures were always going to mean a back-of-the-grid start somewhere for using too many engines - and that came in Belgium at the end of August as Mercedes stockpiled enough power units to get him to the end of the year.
He fought back superbly to finish third there, but then a bad start from pole squandered a potential win in Italy, and Rosberg won in Singapore, where Hamilton struggled all weekend.
Suddenly, Rosberg had won three races in a row and for Hamilton a 19-point lead had become an eight-point deficit, and he had all that work to do again. And now this.
If Mercedes were upset with Hamilton for his initial remarks, they did a very good job of hiding it.
Straight after the race, boss Toto Wolff said: "I have no words. I am so gutted for Lewis. He was in control of that race. Not good. It's clear he is super-frustrated."
After a team meeting to discuss the situation, Wolff was equally understanding.
"Every remark, every answer is allowed after such a frustrating moment," he said. "If you are in the lead and just about to get back into the lead of the championship and the engine blows up, he is allowed to say whatever he wants. It is emotional and completely understandable."
As to why it was happening, Wolff said: "We sat down and said how is this possible? It is a fresh situation that has no rational explanation and I think after recovering a bit he just sees that. In the heat of the moment, no problem."
A couple of hours after the race, Hamilton faced the written media in his usual news conference, which was initially cancelled - "a mutual decision," Mercedes said - and then reinstated because "following discussion with Lewis, he wishes to complete his press call".
Was Hamilton suspicious, he was asked, that there might be some kind of sabotage?
"You have to understand from my point," Hamilton said. "On one side we have had the most incredible success these last two years, for which I am incredibly grateful. These guys work so hard and we are all feeling the pain right now.
"When you get out of the car, the feeling you have after leading and the car fails, it is pretty hard to say positive things.
"But Mercedes have built 43 engines or whatever it is and I have happened to have most of if not all the failures. That is definitely a tough thing. But I have 100% confidence and faith in these guys. I love it here. Without them I would not have won these extra two championships.
"While the struggle is real right now and has been this year, I honestly feel it is constantly a test of will, of my spirit and who I am as a person to get back in and keep fighting it head on. It's not how you fall, it's how you get back up.
"That doesn't just apply to me. I saw tears in the eyes of my mechanics, so I know we all feel the pain.
"We have to bear in mind what we have already built. And while this does not look good, there are still five races to go, I don't know if my two engines will make it, but I can only hope. And if I perform as I have this weekend then everything is all to play for."
But he added that he would still be looking for an explanation as to what was going on.
"I need to understand why these keep happening on us," he said.
"Forty-three engines. There are eight cars out there powered by the same engine as mine and mine happens to fail and for Mercedes I am the number one driver. So for sure when these things happen I want to understand what that is and how they are going to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Twenty three points sound - and are - a lot. It is two points shy of a clear win, and there are only five races remaining with a maximum of 125 points still available.
The size of the task is clear when you think that if Hamilton wins every race from now on with Rosberg second, it will take four races before the Englishman is back in the lead.
The thing is, though, Hamilton is more than capable of doing that if he consistently performs at his best.
He won six races out of seven from May to July this year. Ten of the first 16 in 2015. And in 2014 four of the first five, and then five in a row after falling 29 points behind Rosberg following their controversial collision at the Belgian Grand Prix that year.
Wolff said: "The championship is not over. Lewis had a massive blow; that's clear. But let them battle it out hopefully without any reliability woes and see how it plays out."
Hamilton said: "I will continue to fight but if at the end of the year the higher power does not want me to be champion with everything I have given towards it, I have to accept that.
"But as long as I end my year knowing I have given it everything and done everything I possibly could and we have, that is all you can ask for."
If he pulls it off, it would almost certainly be his greatest achievement. That, in itself, is a reason to keep going.
Not that he will need one. The sense of injustice he feels is too big. | It is beginning to feel as if this is just not going to be Lewis Hamilton's year. | 37534619 |
The 26-year-old was top scorer in the Scottish Premiership this season.
"He's a player that we are interested in, but that's as far as it has gone at the moment," said the Championship club's manager Nigel Clough.
He also told the Burton Mail that reports of his club triggering a £500,000 clause were inaccurate.
