The 30-year-old is to remain there following the completion of a psychiatric report.
Belfast Magistrates' Court was told she would not be able to leave without the hospital's permission.
The woman cannot be named amid claims that identifying her would increase the risk of her taking her own life.
A press challenge to the temporary reporting restrictions is due to be heard next month.
The woman was arrested by detectives investigating the child's death following an incident in Belfast in March.
She was charged with murder and then held under the Mental Health Act.
Her barrister revealed on Wednesday that a medical report had now been prepared.
Based on its contents he sought a termination of the current arrangements for keeping his client at the facility.
"The application is that she be remanded on bail, subject to the condition that she continues to reside (there)," he said.
A doctor who assessed the accused confirmed that the health trust consented to the proposal, provided the accused was there as a detained person.
The judge was informed that under those arrangements the woman would not be able to leave.
Granting the application, she listed the criminal proceedings for a further update in eight weeks time.

Summary: A woman charged with the murder of a three-year-old girl in Belfast has been granted permission to remain at the Mental Health Unit.

The proposals, which are subject to parliamentary approval, allow farmers to clear drainage ditches and streams without asking permission.
Farmers had complained that the Environment Agency was micro-managing flood control.
But academics told BBC News that diverting water off farmland could increase floods where people live.
The policy change was announced Environment Minister Liz Truss at the Oxford Farming Conference after what the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said were two successful pilot schemes.
She said: "We will allow farmers across the country to maintain their own ditches up to 1.5km in length from April, so they can clear debris and manage the land."
The decision was welcomed by the National Farmers' Union (NFU).
Its president, Meurig Raymond, said: "The NFU has pressed Defra and the Environment Agency to enable farmers to undertake minor works for many years."
But Professor Alan Jenkins from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology said he feared the policy could backfire.
"Waterlogged fields are no use to farmers," he said. "They can't maintain their productivity on waterlogged soil so it makes sense for them to manage their fields accordingly.
"There is a potential downside however, in that if we increase drainage in fields during heavy rainfall it's possible there will be increased and faster transmission of water in the river system with a possible increase in flood risk downstream."
Katherine Pygott from the consultancy firm Peter Brett agreed.
"If you are a landowner you may want to maximise productivity on a grouse moor by making it drier - but if you are trying to protect a town you want to keep water back on the uplands.
"It very much depends on local conditions - sometimes it would be unhelpful to speed drainage, sometimes it would not.
"There is a risk of making a free-for-all on drainage. It would be more sensible to make the existing system work."
A government spokesman said over a million acres of prime farmland would be better protected through government investment in flood defences in the 10 years to 2021.

Summary: Experts are warning that plans to allow farmers to clear water courses on their land could make floods worse in towns.

Laurence Shahlaei, originally from Cheltenham, took the title in Leeds from two-time title holder Hafthor Bjornsson who is also famed for his role in the popular television series.
Mr Shahlaei, nicknamed "Big Loz", said: "He's a great strongman but it was my day and it felt really good to win."
The 32-year-old is the first Englishman to win the title in 27 years.
Standing at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 22 stone (145 kg), the Wiltshire-based athlete had to overcome injury last weekend to take the crown.
"I've had a rough few years with injuries and to come back and win Europe's Strongest man has just meant the world to me," he said.
"There's five different events that you have to do. I did a 420 kilo dead lift, which was good enough for joint second and then we did a frame carry - it's a race and you're running a 20-metre course while carrying 450 kilos, which is close to 90 stone, and I won that event."
Competitors also had to lift a 177kg (28 stone) block above their heads "as many times as possible" as well as tackling the infamous Atlas stones - an event synonymous with strongman competitions.
But it was running 20m (65ft) with a Volkswagen Beetle on his shoulders in around 11 seconds that clinched the title from Iceland's Hafthor Bjornsson.
"My favourite of the competition was the car walk.  Imagine Fred Flintstone running in his car - that was basically me," he said.
"I actually broke the world record on that event.  They made the car even heavier this year and I managed over a second off my world record - which was really, really good."

Summary: A British man has won the European Strongman Championships for the first time.

