The report focuses on the impact of sea level rises on the Dawlish to Teignmouth line which connects Cornwall and Devon to the rest of the UK.
The line was closed for two months in 2014 after it was destroyed by storms.
Network Rail said the study would be "key" to long-term developments.
The report, published in the Journal of Transport Geography, said that 10% of journeys on the line, which was rebuilt and reopened in April 2014, could be affected by 2040.
The report said adverse weather disrupted the line about 10 days per year, but according to sea-level predictions that could rise to almost 40 by 2040 and up to 120 by 2100.
Academics from Plymouth University, the University of Leeds and the University of York identified a link between sea-level change and rail incidents over the last 150 years.
The academics said there could be similar implications for other vulnerable stretches of railway throughout Wales, south-east England, the Cumbrian coast and Scotland.
Dr David Dawson, from the University of Leeds, said the long-term future of the line was "really worrying".
The report predicts diverting routes could potentially cost billions of pounds.
Network Rail said it hoped to develop "long-term interventions" to "secure the future" of the line.
The Department for Transport said it had invested Â£31m into improving the resilience of the route and was "exploring the potential for longer-term improvements in the area".
In January, the prime minister backed a new Okehampton railway route as the "most resilient" alternative to the vulnerable Dawlish line.

Summary: One of the UK's most vulnerable railway lines could be cut off by up to 120 days a year by the end of the century, a study has warned.

The train firm said it would refund the difference in cost between mainline and high speed fares - to compensate for the loss of direct high speed trains.
Southeastern will also give season ticket-holders from five stations a backdated 20% refund on mainline fares.
Dover MP Charlie Elphicke, said the line still needed repairing quickly.
He said it had been a difficult time for rail users and it was right passengers should be compensated after the problems were caused when cracks appeared in the sea wall.
Mr Elphicke said an emergency peak-time high-speed rail service between Dover and St Pancras to help commuters had made a difference.
"We now need Network Rail to confirm how long it will take to repair the sea wall," he said.
Steve Kilby, from Network Rail, said the team was working hard to get a final design in place for repairs.
But, he said: "This week has been very stormy on the beach and our guys have been working through tough conditions."
He said 15,000 tonnes of rock had been placed on the shingle to protect the railway from heavy seas and eventually more than 70,000 tonnes would be in place.
The stations where passengers will be compensated are Sandwich, Deal, Walmer, Martin Mill and Dover Priory.
Compensation claim forms are available for people at the station.

Summary: Southeastern has said it will compensate passengers affected by the closure of the Dover to Folkestone rail line.

He complained that Dawn Bowden referred to "Goebbels-like propaganda from the right-wing media" in a recent debate.
He claimed Eluned Morgan "trivialised suicide" when saying Brexit would "slit the wrists of the Welsh economy".
Mr Davies has written to Presiding Officer Elin Jones asking her to remind AMs to use more appropriate language.
"There is a danger that the aggressive nature of debates on the subject of Britain's vote to leave the European Union is likely to worsen any tensions which exist in Welsh society," Mr Davies said in his letter to Ms Jones.
"Whatever we may feel individually and collectively about the result we all have a responsibility to conduct that civic discussion in a rational manner and with respect."
An assembly spokesman said the presiding officer had "received this correspondence on Friday afternoon and will reply to the Leader of Welsh Conservatives soon".
In response, Ms Bowden said she stood by what she said, criticising the way the "right-wing press" has portrayed recent issues such as immigration.
She added: "If he [Mr Davies] has a problem with that then my view would be, he is being over sensitive."
Ms Morgan have been asked to comment.

Summary: Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies has called on AMs to be "more careful" when discussing the EU referendum.

Joel Andresier, 39, from Southampton, said the pushchair had been covered in "pretty much every bodily fluid known to science" by his three children.
At one stage the highest bid for the three-wheeler stood at more than £150,000, after the advert went viral.
He reset the price after admitting he did not expect the bidder to pay up.
In the listing's description, Mr Andresier, of Sarisbury Green, said: "This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife's intent to have children.
"We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life."
It prompted six pages of questions which led the advert to exceed the number of customer enquiries allowed by the online auction site.
Mr Andresier wrote: "Looks like I have hit the eBay limit for shared responses to all your wonderful questions. It doesn't look like the last 50 or so replies from today have been added to the listing. Sorry people - looks like you have broken eBay."
On the comments pages, one user described Mr Andresier as a "marketing genius", while another did not see the funny side and said he was "pathetic".
He said he would use the proceeds from the sale to "help me recover from children".
Mr Andresier's wife Susan, 36, had said she found the listing "hilarious", and added the couple had been amazed by its popularity on social media.
'Green monster' for sale: Highlights from the eBay listing
"I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.
"Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I dont know try and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sods neck.
"All of my children are now walking (often in completely the wrong direction) but someone else deserves to give this a good home. Over the years I have collected spare bits from other zombified fathers who were once full of life and I will throw these in as well."

Summary: A man who put his "zombified" pushchair up for sale on eBay has sold it for £12,000.

The 32-year-old's first World Series win since 2012 ended the 13-event winning streak of Gwen Jorgensen.
The Welsh triathlete also beat British rival Jodie Stimpson.
"Helen has put a very strong case forward," said Stanford, who has already qualified for Rio along with Vicky Holland.
With an official announcement due in June, two-time world champion Jenkins and England's Commonwealth champion Stimpson are competing to be part of Britain's female triathlon contingent in Rio this summer.
"Personally, I can't see how they can't pick Helen," said Jenkins' Welsh compatriot Stanford.
"British Triathlon were saying that you had to display potential to medal for Rio and she's absolutely done that.
"She's gone out there and won the race and not only that she's beaten Gwen Jorgensen, who is the hot favourite to win gold in Rio, so if you beat her you've shown you have potential to medal so I'd be very surprised if she's not selected."
Stimpson made a strong start to the season, winning the opening World Series event in Abu Dhabi and the sprint distance World Cup in Australia.
But she trailed in 12th, more than three minutes behind the winner, at the Gold Coast.
"Jodie had a fantastic start to the season," added Stanford, the 2013 world champion.
"But sadly she didn't quite have the race she wanted at the Gold Coast which was the actual selection race.
"That was the day they had to really perform and show what they were capable of doing, but she presented a strong case earlier in the year and you never know what the selectors are thinking and which way they will go."
After winning the race in Australia, Jenkins said: "The team is not announced yet but I think I have probably done enough today.
"Our team is so strong and it is so unfair that Jodie might not be going to the Games."

Summary: Former world champion Non Stanford says she would be "very surprised" if Helen Jenkins is not selected for Great Britain's triathlon team for the Rio Olympics.

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.
The National Assets Management Agency (Nama) is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank", set up to deal with toxic loans during the Irish banking crisis, and the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio is known as Project Eagle.

Summary: The National Crime Agency (NCA) is to lead an investigation into the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland property loan portfolio.

At least one bomber blew himself up outside the mausoleum of Sayid Mohammed bin Ali al-Hadi, which was then stormed by gunmen, reports say.
Another bomber is said to have blown himself up among fleeing worshippers.
Meanwhile the death toll from Sunday's suicide bombing in Baghdad has again been raised, from 281 to 292.
Amid growing public anger over the truck bombing, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi fired the three top security officials in Baghdad on Friday.
They were the head of Baghdad's security command, the head of interior ministry intelligence for Baghdad and the official responsible for Baghdad in the national security adviser's office.
IS said five of its members had carried out the raid on the site in Balad. The militant group follows an extreme form of Sunni Islam and often targets Shias, who it regards as apostates.
About 50 people were injured in the attack, police and medical sources said.
Islamic State: The full story
Worshippers were marking the Eid al-Fitr festival, celebrating the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when the site came under mortar fire.
The first bomber then struck a market at the entrance to the shrine.
A third bomber was shot dead before he was able to detonate his explosive vest, reports say.
It came four days after IS carried out the deadliest bombing in Baghdad, 45 miles (70km) south of Balad, since the 2003 US-led invasion.
That attack target a shopping complex in the mainly Shia Muslim district of Karrada.
IS militants overran large parts of northern and western Iraq two years ago, but government forces have since regained much of the territory.
In response to the battlefield setbacks, including the recent loss of the western city of Falluja, the militants have stepped up their attacks on civilians.
The Iraqi government has been accused of not doing enough to protect its citizens and has stepped-up security in Baghdad in response to the latest violence.

Summary: So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind a suicide attack on a Shia shrine south-west of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, that killed at least 20 people.

