The family of a teenager who vanished nine years ago has welcomed a police appeal for information about a Volvo car seen on the night he went missing.

Article: Luke Durbin, 19, of Hollesley, Suffolk, failed to return home after a night out in Ipswich on 12 May 2006.
His mother Nicki said when a police team took over the case and interviewed her for six hours she was able to put more emphasis on the car.
She had always believed the owner of the Volvo car was significant.
"I am hopeful someone will now come forward and I am convinced there is someone out there with relevant information," she said.
"Despite the disappearance being nine years ago I am sure someone locally knows something.
"It's a relief to know the team is now looking seriously at the importance of the car."
Police know the silver or white Volvo 440 was seen in Orwell Place in Ipswich at 04:19 BST on Friday 12 May 2006, just minutes after the last CCTV images of Luke .
Officers are keen to trace the driver and any occupants of the vehicle.
Mr Durbin had spent part of the evening in Zest nightclub on Princes Street before leaving in the early hours.
The last sighting of him was on CCTV walking across Dogs Head Street in the direction of the bus station.
Det Supt John Brocklebank said: "Someone locally knows what happened to Luke, however we are still waiting for the crucial piece of information that can solve the mystery.
"We're releasing the CCTV images of a Volvo seen in the area.  Despite appeals we have not been able to trace the occupants of this car.
"We'd like to hear from anyone who knows someone who had access to a silver or white coloured Volvo 440 around May 2006 who may have been in Ipswich around 04:00 BST that day."

Two Turkish soldiers have been killed and 31 wounded in a suicide attack by Kurdish PKK militants, the Turkish military says.

Article: A tractor laden with explosives was driven at a military police station, a statement said.
The attack happened early on Sunday near the town of Dogubayezit in Agri province, near the border with Iran.
Since 24 July, Turkey has carried out hundreds of air raids on PKK bases on both sides of the Iraq-Turkey border.
A Turkish state news agency, Anadolu, said the tractor was carrying two tons of explosives that were detonated by a suicide bomber.
Turkey's army said in a statement that "long-range guns" were also found. Four of the injured were in a serious condition.
The statement said the Karabulak Gendarmerie Station was hit at around 03:00 local time on Sunday (midnight GMT).
Images in the Turkish press showed a badly-damaged building with the roof destroyed.
One report said the blast was so strong that houses in a village several hundred metres away were hit by debris and some residents were slightly injured.
The Dogan news agency added that militants also set up ambushes on roads to prevent medical teams getting to the scene.
There has been no comment from the PKK so far.
AFP news agency said it would be the first time the group was accused of deploying a suicide bomber during recent clashes.
Turkey says the group was behind a number of attacks in the last two weeks:
Turkey's official news agency says about 260 Kurdish fighters have been killed in strikes in northern Iraq and Turkey since 24 July. It has also targeted positions held by the Islamic State group.
At least six people were killed and several wounded in further Turkish air strikes on Saturday east of Erbil, said local officials.
The pro-PKK Firat news agency described an attack on the village of Zerkel as a "massacre".
Iraqi Kurdish President Massoud Barzani said: "We condemn the bombing, which led to the martyrdom of the citizens of the Kurdish region, and we call on Turkey to not repeat the bombing of civilians."

This year's Grand National winner Rule The World has been retired.

Article: The 33-1 shot, ridden by David Mullins and trained by Mouse Morris, triumphed at Aintree in April to become the first novice to win the race since 1958.
The nine-year-old, owned by the Gigginstown House Stud, has twice recovered from a cracked pelvis.
"We didn't want to send him back to Aintree with a big weight, that wouldn't be fair," said Gigginstown's racing manager Eddie O'Leary.
"He provided us with our first Grand National and we'll never forget him."
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
"As the first Grand National winner for owner Michael O'Leary's burgeoning Gigginstown House Stud as well as the first novice chaser to win the race in nearly 60 years, Rule The World has his place in history.
"Though he ran highly respectably at Punchestown after Aintree, O'Leary had already hinted that, having defied serious injury to reach one of the great pinnacles, he had perhaps done his bit.
"What a season for Gigginstown, with success at Aintree, in the Irish National and Cheltenham Gold Cup, but at a price. Rule the World has been retired and there are doubts whether Gold Cup winner Don Cossack will race again."

The proposed agreement includes a 2% pay rise in year one, RPI inflation or 1% (whichever is greater) in years two and three, and RPI plus 0.25% or 1% (whichever is greater) in year four, plus a £500 bonus for staff on lines where the night Tube will run.
But three other unions are still to decide on whether they accept the offer.
BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards said the RMT executive's move was a "big step forward".
The train drivers' union Aslef and TSSA, which represents station staff, are yet to decide, although Aslef is said to be "looking like they will also accept".
But Unite, which represents engineering staff, has turned down the offer and wants further talks, Tom Edwards said.

How did the Oscars mistake happen?
Nine epic awards fails
On Sunday La La Land was mistakenly named best picture instead of winner Moonlight.
The team behind La La Land were interrupted mid-acceptance speech before the real winner was revealed.
It has been described as the biggest mistake in 89 years of Academy Awards history.
Mr Cullinan mistakenly handed the wrong envelope to the two presenters, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
They were given the back-up envelope for best actress in a leading role - rather than the envelope which contained the name of the winner for the best film.
PwC counts the votes and organises the envelopes. It has apologised for the mix-up.
Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs on Wednesday said that the relationship with PwC was now under review.
Mr Cullinan tweeted a picture of best actress winner Emma Stone minutes before handing the presenters the wrong envelope, and Ms Boone Isaacs blamed "distraction" for the error.