O'Leary had taken the claim to Fifa following his dismissal in April 2011, one year into a three-year contract.
The League Managers' Association (LMA) said despite having sacked O'Leary, the United Arab Emirates club claimed the Irishman had abandoned his job.
The 55-year-old has been awarded the full sum due under his contract.
"Club officials had openly stated to the media at the relevant time that there had been a dismissal," said an LMA statement.
Al Ahli also argued that Fifa lacked jurisdiction to hear the claim, but football's world governing body rejected both lines of defence.
O'Leary said: "It has taken a long time to deal with this matter but I am pleased that all issues have now been finalised.
"I hope my case provides reassurance to all managers and coaches working all over the world that there is a formal system in place that provides employment protection."
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan added: "We are clearly delighted with the outcome. In addition, the LMA is extremely grateful to the FA for their assistance in initiating the process with Fifa.
"The added significance and wider impact of this process is the proof that Fifa has mechanisms in place which regulate worldwide employment issues.
"It is extremely encouraging to know that the world governing body can provide a means of redress for managers and coaches at all levels seeking to establish their employment rights, wherever in the world they happen to work."

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

Summary: The police watchdog is considering legal action against plans to merge parts of Gloucestershire and Gloucestershire.

The US investment bank will switch to video interviews with first-round undergraduate candidates from next month.
Each year the bank hires about 2,500 students as both summer and full-time analysts.
Goldman hoped the move will allow it to find students who do not attend top-tier US universities.
Edith Cooper, Goldman's global head of human capital management said: "We want to hire not just the economics or business undergraduate but there is that pure liberal arts or history major that could be the next Lloyd Blankfein."
Mr Blankfein, the bank's chief executive, went to Rutgers, an institution that is not part of the elite group of US universities known as the Ivy League.
Chief operating officer Gary Cohn went to the American University, also outside the Ivy League.
Goldman recruits from 400 colleges and universities globally and 225 in the US.
The bank will still have a presence on college campuses, but planned to use it promote other opportunities. It will still conduct second-round interviews in person.
The shift will not affect business schools or professional hires, but is part of a broader move by Goldman to use technology in the hiring process.
The new method will include structured interviews, which the bank said will allow for greater comparisons between candidates and "more objective and informed hiring decisions".
Goldman is also experimenting with personality questionnaires, which it feels may help to predict how successful a person will be at the firm.

Summary: Goldman is scrapping face-to-face interviews on university campuses in a bid to attract a wider range of talent.

The members of the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency, conspired with criminal hackers, according to DOJ officials announcing the charges.
Previously, Yahoo said "state-sponsored" hackers were behind the 2014 breach affecting 500 million accounts.
The suspects are also alleged to have targeted Google accounts.
Hacking was directed at Russian and US government officials, including security, diplomatic and military personnel, according to the DOJ.
The indictment also alleged that 30 million Yahoo accounts were commandeered without authorisation for use in a spam campaign.
"We will not allow individuals, groups, nation states, or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies, or the security of our country," said acting attorney general Mary McCord, announcing the charges.
The suspects were named in a DOJ press release as:
Baratov was arrested on 14 March in Canada.
One of the alleged hackers has been on of the FBI's most wanted cyber criminals for more than three years, according to acting Att Gen McCord.
The suspect in question, Alexsey Belan, was aided by the FSB who - according to the DOJ - provided him with "sensitive FSB law enforcement and intelligence information that would have helped him avoid detection by US and other law enforcement agencies outside Russia".
"We would hope [Russia] would respect our criminal justice system and respect these charges," said acting Att Gen McCord, acknowledging the fact that the US does not have an extradition treaty with Russia.
"The United Kingdom's MI5 made substantial contributions to the advancement of this investigation," added FBI executive assistant director Paul Abbate.
Yahoo was criticised for the delay in informing users about the 2014 breach.
The stolen data included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and encrypted passwords, but not credit card data, according to Yahoo.
Last year, users were advised to change their passwords.
Around eight million UK accounts were believed to have been affected - including some users of BT and Sky email services.
"The indictment unequivocally shows the attacks on Yahoo were state-sponsored," Yahoo said in a statement, responding to the DOJ announcement.
"We are deeply grateful to the FBI for investigating these crimes and the DOJ for bringing charges against those responsible."
The DOJ said that the charges have no connection to the hack on the Democratic National Convention last year.

Summary: Two Russian spies are indicted by the DOJ over a huge theft of Yahoo user accounts.

