Filmmakers from Spy in the Wild use robot animals to spy on real animals in the wild.
These robotic animals look like the real thing to convince the animals around them to carry on as normal.
The robots are also able to copy animal behaviours and are fitted with small cameras hidden in their eyes so they can film animals behaving naturally in the wild.
Ricky caught up with camera operator of the show to find out more.
The first episode of Spy in the Wild is at 8pm on BBC1 on 12 January.
Summary: | A new TV show has got closer to animals than ever before. |
Text: Bury's 3-0 win over Bristol Rovers means they have won four of six games since ex-Huddersfield and Birmingham boss Clark joined from Kilmarnock.
The 18th-placed Shakers are six points above the League One relegation places with six matches left this season.
Asked what Clark had changed, Leigh, 22, said: "I'd say the intensity of training and games."
He told BBC Radio Manchester: "As soon as a new manager comes in you want to impress, but I feel like his standards have pushed the squad and got players to their maximum potential, myself included.
"It's good that he has such high standards to push people because that is when you get performances."
Summary: | Manager Lee Clark has raised the standards at Bury since his arrival, says Shakers full-back Greg Leigh. |

Text: Vice-President John Dramani Mahama became interim head of state following the death of President John Atta Mills in July 2012.
Mr Mahama won his first full term in office in an extremely tight election a few months later in December, defeating Nana Akufo-Addo of the opposition New Patriotic Party with only 50.7% of the vote to Mr Addo's 47.7%.
The NPP said he had won fraudulently, but its legal challenge to the result was rejected by the supreme court in August 2013.
Several foreign observer teams, including those of the African Union and regional body Ecowas, declared the election free and fair.
His first year as elected president was overshadowed by poor economic news, with sharp rises in inflation and the government deficit.
Mr Mahama is a respected historian, writer and communications specialist. Regarded as a champion of the underprivileged, he has a keen interest in environmental issues, particularly the problem of plastic pollution in Africa. His book, entitled "My First Coup d'Etat" was published in July 2012.
He studied in Ghana and Moscow. Between 1991 and 1995 he worked as an information officer at the Japanese embassy in Accra.
He joined the non-governmental organization PLAN International in 1995.
He was elected as a member of parliament in 1996, and served communications minister between 1998 and 2001.
In opposition from 2005 to 2011, Mr Mahama served as parliamentary spokesman for foreign affairs.
Mr Mahama was born at Bole-Bamboi in the Northern Region in 1958. He is married and has seven children.
Summary: | President: John Dramani Mahama |
Text: Cafe Sekander-owner Jahed Ali, 39, of Wavertree, was found guilty of breaching ten fire safety regulations in his Allerton Road eatery.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the living quarters could only be accessed by crawling through a stair panel which was spotted during a fire inspection.
Ali pleaded guilty to all offences.
Judge Andrew Menary QC told Ali he had put his staff at "extraordinary risk" and had used "underhand methods to try and hide what you were doing".
The court heard fire officers first visited the restaurant in 2012 and found staff has been sleeping in rooms on the second floor.
The only escape route was down a narrow staircase and the fire risk was so great Ali was served with an immediate prohibition notice, the court heard.
He said he would block off access to the rooms.
On subsequent visits by fire officers he claimed the rooms were only used for prayers and resting, the court heard.
But on a visit to the restaurant in April of last year officers discovered a panel behind which was a space leading to the stairs and rooms Ali had been told to stop using.
Guy Keen from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: "We were shocked. Clearly he's understood the prohibition notice. He's understood the seriousness of it.
"But he's decided to conceal it (the rooms) from us."
As he was sentenced Ali, of Bonchurch Drive, collapsed in the dock and had to be helped by court officials.
Summary: | A cafe owner in Liverpool who created a "potentially lethal fire trap" of secret rooms where his staff slept has been jailed for eight months. |
Text: Wareham Surgery said its "revised system" comes after one GP went off on long-term sickness with a broken hip and another resigned in March.
It said a lack of response to a GP vacancy meant it could only offer on-the-day appointments, which can only be booked during certain hours.
Speaking in the Bournemouth Echo, one patient described it as a "crisis".
The surgery, which is currently using locum GP cover, has asked patients to call to book between 08:30 and 10:30 for a morning appointment, or between 14:00 and 16:00 for an afternoon appointment.
"Depending on demand" it said it may not be able to provide an appointment, which would mean patients calling back the following day.
Healthwatch Dorset said the situation was "simply unacceptable".
"We understand the difficulties they're facing at the Wareham practice, but that doesn't alter the fact that their new appointment system means that patients can't book an appointment with their GP in advance," it added.
An NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) spokesman said it was in talks with the surgery and it was hoped the situation would change at the end of the month.
He said the CCG had set up the Primary Care Workforce Centre with Bournemouth University and Health Education Wessex in April last year in a bid to find "innovative ways to address the recruitment challenge with not only our trainees and future workforce supply, but also our current workforce".
Summary: | A GP surgery in Dorset has stopped patients from booking advanced appointments due to a lack of doctors. |
Text: The charge relates to an incident in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Bury.
The FA alleges that the 48-year-old used "abusive and/or insulting and/or improper words and/or behaviour towards a match official" around the tunnel area at half-time.
The former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss has until 20 February to respond.
Swindon have won three, drawn four and lost 11 of their 18 games in all competitions since Sherwood's arrival on 10 November, leaving them 22nd in League One.
Summary: | Swindon Town director of football Tim Sherwood has been charged by the Football Association for allegedly abusing a match official. |
Text: He told the newly elected constituent assembly that he wanted "a personal conversation" when the two leaders attended the UN General Assembly in New York next month.
Mr Trump recently imposed sanctions on Mr Maduro, accusing him of undermining democracy.
The White House has not yet responded to the comments.
"If he's so interested in Venezuela, here I am," Mr Maduro told the assembly during a three-hour speech.
"Mr Donald Trump, here is my hand."
However, at other times Mr Maduro returned to more traditional anti-US themes, accusing "imperialists" of plotting against his government.
"We will never cede to foreign powers," he said.
Mr Maduro also said he would challenge the US sanctions in an American court.
The president received a succession of standing ovations from the constituent assembly, which is dominated by his supporters.
The opposition-controlled congress rejects the legitimacy of the new body.
It has also been condemned by international leaders and by the Pope, who urged Mr Maduro not to inaugurate it.
In his speech, Mr Maduro stated that the constituent assembly had authority over all branches of government, including the presidency.
He has said the assembly will promote peace by bringing different sectors of society together to rewrite the constitution.
His critics, however, see it as a way for the president to expand his power and sideline the opposition.
More than 120 people have been killed in violent anti-government protests since April.
Summary: | Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has said he wants a face-to-face meeting with US President Donald Trump. |
Text: A chimpanzee couple named Adam and Eve smashed windows to get out of their enclosure at the Sa Coma Safari Zoo on Monday.
Eve was surrounded as she neared the town of Son Carrio and shot dead.
Local media say that Adam is believed to be hiding in a wooded area close to residential housing.
Police have closed off a nearby road to try to prevent the 80kg (176lb) chimpanzee from reaching a nearby tourist area and beach front, according to reports.
How the animals managed to escape is not yet known.
"It is not very clear, but it seems they broke the bars of their cage," a spokesman for Spain's Guardia Civil told AFP news agency.
"These animals are very strong. They can lift double their weight."
Animal rights groups have criticised the shooting of Eve.
Police said the chimpanzee had been killed because she had become "very agitated" and there was a risk she might attack a member of the search party.
Summary: | Police in Spain are searching for a chimpanzee in Majorca, two days after it escaped from a zoo popular with tourists. |
Text: With almost all the votes counted, the 67-year-old polled 52% - enough to avoid a run-off.
His closest rival, leftist Antonio Sampaio da Novoa, won 22.89%.
The post of president is mainly ceremonial, but the head of state can dissolve parliament. A shaky left-wing coalition currently governs Portugal.
Mr Sousa vowed to be an independent president and said he wished to restore national unity while "our country is emerging from a deep economic and social crisis". "The people are the ones with the power," he told supporters.
Observers suspect the governing coalition may unravel within a year or so, so the new president may end up playing a more active role, the BBC's Alison Roberts reports from Lisbon.
Portugal opposition topples government
Portugal's left alliance flexes muscles
A record 10 candidates took part in Sunday's election.
Mr Sousa secured the required 50% of the vote to avoid a run-off on 14 February.
Known as "Professor Marcelo" to his supporters, he has been involved in politics since his youth, helping to establish the centre-right Social Democratic Party.
He has the support of right-wing parties, but says he will not be reliant on them. He has pledged to do everything he can to ensure the current government's stability.
He will take over in March from Anibal Cavaco Silva, a conservative who served two consecutive five-year terms.
A centre-right coalition won the most votes in October's election, but lost its overall majority in November, to be replaced by an alliance of left-wing parties which rejected its austerity programme in parliament.
Portugal was one of the countries hardest hit by the crisis in the eurozone, accepting an international bailout in exchange for sweeping cuts.
Summary: | A veteran centre-right politician and television pundit, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has won Portugal's presidential election. |
Text: The figures were part of a display on top of a post box in Rayleigh High Street, installed by members of Craft Club on 17 December.
Member Helen Thomas said whoever removed the two figures had unpicked them "very carefully".
The 20cm (8in) high Mary took "more than a week to make" and her theft has left her creator "very upset".
"Perhaps somebody saw them and thought they'd make nice toys," Mrs Thomas said of the characters, who were first noticed missing on 19 December.

