Article:IAG-owned Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling will also provide wi-fi. Many rival airlines already offer internet access during flights, with some providing it free of charge. But one travel expert warned in-flight internet was often unreliable and was unlikely to influence travellers' airline choices. "My first experience with wi-fi on a flight was about five years ago, when it was offered for free by Norwegian," said Simon Calder, travel editor at the Independent. "There has not been much take-up because it's not always reliable and many people actually want to disconnect on a flight. "But it may be that BA and IAG have cracked it and can offer something vaguely reliable." IAG said up to 341 of its planes would be fitted with wi-fi technology provided by satellite communications firm Inmarsat. The company told the BBC it would be the responsibility of each airline brand to decide whether to charge passengers an access fee. "I don't believe there are many people making flight decisions based on availability of wi-fi," said Mr Calder. "If investment is needed, it should be taking place in the airport where internet access is often terrible, expensive or complicated. "Most people would find airport wi-fi more useful than being able to send emails on a plane." Summarize the main points of that article.

British Airways will offer wi-fi internet access on its short-haul flights from 2017, its owner IAG has announced.

Question: Article:Buckingham Palace said the 86-year-old monarch is suffering from gastroenteritis. She had been due to present members of 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh with leeks to mark St David's Day. She will now spend the weekend at Windsor and will be "assessed in the coming days". By Peter HuntRoyal correspondent At 86, the Queen has robust health. She's opened countless hospitals. She's rarely been an inpatient. So it's unusual for her to pull out of an official engagement. The last time was five months ago when she had a bad back. While she rests at Windsor Castle this weekend, her doctors and officials will have to decide whether or not she is well enough to fly to Rome next week. She has been invited by Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano. It will be an encounter between an elected head of state who is retiring and a hereditary monarch who continues to reign. As well as a formal ceremonial welcome and a private lunch, the Queen is also due to visit the Pantheon, the ancient Roman monument where two Italian kings are buried. Theirs was a monarchical dynasty less fortunate than the House of Windsor. Gastroenteritis causes an inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines. The infection can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated food and drink. Symptoms can include vomiting, fever and stomach ache. It was due to be the first time that the Queen was to present leeks to 3 Royal Welsh, which is the reserve force of the regiment. However, Saturday's ceremonies, including a parade to Swansea's Guildhall, have still taken place - despite the Queen's absence. The Lord Lieutenant of West Glamorgan, Byron Lewis, took over the ceremonial role. Saturday's celebrations were due to follow other royal events on St David's Day itself on Friday in Cardiff. The Queen's illness could also affect a planned two-day trip with the Duke of Edinburgh to Rome next weekend. She has been invited by Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano. A palace spokesman said the visit was still due to take place but a decision will be made after she was assessed. On Thursday, the Queen spent the day at Buckingham Palace where she presented honours to a number of Britain's 2012 Olympic winners. Olympians honoured included heptathlon winner Jessica Ennis, who received the CBE and Team GB cycling boss Dave Brailsford who was knighted. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: The Queen has been forced to cancel a visit to Swansea on Saturday to celebrate St David's Day, after developing symptoms of a stomach bug. Question: Article:Media playback is not supported on this device The 27-year-old was suspended and faced missing the Olympics before the first test was declared void. Speaking before Sunday's road race, a tearful Armitstead told BBC Sport she would "never cheat in life". "In this situation I'm never going to win. If I win, people will say it's because of something else," she added. The Yorkshire rider, who won a silver medal at London 2012, is among the favourites to triumph in Rio after winning a Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) appeal. She had her first missed test rescinded after Cas ruled the doping official "didn't do what was reasonable and necessary" to find her. Armitstead says she was "in the place where I should have been" and points out she gave a negative test the following day at the UCI Women Road World Cup. The second strike, relating to an inconsistency on a form over her whereabouts, was a "stupid mistake" which came shortly after she became world champion last year. She would not discuss the "traumatic" family circumstances which led to missing the third test earlier this year. Had her appeal not been successful, Armitstead would have faced a ban of up to two years. Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm not at the point of accepting it yet - but I will have to come to the point of accepting that people will doubt me forever," she said. "I'm absolutely devastated because people are going to judge me and my family. I will never cheat in any walk of life. "It's a very difficult time but I've kept it together and put it into perspective. I've trained very hard and not let it slip. "It has been very emotional - it has been been a rollercoaster that I'm glad to get off. I'm very grateful to be here to race." Armitstead's former team-mate Nicole Cooke, Olympic road race champion in 2008, had suggested she had little sympathy for anyone who missed three tests - and the pair had a public spat in the lead-up to London 2012 Games. However, Armitstead believes she will not receive a negative reaction from her current team-mates or Olympic rivals in Rio. "I think they understand the scrutiny I'm under," she said. "I feel extremely guilty that I've had to put team-mates through extra media questions." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:

British world road cycling champion Lizzie Armitstead believes people will "forever" doubt if she is a clean athlete after missing three drug tests.