Boyce, who found the net for the 25th time this season in his country's 1-0 win over New Zealand this month, joined County from Cliftonville in 2014.
He still has a year left to run on his contract with the Dingwall club and manager Jim McIntyre said last month that they have no interest in selling the Northern Irishman.
Boyce, who spent a year with Werder Bremen in between two spells with Cliftonville, himself said he was in no rush to leave County.
If he was to join Burton, he would follow the path of Australia midfielder Jackson Irvine, who made the switch for an undisclosed fee last summer and who Clough admits they might struggle to hold on to.
Meanwhile, centre-half Ben Turner has ended speculation about his future by signing a new two-year contract with the Brewers.
The Birmingham-born 29-year-old former Coventry City and Cardiff City defender was brought to Burton by Clough a year ago in June 2016 on a one-year deal.
"We want to try to keep the nucleus and then add to it from there," added Clough. "It is important because it gives you that continuity and they know what we are about and what to expect in the Championship next season.
"It is important we add some different kind of players. The squad's still looking thin. We are certainly trying to get a few permanent signings in and two or three loans as well." | Burton Albion have revealed an interest in Ross County's Liam Boyce but have not triggered a release clause for the Northern Ireland striker. | 40246584 |
Martin Williams, from Johnstown, was joined by assistant referees Geraint, 19 and Sian, 16 for the JD Welsh Cup match between Llanberis FC and Mold Alexandra.
Mr Williams said it is the first time this has happened in a Welsh cup game.
"It's a possible world first as well," he added. "It would be nice if it was."
Mr Williams, 50, has been a referee since 1998 and has officiated at a Welsh cup final and a Welsh Premier League cup final.
Son Geraint, a student at Bangor University, turned to refereeing after giving up as a player in his early teens.
"I still wanted to be involved in football so my dad gave me the advice of becoming a referee," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme. "I took the course at 14 and five years later, I'm still doing it."
His sister Sian's reason for getting involved is more pragmatic: "It was more the fact that my friends do paper rounds and get £12 a week. It's just earning a lot more money than I would if I got a paper round, getting cold and wet in the mornings."
"Sometimes there's quite a lot of disagreement," she added. "I'll give a throw-in one way and my dad says, 'no it's the other [way]' and that gets me a bit annoyed."
"It's a very proud moment for me as a dad," said Mr Williams.
"But obviously once that first whistle goes we all switch on and we've got a job to do." | A football referee from Wrexham made sporting history on Saturday by officiating alongside his son and daughter. | 37529530 |
The party leader said there were "grave concerns" about language used in a BBC interview by the former London mayor.
But Mr Corbyn said: "There's no crisis. Where there is any racism in the party... it will be rooted out."
MP John Mann, who called Mr Livingstone a "Nazi apologist" in a public confrontation, has been reprimanded.
The Labour MP had been referring to comments Mr Livingstone made about Adolf Hitler.
The row was prompted by the suspension of Labour MP Naz Shah over comments she made about Israel on social media.
Mr Livingstone appeared on BBC Radio London defending her and said he had never heard anyone in the Labour Party say anything anti-Semitic.
He added: "When Hitler won his election in 1932 his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."
Labour MP John Mann then accused Mr Livingstone of being a "Nazi apologist" in front of a media scrum as he arrived at Westminster's media studios.
Asked about the confrontation on the BBC's Daily Politics, Mr Livingstone said Mr Mann "went completely over the top" but Mr Mann stood by his remarks.
Mr Livingstone said he was not suggesting Hitler was a Zionist, saying the Nazi leader was "a monster from start to finish", but he said he had simply been quoting historical "facts".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his long-time ally had been suspended amid "very grave concerns about the language he used in the interview this morning" and would face an investigation by the party.
He told BBC deputy political editor John Pienaar: "Anybody that thinks this party is not cracking down on anti-Semitism is simply wrong. We have suspended where appropriate, we have investigated all cases. We will not tolerate anti-Semitism in any form whatsoever in the party."
Asked if there was a crisis in the party, he said: "It's not a crisis. There's no crisis. Where there is any racism in the party it will be dealt with, it will be rooted out."
