The Rail, Maritime and Transport union will recommend its members accept a pay and conditions deal for the Night Tube service, its executive has decided.

Article: In May, it was revealed that the EFL, formerly known as the Football League before a rebrand this summer, could expand to include a fifth tier by 2019-20, with 100 teams over five divisions.
It is planned that additional clubs would come from the National League.
EFL clubs met to discuss the proposals for the first time on Thursday.
The exclusion of extra 'non-English' clubs from the plans, which will be voted on by all clubs in June 2017, would appear to remove any prospect of Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers being involved in the EFL in the forseeable future.
"The logical place for many was to source the additional teams for League Three from the National League," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said.
"We will now continue our consultation with the National League with a little more certainty as to what any change could mean for them."
This season, the Checkatrade Trophy has included under-21 teams from Premier League and Championship clubs for the first time on a trial basis.

Article: It happens every Wednesday when the House of Commons is sitting.
MPs get the chance to question the prime minister about stuff that's going on in their constituencies as well as national issues.
And it's famous for getting very noisy, with politicians literally shouting at each other across the room.
Six young voters from BBC Generation 2015 sat with Newsbeat to watch the final PMQs before the General Election. This is what they thought.
"I watch it occasionally - I kind of got into it during my gap year before university.
"I've always found it a bit populist. A lot of the politicians come in there with their pre-prepared gags and one-liners.
"I think when you look beyond the antics and all the jeering - sometimes the frankly amateurish behaviour from the professional MPs - when you look beyond that then it can actually be quite informative.
"Overall it's something we should definitely keep. It's a quirky thing, it's very British. In terms of being able to hold your prime minister accountable even if only for half an hour a week - I think it's something that a lot of countries actually envy."
"Today was my first time watching PMQs. It didn't appeal to me [before]. And even today when I tried to watch it, I can't really understand it.
"It made me feel like they were disrespecting the UK population... it's like a 'don't care' sort of attitude - let me just answer these questions, make them sound amazing, and have a snigger and a dig at people on my way.
"And I feel like that's really not passionate, especially because they're dealing with the future of the UK.
"It's a whole country full of millions of people and they think it's funny, that's so heartbreaking for me. I feel really disappointed in it."
Mel has watched PMQs "a few times" before.
"It infuriates me that it seems they're taking it so lightly when they're talking about really important issues.
"It makes me so angry. It's like they don't take it seriously and I know they do and that's what the most annoying thing is.
"But when people start taking...

Summary: Disrespectful, informative, like being in a zoo - all ways young voters used to describe Prime Minister's Questions, or PMQs as it is known.

Article: Nicola Sturgeon called on the government to guarantee funding which would allow offshore wind to be delivered on a far greater scale.
She said: "The UK government must now show greater ambition."
The Department of Energy and Climate Change said there was "huge potential" for future deployment in Scotland.
Only one Scottish offshore wind farm received a share of Â£260m set aside for projects from 2016-2018 and beyond.
Two major offshore wind farms were refused the 15-year Contracts For Difference (CFDs), which guarantee a price for the power generated.
The first minister said the decision had left uncertainty over their future development.
Ms Sturgeon was speaking ahead of a visit to Whitelee wind farm in East Renfrewshire - Scotland's largest onshore development.
She said: "Scotland has made huge progress in renewables deployment in Scotland, generating enough renewable energy to meet 44% of Scotland's annual electricity demand, generating millions of pounds of community benefit, and displacing an estimated 12 million tonnes of carbon dioxide across the UK.
"Scottish onshore wind is now considerably cheaper than new nuclear, thanks to sustained support and large-scale deployment of projects such as Scottish Power's Whitelee development.
"We are already seeing cost reductions in offshore wind but the scale of growth planned for the sector will be a key driver to delivering further cost reductions for the long-term benefit of consumers."
The first minister added: "It is essential that the UK government provide confidence to the offshore wind industry that sufficient money will be available in future allocation rounds to allow the sector to move forward with assurance and enable costs to be further reduced.
"Without this ambition Scotland risks missing the opportunity to cement the growth of an industry, with significant supply chain benefits, while decarbonising our energy supply."
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said the first minister was right to highlight the need for "greater clarity and ambition in the...

Summary: UK government budgets for offshore wind power are unlikely to support Scotland's ambitions to develop the industry, the first minister has said.

Article: The largest universities get the bulk of the funds because that is where the best research is conducted. But that means that they continue to thrive while the rest are left in their wake. It also means that new high-tech industries tend to base themselves around the large universities which tend to be in the South East of England.
Research funding is distributed by scientific experts, who are independent of ministers. They do so on the basis of the quality of research and the strength and reputation of the research group. This tried and tested formula has seen the emergence of some of the world's highest ranking research universities.
It has also meant that the UK leads in many areas of science. With less than 1% of the world's population the UK produces 16% of top quality published research.
The new Science Minister, Jo Johnson, has signalled there may be a shift in research funding.
In his first major policy speech Mr Johnson has indicated that research funds could in future be distributed more widely across the UK. Currently nearly half of public science spending is concentrated in Oxford, Cambridge and London. He also indicated that there would be more emphasis on research to drive growth.
He chose to make his announcement in the north of England. Addressing an audience at the Rolls-Royce Factory of the Future, which is part of the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, he described his new strategy as "one nation science".
"The fact is, 46% of public investment in research goes to the Golden Triangle (internationally renowned universities in London, Oxford and Cambridge). We must and we will continue to fund research on the basis of excellence and ensure we are competing with the very best in the world," he said.
"But we do have to ensure we recognise that other parts of the country that have proven research excellence in their universities, and ensure we fund excellence wherever it is found in order to realise the productivity gains that we have seen in the Golden Triangle. To...

Summary: Critics of the present system of science funding say it's rather like modern football where the richest clubs are the most successful, which makes them even richer enabling them to continue to be successful.

Article: The acceptance of the deal by unions will clear a big hurdle for the service which was due to begin last September.
The RMT's 10,000 members will start voting on 11 February.
The Night Tube service will take place on five lines - Jubilee, Victoria, Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines - on Fridays and Saturdays.
More on this story and other news from London
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.
The RMT union is still in talks with London Underground over a planned strike this weekend over the issue of job losses.

Article: Patrick O'Flynn, who is standing down as economics spokesman, claims the "centrist approach" advocated by him and others "is falling by the wayside".
The ex-journalist made the announcement as nominations are set to close in the contest to replace leader Paul Nuttall.
Mr Nuttall quit after UKIP failed to win any seats in the general election.
Mr O'Flynn also resigned as economics spokesman in 2015 after he described former UKIP leader Nigel Farage as "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive" - remarks for which he later apologised.
Announcing his most recent departure, he said: "I have always argued for UKIP to be at the commonsense centre of politics, rather than defined as on the right-wing.
"It is clear to me that UKIP's activist base wishes to go in a more libertarian, shrink-the-state and Thatcherite direction.
"It is regrettable that the more centrist approach argued by the likes of me and Suzanne Evans is falling by the wayside."
Mr O'Flynn, who will continue to serve as an MEP, said he was proud of the role he played in bringing about Brexit.
His decision to step down comes a day before the 28 July deadline for leadership nominations.
UKIP MEP Bill Etheridge withdrew his leadership bid on Wednesday, with a call for "libertarian" candidates to unite against hard-liners using the party "as a vehicle for the views of the EDL and the BNP".
He also called on Mr Farage to make clear which leadership candidate had his support.
Figures who have declared their intention to run include: Scottish leader David Coburn, MEP Jane Collins, London Assembly members Peter Whittle and David Kurten, Sharia Watch director Ann Marie Waters, former UKIP councillor Ben Walker, former Kent police and crime commissioner candidate Henry Bolton and direct democracy activist John Rees-Evans, who came third in the last contest.
The full line-up in the race to succeed Mr Nuttall is not expected to be announced until several days after nominations close.