A health board has brought in extra staff and cancelled some operations in an attempt to manage "significant pressures".

Article: Hywel Dda director of operations Joe Teape said all hospitals were full following a busy bank holiday weekend.
He said there were a high number of patients who needed to be admitted which put pressure on impatient beds.
Mr Teape thanked staff for "working tirelessly" and asked people to "bear with them at this busy time."
In a statement the health board said additional medical staff were working to ensure "all patients had a senior medical review" both in A&E and on the wards.
Community teams are also at the hospitals to support patients on discharge.
The health board said it had to cancel some "non-urgent planned operations" on Tuesday and will review Wednesday's operations during the day.
"Every winter we deal with a number of seasonal pressures," Mr Teape said.
"To mitigate the demand on services, we have a winter plan to ensure that services continue to run as smoothly as possible while ensuring that patients' needs continue to be met 24 hours a day."
He added that local communities could help by making using of NHS services such as pharmacies rather than visiting A&E departments, where appropriate.

Sterling see-sawed as investors reacted to growing uncertainty over the outcome of the UK's EU referendum.

Article: The currency initially slipped against the dollar and euro, only to start recovering in mid-afternoon trading before falling again.
Meanwhile, the "volatility index" - a measure of investors' uncertainty - has hit levels last seen in the 2008 financial crisis.
The Leave campaign argued that the pound simply retreated to March levels.
The pound was down 0.2% against the dollar at $1.4226. Against the euro, sterling was down 0.6% at â‚¬1.2605 and weakened by 1% against the Japanese yen to just over 151.
Investors have been spooked by data showing the chances of a Remain vote have fallen, although markets have also been rattled by global economic worries.
With 10 days to go before the referendum vote, two polls at the weekend put the Leave camp ahead, while betting firm Betfair said the implied probability of a vote to Remain had now fallen to 68.5% from almost 80% a week earlier.

"We expect incoming polls to move the pound more aggressively than before," said Charalambos Pissouros, senior analyst at IronFX Global.
"If new polls continue to show a tight race between the two campaigns as we approach the voting day, the outcome is likely to become even more uncertain and hence, volatility in sterling is likely to heighten further."
BBC economics editor Kamal Ahmed said hedge funds had been placing bets - short-selling - on expectations that the value of sterling will sink further. "The bears are in town," he said.
Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital, said the markets were now on full Brexit alert. "Polls show it's now too close to call and markets are responding with some very twitchy activity. Sterling has shed more than 2% in two sessions to retrace its April lows."

The National Crime Agency (NCA), is to lead the investigation into the sale of Nama's NI property portfolio.

Article: It will also investigate claims about money contained in an Isle of Man bank account.
It is understood the PSNI asked the NCA to take the lead because of the complexity and scale of the investigation.
It is the NCA's first major investigation since it began operating in Northern Ireland in May.
Investigators from the agency are expected to meet the PSNI shortly.
In a statement on Thursday, the NCA, the UK equivalent of the FBI, confirmed it had agreed to investigate the sale of Northern Ireland assets owned by the Republic of Ireland's National Assets Management Agency (Nama).
NCA deputy director of operations Graham Gardner said: "The NCA has considered a request from [the] PSNI and has agreed to lead an investigation, calling on support as necessary from PSNI officers.

This takes the investigation to a new level.
The NCA has a level of expertise and resources not available to the PSNI.
They include a specialist economic crime unit and a financial intelligence unit.
Those units contain specialist investigators like forensic accountants and technical experts.
The NCA also has an international reach and works with other agencies throughout the world, including Interpol, whose members include the Republic of Ireland and the United States.

Article: BBC Northern Ireland is planning to move from its premises at Broadcasting House on Ormeau Avenue.
The corporation has yet to decide on a site.
The council has set out its preferred options for the broadcaster in its regeneration and investment strategy.
It said lands to the rear of Belfast Central Library, a site north of Great Patrick Street or the stalled Royal Exchange development could all be suitable.
It has recommended that a working group involving the BBC, the council, the universities and other agencies should be formed.
The Ulster University is currently building a major extension to its Belfast campus on the northern edge of the city centre.
Adjacent streets are also due to be redeveloped as part of the Northside scheme.
The council strategy expresses hope that a major department store, such as John Lewis, will anchor the Royal Exchange development.
But it states that if the retail option is not possible the BBC "would be an obvious candidate" as an anchor tenant.
The BBC has previously been linked with a move to Titanic Quarter or as part of the redevelopment of Great Victoria Street station.
The council's strategy also contains details of its Â£19m city centre investment fund.
It could be used to make loan or equity funding to developments or for the council to buy development sites.

The overall winner was Paolo Ferla who took "Electric Bristol" - a picture of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Megan Witty, from 24 Hours In Bristol, said the judges had had "an incredibly tough job" picking a winner.
The competition involves entrants being "randomly allocated" one hour of the day or night in which they must take at least one photograph.
Mr Ferla, from Bath, said he was "delighted" to have won.
He said he used a 10 second self-timer and then ran into the shot.
"Ten seconds is not very long so it took quite a few attempts - when we got there the sky was still quite bright, so we sat there for nearly 20 minutes waiting for the sky to get darker.
"It's a beautiful bridge and as soon as the sun sets on it and the sky gets darker and the electric lights come on - it just comes to life. "

A mine, which has been made popular again by the recent BBC series Poldark, is to get a "facelift".