He said those who suggested the party was in crisis were "nervous of the strength of the Labour Party at local level".
Meanwhile, a Labour spokesman said John Mann was told it was "completely inappropriate for Labour Members of Parliament to be involved in very public rows on the television".
For years it has been more surprising when Ken Livingstone hasn't raised hackles than when he has.
That's why so many Labour MPs feared a miscalculation when their party's leader brought his old comrade back into the fold.
But his staggering comments today about Hitler and anti-Semitism crossed a line - they were enough for Jeremy Corbyn to suspend him.
But the problem for the leader doesn't end with that act.
No one believes that Jeremy Corbyn himself tolerates discrimination against Jews.
But on repeated occasions Labour has been slow and clumsy in closing down cases of anti-Semitism among its members when they emerge.
Any moments of delay or doubts about the leadership's determination, open the window a tiny crack to the kind of intolerance that the vast majority of the Labour Party, and indeed the public, find appalling.
Public denials that there is even an issue could make it even worse. Perhaps in politics as in normal life, the first step towards fixing a problem is acknowledging that it exists.
And with only a week before Jeremy Corbyn's first big test at the polls, In elections in London, Scotland, Wales, and all round England, it's the kind of mess, and political distraction Labour could do without.
On Wednesday Labour MP Naz Shah was suspended, pending an investigation, over comments she made on Facebook before she became an MP, including a suggestion that Israel should be moved to the United States.
She has apologised but it sparked fresh claims from senior Labour figures that the party was not doing enough to tackle growing anti-Semitism in its ranks.
Shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant told MPs: "I'm sick and tired of people trying to explain it away and, yes, I'm talking to you Ken Livingstone."
Ken Livingstone's way with a provocative soundbite was the making of him, propelling him to national prominence from the grey world of local government, but it has also got him into a lot of hot water over the years. Not for nothing is his autobiography called You Can't Say That.
He was suspended from office as London mayor for four weeks in 2006 for comparing a Jewish journalist to a concentration camp guard - a comment he continues to be unrepentant about, saying it was a "fuss about nothing". The suspension was overturned in court.
He remains popular in left wing circles as one of the few socialists to have achieved real power in the UK - but he had largely disappeared from the political scene, following his defeat in 2012 London mayoral contest.
He was enjoying semi-retirement when his old friend and ally Jeremy Corbyn was unexpectedly elected Labour leader last year. The two go back a long way.
Profile: Ken Livingstone
Labour's mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan said: "Ken Livingstone's comments are appalling and inexcusable. There must be no place for this in our party."
And Labour MP Rachel Reeves, told BBC Newsnight: "We know we've got a growing problem of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. But also part of the problem is the slow response from the leadership of the party. We do need to see much swifter and more decisive action."
Explaining his stance, in a BBC News Channel interview, Mr Livingstone said Naz Shah was "not anti-Semitic - she was completely over the top, what she said was rude".
He added: "I've heard a lot of people being critical of Israel, but if I was to denounce the South African government, you wouldn't say I was racist.
"And one of my worries is this confusion with anti-Semitism and criticising the Israeli government policy undermines the importance is tackling real anti-Semitism."
But Jonathan Arkush, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said Mr Livingstone's comments were "abhorrent and beyond disgraceful".
"He denies anti-Semitism in Labour when the evidence is there for all to see. He lacks any sense of reality and decency. He must now be expelled from the Labour Party."
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was "quite clear the Labour Party has got a problem with anti-Semitism" adding: "They've got to deal with it."

The Work and Pensions Select Committee found there was little evidence that lower payments would motivate disabled people to find work.
The allowance is set to be reduced from £102 to £73 per week from April.
Ministers have argued that savings would be invested in a new support package for the most vulnerable.
The committee said evidence supporting the idea that introducing a lower rate of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) would enhance incentives to work was "ambiguous at best".
It welcomed a decision to make some severely disabled claimants exempt from repeated reassessment for ESA but said it had deep concerns about assessments proposed in the recent work and health green paper.
The committee said ministers should consider using incentives such as reductions in National Insurance contributions to encourage employers to employ people with disabilities.
Committee chairman Frank Field said: "We expect the government to respond to this report before the proposed new lower rate of ESA is due in April.