An Environment Agency severe flood warning - meaning danger to life - was removed from the A361 between East Lyng and Burrowbridge on 10 March.
Residents in the area saw their homes cut off and experienced long diversions as a result of the closure.
The road has been inspected by council highways officers and reopened at 17:00 GMT.
There is still some water on a short stretch of the road and Somerset County Council said temporary traffic lights will be installed to protect the carriageway and allow motorists to pass safely.
Councillor Harvey Siggs, responsible for Highways, said: "I'm delighted the A361 is to reopen at long last.
"Our highways teams have been working hard all week to clear the road and make sure it is safe, and I would like to publicly thank them for their efforts to get this key route open before the weekend."
A further inspection will take place early next week and the temporary traffic lights will be removed as soon as the remaining water has receded and the road judged to be safe, the council said.
Mr Siggs added: "Although the road is clear, the rhynes at the side of the road remain full of water so I would urge motorists to take extra care when driving, particularly in the foggy conditions we have seen over the last few days."
The clear-up of the A361 started on Monday with the removal of fallen trees and the cutting back of damaged vegetation.
Around 30 tonnes of used sandbags were removed before a sweeping and cleaning operation covered the 1.5 mile section of carriageway.
The council said that the road closure on the A372 Langport Road will remain in place next week for the removal of flood pumps.
With improving weather conditions the large temporary pumps at Beer Wall, near Aller, are no longer needed, it added.
The Environment Agency expects to begin removing the pumps on Monday and work is likely to take up to four days.
The road will remain closed after the pumps have been removed so the council can assess flood damage and carry out emergency repair works.

Summary: A road in Somerset which closed when it was engulfed by flood water has finally reopened.

Residents in the area saw their homes cut off and experienced long diversions as a result of the closure.
The road has been inspected by council highways officers and reopened at 17:00 GMT.
There is still some water on a short stretch of the road and Somerset County Council said temporary traffic lights will be installed to protect the carriageway and allow motorists to pass safely.
Councillor Harvey Siggs, responsible for Highways, said: "I'm delighted the A361 is to reopen at long last.
"Our highways teams have been working hard all week to clear the road and make sure it is safe, and I would like to publicly thank them for their efforts to get this key route open before the weekend."
A further inspection will take place early next week and the temporary traffic lights will be removed as soon as the remaining water has receded and the road judged to be safe, the council said.
Mr Siggs added: "Although the road is clear, the rhynes at the side of the road remain full of water so I would urge motorists to take extra care when driving, particularly in the foggy conditions we have seen over the last few days."
The clear-up of the A361 started on Monday with the removal of fallen trees and the cutting back of damaged vegetation.
Around 30 tonnes of used sandbags were removed before a sweeping and cleaning operation covered the 1.5 mile section of carriageway.
The council said that the road closure on the A372 Langport Road will remain in place next week for the removal of flood pumps.
With improving weather conditions the large temporary pumps at Beer Wall, near Aller, are no longer needed, it added.
The Environment Agency expects to begin removing the pumps on Monday and work is likely to take up to four days.
The road will remain closed after the pumps have been removed so the council can assess flood damage and carry out emergency repair works.

Summary: A road in Somerset that was closed for more than a week due to flooding has reopened.

The 50 year-old said she was "lucky to be here" after falling ill at home and looking up her symptoms online.
O'Donnell wrote on her blog that she searched "women's heart attack symptoms", which included sudden nausea and aches, before taking a few aspirin.
She visited a cardiologist the next day, who inserted a stent into an artery that was 99 per cent blocked.
O'Donnell said her chest began to ache last week and she became nauseous and feverish after helping a woman who was struggling to get out of her car in her Nyack village home, near New York.
In the blog entry on her website, a poem entitled "my heart attack", O'Donnell revealed the type of attack was known as the "widow maker".
The star, who has acted in several films and TV shows including Drop Dead Diva, Will and Grace and Nip/Tuck, also said she did not call the emergency services.
However, she issued a warning to her readers: "Know the symptoms ladies, listen to the voice inside, the one we all so easily ignore, call 911."
She recently hosted The Rosie Show on the Oprah Winfrey Network but the daily talk and gameshow was cancelled in March due to low ratings.