Article: Roy Devine told a council meeting on Tuesday that the airport will not break even until 2021/22.
It is currently running at a Â£2.145m loss per year, paid for by Derry City and Strabane District Council ratepayers.
While this subsidy has reduced by Â£1m since 2010, a further Â£1.3m is owed in charges on historic capital loans.
Mr Devine said that they were in discussions with other airlines to try to attract new routes to the airport, following a number of recent losses.
They have included routes from Derry to Birmingham and Alicante, while a proposed Derry-Dublin Citywings flight was scrapped last month following the Brexit vote.
Mr Devine told the meeting that an "over-supply" of airline routes flying to and from Belfast, an increase in business rates incurred by the airport and cash-strapped customers in the region were all pressing challenges.
"I do acknowledge things are challenging at the moment but we do believe there are better days ahead and we would ask council to stay with us," he added.
"I think the airport is vital to the infrastructure of the north west. I think the city would be poorer without having it."
Mr Devine added that extra costs outlined in a new five year business plan related to money needed to cover staff wages, and cover the recent loss of the Birmingham route.
However, Independent councillor Paul Gallagher said the airport now looked like "a vanity project for this area", the "burden" of which is being endured by ratepayers.
"As a business plan, I would say this concedes more than it gives. It concedes that we need to pay airlines to attract routes and that there is an inability to attract funding and attract and maintain new routes," Mr Gallagher said.
"CODA (City of Derry Airport) cannot keep coming back to this area and just looking for subvention, subvention, subvention."
Those comments were dismissed by SDLP councillor, John Boyle.
"We need connectivity; we have a very poor roads network here. For anyone to say we should give up and wave the white flag, to my mind would be...

Summary: City of Derry Airport will not generate a profit for the next five years, according to the company's chairman.

Article: The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) has removed it from the Google Play store and is advising existing users to find alternatives.
South Korea mandated in April that all children's phones must be monitored.
However, the regulator said the decision to suspend the app had been made prior to the release of a damning report about its security.
The KCC told news agency AP that the decision had been made because of the abundance of free apps now available.
Smart Sheriff had been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times inside the country and was created by a group of telecoms companies known as the Korean Mobile Internet Business Association (Moiba).
Two reports issued, one by the University of Toronto and the other by software auditing firm Cure53, described Smart Sheriff's security as "catastrophic".
The report authors found that children's personal details were not stored securely and that the parental filters applied were easy to disable.
"Smart Sheriff is the kind of babysitter that leaves the doors unlocked and throws a party where everyone is invited," said independent researcher Colin Anderson, who worked on the report, at the time.
Moiba said the vulnerabilities had already been fixed by the time the report was published.

Summary: Smart Sheriff, a popular app in South Korea for monitoring children's online activities has been pulled.

BBC Wales economics editor Sarah Dickins joined an economist at a funfair in Rhyl, one of Wales' most deprived communities.
Professor Karel Williams, of Manchester Business School, says devolution has been "something of a non-event" in economic terms with Welsh ministers relying on growth from a trickle down from a booming south east of England.
He believes rather than powers Wales has been lacking in imaginative policy ideas.
"Some risk is justified because the mainstream orthodoxy of the last 30 years isn't working, it's time for a bit of boldness and imagination," he said.

Celebrity website TMZ.com said the pair were in fear of their lives.
On Wednesday it emerged they will not be employed to do the Oscars job again.
But TMZ.com reported that they will not lose their accountancy jobs.
PwC spokeswoman Carey Bodenheimer said that they had been given protection after their home addresses and photos of their families were published in the media.

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: The names and pictures of an estimated 150 million Facebook members were used in Sponsored Stories, but only those who responded to an email from the site earlier this year will be compensated.
Privacy organisations will also receive some of the $20m (£12.9m) settlement.
Facebook said it was "pleased" the settlement had been approved.
The payout was approved by a US court on Monday following a class action filed against Facebook in 2011 by five of its users.
The group said their details had been used to promote products and services through the site's Sponsored Stories programme, without paying them or giving them the choice to opt-out.
A Sponsored Story is a tailored advertisement that appears on members' Facebook pages, highlighting products a user's friends have endorsed or "liked" on the site.
US District Judge Richard Seeborg acknowledged that the $15 payments were relatively small, but said it had not been established that Facebook had "undisputedly violated the law".
He added that the claimants could not prove they were "harmed in any meaningful way".
The court estimated that Facebook had made about $73m (£47m) in profit from the Sponsored Stories featuring details of the 150 million members.
The settlement also requires Facebook to make changes to its "Statement of Rights" and to give users more information and control over how their details are used in the future.
This move was estimated by the plaintiff's lawyers to cost Facebook $145m in advertising revenue.
Approximately 7,000 Facebook users opted out of the settlement altogether, allowing them to bring their own legal action against the social network.
A Facebook spokesperson said: "We are pleased that the settlement has received final approval."

Summary: Approximately 614,000 Facebook users whose personal details appeared in ads on the site without their permission will each receive a $15 (£9.65) payout.

Article: The Civil Aviation Authority's (CAA) centre was opened after the 1972 Staines plane crash was partly blamed on a pilot's heart condition.
Dr Michael Joy, the first consultant at the centre, said the closure was not in the interest of aviation safety.
The CAA said other independently run centres were available to pilots, including in the Gatwick area.
Dr Joy said: "I think this is corporate vandalism.
"The pool of expertise built up over a generation is going to be dispersed and that cannot be in the interest of aviation safety, and it cannot be in the interest of the pilots."
A CAA spokesman said: "It was felt that the CAA should not be both a service provider and regulator of medical services.
"All requirements relating to pilot and air traffic controllers' medical examinations and fitness standards are set at a European-wide level and these will remain unchanged regardless of who provides medical services."
In 1972 a British European Airways Flight BE548 crashed in a field shortly after takeoff, killing all 118 people on board - at the time one of the UK's worst air disasters.
One of the underlying causes of the crash was the captain's health, a public inquiry found.
Capt Stanley Key had a heart condition which had lead to a "lack of concentration and impaired judgement", the official report said.
The crash led to the setting up of what is now known as the CAA's Aeromedical Centre.
Mervyn Granshaw, a former pilot from Surrey said; "The whole process of aero-medicine has evolved over the 30 years that it's been a centre of excellence."
The centre is due to close on 29 February.

Article: The researcher said other details had also been taken that would let attackers pinpoint where the equipment was being used, making more targeted hacks possible.
Pen Test Partners' Ken Munro wants thousands of routers to be replaced.
But TalkTalk said it had not seen evidence to confirm the thefts.
"As is widely known, the Mirai worm is affecting many ISPs [internet service providers] around the world and it has affected a small number of TalkTalk customers," a spokeswoman said.
"We continue to take steps to review any potential impacts and have deployed a variety of solutions to ensure customers' routers remain safe.
"We have also employed additional network-level controls to further protect our customers."
The BBC revealed last week that TalkTalk's D-Link DSL-3780 routers had been struck by malware causing connectivity issues for those customers using the model.
The firm subsequently published advice online telling affected users to reset the equipment - which forced it to install an update to protect itself against the attack - and then "use the wireless network name and password on the back of the router" to get back online.
Security researcher Mr Munro obtained one of the affected routers to study the attack.
He said his "honeypot" router was hit by the variant of Mirai, which is now being referred to as TR-06FAIL.
But in addition to the connectivity issue, Mr Munro detected that a follow-up attack involving the same malware caused the device to disclose its wi-fi password and Service Set Identifier (SSID) code.
An SSID code can be used to reveal where a machine is located via online tools such as Wigle.
As a consequence, he said, even after subscribers had restarted their routers they could remain at risk if they continued using the same password as before.
"Most consumers never change the wi-fi keys written on the back of their router, so the fix didn't actually fix the problem," Mr Munro explained.
"Once an attacker has got the wi-fi key, if they go near to the house they can get nearly everything from...

