Bestival has revealed an all-female line-up in its second wave of announcements for this year's Isle of Wight event.

Article: It matters in a symbolic sense in that it would be the first time, since the Bank of England was given control over interest rates, that it has missed the target on the downside.
Although it missed the target on the upside (that is inflation was over 3%) for month after pricey month from May 2008 to February 2009 and then from the beginning of 2010 to April 2012 (when it was at 3% or less only once).
To labour the point (as is my wont, yawn) it would be the first time that the rules put in place by Gordon Brown as Chancellor would oblige the Governor to write a letter explaining why inflation is too low - and what he and his colleagues intend to do about it.
But the more important question is whether inflation at less than 1% is actually bad for us - given that the implication of the Bank of England's mandate, that inflation should not be more than 1 percentage point above or below 2%, suggests it would be bad.
Well, the big reason that inflation has been falling - falls in food and oil-linked prices - should be good for most consumers and businesses, in that we have to buy these things and the drops make our money go further.
The lower prices are the equivalent of a chunky tax cut.
So in theory they will encourage us to spend more, and thus provide positive momentum for the economy, to offset - inter alia - the drag from the stagnating eurozone.
That said, there is also very little inflation in categories of discretionary spending, such as recreation, culture, clothing and furniture.
And, as I mentioned last week, we are likely to start shipping in deflationary pressures from the eurozone, as the European Central Bank responds to falling prices there by weakening the euro - which means we will pay less for imports from our important eurozone trading partners.
The point is that inflation is likely to remain well below target for many months, and if we all started to defer discretionary spending in the hope of buying cheaper later, falling inflation could turn into deflation and slump.
So although there is no...

Summary: If official inflation falls below 1% tomorrow, which seems more-or-less certain, would that matter?

Article: The Juno satellite is rapidly bearing down on the gas giant after a five-year journey from Earth.
It must slow itself to get captured by the gravity of the giant world.
This all-or-nothing job will be performed by its Leros-1b engine built by Moog-ISP in Westcott, Buckinghamshire.
"It's a tremendous thing for us," said Moog's chief engineer, Dr Ian Coxhill.
"The engine has to work for Juno to get into orbit; it has to burn at a precise time and burn for a continuous duration of at least 20 mins.
"There'll be some frayed nerves, for sure."
The Leros-1b was chosen to be the main engine on the Nasa satellite by its manufacturer, Lockheed Martin.
Previous American space agency missions have also used the Westcott technology, including the Messenger probe that went into orbit around Mercury in 2011. So, there is high confidence this latest engine will be up to the task.
Indeed, Juno has already fired it during the epic journey to Jupiter.
Back in 2012, the Leros had to operate reliably twice to refine the trajectory of the spacecraft, and on each occasion the engine burned flawlessly for more than 20 minutes.
"In fact, things went so well that Lockheed Martin said initially they thought they had confused the real flight data on the engine burn with the simulation data. It was that accurate. So that's obviously really encouraging," Dr Coxhill told BBC News.
The Jupiter Orbit Insertion manoeuvre will be conducted in the early hours of Tuesday morning, British time.
Juno will turn and fire the Leros in the forward direction to try to remove about 500m/s from its velocity - enough so that it goes into a 53-day orbit around the gas giant.
No burn or a burn of insufficient length would send Juno into the oblivion of deep space.
The probe will send back a series of tones to update Nasa and Lockheed Martin engineers on the progress of the insertion.
The Leros should light at 04:18 BST (03:18 GMT) and terminate at 4:53 BST (03:53 GMT), for a full firing of 35 minutes in length.
These are what are called Earth-receive...

Summary: When the US space agency's latest probe to Jupiter tries to enter into orbit around the planet on Tuesday, it will be relying on a British rocket engine.

Article: That represents a substantial gain on alternatives that can struggle to run longer than a day.
The Geak Watch 2 models achieve the feat by using a hybrid screen that switches between a "high definition" LCD colour display and a "standby mode" battery-saving e-ink one.
One expert said this was "very clever".
"One of the big challenges that smartwatch manufacturers have had is that people stop using the devices, and one of the reasons they do so is that they have to be charged on a regular basis, whereby they are being taken off constantly," said Ben Wood from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
"Anything that enhances the battery life is a big win.
"That's why we've seen people who have Pebble devices typically using them longer than some of the rivals with daily charging requirements."
Pebble smartwatches also promise "up to seven days" between charges thanks to the use of a black-and-white e-paper display, but lack the ability to switch to a colour LCD screen or run Android, restricting the amount of apps they offer.
The new smartwatches are made by Shanda, a Shanghai-based company that helped pioneer the sector with its first Geak Watch in 2013.
Reviews at the time indicated that the first-generation device lasted between 10 and 15 hours.
Early adopters are being rewarded with an offer to trade in the old watch for a free new one.
Shanda says:
Owners can alternate between the two display modes by pressing a power button.
Both watches feature a circular 1.3in (3.2cm) display offering a resolution of 254 pixels per inch when the LCD is in use - roughly the same specifications as LG's G Watch R, which does not include the e-ink component.
Shanda's Pro model features a metal, rather than plastic, bezel and also includes a built-in heart rate monitor.
The models are powered by Geak Watch OS, a proprietary "skinned" version of Android 4.3 that has its own app store and user interface, rather than Google's Android Wear software.
This helps it overcome the fact that Google Now - the anticipatory search service that...

Summary: One of China's leading tech firms has unveiled two Android-powered smartwatches that it says can last about a week between charges.

Article: Charli XCX, Ella Eyre and Lianne La Havas will appear alongside The Chemical Brothers and Underworld.
Other festivals have been criticised for the lack of women on their bills.
Last week, music blog Crack in the Road posted images of edited posters removing all the names of male performers.
The rather blank-looking page was shared on social media, with the bills at Reading and Leeds, Download and T in the Park also a focus for criticism.
Neneh Cherry, Andreya Triana and Radio 1 DJ B.Traits are among other female acts to be announced by Bestival.
Organiser Rob da Bank said: "There are shed-loads of amazing people making some startlingly good music at the moment and look, lots of them are female."
This year's Bestival theme is Summer of Love.
It takes place at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight between 10 and 13 September, with 25 stages on offer.

Summary:


Tributes have been paid to an "always smiling" toddler whose mother and stepfather have been accused of his murder.

Article: Problems were identified at Drumpellier Lodge, at Bargeddie in North Lanarkshire, by the Care Inspectorate.
Its owners, Clancare Limited, have been ordered to improve staffing levels and the standard of care to residents.
The Care Inspectorate said it would "not hesitate to take further action" if further checks found no progress on the problems identified.
A Care Inspectorate spokesman said: "We have clearly set out the areas which require swift improvement at Drumpellier Lodge so that the care provided to residents reaches a standard that they have a right to expect.
"We will inspect this service again soon to check on progress and to ensure that improvements have been made.
"If we are not satisfied that sufficient progress is being made quickly, we will not hesitate to take further action."
The Care Inspectorate said it had served a formal improvement notice on Drumpellier Lodge.
The notice states that it must demonstrate that it is making "proper provision for the health, welfare and safety of service users".
It calls for "a written personal plan for each resident" which is reviewed "at least every six months".
Residents must have access to "sufficient meaningful activities" and have "access to outdoor space and events".
The care home has also been told to review staffing levels to make sure residents are properly cared for and make sure that the staffing schedule is followed.
The Care Inspectorate previously called for improvements at Drumpellier Lodge after finding failings in 2014.

Summary: Inspectors have told a care home to make "swift improvements" or face having its registration cancelled.

Article: EU firms wanting to export drugs such as the sedative sodium thiopental will now first have to ensure the product is not going to be used for executions.
The ruling could slow down the rate of executions in the US, where the drug must be used by law in lethal injections but is in short supply.
European rights groups welcomed the restrictions as a "positive step".
The European Commission - the executive arm of the EU - said it wanted to ensure that no drugs were being exported from the union for use in "capital punishment, torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".
The death penalty is banned in all 27 EU states and the bloc has been calling for its abolition worldwide.
Sodium thiopental is legally required to be used in lethal injections in the 34 US states that still practice the death penalty.
It is the first of three drugs used for executions, intended to make the condemned person unconscious before deadly drugs are administered.
Earlier this year its only US manufacturer, Hospira, stopped making the drug.
It is still made in Britain, Italy, Germany, Austria and Denmark, but in April, an emergency export ban was imposed in the UK after the human rights group Reprieve sued the government.
Indian producer Kayem Pharmaceuticals has also said it will no longer sell the drug to US prisons.
The shortage in the US has already led to a marked decreased in the number of executions being carried out.
Some states have stockpiled sodium thiopental while others switched to using an alternative, pentobarbital, but that is also covered by the EU ban.
The Danish manufacturer of pentobarbital, Lundbeck, has objected to the "distressing misuse" of its product, designed for epilepsy treatment, and introduced checks to ensure it is not shipped to US prisons.
The executive director of Reprieve, Clare Algar, said the Commission's ruling was an "important and positive first step".
"Any pharmaceutical company wishing to preserve an ethical reputation must take steps to ensure their drugs are not used...