Under the NLW, workers who are over 25 will see their minimum pay rate rise from £6.70 to £7.20. More than one in 10 employees in Northern Ireland can expect a pay rise as a result, research has suggested. The Nevin Economic Research Institute (Neri) has used official wages data to calculate the local impact. It suggests that one in three employees in the hospitality sector are in line for a pay rise. In both retail and residential care more than one in four employees can expect a pay rise. Consequences Women and younger workers are most likely to feel the benefit of the policy. The Neri research only considers those who will automatically get a pay rise as a result of the NLW. Those industries which face the biggest impacts have warned of its negative consequences. The Northern Ireland Hotels Federation has suggested that some hotels and restaurants will close because they cannot afford the increased costs. Retailers have also warned that businesses will struggle. Cost The Independent Health and Care Providers association had warned that "the market will fail" unless they receive an increased tariff from the Health and Social Care Board. It is understood the Health and Social Care Board has agreed to raise the tariffs for residential homes by 5%. The tariff for domiciliary care is set by health trusts and they are expected to make their decisions on tariffs next week. The Office for Budget Responsibility has suggested that the NLW could cost jobs. Its "central" scenario - the one judged most likely - is that total UK employment by 2020 would be 60,000 less than would otherwise have been the case. PwC economist Esmond Birnie has calculated that the impact in Northern Ireland could be 2,000 to 4,000 jobs lost or foregone by 2020. What is a summary of this text?

The National Living Wage (NLW) takes effect from Friday and should mean a pay rise for tens of thousands of workers in Northern Ireland.