Article: Councillor Bob Badham resigned on Wednesday, soon after Helen Smith, Director of Children's Services, following the release of the report.
Ofsted inspectors found the department to be "inadequate" and failing vulnerable children in the area.
Councillor Simon Hackett has taken over from Mr Badham and said he was determined to improve the service.
"I see it as a challenge and something we can turn around. Like everyone else, a few days ago I read the report and frankly it was awful," he said.
During an inspection in February Ofsted found families of vulnerable children were insufficiently supported by the council and in some cases were at risk of "significant harm".
The local authority said it was aware of failings in the department and was taking action to improve performance.
It said 70 extra social workers had been taken on last year and it was improving relations between staff and the police.
The council said it had also started to work with a private sector partner, iMPOWER to improve services.
Mr Hackett said he was planning to spend time in each part of the department, looking at it from the perspective of a child or young person.
It is not the first time the council has been criticised by Ofsted over the service.
Sandwell Children's Services was judged to be "inadequate" in 2009, but following an inspection in January 2012 it was found to have improved and was rated "adequate".

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.

Summary:


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

Article: Leader Angela Merkel called it "a good day", while markets rallied in relief.
But the Constitutional Court imposed conditions including a cap on Germany's contribution, which it said could only be overruled by the German parliament.
Critics had argued that the ESM commits Germany to potentially unlimited funding of debt-ridden eurozone states.
Some 37,000 people had signed a petition to the court asking it to block the ESM, and make it subject to a referendum.
Since Germany is due to contribute 27% of the fund, it cannot proceed without German ratification.
But, after weeks of deliberation, the court's Chief Justice Andreas Vosskuhle said it "rejected the injunctions", since there was a "high probability" that the ESM did not violate the constitution.
By Stephen EvansBBC News, Berlin
You could see the relief clearly:  charts for stock prices jumped the moment the judgement was made public.
The positive sentiment was as much about what didn't happen as what did. If the panel of judges had blocked the ESM, there is little doubt that it would have halted the bailouts of eurozone countries in difficulty, and financial markets would have taken it badly.
The judgement, though, is qualified.  The most significant string attached is that any raising of Germany's contribution could only be done with the full consent of parliament.
In the current political climate, there would be much opposition to any more money from Berlin.  A recent poll showed that more than half of Germans wanted the judges to block the ESM, so there is no mood for digging deeper into pockets, should it be necessary.
However, he said ratification of the treaty could only be allowed under certain conditions.
He continued: "No rule of the treaty must be interpreted in a way which would result in higher payment obligations by Germany, without the consent of the German representative."
Correspondents said that meant that any future increase in the size of the 500bn-euro (Â£400bn) fund, or of Germany's contribution, could only be permitted with the...

Article: FRP Advisory were appointed as administrators after the European Development Company (EDC) ran into financial difficulties.
Two of the hotels for sale are in the Aberdeen area - a Holiday Inn Express on Chapel Street and a Holiday Inn in Westhill.
The third is a Holiday Inn Express in Picardy Place, Edinburgh.
FRP said they would trade as normal during the marketing process.
They added that there were no immediate plans for redundancies.
Nearly 120 of the 136 staff affected are based at the Aberdeen hotels.
In a statement, FRP Advisory said occupancy levels at the hotels had been high, but EDC had suffered "severe cash flow problems" as a result of the downturn in the oil and gas sector.
They also cited intense price competition from new build hotels in the Aberdeen market.
Joint administrator Iain Fraser said: "The administration presents a rare opportunity to acquire quality hotels with an established trade and reputation in their local markets.
"The hotels could appeal to an existing hotel operator looking to expand their business, or an entrepreneur keen to enter the hospitality market by acquiring quality properties in prime locations.
"I am pleased to say that we are in advanced discussions for the sale of the Edinburgh hotel, and would urge interested parties to contact us as soon as possible with respect to the Aberdeen properties."

Article: Greg Wallace, of Best Start Federation schools in Hackney, east London, was accused of awarding contracts worth more than Â£1m to C2 Technology, a company run by a friend.
He was banned for a minimum of two years by the Department for Education (DfE) in 2013.
The court ruled a "less intrusive measure" should have been implemented.
A panel of judges said there was a public interest in maintaining his "exceptional contribution to education".
Previously, former education secretary Michael Gove described Mr Wallace as one of a "magnificent seven" of head teachers running outstanding schools in deprived areas.
He was not initially banned, but the DfE overruled a recommendation from the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) that a ban should not be imposed because of his "inspirational example" as an educator.
Mr Wallace was accused of awarding contracts without seeking approval from school governors to a firm owned by a friend and partner, and attempting to cover up evidence by deleting emails.
He was also accused of receiving payments from the firm, including one of Â£4,000.
Mr Wallace went to the High Court in a statutory appeal against the DfE's insistence on a teaching ban.
He won his case in a ruling handed down in Birmingham by Mr Justice Holgate on Friday.

Summary: A "super head" has won a High Court appeal against a teaching ban following allegations of financial mismanagement.

Article: It was launched back in October 2012 as one of the key elements in the eurozone's defences against a deepening debt crisis.
But what exactly is the ESM and how does it work?
The European Stability Mechanism is a European Union agency that provides financial assistance, in the form of loans, to eurozone countries or as new capital to banks in difficulty.
It is a permanent agency, based in Luxembourg, and has replaced the temporary European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF).
The ESM has a maximum lending capacity of  €500bn ($550bn; £360bn).
It  borrows in the financial markets, by selling bonds, the same method that governments use for most of their borrowing needs.
The financial foundation of the ESM is capital provided by the eurozone governments. They have committed in principle to a total of €700bn, although they have actually paid in just €80bn. The additional capital can be called in if it is needed.
The capital is NOT the money used for providing assistance. It absorbs any losses if countries receiving help fail to repay it. It provides a reassurance to investors in the financial markets that they can lend to the ESM (by buying its bonds) and be confident of being repaid.  That confidence is vital for keeping the ESM's credit rating high and its borrowing costs low.
Germany provides 27% of the capital, France 20% and Italy 18%.
No. The UK does, however, indirectly contribute to eurozone bailouts where there is a contribution from the IMF. It also made a bilateral contribution in the case of the Republic of Ireland.  The UK is, also indirectly, potentially affected by any losses incurred by yet another bailout agency - called the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM). It contributed to the bailouts of Ireland and Portugal.
The ESM can lend directly to governments. It can also buy their debts (bonds) either directly when they are first issued or in the financial markets.
In addition, the ESM can support banks directly. This support would be "recapitalisation", usually by providing funds in...

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.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
"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."
Worries about the economic impact of leaving the EU were also blamed for a big fall in Asian stock markets. Japan's Nikkei index closed 3.5% down, while Hong Kong's main index slid 2.5%.

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

Article: The unexpected discovery indicates there are large volumes of the gas contained in a type of sludgy ice called methane hydrate.
There are concerns that these new seeps could be making a hitherto unnoticed contribution to global warming.
The scientists say there could be about 30,000 of these hidden methane vents worldwide.
Previous surveys along the Atlantic seaboard have shown only three seep areas beyond the edge of the US continental shelf.
The team behind the new findings studied what is termed the continental margin, the region of the ocean floor that stands between the coast and the deep ocean.
In an area between North Carolina and Massachusetts, they have now found at least 570 seeps at varying depths between 50m and 1,700m.
Their findings came as a bit of a surprise.