The $5m (??3.2m) prize is supposed to be awarded each year to an elected leader who governed well, raised living standards and then left office.
This is the fourth time in five years there has been no winner.
A committee member said the group looked "for excellence in governance but in leadership also".
Kenya's Mwai Kibaki met at least one of the criteria, after he stepped down as president earlier this year.
However, his 2007 re-election was tarnished by disputes which turned violent, leading to the deaths of some 1,200 people.
His opponent, Raila Odinga, said the poll had been rigged in favour of Mr Kibaki, who denied any wrongdoing.
Three people have won in the seven years since the prize was launched: Cape Verde's Pedro Verona Pires; Festus Mogae from Botswana and Mozambique's Joaquim Chissano.
Sudan-born telecoms entrepreneur Mr Ibrahim launched the prize in an attempt to encourage African leaders to leave power peacefully.
The $5m prize is spread over 10 years and is followed by $200,000 a year for life.

Summary: The search is on for the next winner of the Mo Ibrahim Prize for African Leadership.

The mural, called Slave Labour, disappeared from a wall in Wood Green, north London, in February and appeared in a Miami sale.
But it was removed from the lot after protests by Haringey Council.
It is now up for auction in June in Covent Garden by the Sincura Group. A local councillor and the local Trades Union Congress have attacked the sale.
The mural, which depicts a boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting, appeared on the side of a Poundland store last May, just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
A spokesman for the auctioneers Sincura said the mural "has been sensitively restored under a cloak of secrecy", and will go on show alongside pieces by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Mario Testino and Russell Young.
But Wood Green councillor Alan Strickland said: "This is a piece of art given to the community for public enjoyment, and people will find it galling that you can only view this work at an expensive champagne reception, when it belongs with the people of north London, not a private owner.
"We saw the level of public anger last time, as the story went around the world, and I expect the same this time."
And Keith Flett, secretary of the Haringey Trades Union Congress, said: "The Slave Labour Banksy belongs to the people of Haringey not to a wealthy private client."
When the mural was up for auction in Miami, it was expected to fetch up to Â£450,000.
There was suspicion it had been stolen when it disappeared but the Metropolitan Police said there were "no reports of any theft".
Slave Labour will go on sale at the London Film Museum on 2 June.

Summary: A mural by the street artist Banksy is to be sold at auction after it was removed from a lot in the US.

Official numbers showed revenues down 32.2% for the period to 16.4bn Macau patacas ($2.05bn; Â£1.36bn).
Expectations were for a fall in revenues of just over 31%.
Macau is the world's largest gaming centre - ahead of Las Vegas - and the only place in China where casinos are allowed.
A special administrative region of China, Macau's economy relies heavily on gambling and shopping - especially by big spending tourists from the mainland.
But Chinese President Xi Jinping's campaign against corruption and luxury spending, which began in December 2012, has seen officials and others from the mainland more wary of gaming and spending in the city.
China's Communist Party prohibits officials from gambling, but until the 2012 crackdown, officials had reportedly visited Macau's casinos to gamble and spend.
China has emphasised Macau's need to diversify its economy away from gambling. The city's build up of new resorts and hotels is expected to help drive general tourism, however, analysts have said Macau will be hard-pressed to build up non-gaming streams of revenue in the near future.
Official numbers released on Monday showed the city's economy shrank by 24.2% year-on-year during three months to September, the city's Statistics and Census Service said.
"Economic contraction in the third quarter was attributable to the continuous decline in exports of services, of which exports of gaming services decreased by 37.4% year-on-year and exports of other tourism services dropped by 15.3%," it added.
Once a Portuguese colony, gaming has taken place in Macau for more than 300 years. For many years it was referred to as the Monte Carlo of the Orient. The city was returned to Chinese rule in 1999.

Summary: Gambling revenues in the Chinese city of Macau fell more than expected in the first nine months of the year, as a crackdown on corruption continues.

It comes after Ruskin College's governing body agreed to cut two of its six BA programmes and one of its three MA courses to save money.
College principal Chris Wilkes said the decision was related to "low student numbers rather than any other reason".
He said it would continue to focus on adult education.
Famous Ruskin College alumni include former deputy prime minister John Prescott and Dennis Skinner, MP for Bolsover in Derbyshire.
BA English Studies, BA History with Social Sciences and MA Women's Studies are being discontinued.
Anne Hughes, 63, from Thame in Oxfordshire, has been studying BA English Studies part-time at the college for two years.
She said she was "absolutely distraught" it was being cut.
She is physically disabled and has depression, and said she chose to study at the college because it worked with "disadvantaged, disabled and mature students".
The college also offers bespoke timetables, unlike some other places of higher education, she added.
Online petitions have been set up in a bid to save the English faculty and the Women's Studies course.
One signatory, Jenny Lewis, wrote on the first petition: "[Tutors] Helen Kidd and Tom Sherry are carrying on the great Ruskin tradition of bringing opportunities to those that otherwise would not have them."
Student and activist Saskia Ritchie, who set up the second petition, said Ruskin had been set up for "people who would traditionally be excluded from academia" and gives "access to truly excellent learning opportunities".
Mr Wilkes said the college would lose about 25 students as a result of the cuts.
He added degrees had been on offer at the college for about 10 years and were "relatively new" considering the college's 116-year history.
"Our focus will continue to be on educating adults and I think what we're doing is just renewing our offer but doing it in a different way, fulfilling our mission in a different way, to perhaps how we've done it in the past," Mr Wilkes added.
The college previously lost funding from the Skills Development Agency.

Summary: More than 2,000 people have signed an online petition to save three degree courses at an Oxford college.

South Wales Police said David Ellis, 40, his lodger, has been arrested in Ireland.
Officers are liaising with Garda officers in connection with his extradition back to the UK.
Retired telecoms engineer Mr Warburton, 59, has not been seen since 31 July.
Police launched an appeal for information after he went missing; they said his M-reg Peugeot 205 had been spotted in north Wales before returning to Swansea.
The car was found abandoned at Birkenhead port some days later.
Police said Mr Ellis, who had been Mr Warburton's lodger in Sketty, had stepped off a ferry in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on 6 August.
That discovery prompted a fresh appeal for information and led to Welsh officers being sent across the Irish Sea.
South Wales Police said Mr Warburton's family had been informed of the latest development in the investigation and continued to be assisted by family liaison officers.
Mr Warburton's body has not been found; detectives have previously said they are treating the incident as murder.

Summary: The partner of missing Swansea man David Warburton has been arrested in the Republic of Ireland.

The Chinese firm said it was pursuing its South Korean rival in two courts - one in California, the other in Shenzhen.
According to Huawei, several of its cellular communications and software inventions had been used in Samsung's phones without its permission.
Samsung told the BBC it would defend its business interests.
The specific patents involved have not been disclosed.
However, Huawei has said at least some of them are classed as Frand - an acronym referring to "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory".
This means the Chinese company has committed itself to offering anyone a licence so long as they agree to a non-excessive compensation.
This kind of agreement is common in the tech sector as it makes it possible for different companies' products to communicate and share data formats with each other.
Huawei's intellectual property chief indicated it was seeking permission to use some of Samsung's technologies in return rather than seeking a payment.
"Thus far, we have signed cross-licensing agreements with dozens of our competitors," said Ding Jianxing.
"We hope Samsung will respect Huawei's R&D investment and patents, stop infringing our patents and get the necessary licence from Huawei, and work together with Huawei to jointly drive the industry forward."
A Samsung spokesperson responded in an email to the BBC saying "we will thoroughly review the complaint and take appropriate action to defend Samsung's business interests".
The action comes at a time when Oracle and Google are waiting for a jury to come back with a verdict in a copyright trial that has pitted the two giants against each other in the US.
But such clashes have become less common since Apple and Samsung's high-profile courtroom battle in 2011, which led to both firms revealing secrets about their inner workings and racking up large legal bills.
One expert noted that just because papers had been filed in the latest case did not mean Huawei and Samsung would necessarily fight a similar battle in public.
"Huawei may have initiated litigation as lever to get a settlement," commented Ilya Kazi from the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys.
"We don't know if it intends to go all the way through. Most cases do settle."

Summary: Huawei has filed legal action in the US and China against Samsung over alleged patent infringement.

The 32-year old, who has won 12 caps for his country, has been signed to provide injury cover.
Ospreys tight heads Dmitri Arhip and Ma'afu Fia are currently sidelined and Rhodri Jones is in the Wales squad.
"Brian has proven quality at the top level and will add so much experience to the squad, particularly over the coming weeks," coach Steve Tandy said.
Mujati has played in Super Rugby with Lions and Stormers, in Top 14 in France with Racing Metro, and in England with Northampton Saints and Sale.
At Northampton Mujati was a losing Heineken Cup and Premiership finalist, and an Anglo-Welsh Cup winner.
Ospreys Head Coach, Steve Tandy, said he is expecting Mujati to make a big impact.
"This is an important signing for us given the injury situation with Dmitri and Ma'afu. Our performances this season have put us in a really strong position but we still have eight PRO12 games to go, and a Challenge Cup quarter-final in April," he said.
"In Rhodri Jones and Daniel Suter we have two young men who will be heavily involved but we can't go through such a big run of games with only two fit pro tight heads on our books, particularly with Rhodri still a part of the Six Nations squad and potentially away on Wales duty. It's a critical position and we felt that we had to act now."