The Reds, without Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho due to a back injury, fell behind to Stefano Okaka's header. Sadio Mane equalised with a clinical finish only for Abdoulaye Doucoure to restore the lead from close range. Roberto Firmino's penalty made it 2-2 before Mohamed Salah thought he had won it only for Britos to bundle in. In Jurgen Klopp's 100th competitive game as Reds boss, Liverpool wasted a string of chances before Uruguay defender Britos headed over the line from point blank range following a ricochet. Watford keeper Heurelho Gomes, who conceded the penalty after hauling down Salah, denied Alberto Moreno with a fingertip save. Joel Matip also hit the bar and Dejan Lovren forced another good save as the Reds dominated the closing stages until Watford's late leveller. The six-goal thriller came on the back of Friday's opening match of the 2017-18 campaign which produced seven goals as Arsenal beat Leicester 4-3. It was a case of new season but same old Liverpool on the opening Saturday of the campaign. As good as Liverpool were at going forward, their defensive frailties - all too evident last season - came back to haunt them. Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk has been linked with a move to Anfield and Liverpool's performance at Watford will only serve to increase Klopp's urgency to strengthen his defence. Liverpool were behind after failing to defend the first corner of the match, unmarked Italian striker Okaka allowed to power home Jose Holebas' delivery. Media playback is not supported on this device In the space of 161 first-half seconds, the Reds went from outstanding at one end of the pitch to atrocious at the other. They equalised with a sumptuous finish by Mane, the Senegal forward collecting a lovely flick by Emre Can before scoring from an angle. It was Liverpool's first serious attack of the game yet moments later they were trailing again after more awful defending. The Reds' defence made a hash of trying to clear Tom Cleverley's low ball across the box and Doucoure slotted home from five yards - his second goal since joining Watford from Rennes in 2016. A clumsy foul by Gomes on Salah allowed Firmino to make it 2-2 from the spot before the Brazilian turned provider with a delicious lob which enabled Salah, a £34m signing from Roma, to put his side ahead on his league debut. It should have been the winner yet Liverpool's defence failed to deal with another Holebas corner, allowing Britos to score three minutes into added time. Klopp said Watford's dramatic equaliser should not have counted because he believed it to be offside. Britos was stood immediately in front of keeper Simon Mignolet when substitute and new signing Richarlison put the ball across goal. "It's obvious because the linesman is on the line. He needs to see it," said Klopp. "I cannot change it. We would have had defensive areas we need to work on if we'd won 3-2. We were the better team, we should have won." Watford boss Marco Silva said he had not seen whether his side's equaliser was offside. Silva's side were minutes away from losing a seventh successive Premier League match before Britos had the final say in the former Hull City manager's first league game in charge of the Hornets. Seven of the side that started against Liverpool were part of the team that was crushed 5-0 at home to Manchester City on the final day of last season. Yet the Hornets produced an encouraging performance under their new Portuguese boss which suggests they could finish higher up the table than last season's 17th-placed finish. Midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah was the only one of Silva's six summer signings to start - club record £18.5m buy Andre Gray beginning life on the bench and coming on in the second half. Watford manager Marco Silva said: "I think it's a fair result. We had a very good first half, a good intensity like I wanted. "I didn't like the first 25 minutes of the second half. We expected a good reaction from Liverpool but we needed to be better. We made mistakes. But we reacted well. "Our fans pushed our players on. We had some small injuries. We need to show this attitude and commitment in all our games." Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "The first half I wasn't too happy with. We passed but couldn't see what we actually wanted. "The second half was a lot better. We forgot to close the game. We defended a little deep. We have to push up. Both teams struggled with 90 minutes, it's the first game. That's normal." Liverpool will hope for a better defensive performance when they face Hoffenheim in Germany on Tuesday in a Champions League play-off (19:45 BST). Watford have a week to prepare for an away game at Bournemouth on 19 August (15:00 BST). Match ends, Watford 3, Liverpool 3. Second Half ends, Watford 3, Liverpool 3. Attempt blocked.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Leicester Lions will "definitely" be competing in 2017 despite their current financial problems, according to co-promoter David Darcy." Article: A: Darcy said riders have not been paid for "quite a while" and the Elite League club postponed their final meeting of 2016 on Saturday. But he told BBC Radio Leicester: "I can assure all Leicester fans that speedway will be raced at Leicester next season. "We will be in the Elite League next season without any doubt." Lions finished bottom of the league table following a miserable season on and off the track, but Darcy is confident of a fresh start, with further details to emerge after the club's Annual General Meeting on 1 November. "Another sponsor will come on board and there could be a new promotion team involved," Darcy added. "There are things in the pipeline that I can't talk about before the AGM. "We have had financial problems but speedway will definitely be running at Leicester next season." Problem: Write an article based on this "A Brazilian evangelical pastor, Marcelo Crivella, has been elected mayor of Rio de Janeiro in the second round of municipal elections." Article: A: He won easily, beating left-wing candidate Marcelo Freixo by a margin of nearly 20 percentage points. Mr Crivella has promised to bring law and order and basic sanitation to Rio's poorer neighbourhoods. His victory shows the growing influence of evangelical politicians amid voter anger over a corruption scandal. Marcelo Crivella is a bishop in the giant Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, founded by his billionaire uncle, Edir Macedo - the main Pentacostal denomination in Brazil. Although Brazil is the largest Roman Catholic country in the world, the growing evangelical community now accounts for a fifth of the population. During campaigning the 59-year-old faced uproar over comments made in a 1999 book where he described homosexuality as evil and the Roman Catholic church as demonic. But Mr Crivella won easily, successfully distancing himself from the comments and promising to govern for Rio's residents, not the influential church from which he comes. Observers say his victory was also helped by voter anger over a second year of economic recession and the fallout from a huge corruption scandal involving many members of the former government of the left-wing Workers Party. The evangelical message has taken root largely among the poor in Brazil who before would have voted on left-wing lines. Several high profile cases of evangelical leaders caught up in corruption allegations, including the former leader of the lower house of Congress Eduardo Cunha, have yet to damage the movement. Elsewhere in Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo, voters ousted incumbent mayor Fernando Haddad, once considered a rising star of the governing Workers Party, and replacing him with Joao Doria, a wealthy conservative businessman. Problem: Write an article based on this "Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart has teamed up with a Chinese company to bid for the country's largest private landholding, the Kidman estate." Article: A:

The A$365m ($276.8m, £222.8m) offer would see Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting hold 67%, with the rest held by Chinese firm Shanghai CRED. The bid hopes to overcome government concerns about foreign investment. Previous Chinese-led bids were blocked by the government, which cited national security concerns. Treasurer Scott Morrison said the sale of Kidman's vast holdings to Chinese buyers was not in the national interest. The landholding - with its 10 cattle ranches, a bull breeding stud and a feed lot covering 101,411 square kilometres (39,155 square miles) in four states - encompasses about 1.3% of the Australian continent, about the same size as South Korea. But it also contains the world's largest cattle station, Anna Creek. Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board said it was concerned part of that property was inside a military weapons testing range in South Australia. Kidman has since taken Anna Creek farm out of the sale. The new offer, led by Ms Rinehart, will also need regulatory approval. Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said he welcomed the interest by the Australia-led consortium. "I'm always enthusiastic when ... a majority Australian company is buying Australian land," he old Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "Most Australians prefer it if a large Australian asset is majority owned by Australians as opposed to majority owned by foreigners." 101,411 sq/km of overall territory 77,300 sq/km to be sold 1% of Australia to change hands 15,000 tonnes of beef carcass shipped globally per year Kidman was founded in 1899 and with Anna Creek accounts for about 2.5% of the country's agricultural land. It is currently 33.9% foreign-owned. The company's chairman John Crosby welcomed the "significant investment proposed in addition to the purchase price and (we) are confident that the Kidman business will be in good hands".

Write an article based on this summary: When pop star Justin Bieber's Mumbai concert was announced, his Indian fans went into a tizzy.

Each of them wanted a ticket to the concert. But for some, the venue, a stadium in a suburban area of Mumbai, was too far to travel, and for others tickets were too expensive, the best reportedly priced at 75,000 rupees (£905; $1,165). But that did not dampen the spirits of the fans, popularly known as Beliebers, who chose to follow the concert on TV and social media. And then local media reported about an exhaustive list of things Bieber wanted in Mumbai. Some described the list - which included a washing machine, glass-door refrigerators and a jacuzzi - as bizarre. But this too did not deter his diehard Indians fans from supporting him. So it seemed nothing could go wrong for Bieber in India... at least not until he performed. Looking at the euphoria before his concert, nobody expected any negative feedback. But some felt that the singer lip-synced some of his songs, and that did not go down well with his fans. Many have taken to Twitter to express their feelings about the singer's performance. Justin Bieber has not made any comment. Some fans, however, chose to defend Bieber, saying Indians should not feel offended because they are used to Bollywood stars lip-syncing songs recorded by professional playback singers. And some are also upset about the choice of his casual clothes on stage. And finally, Bieber reportedly left India shirtless, and it didn't go unnoticed in the media... or maybe he was just changing his shirt?