"It is the first time we have seen this level of seepage outside the Arctic that is not associated with features like oil or gas reservoirs or active tectonic margins," said Prof Adam Skarke from Mississippi State University, who led the study.
The scientists have observed streams of bubbles but they have not yet sampled the gas within them.
However, they believe there is an abundance of circumstantial evidence pointing to methane.
Most of the seeping vents were located around 500m down, which is just the right temperature and pressure to create a sludgy confection of ice and gas called methane hydrate, or clathrate.
The scientists say that the warming of ocean temperatures might be causing these hydrates to send bubbles of gas drifting through the water column.
They do not appear to be reaching the surface.
"The methane is dissolving into the ocean at depths of hundreds of metres and being oxidised to CO2," said Prof Skarke.
"But it is important to say we simply don't have any evidence in this paper to suggest that any carbon coming from these seeps is entering the atmosphere."
This research, though, does highlight the scale of methane that is under the waters.
Estimates suggest that these undersea...

Summary: Researchers say they have found more than 500 bubbling methane vents on the seafloor off the US east coast.

Article: The workers, who represent about 15% of the airline's cabin crew, were balloted about the plan to strike at Heathrow.
The vote comes after cabin crew rejected a 2% pay rise.
Strike action could begin after 21 December, but Unite has not confirmed whether the strike would affect travellers over Christmas.
BA said Unite was "creating uncertainty" for passengers.
Tensions have been running high over pay and conditions at the airline.
Some 79% of crew that took part in the ballot voted for action, Unite said, urging British Airways to return to the negotiating table.
The dispute concerns about 4,000 staff who have joined the airline since 2010 on "Mixed Fleet" contracts, who do not feel they are paid enough. About  2,500 of them are Unite members.
Earnings were advertised between £21,000 and £25,000 but, in reality, start at just over £12,000 plus £3 an hour flying pay, Unite said.
"Not surprisingly, the crew have rejected a 2% pay offer and on-board customer service managers are furious," the union said.
"They do not have collective bargaining rights. The managers have also endured a six-year pay freeze."
According to a recent Unite survey, half of Mixed Fleet staff have taken on second jobs to make ends meet, and more than two-thirds were going to work "unfit to fly" because they could not afford to be off sick.
It said 84% reported experiencing stress and depression since joining BA because of their financial circumstances.
Some even admitted sleeping in cars between flights, because they could not afford the petrol to get home.
Unite regional officer Matt Smith said: "Not only are the pay rates indefensible, but in aviation, low pay is a safety issue."
A BA spokesman said: "We are extremely disappointed that the union is creating uncertainty for our customers.
"Mixed Fleet Unite represents about 15% of our cabin crew. We remain focused on resolving this issue as quickly as possible without any disruption to customers."
The spokesman added: "We have proposed a fair and reasonable pay increase to Mixed Fleet...

Summary: About 2,000 British Airways cabin crew have voted overwhelmingly for strikes in a dispute over pay, the Unite union said.

Article: The console, currently priced in the UK at Â£429, with a bundled game, will drop to Â£399 on Friday and will include major title Titanfall in the package.
So far, the drop will only apply to the UK.
The new cost brings the console in line with the price of Sony's PlayStation 4, which is outselling Microsoft's machine.
However, the PlayStation 4 can be bought without a game for Â£349.
"The reason we're doing this is that we're committed to giving gamers the best value that we can," said Harvey Eagle, Xbox's marketing director in the UK.
"We're only a few months into a generation of consoles that are going to last for many many years to come," he added.
"And now just feels like the right time to make the adjustment on the price."
Industry figures suggest that the PlayStation 4 is outselling the Xbox One by around two to one, with 5.3 million of Sony's machines being sold worldwide.
However, Microsoft is keen to point out that compared with their previous console, the Xbox 360, the newer model has enjoyed a "record-breaking" launch, and that sales of games have been strong.
The new, cheaper bundle will include a copy of Titanfall - a major title that Microsoft expects will significantly drive sales of the console.
Titanfall is not out until 14 March, and so people buying consoles at the cheaper price before that date will not be able to the play the game until it is released.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Eagle defended the price change coming so soon after the console's release - and thanked those who had bought the machine early.
"We're hugely appreciative," he said.
"We would like to thank all of the people that have supported us since launch."
The Xbox One's higher launch price was attributed in part to the inclusion of its Kinect hardware - the motion tracker that allows gamers to play without a physical controller.
However, analysts argued that while an impressive piece of technology, the Kinect does not yet offer enough innovative uses to tempt people into the extra cost.
"You've got this Kinect device...

Summary: Microsoft is to drop the price of its new Xbox One console - just over three months after its release.

Article: Welshman Williams' "great moment" with a spectacular counter-attack set up a length-of-field try for Sean O'Brien.
But the full-back spilled two high kicks, leading to a home try and penalty.
"I think if he was assessing it [performance] himself he'd say it was mixed," said Gatland.

"There were a couple of great moments and in that role you've got to be really accurate in the air.
"And we've lost a couple where it's come forward and and then one that's gone through the hands towards the end of the game.
"Look, we've just got to make sure that you're 100% accurate, that you're in control of the things that you're able to make sure that you're able to do.
"The disappointing thing for me - we've put them under a bit of pressure, kicked three points and then haven't taken the kick off and from that they've kicked three points straight away.
"And those are things we can make sure we're better at next week."
Before the game Gatland hoped his surprise inclusion Liam Williams would avoid a "brain explosion", referring to the player's sin-binning on his Lions debut against the Blues.
In attack, Williams responded by running out of defence to set up O'Brien's response to the All Blacks taking the early initiative.
"I love playing 15, and I love having the ball in hand and I love having a run," said Williams.
"There are times when you have to stick it long or go up to the air.
"It was on, and I had a go and at the end of that move we had scored in the left-hand corner.
"I looked up, I saw a bit of space and I just stuck my head down."
He added: "This was the biggest game of my life, and an absolute honour just to be out there on the pitch with the boys, but there are ups and downs.
"We switch off for a second, and we turn around and they are under the sticks.
"We will look back at the video, dust ourselves down and come back next week."

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.
BBC News NI Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney
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.
"We will not be providing a running commentary on our progress but will provide updates as and when appropriate."
Earlier, an Irish parliament (Dáil) committee was told a former Nama adviser was in line for a £5m payment after the sale of Nama's property loan portfolio in Northern Ireland.
US investment firm, Pimco, pulled out of the tender bidding process after discovering the fee arrangement to Nama's former adviser, Frank Cushnahan.
The revelation came during a hearing of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
It is examining Nama's sale of its 850-property NI portfolio last year.

Article: Mobile network Verizon told Fortune magazine that it planned to divert calls made via the phones so that they reached its staff instead.
It follows dozens of reports of the devices overheating and in some cases bursting into flames.
Samsung is expected to reveal the cause of the problem on Monday.
It pulled the product from the market and cancelled further production in October after an earlier botched recall and re-release.
US operators had already released a software update intended to prevent Note 7s from being able to recharge and connect to their networks.
But Verizon said that thousands of its customers had still not returned the devices, possibly because they had managed to prevent the firmware from being installed.
"The recalled Note 7s pose a safety risk to our customers and those around them," it told Fortune.
It said it would still allow 911 calls to connect to the emergency service, but all other calls would be redirected to its employees, who would demand the return of the handsets.
Customers who refused might be billed the full retail cost of the device, it added.
"This is all about liability," commented Ben Wood from the CCS Insight tech consultancy.
"People may be willing to accept the risk now, but that could change if they experience a catastrophic incident like it burns down their house or seriously injures someone.
"Samsung and the operators have no option but to put whatever measures in place they can to try and retrieve all the remaining devices."