Text: Each cast-iron sculpture was designed to complement its surroundings, with all five beside water, including the North Sea and English Channel.
The commission - entitled Land - was created to mark 50 years of UK building conservation charity Landmark Trust.
Gormley said the artworks were "catalysts for reflection".
The sculptures were designed to engage with the elemental conditions of the Kilbrannan Sound, Bristol Channel, North Sea and English Channel.
The fifth location is a quiet site in a Warwickshire village, where the sculpture stands looking into the depths of a man-made lock.
The five locations for the Land sculptures are:
The figures will remain in place until May 2016.
Sir Antony said: "I am excited about making sculpture that stands in the wind, the rain and snow, day and night.
"The sculptures will be like standing stones: Markers in space and time, linking with specific places and their histories."
Landmark Trust historian Caroline Stanford said: "For our 50th anniversary, we wanted to do something that everyone can enjoy, not only for those that stay in our buildings but the local communities in whose landscape the local buildings fit."
Summary: | Life-sized sculptures by Antony Gormley have been placed at five beauty spots around the UK that were specially selected by the artist. |
Text: Mr Vaz, 59, quit as Home Affairs Select Committee chairman in September after the paper claimed he paid for the services of two male escorts.
According to the newspaper, the MP indicated to one of the men that he would pay for cocaine, although he said he would not use the drug himself.
No-one has been charged, police said.
The Metropolitan Police Service's special enquiry team began an assessment process to see "what criminal offences - if any - may have been committed".
On Friday, a force spokesman said: "Following that assessment, which included obtaining early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, the MPS started an investigation in November.
"During the investigation new information was received and additional advice obtained from the CPS, following which the MPS has made the decision to close the investigation with no person being charged."
The Sunday Mirror story in September included photographs and secret recordings it said were of Mr Vaz with the sex workers in a north London flat that he owns.
Drugs, including cocaine, were mentioned during a secretly-recorded conversation.
The recording also included a discussion about using a party drug known as poppers.
Mr Vaz had opposed government attempts to criminalise the drug. Ministers later announced it would remain within the law.
Following the initial allegations, Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said he would be writing to Scotland Yard calling for Mr Vaz to be investigated for misconduct in a public office and conspiracy to supply controlled substances.
Scotland Yard launched an investigation last month after receiving a letter asking officers to look into the matter.
Mr Vaz, the Leicester East MP and a married father-of-two, resigned as chairman of the influential Home Affairs Select Committee two days after the Sunday Mirror's report.
He previously said in a statement: "I welcome a full investigation as a means of establishing the true facts and I am confident the police will pursue all lines of enquiry.
"I will cooperate with the investigation in any way I can."
He joined the Commons justice committee in October.
Summary: | Police have dropped an investigation into Labour MP Keith Vaz after allegations about his private life were made in a Sunday Mirror story. |
Text: Murray, 29, is due to play the 31-year-old Czech on Tuesday.
"He's a tough, tough opponent," said Murray. "He's a big strong guy, goes for his shots, takes a lot of risks.
"He's caused upsets in the Slams before. Everyone will probably remember him beating Rafa [Nadal] at Wimbledon a few years ago."
Murray, the second seed, repeated his stance that there is no ill feeling between him and Rosol after a dispute in Munich last year.
"First of all, he shoulder-barged me at the change of ends, which I wasn't happy with it and I let him know that the next point and that was it," Murray explained.
"We chatted after the match in the locker room and it was fine.
"I've always actually got on fine with him."
Having claimed a second successive Olympic gold medal at the Rio 2016 Games, Murray was straight back into competition at the Cincinnati Masters, losing to Marin Cilic in the final last weekend.
"I didn't get to see loads [of the Olympics] because I was obviously playing in Cincinnati but for me seeing Andrew Butchart run so well [sixth in the 1500m] was really nice," he said.
"He's someone that my family knows well. I've had Christmas dinners with him. He did great and that was nice for me to watch."
Summary: | Andy Murray says he will face an opponent not afraid to take risks when he plays Lukas Rosol in the first round of the US Open. |
Text: Earlier partial results put former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah ahead with 43.8% of votes cast, short of the 50% needed to avoid a run-off.
The BBC's David Loyn in Kabul says there are increasing claims of fraud.
Final official results are due to be announced on 14 May after a period for adjudication of complaints.
Incumbent President Hamid Karzai is barred from standing for a third term. Eight candidates are vying to succeed him.
If none gains more than 50%, a second round between the two frontrunners is scheduled for 28 May.
Saturday's announcement will come two days after full preliminary results were expected to have been declared.
Our correspondent says the continuing delay is increasing suspicion that the result is being manipulated.
There are allegations on all sides that ballot boxes were stuffed and that the count itself was rigged, he says.
When 80% of votes were counted, Mr Abdullah's main rival Ashraf Ghani - a former World Bank economist - was in second place with 32.9% of the vote.
A second-round vote could be avoided if a power-sharing deal is struck between the two leading candidates.
However, both men have vowed to fight on if a run-off is required.
"We have not talked or negotiated with anyone about forming a coalition government," Mr Abdullah told reporters after Thursday's results.
Millions of Afghans defied Taliban threats to take part in the election.
Turnout was double that of the previous presidential election in 2009, despite a number of attacks in the run-up and bad weather on polling day.
The next president will face several challenging issues, including the expected withdrawal of foreign combat troops from Afghanistan later this year and attacks by the Taliban.
Summary: | Preliminary results from Afghanistan's presidential election are due to be announced, three weeks after the vote was held. |
Text: Ferrari will conduct test 'shield' device the in the first free practice session at Silverstone on Friday.
The shield is what F1 bosses have prioritised over the controversial 'halo' system tested in 2016.
The halo ran into opposition because of its looks and some concerns about its effects on driver visibility.
The idea of extra cockpit head protection is to protect the driver from impacts with large flying debris such as wheels, or in other incidents when his head is vulnerable, such as if a car were to slide upside down along a barrier.
A full test of the 'shield' will be conducted at the Italian Grand Prix on 1-3 September but the FIA wants to make an initial assessment as soon as possible - hence the Silverstone test.
A statement said: "A transparent open canopy system constructed using polycarbonate, the shield is aimed at providing significant protection from debris, while ensuring unrestricted forward vision for the driver.
"A number of indoor and outdoor tests are currently being conducted and the federation's target is to carry out a first full track test at Monza in September.
"However, in an effort to get initial feedback from drivers at the earliest possible stage of development, a short test will be conducted at next weekend's British Grand Prix, in the first free practice session. The test will be conducted with Ferrari."
So far, the halo is the only device that has been proven to work - previous screen-type devices, including the 'aeroscreen' developed by Red Bull, have all failed the test of having to remain intact and protect the driver after a wheel is fired at them at 250km/h.
Summary: | The first prototype of the cockpit head protection system preferred by Formula 1 is to be tested at next weekend's British Grand Prix. |
Text: The Department for Work and Pensions says the aim is also to recoup more of the £1.2bn the government loses to benefit fraud every year.
A No 10 spokesman said getting the welfare budget under control is "key".
Credit references can already be checked by officials but are not often used and are dependent on tip-offs.
Prime Minister David Cameron believes calling in bailiffs to confiscate and sell expensive items, such as cars and computers, from cheats will be a strong deterrent to fraudsters.
Low-value possessions and essential items are unlikely to be taken.
"Getting the welfare budget under control is a key part of our long-term plan for the economy," said the spokesman.
"We want to end the something-for-nothing culture and deliver for people who want to work hard and play by the rules."
The government launched a scheme this year to encourage benefit claimants to disclose changes in their circumstances to help prevent overpayment, which costs £1.6bn a year.
Summary: | Benefit cheats will be subject to credit checks to see if they have any high-value assets, in a bid to clamp down on fraud, ministers have said. |

Harper spent much of his Newcastle career as back-up for Shay Given although he played in Newcastle's FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United in 1999 and has Champions League experience.
His final game for Newcastle was a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Arsenal in May.
Summary: | Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper has signed for Hull City on a one-year-deal. |
Text: Patchell, 22, will leave the Blues at the end of the current season after rejecting a new contract.
He will join Wales centre Jonathan Davies at Scarlets next term after Davies' switch from Clermont Auvergne.
"Rhys is an exciting young player who will bring a new dimension to our game next season," head coach Wayne Pivac said.
"He's been playing particularly well for the Blues in recent weeks. He will be joining what is shaping up to be a very exciting backline."
Patchell made his regional debut for the Blues in September 2012 and his international debut for Wales in the summer tour to Japan in 2013.
"I'd like to thank Cardiff Blues for giving me an opportunity and supporting my development over the last few seasons," he added.
"As a Cardiff boy it has been a really difficult decision to have to make, and one that I have deliberated over for quite some time.
"I will continue to give my all to the Blues as we look to build on recent victories in both the Pro12 and Challenge Cup. I will leave the region with fond memories and having made lifelong friends."
Summary: | Cardiff Blues fly-half Rhys Patchell will join Welsh rivals Scarlets on a two-year deal from next summer. |

The house was destroyed and six other properties were damaged by the blaze.
A pigeon coop in a garden of one of the houses was destroyed, killing all but a few of the birds homed inside.
Police and the fire service are investigating what caused the "severe" fire.
Alwyn Crawford, 48, who owned the pigeons, said his son Reece had saved his life after discovering the fire.
He said: "We don't know who done it or what happened, the place was ablaze when we came out.