Summary: Ospreys have signed South Africa tight head prop Brian Mujati until the end of the season.

Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, was climbing Fansipan mountain alone on Friday when he fell down a ravine and lost his way, his girlfriend Bluebell Baughan said.
Mr Webb, described as an experienced climber, was last heard from on Saturday when his phone went dead.
The Foreign Office confirmed it was assisting his family.
Mr Webb and Miss Baughan were on a four-month trip when he injured his arm and knee in the fall on the 3,100m (10,300ft) high Fansipan mountain in the north of Vietnam.
More on this and other stories from Norfolk
"He went to the mountain alone without a guide at 06:00 and aspired to climb it in one day," Miss Baughan said.
She was in touch with Mr Webb by phone when he informed her he had fallen and could not find his way back to the trail.
"He was sure he could make it back but by nightfall it was apparent he wasn't going to," she said.
"Aiden said a rock had cut his arm open and he had hurt his knee. We were in touch all night.
"He said no-one would be able to find him, but by 6am on Saturday he finally agreed to me getting help."
Miss Baughan, who is helping co-ordinate the search from the town of Sa Pa, said rescuers had been on the mountain since Saturday morning.
"Thirty-two men spent last night on the mountain, a mixture of military police, forestry workers and local police.
"There is only one police officer here in Sa Pa who speaks English, but everyone has been very helpful," she said.
Miss Baughan said conditions on the mountain were "very cold and wet".
"Aiden is a very good climber, but he is injured," she said.
Mr Webb's father and uncle are expected to arrive in Vietnam this evening although they will not reach the north until Tuesday.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: "We are supporting the family of Aiden Webb, a British man reported missing in Vietnam. We are working closely with the local authorities leading the search."

Summary: Rescuers are searching a mountain in Vietnam for a British backpacker who fell and is missing.

She was artificially inseminated earlier this year after attempts to bring her together with male partner, Yang Guang, failed.
The zoo said new scientific tests had given a "strong indication" of pregnancy, but were "too new to be definitive".
Tian Tian also conceived last year, but the pregnancy failed.
Iain Valentine, director of Giant Pandas for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "The latest scientific data suggests Tian Tian the giant panda is now pregnant and that implantation has taken place, therefore she may give birth at the end of the month.
"This is all very new and complex science and we still have a bit of time to go yet.
"As like last year, the late loss of a cub remains entirely possible."
The zoo said it had been able to confirm that Tian Tian did become pregnant last year.
However, it said it was most likely that she had reabsorbed the foetus late term.
The two pandas arrived in Scotland from China in 2011.
Tian Tian has had cubs in the past in China, before she came on loan to Edinburgh.
If she does have a successful delivery, it will be the first time a giant panda has been born in Britain.
The panda enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo is due to close to visitors from Saturday ahead of a possible birth.

Summary: Edinburgh Zoo has said its female giant panda, Tian Tian, may give birth at the end of the month.

The 25-year-old man reportedly calls himself Harald Hitler.
The man, sporting a side parting and a trademark moustache, had been seen having his photograph taken outside the house in Braunau am Inn in which Adolf Hitler was born.
The lookalike had recently moved to the town on the German border, police spokesman David Furtner told the BBC.
Mr Furtner said this was not a joke or a piece of performance art.
"The young man knows exactly what he is doing," the police spokesman said.
He said the man had also been spotted in Vienna and Graz.
Pictures of the man were published by Austria's Heute.at news website on Monday.
Glorifying the Nazi era is a crime in Austria.
Last October, the Austrian authorities decided to demolish Hitler's birthplace house to stop it becoming a focal point for neo-Nazis.
Hitler was born in a rented room on the top floor of the building on 20 April 1889.
During Nazi rule, the house was transformed into a shrine to Hitler as the town drew in a wave of tourists.
But as the Nazis began to lose control in 1944, it was shut.

Summary: Police in the Austrian town where Adolf Hitler was born say they are looking for a man who looks like the Nazi leader.

The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith over fears debris could fall on to the tracks.
The Circle Line is also closed partly due to the fire and partly because of planned engineering work.
Transport for London (TfL) said the move had been made "at the request of the London Fire Brigade".
The fire broke out at the 24-storey block, which contained 120 one and two-bedroom flats, early on Wednesday morning.
Police presume 58 people have died but have warned the figure could grow.
A sign at Ladbroke Grove station said "owing to the safety of the Tower" the lines had been partly suspended.
The London Fire Brigade confirmed it had requested the lines be temporarily closed because of a "short-term risk of some debris falling on to the tracks".
A spokesman said teams were working to secure the debris so the lines could be reopened as soon as possible.

Summary: Two London Underground lines have been temporarily closed because of the Grenfell Tower fire.

The money will be spent on designing systems to allow the chassis of future models to be made out of aluminium.
The first of these models will be a new mid-sized sports saloon car to be introduced in 2015.
The announcement was made at the Frankfurt motor show by JLR chief executive Ralf Speth.
"Today's announcement signals Jaguar Land Rover's ambitions to push the boundaries and redefine premium car ownership," he said.
"Jaguar Land Rover is a business driven by design, technology and innovation and this investment and level of job creation is yet further evidence of our commitment to advancing the capability of the UK automotive sector and its supply chain."
The design teams will be creating what they call an aluminium architecture, which is the part of the car on which the bodywork, seats and engine sit.
The idea is that it will be flexible enough to be the base for future model of either Jaguar or Land Rover cars.
In pictures: Jaguar C-X17
Carmakers are increasingly using aluminium in their vehicles because its light weight improves fuel efficiency.
The first car using the aluminium platform will be a smaller than other Jaguar models.
But in order to demonstrate the flexibility of the system, JLR has also unveiled a concept car called the C-X17, which is halfway between a sports car and an SUV, and could also be based on the new chassis.
JLR said that the jobs at the Solihull site would bring the total number of jobs it had created in the UK over the last three years to almost 11,000.
It also stressed that the investment would involve significant extra spending with its suppliers.
JLR has been owned by India's Tata Motors since 2008.

Summary: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has said it will create 1,000 new jobs at its plant in Solihull, West Midlands.

In the last three weeks, blooms have appeared along the shoreline on Anglesey and there have been some reports of children being stung.
The cold spring meant there were few reports of jellyfish before June.
Frankie Hobrow from the Anglesey Sea Zoo advised swimmers to "look but don't touch" and to treat stings with vinegar.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) said jellyfish, including the Lion's Mane variety, have been seen by holidaymakers at Benllech beach, on the Menai Strait.
Ms Hobrow said: "They have increased over the last two or three weeks with the warmer weather. They get carried around on the ocean currents, they can't swim very well so they rely on being carried around, and we do see this every year once it gets warmer.
"The sea temperatures warm up slightly and we get a lot more swarms of jellyfish."
Ms Hobrow said the Lion's Mane gives a "nasty sting".
She said: "They can grow very, very big - over two metres - but the ones here are fairly small.
"They can be painful but it's generally localised pain - it doesn't usually last very long. You can often help if you apply vinegar - that's great because it's acidic."
She also said urine could also be used because of its acidity.
The MCS's National Jellyfish Survey, which is in its 10th year, said 7,500 jellyfish reports have been made by the public over the last decade.
Dr Peter Richardson, the charity's biodiversity programme manager, said: "The scarcity of jellyfish reports before June was unusual and could well be linked to the exceptionally cold spring.
"However, as our waters warmed, sightings of jellyfish increased, with moon jellyfish reported in large numbers around the UK, reports of compass and blue jellyfish in the south west, and blooms of Lion's Mane jellies around north Wales and north west England."

Summary: Jellyfish blooms on the north Wales coast have prompted warnings for swimmers.

The 22-year-old was an unused squad member during the 2017 Six Nations, as well as the 2016 autumn internationals.
"It's been building as I've been in a few camps now, but to finally get my name called out on that team sheet was an awesome feeling," he said.
"I've been champing at the bit these last few camps, training hard."
The Ospreys player comes in to replace Cory Hill, who was called up by the British and Irish Lions following Wales' 24-6 win over Tonga.
Coach Robin McBryde has made seven changes in all to the side that started that game at Eden Park last Friday

Thornton made 25 appearances for Ospreys in the 2016-17 campaign, but expects a big transition to international rugby.
"I've been playing a lot for the Ospreys this year and being involved in the Pro12 and the [European] Challenge Cup has given me quite a bit of experience," the former Wales Under-20s captain told BBC Wales Sport.
"But Test rugby is a completely different animal, so I'm really looking forward to the challenge on Friday against a strong Samoan team.
"Like every young Welsh boy I want to play for Wales, but when it actually comes round you get that sensation of pride."
Thornton is part of an inexperienced Wales side, with the forwards having won just 31 caps between them.
"Samoa have a big experienced pack and we have a couple of young guys here looking to blood themselves on the international stage, so I think it'll be a good challenge overall," Thornton added.