Summary: The European Commission has imposed strict controls on the export of drugs used to carry out lethal injections.

Article: The group's national executive board will meet to ratify the resolution on 27 July, the Boy Scouts said in a statement.
It is a major step towards ending a policy that has caused deep rifts in the group, which was set up in 1910.
In 2013, the BSA ended a ban allowing openly gay boys to become scouts.
Earlier this year, former US defence secretary Robert Gates, who is BSA president, told the group's national meeting that the ban on gay adults needed to end, saying it was no longer sustainable.
The selection of Mr Gates as president in 2014 was seen as an opportunity to revisit the policy since he helped end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that barred openly gay people from serving in the US military.
The resolution, which was passed by the BSA's 17-member executive committee on Friday, will become official policy if it is ratified by the 80-member executive board later this month.
It will allow scout units to set their own policy on the issue and mean they can select adult leaders without regard to sexual orientation.
It will, however, also allow units with religious ties to "continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own".
Several denominations that sponsor large numbers of scout units - including the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention - have been apprehensive about ending the ban on gay adults.
The resolution was hailed by Zach Wahls, an Eagle Scout (the highest boy scout rank) raised by two lesbians who now heads the advocacy group Scouts for Equality.
"While this policy change is not perfect - BSA's religious chartering partners will be allowed to continue to discriminate against gay adults - it is difficult to overstate the importance of today's announcement," Mr Wahls said.

Summary: The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has unanimously approved a resolution to end the organisation's ban on gay adults working as leaders.

Article: Jeremiah Regis, aged two-and-a-half, was found injured at an address in Wolverhampton on November 20.
Sindyann Regis and Chevaze Mcgregor appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday charged with murder.
The court heard Jeremiah was found with more than 100 injuries, including a bite to the chest.
A tribute released by his family said: "Jeremiah was a lovely, quiet, innocent little boy who was always smiling.
"He will be greatly missed by his Nanna and entire family."
At Friday's hearing, Ms Regis, 25, of High Street, Wednesfield, and Mr Mcgregor, 27, of New Road in Rainford, Essex, spoke only to confirm their names.
Judge James Burbidge adjourned the case until December and set a provisional trial date of 25 April.
Jeremiah was found with head and body injuries when police and paramedics were called to an address in High Street, Wednesfield, shortly before midnight on Sunday.
He was pronounced dead in hospital on 21 November.
A post-mortem examination showed he died of abdominal peritonitis caused by blunt force trauma.

Warrenpoint Town say they are "shocked" by an IFA ruling that confirmed their relegation from the Premiership and saw Carrick Rangers stay in the top flight.

Article: The bombshell comes from a new court filing in an increasingly bitter battle between the actor and his ex-managers.
He's suing them for mismanaging his money and they're countersuing him.
Among their claims about his spending, they say he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to employ a sound engineer to read him his lines on film sets.
The actor has used the method "for years to feed him lines during film production", according to a court document that was filed on Monday.
"Depp insisted that this sound engineer be kept on yearly retainer so that he no longer had to memorise his lines," according to the papers, written by attorney Michael Kump on behalf of The Management Group's Joel and Robert Mandel.
Details of the court document have been reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Deadline, the New York Post and others.
A lawyer for the movie star responded by describing the allegations as "psychobabble".
A statement from Adam Waldman said: "This is how guilty people respond when confronted with the detailed results of a nine-month legal and forensic investigation conducted by four firms."
In the new document, The Management Group (TMG) said the Pirates of the Caribbean star may have "compulsive spending disorder" and needs "a mental examination".
He originally sued them for fraud, but in an amended complaint filed on Monday, the firm said they "did everything possible to protect Depp from his own irresponsible and profligate spending" before he fired them in March 2016.
According to the reports, they claim he spent more than $75m (Â£58m) to acquire and improve on 14 residences, including a chain of islands in the Bahamas, multiple houses in Hollywood and a 45-acre chateau in the south of France.
They also say he bought 45 luxury vehicles, 70 collectible guitars and enough Hollywood memorabilia to fill 12 storage facilities.
Depp spent up to $1.2m (Â£930,000) a year for a "personal on-call physician" and "millions more to employ an army of attorneys", they allege.
They say the lawyers bailed him out of...

Summary: Johnny Depp's former managers have claimed the star is fed his lines through an earpiece so he doesn't have to memorise his scripts, US media say.

Article: The agreement, which is being brokered by the party's chief whip Rosie Winterton, would involve MPs being permitted to elect only a proportion of shadow cabinet places.
Progress had been made and "this will be sorted", one shadow minister said.
Reinstating elections has been a key demand of MPs who quit this summer.
Labour has also said a "not insignificant number" of MPs will return to the shadow cabinet next week - in advance of any formal agreement on elections - among them some "surprising names".
Some members of the NEC and the current shadow cabinet believe that Mr Corbyn cannot return to parliament in a couple of weeks time with continuing vacancies on his frontbench.
At the very start of this week's conference in Liverpool, speaker after speaker at a Labour First rally - filled to the gunnels by those who hadn't voted for Jeremy Corbyn - called for shadow cabinet elections as a way of bringing about unity between the pro and anti-Corbyn factions.
While on the surface no progress appeared to have been made since then at the conference or on the party's NEC, under the radar a parallel process was taking place involving the chief whip and members of Mr Corbyn's staff.
Whether the deal would be enough to bring back high-profile Corbyn critics remains to be seen. But there is some confidence that a deal is on the cards that could see some of those roughly 60 front bench positions begin to fill up.
Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson had made the case for MPs to have some say over who sits at the party's top table at a meeting of the ruling NEC last Tuesday.
No agreement was reached but Watson pressed Corbyn to agree to the demand at Saturday's night NEC meeting in Liverpool as a sign that he was willing to compromise but also to settle the issue swiftly so it didn't hang over the conference.
Instead, and despite the talk of unity, Jeremy Corbyn backed a demand to remove voting rights from NEC representatives appointed by the party's leaders in Scotland and Wales - neither of whom backed his re-election. The...

Summary: A deal paving the way for elections to Labour's shadow cabinet could be done well before the party's proposed review in November, the BBC has been told.

A total of 4,851 seats were up for grabs in 88 councils - all 32 in Scotland, 22 in Wales and 34 country councils and unitary authorities in England.
Local elections: Latest updates
The Conservatives have made gains while Labour, UKIP, the Lib Dems and the SNP have all lost ground.
Labour has lost more than 380 council seats, UKIP has suffered heavy losses and the Lib Dems have not made the gains they had hoped for.
The Conservatives appear to have been the main beneficiaries of a decline in support for UKIP.
The party is now in charge of 11 more councils having taken Derbyshire from Labour as well as Warwickshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, the Isle of Wight and Monmouthshire - all of which were previously under no overall control.
They also increased their total number of councillors in Scotland by more than 160.

Meanwhile, it has been a much less successful day for Labour.
The party has lost control of seven councils, including Glasgow, as well as Bridgend and Blaenau Gwent. It also lost the metro mayor contests in the West Midlands and Tees Valley, a traditional Labour heartland, to the Conservatives - but former cabinet minister Andy Burnham scored a big win in Greater Manchester.