The 22-year-old will aim to scale Moel Famau, on the Flintshire-Denbighshire border, on Sunday.
If successful, he will have climbed the equivalent of 13 Mount Everests.
He said: "A big thanks for all my friends and supporters from all over north Wales who encouraged me so brilliantly over the past few months and who've been so generous."
Mr Staniforth previously became the youngest person to complete the Three Peaks Challenge and has twice attempted to scale Everest.
He abandoned his last bid to reach the world's highest summit in 2015, after an avalanche left three of his friends dead.
Mr Staniforth, who sets off at 11:30 BST, is carrying out the latest series of climbs in aid of mental health charity, Young Minds UK, and has so far raised Â£15,000.

Article: President Francois Hollande says France is "at war" with so-called Islamic State (IS).
Here we look at the international impact of the attacks and the lessons the authorities are trying to draw from it.
Are the attacks over?
It is too early to say. But there was a breakthrough on Thursday - it was confirmed that the suspected ringleader, IS militant Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in a police raid in Saint-Denis, northern Paris.
His fingerprints were formally identified from remains found in a Saint-Denis apartment, where a group of militants fiercely resisted anti-terror police early on Wednesday.
France is urgently hunting another leading suspect - Salah Abdeslam, who hired one of the cars used in the attacks. Salah's brother Brahim blew himself up in Boulevard Voltaire during Friday's attacks.
French media have reported that nine militants carried out the attacks, and we know that seven died on Friday night. So it is possible that another attacker - as well as Salah Abdeslam - is still at large.
There has also been speculation that the militants killed and detained in Saint-Denis with Abdelhamid Abaaoud were planning to attack La Defense - an upmarket Paris business district - and Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, though no evidence has been provided.
Two men were arrested in the apartment in Saint-Denis and six other people nearby, so police may get some key information from them.

How was the plot hatched?
French authorities believe that IS in Syria decided to launch the attacks, and that the operation was planned in Belgium, probably in Molenbeek, a Brussels district known for high unemployment, social problems and a mixed immigrant population.
IS said its militants had attacked Paris in order to punish "crusader" France for its air strikes against "Muslims in the lands of the Caliphate" - their language for Iraq and Syria.

Article: US researchers have discovered that some people who are overweight have hidden fat inside their bones that could make them weak and prone to fractures.
The Harvard Medical School team in Boston did body scans on 106 obese but healthy men and women.
The findings are published in the journal Radiology.
The scans reveal some people carry fat in hidden places like the liver, muscles and bone marrow as well as their belly, hips or thighs.
Dr Miriam Bredella, who carried out the work, says apple-shaped people who carry weight around their waist may be at greatest risk.
The bone marrow is where the cells responsible for new bone formation -  osteoblast cells - live.
Dr Bredella reasons that if more of the marrow is taken over by fat cells then this will weaken the bones.
She said: "If you have a spine that's filled with fat, it's not going to be as strong.
"Obesity was once thought to be protective against bone loss. We have found that this is not true."
Given that none of us can choose where we put on weight, the only answer is to stay slim, say the researchers.
Almost three million people in the UK are estimated to have osteoporosis. The condition is normally associated with being slight of frame and frail.
Bone marrow fat has been found in higher-than-normal levels in people who have osteoporosis.

Summary: Obesity may be a risk factor for the frail bone disease osteoporosis, a study suggests.

Summary:


Belfast City Council has said a BBC relocation to a site beside the Ulster University campus would lead to a "comprehensive transformation" of that part of the city.

Article: Labour just held on to the seat by 11,633 to 11,016 votes.
Mr Miliband said UKIP voters did not think the parties listened to them, or that the country represented them.
And he predicted the next election would be a fight against "disillusionment and despair".
Speaking in Heywood, where he congratulated winning candidate Liz McInnes, Mr Miliband said Labour had changed and realised it was "not prejudiced" to worry about immigration.
But he said he did not think UKIP could "represent the interests of working people" because they wanted to cut taxes for the rich.
Earlier he promised Labour would not have "a shred of complacency" after avoiding a shock defeat.
He said the Conservatives were in retreat in the North West and had lost to UKIP in "their own back yard" of Clacton in the other by-election.
Ms McInnes got 41% of the vote, up slightly on Labour's share at the 2010 election.
John Bickley, for UKIP, came second with 39% of the vote - up from 3% in 2010. The Conservatives got 12% of votes, down from 27% in 2010 and the Lib Dems 5%, down from 23%.
Ms McInnes said she was proud to have been elected, saying "our vote held up, but we had not anticipated the Tory vote collapsing quite so dramatically".
She added: "Our core voters turned out. We didn't take anyone's votes for granted and we have run a very strong positive campaign."
Veteran Labour MP Frank Field said the result in Heywood and Middleton meant that "all bets were off" for Labour at next year's general election.
But Mr Field said: "If last night's vote heralds the start of UKIP's serious assault into Labour's neglected core vote, all bets are off for safer, let alone marginal seats at the next election."
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the surge in support for UKIP underlined "the scale of the challenge to traditional politics".
Mr Alexander said both the Heywood and Middleton and Clacton by-election results showed none of the three main political parties could "deploy the tools of traditional party politics".
He told BBC Radio 4's...

Article: She spoke out after the Greens lost four councillors in local elections across England and failed to make significant gains in Wales.
Ms Bennett said they had lost "great councillors" in Oxford and Norwich.
The best Green showing came in Scotland where the separate Scottish Green Party now has six MSPs.
The results pushed the Lib Dems into fifth place after the most successful showing for the Scottish Greens since 2003.
The Green Party secured its best ever result in the London mayoral election, with candidate Sian Berry coming in third with 5.8% of the vote - up from 4.48% in 2012.
It also claimed third place in the London Assembly elections, equal to UKIP and ahead of the Lib Dems, with two London Assembly members, Caroline Russell and Ms Berry.
Elsewhere in England the Greens held six seats on Oxford City Council, but lost two, while numbers in Norwich have fallen from 14 to 10.
Ms Bennett told the BBC: "I'm very disappointed to lose some really great councillors obviously, in Oxford and Norwich, but if you look around the country, there are really positive stories, particularly in the West Midlands.
"In Solihull, Chris Williams got 75% in the vote in his seat, which is what you could call a ringing endorsement.
"More broadly, Worcester Council... fell from Tory to no overall control and there Louis Stephen fought a brilliant campaign with the Tories throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it and he won that seat... with some great ideas."
"We're very much looking to the Scottish Greens who have had a good night, doubling their representation in Holyrood, electing some great people - Andy Wainwright, a real campaign reformer - and also Ross Greer [aged 21], who's going to be the youngest MSP in the Scottish Parliament."
Voting system
The results for London were "looking very good", following Green candidate Sian Berry's "very positive campaign" compared with that of Zac Goldsmith, which Ms Bennett said had been "99% Lynton Crosby and 1% ecologist".

Article: As with other militants operating in the Sahel desert region that crosses the borders of Algeria, Mali, Niger and Mauritania, details of his life were hard to confirm.
But he gained a reputation as one of AQIM's most feared and radical commanders, held responsible for murdering hostages, and for imposing ruthless Islamist rule on the historic Malian city of Timbuktu.
He was said to be close to AQIM leader Abdelmalek Droukdel, and was given a prominent role in the group's activities in the Sahara.
Thought to be in his late 40s, Abou Zeid sometimes used an alias, Mosab Abdelouadoud, and also had a nickname, the little emir, that referred to his short stature.
The Algerian media raised doubts over his legal name, identifying him as either Abid Hamadou or Mohamed Ghedir.
Abou Zeid fought in the Islamist insurgency in the 1990s in his home country, Algeria. He became a member of a Salafist organisation known as the Group for Call and Combat (GSPC), which in 2007 changed its name to AQIM.
In recent years AQIM, suffering setbacks at the hands of the Algerian military in the north, focused more of its efforts in southern Algeria and across its desert borders.
Abou Zeid was reputedly involved in the smuggling networks that proliferate in the area, as well as playing a key role in a series of kidnappings of Western hostages that raised tens of millions of dollars in ransom money.
He has been linked to the killing of British hostage Edwin Dyer in 2009 and that of Frenchman Michel Germaneau the following year.
One hostage who was released, former Canadian diplomat Robert Fowler, recounted in a book how Abou Zeid refused to give medicine to two other hostages who were suffering from dysentery, and one of whom had been bitten by a scorpion.
After Islamist groups seized control of northern Mali in 2012, Abou Zeid is said to have taken command of Timbuktu.
The Islamists sought to impose an extreme form of Sharia, destroying Sufi shrines and carrying out amputations.
They were forced back after the French military launched an...