Burials were held for 33 of the 84 people whose bodies have been recovered. Several local people are still missing.
Thousands of people gathered in the square outside the town's main church to pay their respects in front of a long row of coffins.
Rescue workers are still searching the local river for victims.
One resident of Salgar particularly hard hit is the city's cemetery worker who has prepared 15 graves for members of his own family - mostly cousins who died in the flood.
A spokesman for the national emergency authorities said he expected to end the search for victims on Thursday or Friday.
He said between 20 and 25 local people caught in the flood had not been accounted for.
Locals and firefighters have been searching a 40km-long (25 mile) stretch of land on the banks of the Liboriana river.
Most of the residents were asleep when the landslide hit at 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Monday.
The landslide was triggered by heavy rains that sent torrents of water and mud crashing into the La Liboriana ravine, causing an overflow that destroyed the neighbourhood below.

The Ayrton Light, located above the Great Bell - known as Big Ben - needs to be fully dismantled and restored. A temporary light will replace it.
Installed in 1885, it was previously turned off only during both world wars.
Big Ben will not chime regularly until 2021 because of repairs to the tower.
The light is said to have been installed at the request of Queen Victoria, so that she could see from Buckingham Palace when members of either the Commons or the Lords were sitting after dark.
It is named after Acton Smee Ayrton, a Liberal politician who was First Commissioner of Works between 1869 and 1873.
It is not yet known when the light will switch off, or how long it will be off for.
Big Ben will not be heard from midday on Monday. The House of Commons has said it will look again at the length of time it will be silenced after "concerns".
Parliament said it had to protect workers carrying out the renovations.
But Prime Minister Theresa May said "it can't be right" that the bell will not chime regularly again for four years.
It will still sound for important events including New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday.

Summary: A light that has been turned off for four years is to be turned off for the first time in the UK's history.

Investigators from the League Against Cruel Sports said they saw no gunmen and heard no shots when they filmed the Jedforest Hunt in February 2016.
However, Malcolm Henderson told a court he had been there with a shotgun.
John Clive Richardson, 66, and his son Johnny Riley, 24, both deny deliberately hunting a fox with dogs.
Mr Henderson, who has worked with the hunt for the past two years, said he had been at the site near Jedburgh on the day in question.
He told Jedburgh Sheriff Court he was present when a fox was flushed from cover and pursued by hounds towards his gun which the law permits.
He told the trial: "I was there.
"I was down in the dip but they (the investigators) would not see me from where they were standing."
Earlier in the trial, Mr Richardson had told the court that Mr Henderson had shot and wounded the fox.
Mr Richardson and Mr Riley, of Bonchester Bridge, deny breaching the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002.
The trial will continue later this month.

Jason Alexander, 39, used a company credit card to buy almost £91,000 of iPads, phones and computers.
Alexander, of Griffithstown, Torfaen, admitted fraud and was jailed for two years in January.
But at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday, a judge ordered him to pay back £115,000 to his ex-employers.
"It seems you were doing it as some kind of philanthropic act," Judge Stephen Hopkins QC said.
"In some cases spending £5,000 on items and then selling the items to employees for as little as £180 on the philanthropic basis they will not have been able to buy the items themselves."
He ordered Alexander to pay his ex-employers £115,867 within six months or face an additional 18 months in jail.
"You had an enormous impact on a large number of perfectly innocent people," the judge added.
"Those to whom you sold goods to now feel stupid and stressed.
"The impact upon your colleagues has been awful. You have stolen from the company and there was a dip in morale for a period.
"This was a gross and serious breach of trust over a substantial period of years."
Alexander had control of spending at car parts company, Northern Automotive Systems in Gilwern, near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
He made 287 purchases on internet sites such as Amazon, eBay and Argos.
The court heard the company's usual monthly credit card bill was in the hundreds, but when Alexander became purchasing manager the bill "increased to nearly £10,000 per month".
But his scheme was discovered when suspicious company managers asked employees if they had bought cut-priced electrical goods.
The conman deleted emails as well as falsifying invoices, receipts and card statements to cover his trail.
Alexander, who had worked at the company for 14 years, bought petrol for his white Land Rover, red Mini and his partner's Ford Fiesta.

Summary: A man who used money defrauded from his employers to buy then sell computers to colleagues at knock-down prices must hand back more than £100,000.