Article: Machinery that used to be "the heart" of Poldark Mine is to be restored by Cornwall College engineering students.
The tin mine, which is open to the public, is one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, its owner said.
It is believed that the renovation project on the mine at Wendron near Helston could take several years to complete.
David Edwards, who bought it last year, said the machinery on site "has suffered after 14 years of little or no investment" but that the recent BBC television series has prompted the need for it to be rejuvenated.
"Poldark definitely had an impact for us, it brought more people in buying bookmarks and taking a tour of the mine," he said.
"The challenge now is to restore the machinery we have on display and get it back in order so that it is more interesting to the public.
"This has been a place of industry since the 1400s, one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, so keeping it going is vital for Cornwall's heritage."
Luke Bazeley, an engineering lecturer at Cornwall College, said: "We always try to give the students work experience and this is the perfect live project to work on - they've loved visiting the site and finding out more about Cornwall's heritage."
He added the students will need to do some research to find replacement parts for the machinery.

Four Danish journalists have been found guilty of paying for credit card information to track politicians, celebrities and royal family members.

Article: An employee of the credit card company Nets was also convicted.
Leaks provided by IT expert Peter Bo Henriksen to the Se og Hor weekly magazine enabled it to report a series of royal family and celebrity stories, to the bafflement of its rivals.
The case has attracted huge public interest in Denmark.
Judge Mette Lyster Knudsen sentenced Mr Henriksen - who used to work for Nets - to 18 months in jail for selling information between 2008 and 2012 that detailed the location of major public figures including Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and actor Mads Mikkelsen.
Former Se og Hor editor Henrik Qvortrup was also sentenced to 18 months in jail, of which 12 were converted into 200 hours' community service.
Three other Se og Hor journalists were given suspended sentences, while another was acquitted.
All have since left the weekly, which has one of the biggest circulations in Denmark.
Among the stories reported by the magazine were details about the honeymoon of Prince Joachim and his wife in Canada in 2008, after it bought information about their itinerary from Nets.
The media group that owns the magazine was fined $1.52m (Â£1.22m) last year for wrongfully monitoring more than 120 celebrities. Two former senior staff members were given suspended sentences.
One of the celebrities who fell victim to the magazine, Rene Dif of the Danish-Norwegian music group Aqua, criticised the sentences on Thursday. "These short sentences shows how ridiculous the Danish justice system is," he told Danish TV.
The four journalists have said they are considering an appeal against the verdict.

Turkey's military has denied that it mistakenly told Russian warplanes to bomb a building in Syria on Thursday, killing three Turkish soldiers.

Article: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the pilots were "guided by co-ordinates" from "Turkish partners".
"There should not have been Turkish troops at those co-ordinates," he said.
But the Turkish military insisted the troops had been at the building for 10 days and that Russia had been advised of their position on Wednesday.
The two countries, which support opposing sides in Syria's almost six-year civil war, are working together to drive the Islamic State group from its last stronghold in Aleppo province.
Turkish-backed rebel fighters have been besieging al-Bab from the north since December, while Russian-backed government forces are advancing from the south.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was quick to call his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to offer condolences after Thursday's air strike, which also wounded 11 Turkish soldiers.
On Friday morning, Mr Putin's spokesman told reporters in Moscow that the causes of the incident were "clear".
"Unfortunately, when carrying out strikes against terrorists, our military were guided by co-ordinates that had been handed over by Turkish partners," Mr Peskov said.
Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister, Numan Kurtulmus, meanwhile said the air strike was still being investigated.
"According to initial information we received, it is a total accident," he was quoted as saying by the state-run Anadolu news agency. "But how it happened and how the co-ordination was miscalculated will be clarified."
The Turkish military subsequently issued its statement challenging Mr Peskov's account and stressing that the soldiers' position had been communicated the previous day to both officers at Russia's Hmeymim airbase in Syria and the Russian military attache in Ankara.
The air strike came as rebel fighters clashed with pro-government forces near al-Bab for the first time since coming within firing distance of each other.
Russia had to intervene to prevent further fighting at a village south-west of the town again on Friday, according to the Reuters news agency.

Article: The company, best known for its smartphone chips, wants to reduce spending by $1.4bn (Â£900m), partly through a 15% cut in its workforce.
The US-based firm also delivered its third profit warning of the year.

Chesterfield striker was cleared of assaulting woman in Rhyl, Denbighshire.
Summary: Chesterfield striker was cleared of assaulting woman in Rhyl, Denbighshire.

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

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

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the 1.14 litre bottles of Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin should have had 40% alcohol content by volume when the actual figure was 77%.

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

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

Leading flat jockey Ryan Moore has been advised to take "complete rest" as he recovers from a hip injury.

Article: The three-time champion jockey, 32, has not put a timescale on his return to the saddle.
"I'm not going to rush it," he said. "I want to be 100% for all the major races in the autumn."
Moore looks set to miss York's four-day Ebor Festival, one of the biggest fixtures on the flat-racing calendar, which begins on 17 August.
The major autumn races include the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, British Champions Day, the Breeders' Cup and the Melbourne Cup.
The lay-off will damage his chances of winning the jockeys' championship for a fourth time.
Moore, the number one rider for Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien, is second with 57 winners this year, two behind Silvestre de Sousa.
He finished as top rider at the recent Goodwood Festival with eight victories.
"I have been a bit sore for the last couple of weeks and been advised by a specialist that complete rest is the best option," he added.
"I'm going to play it by ear, but hope to be back soon."
Moore was sidelined for two months last year with a neck injury.