Fifty sheep were stolen from a farm in Ammanford and the farmer spotted a flock two weeks later at a livestock market in Llanybydder.
After the ewes gave birth, paternity tests revealed they were the offspring of the farmer's rams.
Andrew Thomas, 39, of Garnant admitted handling the stolen sheep.
He will be sentenced at Swansea Crown Court this month.
Dyfed-Powys Police said this was the first time DNA evidence has been used in a case of this type in Wales, and only the third time across Wales and England.
Insp Matthew Howells said: "Traditionally, sheep rustling cases are very difficult to detect and prosecute, with this case being no exception.
"Although we were unable to prove who stole the sheep, we were able to use forensic techniques usually reserved for humans to help prove that the sheep were in fact the stolen ones."

Summary: DNA evidence has led to a man being convicted of sheep rustling in Carmarthenshire.

William Blake: Apprentice and Master has opened at the Ashmolean Museum after 19th Century floor plans were unearthed.
Blake created the majority of his books from a printing studio in the Hercules Buildings in Hercules Road, Lambeth.
The studio was destroyed when the building was razed in 1918.
Philip Pullman CBE, president of the Blake Society, said: "William Blake was a complete original; his power was his tenderness, his wit, his graphic line are like no-one else's.
"It's good to remind people every so often about this colossal imagination and his moral vision, which are just as potent now after two hundred years as they were when he brought them into the world."
The exhibition is on until 1 March 2015.

Summary: An exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of the death of author William Blake has opened in south London.

The tie-up, announced in March, is expected to be completed by the end of this year or early 2017.
It will create one of the world's largest exchange companies with a combined value of about £21bn.
Each of the two companies has more than 5,000 staff.
The LSE said its shareholders would be asked to approve the merger on 4 July.
It added that the deal was expected to produce €250m in annual cost savings in five years, with €160m of those savings achieved by year three.
If the deal goes ahead, LSE shareholders will own 45.6% of the new holding company, while Deutsche Boerse shareholders will own 54.4%.
The two companies said together they should be able to make cost savings of €450m (£354m) a year - about 20% of the combined group's operating costs of €2.2bn last year.
The LSE group already owns Milan-based Borsa Italiana.
The newly merged company will keep both the London and Frankfurt headquarters. The new holding company, UK TopCo, will be incorporated in the UK.

Summary: The London Stock Exchange (LSE) and Deutsche Boerse have set a date for a vote on their proposed merger.

Sky Mobile will offer flexible monthly payment plans and the ability to roll over unused data each month for up to three years.
Sky will become a "quad play" provider, offering broadband, television fixed-line telephone and a mobile service.
And existing Sky TV customers will not have to pay for calls or texts and can compile playlists of their favourite shows to watch on their mobiles.
According to Sky, some 46,000 have pre-registered for the service.
The service comes with three data plans:
Non-Sky TV customers can add on unlimited calls and texts for £10 per month, or pay for calls and texts on a pay-as-you-use (PAYU) basis.
According to Sky, UK consumers use less than half of the mobile data they buy from mobile network operators, adding up to an annual £2bn of wasted data.
Stephen van Rooyen, UK and Ireland Sky chief executive, said:  "We felt it was time to shake up the mobile market and give customers a completely new way to manage their mobile plan.
"We've designed it based on what people told us they want - it's easy, flexible and transparent and it puts the customer in control."
Ewan Taylor-Gibson, a telecoms expert at uSwitch said: "Sky's first mobile offering is very competitive, as long as you're already a Sky TV customer."
He compared Sky's Sim-only deal with that already offered by giffgaff, another service that piggybacks on O2's network and allows customers to alter their package depending on their usage.
"The key differences between the two are that Sky ties you in for 12 months, while giffgaff users can cancel anytime, and giffgaff also offers unlimited everything for £20 a month, beating Sky's top package, which delivers 5GB," said Mr Taylor-Gibson.
Sky's decision to let people roll over data and store it for three years was "both unique and compelling", he said, but it may have to offer bigger data bundles.

Summary: Sky has launched a mobile phone service that piggybacks on O2's network.

In May, Mr Joyce vowed to press charges against a man who struck him with a pie over his support for same-sex marriage, which is not legal in Australia.
Mr Joyce has also faced criticism from some politicians who say he should not take a political stance on behalf of the airline.
However, he said his company "would be active out there" in campaigning.
"I believe we have to get behind it and make sure that we have a 'yes' vote and certainly I will be out there strongly campaigning for a 'yes' vote," he said.
"We believe the social issues are very important of all of your [company] stakeholders and are very important for this country."
Australians will be asked their views on same-sex marriage through a voluntary, non-binding ballot to begin next month.
If it shows support for changing Australia's Marriage Act, it is expected that a vote in parliament will follow. However, MPs would not be bound to vote in line with the public.
Mr Joyce was one of 20 company chief executives who signed a petition in March calling on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to legalise same-sex marriage.
It led to criticism by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who said it was "unacceptable that people would use companies and the money of publicly-listed companies to throw their weight around".
"If Alan Joyce and any other CEO wants to campaign on this or any other issue in their own time and on their own dime, good luck to them," Mr Dutton said at the time.
Two months later, Mr Joyce was giving a speech in Perth when an intruder shoved him in the face with a meringue pie.
"From my reading, it would appear that Alan Joyce is very much part of a network trying to subvert the federal parliamentary process around the issue of marriage equality," the intruder, Tony Overheu, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Mr Joyce later said he would press charges against Mr Overheu.
Polls in recent years have shown a majority of Australians support same-sex marriage.

Summary: Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce has said he will campaign for same-sex marriage in Australia.

Although he has yet to make up his mind whether to retire, Terry is keen to become a manager once he does decide to stop playing.
"I think I've got too much to give and I've learned too much not to pass that on," he added. "I do want to be a manager."

Summary: John Terry says he is yet to make up his mind about his next move.

An Israeli TV report revealed $127,000 of public money was spent on fitting the room on his flight to attend former UK PM Margaret Thatcher's funeral.
The expense met with anger in Israel, which is facing austerity measures.
Mr Netanyahu's office said the prime minister had been unaware of the cost.
Israeli media reports said the cost was incurred by having four walls and door installed around a double bed, and 22 business class seats fitted on a plane chartered from El Al, Israel's national airline.
The flight from Israel to the UK takes about five-and-a-half hours.
The aircraft cost about $300,000 to use, before the custom fittings. Israel's Channel 10 first reported the story, which triggered angry reactions in the media.
"Bibi is king, and in a monarchy, when the king and queen fly, price is no object," said political commentator Sima Kadmon, referring to Mr Netanyahu by his nickname, in Israel's biggest-selling newspaper Yediot Ahranot.
Mr Netanyahu's office said the prime minister needed a good night's sleep on the flight ahead of a day of busy schedules. It later said the prime minister had not been aware of the additional cost and had ordered cut-backs.
Reports said customised "rest chambers" would no longer be used on European flights, while other media quoted his office as saying they would be dropped all together.
The news came at a time when Israelis face tax rises as part of austerity measures being discussed by the cabinet.
It also follows the revelation earlier this year that the prime minister's office had an annual budget of $2,700 for ice-cream bought by his staff from a Jerusalem shop. Mr Netanyahu scrapped the allowance after the story came to light.

Summary: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered cuts to the cost of a custom-made "rest chamber" on a flight to the UK.

In a damning new report, the group also called for an "independent and impartial" inquiry into cases of abuse.
The law, AFSPA, was introduced in the region in 1990 as a response to violence by insurgent groups.
But it has contributed to increasing people's alienation, the report says.
Tens of thousands of security forces are deployed in Indian-administered Kashmir to fight the militancy which began in the late 1980s. AFSPA - the Armed Forces Special Powers Act - allows troops to shoot to kill suspected militants or arrest them without a warrant.
Amnesty says these sweeping powers have led to a cycle of impunity for human rights violations in the troubled region.
The report says not a single member of the armed forces has been tried in a civilian court for violating human rights in Kashmir.
"This lack of accountability has in turn facilitated other serious abuses," says Minar Pimple, the group's senior director of global operations.
"By not addressing human rights violations committed by security force personnel in the name of national security, India has not only failed to uphold its international obligations, but has also failed its own constitution," she added.
The report documents the excesses carried out by the armed forces over the years and says the government's response to these violations has failed to deliver justice.
There was no immediate government response to the report.

Summary: Amnesty International has urged India to repeal a controversial law that gives the security forces sweeping powers in Indian-administered Kashmir.