It was destroyed again in Tuesday's blaze, along with his mobility scooter.
"There's nothing left, I've lost everything," he said.
"But I think we're the lucky ones because those [other] bungalows are unliveable."

Text: McCarthy, 26, missed Everton's win over West Brom on Saturday after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
Toffees boss Ronald Koeman said after the game that the midfielder is "one or two weeks" away from fitness.
Koeman and Republic boss Martin O'Neill became involved in a row about McCarthy's fitness in November and the player missed the 1-0 win in Austria.
McCarthy's hamstring issues have restricted him to only seven Premier League starts this term and Koeman is keen to get to the bottom of it.
"He played 30-35 minutes last week and then we need to put him in the recovery group after the game," said the Everton boss.
"It's not a big hamstring injury. He will be out for one or two weeks.
"It's another step back for the boy and that's really disappointing. We need to find a solution."
O'Neill will announce the Republic's squad for the Wales game on Monday and the expectation is that the Everton midfielder will be an inclusion.
Asked if he expected O'Neill to select McCarthy, Koeman replied: "I don't know. We know it will be another nine, 10 days [before the game] and the Fifa rule is that they have the possibility to call the player.
"If they call the player the player will go and they will see how his fitness is at that time."
The Republic lead Group D on 10 points after four rounds of fixtures, which leaves them two points ahead of Serbia with Wales a further two points off the pace in third.
Summary: | Everton's James McCarthy is a doubt for the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Wales on 24 March. |

Text: Check out Newsround's quick guide to Britain's heavyweight boxing champion.
Anthony Joshua was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, and is one of Britain's best professional boxers.
The 27-year-old's mother is from Nigeria, Africa, and his father is from Britain.
Joshua was sports-mad from a very young age.
He was brilliant at football and athletics and broke the Year Nine 100m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
Anthony decided to get really serious with boxing at the age of 18 and joined a local club.
Anthony became very good at the sport of boxing very quickly, and had won all 18 fights at amateur level during his early 20s.
He soon set a goal to become an Olympic champion.
In 2012, Joshua won the gold medal in the super heavyweight category at the London Olympics.
He became a professional boxer in July 2013, which means he started earning money for taking part in matches.
Joshua used some of that money to buy his very first boxing club, Finchley ABC, some new equipment.
He said: "This is where I started so I also donated some of my memorabilia in the hope that, when the children see it, it will inspire them to dream big."
Well boxing is pretty complicated, there isn't just one heavyweight championship - there's four major belts up for grabs offered by different organisations.
He won his first belt, the IBF heavyweight championship in April 2016.
On 29 April 2017, Joshua won a boxing match against Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko to add the WBA title to his collection.
The victory means that Joshua now holds two of the four major world championships on offer in the heavyweight division.

Text: It says McIntyre's remarks breached the organisation's code of conduct.
Tweeting on the centenary of the Gallipoli landings in Turkey during World War One, McIntyre wrote that Australia's and New Zealand's soldiers had carried out "summary execution, widespread rape and theft".
Some reporters criticised SBS's move.
They suggested that firing McIntyre was against the principle of free speech.

He wrote: "Remembering the summary execution, widespread rape and theft committed by these 'brave' Anzacs in Egypt, Palestine and Japan.
"The cultification of an imperialist invasion of a foreign nation that Australia had no quarrel with is against all ideals of modern society."
Australian Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull described the posts as "despicable".
"Difficult to think of more offensive or inappropriate comments," he wrote.
McIntyre has so far made no public comments on his sacking.

Text: The allowance - introduced in April 2015 to incentivise marriage - is worth £220 in 2016/17.
However those eligible can also back-date a claim for last year, meaning £432 can be claimed in total.
Out of 4.2m couples who could claim that amount, only 1m have done so, despite an HMRC advertising campaign.
Marriage tax allowance lets one half of a married couple transfer part of their tax-free allowance to their partner.
However one of the partners must not be earning more than £11,000 - the personal allowance - while the other must be paying income tax at the basic rate.
A spokesman for HMRC said it takes less than five minutes to apply online.
"We don't know the reason why so few couples have taken up this allowance, but the fact is, it's a fairly quick and simple process and could save couples up to £430 - which can go a long way especially around this time of year," said Sam McFaul, a personal finance writer at MoneySavingExpert.com.
Anyone wanting to claim can go to this page.
Summary: | Less than a quarter of couples eligible for marriage tax allowance are bothering to claim it, according to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). |

Text: Mr Phillips said the decision was to focus on building Swansea's regional and national profile although details of his new role are not yet known.
It comes a week after he was told to expect a leadership challenge after sacking two cabinet members in a reshuffle but he would not comment on whether his departure was linked.
Mr Phillips led the council's Labour group for 10 years.
The Labour group has been in power at the authority for the last two years.
The selection process to find a new leader begins on Monday.
He said from the back benches he will continue to give his "complete support to the new cabinet and the group as we work to continue to deliver on our manifesto commitments for the good of the people of Swansea and the wider region".
Labour group chairman Robert Francis Davies said: "David Phillips has made an enormous contribution to Swansea and to Labour and will continue to do so in the future. We want to keep his talents working for our city."

Text: In a letter addressed to the finance committee, Nama chairman Frank Daly accused it of making "unsubstantiated and unfounded" claims.
Nama is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank".
The finance committee is investigating the £1.2bn sale of Nama's Northern Ireland assets to US firm Cerberus.
A committee report published this week said that Nama's refusal to answer questions at an oral hearing was unhelpful given Project Eagle's importance to the Northern Ireland economy.
Mr Daly said no effort was made to contact his agency ahead of the publication of its report earlier this week.

Text: The bodies of a German and a Nepalese guide have been recovered from the slopes of Mount Manaslu, police say.
A further seven bodies have been sighted by rescue pilots. Spanish foreign ministry officials say one of the dead is a Spanish national.
The avalanche struck a base camp near the summit on Saturday, police said.
It is thought at least three other climbers are missing in the avalanche, but officials are trying to determine exactly how many people were in the climbing party.
At least five climbers were said by police officials to have survived and been rescued and flown to hospitals by rescue helicopters.
Four of the dead and three of the missing were French, the vice-president of the French mountain guides' union Christian Trommsdorff told the AFP news agency.
Two of those rescued were also French nationals, according to Mr Trommsdorff.
Deteriorating weather conditions meant it was impossible to continue air searches of the mountain on Sunday, police official Basanta Bahadur Kuwar told the Associated Press.

The climbers were caught at 7,000m (22,960ft) as they were preparing to head toward the summit, which is 8,156m high.
"The avalanche hit camp three of the Manaslu peak... resulting in a flood of snow," said Laxmi Dhakal, head of the Nepalese home ministry's disaster response division.
Hundreds of foreign climbers head every year for the Himalayas in Nepal, which has eight of the world's 14 highest mountains, including Mount Everest.
Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world, is considered one of the most dangerous, with dozens of deaths in recent years.
The autumn climbing season began this month.