"If they intend to proceed with these cuts, we expect an explanation of how this will not be detrimental to its target of halving the disability employment gap, by making finding and keeping a job even more difficult for disabled people than it already is."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "The number of disabled people in work has increased by almost 600,000 in the last three years, but we're determined to go even further.
"Our Work and Health Green Paper marks the next stage of our action to confront the attitudes, prejudices and misunderstandings that have become ingrained within the minds of employers and across wider society.
"Our welfare reforms are increasing the support and incentives for people to move into work, while keeping an important safety net in place for those who need it.
"In addition to ESA, we also offer support through Personal Independence Payments, to help with the extra costs associated with being disabled." | Cuts in disability benefits should be delayed until the government clarifies how it will support those in need of extra money, a group of MPs has said. | 38846115 |
Mossburn Distillers want to build the plant near the former Jedforest Hotel at Camptown.
Developers claim it could create 50 full-time jobs and produce millions of bottles a year. The proposed facilities include a 200-seat restaurant.
A planning application has been submitted to Scottish Borders Council with a decision expected in the autumn.
The company is also behind the Torabhaig distillery on the Isle of Skye.
The project is one of a number of schemes in the pipeline for the Borders which has no whisky distilleries at present.

Kerry Reeves, 26, died two days after being shot in the face outside flats in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in November.
Billy Johnson, 20, from Corby, Northamptonshire, and Charles Noble, 21, from London, were found guilty of Ms Reeve's murder.
A jury at Oxford Crown Court heard there had been "tension" between the defendants and some of her friends.
Both sides had a background of drugs, alcohol and violence and Johnson and Noble were heroin dealers, the court heard.
Jurors were told how Ms Reeves, armed with a metal baseball bat, and two of her friends had gone looking for the pair when they were ambushed by them outside the flats at Thornhill Walk, Abingdon on 3 November last year.
She was taken to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after being shot, but died two days later.

Footage has emerged from an event last week at which Mr Johnson said UK ally Saudi Arabia was engaging in "proxy wars" in the Middle East.
The PM's spokeswoman said these were the foreign secretary's personal views.
But former minister Crispin Blunt said No 10 had been "a little too sensitive in responding to his remarks".
Laura Kuenssberg: Is Boris in bother?
The chairman of the foreign affairs select committee told the BBC: "We have an intellectually brilliant foreign secretary who is thinking about the issues and engaging fully. Boris is making the personal transition to foreign secretary from commentator and the watching media jump on every mis-speak."
He added: "He and the prime minister have complementary skills sets and the UK needs both."
Mr Johnson's comments were made at a conference in Rome last week but only emerged after the The Guardian newspaper published footage of the event.
In it the foreign secretary said: "There are politicians who are twisting and abusing religion and different strains of the same religion in order to further their own political objectives.
"That's one of the biggest political problems in the whole region. And the tragedy for me - and that's why you have these proxy wars being fought the whole time in that area - is that there is not strong enough leadership in the countries themselves."
Mr Johnson told the Med 2 conference: "There are not enough big characters, big people, men or women, who are willing to reach out beyond their Sunni or Shia or whatever group to the other side and bring people together and to develop a national story again.
"That is what's lacking. And that's the tragedy," he said, adding that "visionary leadership" was needed in the region.
He went on: "That's why you've got the Saudis, Iran, everybody, moving in and puppeteering and playing proxy wars."
By BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale
The prime minister has just come back from the Gulf where she has been promoting Britain's engagement with a part of the world whose trade will be hugely important after Brexit.
She has dined with the Saudi king, praised the kingdom for its reforms and given thanks for the vital intelligence the Saudi security services have provided Britain over the years.
And then Theresa May returned to hear her foreign secretary had dismissed the Saudis as "puppeteers" playing at "proxy wars".
It is little wonder that her official spokeswoman came down on Mr Johnson like a tonne of black-edged Downing Street bricks, saying that the foreign secretary was not expressing the government's position and he will have the opportunity to set out the correct government position when he visits Saudi Arabia at the weekend.

BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale described Downing Street's response as a "pretty robust slapdown" and while Mr Johnson's comments were "clearly awkward" for the government.