Article: An IFA Disciplinary Committee opted not to impose any sanction after finding that Carrick did not properly implement manager Gary Haveron's touchline ban.
The committee said it would "exercise its discretion" in the matter.
A Warrenpoint Town statement argued that the decision "contradicted the IFA's obligation to apply objectivity".
"The board of Warrenpoint Town have read the IFA Disciplinary Committee determination regarding the breach of Article 23.1 of the IFA Disciplinary Code by the Carrick Rangers FC Manager," the statement began.
"We are shocked that the IFA having found Carrick guilty failed to implement the requisite admonishment as per established rules.
"The board will be meeting soon to discuss further this matter and the complaint we formally raised surrounding eligibility which is in abeyance."
Carrick faced a possible three-point deduction and relegation from the top flight, plus a possible fine of at least £350, if the outcome of the hearing did not go in their favour.
However in a statement released on Wednesday night, the committee indicated that "the interests of justice were best served by not imposing a sanction in all the circumstances".
As it stands, Ballinamallard United and Institute await a date for the second leg of their promotion-relegation play-off, the Mallards having won the first leg 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium on 6 May.
Haveron sat out a three-game ban handed out by the IFA, but was in the dugout for his club's match against Dungannon Swifts on 23 April when he should not have been.
"The club did not explain to the Committee's satisfaction the reasons why the start date for the suspension set out in the initial charge letter (18 April 2016)  was not complied with and therefore the challenge from Carrick Rangers was not upheld," read the IFA statement released on Wednesday night.
"The Committee took into account the points made on behalf of the club and decided to exercise its discretion under the overriding objective as outlined in Articles 1.6 and 1.7 of the Disciplinary...

The AA is calling on councils to "get to grips" with road maintenance after a survey found 39% of UK drivers reported pothole damage in the past two years.

Article: The way Wales is funded from Westminster is just one of the familiar issues being debated behind-the-scenes in the 1980s.
Then the main arguments were prompted by a feeling within Whitehall that what was known then as "the territorials formula" (better known today as the Barnett formula) was too generous to Scotland. Margaret Thatcher ordered a review but the formula survives to this day.
The "north-south divide" was on the agenda, although the head of Mrs Thatcher's policy unit described it as a "myth". One suggestion was that Manchester could be projected more vigorously, although no-one used the phrase "northern powerhouse".
I was surprised by the extent of opposition within Mrs Thatcher's government to the Cardiff Bay barrage, although her Welsh Secretary Nicholas Edwards (now Lord Crickhowell) insists there is a full account in his memoirs (page 48).
The newly-released files show how officials thought he pursued his project - "the Edwards barrage" - without consulting colleagues or the Treasury. There is a sense that he was trying to bounce the cabinet into supporting the barrage. Mrs Thatcher's "the scheme just hasn't been worked out enough" note reveals her fear of "an elaborate and expensive presentation".
But the barrage was (eventually) built, and opened long after Thatcher and Crickhowell had left frontline politics.

Summary: Anyone covering 21st Century politics stumbling across the latest releases from the Thatcher government files will be hit by a strong sense of deja vu.

Article: Former Alliance and independent councillor Brian Wilson joined the Greens. He was elected in North Down in a significant breakthrough for the party.
The seat was retained by the party in the 2011 assembly elections by Steven Agnew.
Breaking the hold of traditional unionist and nationalist parties in Northern Ireland has been a challenge for non-aligned groups for many years.
In the 2009 European election, the Green Party in Northern Ireland took more than 3% of the vote with Mr Agnew as a candidate, polling 15,764 votes.
This was more than three times the Green Party's previous poll result. However, in the 2014 European election the Green vote fell to 10,598.
It is the only Northern Ireland party that does not accept corporate donations.
The Green Party in Northern Ireland works in co-operation with other Greens across the European Union, and has a close relationship with its counterpart in the Republic of Ireland.
The party has four councillors.

Summary: The Green Party in Northern Ireland first gained a foothold in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2007.

Article: An algorithm processes data captured by 2D and 3D scanners and sensors positioned at the front of a van.
It identifies signs of "ravelling" - damage to the asphalt that leads to cracks and potholes.
Drivers claimed more than £3m compensation for pothole damage in the UK last year, according to the RAC.
The scanner system can distinguish ravelling from other textural differences on the road, such as oil spills, tyre marks and previous pothole repairs.
In a test, the device correctly identified 900 potential sites. It took 0.65 seconds to process the data, the researchers say.
While the technology would be adopted by paving specialists Dynatest, who collaborated on the research project, it would also be open-source, said Dr Senthan Mathavan, lead researcher and visiting fellow at Nottingham Trent University.
The sensors used on the device were the same as those developed to help robots perceive their environment, he said.
"These sensors are common to us and to civil engineers," he said.
"The technology is established, but we're using the data to look for much smaller defects."
Fellow researcher Dr Mujib Rahman added: "Dealing with road-surface damage like potholes in the early stages is cheaper in the long-term than reacting to potholes when they occur.
"This technology will also allow councils to plan ahead better and be more efficient with any programme of repairs.
"If councils know that there's likely to be a pothole in a certain part of a road in say three years' time, they can plan the repair before it gets to the point that an emergency repair is needed."
The research has been published in the journal Transportation Research Record.

Summary: Smart scanners that can identify the sites of potholes before they form are being developed by academics at Nottingham Trent University.

Article: The motoring organisation also called for extra funding for road repairs in the chancellor's Budget next week.
The Local Government Association (LGA) said there was a £12bn backlog in road repairs that would take councils "more than a decade" to clear.
The UK government said it was providing "unprecedented levels of investment".
In an AA survey of 25,208 drivers, 39% said their tyres, bodywork or other parts of their vehicles had been affected after hitting a pothole in the past two years.
AA president Edmund King called on local authorities to "get to grips with fundamental road maintenance" such as poor drainage and crumbling surfaces.
He also said Chancellor George Osborne should allocate extra funding for road repairs to "reverse the toll on vehicles and their owners' pockets".
LGA transport spokesman Peter Box said current funding levels and the repairs backlog meant councils "can only keep pace with patching up our roads and filling potholes".
"Long-term and consistent investment in local road maintenance is desperately needed," he added.
Road maintenance is devolved to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said the government had allocated a "record £6bn to councils in England to improve local roads over the next five years".
"We topped this up with £250m last year specifically to tackle the blight of potholes," he said.
A Scottish Government spokesman said in the last financial year more than £220m was allocated for the maintenance of motorways and trunk roads, which it said was 20% more than five years ago.
The Welsh and Northern Irish authorities have been approached for comment.

Article: Legalisation on same-sex unions falls under state legislation, and a number of states have divergent rules.
Mexico City and the southern state of Quintana Roo allow gay marriages, while Coahuila allows same-sex civil unions.
Congress in Yucatan on the other hand banned same-sex marriage in 2009.
Seven out of ten authorities in Colima approved the constitutional change, which had been passed by the state's congress earlier this month.
Only two Congressmen voted against the change, arguing the state should legalise gay marriages rather than restricting same-sex couples to civil unions.
News of the change in the law in Colima came on the same day as Pope Francis told reporters that gay people should not be marginalised but integrated into society.
Speaking to reporters on a flight back from Brazil, the Pope reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's position that homosexual acts were sinful, but homosexual orientation was not.
Gay marriage was legalised in Uruguay earlier this year, and in Argentina in 2010.
In Brazil, the Supreme Court in May voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals, effectively authorising gay marriage.
However, full legalisation of gay marriage in Brazil still depends on the passage of a law in Congress.

Summary: Colima has become the latest Mexican state to allow same-sex couples to enter into civil unions after a majority of local authorities passed a change in the state's constitution.

Article: On Monday Chinese papers continued their admonishments, warning Ms Tsai and her DPP party against any move towards independence.
China sees the island as a breakaway province, which it has threatened to take back by force if necessary.
Before her win Ms Tsai said she wanted to maintain the "status quo".
But some analysts say her rhetoric has hardened somewhat in the wake of her victory,  when she said that "any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations".
Her pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party beat the ruling Kuomintang, which has overseen friendlier and ever-closer ties with China on Saturday.
Two days later, on Monday, Ms Tsai met former US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, and vowed to maintain close relations with the US in all areas, particularly the economy.
One report from the  Reuters agency said that DPP Secretary General Joseph Wu would be going to the US.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also congratulated Ms Tsai on her victory, calling Taiwan "an old friend".
She has already set up a taskforce to oversee the transfer of power, Taiwan's third transition of power in its democratic history.
Chinese state media lashed out swiftly in the wake of the victory, saying that Taiwan should abandon its "hallucination" of independence.
On Monday, a Global Times report said it wasn't Ms Tsai's pro-independence views that won her the vote but the "dissatisfactory performance of the incumbent Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou and his ruling KMT".
"I will, based on the existing ROC constitutional system, based on democratic principles, on the basis of the largest public opinion, promote cross-strait policy.
"I will make the greatest efforts to seek a way for Taiwan and mainland China to interact that is mutually acceptable to both sides.  I will not be provocative, there will not be any surprises."
"I also want to emphasise that both sides of the strait have a responsibility to find mutually acceptable means of interaction that are based on dignity and reciprocity. We must...