An arson attack on the site of the new Museum of Free Derry shows "total disrespect" for victims, a Bloody Sunday relative has said.

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

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

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

The latest study, published in the journal Science, is the first to use radiocarbon dating to date the remains of a mastodon.
The researchers say the findings are "very exciting" and "provide a new window into the past".
The team's findings are based on analysis of the remains of a

A study that claims humans reached the Americas 130,000 years ago - much earlier than previously suggested - has run into controversy.

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

Article: L/Cpl James Brynin, who served with the 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), was shot while on patrol in Helmand Province on 15 October.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, joined the Army in February 2011 and entered the Intelligence Corps.
He was repatriated via RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
L/Cpl Brynin worked as an intelligence analyst and had been selected for promotion to corporal when his patrol was attacked in Kakaran, north east of Lashkar Gah.
L/Cpl Brynin, known as Jay, received immediate medical attention but died from his injuries at the scene.
After his initial training, he was posted to 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), which is based at Cawdor Barracks in Pembrokeshire, and had already served a tour in Afghanistan in 2012.
He returned to Afghanistan this August as an intelligence analyst working for a light electronic warfare team (LEWT) within the Brigade Reconnaissance Force (BRF) of 7th Armoured Brigade.

Meat-eaters "easily cheat, lie, forget promises and commit sex crimes", according to a controversial school textbook available in India.

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

Summary: Three men arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

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

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

A Beatles sleeve which features the faces of music executives in place of the Fab Four has been named the world's rarest album cover.

Article: The adapted artwork for the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album is worth about ??70,000.
It was created to celebrate the success of the record - released in June 1967 - for Christmas of that year.
The artwork is one of five Beatles album sleeves to feature in the top 10, compiled by Record Collector magazine.
Sir Peter Blake's original Sgt Pepper collage was doctored to replace the faces of The Beatles and other notable figures with those of executives from the band's US label Capitol.
Only about 100 are thought to have been made.
'Main attraction'
In second place, valued at ??7,000, are the first 10 numbered copies of the Beatles' self-titled 1968 record, which became known as The White Album because of its plain white cover.
The band's name was embossed on the front of the sleeve, which was designed by pop artist Richard Hamilton, along with a unique stamped serial number.
In third position was a pair of sleeves designed by Andy Warhol.
Madrigals' 1953 work Magic Key To Spanish Volumes 1 and 2, and spoken word anti-crime lecture The Nation's Nightmare, from 1951, have been valued at ??3,500 and ??3,000 respectively.
At number four was the bizarre US-released compilation album Jolly What! England's Greatest Recording Stars: The Beatles and Frank Ifield on Stage.
The 1964 album, featuring the songs of both the Fab Four and crooner Ifield, is valued at ??3,000.
The Beatles  were also in eighth place for the original album sleeve created for the US release of their Yesterday And Today record in 1966, which is valued at ??2,000.
Known as "the butcher sleeve" because it featured the musicians posing with dismembered doll parts and slabs of meat, it was quickly withdrawn from the US market.
List compiler Ian Shirley, editor of the Rare Record Price Guide 2012, said: "While pristine records and inserts are vital to securing a top price, the numbered sleeve is the main attraction.
"The hunger to collect low numbers remains undiminished amongst Beatles fans."

The US administration is set to announce a new plan to cut the United Nations' peacekeeping budget by more than $1bn, in a move that could see the organisation's peacekeeping operations cut back to a fraction of their current size.
The US is set to announce a new plan to cut the United Nations'

The United Nations has warned that President Donald Trump's plans to cut contributions to peacekeeping will make such work "impossible".

Article: The US administration signalled heavy cuts to UN operations, in its budget proposals released on Tuesday.
The US foots more than a quarter of the UN's $7.9bn (Â£6.1bn) peacekeeping bill.
A spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the organisation was willing to discuss how peacekeeping could be made more cost-effective.
Mr Trump's budget proposal declares new "attention on the appropriate US share of international spending at the United Nations".
The document does not provide a detailed breakdown, but Reuters news agency reports the drop in funding for the operations could amount to $1bn.
The spokesman said the UN was studying Mr Trump's plan. "The figures presented would simply make it impossible for the UN to continue all of its essential work advancing peace, development, human rights and humanitarian assistance," he said.
The BBC's Nick Bryant at the UN says such a warning from the organisation is unusually blunt.
The US president does not set the budget, but makes recommendations to Congress. It is understood that the UN secretary general has been lobbying Congress members on the importance of international peacekeeping.
The US provides 28.5% of the United Nations peacekeeping budget - almost three times as much as the next-highest contributor, China.
While Mr Trump's plan does not include details, the US is known to want to cap its contributions to a maximum of 25%.
There are currently 16 active peacekeeping operations, including Syria, South Sudan, and on the border of India and Pakistan.

Two bottles of whisky recovered from a shipwreck that inspired the book Whisky Galore may have been missed from official statistics.