The sentencing of David Gilroy, who killed Edinburgh woman Suzanne Pilley, is due to take place next Wednesday.
Earlier this week permission was also granted to film the proceedings.
Twitter use has been allowed before in a Scottish court but it will be the first time a sentencing at the High Court in Scotland has been filmed.
Gilroy was found guilty by a jury last month of murdering 38-year-old bookkeeper Ms Pilley.
She disappeared in May 2010 but her body has never been found.
Prosecutors believed that Gilroy, 49, buried his former lover in a "lonely grave" in a remote part of Argyll.
Gilroy will be sentenced on Wednesday 18 April.
During the filming, the camera will focus on the judge - no one else will feature in the footage except the macer and the clerk. Gilroy himself will not be filmed.
Live updating on Twitter from a Scottish court was allowed for the first time for the sentencing of former MSP Tommy Sheridan in January 2011.
However, guidance issued at the end of last year confirmed journalists in Scotland would not be allowed to use live text-based communication without specific clearance.
Journalists south of the border have been told by the Lord Chief Justice to "twitter as much as you like".

Summary: A man convicted of murdering his former lover is to be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh via Twitter.

An investigation by Northampton Borough Council discovered 21 homeless people in the town, including "a significant proportion of European migrants".
The people were "resolutely refusing to leave the streets", the report said.
Council officials held talks with 30 organisations to develop a plan to eliminate rough sleeping by June 2017.
Lithuanian Kristians Olsteins has been rough sleeping in Northampton for about four months after losing his job and passport.
He said it was not a lifestyle choice for him and he would like nothing more than to have a home.
Mike Hallet, who has been homeless for two years, also denied it was a choice.
He said: "Of course, I would like to be off the streets - it is horrible and I would rather be anywhere else."
But Darren Jordan, who lived on the streets for two months before finding space in a homeless shelter, believes "some people get stuck in a rut and then it does become a lifestyle choice".
Northampton Hope Centre runs a day centre supporting people who are homeless or in poverty and was one of the organisations consulted by council officials.
General manager Robin Burgess said: "It's clear there are people who have become accustomed to life on the street over many years - or even decades.
"Some are European and some are addicted to drink and alcohol - but I don't believe anyone actively chooses to sleep on the streets."
He said the way to address homelessness is to supply individual support for as long as is needed.
Under a three-year plan set to be discussed on Wednesday, it is proposed that Northampton Borough Council will provide a temporary night shelter which would require some initial set-up costs "likely to be under Â£50,000".
The financial implications of setting up and running the shelter for up to 18 months will be fully-costed and any plan will require approval.
"Comprehensive support plans" for "rough sleepers with complex needs" would also be introduced.
Crisis, a charity for single homeless people, said rough sleeping was "incredibly dangerous" and a homeless person was "13 times more likely to be a victim of violence than the average member of the public".
Chief executive Jon Sparkes added: "Rather than blaming the people in these desperate circumstances, we need to focus on acting quickly and decisively to get them the support they need."

Summary: A plan to eliminate rough sleeping in a Northamptonshire town is set to be discussed by councillors.

Most of the deaths resulted from a stampede as hundreds of students rushed to escape the blaze through two exits, the Kano state officials said.
Twenty-five others were injured in the fire which broke out as students were sleeping at the government-run girls school in Jogana village, they added.
It is not being treated as suspicious.
Fire-fighters spent seven hours trying to put out the blaze, an eyewitness told the BBC's Hausa service.
The government has closed the boarding school and ordered a full investigation into the fire.

Summary: At least 19 students have been killed in a fire at a school in northern Nigeria, officials say.

A team from Cardiff University has appealed to more than 3,000 beekeepers to send them photos, videos and audio files from hives over the summer.
The noises will be analysed at the School of Pharmacy.
The research will also help them learn where the bees find their feed by mapping the exact locations they were pictured or recorded.
"The Africanised honey bee makes different sound to the European bees," said microbiology professor Les Bailie.
"The bees we have on the roof of the school here are Italian. Do the bees in Cardiff make the same sound as those in Aberystwyth or Wrexham?"
Prof Bailie said bees could make up to 10 different noises depending on their mood, including angry, calm or ill.
Analysing the "known noises" can help determine where bees are from, but could also be used to play to bees to help their mood.
"A happy bee is a productive bee. If you can make the bee happy by playing them the right sound they can produce more honey," Prof Bailie said.
"Plotting these differences could ultimately help us in our bid to find out which plants help bees the most.
"Gathering photos, video and sound files will help us understand where gaps lie and will help put plants in the right places to make bees more productive."
If enough beekeepers respond, and investigators detect initial differences, the project could be rolled out to include more than 40,000 beekeepers across the UK.

Summary: Scientists are asking beekeepers across Wales to help them identify the different noises made by bees.

Spending on the NHS should also be paid for by a dedicated tax marked on every payslip, the former health minister suggested.
Under Mr Lamb's plan, taxes would not be increased as the new levy would be offset by deductions to income tax or national insurance.
He has warned the NHS faces collapse without an urgent cash injection.
The plans are not yet party policy and will not be put to this year's conference in Bournemouth.
But Mr Lamb, the party's health spokesman, told party members he was "very interested in the idea of a dedicated NHS and care contribution - separating it out from the rest of taxation, clearly identified on your payslip.
"And I am really interested in the idea of the right for local areas to raise additional funds for the NHS and care if they choose."
The Lib Dems say he would like to implement the ideas across the UK, although, as health and social care are devolved, it is unclear how this would be enforced.
Mr Lamb - who lost out to Tim Farron in a leadership election in July - proposes a cross-party commission to explore the ideas. He intends to consult health bodies and professionals, patients, trade unions and academics.
Ministers have pledged £2bn in this financial year for the NHS, and an extra £8bn by 2020.
But Mr Lamb told the BBC that this was insufficient and, having "seen the books" as a minister in the last government, he feared the NHS could face a funding shortfall of £30bn by 2020.
"The bottom line is with rising demand because of an ageing population we need more investment," he said.
Mr Lamb also warned that the social care system was "on its knees" and could collapse without a cash injection of £5bn.
"I've been in the department. I have seen the books and I am deeply concerned. If we carry on regardless, the system will crash."
Taxpayers are already shown how much they have contributed to the health service in annual personal tax statements.
An attempt to establish a cross-party commission on social care before the 2010 election - led in part by Mr Lamb - collapsed in acrimony.

Summary: Local areas should be given the power to raise extra money for the NHS and social care, the Lib Dems' Norman Lamb has said.

A judicial review has been launched after free taxis for pupils living 12 miles (19km) from Ysgol Brynhyfryd, Denbighshire, were stopped.
Parents claim their children's route to the bus stop is too dangerous to walk.
But a Denbighshire council spokeswoman said the policy was agreed after "extensive consultation" and through a "democratic process".
Glenda Coleman, who lives in Bryneglwys, said: "We've relied heavily on the free taxi because our children cannot walk to the bus pick up point as it is extremely dangerous.
"The council made a decision to cut this service without providing any alternatives or considering the repercussions of removing it."
Ms Coleman said it was "impossible" to drive down a nearby hill when it has snowed or there is ice on the road, meaning parents would not be able to transport their children to the bus stop, two-and-a-half-miles away.
She added: "We feel we are being punished by the council for living in a rural area as we have been provided with no alternative options for transport and it is unacceptable."
A spokeswoman for the council said: "Denbighshire's school transport policy has recently changed.
"We are aware that a small number of parents have raised concerns regarding these changes and their perceived impact.
"The policy was agreed after extensive consultation and it has gone through a democratic process.
"We have investigated complaints thoroughly and it is the right of individuals to consider taking the matter to judicial review, for which we would respond accordingly."

Summary: Parents are taking legal action against a council over changes to school transport.

At least 290 people were killed and hundreds more injured when the 6.2-magnitude quake struck in the early hours of Wednesday, 100km (65 miles) north-east of Rome.
The town of Amatrice was among the worst affected areas.
The service at St Andrew's Cathedral was led by the Archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia.
It follows a similar event in Edinburgh on Sunday.
Ronnie Convery, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Glasgow, said there had been wide interest in the service from Scotland's Italian community.
"We are looking at something like 400 new arrivals from Italy every month at the moment in Glasgow and Edinburgh," he said.
"It's those people I notice on social media who have really taken up the information about the mass today.
"It's also interesting that in many cases people are not necessarily practicing Catholics but they just want to have that opportunity to be together, to meet, to do something."

Summary: A mass has been held in Glasgow for the victims of the Italian earthquake.