He said many people would agree with the analysis that many of the Middle East conflicts were proxy wars fought between Sunni and Shia factions, often in the form of Iran and Saudi Arabia being on opposing sides, such as in Syria and Yemen - but it was not the official government position.
Downing Street's comment came as Prime Minister Theresa May returned from a visit to the Gulf where she had dinner with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
Her spokeswoman said that Mrs May wanted to strengthen the relationship with Saudi Arabia, saying, "we are supporting the Saudi-led coalition in support of the legitimate government in Yemen against Houthi rebels".
She said: "Those are the prime minister's views - the foreign secretary's views are not the government's position on, for example, Saudi Arabia and its role in the region."
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry accused the government of "shabby hypocrisy".
"The government cannot complain about Saudi Arabia's military actions one minute, then continue selling it the arms to prosecute those actions the next," she said.
Tom Brake, the Lib Dems' foreign affairs spokesman, said: "This will be a huge embarrassment to May as she returns from her grubby tour of the Gulf, where she did her best to ignore human rights and desperately push trade at all costs." | Downing Street has said Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's comments on Saudi Arabia do not represent "the government's position". | 38248316 |
The stand-off occurred at a residential address in Tilson Gardens in Clapham South, on Friday morning.
Police had tried to enter the property to help evict the man but, as they were doing so, a man was seen inside with what was thought to be handgun.
The firearm recovered at the scene is undergoing forensic tests, police said.
It is not yet clear if the object was a gun or a stun gun.
The 34-year-old man was shot outside the premises at about 16:45 BST, after armed response teams were called to the scene along with negotiators and ambulance crews.
He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, police said.
The man was initially said to be in a critical condition but he is now described as stable.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the incident.
In a statement it said: "IPCC investigators will continue to work at the scene today carrying out further forensic examinations, conducting house-to-house enquiries and a trawl for CCTV in the area.

French firm EDF, which is financing most of the £18bn project in Somerset, approved its funding at a board meeting on Thursday.
China General Nuclear Power Corporation is contributing a third of the money.
Contracts were due to be signed by all the parties on Friday.
But in a surprise move, the government said it was "only right" to review such a significant project and would make a decision by the autumn.
According to the BBC's Newsnight programme it was security concerns over Chinese ownership of British nuclear power stations that were the primary reason why Prime Minister Theresa May postponed a final decision on the deal until later in the year.
Meanwhile, EDF's UK boss Vincent de Rivaz has written to staff, saying: "The new prime minister has been in post for just 16 days. Her full cabinet has been in post even fewer.
"We can understand their need to take a little time. We fully respect the prime minister's method."
He added: "The very good news is that we are ready. The [EDF] board's decision means that when the government is ready to go ahead, we are ready too."
The delay decision has been described as "bewildering and bonkers" by the GMB union national secretary for energy Justin Bowden, who fear it could jeopardise 25,000 jobs.
"After years of procrastination, what is required is decisive action not dithering and more delay," he said.

Both EDF and CGN have reiterated their support for the scheme.
Jean-Bernard Levy, EDF Group chief executive said he remained confident the project would go ahead.
But a source close to CGN has told the BBC that everyone in the company was "bemused" by the sudden nature of the government's announcement and had been given no real insight into the reason for the delay other than being informed it was something the prime minister wanted.
It was also frustrated that the government had allowed speculation about national security concerns to continue.
Nick Timothy, who is a close adviser to Mrs May, has previously raised serious concerns about Chinese investment in areas that could threaten Britain's security.
Last year, the chancellor at the time, George Osborne, said investment in Hinkley Point could lead to the Chinese designing and constructing a new nuclear reactor at Bradwell in Essex.
At the time Mr Timothy wrote on the Conservativehome website that if that happened experts feared China could "build weaknesses into computer systems which will allow them to shut down Britain's energy production at will".
The BBC's industry correspondent, John Moylan said a senior delegation from China had flown in specially to attend the signing and they were now having to return home.

Prime Minister Theresa May is stamping her authority on government policy even it it means ruffling the feathers of foreign investors.
The government thinks this project has huge implications not just for energy policy but national security and foreign relations.