Article: The cargo ship SS Politician, which had 28,000 cases of whisky, sank off Eriskay in Western Isles 75 years ago.
Eight bottles of the whisky were recovered by a diver in 1987.
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) has suggested that two bottles it has on the Isle of Canna could be added to these eight known bottles.
The bottles in the care of NTS are kept at Canna House and belonged the late John Lorne-Campbell and his wife Margaret Faye-Shaw, who gifted the property and Hebridean island to the trust.
Fiona McKenzie, archivist at Canna House, said: "According to the previous archivist, the bottles have 'always been at the house'.
"She was here from the 1960s and that's well before the diver brought up eight bottles in 1987. So looks like we may have two bottles that are not included in the official stats."
Many other bottles were salvaged from the SS Politician at the time of its sinking in 1941 and still thought to survive, but have not been officially recorded.
Hundreds of cases of whisky were hidden from customs officers by islanders. Some locations of these secret stashes have since been forgotten, according to islanders today.
The SS Politician was headed for Jamaica when it ran aground on the northern side of Eriskay in bad weather.
Scottish author Compton Mackenzie, published the novel Whisky Galore in 1947, which was loosely based on the shipwreck.
It was adapted for the cinema in a 1949 Ealing comedy.

Summary:


The Welsh Government is to launch a new scheme to help teachers develop their skills and improve their practice.
The scheme, which will be rolled out in phases, will see teachers given a learning passport to record their professional development.
The passport will be used to help teachers to identify and develop their own professional development needs.

Teachers in Wales are to be given more support to develop their careers and improve teaching in the classroom.

Article: The so-called New Deal will reshape how they are trained as their career develops and help them to deliver the new "made in Wales curriculum".
Each of Wales' 37,600 teachers will be given a learning passport by September to record professional development.
Education Minister Huw Lewis said having "high capacity, high skilled professionals" was essential.
Policies for recruiting and developing teachers and other school staff are "underdeveloped," according to a report by the OECD think-tank, looking at schools in Wales last year.
There has been a small improvement in the quality of teaching, which is now good or better in half of schools, says the schools watchdog Estyn in its annual report.
But there are fewer schools where teaching is excellent.
The quality of assessment was also found to be variable in a minority of schools.
Teachers will be offered support but be expected to continually update their skills.
Mr Lewis will visit Brynnau Primary school in Pontyclun, Rhondda Cynon Taf, to highlight its record in developing its staff to benefit pupils.
He said: "We are currently undertaking one of the most ambitious series of educational reforms Wales has ever seen, aimed squarely at improving standards right across the board.
"However we know that excellent teaching and leadership is crucial to the learner experience and to our ongoing work of raising outcomes for all learners at all levels."
He added that "the quality of the professional at the chalk face has a huge impact on the quality of teaching and learning".

Article: The poster, on Tamworth Road, in Sawley, Derbyshire, shows aliens beaming up a person into their spaceship with the text, "they'll take the fat ones first".
Combat Bullying, based in Nottinghamshire, said it would "further harm" those who are being bullied.
Fit4Less said it wanted to create a "light-hearted and humorous" advert.
It reads: "They're comingâ€¦ and when they arrive they'll take the FAT ones first!". It then has "save yourself!" with an arrow pointing to the gym's website.
One passer-by said the poster was "ridiculous" and he would "rip it down" because "being a big lad myself, it upsets you".
Many other people said it was "in poor taste" and "offensive".
Natalie Harvey, founder of the charity, said the poster has caused her concerns because it would "aid bullying".
"This week alone three cases have been brought to my attention of children being bullied because of weight issues," she said.
"If those children or the perpetrators saw this poster it would cause further harm for the children who are being bullied.
"The poster should be removed and replaced with something more tasteful to attract the gym goers."
Kerry Matthews, from the gym in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, said: "We really didn't mean it offensively.
"It was supposed to be a bit cheeky, hence the alien image, and grab people's attention in a couple of seconds.
"So many campaigns use ultra skinny people and that's not the reality."
Ms Matthews added that the gym wanted to get people talking about getting fitter.

Inspector Becky Harper said: "While he is very cute, we'd like to stress that raccoon dogs don't make good pets."
"They are wild animals and we would strongly discourage people from buying or keeping one," she said.
"They need a great deal of space, and their needs cannot be met in a typical domestic environment."

Two men who ran FlexiFoods - a meat suppliers linked to Dinos & Sons - have admitted passing horsemeat off as beef.
Mr Sideras denies one count of conspiracy to defraud.
The discovery of horsemeat in processed beef products sold by a number of UK supermarket chains in 2013 resulted in a series of product recalls.
The plot to pass horsemeat off as beef only came to light after horse identification chips were found in the meat by inspectors.
Ulrik Nielsen, 58, the owner of FlexiFoods, and his "right-hand man", Alex Beech, 44, have already admitted their involvement in the conspiracy.
Mr Sideras, of Southgate, north London, told the court in that in 2012 he agreed to store horsemeat for FlexiFoods.
He admits he relabelled the shipment because the packaging had been damaged during transit, but denies purchasing, selling or using the horsemeat.

Overnight emergencies have been diverted to the recently-opened Northumbria Hospital in Cramlington.
The closures at North Tyneside, Hexham and Wansbeck hospitals, will continue for a further three months.
The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust said the impact on patients had been minimal as the units were underused at night.
Staff from the units have been moved to the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, in Cramlington, which opened in 2015, to deal with a "very high demand" in day-time admissions.
A spokesman said it would be "inappropriate" to deploy staff back to the urgent care centres overnight at the current time.
He added: "This is to ensure best use of precious staffing resources to deliver patient care where it is needed most."
The trust said since opening the Northumbria hospital in June 2015, activity overnight at the urgent care centres had been "minimal" with, on average, less than 10 overnight attendances a day across all three centres.
The spokesman added: "We'd like to assure residents that this decision to temporarily extend the current arrangements at our urgent care centres has not been taken lightly.
"It was entirely correct for us to put in place the interim changes in the wake of services being extremely busy across the NHS. They have helped us successfully meet the high demand we continue to see, even now during the summer.
"As a result, it would simply not be the best use of our staff's time and expertise to deploy them back now."