Article: Jovenel Moise, a 48-year-old banana exporter, was sworn in at a ceremony at the National Assembly.
His predecessor, Michel Martelly, stood down a year ago at the end of his term, and was replaced by an interim president while rival political parties disputed the result of the elections.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas.
It is still struggling to recover from a series of natural disasters, including a devastating earthquake that hit the capital, Port au Prince, seven years ago.
Mr Moise, who has never before held public office, was appointed by Mr Martelly in 2015 as his preferred candidate.
He won the October 2015 poll, but the election was annulled for alleged fraud.
Mr Martelly left office in February 2016, at the end of his five-year-term, passing on power to Senate President Jocelerme Privert.
A new election was held in November.
It was delayed by a month because of Hurricane Matthew, which destroyed 90% of some of Haiti's southern areas at the beginning of October.
Mr Moise won in the first round, with some 55% of the vote against 20% for his closest rival, Jude Celestin.
But the result is still being contested by the opposition, which held protests outside the National Assembly building.
He is due to lay out his plans for the next five years in a speech later on Tuesday.
Mr Moise and former president Martelly are both members of the centre-right Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party).

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.

Article: The "Westerlund 2" cluster of stars is located about 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina.
Hubble was launched on Space Shuttle Discovery on 24 April, 1990.
Engineers expect the observatory to keep operating for at least another five years.
"Even the most optimistic person to whom you could have spoken back in 1990 couldn't have predicted the degree to which Hubble would rewrite our astrophysics and planetary science textbooks," commented Nasa Administrator Charlie Bolden.
"A quarter of a century later, Hubble has fundamentally changed our understanding of our Universe and our place in it."
Famously, a flaw was found in the telescope's primary mirror soon after launch that blurred its images.
A smart fix was then installed by spacewalking astronauts in 1993 that allowed its instruments to correct for the aberration in the reflecting surface.
Four further servicing missions later, Hubble is in rude health and technically a far more capable observatory than when it was first put in orbit.
No more repair visits by astronauts are planned, but the latest assessment of its likely longevity is very encouraging.
In the past, Hubble has suffered from degradation in its six gyroscopes - the spinning devices that allow it to point very precisely at objects on the sky.
However, the current batch has experienced just the one failure - in March, 2014.
"The instrumentation on Hubble has been getting better with time, in the sense that we've been able to calibrate it better and know more about how the observatory is working," said Ken Sembach, interim deputy director at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
"It's also worth noting that two of the instruments repaired on the last servicing mission - the Advanced Camera for Surveys, and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph - are both working five years hereafter the servicing mission, which is longer than they worked originally with their original electronics.
"And so we have great hope that these two instruments, along with the two that were...

Article: In a country that is struggling with a record influx of migrants and refugees, it is perhaps unsurprising that this has dominated, but concerns have also been raised about the limits of satire.
One of the most shared images came from a carnival in a small municipality in southern Germany that featured a tank labelled "asylum defence" ("Asylabwehr").
Florian Simbeck, a German comedian and local politician, posted a picture of Sunday's display of the tank at a parade in the municipality of Steinkirchen in southern Germany. It was shared more than 2,500 times and started a debate about the morality of the display.
"I think it was in very bad taste and unacceptable. The tank should not have been permitted to the parade," Mr Simbeck told BBC News.
Other social media users said the tank was of satirical nature and should be seen as a sideswipe at Alternative for Germany (AfD), a right-wing populist party.
Mr Simbeck, who first posted the picture, said that satire needs a clear reference.
"Maybe it was not intended to cause any offence, but I could not just let the tank pass by without taking any action," he said.
Twitter user Robert Fietzke likened the tank to a float in Cologne's 1933 carnival parade that was titled "The last ones are leaving" ("Die Letzten ziehen ab") - a reference to Jewish emigration from Nazi Germany.
Several participants at the parade reported the incident to the police and prosecutors are now deliberating whether to open an investigation.
The head of the association responsible for the parade has apologised on German public television about the display.
In the central German state of Thuringia, police have opened an investigation into another controversial carnival float: a train titled "Balkan Express".
Critics say the term and the slogan on the train's front ("The plague is arriving") refers to the Balkan route taken by the majority of migrants arriving in Germany.

Article: Between 2011 and 2014, the five health trusts settled a total of 570 cases.
In many cases, the total amount paid to lawyers and other experts such as architects and accountants dwarfed the settlements to patients.
The total pay-out amounts to about £109m.
About a third of that was paid by the largest trust, Belfast.
In Wales, which has over one million more people than Northern Ireland, £184m was paid out in medical negligence claims over the same three-year period.
The Department of Health in Northern Ireland has defended the figure.
Alphy Maginness, from the department's directorate of legal services, told the BBC that a cap system is in place to ensure barristers employed by them cannot charge excessive fees.
The initiative began six years ago, when the legal department within the Business Service Organisation appointed their own barristers who would work for them under agreed terms and conditions.
The Business Services Organisation provides a broad range of support functions and specialist professional services to the health and social care sector in Northern Ireland.
"Part of the terms and conditions we agreed with the appointed barristers is that there would be a cap on fees and the cap relates not only to medical negligence actions but to other cases as well - primarily high value cases," Mr Maginness said.
"So if they are worth several million, for example, the cap kicks in where they earn a certain amount."
The largest number of medical negligence cases were taken against the Belfast Trust, which also carries out some of the most complex procedures.
However, in the three years up until December last year, the Belfast Trust did not have to pay any damages in almost 400 cases taken against it.
In the most recent and significant case, the trust paid out in what was described in court as a "landmark" £8m compensation settlement to a severely disabled teenager after his family sued it for medical negligence.
The Belfast Health Trust initially contested the case but after several years it admitted...

Summary: Almost £110m has been paid out on medical negligence cases and legal fees in Northern Ireland over a three-year period, figures obtained by the BBC have revealed.

Article: Dr Helen Nicoll, 53, was found dead at home in Frog End, Great Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire, on Friday.
Her husband and partner in their dental practice, Stephen Nicoll, 53, was arrested on suspicion of murder before being released on Tuesday.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mrs Nicoll died from asphyxiation.
Mr Nicoll was released by police with no further action and his bail cancelled.
The couple had three children and worked together in their clinic in Hurst Park, Cambridge while Mr Nicoll also practises in London's Harley Street.
Mr Nicoll said in a statement: "These last few days have been the worst of my life.
"Nobody can understand the true loss that my children and I have experienced following the discovery that my wife Helen has taken her own life.
"I would ask everybody, particularly the media, to respect our privacy and allow us to come to terms with our devastating loss and to begin the grieving process as a family following this tragedy."
He added his family had "fully co-operated" with police and his wife's death had been referred to the coroner.
Mr Nicoll's solicitor Paul Oliver said: "The arrest of Mr Nicoll in the immediate aftermath of the death of his beloved wife and the consequential media interest in this tragic case compounded the distress caused to him and his family.
"The police have confirmed Mr Nicoll is not a suspect and he and his family now ask that their right to grieve in private be respected."