Therefore it remains unapologetic about giving it this level of scrutiny.
I have heard Mrs May will not be hurried into any decision. Remember, we have got a new government in Number 10. The business department is being completely restructured.
The last government under David Cameron and George Osborne might have taken a very particular attitude towards the Hinkley project.
Theresa May's government will not be a mirror image of the last government.
As for the timing of that now infamous announcement on Thursday, the PM's team believed it was not for them to say in advance of the EDF board meeting what their thinking was.
The company might have wanted the UK government to make its position clear first but Mrs May was not going to be bounced into that.
What does this look like to potential foreign investors and the question of whether Britain is still open for business?
I am being told we should not over interpret the review - there is a sense of reassurance rather than policy being ripped up to start all over again.
Hinkley Point C is expected to provide 7% of the UK's total electricity requirement.
Mace, which was appointed by EDF to oversee the contract management at the site and provide project and programme management services said: "We need to show that the UK is open for business.
"This decision to delay yet another project of national importance sends completely the wrong signal to investors and the world."
Labour's shadow energy secretary, Barry Gardiner, said there was a role for nuclear power as part of a low carbon future, but the government's handling of the situation had been "absolute chaos".
"At a day's notice they have cancelled the final signing of the agreement that they told the press and everyone they were going to do.
Critics of the plan have warned of environmental damage and potential escalating costs.
Britain has committed to pay a price more than twice the current market levels for the power generated by the plant over 35 years.
Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "Theresa May now has a chance to stop this radioactive white elephant in its tracks.
"She should look at the evidence and see that this deal would be a monumental disaster for taxpayers and bill payers.
"The UK needs to invest in safe, reliable renewable power."

The 14-year-old's body was found in the River Brent, west London, in September.
Chief suspect Arnis Zalkalns, who murdered his wife in Latvia, was later found hanged in nearby woodland.
A coroner will decide whether to assess the authorities' role or focus on the circumstances of Alice's death later.
The human rights organisation Liberty, which is representing Alice's family, has asked the coroner to consider whether the case is covered by Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights - the Right to Life.
A spokesman for Liberty said: "It appears the British authorities were not aware of [Zalkans'] conviction.
"In 2009, he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a teenage girl in London but charges were not brought and he was released.
"Alice's family wishes to know how it can be that - within EU member states - basic information-sharing cannot be arranged to ensure authorities are notified of the presence of people who pose a potentially high risk to the public."
Alice went missing in August last year and her body was discovered the following month in the Grand Union Canal in Ealing.
Zalkalns had been imprisoned in Latvia for murdering his wife but was released and travelled to the UK in 2007.
In January, police confirmed their belief that Zalkalns, who was working on a building site in Isleworth, was responsible for Alice's murder.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he would have been charged had he been alive.
Scotland Yard said no checks were made to see if Zalkalns had any overseas convictions because it was not the force's policy to do so.
However, detectives said even if the conviction had been known about it was "very unlikely" Zalkalns would have been deported.
Alice's family said: "Losing Alice has left a hole in our lives that can never be filled. But our questions about why the authorities knew nothing about her murderer, despite his previous conviction and arrest, can and should be answered. We hope the coroner will agree.
"We believe in freedom of movement and human rights, as did Alice, and we repeat our request that her death not be appropriated by those with an anti-immigration agenda."

The last classic VW Kombi, or VW T2, was produced in Brazil in 2013 after safety standards there became too onerous for further adaptation.
Its new microbus made its debut in January. VW says it was inundated with requests to "please build this car".
The new model will hit the road in 2022 but there are no plans as yet to produce a camper version.
VW said the electric van, known as the ID Buzz, will be aimed at customers in North America, Europe and China. There will also be a cargo version of the van.
The Kombi, or Bulli, as it was known in Germany, first went into production in 1950.
Although it was originally simply designed as a jack-of-all-trades van, it is most associated with hippies and camping.
VW itself did not offer them tricked out with cookers, ovens nor even seats that converted to beds.
That came about after engineering firm Westfalia-Werke was asked by a British Army officer in 1950 to turn a VW in to a home, creating the first so-called "Camping Box".
The company then became VW's designated subcontractor for converting the basic vans to campers.