Mark Piper is jointly charged with murdering Levi Blu.
Levi died in 2013 of internal bleeding. His mother Danielle Cassin is also accused of murder.
A woman told a jury at Birmingham Crown Court she saw Mr Piper being violent with his other child, who was five at the time, in 2012.
The incident happened in the living room of Mr Piper's Chelmsley Wood home after he banned the youngster from playing on a games console, she said.
The witness said Mr Piper swore at his son and dragged him out the room before poking and prodding him in the face by the stairs.
"He (the child) was crying," said the woman, who met 31-year-old Mr Piper through a mutual friend.
"He punched him in his stomach at the same time on the stairs. It was hard, enough to hurt him.
"I have never seen anyone hitting a kid like that. It was rough. It was how you would hit your friends messing about. The little boy was crying. He was really upset."
But Paul Lewis QC, defending Mr Piper, wanted to know why the punch was not mentioned in her original police statement.
"I was lying (to the police)," she said.
"I didn't want to seem like a grass."
Mr Lewis questioned how she could be sure about the words Mr Piper had used when she made her police statement months after the incident.
He highlighted a message sent by the witness about Piper which said: "He loves all his kids and looks after them well. I just don't understand all this."
Levi was found at the flat his parents shared in Nightingale Avenue, Chelmsley Wood, on 20 February 2013.
Both Ms Cassin, 27, of Frensham Close, Chelmsley Wood, and Mr Piper, of no fixed abode, deny murder.
They also deny causing or allowing the death of Levi and causing him suffering.
The trial continues.

Summary: A man accused of murdering his son had previously punched his other son in the stomach, a court heard.

Nineteen sailors were killed and a further 30 injured when the Type 42 destroyer took a direct hit during the Falklands War on 25 May 1982.
As the ship sank in just 20 minutes, it took with it many documents and equipment which were of "importance to the security of the United Kingdom", said Clive Gale.
He was part of a 39-strong Royal Navy team which carried out a number of dives on sunken ships, including HMS Coventry, over a four-month period beginning in the autumn of 1982.
Recalling the HMS Coventry search, he said: "We were very conscious that we were diving on a war grave and the casualties that went down with the ship.
"We actually visited their grave and that stays with you."
Carrying out Operation Blackleg was a physically demanding and dangerous mission for those involved, with some dives lasting for up to eight hours.
"We were 8,000 miles from any kind of rescue facility," Mr Gale added.
"There was still hostilities with Argentina and to cap it all there was a 500lb (227kg) unexploded bomb in the wreck somewhere.
"The whole mission was fraught with near misses.
"Cutting into a steel structure underwater traps oxygen and if you hit it with a spark it explodes quite violently.
"One chap lost the front plate out of his helmet and nearly drowned.
"I was knocked unconscious and had to be pulled back into the bell by a colleague of mine."
Mr Gale admits the mission, 300ft (91m) under the ocean's surface, was to "recover or destroy certain items".
But some things brought back from HMS Coventry, like the cross of nails, were not on the official list.
"I took off the big brass plaque while somebody else recovered the bell and the cross of nails was found," he continued.
"All these things that were really personal to the ship's company were then presented to Coventry Cathedral after we'd finished the job."

Summary: A naval diver who searched the wreck of HMS Coventry after it was sunk during the Falklands War has described how he was told to ensure secret information from the ship did not get into the wrong hands.

The Crown Estate said that leasing the sites for technology development was "critical" for the UK to unlock the potential of wave and tidal energy.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said the benefits could be significant in terms of the economy and renewable energy.
Wales's first commercial tidal energy farm is due to launch off Anglesey in summer 2016.
Its electricity generators will operate like wind turbines but with blades driven by tidal wave action.
Menter Mon and Wave Hub were confirmed by the Crown Estate as managers for the west Anglesey tidal and south Pembrokeshire wave demonstration zones respectively.
They will prepare and manage the sites for sub-letting to developers.
In addition, development rights for a tidal site off Holyhead Deep have been granted to Minesto.
Rob Hastings, director of energy and infrastructure at the Crown Estate said: "By providing these additional seabed rights we are pleased to be enabling further technology development and commercialisation, which will be critical if the UK is to unlock its significant natural resources for wave and tidal current energy.
"This innovative approach to leasing the seabed sees us responding to market demand and introducing managed demonstration zones to give other organisations the opportunity to lend tangible support in their local areas."
First Minster Carwyn Jones said: "The energetic waters off our coast are ideal for marine renewable energy projects.
"Our ports, supply-chain infrastructure and grid infrastructure also put us in an enviable position for developing a thriving marine energy market, both as a significant generator and as an exporter of marine energy knowledge, technologies and services."
Gareth Clubb, director of Friends of the Earth Cymru said: "To having testing sites approved for marine renewable energy is a significant step forward."