Text: Strong was named best actor at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for playing tragic hero Eddie Carbone in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge.
The play, originally staged at London's Young Vic, also gained a best director award for Ivo Van Hove.
Helen McCrory won best actress for her title role in Greek tragedy Medea at the National Theatre.
Strong- whose film roles include Zero Dark Thirty and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - said he had chanced upon Miller's classic drama when looking through film scripts at home.
"I picked it up and it was head and shoulders above everything else I was reading. I thought maybe this is the time to go back and do a play. Nothing had really come along that I wanted to do until this."
Strong is now starting rehearsals ahead of the play's transfer from the Young Vic to Wyndham's Theatre in the heart of London's theatre district.
"I love the fact that we are taking this little play from the Young Vic and going up against the big boys in the West End," he said.
Other winners at the Critics' Circle awards included Sir Anthony Sher, who received best Shakespearean performance for his role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of the epic Henry IV Parts I & II.
"Falstaff is one of Shakespeare's most astonishing creations," Sir Anthony said. "I had no plans to play it - it came completely left-field. I really needed a lot of convincing."
King Charles III by Mike Bartlett, which imagines a future monarchy and is written in Shakespeare-style blank verse, was crowned best new play.
Gypsy, which starred Imelda Staunton at Chichester Festival Theatre and is transferring to London's Savoy Theatre in 2015, won the award for best musical.
The Critics' Circle Theatre Awards were held at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, on Tuesday.
Summary: | Actor Mark Strong has been honoured for his role in a play that lured him back to the theatre after 12 years in film. |
Text: In a meeting on Thursday, cabinet members voted unanimously to look at joining with councils from Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country.
It will also consider the feasibility of a referendum on the idea, in response to a 3,000-signature petition.
Conservative group leader John Blundell said he wanted "there definitely to be" a referendum on the possible move.
"I think the decision is too important to be left to local councillors alone.
"All of the citizens of Coventry should be engaged in the referendum," Mr Blundell said.
The £250,000 would "facilitate engagement" with residents, local businesses, universities and other key partners, a council statement said.
The authority's recommendations said this engagement would include "whether or not" a referendum was feasible.
Rachel Bermingham, who organised the petition demanding a referendum, said: "I'm absolutely stunned and delighted that they are looking at a referendum.
"It really means that the people of Coventry who've spoken so far have been quite persuasive in their arguments."
Coventry City Council said it would like to see councils in Warwickshire and Hinckley and Bosworth become a part of any future combined authority.
In 2011, Manchester City Council teamed up with nine neighbouring councils to form the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
The GMCA was the country's first statutory "super-council" with power to co-ordinate the region's regeneration, economy and transport priorities.
In the Queen's Speech on Wednesday, the government announced plans for a Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill, giving regions greater powers over housing, transport, planning and policing.

Text: David Gill has formally indicated he will apply for fresh permission to run South Lakes Safari Zoo in Dalton in Furness, Cumbria, where a keeper was killed by a tiger in 2013.
His current licence expires in January.
In July, inspectors recommended the zoo's licence should not be reissued until new management was in place.
They said Mr Gill, 55, had refused to "implement modern zoo practices" resulting in significant concerns over the safety of staff, the visiting public and the animals.
At the time the zoo's chief executive officer, Karen Brewer, said great strides had been made to improve the zoo.
The law allows the licence holder six months to start again with an entirely fresh application, but notice of the intention must be given at least two months before the end of this time.
Mr Gill has now submitted a 200-page document on the deadline for doing so.
The inspectors had previously said Mr Gill should have no role in managing and running the zoo he created more than 20 years ago.
He has been working with two consultants on proposals for the zoo's management in the future.
The zoo was fined £297,500 for health and safety breaches when keeper Sarah McClay, 24, was mauled to death by a tiger.
Mr Gill 55, had faced individual charges on the same allegations, but was formally acquitted.
The zoo's collection has grown from 290 animals to more than 1,000 across 50 acres, attracting more than 250,000 visitors and generating £3m a year.
Barrow councillors will make a decision on any new application after a further inspection of the zoo.
Summary: | The owner of a zoo refused a licence extension because of concerns over safety and animal welfare is to apply instead, for a new licence. |

He has scored 2,867 first-class runs in his career, at an average of 33.72, but is averaging around half that in 2017.
"Hopefully I'm just one score away and it should all fall into place again," Fell told Worcestershire's website.
"It is a good time to be at the club. I think the future definitely looks good and it's nice to know I'm going to be a part of that future and hopefully keep taking the club forward."

Text: Wallace, 27, the world number 242, shot a final round 69 at the Morgado Golf Resort to finish three shots clear of American Julian Suri.
He finished on 21-under-par and becomes only the second player on the tour this season to win from start to finish.
It was Wallace's fifth start on the European Tour having made the step up from the Alps Tour last year.
"It's the best feeling ever," he said after lifting the trophy. "It's always been a dream to win on the European Tour.
"Those first two days were really easy, that third day was the hardest day of my life and today was tough but it's so satisfying and I'm really happy."
Wallace shot 17 birdies on the first 36 holes and a level-par round on day three left him with a three-shot lead over German Sebastian Heisele going into the final day.
Wallace held off a surge from Suri on Sunday and becomes just the second winner since 2013 to card three bogey-free rounds on his way to victory.

Text: Cremorne, who is three times the size of a buzzard, went missing on Saturday but a "disaster" happened on Monday when her radio transmitter failed.
The International Centre for Birds of Prey (ICBP) said she was not a threat to people, pets or livestock.
Founder Jemima Parry-Jones said it was "very worrying" because Cremorne did not know how to look after herself.
"She's a temperamental bird and occasionally she goes Awol," said Ms Parry-Jones.
"It's quite serious because this bird has never hunted... and at some point she is going to get emaciated.
"Then we really need to know where she is so we can get her back, give her fluids and get her back up to where she should be."
Cremorne was last spotted near Malswick - some three miles (4.9km) away from home - shortly after 12:00 BST on Monday.
She has a bright white head and tail and a seven-foot (2.1m) wingspan.

Text: Planning permission was granted for 196,000 panels at the old RAF base in Faldingworth near Lincoln.
The solar farm, believed to be the largest in the UK, is expected to generate 50MW of electricity, enough to power the equivalent of 12,000 homes.
Last year, a similar sized farm in Leicestershire was switched on, which it was claimed was the UK's biggest.
The 370 acre (150 hectare) site was granted permission for 20,000 panels in 2011 but this week that was updated to create the larger farm which is expected to run for 30 years.
Chris Collett, the senior planner at Barton Willmore, the firm responsible for the planning application, said: "This under-utilised former airfield was an ideal site for solar energy because of the topography and limited visual impact.
"By providing clean energy to more than 10,000 homes it will make a significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions in Lincolnshire."
RAF Faldingworth was used during World War Two by Number 300 (Polish) Squadron, the first Polish-manned bomber squadron in the RAF.
It was then used to store nuclear weapons before it was decommissioned in 1972.
The application received one letter of opposition.

Text: The team was at Strumble conducting a porpoise survey on Friday when it witnessed the attack.
Sea Trust director Cliff Benson said: "The most likely candidate would be a mako shark."
A mako shark - a cousin of the great white - was caught in 2013 by a crew fishing near Milford Haven.
A mako-type mackerel shark was also recovered on Barmouth Beach, north west Wales, in December 2014.
Mr Benson said: "Several porpoises were in the rough water of the tide race quite a way out when suddenly we noticed a lot of white water as something biggish appeared to be thrashing about on the surface.
"It was too far to tell what the something was but it looked quite violent.
"I moved over to our telescope but the main action seemed to have stopped, although what looked like the head and shoulders of an adult porpoise were moving as if held up by something beneath, pushing it along.
"It appeared and disappeared a couple of times and I just made out a red stain in the surf just before it finally went down below the surface.
"It is difficult to be absolutely certain, but I think what we witnessed was a porpoise being attacked and held in its jaws by some other animal until it was dead or sufficiently subdued to be swallowed beneath the surface."
He said sharks were not uncommon in Welsh waters.
"A 10ft long mako shark was washed up on a beach in Barmouth, north Wales recently in which the remains of a porpoise were found," Mr Benson said.
"They have also been caught alive in Pembrokeshire waters by shark anglers, along with big blue and porbeagle sharks.
"In the end it has to be recognised that sharks are a natural part of the food chain here off the coast of Wales. Sea Trust believes they should be celebrated along with all our amazing sea life."

Text: Briton Timothy Spall was named best actor for his portrayal of the British artist JMW Turner in Mr Turner.
Winter Sleep, a domestic drama telling the story of a family running a hotel in the snowy Turkish mountains, beat 17 other contenders to the top prize.
Ceylan dedicated the award to "the young people in Turkey and those who lost their lives in the last year".
A coal mine explosion in Soma in Turkey recently killed 301 workers.
Mr Turner, directed by Mike Leigh, had been tipped for an award after being lauded by the critics at Cannes.
Spall has said he was ideally cast to play the artist because "he was a funny-looking, fat little man and so am I".
"I've spent a lot of time being a bridesmaid", he said, reading his speech from his mobile phone.
"This is the first time I've ever been a bride".
The best actress award went to Julianne Moore in David Cronenberg's Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars.
Leviathan, a Russian film about corruption, was named best screenplay, while Bennett Miller won the award for best director for his wrestling drama Foxcatcher.
Ceylan, who noted that his award came on the 100th anniversary of Turkish cinema, had previously won awards at Cannes for his films Uzak, Climates, Three Monkeys and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia.
Winter Sleep, which runs for more than three hours, stars Haluk Bilginer - who once appeared in BBC One soap Eastenders - as a wealthy retired actor living with his younger wife and his recently-divorced sister.
Director Jane Campion, who led the jury, said the film was "masterful" and "ruthless".
The jury prize was shared by the oldest and youngest directors at the Cannes festival: Mommy, by 25-year-old Xavier Dolan, and 83-year-old Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language.