Article: The virtual currency reached $3,451.86 (£2,651) per coin in Monday trade, according to the Coindesk Bitcoin Price Index.
It had never crossed the $3,000 mark until the weekend. The market value of all bitcoins in existence has now surpassed $56bn (£43bn).
The surge followed the creation of a spin-off crypto-currency, Bitcoin Cash, last week.
The new asset is trading well below the peak price of $727.54 (£557) per coin it attained on 2 August.
However, Bitcoin Cash's future does appear to be more assured after Coinbase, one of the leading exchange and wallet services, promised to support it after previously refusing to give such a commitment.
"We are planning to have support for Bitcoin Cash by 1 January 2018, assuming no additional risks emerge during that time," it announced on its blog.
The value of the original Bitcoin experienced big swings in July. First there was concern that there might be a "civil war" over rival plans to speed up transactions.
That helped cause its value to dip to $1,938.94 (£1,485) on 16 July before a compromise scheme called Segwit2x gained favour.
Then a fresh plan to fork the currency emerged from a group of insiders unhappy with the Segwit2x initiative.
On 1 August, they offered investors a Bitcoin Cash token to match every original Bitcoin token they owned. The move created an incompatible version of the blockchain ledger, which keeps track of past transactions.
The initiative had the potential to undermine the original Bitcoin, particularly if many miners had jumped ship. Miners provide the computer processing power to authorise transactions, and Bitcoin Cash was designed to appeal to their interests.
However, it currently remains more profitable to mine the original Bitcoin's blockchain than that of Bitcoin Cash, and support for the new crypto-currency remains limited.
"What this has shown is that Bitcoin is much more resilient to forks than some people thought," commented Michael Parsons, a blockchain adviser.
"And it appears that there is room for more than one type of...

Article: More than 700,000 employees face unpaid leave due to the shutdown which was triggered after the two houses of Congress did not agree on a new budget.
Hyundai said affected employees who currently own its vehicles will be given a payment relief "for as long as they are out of work".
Employees looking to buy a new car will be given a 90-day payment deferral.
"We recognize the impact on family budgets that the furlough will drive," John Krafcik, chief executive of Hyundai Motor America, said in a statement.
Hyundai had offered a similar scheme, the Hyundai Assurance programme, during the peak of the global financial crisis four years ago to help consumers who had lost their jobs.
Many analysts have said that the move had helped the South Korean firm win customer loyalty and boosted its sales in recent years.
The company said that its latest offer to help the federal employees was an addition to that programme and aimed at "helping workers at a time when they most need it".
"Like we did almost four years ago when we launched Hyundai Assurance, this is our way of saying 'We've got your back' during this uncertain time," Mr Krafcik said.
Under the latest offer, Hyundai will extend all auto loan and lease payments during the shutdown for current Hyundai owners who are put on unpaid leave.
The programme is available to all customers who have financed their purchase or lease through Hyundai Finance America.

Article: Mr Obama, the first black US president, said ensuring economic opportunity was "our great unfinished business".
He also linked his own rise to the White House with the efforts of the civil rights protesters decades ago.
Members of Martin Luther King's family and veterans of the march also spoke.
Mr Obama gave his address at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington DC almost 50 years to the minute after Martin Luther King Jr culminated the march with his celebrated I Have a Dream speech
The time - 15:00 local time (19:00 GMT) - was marked by ringing bells.
Mr Obama began by honouring King, as well as the many African-American and white marchers who descended on Washington to protest for equal rights for black citizens 50 years ago.
"They assembled here, in our nation's capital, under the shadow of the great emancipator, to offer testimony of injustice, to petition their government for redress and to awaken America's long-slumbering conscience," Mr Obama said.
"Because they marched, city councils changed and state legislators changed and Congress changed, and yes, eventually the White House changed," Mr Obama said to great cheers. "Because they marched, America became more free and fair."
He praised "those maids, those labourers, those porters, those secretaries" who had transformed the US into the nation "our children now take for granted", in which individuals of different races mix freely in public and private life.
"To dismiss the magnitude of this progress," he said, "to suggest, as some sometimes do, that little has changed - that dishonours the courage and the sacrifice of those who paid the price to march in those years."
But Mr Obama argued "the very significance of these victories may have obscured a second goal of the march" - jobs and the promise of equal economic opportunity.
"They were there seeking jobs as well as justice," he said.
"We must remind ourselves that the measure of progress for those who marched 50 years ago was not merely how many blacks had joined the ranks of...

Article: The Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales has increased their basic salary by £100 to £13,400, the equivalent of approximately 0.75%, from May 2017.
The UK's rate of inflation is 1.6% and the panel said the small increase is because of the "continuing constraints on local government spending".
Councils have warned of budget shortfalls despite an increase in central funding from Welsh Government.
The annual report said the panel had originally decided the basic salary payment would be aligned with the median gross earnings of all full-time employees resident in Wales, as reported in the Annual Survey of Hourly Earnings (ASHE).
It added: "Given the pressures on public expenditure it was not possible for this alignment to be maintained. If this alignment had continued the basic salary would currently be in the region of £14,700."

Summary: Councillors in Wales have been awarded a "modest" pay rise.

Article: It uses an "emotional engine" and a cloud-based artificial intelligence system that allows it to analyse gestures, expressions and voice tones.
The firm said people could communicate with it "just like they would with friends and family" and it could perform various tasks.
It will go on sale to the public next year for 198,000 yen ($1,930; Â£1,150).
"People describe others as being robots because they have no emotions, no heart," Masayoshi Son, chief executive of Softbank, said at a press conference.
"For the first time in human history, we're giving a robot a heart, emotions."
The firm will deploy prototypes of the robot at two of its stores from Friday, allowing customers to interact with them.
Softbank said it planned to subsequently station Pepper at more of its stores nationwide.
Japan is one of the world's biggest robot markets.
According to some estimates, its overall robotics market was worth about 860bn ($8.4bn; Â£5bn) yen in 2012.
And with a rapidly ageing population, coupled with a falling birth rate, the demand for robots is expected to increase further.
The growth is expected to come not only from businesses looking to offset labour shortages and rising wage costs, but also from households seeking an alternative to paying for care workers for elderly relatives.
Japanese carmaker Honda has also been developing a household robot, Asimo. US President Barack Obama played football with it during his recent visit to Japan.
ActiveLink, a robotics research subsidiary of electronics firm Panasonic has also developed technology to help people carry out manual tasks.
Analysts said that development of household robots was likely to pick up, especially in countries like Japan that have an ageing population.
"Even if one can pre-programme such robots to carry out specific tasks based on certain commands or gestures, it could go long way in helping improve elderly care," said Rhenu Bhuller, senior vice president healthcare at consulting firm Frost & Sullivan.

Article: Joseph McHale, 38, Kevin Schruyers, 42, and Robin Vaughan, 43, all from Liverpool, were part of a gang who targeted ATMs.
The gang struck in the early hours of the morning at machines in Stonehaven, Inverurie, Aberdeen, New Deer and Ellon between August and November 2013.
Sentence was deferred.
They used oxygen and acetylene to get to the safes behind the ATMs.
At the High Court in Glasgow, McHale and Schruyers were convicted of blowing up the cash machine at Scotmid in North Deeside Road, Bieldside, Aberdeen and stealing £112,000.
They were also found guilty of blowing up an ATM at the Royal Bank of Scotland in New Deer and stealing £21,020.
The pair were also convicted of blowing up four ATMs in Ellon, Stonehaven, Inverurie and Aberdeen and attempting to steal from them, and stealing a quantity of clothing, golf equipment and money from the golf professional shop at the Paul Lawrie Centre in Aberdeenshire.
The duo were also found guilty of attempting to break into a cash machine in Mintlaw by using a crowbar.
Vaughan admitted blowing up the ATM in New Deer and Bieldside. He also admitted trying to force open the ATM in Mintlaw using a crowbar.
The focus of the investigation led to Liverpool after a number of Scottish banknotes started to circulate in the Mersey area.
Many of these notes had edges cut off in a bid to remove the signs of dye which went on to them.
Others had some red dye on them even though the gang had tried to remove all traces of it.
The court heard they duped Francis Clark - brother of actress and model Sophie Kennedy Clark and grandson of singer Calum Kennedy - into providing them with a hideaway after a meeting at a party.
The court heard that Mr Clark was originally a suspect in the case, but appeared during the trial as a witness.