London's first History Day will be held on the anniversary of Big Ben's first day in operation.

Article: It will be first celebrated on 31 May in 2017 with celebrations and events run by Historic England.
The date was decided upon after a poll involving 1,000 Londoners. It was closely followed by 5 September - the date of the Great Fire of London.
The YouGov questionnaire also declared the Houses of Parliament as the building that best sums up London.
People voted for the Queen as their favourite historic London hero for the moment she secretly joined the crowds to celebrate Victory in Europe Day.
The results of the poll were released to mark the launch of Historic England's "Keep it London" campaign.
People were asked to select a date to celebrate the capital's history, their historic hero and the building that sums up London.
Big Ben's first day in operation was 31 May 1859.
The campaign is intended to encourage Londoners to notice, celebrate and speak up for the heritage of their city, Historic England said.
The public body has also launched a film entitled I am London, which celebrates the historic buildings and places that have borne witness to the capital's history.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: "Our heritage is a source of pride, a reminder of the city's past, a foundation for its present and the building blocks for its future."

A drink driver found by another motorist lying in the road with his trousers down has been ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.

Article: Jason Duff was discovered falling in and out of consciousness on Bo'ness Road in Polmont, Stirlingshire on 31 May last year.
The case was described by a prosecutor as one with "unusual circumstances".
The 44-year-old, of Cowdenbeath, Fife, was also banned from driving for four years.
Depute fiscal Siobhan Monks said a member of the public was driving along the road when he came across Duff's 15-year-old Peugeot 206.
Miss Monks said the Peugeot engine was running, but the vehicle was stationary, and Duff was not in it.
The other motorist stopped and found Duff "lying in the road, under the influence, with his trousers down, falling in and out of consciousness".
A blood sample taken at Forth Valley Royal Hospital three hours later showed Duff was still over twice the legal drink drive limit.
Duff told police he had drunk alcohol and slept in his car following an argument with his girlfriend.
Miss Monks said that when Duff woke up he decided to drive to work, but felt unwell, stopped his car and got out, but could remember nothing more.
Solicitor advocate Stephen Biggam, defending, said: "He had become dehydrated, that's why he passed out."
Duff pleaded guilty at Falkirk Sheriff Court to a charge of drink-driving.
In addition to the driving ban and unpaid work order, Sheriff John Mundy placed Duff under social work supervision for 18 months.
He said: "This is a serious matter.
"The court does have the power to impose a custodial sentence, but it would be better for you to receive some kind of structured support."

The Scottish Government has announced a new £1.5 million fund to help tackle the problem of alcohol misuse among young people.
The fund will be used to support the development of a new alcohol misuse prevention strategy for Scotland.
The strategy will be developed by the Scottish Government's Alcohol Strategy Group, which will include representatives

The number of murders in Scotland has fallen again, according to new figures.

Article: In the year to the end of March, 57 victims of homicide (murders and culpable homicides) were recorded - down five on the previous 12 months.
This is the lowest number of recorded homicide cases for a single 12-month period since 1976 and half the figure of nine years ago.
As of 31 March 2016, only one case of homicide recorded in 2015-16 was unresolved.
The report Homicide in Scotland showed that a sharp instrument remained the most common method of killing in Scotland and accounted for 51% of homicides (29 cases) in 2015-16.
Nearly all of these cases (26 out of 29) involved a knife.
While the majority of the accused had an unknown status for alcohol and drugs, 31% (20 people) were identified by the police as being under the influence of alcohol or alcohol and drugs.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "While it is encouraging to see continued falls in homicide cases alongside the long-term decline in violent crime, the sustained efforts that have helped achieve this - through education and enforcement - must continue, because each of the lives lost is one life too many.
"There is a clear role across a range of public services, in addition to the critical work of our police, to continue to support communities that may remain at risk from violent crime and to challenge irresponsible attitudes both to alcohol misuse and to so-called 'casual' violence.
"We will continue to work with partners and invest in a range of projects to help steer our young people away from the risks of a life of violence and crime, while also ensuring our law enforcement agencies and the courts have the powers and resources needed to deal with those who do harm to others."
Scottish Labour's justice spokeswoman Claire Baker said: "Whilst I welcome the overall downward trend in homicides in Scotland we have to take these statistics with a note of caution.
"Last year when the Scottish government were heralding 'record low' homicide figures after a supposed similar drop, the actual figures were being revised upwards to show an...

A man who briefly bought and owned the Google.com web domain has been rewarded by the search giant.

Article: An administration oversight allowed US student Sanmay Ved to buy the right to control the domain on 29 September.
The oversight left him in charge of Google.com for about a minute until Google caught on and cancelled the transaction.
Now Mr Ved has been given a cash reward for spotting the error, which he has decided to donate to charity.
Google declined to comment on the story.
Mr Ved detailed his experience in a post on the LinkedIn site saying that he had been keeping an eye on Google-related web domains for some time because he used to work at the search giant. Mr Ved is currently an MBA student at a US college.
In the early hours of 29 September he noticed a for sale sign next to the Google.com name while browsing sites on Google's own website-buying service.
He used a credit card to pay the $12 (Â£8) fee to grab google.com and got emails confirming he was the owner. Almost immediately he started getting messages intended for Google's own web administration team.
This was followed by a cancellation message sent by the website buying service which said he could not take over Google.com because someone else had already registered it and his $12 payment was refunded.
Now it has emerged that Mr Ved has been given a "bug bounty" by Google's security team for revealing the weakness in the domain buying system. The internal emails Mr Ved received while in charge of google.com have been passed to this team.
Mr Ved decided to give the cash to an Indian educational foundation and in response, Google doubled the reward.