Summary: Sites for testing wave and tidal energy off the west coast of Anglesey and south Pembrokeshire have been approved.

The Northern Irishman came third on 5-2 favourite Box Office in his final race, won by 9-1 shot Brother Tedd.
McCoy, 40, had earlier finished third on Mr Mole behind winner Special Tiara in the AP McCoy Celebration Chase.
An emotional McCoy said: "It's amazing. I've been so lucky all my life. I'll never forget this day."
McCoy, who has ridden more than 4,300 career winners, added: "I want to thank everyone for coming. All my family were here and it's very special. An unbelievable day I'll never forget.
"There were tears coming back on Box Office. There were nearly tears going out on Box Office.
"I feel very lucky I have ended my career in one piece."
Discussing his record-breaking career, he added: "Someone's going to ride more winners than me. All records get broken. I hope I'm dead, though."
Jockeys formed a guard of honour amid huge cheers as the rider was honoured at the Surrey track.
Colleagues lifted the Arsenal supporter as he collected the champion jockey's trophy for a 20th and final time, from former Gunners striker Ian Wright.
The terraces around the parade ring were packed as a capacity crowd of more than 18,000 gathered, and a rendition of "For he's a jolly good fellow" rang around the stands.
Wright paid tribute, adding: "AP McCoy is made of something else altogether. For 20 years he has been at the top of his game, riding winners, week in, week out. I can think of no other sportsman or woman who can match his record."
McCoy has ridden in more than 16,000 races and suffered an estimated 1,000 falls in a remarkable career.
He did not compete in the feature race, the Bet365 Gold Cup, which was won by 17-year-old jockey Sean Bowen on Just A Par.
Bowen, tipped as a potential future champion, was completing a double on the day after victory on Lil Rockerfeller in the opener.
But there was a sad note to the afternoon for Just A Par's trainer Paul Nicholls when Rolling Aces died following the second race after collapsing on the walkway when returning afterwards.

Summary: Jockey AP McCoy has become the first jockey to win a double at the Cheltenham Festival.

Colleagues lifted the Arsenal supporter as he collected the champion jockey's trophy for a 20th and final time, from former Gunners striker Ian Wright.
The terraces around the parade ring were packed as a capacity crowd of more than 18,000 gathered, and a rendition of "For he's a jolly good fellow" rang around the stands.
Wright paid tribute, adding: "AP McCoy is made of something else altogether. For 20 years he has been at the top of his game, riding winners, week in, week out. I can think of no other sportsman or woman who can match his record."
McCoy has ridden in more than 16,000 races and suffered an estimated 1,000 falls in a remarkable career.
He did not compete in the feature race, the Bet365 Gold Cup, which was won by 17-year-old jockey Sean Bowen on Just A Par.
Bowen, tipped as a potential future champion, was completing a double on the day after victory on Lil Rockerfeller in the opener.
But there was a sad note to the afternoon for Just A Par's trainer Paul Nicholls when Rolling Aces died following the second race after collapsing on the walkway when returning afterwards.

Summary: AP McCoy missed out on a winner but was saluted by a sell-out crowd as the 20-time champion jockey ended his racing career.

The ruling is likely to encourage thousands of passengers with similar claims in the UK.
Jet2 argued the compensation payments should be delayed pending the outcome of a similar case in the Netherlands.
But the judge at Liverpool County Court ruled that "a line should now be drawn. Justice delayed is justice denied".
The EU has ruled that airlines must pay compensation for delayed flights, but a number of airlines have yet to pay out.
Four airlines in the UK have made applications to delay payments: Jet2, Thomas Cook, Ryanair and WizzAir.
The Jet2 case heard in Liverpool involved Kim Allen, who claimed â‚¬400 (Â£292) compensation after an almost seven-hour delay when flying from Manchester to Malaga in 2012.
"We've all been kept waiting for so long, but I'm really happy with today's decision," she said after the judge's ruling.
"Hopefully now it's time for the airlines to pay us what the law says they should."
Her solicitor, Kevin Clarke from Bott & Co, said he hoped "the airlines will now finally face up to their obligations to passengers and to settle the hundreds of thousands of legitimate claims outstanding.
"Sadly, the history of their conduct over the last decade would tell us to expect yet another legal challenge."
The issue stems from the 2004 European regulations that oblige airlines, in some cases, to pay compensation to passengers for cancellations and delays, if they are not due to extraordinary circumstances.
A further ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2009 confirmed that delayed passengers should be treated as if their flights had been cancelled, if the delay was longer than three hours, entitling them to cash compensation.
Despite the ruling, a number of airlines in the UK are still arguing that some technical problems should be classified as extraordinary circumstances, and as such, no compensation should be due.
They have also argued that paying compensation for delays of three hours or more is disproportionate and too great a burden.