Article: By 2020 every home should have a digital meter, which communicates directly with energy suppliers and can allow more efficient energy usage.
Smart Energy GB said government was "not good" at such projects and warned it it could cost more than the budgeted Â£11bn without private sector input.
The government has rejected the call.
The last Labour government announced plans in 2009 for every home in Britain to be installed with smart meters, which the government and energy firms believe could lead to savings of an estimated Â£17bn.
But Smart Energy GB fears that with 1.6 million of the proposed 26 million smart meters currently installed, the timetable could slip and end up costing consumers more than the budgeted Â£11bn.
Baroness Margaret McDonagh, the chairman of Smart Energy GB, said that the installation of smart meters throughout the UK was a giant infrastructure project, and was similar in scope to the building of the HS2 rail line and the Olympic venues.
"As we know from experience, governments are not good at big infrastructure projects because it's not their business," she said.
"To do these things well, you need to be doing them all the time. When a body can focus on these things with a date in mind - like the Olympic delivery - they can achieve it on time and on budget."
She is calling for the government to appoint a chief executive from the private sector to run the project.
But the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has rejected the idea.
"Last year, an independent review on the smart meters programme backed the current delivery model, which is going to deliver the benefits of smart meters at the lowest possible cost to billpayers," said a spokesperson for the DECC.
It is hoped that smart meters will encourage consumers to be more selective on how they use energy by choosing, for example, to run the washing machine at a time when electricity charges are lower.
In the near future this will be even easier as the "internet of things" takes hold.  This means new devices will come onto the...

Article: Robinson, 48, had been in charge of the club since 2006, winning two County Championship titles and four one-day trophies during his spell in Hove.
South Africa-born Davis, 44, spent five years playing for Sussex before joining the coaching staff in 2005.
"I'm very excited and honoured to be taking over," he said.
Robinson has previously spent time coaching England Lions and says leaving Sussex, with whom he ended his playing career, "is going to be a wrench".
He will join England women next month ahead of their tour to South Africa in early 2016.
"I'm obviously hugely excited about my new opportunity, but it goes hand in hand with a lot of sadness too," said Robinson.
"The club and the supporters will always have a special place in my heart and I wish the club stability and every success for the future."
Sussex were relegated from Division One of the County Championship last season, dropping into the second tier of first-class cricket for the first time since 2010, and the club appointed Luke Wright as their new captain last month.
Davis, who took 188 wickets and scored over 2,000 runs for Sussex between 2001 and 2005, is looking forward to "exciting challenges ahead".
"I'd like to thank Mark for everything and wish him well for his future role," he said.
"We will be working hard to continue with the values that Sussex stands for and to ensure that the county competes at the forefront of English cricket.
"We have a fantastic squad which has a good mix of youth and experience."

Summary: Sussex have appointed Mark Davis as their new head coach after cricket manager Mark Robinson left the club to become head coach of England women.

Article: Wales has 735 of the councils handling over Â£43m of public money but only an estimated 30% received qualified audit opinions on their last accounts.
The warning comes as community councils are being asked to take on more services by cash-strapped county councils.
The auditor has had to warn some councils for "serious weaknesses."
"The accountability and scrutiny that comes with the use of public money is growing ever tighter," said Huw Vaughan Thomas, the Auditor General for Wales.
"Community councils are responsible for over Â£43m worth of funds and are likely to be devolved more responsibilities."
Community councils represent the first tier of local government in Wales, and are equivalent to parish councils in England.
They can hold the purse strings for local community buildings, parks, cemeteries, allotments and toilets.
The auditor's report suggested councils should:
The auditor's fifth annual report tells councils they are to implement a financial code of conduct and sets out what councils must to be compliant with regulations.
"I would urge them to undertake an investigation into their current practice to ensure they are compliant with their legal requirements before the 2016-17 audit reviews," added Mr Thomas.
"It is worrying to see that a number of councils have qualified opinions which are easily avoidable."
Nick Ramsay, chairman of the assembly's public accounts committee, said: "It is essential that these councils have robust and effective arrangements in place for financial management and governance.
"While many councils have good arrangements in place, the Auditor General's report shows that there is still much work to do to raise standards of financial management and governance across the sector."

Summary: Community councils have been urged to improve their financial management by the Auditor General for Wales.

Article: The England centre, 24, whose deal at Welford Road runs out next summer, is attracting interest from several sides.
"We are having some very positive discussions with Manu and and we are very positive about him staying here," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"Manu is world class. Clearly people are trying to lure him to smaller clubs by offering him huge amounts of money."
Reports had suggested Tuilagi had been offered £1.6 million over three years by Worcester Warriors, although Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan said on Wednesday there was no truth in the claims.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young also said his club have made no move for the England centre, but Saracens, Bristol and Toulouse are also thought to be interested.
Samoa-born Tuilagi, who joined Leicester as a youngster and has since won 25 caps for England, has been offered a new deal by the Tigers.
"I didn't think other clubs were allowed to speak with him until 1 January, so that surprises me," Cockerill added.
"Manu is a sensible lad and I am sure we will come to a sensible conclusion and all indications are that it's the case.
"I am confident that Manu will stay. He has a lot of rugby left in him.
"He is a good lad. We have looked after him very well and we are confident he will stay a Leicester player."

The maker of the EpiPen will start selling a generic version in the wake of criticism about steep price increases.

Article: The proposals are contained in a public consultation jointly published by the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) and the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland.
However, the consultation has been criticised by the Northern Ireland's biggest public sector union, Nipsa.
It claimed it was an uncosted bid to "save money and dress it up as reform".
Nipsa official Dooley Harte said: "This document provides no options but rather is a blatant attempt by the Northern Ireland Office and the chief electoral officer to lead the Northern Ireland public right up the path to a worse service that we could end up paying for."
He added that the consultation "provides no financial information on what it costs to run the current offices, how much it will cost to devolve functions to councils, what services will be lost or reduced".
Mr Harte further claimed that there has been no proper engagement with councils "to get their agreement to devolution".
However, Northern Ireland Minister Kris Hopkins said: "I have seen first-hand how councils can play an important role in the delivery of elections, maintaining a vital local link to the wider democratic process.
"I am pleased therefore that this consultation seeks views on giving them an enhanced role."
The Northern Ireland consultation process is due to end in January. The Electoral Office have said they are hopeful the system will be running by 2017.
In Great Britain, 90% of voter registrations are now made online.
Mr Hopkins added: "Digital registration will bring Northern Ireland into step with the rest of the UK and promises to make registering to vote more straightforward."
Legislation to introduce electronic registration is due be presented to parliament next month.
Nipsa has called on the public to "fight for the retention of the current regional electoral offices".

Summary: Plans have been announced to allow Northern Ireland voters to register electronically and to give councils more involvement in running elections.

Ocean has a right to be pleased with how far he has come.
Five years earlier, the 18-year-old Ocean had moved to Los Angeles from his native New Orleans and was struggling to make music while processing insurance claims. "I hated it," he says.
But he would soon begin to make his name as a songwriter, co-writing tracks for Justin Bieber and John Legend, before joining the sprawling hip-hop collective Odd Future.
He signed a solo record deal but, frustrated with being left to languish in the major label system, decided to post his debut album Nostalgia, Ultra online for free last February.
Despite a lack of conventional promotion, fans soon cottoned on and the praise gathered pace.
Before long, he was on the plane to record vocals for two tracks on Jay-Z and Kanye West's heavyweight collaboration Watch The Throne.
He was also called upon to co-write a track for Beyonce's latest album 4, while his LP was ranked among the best of 2011 by a number of critics.
The Guardian, placing Nostalgia, Ultra third on its list of the best of albums of 2011, enthused about the "artistic vision that was his and his alone".
Los Angeles Times pop critic Randall Roberts compared Ocean to Kanye West and Drake, adding that he "one-ups them with more wit and better narratives".
What would his 18-year-old self make of it all? "I think he'd be pretty stoked about it," Ocean replies. "I've been working towards these moments for a considerable amount of time."