Labour makes a difference in power, not in "principled opposition", the shadow Welsh secretary has told the party's Welsh conference in Llandudno.

Article: Nia Griffith said her party offers "investment in Wales, versus cuts from Westminster" by the Tories.
She urged people to "imagine the price" if there was a Conservative government in Wales as well.
"Labour changes peoples' lives when we are in government", Ms Griffith added.
She reinforced the message of First Minister Carwyn Jones, who told delegates on Saturday that the assembly election in May would be a straight fight between Labour and the Conservatives.
"Together we are fighting for Wales in Westminster and taking on the Tories' appalling treatment of our nation," Ms Griffith said.
"We need to tell families up and down the country about what our Welsh Labour government is delivering.
"Investment in Wales, versus cuts from Westminster - jobs for our young people, not leaving a generation behind.
"That's the difference that a Labour government makes. Labour policies promised then delivered because we are in government.
"So don't listen to those who say we should be happy just shouting from the sidelines, that principled opposition is better than political power.
"If we take that attitude we may as well shut up shop."
Ms Griffith pointed to Labour's establishment of the NHS, introduction of the minimum wage, and delivering devolution with the creation of the National Assembly.
Meanwhile Mr Jones has said income tax rates in Wales would stay the same as those in England under a Labour Welsh government.
He told the Sunday Supplement programme on BBC Radio Wales he would not use new powers to increase income taxes if Labour won the assembly election.
"People have a real squeeze on their personal finances and the last thing I want to do is add to that pressure," he said,

The Cotswolds could be policed by the Thames Valley force if plans to "break away" from Gloucestershire County Council go ahead, it is claimed.

Article: There could be "serious implications" for Gloucestershire Police, the police and crime commissioner has warned.
Cotswold District Council's proposal to form a unity authority with West Oxfordshire has proved controversial.
But CDC says the plans - dubbed 'Coxit' - are at an early stage but aim to improve accountability.
CDC leader Lynden Stowe has said Gloucestershire's "historic borders" would remain under the proposals, which aim to improve the "administration and the delivery of council services".
He told BBC Radio Gloucestershire a few weeks ago: "We would expect the police to patrol up to the existing county borders, exactly as now, so if there's a crime in Cirencester, Gloucestershire Police attend and if there's a burglary in Burford, Thames Valley Police attend."
But Gloucestershire's PCC Martin Surl said he had taken legal advice on the "Coxit" proposal, and warned it could "signal the end of Gloucestershire Police as we know it".
Under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, he said the Cotswolds could become part of Thames Valley Police District.
"If they break away to a new district, we can't continue policing just half a district," he told the BBC.
"So, either we start taking some of Thames Valley's area in Oxfordshire, or they start policing parts of Gloucestershire. Neither want that ."
A spokesman for Cotswold District Council said they "fully understand the initial concerns" but they were "best addressed through the detailed studies that will now take place to assess the feasibility of the unitary proposal".
Mr Surl, an independent, is standing for re-election as Gloucestershire PCC on 5 May, alongside Labour's Barry Kirby and the Conservatives' Will Windsor Clive.

The BBC's Panorama programme has exposed several safety concerns, from staffing levels to waste storage.
The programme, which was broadcast on Monday, revealed that the plant's waste storage ponds are at risk of collapse.

The Manx government is "concerned" about the safety of the Sellafield nuclear site, a spokesman said.

Article: On Monday, the BBC's Panorama programme uncovered several safety concerns, from staffing levels to waste storage.
The Mannin Branch of the Celtic League has called on the Manx government to campaign for a full, independent inspection of the plant in Cumbria.
Sellafield says the site is safe and has been improved with significant investment in recent years.
A spokesman added: "Safety is our priority and we are managing a very complex site which has got a great deal of hazardous radioactive materials on it."
The Isle of Man is located about 34 miles (55km) from the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant.
Due to its potential impact on the Manx fishing industry, the Manx government began monitoring radioactivity levels in the Irish Sea in 1989.
A government spokesman said: "Seafood fished in Manx waters can contain traces of radio-nuclides associated with effluent discharges from Sellafield to the Irish Sea, therefore these are monitored regularly to confirm that they remain well below maximum safe limits."
The BBC investigation was prompted by a whistle-blower - a former senior manager who was worried by conditions at the plant.
He said his biggest fear was a fire in one of the nuclear waste silos or in one of the processing plants.
The Manx government said it was particularly concerned about "the structural integrity of ageing waste storage ponds and silos".
A spokesman added: "However we are content that Sellafield Ltd and the nuclear regulators are trying to improve the safety situation.
"The government has asked questions about the technical solutions being developed to decommission these redundant structures and representatives have visited the site to look at the work under way".

The Duchy of Cornwall was warned of the risk of a "potentially fatal situation" at a beach it owns, ahead of a man's death there last week.