Sofia Ashraf, 29, posted a Facebook live video of her singing a song, My Vote Is Not For You, in front of the new chief minister's residence.
Sasikala Natarajan, a close aide to the late chief minister J Jayalalitha, was appointed to the post on Sunday.
The decision has fuelled anger as Ms Natarajan has never held public office.
She was made general secretary of the AIADMK party after Jayalalitha's death in December.
The recording of Ms Ashhraf's live video has been viewed 45,000 times and shared almost 1,000 times since it was uploaded to Facebook 18 hours ago.
Tamil Nadu to get second woman leader
The Indian rapper who took on a multinational
"The youth are getting increasingly agitated, and this appointment of a woman who has never stood for election being made chief minister was the straw that broke the camel's back," Ms Ashraf told the BBC.
"It has made us lose faith in democracy."
The AIADMK had earlier explained its choice of chief minister.
"Like Amma [mother], we wanted a strong woman leader to serve the people," party spokesperson CR Saraswathi told the AFP news agency, referring to Jayalalitha by her popular nickname.
Ms Ashraf says she was performing at a venue two streets away from Ms Natarajan's residence in Chennai (Madras) when her band decided to change the lyrics  to one of her songs.
She and others marched towards the house and transmitted it live on Facebook.
Police tried to stop the recording, but Ms Ashraf told the BBC that those accompanying her argued that she was doing nothing illegal.
"In Tamil Nadu there is a culture of bullying. There is no space for dissent. If you protest on the streets you are arrested, and if you protest on social media you are charged with defamation. This protest was my way of reclaiming both those spaces," she said.
"Party workers are asking us to give Sasikala a chance, but let her stand for election first."
Ms Natarajan's appointment caused a lot of chatter on Indian social media, both in Tamil Nadu and outside, with many expressing opposition to the decision.

Summary: An Indian singer has staged a protest against the appointment of a woman chief minister in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

Shenzhen prosecutors, late on Thursday, said a dispatcher and supervisor of the landfill, the chief and deputy manager of a company in charge of it, and seven other people were arrested.
They said they have been charged with negligently causing a serious accident.
The landslide happened when a hill of construction waste collapsed, leaving 74 people either missing or dead.
The formal arrests come three days after the police took what Chinese media called "coercive measures" against 12 people. It is thought the 11  arrested today were among those.
Officials have described the 20 December disaster as man-made, raising the possibility of severe punishments for those they consider responsible.
One official, whose job involved regulating construction sites, apparently jumped to his death a week after the landslide. It is not clear if he was being investigated for his role in it.
Officials have appealed for police and the public to help them find other suspects apparently on the run.

Summary: Eleven people have been arrested over a landslide at a landfill site in southern China.

The discovery was made after another child was threatened in the school's playground on 4 March.
A boy was excluded from the school following the incident, in which no-one was injured.
A police spokesman said the child was spoken to and reported to the Reporter to the Children's Panel.
He added: "No-one was injured in the incident and a knife was recovered."
Dumfries and Galloway council described the behaviour as "totally unacceptable".
A spokesman said the local authority took safety in its schools very seriously.
He added: "The school carried out investigations immediately and handled the matter appropriately and sensitively, involving the parents of the children concerned and Police Scotland.
"The incident resulted in an exclusion, with arrangements in place between the pupil, parents and the school in terms of expectations, support and supervision.
"The council is providing support, advice and resources to assist the school deal with this matter."

Summary: A 10-year-old boy has been reported to a children's panel after a knife was found at a school in Dumfries.

The Lord Advocate said he had informed First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of his intention to quit the post after five years in the job.
He said it had been a "real privilege" to lead the prosecution service in Scotland and to provide legal advice to the Scottish government.
The law officer added that it was time to "step down and do other things".
In a statement, Mr Mulholland said: "In recent years the Crown has embedded specialisms in the way it does its job.
"Our expertise in handling offences including rape, domestic abuse, serious organised crime, counter terrorism and cold cases has helped us become one of the most effective prosecution services in the world and given victims greater confidence to report crimes.
"It's been an honour to do this job working with so many dedicated and talented people to deliver justice in some of the most demanding and challenging of cases."
Nicola Sturgeon described Mr Mulholland as "an outstanding Lord Advocate".
In a statement, she said he had carried out his role with "dedication, energy, integrity and intellect".
She highlighted his work in leading Scotland's first successful "double jeopardy" murder prosecution, against the Worlds End murderer Angus Sinclair.
The first minister also praised his role in establishing a National Sexual Crimes Unit and appointing Scotland's first specialist prosecutor to deal with domestic abuse.
"It is clear that he has worked to bring about change to ensure that the system makes a real difference to people's lives, and his dedication to the law and his compassion for others has been behind that drive," she added.
"Frank has made a substantial contribution to the law and Scottish society."
Mr Mulholland served as Solicitor General until 2011, when he succeeded Dame Elish Angiolini as Lord Advocate.
He has faced some criticism during his tenure, most notably over the Crown's decision not to press charges over the Glasgow bin lorry crash.
The families of some of the victims of the 2014 tragedy are now pursuing a private prosecution against the driver.
It is understood that he will formally step down when his successor is appointed by the Queen.

Summary: Scotland's most senior law officer, Frank Mulholland, is to stand down.

Radwan Hamed collapsed during a game in Belgium in 2006. Last year a judge ruled Spurs breached its duties to him.
In a screening prior to signing for the club, an electrocardiogram test showed his heart was "unequivocally abnormal" but he was not stopped from playing.
The club regretted a former employee had been remiss in their duties.
In a statement, the family of Mr Hamed, who is now 27, said they were "relieved" a settlement had been reached, following a decade-long legal battle .
"Just as Radwan had no choice but to start his difficult journey towards recovery, we had no choice but to start the difficult journey to obtain justice," they said.
"We risked losing our home and faced personal financial ruin in order to pursue justice for our son.
"The club did not tell us or Radwan about his potentially fatal condition. Had they done so, Radwan would not have continued to play football."
The teenager collapsed during the game against Cercle Bruges on 4 August 2006 and was rushed to an intensive care unit but suffered oxygen starvation to his brain.
In the 2015 hearing, Mr Justice Hickinbottom ruled the club was 70% liable or Mr Hamed's injuries and Dr Peter Mills, the Football Association's regional cardiologist for South East England, was 30% liable.
The Premier League club will not be hit with a fee directly as their 70% portion was incurred by physicians they previously employed, who have agreed to indemnify the club.
Football Association rules require all football academy recruits to be referred to a cardiologist to help identify those prone to potentially fatal heart conditions.
Mr Hamed's MRI scan showed no obvious signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but Dr Mills wrote to Spurs saying the condition could not be excluded on these findings alone.
Eleven months later, the teenager, who was unaware his tests had revealed an "abnormal" heart condition, signed a contract with Spurs.

Barcelona forward Messi, 29, made his decision in June after missing a penalty in the shootout as Argentina lost to Chile in the Copa America, a fourth major final loss in nine years.
Bauza, who succeeded Gerardo Martino, said: "My sole intention is to see if I can talk football with Messi.
"From that will come the possibility of him being called up in our next games."
Argentina face 2018 World Cup qualifiers at home to Uruguay and away to Venezuela in the first week of September.
They are third in the 10-nation South American group with 11 points from six matches, two points behind leading pair Uruguay and Ecuador.

Bauza, 58, is a former central defender who has won the Copa Libertadores South American club competition twice as a coach.
Asked about Messi, he added: "I want to tell him my idea and for him to tell me how things are with him and then we'll see what comes out of it.
"I have felt frustrated for losing a match or a final and understand that statement [of quitting] when you are overwhelmed with frustration, but I know it can be reversed."

Summary: Lionel Messi could play for Argentina again after new coach Edgardo Bauza held talks with the five-time world player of the year.

Waites thrashed Jeff Smith 7-1 in Sunday's final at Lakeside.
The 38-year-old from Huddersfield had an operation on a rotator cuff problem in February.
"I had six weeks without throwing a dart - that's painful in itself. Now I'm taking the world title back home," he told BBC Sport.
"It's hard trying to come back from an injury and trying to get yourself to practice. Sometimes, no matter what you do, your body won't react with it."
Waites, who added to his previous Lakeside success from 2013, continued: "This week, I've prepared myself to play for two hours in a session and it's so difficult to do. My shoulder and my body wasn't happy with that.
"After I played Glen Durrant [in the quarter-finals on Friday] I ended up going to sleep at half past eight."

The 25-year-old forward has been signed for the second half of the Womens Super League season, which will resume for Blues on 29 June at home to Arsenal.
"It further outlines our intentions and vision of what we want to achieve at the club," said manager David Parker.
Blues fought off competition from some major European sides to sign Linden.
"It's a signal of the development the club is making not just in England but also in Europe that we are now attracting the top European players," added Parker.
She is the third German to join this season following the signing of Corina Schroder from Liverpool and the arrival in April of defender Marisa Ewers from Bayer Leverkusen.
On the back of two wins in three matches, Blues have climbed to third in WSL 1, seven points behind leaders Manchester City.
Linden said: "The conversations with David, (assistant manager) Marcus Bignot and (chief executive) Tim Andrews convinced me about the project and ambitions at the club.
"I'm looking forward to the new challenge to play in another country. I have always wanted to play in England."
Linden, who played at SGS Essen and Bayer Leverkusen before joining Frankfurt for the 2015-16 season, has represented Germany at every level.