Text: Sheridan Parsons from Royal Wootton Bassett, built up her hoard of 172 Teasmades over 15 years.
She said: "I got another one and another one and it grew and the whole thing got a bit out of hand really."
The collection of bedside automatic tea-makers is due to be auctioned on eBay, with a third of the money raised donated to Royal Voluntary Service.
Ms Sheridan said she bought her first Teasmade in 2000 and "very quickly" became interested in their history and "how many models there were".
"At that point I thought there might have been about 20 or 30 models," she said.
"Then I was - I think - the only collector in the world."
Since then, she has amassed what she believes is the "biggest Teasmade collection in the world".
But with plans to downsize from a 10 bedroom house to a two-and-a-half bedroom property, the "entire room" of bedroom gadgets has to go but she will retain a few.
"172 is a bit too many really so I'm going to take away six of my favourites," she said.
"The Absolon which is from 1932 is a very unusual one - mine as far as I know is the only one.
"And the other one I've got, which is very old, is the 1936 Goblin - which is a first production model that was found under a house in Australia."
Due to be listed this week, Ms Parsons said it was "really hard to say" how much they will sell for as there were "so few collectors out there".
"A lot of them still work, but the working of them isn't the most important thing for me," she said.
"But I'm hoping they will raise lots of money."

Text: Laser projectors have been installed in all screens at the new Westquay leisure hub in Southampton.
The complex, containing a cinema, bowling alley and restaurants, was partially opened in December - nearly two years after construction started.
Europe's first all-laser cinema was opened at Breda in the Netherlands in August.
Business analysts IHS said lasers were becoming a "dominant technology" in cinemas around the world.
IHS cinema research director David Hancock said: "More expensive Red Green Blue (RGB) lasers have very high light output, make 3D much brighter... although laser phosphor machines for smaller screens are pretty close to a digital cinema projector."
He said the Southampton theatre was believed to be the first all-laser multiplex in the UK and only the fourth in Europe.
Film buff Adrian Cox, who tours cinemas around the country, said laser projection was an "expensive acquisition" and the investment was "very exciting".
He said the "Dolby Atmos sound in all screens will be a winner", while a new Odeon cinema opening on the same day in Bournemouth would be an "interesting comparison", with Dolby Atmos in one screen out of 10.
He said although laser projectors were already fitted in a handful of screens in the UK, Southampton would be the first all-laser theatre.
Developer Hammerson said the cinema was expected to have about 1.1 million admissions per year and it was hoped the hub would attract more than 200,000 customers to the food outlets and bars.
Summary: | What is thought to be the UK's "first all-laser cinema" is opening to the public, completing an £85m complex. |
Text: The demonstrators said their land was being taken away to make room for the planned $50bn (£31bn) project.
The waterway will be 278km (172 miles) long and will be deeper and wider than the Panama Canal.
Work is due to start this month and be completed in five years.
The protesters waved flags and chanted anti-government slogans. Most had come from villages along the planned canal route.
Government officials said in November that the canal would have a minimal impact on the environment and that it would create 50,000 jobs in one of Central America's poorest countries.
But protests along the canal route have increased in recent weeks with thousands of people concerned that their property would be appropriated without proper compensation.
The project is expected to include two ports, an airport, a resort and an economic zone for electricity and other companies.
There have been questions raised about the finances underpinning the project and allegations that Wang Jing, the Chinese businessman behind the plan, lacks experience in developing and financing big infrastructure projects.

Text: The area on the outskirts of the capital, Buenos Aires, is being fought over by two rival armed gangs.
Dozens of people are killed here every month. Gunshots have become part of everyday life, and children grow up hearing them.
But at a local church, children between six and 11 years of age are encouraged "to shoot ball not guns" as part of a social project.
Photojournalist Sebastian Gil Miranda documented the project at the Chapel Our Lady of Lujan.
His series of photographs won him first prize in the campaign category at the Sony World Photography Organisation this year.
Most of children who play football in the chapel's courtyard have siblings, parents or other close relatives or friends who are gang members, often on opposite sides.
And if nothing changes, they may well become the next generation to join the ranks of the gangs and face each other in future gang wars.
The project tries to offer them an alternative to allow them to escape a bleak future.

Text: The death of Jia Jia, whose age in human terms was more than 100 years, was announced by the Hong Kong theme park where she lived.
Her condition had worsened rapidly in recent weeks and she had lost her appetite, the park said.
She was put down by vets at Ocean Park, her home since 1999.
"She was a member of our family and she will be deeply missed... she has served as an important animal ambassador for her species," the park said in a statement.
The park said that in the last two weeks, Jia Jia's daily food intake had dropped from over 10kg to less than 3kg per day, and she had lost weight.
"Over the past few days, she has been spending less time awake and showing no interest in food or fluids.
"Her condition became worse this morning. Jia Jia was not able to walk about without difficulties and spent the day laying down."
Vets took the decision to put the giant panda down to prevent suffering, the park said.
In a statement obtained by BBC Chinese, a Hong Kong government spokesman thanked the park for providing Jia Jia with care and support and added that it was "saddened" by the news.
The park in Hong Kong held a high-profile celebration for Jia Jia's 37th birthday at her enclosure in July 2015.
Born in 1978 in the wild in Sichuan, China, Jia Jia was given to Hong Kong in 1999 to mark the semi-autonomous city's handover by Britain two years earlier.
Pandas normally live to around 20 years of age in the wild, and 25 in captivity.

Text: The Law Commission's proposals come after it was asked by the Cabinet Office to examine how effective the acts are in the 21st century.
Proposals include replacing three of the acts, from 1911, 1920 and 1939, with a single Espionage Act.
It is the first time in 100 years the acts have been fully reviewed.
The acts aim to protect government information from unauthorised disclosure of classified information, which is protected because it could harm national security or damage international relations.
The Official Secrets Act 1911 is still the main source of legal protection in the UK against espionage, more than a century after it was first drawn up.
The review found it should now be expanded to include offences committed by people other than British subjects.
The Law Commission - an independent body set up to reform the law - also proposed an increase in maximum sentences.
Currently, most offenders prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act 1989 receive a maximum of two years' imprisonment.
The consultation points out that it is the same penalty for information disclosed which damages national security as for a data breach by a National Lottery worker.
It also argues that in the "digital age", the "ability to cause damage to the national interest" and the risk of doing so has increased.

Text: The talks, being chaired by a senior English barrister, began on Wednesday, but failed to reach agreement.
Barristers and solicitors have said the new fees will seriously undermine their ability to provide proper legal representation for people who need it, but cannot afford to pay for it.
Since May of last year, many lawyers have been refusing to work on criminal cases involving legal aid.
The row has resulted in delays in more than 900 court cases, including charges ranging from murder to drink driving.
In November, the Bar Council of Northern Ireland and the Law Society lost an unprecedented legal bid to have new rules introduced by Justice Minister David Ford declared unlawful.
But a judge said the rules did not provide fair pay to defence solicitors in some criminal cases.
A week later, one of Northern Ireland's most senior judges entered the fray and appealed for an end to the row.
Lord Justice Weir said the dispute meant defendants charged with what are often serious offences are unable to access the expert legal advice that they require.
Last month, the Bar Council, Law Society and Department of Justice announced that they would enter mediation in a bid to end the dispute.
A planned appeal against the failed attempt to have new rules for legal aid fees quashed was adjourned.
All of those involved have signed a confidentiality agreement, which means they cannot make any comment about the discussions.
If the talks fail to secure agreement, the issue has been listed for a three day hearing at the Court of Appeal next week.

Text: The broadcaster, who recently turned 90, lived on the campus of the former University College Leicester with his family, in the 1940s.
The letters by his father, the college's principal, speak of his son's ambitions and show how he withheld consent for him joining the Home Guard.
The University of Leicester have shared the documents for the first time.
Dr Simon Dixon from the university's special collections department said: "We don't know very much about David and [his brother] Richard back then as no-one knew what they would go on to do.
"But what's nice about these letters is they tell you about David's ambitions and interest in geology and the way his father supported his career, trying to find opportunities for him."
In one letter sent to Professor Henry Swinnerton of University College, Nottingham, in 1944, Frederick Attenborough speaks of Sir David's love of botany and zoology.
Another of Frederick Attenborough's letters reveals how he withheld consent for his son to to enrol in the AA Battery of the Home Guard during World War Two.
He said: "He is to take the Higher Schools Certificate Examination shortly and his future plans are uncertain."
Sir David and his brother, the director and actor Richard Attenborough, used the campus as their playground and stories abound about what they go up to.
Dr Dixon said Richard once locked his younger brother in a padded cell of a former Victorian asylum which was on the campus, and there is also a story about Sir David selling newts to the zoology department for three pence each.

He denies attempted kidnap, assault, and committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.
The 42-year-old also pleaded not guilty at Hull Crown Court to three counts of voyeurism, which relate to another complainant.

Mr Ohaegbu, of Chestnut Avenue, who worked at Castle Hill Hospital, is accused of twice filming the second complainant naked, and once under a table at a restaurant, without her consent between July and August 2016.
The court was told, that on 26 September, the teenager was walking along Peel Street after midnight when Mr Ohaegbu tried to kidnap her.
On the opening day of the trial, prosecutor Charlotte Baines said: "These, say the prosecution were the tools, you may conclude, that the defendant had in his vehicle with his intention of committing a sexual offence that night.
"It is the prosecution's case that the defendant has committed a number of offences against both of these females.
"All of them were planned by the defendant, albeit concerning completely separate complainants, and are separated by time, but they have common features, and were offences carried out against their consent, and were motivated by the defendant's sexual gratification."
The jury heard, that when questioned by police officers following his arrest, Mr Ohaegbu said the condoms were from a health centre and the Vaseline was for dry skin because he showered a lot.
The trial continues.