Article: Oneil Din, 27, from Coventry, got caught in a rip current and died at Crantock beach, Cornwall on 15 August.
Crantock Parish Council told the duchy in April it was "extremely concerned about the safety risks to the public".
The duchy said new warning signs were put up in 2016 and it planned to "see what more can possibly be done".
More on this story, and other Devon and Cornwall news
The duchy was involved in a series of meetings and concluded there was no "simple solution" as the area had protected status, and that re-engineering the course of a river was a complicated and long process with no guarantees of success.
The council said the beach had become more dangerous since a breakwater was damaged by storms in 2015, causing the River Gannel to change course.
Earlier this month 11 bodyboarders had to be rescued at the same beach.
The council said: "Since the river diverted, very significant movements of sand have occurred that have made bathing conditions extremely dangerous at certain states of tide and sea condition".
The council met the duchy, the National Trust and the Marine Management Organisation on 27 January to discuss the issue but no repairs were authorised.
It also wrote a letter to the duchy in April saying it remained "extremely concerned about the safety risks to the public at large on a very busy beach, especially in the summer, and the possibility of an unfortunate, and potentially fatal, situation occurring".
RNLI lifeguard supervisor John Steadman said after the recent death: "Crantock beach has some unpredictable currents at the moment due to the topography of the beach constantly changing."
The duchy, which has land in 23 counties and funds the activities of the Prince of Wales, expressed its condolences and said in a statement: "In 2016 new signs were installed to alert people to the danger of strong currents and other risks.
"We plan to meet again with the parish council, National Trust and other stakeholders to see what more can possibly be done."

A new devolved authority has been ordered to review its estimated budget after it rose by £500,000.

Article: Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCC), set up this year, originally estimated annual running costs of about £1.3m.
But the authority's scrutiny committee voted against approving it, with one member asking if recruitment plans were "written on the back of a bus ticket".
CPCC said a reason for the rise was that a new authority was being created.
The authority, created under government devolution plans, intends to employ 15 staff, including newly-created housing, skills and transport director roles all on annual salaries above £100,000.
After Wednesday's decision by the scrutiny committee, the process of recruiting any new staff cannot begin until CPCC has reconsidered its budget, the deadline for which is 31 August.
Labour Cambridge city councillor Dave Baigent, a member of the scrutiny committee, asked of the new jobs: "Were these ideas written down on the back of a bus ticket? Were they discussed with councillors in advance?"
Lucy Nethsinga, a Liberal Democrat county councillor, said she had concerns over how these jobs overlapped with those in county and district councils.
CPCC chief executive Martin Whiteley said: "We, with 15 staff, will be substantially smaller than any other devolved authority in the country.
"I don't envisage us creating a big shiny office. We'll be looking to work flexibly across council offices."

People with hidden health conditions are being offered "Please offer me a seat" badges in a bid to help ease their suffering on London transport.

Article: The Transport for London (TfL) trial follows the success of its "Baby on board" badge for pregnant women.
TfL is recruiting 1,000 people to start wearing the blue badges from 12 September.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he hoped they would "give confidence" to people who find standing difficult.
Some travellers, such as James McNaught who is joining the trial, had already started making their own badges to alert fellow passengers to their condition.
The 45-year-old designed "Cancer on board" badges after travelling on the Tube between Kentish Town and University College Hospital for chemotherapy.
Radiotherapy on his throat left him unable to speak to ask for a seat, and the morphine made him appear drunk.
"I'm really pleased TfL is doing this trial," he said. "A badge and card could help make a real difference to the lives of people undergoing drug treatment or with longer term conditions or disabilities."
TfL will use social media and customer information to encourage other passengers to look out for the badges.
"This small act of consideration from Londoners could make a huge difference to disabled people getting around the city and being fully involved in all London has to offer," said Alice Mitchell-Pye of charity Leonard Cheshire Disability.
The six-week trial is believed to be the first of its kind in Europe.

Liberty House plans to submit a formal bid on Tuesday to buy Tata Steel's UK assets, which include the Port Talbot works employing about 4,000 people.

Article: Liberty, headed by Sanjeev Gupta, was first to express an interest in the assets when they were put up for sale.
A spokesman for Liberty told the BBC that the firm had put together a team of advisers and financial backers.
"The formal process is to submit a letter of intent; it amounts to a bid. It will be done on Tuesday," he said.
In addition to the Port Talbot factory - the UK's largest steelworks - Tata's remaining assets include sites at Newport, where more than 1,300 people are employed, and Rotherham, which employs 1,200. Tata also has operations at Corby, Shotton and Teesside.
Macquarie, the Australian bank, was advising Liberty on a potential bid, and is considered a potential financial backer of any takeover.
Liberty House started life in the university room of Indian-born founder Sanjeev Gupta.
While a student at Cambridge University in 1992, the budding entrepreneur started what has since become a global steel and commodities business with annual sales of more than £2bn.
With operations in 30 countries, and headquarters in London, Dubai, and Singapore, Mr Gupta's Liberty has also emerged as a possible saviour of Britain's steel industry.
Liberty's focus is on recycling the mountains of scrap metal generated in the UK, rather than the historical method of producing steel in blast furnaces.
Last month, it acquired Tata Steel's plants in Lanarkshire. In recent years, it has reached similar deals for steel plants in Newport and the Black Country.
A management buyout team is also planning to submit a bid under the name Excalibur Steel UK Limited.
It has appointed investment banker Mark Rhydderch-Roberts as a non-executive director. He joins Stuart Wilkie, the head of Tata's United Kingdom strip steel business, and former Alcan senior executive and venture capitalist Roger Maggs, on the board.
The government has promised to support any buyer of the business by taking up to a 25% stake in a new business and making hundreds of millions of pounds of finance available.