Summary: Birmingham City Women have signed Germany international Ramona Linden from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Mr Ashley had been asked to give evidence about the treatment of his workers.
It follows a BBC investigation into the Derbyshire company's warehouse working practises.
Mr Ashley has until 21 March to respond after a letter from Hartlepool MP Iain Wright.
The letter reveals Mr Ashley had invited the Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) select committee - which Mr Wright chairs - to a meeting at the company's base in Shirebrook.
"The treatment of low-paid workers and enforcement of the national minimum wage are issues that the committee will be keeping under review over the coming months," Mr Wright's letter states.
"In line with select committees' commitment to transparency, it is normal practice for the BIS Committee to meet in public at Westminster and we agreed to adhere to this practice on this occasion.
"A number of alternative dates have been offered to you by the Committee Clerk, but... you have not accepted any of them, nor agreed in principle to attend.
"Should you fail in your reply to agree to attend on one of the dates offered to you...the committee reserves the right to take the matter further, including seeking the support of the House of Commons in respect of any complaint of contempt."
Sports Direct has not responded to the BBC's request for a comment.
The company has previously pledged to review worker rights, with oversight by Mr Ashley, who also owns Newcastle United Football Club.

Summary: MPs have threatened to seek a complaint of contempt against Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley if he fails to appear before them.

Neel Croos, 26, died from a head injury following a fight in Holborn Way, Mitcham on 23 November 2015.
Prashad Sothalingam, nicknamed Bullet, was one of several young men from the Tamil community who had been at a birthday party when violence erupted.
He was jailed after being found guilty of murder and wounding with intent at a retrial at the Old Bailey.
Sothalingam, who had previously been convicted of violent disorder, was told he must serve a minimum of 29 years in prison.
The court heard the killing was the result of a "power struggle" within the Tooting Boys gang between the Elders and Sothalingam's group, the Youngers.
Mr Croos's group, which was also armed, had been hunted down by Sothalingam's group.
Sothalingam had been at a birthday party on the fifth floor of a Morrison's car park in Mitcham, the court heard.
When they saw a rival faction arrive they attacked them with a variety of weapons.
One witness said he heard someone say in Tamil: "There they are. Go get them."
He told the jury he had seen Sothalingam, who he had previously seen playing football, swinging an axe at Mr Croos, hitting him on the head.
He also told the court he had seen other men carrying a sword, metal poles and socks stuffed with snooker balls or stones.
The judge also jailed Sugan Selvarajan for a total of 14 years for wounding with intent and violent disorder, and Sivakaran Ockersz for 31 months for violent disorder and an unrelated ATM fraud.
Visuparathan Dayaparan was sent to prison for 27 months after being convicted of violent disorder.
Sothalingam, 26, from Mitcham; Ockersz, 19, of Wallington; Selvarajan, 33, of Mitcham; and Dayaparan aka Visu, 24, of Mitcham, had denied the charges.

Summary: A man who murdered a rival gang member with an axe in south London has been jailed for life.

The eight-day hearing in Ebbw Vale is examining the request to take over 250 hectares (600 acres) of common land.
Backers, including Blaenau Gwent council, have offered around 320 hectares (800 acres) replacement land.
The inquiry has heard conflicting accounts from experts over claims the circuit would damage habitats and plant life by building on the common land.
Natural Resources Wales said it was "difficult to conclude" that the replacement land was of equal value, but it was not opposing the development overall.
But an ecology report presented by the developers said there would be a "net gain" in biodiversity because the plans included work to enhance other habitats nearby - which the Gwent wildlife trust argued against.
The Planning Inspectorate for Wales will make a recommendation after the inquiry in Ebbw vale, before Welsh government ministers have the final say on whether the plans can go ahead.

Summary: A public inquiry into the proposed Circuit of Wales in Blaenau Gwent has ended.

Two Diarmuid Murtagh goals helped Connacht lead 2-3 to 0-3 before Aidan Breen replied with an Ulster goal.
Damien Comer hit a third Connacht goal as they led 3-6 to 1-10 at half-time before Ulster took control.
Despite losing Chrissy McKaigue to a black card, Ulster hit 1-4 without reply, with Charlie Vernon netting.
McKaigue was joined in the Ulster squad at Carrick-on-Shannon by his Slaughtneil team-mate Brendan Rogers, despite their upcoming All-Ireland club championship duties.
Connacht started strongly with their scorer in chief Murtagh firing their opening goal after 7 minutes and again finding the net two minutes later.
Ulster responded well with Fermanagh's Breen finding the net for his provincial for the second time in a week with a 18th-minute goal.
Pete McGrath's charges cut the gap to two points twice over the next six minutes, and left the minimum between the sides for the first time, after a Tomas Corrigan score.
However, Connacht were causing the Ulster defence problems, with Galway's Comer cutting in for a 28th minute goal, as the hosts led by two at the break.
Ulster came fired up on the restart, and despite losing substitute McKaigue to a black card, kept motoring well.
Peter Harte and Corrigan added point before Vernon cut through for a goal in a spell which saw Ulster score 1-4 without reply.
Connacht could only manage two points from frees in the closing quarter, with Emyln Mulligan and Paul Conroy on target.
After the game Ulster captain Eoin Donnelly accepted the cup from GAA President Aogan O Fearghail.

Summary: Ulster won the Dr McKenna Cup for the second time in three years as they beat Connacht 3-17 to 1-9 in Sunday's final.

The eight-day race, a precursor to the Tour which begins on 2 July, starts with a 4km time trial on Sunday.
"There will be many challengers [in the Tour]. But if I must pick two, I would say Froome and Nairo Quintana," said Contador, also a two-time Tour winner.
"The Criterium will allow me to test myself against my rivals."
Team Sky rider Froome has won the Criterium in each of the two years he has won the Tour - 2013 and 2015 - but Contador, who rides for Tinkoff, has never won the Criterium.
"My primary objective is to finish [the Criterium] in good physical condition with respect to the Tour - to be ready," said the Spaniard.
"I'm not thinking about the overall victory but, obviously, if the chance is there..."
Astana's Fabio Aru and FDJ's Thibaut Pinot will also contest the Criterium, but Movistar's Quintana is not competing in the race.

Summary: Two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador says Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana will be his main rivals in the Criterium du Dauphine.

The red sand boa is a protected species, and looks like it has two heads, because its tail is shaped like its head to help it defend itself.
The snake is prized on the black market because many believe it brings good luck or has medicinal qualities.
Police in Bangalore arrested four people trying to sell the protected creature for $1,500 (Â£1,100).
Police said plain clothes officers had organised a sting by pretending to be interested buyers.
The market for the "two-headed" red sand boas was "basically another form of cheating", PS Harsha, the local deputy commissioner of police, said.
"It is invariably used to cheat people who have some belief that it will act as good luck charm."
Sharath Babu, a wildlife warden in Bangalore's Urban district, said "it is a fallacy that it has two heads... the head and tail of the snake look alike, so if anyone tries to catch it, it strikes from the other end which is the head".
Thanks to the superstition that the red sand boa will bring its owner treasure, demand for the snake is high, with people even hiring them out for ceremonies, Mr Babu told BBC Hindi.
"It is even used for conducting rituals that would bring in rain or money. It is even believed that the heavier the snake, the more riches it will bring. So, the black market dealers shove ball bearings and other objects into the snakes. These animals die a very painful death."
Luckily for this particular snake, though, it was rescued - and has now been set free in the Bannerghatta Biological Park on the outskirts of Bangalore.

Summary: Police in the southern Indian city of Bangalore have rescued a red sand boa constrictor that was being sold on the black market.

Supporters and colleagues gathered outside the Alvorada Palace to bid her farewell, some handing her flowers.
Ms Rousseff was dismissed last week after the Senate found her guilty of manipulating the budget.
She denies wrongdoing and has dismissed her impeachment as a "coup d'etat".
Brazilian television showed Ms Rousseff walking out of the presidential residence surrounded by former ministers and Congressmen from her Workers' Party.
How will history look back on impeachment?
Profile: Dilma Rousseff
Supporter Cecilia Monteir, 56, said she was "very, very sad, feeling like the country will be left a bit orphaned".
More supporters awaited Ms Rousseff as she arrived at an airport to board a plane to the southern city of Porto Alegre, her adopted hometown. On her arrival she was greeted by more well-wishers.
Hours after the impeachment vote, Ms Rousseff's vice-president Michel Temer, was sworn in, ending 13 years in power for the left-wing Workers' Party.
He will serve out Ms Rousseff's term until 1 January 2019.
Ms Rousseff has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court against the Senate's decision but correspondents say it has very little chance of succeeding.