The scheme will also be rolled out in Tyne and Wear, Merseyside, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire as well as Nottingham, Leicester and Bristol, according to transport chiefs.
Oyster cards launched in 2003 in London, where buses are now cashless.
In the West Midlands, nearly 30 operators are already part of the Swift smart multi-operating ticketing scheme.
Greater Manchester is rolling out its "get me there" travel card across its Metrolink trams.
The bus initiative involves the Stagecoach, First, Arriva, Go Ahead and National Express companies.
In a joint statement, the chief executives of the companies involved said the move would deliver a "wider benefit than the capital's Oyster system".
They said: "Millions of people in our biggest city regions will benefit from this transformational initiative to provide London-style smart ticketing.
"Bus operators share the aspirations of our city regions to become growing economic powerhouses and we know high quality public transport is an important part of making that happen."

Article: Mylan said it expected to start selling a cheaper generic product "in several weeks" at a list price of $300 (Â£230).
That is about half the list price of the existing product, which is used in emergencies for severe food and insect allergies.
The cost of EpiPens in the US has risen by 500% in less than a decade.
Mylan said the generic version would be identical to the branded EpiPen, which costs $600 for two doses.
Allergy sufferers often have several pens - one to keep at home, as well as others at school or work, or in the car. They also expire after 12 months.
Mylan chief executive Heather Bresch said the company had spent hundreds of millions of dollars improving the product since buying the product from Merck in 2007.
"Our decision to launch a generic alternative to EpiPen is an extraordinary commercial response," she said. "We determined that bypassing the brand system in this case and offering an additional alternative was the best option."
The move is unusual because the branded version is still under patent and other rival treatments have failed to get regulatory clearance. The product generates annual sales of $1bn for Mylan.
Bernstein analyst Ronny Gal said: "We suspect Mylan will continue to receive some heat for its price increases and there will be heightened pressure on FDA [regulator the Food and Drug Administration] to bring competition to the market."
Ms Bresch also blamed the complex US health care system for the price rises and said that Mylan took just $274 of the $600 list price, while insurers, pharmacies and other parties shared the rest.
How much individuals pay for an EpiPen prescription can depend on their insurance coverage.
Politicians and parents have challenged the price hikes, with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton calling them "outrageous" and unjustified.
The outcry over EpiPen price rises sent Mylan shares falling about 12% last week. The stock was flat at $43.04 in afternoon trading in New York.

Article: The one-tonne, Â£2,000 animal was lost for 48 hours in the storm drain on peatland near Ben Aketil Wind Farm on the Isle of Skye.
The bull vanished from the place it was kept last Friday before being found on Sunday.
Firefighters and local crofters took 20 minutes to free the animal, which was hungry but unharmed.
Fifteen people were involved in the operation with firefighters from Portree, Broadford and Dunvegan involved.
Broadford firefighter Martin Benson said: "The bull had been stuck for a considerable amount of time and had lost a lot of weight.
"We cut the peat bank as best we could around the bull which was about three feet below ground level - and stuck at either side when we arrived.
"Eventually we managed to carve out some room for the bull to wriggle itself free."
He added: "The first thing the animal did was shake itself down and go for something to eat.
"In such a remote, agricultural area these rescues are sometimes necessary - and it's nice to have a happy outcome."
Crofter Ian Duncan last saw the animal on Friday morning and began to worry on Saturday afternoon.
He said: "He disappeared on the Friday while searching for cows.
"It's not uncommon for a bull to go missing in such a large area but this bull had never gone missing for such a time before.
"When we found the animal I was surprised at how far he'd travelled.
"I called the fire service right away and they did a magnificent job of digging him out."
He added: "He's been eating a lot more - but apart from that he's looking okay."

Article: One side relied on the conventional wisdom, coined by Bill Clinton's campaign brain, James Carville, "It's the economy, stupid."
But as one of Vote Leave's brains has revealed at length this week, they had something else - a new and powerful way of using technology to find and mobilise their support that helped them overturn the traditional political rules.
In 2016, maybe it's the data, stupid.
In the early days of the campaign, members of the Vote Leave team told me they hoped to find a way of mashing the mountain of data that we generate in daily life online with more normal ways of measuring political support.
Their dream was of a system that could put information from Twitter, canvassing, polls, websites, apps, into one giant IT programme that would then churn out extremely sophisticated models that would reveal the areas most likely to vote Leave, down to the street.
And to create models that could test the messages they were going to use, again and again and again, in a more detailed, more effective way than had ever been done before.
Of course there were already sophisticated ways of using technology to monitor political mood and moves, and to target voters. But Vote Leave's hope was for something quite different, and much more bold.
Essentially, from day one, as Dominic Cummings, Vote Leave's director, has written: "One of our central ideas was that the campaign had to do things in the field of data that have never been done before."
In the last few years, the amount of information that's publicly available about what voters are feeling and thinking at any moment has multiplied beyond all expectations.
If knowledge is power, developing ways of grabbing and using that information was a huge prize.
The software didn't exist, so Vote Leave decided to build it themselves. They hired physicists, data experts and digital specialists and they succeeded.
Knowing the potential of the programme, they kept it under wraps. The project was even clandestine enough to be hidden from some of the MPs involved in the...

Article: All too often here, when the land is baked dry, the winds can strip away an inch of precious topsoil in as little as 24 hours, soil that has taken centuries to form.
In the course of the most arid years, each acre of farmland can lose up to 70 tons of soil and then, wherever the dust is dumped, it can smother the crops it lands on.
In the Oklahoma Panhandle, the most remote area of the state, recent rainfall has been so meagre that fears have been kindled of a return to the apocalyptic "Dust Bowl" scenes of the 1930s.
Back then, agriculture collapsed and thousands of people left.
A survivor of the 1930s, 101-year-old Millard Fowler, who recalls sheltering from the "rolling black clouds" of the Dust Bowl, has seen similar conditions this year.
"Somebody asked me the other day if dust storms would happen again and I said 'they already have' - we've had some pretty good dust storms this spring," he said.
One of the worst was filmed by a local woman, LeLayne Tapp, and the video showed dust engulfing the community of Boise City, turning the sunlight orange and making roads impassable.
A farmer, JB Stewart, surveying one of his ruined wheat fields, told me that he had seen many droughts in his lifetime but the current one was "insane" because it has lasted so long.
"I've seen droughts over 50 years but nothing as devastating as what we've had in the last two to three years - I've never heard of anything like what we've had," he said.
His son Jarod, the fifth generation of the family to farm this land, said: "We've lost the crop and we've now got to figure out how to stop the soil from blowing.
"I'd compare it to the death of a loved one - you nurture this crop and invest in it and then you watch that crop die, it's devastating."
Across many parts of the state, the drought is acknowledged to have started three-and-a-half years ago with between 30-50 inches less rainfall than on average over that time.
Gary McManus, the Oklahoma State Climatologist, told the BBC: "The drought right now is the worst in decades...

Article: John Porter's brother Mike, 66, died at the scene after the men were knocked to the ground by cows in Wiltshire.
After an inquest jury returned a verdict of accidental death, he said he hoped more could be done to prevent a further tragedy.
The jury noted that there had been previous attacks in the same fields.
And jurors noted a lack of separation between cattle and public, in a narrative accompanying their verdict.
Mr Porter, 74, from Monkton Combe, near Bath, told the BBC: "Accidents will always happen, sadly. But I do think that we do need to look at ways in which we can make our footpaths safer."
His brother was visiting from Edinburgh in May 2013 when they walked dogs on leads across a public footpath through Elbow Field, Turleigh. They were knocked to the ground by two cows and stamped on. Mike died at the scene of internal bleeding.
The inquest heard that Simon Dark, Bleddyn Griffiths and David Billington had also suffered injuries after being trampled in the fields in 2008 and 2011 - although it was not possible to say whether the same cows were involved.
The farmer Brian Godwin, 81, had been visited by the Health and Safety Executive after Mr Billington was injured. He had put in place some safety measures, including signs and some electric fencing. He has since sold the cattle and is trying to establish a new herd.
The lawyers representing Mike Porter's partner Adrienne Sillar and their two sons said there was a "clear issue" about whether Elbow Field should remain a public right of way and "whether cows should share the enclosure".