Text: Welbeck suffered a knee injury during the 4-0 win over Lithuania in the Euro 2016 qualifier on Friday.
Coach Roy Hodgson said Welbeck will join Raheem Sterling (toe), who also scored on Friday, Manchester City's James Milner (knee) and Everton's Leighton Baines.
Southampton's Ryan Bertrand has been called up as a replacement.
"We knew we were going to be losing Raheem Sterling who had an injection last night on an on-going injury and hopefully that will help him as we go forward.
"We have a problem with James Milner who had to leave, we decided to let Leighton Baines go home and of course we lost Danny Welbeck who unfortunately picked up a slight knee injury against Lithuania.
"So those four players won't be with us going forward but it means a chance for the other guys in the squad to show what they can do.
"We are going to bring Ryan Bertrand in because with Leighton Baines gone we are now left with only one recognised left-back which is Kieran Gibbs. We wanted two recognised left-backs for both games."

Text: Jon Platt was convicted of failing to secure his child's regular attendance.
He lost an earlier legal challenge at the Supreme Court in April, despite winning previous legal battles in a case brought by Isle of Wight Council.
Platt was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £2,000.
The case - over a £120 fine - returned to Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court earlier where Paul Greatorex QC, for Platt, had argued the prosecution should not continue and was an "abuse of process".
He suggested none of the documents published by the council or the primary school on attendance made it clear when a penalty notice would be given.
"It's completely vague, it does not give the guidance that parents are entitled to expect," he said.
Mr Platt told the court he did not believe he had seen a number of documents from the school setting out changes to absence rules.
He said a form from the school, when he applied for the seven-day absence in 2015, had noted that attendance of between 90% and 95% was satisfactory, which his child fell into.

But Ben Rich, counsel for Isle of Wight Council, said giving clear guidance did not mean spelling out every consequence of any action.
He argued the school was not required to make sure that every letter sent home was read, and that the council's code of conduct had made it clear that a penalty notice could be issued for a term-time holiday.
Giving the judgment, magistrate Jeannie Walker said: "The circumstances of this case fall squarely into that breach of school rules."
The case has cost taxpayers £140,000.

Text: CalMac said it expected all its routes to run on Saturday, although there have been some changes to timetables.
The strike by RMT union members followed a two-day work to rule.
The dispute centres on concerns that Clyde and Hebrides ferry routes could be taken over by private firm Serco.
CalMac managed to operate about nine of its 27 routes on Saturday despite the strike by RMT members, who make up half of the company's workforce.
Further talks aimed at ending the dispute, which was triggered by the Scottish government's tendering process for the contract to run the Clyde and Hebrides ferry network, are due to be held in London next week.
CalMac is facing a challenge from Serco to renew the contract.
Serco already runs the Northlink ferries to Orkney and Shetland and the Caledonian Sleeper overnight rail service from Scotland to London.
Scottish ministers have said they are forbidden by EU competition regulations from favouring one bid over another, and that breaking the law would open them up to an expensive legal challenge and potential fines.
But union leaders have said that if Serco won the contract it would mean the privatisation of Clyde and Hebrides ferry services.
The RMT has asked that the government guarantees in the new contract that compulsory redundancies do not happen and existing terms and conditions are continued regardless of who wins the contract.
The Scottish government has called on both sides to show "common sense" by finding a solution to the dispute in order to prevent further disruption to island communities.

The boys, who are both 16-years-old, admitted arson, being reckless as to whether life was endangered, when they appeared in court.
But, they denied arson with intent to endanger life.
The Crown Prosecution Service has been given time to consider whether to accept their pleas.
CCTV footage from 2 December showed a figure huddled in a sleeping bag in a corner of the covered market and a group of people approaching him.
A lit piece of cardboard was put on the sleeping bag and was seen burning for a few seconds before a girl ran over, pulled it away, and stamped it out.
Some of the group returned shortly after and placed the piece of cardboard on a wheelchair which was parked next to the sleeping man, who was later identified as 71-year-old Robert Newton.
Judge Cottle adjourned the case and remanded the two boys in custody to a secure unit in Bristol.

Text: Andrea Giesbrecht had been charged with six counts of concealing the body of a child. Each charge carries a sentence of up to two years in jail.
Manitoba provincial court Judge Murray Thompson read out his decision on Monday after a months-long trial.
The remains of the infants were found in the locker in October 2014.
Judge Thompson said the evidence presented at trial left "no doubt" that Ms Giesbrecht concealed her pregnancies and the resulting delivery of the six infants.
Employees cleaning out the storage locker in a U-Haul facility called the authorities after making their gruesome discovery.
The remains of six full or near full-term foetuses were found in various stages of decomposition. Ms Giesbrecht was arrested soon after the discovery of the remains.
Due to the decomposition, there was no determination as to cause of death or whether any of the infants had been born alive.
Still, Judge Thompson said in his decision, which was livestreamed from the courtroom, that "the medical evidence, both statistically and with respect to each child, is that they were likely born alive".
According to her medical records, Ms Giesbrecht did not see a doctor during any of the six pregnancies. Children's toys, children and infants' clothing and blankets were found alongside the remains in the locker.
"There is no evidence of complication in these pregnancies," the judge said. "All of her actions lead to one conclusion - that Giesbrecht was aware that these children were likely to have been born alive and she wished to conceal the fact of their birth."
The date of Ms Giesbrecht's sentencing has not yet been set.

Text: The girl has been named locally as seven-month-old Chloe Fogarty.
She was airlifted to University Hospital Limerick after being found unresponsive at about 13:30 BST on Thursday.
It is believed the girl was left in the car for several hours.
Gardaà (Irish police) are investigating the incident and have described it as a tragedy.
A reporter with the Irish Independent told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster that it is possible the baby died from sunstroke.
"People are stunned," said Ralph Riegel. "It was a beautiful day in Tipperary yesterday, the hottest day of the year.
"It wasn't realised or appreciated that the little girl was left asleep in the vehicle for a significant period of time.
"One of the theories being looked at is that she had already suffered sunstroke and doctors just simply were not able to save her."
Mr Riegel added that the girl was an only child and that her parents had married in the last two years.
"They're both from the area, a very respected and very popular couple. They're both involved in business activity and sporting activities in Tipperary.
"We're expecting a full post-mortem examination to take place today and, at the moment, they're being comforted by family and friends."
Mr Riegel said that police are preparing a file for the Tipperary County Coroner although an inquest into the death is "almost definitely not going to happen before next year".

Text: Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe, left more than 7,000 books - including first editions by Wordsworth, Shelley and Byron, to Trinity College's library.
The duchess, who died in 2014 aged 99, kept some of the rarest, undiscovered works in an old blue suitcase.
Mr Gascoigne said it was "a delight" to see the books in their new home.
The former University Challenge presenter, who inherited the duchess's former home, said the collection had contained "treasures and rarities unknown to anyone" since the death of his aunt's father in 1945.
It was "thrilling", he said, "that they will from now on be available to everyone".
The duchess's bequest included previously unknown manuscripts by Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Florence Nightingale and Charles Dickens.
Trinity College's librarian Dr Nicolas Bell described the find as "an extraordinary library - one of the most important private collections in Britain, which offers untold discoveries".
He said they found what the duchess called 'the holy of holies' in an old blue suitcase stored in a bedroom cupboard.
"Opening the suitcase was an exciting moment," said Dr Bell. "It contained some exceptionally rare first editions of Shelley's poems, books inscribed by William Beckford and Oscar Wilde, a pristine first edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and some bizarre curiosities such as a fragment of Voltaire's dressing gown."
The duchess's father, Robert Crewe-Milnes, and grandfather, Richard Monckton Milnes, both studied at Trinity before embarking on political careers.

Text: The singer, who lives near Framlingham in Suffolk, was pulled up by a roads sergeant on Twitter after singing about "driving at 90" in Castle on the Hill.
Sheeran said the blue signs, saying "drive safe", would be placed around parts of his home county.
He said: "I'm not encouraging speeding at all, I'm just singing it in a song."

Castle on the Hill, described as a "love song for Suffolk", was released in January and has remained towards the top of the chart since - being kept off the top spot by his other release, Shape of You.
Sgt Chris Harris, from Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing, posted a plea on Twitter for people to "slow down on Suffolk roads" in response to the line "driving at 90 down those country lanes".
"I don't think it specifically says miles per hour," Sheeran told the BBC. "It could be kilometres per hour."
The singer's decision to erect the signs coincides with the release of his third album, ÷.
"We have a marketing spend for this album and I wanted to do some sort of billboards in Suffolk," Sheeran said. "We thought it would be quite funny instead of having billboards saying the album is out, just having a blue sign that says 'drive safe'."
The singer also said he was not too disappointed that Castle on the Hill failed to swap places with Shape of You in the chart, as he hoped it eventually would.
"For me it's all about the live show, having songs that react well, and having a song that's been in the top five for eight weeks will definitely go down well at a live show," he said.