Summary: A judge in Liverpool has ruled that airlines must pay compensation to passengers who have been delayed by up to three hours or more.

The alleged spying by the National Security Agency (NSA) "must be explained and more importantly new trust must be built up for the future", she told German MPs.
The allegations dominated the news during an EU summit last month.
Ms Merkel said the NSA affair was putting EU-US trade talks to the test.
She also said Germany's relations with the US "are of paramount importance".
The German government has said it is keen to hear directly from the fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden about the agency's collection of phone and internet data.
But Germany says it cannot offer him asylum because he would have to make his application on German soil.
According to his leaks, the NSA targeted communications among Washington's Western allies, including Ms Merkel's mobile phone and EU offices.
"The accusations are grave," Ms Merkel said in her statement on Monday. She did not comment specifically on the alleged bugging of her phone.
The Bundestag - Germany's lower house - is holding a special debate on the NSA spying allegations.
The scale of NSA surveillance in Germany is not clear, and last month Germany sent some senior officials to Washington to find out more.
German media report that the German secret services exchange intelligence with their US counterparts.
But recently the British newspaper the Independent, citing leaks from Mr Snowden, said the UK spy agency GCHQ had tapped into communications using a listening post on the roof of the British embassy in Berlin.
Mr Snowden, 30, fled to Russia in June after leaking details of far-reaching US espionage. He has temporary asylum, allowing him to live in Russia, until July 2014.

Summary: Merkel has warned that reports of US spying in Germany - including bugging her mobile phone - are straining EU-US ties.

John Glen, Conservative MP for Salisbury, said any decision to make the A303 a dual carriageway must include protection for the World Heritage site.
Mr Glen said a tunnel was the only "realistic solution".
A government feasibility study is already under way to consider the various options for the road.
Speaking in a Westminster debate, Mr Glen said the road, which runs from Hampshire to Devon, had become the "devil's highway" and "one of the most notorious traffic blackspots in the country".
He joined other South West MPs calling for the government to consider the wider economic, environmental and safety benefits of improving the road.
However, he cautioned that any plans to turn part, or all, of the 92 mile (148km) road into a dual carriageway must include protection for Stonehenge.
Mr Glen said he had been told by English Heritage, the National Trust and the Council for British Archaeology that Stonehenge would be "formally placed on the at-risk register," if a dual carriageway was constructed close to the historic site without adequate protection.
Plans for a tunnel were initially shelved in 2007 when the government said the estimated cost of Â£510m was too expensive.
"A poorly designed and badly executed" dual carriageway which could "undermine a 5,000 year old world heritage site is not an improvement worth fighting for," Mr Glen said.
Transport Minister Robert Goodwill said the government hoped an announcement on the future of the A303 would be made in the autumn.

Summary: A Salisbury MP has reignited calls for a tunnel to be constructed alongside the Stonehenge monument.

Stocktrade is being transferred to the Dundee-headquartered firm for £14m in cash.
Its most recent annual revenue was £9m, with £1.3m in pre-tax profit.
Last September, Stocktrade had £4.3bn of assets under management. The buyer said it now stands at £4.6bn, bringing 48,000 new customers.
That should increase the scale of Alliance Trust Savings to £11.5bn in assets under management, with 105,000 customers, allowing for more efficient operations.
It will also increase the Dundonians range of services, including telephone and online share dealing services for pension providers, building societies, company share schemes and corporate Individual Savings Accounts.
Brewin Dolphin said the sale would only clear a net gain of £1m, after paying for separation costs.
The deal still requires clearance from regulators, and is expected to close during this year.
Alliance Trust Savings was part of the strategy last month criticised by Elliott Advisers, the hedge fund and activist investor in parent company Alliance Trust.
In criticising the Dundee company's management, it succeeded in getting two new directors appointed. They could have sought to block further expansion of the financial retail platform. But it appears, from this deal, that they have agreed to expenditure on growth.
Alliance Trust believes that the expansion could help its savings division into profit by 2016, apart from the cost of integration.
Patrick Mill, managing director of Alliance Trust Savings (ATS), said: "Stocktrade is a great strategic fit for ATS, giving us access to new customers, an increase in assets and the opportunity to build a strategic partnership capability.
"It also gives us the ability to align a traditional stockbroking business with our innovative, scalable and cost effective approach by offering customers online access alongside our in-house customer service team."