The door of the new microbus opens with a wave of the hand and has electric motors at both ends, giving a large amount of interior space - ideal for bespoke conversion to touring camper vans.
Westfalia-Werke, now owned by Daimler-Chrysler and called Westfalia Mobile, is still converting camper vans, including VWs, but it is not known whether the two companies will resurrect their historic connection.
However, many VW Camper vans were, of course, not official productions themselves, but kitted out by van owners with the skills or money to make the necessary amendments, so a new generation of VW hippy vans cannot be ruled out.

Aubameyang, who missed a penalty in the first leg in Lisbon, then swept in Marcel Schmelzer's low cross two minutes later before an unmarked Marc Bartra hit the post from a corner.
The Gabon striker completed his treble with five minutes remaining as he turned in Erik Durm's sublime pass.
Dortmund have now lost only one of their last 12 European home matches under coach Thomas Tuchel as they reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2014.
Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel: "That was the perfect time for 'Auba' to get his hat-trick.
"It was a sensational performance. I love goals like his first one because they need such good timing and Auba is always there with his nose for goal.
"We had a great start, then we lost our way after 25 minutes, but the second half was a top performance.
"We didn't want to let the first-leg defeat annoy us, now we are in the last eight and we want to go further."

Medicines regulator NICE has recommended that Translarna can be used for some children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
However, it will only be given to those who can still walk.
Leo Le Gal, from Ivybridge, lost the use of his legs two years ago - shortly before he began testing the drug.
The uncertainty over his future follows an announcement by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence that Translarna - also known as ataluren - will only be made available to about 50 children in the UK under a "managed access agreement" between the manufacturer, PTC Therapeutics and NHS England.
Those aged five years and over and who can still walk will be given the drug for five years while further data is collected on its efficiency.
Leo, who was diagnosed with DMD five years ago, has been taking part in a three-year international clinical trial at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
For the first year of the trial - when he could still walk - Leo was taking a placebo and was only transferred to Translarna after he lost the use of his legs.
A placebo is an inactive substance with no medicinal benefits used in trials to determine the effectiveness of a medicinal drug.
Leo's mother, Ruth Le Gal, said while it was "fantastic news" that a drug which could help DMD children would be funded by the NHS, her son's future was uncertain.
"It's great for all those children that will be eligible but sadly Leo won't because, unfortunately he lost the ability to walk before he was able to start taking the medicine," she told BBC News.
Despite not been able to help Leo's legs, his mother said Translarna has stabilised his condition and has been very beneficial.
"He's done really, really well and the medication has maintained his core strength, so he's still got good use of his arms" she said.
Leo's clinical trial is due to finish in six weeks.
"We have no idea what will happen after that," she said, adding that her hope is the trial will be extended. | A 10-year-old boy with a rare muscle wasting disease may not get a new drug he has been trialling, even though its use has been approved. | 36063994 |
Hundreds of public squares, streets, libraries and schools across Egypt are named after the couple.
Mr Mubarak's 29 years in power ended with his resignation in February after weeks of mass anti-government protests.
The 82-year-old is currently under arrest at a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
He is due to be questioned about allegations of corruption and alleged violence against protesters during the popular uprising.
Egypt's state news agency Mena reported on Thursday that his health is "unstable".
Portraits of the former president have already been taken down at public institutions across the country.
Ordering the same to be done for the Mubarak name, Judge Mohammed Hassan Omar said: "It has become clear that the size of the corruption that's being uncovered every day exceeds by far anyone's imagination."
After the ruling, the transport minister said the Mubarak name would be removed from all ministry facilities, including a major underground station in central Cairo.
There are suggestions for streets to be renamed after the people who were killed in the recent anti-government protests, the BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo reports.
An Egyptian government fact-finding panel reported recently that at least 846 people were killed and 6,400 were injured during the 18 days of protests earlier this year.
The mission - consisting of a panel of judges - said security forces fired live ammunition, placed snipers on rooftops and used vehicles to run over protesters.
Mr Mubarak's two sons are among a growing number of ministers and officials from his ruling circle who are also facing investigation. | A court in Egypt has ruled that the names of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his wife Suzanne be removed from all public places. | 13162236 |