Text: Marissa Birch was also found to be heavily intoxicated and unable to care for the girl just months later.
She was not at work at the time of the incidents in 2014 but was an employee of a nursery in Kilwinning, Ayrshire.
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) said Ms Birch had also failed to inform them about her criminal history.
She was convicted and charged with two counts of breach of the peace in 2012 and 2014, and with racially aggravated harassment in 2015.
Two of these incidents took place after she had been suspended while an investigation was being carried out.
The SSSC said it had been unacceptable for Ms Birch to hit the child, and she had been convicted of a number of serious allegations.
The watchdog said: "The sub-committee could not be satisfied that the behaviour would not be repeated.
"Whilst none of the behaviour took place at work, given your chaotic lifestyle, the sub-committee could not be satisfied that the behaviour will not be repeated during the course of your employment.
"You placed the victims of your crimes in a state of fear and alarm.
"The behaviour falls well below the standard expected of a registered worker."
In its findings, the council noted that Ms Birch had no previous record with the SSSC and she had "expressed some regret".
The council ruled that a removal order was "the only appropriate sanction which would safeguard the interests of service users, the public and the reputation of the social services profession".

Text: The move follows a rise in the number of oil and gas operators using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to conduct inspections and other offshore tasks.
The guidelines were developed by industry and aviation safety experts and UAS operators.
They cover best practice, procedures and the certification needed to be compliant with UAS regulations.
Oil and Gas UK's health, safety and environment director Mick Borwell said: "A small but increasing number of oil and gas operators are using UAS for inspections predominantly, but also for aerial photography, surveying and security.
"The technology is particularly attractive for its use in improving safety.
"For example, sending unmanned aircraft instead of people into confined spaces to conduct inspections reduces risk, and is also effective and efficient.
"We expect their usage to grow."
Mr Borwell said the new guidelines aimed to be consistent with safety and operating standards already adopted on the UK Continental Shelf for offshore oil and gas production and helicopter flight operations.
He added: "The intention is to encourage offshore operators planning on using this emerging technology to think about the whole operating and safety system offshore and not just the air vehicle."

Text: Archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler discovered it in the 1930s on the site of the ancient Roman city of Verulamium, now St Albans.
The priceless work became the centrepiece of the City Hall theatre - now the Alban Arena - but has been covered up for the past 48 years.
It will go on show during refurbishment work at the venue from Monday.
Annie Brewster from St Albans City and District Council, said: "This is a rare and fantastic chance to view a mosaic that is part of St Albans' history.
"Each of the mosaics that have been uncovered at Verulamium Park has its own special colours, symbols and patterns. This one is very intricate and striking - it is hard to take your eyes off it."
The mosaic measures 3.6 square metres and is made up of hundreds of tiny white, brown and red tiles in an intricate design featuring many different shapes and symbols.
For almost 50 years, many theatre-goers have been unaware they were walking on history as the mosaic was hidden under a protective carpet.
The rarely-seen work, which dates back to the second or third century AD, will be on display until 12 August.
There will also be talks by Simon West, the district archaeologist, and David Thorold, curator of collections at Verulamium Museum.
Ms Brewster added: "I am sure hundreds of people will want to take advantage of this opportunity to see it close up.
"In the longer term, we have to move this mosaic for a permanent display rather than have it hidden from view and will be looking to raise funds to do that."

Text: Family court judge Lynn Roberts was told the 16-year-old boy had too little space to move around in.
His parents had "huge amounts of belongings" which had "taken over their home", the hearing in Ipswich was told.
The judge said the teenager, who was born with "profound disabilities", had been spending days "mainly confined to a very small space on the floor".
Judge Roberts said the youngster had been schooled at home and she had "great concern" he had not been seen in his "home environment" by education officials.
She was also concerned professionals with responsibility for his care had "just accepted" what his parents had said about his abilities without carrying out tests.
Judge Roberts made a care order following a request from social services at Essex County Council.
The judge did not identify the boy or his parents.
His parents were "loving" but had been "neglectful" and had caused him to become "socially isolated", she said.
"The parents, for their own personal reasons, had collected or inherited huge amounts of belongings which had taken over their home," the written ruling said.
"This meant (he) had very little space in which to move around and that, with his mobility difficulties, his ability to move around was greatly inhibited."
The judge concluded there was "too much stuff around".

Text: The ability to trace nuisance drones back to their owner or pilot would improve compliance with regulations, the groups said in a joint statement.
Near-misses involving drones and aircraft are on the rise - 10 UK cases risked collision this year, according to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
US users must already register drones weighing more than half a pound (228g).
A total of 10 associations in the EU have made the call, including the European Cockpit Association and the International Air Transport Association.
"The recreational use of drones is rapidly increasing, and the related risk of incidents and accidents with manned aviation must be mitigated," the bodies said.
Safety risks associated with drones were often underestimated, they added.
The UK's CAA has not joined calls for a drone register.
"Our overall aim is to prevent any kind of conflict in the air from happening in the first place," a spokesman told the BBC.
"Registration has advantages, but it's a complicated decision to make about what the benefits of registration are."
But registration could be used as a means to ensure drones are safe to use, according to Stephan Appt at law firm Pinsent Masons.
"You can also obviously attach some requirements to the registration which could be evidence of technical security, that everything that needs to be checked has been or that the device can land properly if there is an emergency," he told the BBC.
Besides registration, the European and international bodies are also requesting that drones be equipped with altitude and distance restricting software preventing them from entering sensitive airspace - a feature known as "geofencing".
Some drone makers, including DJI, already include such technology in their products, but there is no universal requirement to do so.

On this day, there are usually ceremonies at war memorials, cenotaphs and churches throughout the country, as well as abroad.
The Royal Family and top politicians gather at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, for a memorial service.
The anniversary is used to remember all the people who have died in wars, not just World War One.
This includes World War Two, the Falklands War, the Gulf War, and conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The first two-minute silence in Britain was held on 11 November 1919, when King George V asked the public to observe a silence at 11am.
This was one year after the end of World War One.
He made the request so "the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead".

Text: The 27-year-old Ukraine striker wrote an open letter to fans of Rayo, who have a large left-wing fanbase, after his deadline-day move denying he had links to the far right.
But supporters of the Madrid-based second-tier strugglers turned up to his first training session, protesting with a banner saying their town was "not a place for Nazis".
Zozulya, who joined Seville-based Betis from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the summer, will not be able to play again this season, because league rules say players cannot register for more than two teams in one campaign.
His open letter to fans on Tuesday said: "Unfortunately, my arrival in Spain was accompanied by a misunderstanding by a journalist who knows very little about the reality of my country and my own career.
"I arrived at Seville airport wearing a shirt with the badge of Ukraine. This journalist reported that I was wearing a shirt from a paramilitary group, whose badge is distinguished from the badge of my country.
"Betis asked for the article to be removed, which it was immediately after [the newspaper] recognised their error and apologised.
"As I stated at my presentation with Real Betis, I'm not linked to any paramilitary or neo-Nazi group."
But Rayo fans did not believe him and told him to leave the club during his first - and only - training session.
Betis sporting director Miguel Torrecilla said: "We have decided it's in the best interests of the player to return to Seville.
"The player is very upset, he didn't expect this to happen. Yesterday he wrote a letter to Rayo's fans but it seems as if he couldn't convince certain sectors and we'll receive him back here."

Text: Monkstown forward Nikki Evans and UCD midfielder Gillian Pinder scored the goals which secured Wednesday's vital victory in Johannesburg,
Ireland play Olympic champions England in their final pool fixture on Sunday.
Victory in the quarter-finals would see the Irish seal a berth in the World Cup finals to be held in London.
Ireland dominated the game against Poland but struggled to convert their pressure into goals.
It took a piece of individual skill from Evans to hold off two Polish defenders before neatly finishing on the reverse stick to open the scoring in the first quarter.
Ireland extended their lead in the third quarter when a loose ball in the circle was picked up by Pinder who fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the Polish net.
Ireland will not know who their opponents in Tuesday's quarter-finals will be until the Pool stages are completed, but a win in that game would clinch a place in the World Cup finals for the first time since 2002 as well as a place in the World League final to be held in Auckland in November.
Should Ireland lose their last eight tie, they will play-off for fifth to eighth place with the country taking fifth also booking a place in the World Cup finals.
Summary: | Ireland beat Poland to clinch a place in the quarter-finals of World League 3 and maintain their push for a place in next year's World Cup finals. |
Text: The blaze broke out in the early hours of Friday morning at the property in the Tiger Court area.
The officers had helped to save residents from the burning building.
None of the residents suffered any injuries.
Alliance councillor for the area, Neil Kelly, said it was fortunate no-one was killed.
"This could have been a terrible tragedy, especially at Christmas time," he said.
"I must praise the brave actions of the two police officers who entered the building despite the clear danger which confronted them. They put their own lives at risk to protect the public. I hope they will be able to make a swift recovery.
"The people behind this arson attack have no regard for the lives of others. They must be apprehended by the police."