Summary: Alliance Trust Savings has announced plans to buy an share trading company from Brewin Dolphin.

JP Nadeau was reportedly struck by lightning mid-sentence in his apple orchard in New Brunswick, Canada.
"And just as I told my new son-in-law 'You're a lucky guy' - Boom!" he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Aside from a small scar on his thumb, Mr Nadeau says he was unscathed and the wedding proceeded.
Storm clouds had gathered behind him at the ceremony on 8 July, he said, and his daughter saw lightning strike the ground nearby.
"I had the microphone and the shock jumped into the sound system and my hand just lit up and I saw the spark," he told the CBC.
"And I'm looking at my hand and it's all flared up… It was like I was holding a lightning bolt in my hand, it was amazing."
Everyone was stunned at first, but that didn't stop the happy couple from continuing with the festivities.
"It was a beautiful wedding," Mr Nadeau's wife, Maggy Thomas, told the CBC.
"But that was pretty terrifying for a second."
Mr Nadeau says he's a lucky-unlucky man - in 2015, a cruise ship he was working on near the Falkland Islands caught fire, and he was rescued by the British Royal Air Force.
"I've had lots of brushes with death," said Mr Nadeau. "But death keeps ignoring me."

Summary: No one likes a dull wedding, but one father-of-the-bride's speech was a little too electrifying at his daughter's ceremony last weekend.

Hastings Pier is being rebuilt with £14m of money raised mainly through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It is now hoped a further £300,000 can be raised by selling 3,000 shares for £100 each.
The charity behind the restoration said investors would have a say in the pier's future.
The 140-year-old structure was almost completely destroyed by fire in October 2010.
Simon Opie, CEO of the Hastings Pier Charity, said the shares were important to continue interest in the pier after its restoration.
He said: "[The shares] are not just about the money, but it is about creating shareholder members, people who are invested in the pier, people who care about the town, the heritage of the pier, and people who will be here for the long term.
"The money that we have raised will restore the pier but beyond that it needs to have an economically viable future and that's what we hope we will create."
The Panamanian company Ravenclaw, which owned the pier, was issued with a compulsory purchase order after it failed to carry out repair work.
The order was granted in 2012 and the council formally took ownership of the pier in August.
It is hoped the restoration will be completed by spring 2015.
Hastings Council leader, Jeremy Birch, said: "This is the people's pier so let them have a stake in it."
The shares will go on sale on Saturday through a community shares website.

Summary: A community group has raised £300,000 to restore a historic pier in Hastings.

On Thursday, the firm acknowledged it read the anonymous blogger's emails in order to identify an employee it suspected of leaking information.
Microsoft owns Hotmail, a free email service now called Outlook.com.
John Frank, deputy general counsel for Microsoft, said it took "extraordinary actions in this case".
While the search was technically legal, he added Microsoft would consult outside counsel in the future.
Microsoft's actions came to light this week as part of a legal case by US prosecutors against an ex-Microsoft employee, Alex Kibalko, who was a Russian native based in the company's Lebanon office.
In 2012, Microsoft had been alerted to the fact that the blogger, whose identity was kept anonymous in the court papers, had been given some stolen lines of code from the not-yet-released Windows 8 operating system.
The blogger then posted screenshots of the unreleased Windows operating system to his blog.
To figure out the source of the leak, Microsoft began an investigation and, as part of that search, looked into the blogger's accounts to find out the name of the employee.
The search was legal because it fell within Microsoft's terms of service which state that the company can access information in accounts that are stored on its "Communication Services", which includes email, chat areas, forums, and other communication facilities.
The terms of service add: "Microsoft reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication Services and to remove any materials in its sole discretion."
Nonetheless, revelations of the search have led to renewed focus on the privacy violations of technology firms.
It has also left Microsoft in a difficult position, as the firm has often criticised rival Google for its automatic scanning of users' emails in order to serve them with advertising.

Summary: Microsoft has defended its decision to search its Hotmail service after a blogger posted a leaked email.