Article: The main risk factors for the disease are a lack of exercise, smoking, depression and poor education, it says.
Previous research from 2011 put the estimate at one in two cases, but this new study takes into account overlapping risk factors.
Alzheimer's Research UK said age was still the biggest risk factor.
Writing in The Lancet Neurology, the Cambridge team analysed population-based data to work out the main seven risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
These are:
They worked out that a third of Alzheimer's cases could be linked to lifestyle factors that could be modified, such as lack of exercise and smoking.
The researchers then looked at how reducing these factors could affect the number of future Alzheimer's cases.
They found that by reducing each risk factor by 10%, nearly nine million cases of the disease could be prevented by 2050.
In the UK, a 10% reduction in risk factors would reduce cases by 8.8%, or 200,000, by 2050, they calculated.
Current estimates suggest that more than 106 million people worldwide will be living with Alzheimer's by 2050 - more than three times the number affected in 2010.
Prof Carol Brayne, from the Institute of Public Health at the University of Cambridge, said: "Although there is no single way to treat dementia, we may be able to take steps to reduce our risk of developing dementia at older ages.
"We know what many of these factors are, and that they are often linked.
"Simply tackling physical inactivity, for example, will reduce levels of obesity, hypertension and diabetes, and prevent some people from developing dementia.
"As well as being healthier in old age in general, it's a win-win situation."
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said there was still much to discover about the disease.
"While age is the biggest risk factor for most cases of Alzheimer's, there are a number of lifestyle and general health factors that could increase or decrease a person's chances of developing the disease.
"However, we still do not fully understand the...

Article: The answer, as you probably guessed, involves debating the Wales Bill, with Monday's committee stage ending at 11:12pm.
The Lords don't, by tradition, have votes during committee stages. Instead, amendments are introduced, moved and debated before being withdrawn after peers have had the chance to find out if ministers might change their mind later during the legislative process - or whether there is such a groundswell of support to change the Bill that the government might be defeated.
Peers spent an hour of that time debating whether a referendum should be held before the Welsh Government gets the power to vary income tax rates.
The law, as it now stands, says there should be a plebiscite but the Wales Bill scraps that requirement, much to the annoyance of Welsh Labour grandees Lords Hain, Murphy and Kinnock.
The debate, perhaps inevitably, featured reflections, prompted by recent experience, on the recent nature of referendums. Lord Kinnock spoke of his own bruises and scars from the Brexit vote, but argued referendums were justifiable in a parliamentary democracy "when there is a proposal to change the way in which we are governed".
He argued that the proposal to give Wales tax-varying powers was made "in the absolutely certain and cynical knowledge that it would not be exercised" and that there "was and is no evident support among the public for the idea of income tax-raising or income tax-varying powers to be allocated to the Welsh Assembly".
Wales Office Minister Lord Bourne disagreed, telling peers: "I strongly and sincerely believe that if we were to have a referendum, it would be carried".
Former Labour MP Lord Howarth of Newport, suggested the Conservatives were "sliding away" from a clear manifesto commitment to only devolve tax powers after a referendum.
The Welsh Conservative manifesto referred to the issue in a passage on what politicians call "fair funding". It said:  "We will do this by putting in place a floor in the level of relative Welsh Government funding in the expectation that the...

Article: Labor said PM Tony Abbott's offer of a same-sex marriage plebiscite next year was nothing but a "delaying tactic".
The attack comes as Mr Abbott faces criticism within his own ranks about how he has handled the issue.
On Tuesday, he blocked a free vote for government MPs on any same-sex marriage bills but said the issue should be "put to the people" after the next election.

Labor leader Bill Shorten called on all Coalition MPs in favour of same-sex marriage to keep lobbying the prime minister.
"The choice in this country is you either have Mr Abbott or you have marriage equality but you can't have both," he told reporters on Wednesday.
Mr Shorten has pledged to introduce same-sex marriage legislation within the first 100 days if Labor wins the next election, due in 2016.
Mr Abbott, who personally opposes same-sex marriage, on Wednesday said under Liberal Party policy, any government frontbenchers who defied the agreed position to oppose gay marriage would be sacked.
Backbench coalition MP Warren Entsch plans to introduce a cross-party bill next week to legalise same-sex marriage.
Mr Entsch, who has campaigned publicly for marriage equality, told local media he believed some of his colleagues would cross the floor to vote in favour of his bill.
"Absolutely I will be crossing the floor," he said, "but even with some support I don't think the support is there to see it succeed".
Analysis: Jon Donnison, BBC News, Sydney
The gay marriage issue in Australia is an interesting one, not least because Tony Abbott, and indeed politicians in general, are out of touch with public opinion.
Polls show the majority of Australians support same-sex marriage. And that's why it's a potentially dangerous issue for Mr Abbott who admits to feeling "a bit threatened" by homosexuality - even though his own sister Christine is a lesbian.
And it's not just the public Tony Abbott is out of sync with.
Some MPs within his own Liberal Party are in favour of legalising gay...

Article: Webb has not played since suffering a serious foot injury in a World Cup warm-up with Italy in September.
The 27-year-old says he is close to a return, giving him time to get fit before the Six Nations in February.
"I'm back up and running now and going through a pre-season sort of stage at the moment. It's all coming along well," he said.
"I'm going to take each week as it comes now and see where I am then.
"It's been talked about [returning] at the beginning of February, but I did ask the physios if they could scrape a couple of weeks off that and they said 'yes'."
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign away to Ireland in Dublin on Sunday, 7 February.
Webb, capped 16 times by Wales, has renewed his national dual contract with Ospreys and the Welsh Rugby Union.
He turned down offers from elsewhere to stay at the region for whom he made his debut in 2007.

Article: PC Simon Reynolds assaulted a 27-year-old man after the victim was arrested in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, in the early hours of 22 November, 2014.
He was found guilty of common assault after an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
Reynolds, 38, was sentenced at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The inquiry into Reynolds' conduct came after a referral to the police watchdog by Dyfed-Powys Police in December 2014.
It related to the assault of a man arrested outside Bar Luna in the town centre.
He was taken to hospital for treatment to a cut on his forehead after the incident, the IPCC said.
As well as the sentence, suspended for one year, Reynolds was ordered to pay Â£500 in prosecution costs, Â£250 in compensation and an Â£80 victim surcharge.
The watchdog said its report into the conduct of Reynolds and another officer had been passed to Dyfed-Powys Police.

Article: "At the moment there are still a lot of people who want to turn up," he told Grimmy on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show.
It's already been on the air for a decade, and with Simon returning to the judging line-up, it seems like there's still some life in The X Factor yet.
But what about in another 10 years? Or 20? Or more?
Simon seems to think it could go on indefinitely, so long as they keep finding great contestants.
So basically it's down to you. If you want The X Factor to remain on our screens for the rest of our lives, then keep turning up to those auditions.
And if you don't? Then send your boring mates.
"You've got to find great people and if they're all boring then it will run out of steam and then you may have to rest it and then bring it back," he said in his BBC interview.
So actually there's no way of stopping the juggernaut, a break is the most you're going to get.
Simon's also got a bigger pool of people to choose from, now that younger teenagers are allowed to audition.
"A lot of the really great kids now are 14, 15 years old and they probably know a lot more than the older contestants," he said.
"It's case by case. If they're really nervous or you've got some horrible stage mum pushing them on to the show, forget it.
"I would have done it. I would have been in a band in a shot."
In his interview with Nick Grimshaw, Simon also shared his critique of recent television series.
He and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman are fans of House of Cards, which surprised him to begin with.
"Normally when everyone tells me about how it is great, it's usually terrible, like those weirdo Game of Throne things, which I couldn't be bothered with," he said.