Summary: Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has left the presidential residence in the capital, Brasilia.

Boyle struck the only goal in the 18th minute after lobbing over Graham Doyle following a moment of hesitancy in the Wexford defence.
Derry needed fine saves from Gerard Doherty to stay ahead as the keeper denied Conor O'Keeffe and Paul Murphy.
Josh Daniels also headed a Gary Delaney effort off the line in the second half as Derry endured some nervous moments.
Derry did go close to adding to their lead in the final five minutes of the game as Aaron McEneff clipped the Wexford crossbar with a long-range shot and substitute Jordan Allan fired just wide.
Kenny Shiels' side suffered a blow in the second half as goalscorer Boyle was forced off by an apparent hamstring injury.
With leaders Dundalk beating St Patrick's Athletics 2-0, the Candystripes remain nine points off the pace but they have edged to within six points of second-placed Cork City who were held to a 0-0 draw by Shamrock Rovers in Dublin.

Summary: Rory Boyle's first-half strike was enough to give Derry City victory over Wexford Youths at Maginn Park.

Llanberis Mountain Rescue was called out a record 43 times to Wales and England's highest peak in August - an increase it called "unsustainable".
Visit Wales' recent year of adventure campaign encouraged to visitors to "Find Your Epic".
The tourism body said the campaign was "an opportunity to promote safety".
Llanberis Mountain Rescue said many of those tackling the peak were unprepared in terms of knowledge and equipment, with many needing assistance.
Chairman of the team of volunteers, Rob Johnson, said "serious consideration" needed to be given to how the 3,560 ft (1,085m) peak was managed.
He said the drive to attract tourists contributed to an "unsustainable" rise in callouts - from 34 in August 2015 to 43 in August 2016.
The organisation relies on donations and about 1,000 volunteer hours were spent attending incidents - including an RAF helicopter crash landing.
He said many of the callouts were preventable and, with the right knowledge and equipment, they could have been avoided.
"We've attended a variety of incidents this summer but the most common have been lower-leg injuries, people too tired to continue and people crag-fast on Crib Goch," said Mr Johnson.
"It has been a massive commitment from a small group of volunteers."
Visit Wales, the Welsh Government's tourism team, said it encouraged visitors to participate in activities with accredited providers.
A spokeswoman added: "The year of adventure is also an opportunity to promote safety in the great outdoors.
"Mountain rescue teams do great work in helping people, but as the adventure sector continues to grow there is no doubt rescue teams will need the help of educators in minimising the risk of people needing their assistance.
"That's why we will continue to work with partners and the industry so that people can enjoy Wales and be safe."

Summary: A mountain rescue team has blamed a rise in callouts to Snowdon on a tourism campaign.

The A&E unit at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital could be downgraded, leaving the Royal Shrewsbury as the only hospital in the county to offer emergency and critical care.
Women and children's services would also be moved to Shrewsbury, despite a Â£28m centre opening in Telford in 2014.
The proposals have been made by the NHS 'Future Fit' board.
More updates on this and other stories in Shropshire
Urgent care centres would be based at both sites, which Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said would attend to the majority of patients who are currently seen at A&E.
These "preferred options" will be considered by Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Shropshire CCG, who will formally decide if a public consultation can begin.
The board is also recommending three other options be put forward for public consultation.
No formal decisions will be made until at least Summer 2017, Telford and Wrekin CCG said.
The NHS Future Fit programme was launched in 2014 to review the health system across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid-Wales and is set to finish in spring 2017.
Princess Royal Hospital in Telford:
Royal Shrewsbury Hospital:
There has been criticism of the plans to move women's and children's services from Telford.
Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, described the announcement as "a total farce that is being railroaded through" and said he opposed the idea of downgrading Telford's A&E department.
"If there is to be only one, then it makes sense from a financial and clinical perspective to locate it at Princess Royal Hospital; in the area where there is a growing population."

Summary: The A&E department at a Shropshire hospital could be closed under plans being considered by the NHS.

SSAFA said there were more than 3,000 calls to Forcesline from serving troops last year, up from 1,600 in 2014.
The service was set up at the Army's request after four recruits died at its Deepcut Barracks in Surrey.
SSAFA said the rise in the number of calls "although not a cause for panic, is reason for concern".
The charity's chief executive, Air Vice Marshal David Murray, said: "Those who serve in our armed forces are by their very nature resilient characters. They are then trained to be the most robust versions of themselves, so for some asking for help can be a real challenge.
"It is interesting that the service men and women who are contacting us are choosing to come to SSAFA, rather than their own chain of command, as the 'grin and bear it' attitude within the serving community remains strong."
He said it was "imperative" that the welfare of service personnel welfare remained a priority and troops did not feel they had to "deal with their issues on their own".
"They have been there when our country has needed them and we must be there when they need us," he said.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "The government is absolutely committed to the wellbeing of our armed forces and provides a wide range of support both during and after service.
"We enshrined the armed forces covenant in law and have introduced a raft of measures designed to improve service life.
"The government works in close partnership with the service charitable sector on these issues and we value contributions such as this."
SSAFA, formerly known as the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association, has a network of 7,000 volunteers providing support for serving personnel as well as veterans.
Between 1995 and 2002, four Army recruits died from gunshot wounds in unexplained circumstances at Deepcut, sparking allegations of bullying and abuse.
The Army said all of the deaths were suicides but, in each case, the families disagreed.
A second inquest is taking place into the death of one of those recruits, Private Cheryl James, more than 20 years after her death.
Among other things, the coroner will consider accusations that there were "shortcomings" with barracks policies on sexual behaviour, supervision of young women, drugs, alcohol and accommodation.
In total, the SSAFA helpline received 21,983 requests for help in 2015, up 6% on the year before.

Summary: The number of armed forces personnel seeking help for mental health problems has more than doubled in a year, a charity has said.

The French manager has yet to say whether he will sign a new contract to stay beyond this season, but believes the spirit he has created in 20 years at the club can live on without him.
"It's more natural for local players because they have been educated in Arsenal - players like Ramsey, Chamberlain," Wenger said.
"They have to take charge."
He added: "They should lead and take responsibility to say 'yes, that is how we want to behave, this is how we want to play, let's go together'.
"If they didn't want it, that would be a huge disappointment."
Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City (kick-off 15:00 BST), which could be Wenger's last trip to Wembley Stadium, is also his 11th semi-final as Arsenal manager. It is the Gunners' last chance of a trophy this season.
Wenger could field as many as five British players - Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs and Rob Holding - but he says a player's nationality is less important to him than "players who integrate the values of the club" and are "ready to defend these values".
"A lot is said about my future but my future is more important in the value and spirit of what we have built in 20 years than my own person," added the 67-year-old Frenchman.
In the opposite dugout, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has happy memories of Wembley as both a player and a manager with Barcelona.
The Spaniard was a member of the Barca side who won the European Cup at the ground in 1992 and he was manager when the side beat Manchester United 3-1 in the Champions League final in 2011.
Guardiola said: "Wembley in my life has been so important in terms of football. We were able to win the first Champions League when Ronald Koeman made a fantastic goal against the Sampdoria of Roberto Mancini.
"The second one, we beat one of the best teams in the world in Manchester United at Wembley and, especially the way we played, always I will remember in my heart.
"Wembley is an important part of my life. Going back there will always be special."

Summary: Arsene Wenger says local players like Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should take charge if he leaves Arsenal this summer.

Italian artist and sculptor Maurizio Cattelan created the fully functional 18-carat gold lavatory, which he has titled America.
The, ahem, interactive exhibit has been installed in one of the Guggenheim's public bathrooms, reports the New Yorker.
The Fifth Avenue museum describes the piece as "a bold, irreverent work".
The lavatory replaced one of the Guggenheim's porcelain toilets in a one-person, unisex restroom.
Visitors who pay museum admission will be able to use it as they wish.
The Guggenheim said the piece is "ultimately reminding us of the inescapable physical realities of our shared humanity".
The exhibit is aimed at "making available to the public an extravagant luxury product seemingly intended for the 1 percent", according to the museum.
"Its participatory nature, in which viewers are invited to make use of the fixture individually and privately, allows for an experience of unprecedented intimacy with a work of art," said the Guggenheim.
Cattelan, a Milan-based artist and a truck driver's son, hinted earlier this year that his creation had been inspired by economic inequality.
The exhibit has also drawn comparisons with Marcel Duchamp's avant-garde "Fountain", the porcelain urinal he exhibited in New York in 1917, causing a sensation in the art world.
Cattelan, 55, is known for his provocative sculptures, including La Nona Ora (The Ninth Hour), which depicted Pope John Paul II floored by a meteorite.

Summary: New York's Guggenheim museum has unveiled a toilet made entirely out of gold.