Text: The Tigers, who host Leicester on 13 August, have been without a manager since Steve Bruce resigned after a fall out with vice-chairman Ehab Allam.
City are yet to make a summer signing.
"It's clear the desire to protest against the way the club is being run is stronger than ever before," said the Hull City Supporters' Trust (HCST).
Owner Assem Allam, who took charge of the Tigers in December 2010, put the club up for sale in 2014 after the Football Association turned down his request to change their name to Hull Tigers.
The East Yorkshire club opened talks with an interested party in May, but put takeover talks on hold until September to "ensure stability during the transfer window".
However, City have a threadbare squad after failing to sign any new players and a number of senior players were injured.
The club, who were promoted after winning the Championship play-off final in May, had an approach to speak to Wales boss Chris Coleman about replacing Bruce turned down by the Football Association of Wales (FAW) on Monday.
"No communication, no manager, no engagement, no signings, no identity, no concessions, no honesty. The list goes on," added the HCST statement.
"The owners are digging their heels in more than ever, discarding people at an alarming rate and pushing ahead with all of their ill-considered ideas with their usual arrogance and complete lack of interest in the damaging effects they will have.
"We will be organising and coordinating protests over the coming weeks."
A section of supporters held up red cards during April's home win against Brentford and the Trust said it would expand on that idea as part of the protest.
"Cards alone are not enough though, so we'll be organising additional protests, but we'd like to keep some of this as a surprise for maximum impact," it added.
Summary: | Hull City fans are planning a protest against the "ill-considered ideas" of the newly-promoted club's owners on the first day of the Premier League season. |
Text: Four crew were on board the Sikorsky S92 when it crashed during a coastguard operation on 14 March.
The 45-year-old pilot, Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, was recovered from the sea but died in hospital later that day.
Search crews said they were "hopeful" the bodies of the three missing crew could be inside.
"That is the absolute hope," Chief Inspector with the Air Accident Investigation Unit, Jurgen Whyte, told the broadcaster, RTÉ.
"We have the wreckage, it's now just a matter of getting a weather window."
The families of Captain Mark Duffy, winch operator Paul Ormsby and winchman Ciaran Smith have been informed of the latest development.
The wreck has been located about 60m off Blackrock island, and is lying on the seabed at a depth of about 40m, the Irish Coast Guard said.
A remotely-operated vehicle (ROV), fitted with an underwater camera, was deployed in the search operation on Wednesday morning, eight days after the crash.
However, it was not yet able to confirm if any bodies are inside the wreckage.
The wreck was found close to where a signal from the helicopter's black box recorder was detected last week.
A recovery operation will now take place, but search teams will have to take account of weather conditions, which have already hampered the search.
Relatives of the crew are to visit the site later in an Irish naval ship.
The President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny joined hundreds of mourners at Capt Fitzpatrick's funeral on Saturday.
Her sister told the funeral Mass that "God owes us, he owes us to bring home Dara's three colleagues who are still missing".

Text: The claim: The Conservatives pledged to build up the size of the army to 82,000 by 2020.
Reality Check verdict: The actual manifesto pledge was to not let the size of the army fall below 82,000. It currently stands at nearly 78,500 so that pledge has been broken.
"We said we would build the army up to 82,000 by the year 2020," he replied, adding that the number was currently just over 79,000 but pointing out that it was not yet 2020.
But Mr Fallon was mistaken about what his party had promised to do two years ago.
The actual pledge from the manifesto was: "We will maintain the size of the regular armed services and not reduce the army to below 82,000."
The Ministry of Defence publishes monthly figures for the size of the armed forces, the most recent of which are for March this year.
They show that in May 2015, at the time of the last election, the number of full-time, trained staff in the army was 81,935, having dropped from 98,418 in the previous three years.
It has fallen gradually in the two years since then, so that it now stands at 78,432.

Text: Following their 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Republic of Ireland, in Dublin, Georgia are winless after two matches in Group D.
Weiss admitted the match at the Cardiff City Stadium could be the final hope for his side.
"This maybe the last chance to do it, to dream. This is very true," said Weiss.
''I hope we can take points from any team. We have quality, but we must show it, score goals and play with balance between attack and defence.''
Georgia will be without captain Jaba Kankave while defender Solomon Kverkveliya will play with protective head gear after an injury in the Ireland game.
Wales lead Group D on goal difference from Serbia, Austria and Ireland, who are all on four points.
Georgia, who lost despite encouraging showings against Austria and Ireland, are pointless and have only Moldova below them on goal difference.
Defender Zourab Tsiskaridze backed his coach and he too has been heartened by the form of his side.
''You open up the papers in Dublin and you could see the disappointment," said Tsiskaridze.
"Actually it said in big letters - ''Big Escape'' - that was the headline because we dominated that game, its a shame we did not get a point.
''We deserved three. It was the same thing with Austria, maybe not as fantastic a game, but we had three or four chances, but we were not able to capitalise on those chances.''
In the absence of injured Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey, Georgia say they will attempt to plan for the presence of Gareth Bale as they look to build on their record of having won all three previous encounters with Wales.
Tsiskaridze added: ''He has unbelievable quality. With the coach we will make some plan toward that, but it will be an honour to play against him if it happens.''
Summary: | Coach Vladimir Weiss believes Georgia have to shock Wales to keep their World Cup qualification dreams alive. |

Text: The system can be set up to request manual, automatic and random breath tests from the offender and includes a picture identity verification.
The pilot is being carried out voluntarily on six offenders in the Dyfed-Powys area.
The results will be reviewed after the three-month pilot.
Ch Insp Craig Templeton said: "We're keen to find out if this new technology would provide a cost-effective and improved management of offenders throughout Dyfed-Powys, and ultimately lead to a reduction in the level of re-offending."
The new technology also includes electronic GPS real-time tracking.
It is being tested by the Integrated Offender Management team, where Dyfed-Powys Police and Wales Probation Service work together to prevent and reduce re-offending of those who have the most detrimental effect on their communities.

Text: The Hills Waste site at Lower Compton has consent to operate until December 2016. After that it has to be restored back to greenfield.
In spite of 129 letters of objection, it was expected the application to retain and extend the site would be approved.
A spokesman for the waste firm said it was "extremely disappointed".
The company was hoping not only to retain the site but process up to 119,000 tonnes of household waste a year there.
However, residents claimed it would result in an HGV every two minutes, 12 hours a day, on the road to the site.
Despite being recommended for approval by planning officials, the proposal was rejected by the council's strategic planning committee.
A spokesman for the firm said councillors had "behaved unreasonably" in voting against the scheme.
"The issues do not reflect the planning position or the technical reports which have been scrutinised by Wiltshire Council and by external consultants," he said.
"Hills is confident that this decision will be overturned on appeal and will be looking to recover full costs of the appeal from the council."

Text: A neighbour's surveillance camera captured footage of Federico LaGuardia being targeted by two attackers in the Marquette Park neighbourhood.
Mr LaGuardia was able to walk to a neighbour's house for help. He has undergone surgery and is in a fair condition, say police.
A $1,000 (£750) reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
Police say two male suspects on bicycles approached Mr LaGuardia outside his home at about 11:00am on Tuesday.

Text: Stourhead in Wiltshire is the South West's most visited trust property, while the pantheon across the lake is one of its most important features.
According to the trust the listed building has a leaking roof and cracked steps and is in urgent need of repairs.
Mike MacCormack, from the trust, said Stourhead's "iconic views would not be the same if the pantheon wasn't there".
Modelled on the pantheon in Rome, by architect Henry Flitcroft, it was carefully placed in the landscape along with 20 other buildings and structures. The last time work was carried out on the pantheon was in the 1980s when its dome and interior was restored.
Now cash from the Sita Trust, a charitable organisation which distributes donations from the waste management firm Sita UK, will be used to repair the building.

Text: Stokes, 25, was injured while bowling in England's 330-run series-levelling win at Old Trafford in the second Test.
The all-rounder was replaced by Steven Finn for the third Test at Edgbaston, which started on Wednesday.
Stokes is hoping to be fit for the one-day series against Pakistan, which begins on 24 August.
He told BBC Test Match Special: "There was a possibility of being fit for the last Test but rather than risk more damage we decided to take it easy.
"I came back from South Africa and the first Test match back I did my knee. Now I've done my calf. It's been frustrating but I haven't written my summer off yet."
Stokes scored 34 in the first innings of the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford and had match figures of 2-60 before leaving the field injured on day four.
This is Stokes' third notable injury in the past nine months. He damaged his shoulder in the third Test against Pakistan last October, and consequently missed the four-match one-day series and three Twenty20.
He then injured his knee in the first Test against Sri Lanka in May, which resulted in a month on the sidelines.
Stokes made his competitive return in the T20 Blast for Durham on 24 June and played five T20s and two first-class games, but was left out of England's squad for the first Test against Pakistan, which the visitors won by 75 runs.
Summary: | England's Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the rest of the four-Test series against Pakistan with a right calf strain. |