Article: Some infections are becoming almost impossible to treat, because of the excessive use of antibiotics.
And more than half of those used around the world are used in animals, often to make them grow more quickly.
The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance called for new targets on the amount of antibiotics used.
The great threat of excessive antibiotics use in agriculture was highlighted in China last month.
Scientists warned the world was on the cusp of the "post-antibiotic era" after discovering bacteria resistant to the antibiotic colistin - the medication used when all others have failed.
It appeared to develop in farm animals before also being detected in hospital patients.
In some cases, antibiotics are used in agriculture to treat infections - but most are used prophylactically in healthy animals to prevent infection or, controversially, as a way of boosting weight gain.
Using antibiotics as growth promoters was banned in the EU in 2006.
Such uses are more common in intensive farming conditions.
Based on current rates, the global consumption of antibiotics is expected to increase by 67% by 2030.
In the US alone, every year, 3,400 tonnes of antibiotics are used on patients, while 8,900 tonnes are used on animals.
The economist who led the review, Jim O'Neill, said such figures were simply "staggering" and 10 million people would die each year from drug-resistant infections by 2050.
He said a reasonable target for agricultural antibiotic use would be 50mg for every 1kg of livestock - a level already achieved by one of the world's biggest pork exporters, Denmark.
The UK uses just over 50mg/kg, the US uses nearly 200mg/kg, while Cyprus uses more than 400mg/kg.
Mr O'Neill told the BBC: "I'm sure many farmers will immediately think, 'Well, if we have to do this, that means the price goes up and I'll go out of business'.
"The Danish example shows that, after a very initial transition cost, actually over the long term prices weren't affected and Denmark has continued to maintain its market share."

Article: This is because the 58-year-old collects elephant dung that he turns into high quality paper. And for a continuing supply of dung, he very much wants Kenya's elephants to remain alive and well.
While some people might be a bit sniffy about the thought of elephant droppings being turned into paper, it is in fact a small but growing industry in the East African country, with 17 firms now involved, according to official government figures.
"If you ask me 'is paper from elephant dung of reasonable quality?', the answer is a big yes," says Mr Matano, whose business Nampath Paper employs 42 people, and makes an annual profit of 2.3m Kenyan shillings ($23,000; Â£15,700).
Kenya's elephant dung paper industry is centred on the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary, a community-owned 36 sq km (14 sq mile) conservation area for elephants, 28 miles (45km) south west of the coastal city of Mombasa.
Making the paper started as a pilot project in 1994, before commercialisation began a decade later when local farmers such as Mr Matano set up their own paper-making businesses.
The sanctuary itself was established in 1993 both to help elephants, but also to assist 200 or so local farmers.
The farmers had for generations had to put up with elephants from the nearby government-owned Shimba Hills National Reserve walking into their farmlands and eating or destroying crops. This resulted in serious and sometimes deadly conflicts between humans and elephants.
So the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary was established adjacent to the national reserve, with financial assistance and support from the United States Agency for International Development, and UK animal charity Born Free Foundation.
The idea was that the surrounding farmers would receive a share of the tourism revenues from the sanctuary to make up for any crops that are destroyed by elephants. The farmers also ceded part of their lands to create a migratory elephant corridor between the Shimba Hills National Reserve, and the Tsavo West and Tsavo East national parks some 100km to the...

Summary: While elephant poachers are only interested in the animals' tusks, for Kenyan entrepreneur John Matano it is all about what comes out of the other end of the world's largest land mammal.

Article: It is just the latest in a flurry of decisions made by President Trump in his first few days in office.
He signed the order in front of a group of business people, saying it was aimed at "cutting regulations massively for small business".
It was the "biggest such act that our country has ever seen," he added.
Speaking in the Oval Office, he said he wanted to tell small business owners that the "American dream is back'' and that he would "create an environment for small business,'' by ending or limiting existing regulations.
The president went on to say that a large proportion of the American workforce was employed by these firms, therefore: "We want to make life easier for these small business owners.''
Despite the president's emphasis on small businesses, the wording of the order does not mention them specifically, so the order will affect businesses of all sizes.
What is an executive order?
US diplomats 'to criticise immigrant ban'
Trump's first week: Well, that was intense
Described as a "two-out, one-in" approach, the latest executive order asked government departments to request a new regulation and to specify two other regulations which they will drop.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will manage the regulations and is expected to be led by the Republican Mick Mulvaney.
Some categories of regulation will be exempt from the "two-out, one-in" clause - such as those dealing with the military and national security and "any other category of regulations exempted by the director".
The executive order says the cost of planned regulations must be "prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process" and that it shall be up to the director to define how the costs are measured and "what qualifies as new and offsetting regulations".
Todd McCracken from the National Small Business Association told the BBC that there was "a lot left to understand about the executive order" and that "this really is a case where the devil is in the detail".
He said they would be focused on making sure that small...

Article: Kieran McGrath, 26, was shot after leaving the Sheldon Arms pub in Ashton-under-Lyne on 4 October 2014. He drove to a police station but died later.
The man who orchestrated his killing, Anthony Henry, 32, was found guilty of murder on Friday.
Troy Beckford, 24, and Jace Smith, 31, were convicted after a trial at Liverpool Crown Court.
The jury was unable to agree in the case of two other men, Remi Adams, 34 and Scott Chapman, 27, also charged with murder.
Mr Adams was found not guilty of possessing ammunition without a certificate.
A woman, Bretony Gallimore, 24, was found guilty of assisting an offender.
The gun used to kill Mr McGrath was the same gun used to kill Manchester shopkeeper Pragaret Singh three weeks later. Police believe the firearm was passed between criminals.
Mr McGrath was shot after leaving the pub at about 22:25 BST.
Anthony Henry had tracked Mr McGrath's Audi S3 and watched his movements on an iPad, the trial heard.
After being shot, the 26-year-old drove away from the scene to a nearby police station but died after collapsing near the front door.
He died from a single gunshot wound, a post-mortem examination found.
No witnesses to the attack have come forward.

Article: The original ruling, made by the Belgian Privacy Commissioner (BPC) in November, relates to Facebook cookies that track the activity of non-users.
The company expects to receive an order this week, which it will contest.
But in the meantime, cookies will not be set for non-users and accounts will be needed to access content.
Cookies are text files, and some record the web activity of users. The one in question, which Facebook has named datr, can live in a web user's browser for two years.
Facebook has argued that the cookie provides better security for the site's members by preventing the creation of fake accounts, reducing the risk of accounts being hijacked, protecting users' content against theft and deterring denial-of-service attacks.
"We had hoped to address the BPC's concerns in a way that allowed us to continue using a security cookie that protected Belgian people from more than 33,000 takeover attempts in the past month," said a Facebook spokeswoman.
"We're disappointed we were unable to reach an agreement and now people will be required to log in or register for an account to see publicly available content on Facebook."
In a letter on Tuesday, the company told the BPC it would comply "fully" with the order as soon as it was received.
As well as blocking access to pages for non-users, datr cookies will no longer be set for non-users and existing cookies for such individuals will be deleted where possible.
Facebook also says it will implement cookies for users who are logged in to protect against certain attacks on its network.
"We continue to have significant concerns that requirements set forth during these proceedings in respect of cookie practices have not been applied fairly and equitably within Belgium to other internet services, as demonstrated in the reports we have submitted in the past," commented Facebook in the letter.

Article: The spectrum, formerly used by the Ministry of Defence, will provide 4G services for mobile companies.
The communications watchdog has suggested that a 42% share could be the largest one mobile company could own.
BT, which includes mobile network EE, currently owns 45%. Vodafone owns 28%, Three 15% and O2 12%.
These figures, provided by Ofcom, account for the existing spectrum available for "immediate use". The addition of the extra spectrum would bring BT/EE's share down to 42%, it said.
Firms have until 30 January 2017 to respond to the proposals.
However there is no suggestion that the cap could be extended to a different bandwidth of spectrum set aside to handle 5G when it launches in the UK, Ofcom added.
That comprises around 75% of the spectrum to be auctioned, it said.
EE chief executive Marc Allera said the firm disagreed with the idea.
"While we don't agree that competition measures should be introduced for this auction, we will now examine Ofcom's detailed proposal carefully and respond to the consultation," he said in a statement.
Three had lobbied for a 30% cap.
"If you've got one or two players in the market that dominate spectrum, then there is always a fear that innovation is slower because you don't have people pushing each other," Three chief executive Dave Dyson told the BBC in September.
Analyst Kester Mann from CCS Insight said the proposals represented "a partial victory" for Three.
"Expect this announcement to be just the start of another round of wrangling and protestation from the UK networks, that could see the award of licences further delayed," he said.
"Any additional hold-up works against Three and O2, which are most in need of new airwaves.
"The auction is crucial to UK providers as it will likely represent the last opportunity to buy mobile spectrum for several years."
Ofcom has not confirmed a date for the auction itself, which the BBC understands is expected to take place next year.
The total reserve price for all the spectrum on offer will be Â£70m ($86m).