Article: The measures, introduced in 2012, were described as "unjustified" by the High Court last year - but three judges on Friday upheld the government's appeal.
They said the rules were "lawful".
The government said it was "delighted", while campaigners said the impact of the decision would be "devastating".
Under the new family migration policy only British citizens, or those with refugee status, who earn at least Â£18,600 a year can sponsor their non-European spouse's visa.
This rises to Â£22,400 for families with a child, and a further Â£2,400 for each extra child.
The  Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) policy had been challenged on the basis that the rules were discriminatory and interfered with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, the right to a private and family life.
In Friday's ruling, Lord Justice Aitkens said the 2013 judgement "was not correct".
He said relevant analysis had been carried out by the government before the measures were introduced and the judgement of the Home Secretary "cannot be impugned" in the case.
He added: "In my judgment it is not the court's job to impose its own view unless, objectively judged, the levels chosen are to be characterised as irrational, or inherently unjust or inherently unfair. In my view they cannot be."
Lawyers representing families affected by the MIR have sought leave to appeal.
Immigration and Security Minister James Brokenshire said he was "delighted" at Friday's ruling.
He added: "We welcome those who wish to make a life in the UK with their family, work hard and make a contribution, but family life must not be established in the UK at the taxpayer's expense and family migrants must be able to integrate.
"The minimum income threshold to sponsor family migrants is delivering these objectives and this judgment recognises the important public interest it serves."
A Home Office spokesman said 4,000 people whose applications have been on hold would now receive a decision from 28 July.
He added: "These are cases which met all the requirements apart from the minimum...

Article: North Wales Police claimed Owen Jones, 52, of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, was not fit to hold a firearms certificate after officers looked at his profile.
Mr Jones, who had held a licence for more than 30 years, appealed against the decision and won.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard on Friday that he was not a cause for concern despite the posts.
The hearing was told a senior police officer regarded the posts as "highly offensive", prompting the licence to be revoked.
Judge Niclas Parry said Mr Jones was ignorant about the subject of the Muslim faith, but added: "None of those messages were created by the appellant.
"The appellant has liked certain messages that appeared on his Facebook profile. He has then effectively re-published the message."

Article: Here at Russia's Star City centre near Moscow, he and two fellow astronauts endured three hours in a Soyuz simulator this morning.
Dressed in spacesuits, the three men clambered into the tiny capsule for a rehearsal of the end of their mission.
This is when the crew uncouple from the ISS and descend back to Earth.
Just before the exercise began, I suggested to Tim Peake that he looked far more sombre than he had during a big media day in London last week when he seemed to enjoy fielding light-hearted questions.
"It is a serious business," he said, sitting on the steps leading to the spacecraft.
"There's a fun side to space and what we do and the educational programmes we run but when it comes to actually getting into a Soyuz rocket - and the operational tasks that we have to perform - you need to be focused and serious."
Asked about the greatest challenges during the simulation, he said: "The most difficult thing to deal with is multiple failures.
"If you have just one failure then you can work through it as a crew. But if you have several it's much harder to keep track of all the problems."

Watching the process relayed by CCTV to the simulator control centre, all three of the astronauts looked busy and tense.
During the exercise, instructors created a series of pretend challenges including a leak in the spacesuit worn by US astronaut Tim Kopra, a slow leak of the capsule itself causing depressurisation - and at the same time a computer failure.
Emerging later, Tim Peake looked quite tired and slightly unsteady on his legs - a normal reaction after sitting hunched in such a confined space.
But he was pleased with the way the team had coped with the malfunctions that the instructors had faced them with - and was keen to emphasise how the training is a positive experience.
"I always feel more confident when I come out of the simulator - they throw these emergencies at you but we coped with them and we got back...

Article: Aviva has called for a new process that would force victims to put their claims directly to the insurer of the driver who caused the crash.
It suggests that the system would cut out middlemen who inflate the cost of claims.
However, one legal group said such a change would leave victims vulnerable.
"Putting the injured person entirely in the hands of the guilty party's insurer would create a profound conflict of interest," said the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
"Independent advice is key to preventing such a conflict and ensuring a fair outcome for the injured person."
Whiplash claims are a major factor behind the rapid rise in the price of motor cover. They account for 80% of injury claims, and most go through lawyers who have been charging sizeable fees, Aviva said.
Costs can rise even further as a result of referral fees paid by lawyers and claims management firms to breakdown firms, brokers and the insurers themselves - in exchange for providing information about accident victims.
Aviva suggested that all this accounted for £118 of a typical motor insurance premium.
The government has already given notice that it will ban referral fees and limit legal fees, but Aviva believes the cost could be cut further by putting a claim first to the "at fault" insurer.
The victims should then receive independent clinical advice and there should be a standard tariff of damages focused on care, rather than cash payments, according to Aviva.
Some 550,000 whiplash claims are made each year. Aviva estimates that up to 300,000 cases could be dealt with under its proposed system.
"Our primary concerns are that injured parties receive care and compensation as quickly as possible, and that all motorists benefit from a reduction in the excessive costs that have built up in claims over the past few years," said Dominic Clayden, claims director at Aviva.

Summary: The UK's biggest insurer has said that motorists' premiums could be cut by an average of £60 a year by changing the system of whiplash claims.

Article: The document includes improvements to equipment already in use as well as proposals for new technologies.
The list includes lasers and heat beams designed to disperse crowds, and nausea-inducing sound waves targeted at scuba divers.
Experts said the document acted as a "sales pitch" for continued funding.
The list - named the Non-Lethal Weapons Reference Book - is said to have been produced by the US Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD).
A copy of the report was obtained andpublished by "anti-secrecy" site Public Intelligence. The organisation has a track record of publishing US government documents relating to national security.
A spokeswoman for the US Department of Defense said she could neither confirm nor deny the document's authenticity.
Running to over 100 pages, the report details the characteristics of each weapon - as well as possible collateral damage and the policy implications of its use.
Typical effects of the weapons on the human body include temporary blindness, deafness and loss of movement.
One example, the Impulse Swimmer Gun, is described as being able to "suppress underwater swimmers and divers". It says an "underwater pulsed sound wave" affects a diver's hearing causing severe nausea.
The report noted "impact on aquatic life" as possible collateral damage. The weapon is marked as being in the "developmental" stage.
Of the more outlandish ideas, an entry for "Laser Based Flow Modification" details how lasers could be used to disrupt the aerodynamic flow around an aeroplane's wings, forcing an "enemy" plane to change direction.
Other non-lethal weapons said to be in development include:
The JNLWD was set up in 1996 with the goal of facilitating and deploying non-lethal weapons in the US military in the wake of US operations in Somalia and Bosnia.

Article: Scientists at the University of Aberdeen are working to find ways to prevent hackers enticing people into downloading malware.
Recent large-scale incidents included one that affected the NHS across the UK,  including Scottish health boards.
The researchers suggest hackers "exploit" certain human behaviour.
The scientists believe the main problem faced by big organisations is getting computer users to follow existing security policies.
The project will test how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and persuasion techniques can improve the way safety advice is followed.
The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has awarded the research team Â£756,000 towards their Supporting Security Policy with Effective Digital Intervention project, which now has total funding of more than Â£1m.
Dr Matthew Collinson, who is the principal investigator on the project, said: "If we look at most cyber security attacks, there is a weakness relating to human behaviour that hackers seek to exploit.
"Their most common approach, and the one we are most familiar with, is the use of phishing emails to entice a user to download malware on to their computer.
"One of the main problems faced by companies and organisations is getting computer users to follow existing security policies, and the main aim of this project is to develop methods to ensure that people are more likely to do so."
The project coincides with the launch of a new masters degree in AI at the university.

Summary: The way people respond to phishing emails and common cyber attacks will be the focus of a Â£1m university research project to improve online security.