Summary: Ofcom has proposed a cap on some of the newly available 4G spectrum it is preparing for auction, which would prevent BT from bidding.

Article: The Newport-based South Wales Argus saw the biggest drop, down 32.2% to an average of daily sale of 13,952 in the second half of 2013.
The figures came from the ABC, the organisation which measures newspaper circulation.
But some Welsh newspapers saw traffic to their websites rise by up to 35% as more people seek their news online.
The ABC figures showed that daily papers produced in Wales all saw sales fall in 2013:
However, some weekly papers saw their sales rise:
Other weekly papers did not fare so well:
The ABC has also published circulation details for smaller Welsh newspapers that only have their circulations audited every 12 months.
They include titles like the Glamorgan Gazette and the other "Celtic" weekly papers, and most of the other local weeklies around Wales.
The only one of these titles to record an increase in circulation was the Caerphilly, Ystrad Mynach & Bargoed Campaign with a 0.6% rise.
However, news websites have seen their users increase during 2013
Alongside its Wales Online and Daily Post websites, Trinity Mirror last year launched digital editions of its Western Mail, Daily Post and Wales on Sunday newspapers aimed at users of tablets and other mobile devices.

Summary: Circulations of all the daily Welsh newspapers have fallen since last year, according to official figures.

Article: The Times reports that doctors in Kiev used a method called pronuclear transfer in what is a world first.
It is not the first baby born with DNA from three parents, however.
The baby girl, born on 5 January, is thought to be the world's second "modern three-parent baby" - another child was created using a slightly different method in Mexico last year.
The Kiev team fertilised the mother's egg with her partner's sperm. They then transferred the combined genes into an egg taken from a donor.
The child has the genetic identity of the parents, alongside a tiny amount of DNA from the second woman.
Doctors developed three-person IVF to help women who are at risk of passing on serious genetic disorders, called mitochondrial disease, to have a healthy child.
Eggs from a mother with unhealthy mitochondria and a donor with healthy mitochondria are collected.
The Nadiya clinic in Kiev used the technique to treat an infertile couple, not a couple carrying a mitochondrial disease.
UK experts said this was "highly experimental".
Valery Zukin, who led the work, said they had a hunch it would work for the Ukrainian couple who had not been able to conceive with conventional IVF.
He said he had a second patient - in a similar situation - who is expected to give birth in early March.
The UK has already passed laws to allow three-person IVF for couples with mitochondrial diseases, although no such baby has been born in Britain yet.
The science is new and controversial and raises ethical questions, including how any child from the technique might feel about having DNA from three people.
Prof Adam Balen, chairman of the British Fertility Society, said: "Pronuclear transfer is highly experimental and has not been properly evaluated or scientifically proven.
"We would be extremely cautious about adopting this approach to improve IVF outcomes."

Article: Mike Hookem, a UKIP MEP and ex-soldier, has urged the monarch to "intervene" on behalf of the 3.8 million people who voted for the party in May's election.
He said the UK's third largest party must be represented at national events.
Ministers said a 30-year old agreement stipulated that only leaders of parties with more than six MPs could take part.
UKIP won almost 12% of the national vote in May but only had one MP elected to Westminster.
Ahead of this Sunday's remembrance service, the party has written to Buckingham Palace appealing for UKIP's non-participation to be reviewed.
In his letter, Mr Hookem wrote: "I write to you as our Queen, asking for you to intervene on the part of over 3.8 million of your people to allow UKIP to have representation at the Cenotaph on 8 November as is right for the third most popular political party in the country."
Mr Hookem, who represents Yorkshire and the Humber in the European Parliament, has also demanded an explanation from Culture Secretary John Whittingdale, whose department is responsible for co-ordinating the invitations to the ceremony, as to why party leader Nigel Farage has not been asked to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph.
"It seems convenient the government can so easily dismiss the largest group of UK MEPs when it comes to including us in national events," he said.
In reply, Mr Whittingdale wrote: "The laying of wreaths by Parliamentary leaders is governed by a formula put in place in 1984 with the agreement of The Queen and the Speaker of the House of Commons following discussion with party leaders based on the number of Westminster parliamentary seats.
"This stipulates that only the leaders at Westminster of parties which had won and taken up six or more seats at the preceding general election should lay wreaths."
Under the formula, Plaid Cymru - which has three MPs - and the Green Party, which has a sole MP, are also excluded.
Mr Hookem, who served in both the RAF and the Army before being elected as an MEP, told the BBC he was unsatisfied with the...

Article: Newspapers have reappeared after the CGT union stopped the presses of all but the pro-communist L'Humanite yesterday, when they refused to run an opinion piece by CGT leader Philippe Martinez.
France's best-selling daily, Ouest-France, asks: "What is the answer, after eight days of protests?".
Like many papers, it sees the government and unions locked in an "arm-wrestling match", with few signs of avoiding the "great day of national protest in Paris on 14 June", the day after the bill goes before the Senate.
The headline in left-leaning Le Monde says the government is "seeking a way out of the Labour Law crisis".
It runs articles for and against the strikes on its opinion pages, with sociologist Daniele Linhart seeing the strikes as a "rejection of the managerial concept of labour... that depresses wages".
On the other hand, Raymond Soubie, an aide to conservative former President Nicolas Sarkozy, says the strike is no more than "weak social agitation", accusing the CGT union of "concentrating its action in sectors where it is strong, to give the illusion of breadth".
Le Monde's reporter Jean-Baptiste de Montvalon thinks the government has already lost the battle for public opinion, marshalling the results of several polls suggesting that a clear majority of voters blame the government for provoking the strike.
He acknowledges that low rates of union membership have left the CGT weak, but the government's "record unpopularity and divisions", and the way it has handled the labour law, leave it "little hope for recovery".
The conservative daily Le Figaro highlights "anxiety" in the governing Socialist Party over Prime Minister Manuel Valls' "intransigence"
Its front-page editorial criticises a "two-speed France" where public-sector workers lag far behind private employees in their number of working hours. It says the latest report on the topic, commissioned by the prime minister, "has joined the vast graveyard of reports on this waste of public money".
Le Figaro, like many other papers, asks whether the country...

Article: His brother Glyn confirmed the death on Twitter, saying his "big brother and hero" had died in New York City.
Dillon was a prolific artist who began professional work at age 16, drawing for Marvel UK's Hulk magazine.
He was best known for his US collaborations with writer Garth Ennis, creating classic cult comic titles.
In his Twitter profile, Dillon, originally from Luton, describes himself as: "A comic book bloke. Co-creator/Artist of Preacher. Co-founder/Editor of Deadline magazine. Artist on Punisher, Judge Dredd and many others."
He was born in Luton in Bedfordshire in 1962. When he was 16 he embarked on his first professional job, drawing the character Nick Fury for Hulk Weekly.
In the 1980s his career started to take off and he regularly contributed to Doctor Who Magazine, creating the character Abslom Daak.
More work followed and he was on the comic anthology Warrior from its inception in 1982.
He also drew for the British sci-fi and fantasy comic 2000AD, where he was perhaps best-known for his work as an artist on Judge Dredd.
Dillon arrived in the United States in the late 1980s, where some of his most popular strips were created.
The Hollywood Reporter says it was at DC's Vertigo imprint that he collaborated with author Garth Ennis, first on the critically acclaimed Hellblazer and then on Preacher.
Vertigo Comics paid tribute on Twitter, saying: "We lost a giant among creators and artists today. He will be missed by all of us here."
The Preacher strip inspired the US television series of the same name. In a statement, TV company AMC said: "Steve Dillon was an enormously talented illustrator who, with Garth Ennis, created a cult classic comic we were so proud to bring to television."
Dillon and Ennis then worked together on multiple series of the Punisher at Marvel, who have described the artist as "a great storyteller" on Twitter, and said they will remember his "incredible work".
On his blog of British comics, Lew Stringer who describes himself as one of Dillon's "legions of fans", paid tribute,...