Question: Article:The Liberal Democrats lost two seats, as well as its group leader, while Labour lost one of its four seats and UKIP lost its only one. Turnout for the county-wide vote was nearly 40%, the council confirmed. Meanwhile, Labour won two of the three controversial new parish councils in Swindon. Election 2017: Full results from across England The Conservatives gained seven seats to hold more than two-thirds of the Wiltshire Council chamber, while the Lib Dems now hold 20, Independents seven and Labour three. Lib Dem opposition leader Glenis Ansell lost her seat in Calne North to the Tories, but her party did have the satisfaction of winning Melksham Central from UKIP. Gavin Grant, the Lib Dem councillor for Malmesbury, said it was "desperately sad" to lose Glenis Ansell, but added: "It's very noticeable in areas that voted Remain in last year's referendum we are performing extremely strongly and are well placed to challenge Brexiteer Conservatives." Baroness Jane Scott, the current Conservative council leader, said the Tories had "started to make inroads into the market towns". "I've been a councillor for over 20 years and those market towns for a long, long time were dominated by the Liberal Democrats," she said. "We're just beginning now to really change that, quite considerably, and that's quite important because we don't want a spilt county - rural and urban - we want a totally united county." In Swindon, Labour won two of three new parish councils created to save borough council funds. Labour took majorities in the North Central and South Central councils, with the Conservatives winning in West Swindon. The creation of parish councils was controversial as the Conservative-run borough council created them to transfer the cost of services such as grass cutting and street cleaning. Critics said the changes were not wanted and would result in council taxpayers paying more. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: The Conservative Party has increased its majority at Wiltshire Council, securing 68 out of 98 seats. input: Article: Regent Superbowl and the indoor market in Great Yarmouth were engulfed by a seven-hour blaze on Friday. The attraction in Regent Road was on the town's main tourist thoroughfare. Jim Palmer, of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: "To enable the town to return to normal, we have to start bringing this building down now." Great Yarmouth Borough Council said work had been completed on Saturday to make the site structurally safe and to allow firefighters in the ground floor to dampen down hot spots over the weekend. It said following expert advice, material containing asbestos would now need to be cleared from the site. "A clean-up crew wearing protective gear are starting to remove the debris and another team has started to board up windows [opposite]," it said in a statement. A stretch of the pedestrianised road will be blocked until an inspection on Monday and shops inside the cordon cannot re-open until "further notice". At the blaze's height, the pillar of smoke billowing from the country's oldest working bowling alley could be seen up to 11 miles away. People and businesses across the area have rallied around to support the market's shop owners, with an online fundraising page already generating around £1,700 of its £2,000 target. The building's owner, Philip Thompson, said he believed some of the 40 traders were uninsured and plans to re-build the complex in time for the next summer season. "I am just so concerned about the people who trade underneath in the market," he said. "I feel responsible that we've got to get this open as soon as possible. "I've had to pay £25,000 just to make it safe overnight." An investigation into the cause is ongoing. Summarize. output: Demolition teams have started knocking down a fire-ravaged bowling alley and indoor market complex in the heart of a seaside resort. Mr Davutoglu said the incident was unfortunate but that Turkey had a right and duty to protect its airspace. The body of a pilot killed in the incident is being flown home. Also on Monday, a Russian military spokesman said Russia has armed its Su-34 fighter jets over Syria with air-to-air missiles for the first time. While he did not mention which particular threat the missiles were meant to counter, it comes six days after the Russian plane was shot down by Turkey. Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, appearing with Mr Davutoglu in Brussels, said the alliance fully supported the right of member nation Turkey to defend its airspace. He said there was concern about increased Russian presence in the region, but that the focus was on calming the situation. Turkish forces shot down the Su-24 plane on 24 November, saying it had violated Turkish airspace, which Russia denies. Mr Davutoglu urged Russia to reconsider the economic sanctions that Moscow has announced. The row between the two countries shows no sign of abating, with Russia saying President Vladimir Putin would not meet his Turkish counterpart at the current climate summit in Paris. Russia said on Monday it would ban mainly imports of agricultural products, vegetables and fruits from Turkey, although it may delay the restrictions for several weeks to "ease inflationary pressure". Turkish industrial goods would not be banned for now but future expansion of the sanctions was not ruled out, officials said. Turkey and Russia have important economic links. Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner, while more than three million Russian tourists visited Turkey last year. Meanwhile, the coffin of Lt Col Oleg Peshkov left Ankara's Esenboga International Airport on Monday after a military ceremony. The Turkish military issued a press release saying a Turkish garrison commander and a Russian delegation observed a military and religious ceremony before the body of Lt Col Peshkov left on a plane for Russia. Lt Col Peshkov's body had been flown to the capital from southern Turkey on Sunday. Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu earlier said that the pilot's body had been treated in accordance with Orthodox Christian tradition. It was reportedly handed over to Turkish authorities by rebels from Syria's ethnic Turkmen community in the Hatay region in the early hours of Sunday. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear but Turkmen rebels said they opened fire on Lt Col Peshkov and his co-pilot as they tried to parachute into Syrian government-held territory last Tuesday. The other pilot, Capt Konstantin Murakhtin, survived and was rescued from rebel-held territory in Syria in a special forces operation that left another Russian dead. Russia says it has been carrying out air strikes on Islamic State (IS) militants inside Syria, although Nato members have said it is also hitting rebel groups who are fighting both IS and Russia's ally, President Bashar al-Assad. Sum:

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said Turkey will not apologise for bringing down a Russian jet on the Syrian border.

Write an article based on this summary: Robin van Persie ensured the David Moyes era at Manchester United began with a trophy as Wigan were beaten in the FA Community Shield at Wembley. Article:

New United boss Moyes has spent most of his summer discussing the future of Wayne Rooney, but back on the pitch it was last year's top scorer Van Persie who again proved the difference. The Dutchman took just six minutes to open his account for the new season, steering a powerful header into the corner from Patrice Evra's clipped cross. "It was an excellent performance from Manchester United. They dominated Wigan, who did not put David De Gea in the Manchester United goal under any pressure. There were many positives for David Moyes. The win has relieved a little bit of pressure on him." And while Championship side Wigan impressed for periods, Van Persie settled the contest after the break when he fired in via a deflection. In truth, a victory against last season's surprise FA Cup winners was the minimum required from Moyes's meaningful debut in the United dugout as he began the ominous task of replacing Sir Alex Ferguson. And while his side looked sharp in spells - with veteran Ryan Giggs particularly impressive in the opening stages - Moyes may have been concerned by the ease with which Wigan controlled the ball either side of half-time. Owen Coyle's team were comfortable during that period and, had summer signings Grant Holt and James McClean linked up with more accuracy, could have caused United more problems. Once Van Persie found a second goal for United, though, the game was won, leaving Moyes to contemplate his first managerial honour since guiding Preston North End to the Division Two title in 2000. The discussion will now inevitably return to the status of Rooney, who was deemed unfit to feature with a shoulder injury sustained in his sole pre-season run-out for United, but fit enough to play at least some part for England back in this stadium on Wednesday against Scotland. Robin van Persie has scored seven goals in his last six games against Wigan Athletic. United started like champions, with the first goal of the Moyes era coming from a predictable source. Van Persie started the move by spinning a pass out to Evra on the left wing before making his way into the area. Evra looked up and picked out the Dutchman, who evaded his markers to power in a wonderful header from 15 yards. It was a fabulous finish and threatened to all but end the contest before it had really begun. For the following quarter of an hour Wigan - with Holt left increasingly isolated up front - were left chasing shadows as the impressive Wilfried Zaha, Giggs and Danny Welbeck interchanged at will behind Van Persie. But the storm was weathered by the Latics, who ended the half on top with McClean twice putting in testing balls across the face of goal which Holt could not reach. When David De Gea flapped at a set-piece to allow Emmerson Boyce and then Leon Barnett a chance to head at goal, Wigan will have felt hopeful of getting back into the game. And it was the Championship side who continued to set the agenda after the break until Van Persie struck again in the 59th minute. Again Evra started the move, linking with Tom Cleverley on the left before finding Welbeck on the edge of the area. The England man could have shot but played it to Van Persie, who, despite having four defenders in close attendance, was able to turn on to his left foot and fire in a low shot which took a deflection off the heel of James Perch and wrong-footed Scott Carson. That signalled a comfortable end to proceedings, with both sides making changes and former Latics midfielder Antonio Valencia going closest to a third goal when he shot wide. United will face a sterner test at Swansea on Saturday, while for Wigan it is back to life in the second tier at Bournemouth. Wigan manager Owen Coyle: "We always knew that it would be a tough afternoon, we conceded an unbelievable finish. The header could only go in one place. But we had a good spell either side of it and United got a fortuitous second goal which finished the game. "We are trying to get back to playing these elite teams every week. We are building a good side here, I am still looking to add to that, though my chief executive may not want to hear that! "There is a lot we can take from today's game. James McClean wants to focus on his football and he was pleasing on the eye. He caused them problems and could have scored." Manchester United manager David Moyes: "I class that as another piece of silverware for Sir Alex. It was his team that won the league by 13-15 points so it's his team. The ones going forward will be down to me. "Wilfried Zaha has done well in pre-season and it was right for him to feature today. He picked up an injury. We are looking forward to using him as the season goes on." Full Time The referee ends the match. Adnan Januzaj takes a short corner. Clearance made by Nouha Dicko.

Chris Langton told Australia's ABC Radio that it was "the fairest way of travelling". Rather than pay for a seat, passengers pay a fixed price per kilogram, which varies depending on the route length. Samoa Air flies domestically and to American Samoa. It is thought the move could encourage other airlines to introduce similar policies. "Airlines don't run on seats, they run on weight, and particularly the smaller the aircraft you are in the less variance you can accept in terms of the difference in weight between passengers," Mr Langton told ABC radio. "Anyone who travels at times has felt they have been paying for half of the passenger next to them." Under the new model, Mr Langton described how some families with children were now paying cheaper fares. "There are no extra fees in terms of excess baggage or anything - it is just a kilo is a kilo is a kilo," he said. Air Samoa's rates range from $1 (65p) to around $4.16 per kilogram. Passengers pay for the combined weight of themselves and their baggage. Mr Langton also suggested that the move had helped promote health awareness in Samoa, which has one of the world's highest levels of obesity. "People generally are becoming much more weight conscious. That's a health issue in some areas," he told ABC Radio. Mr Langton said he believed that charging by weight was "the concept of the future." "People generally are bigger, wider and taller than they were 50 years ago," he said. "The industry will start looking at this." What was that article about?

Article: The group is notorious for some of its members beating a woman to death in a McDonald's restaurant in 2014 after she refused to give them her phone number. The Church of Almighty God cult was started in the 1990s and claims Jesus was resurrected as a woman in China. Chinese authorities frequently crack down on the cult, having arrested many of its members over the years. As part of the current detention, police also confiscated computers and books used by the cult for recruitment. The Church of Almighty God refused to give a direct response to the BBC and referred to its US-based website which contains multiple alleged testimonies of believers tortured by Chinese authorities. The cult's core belief is that "Almighty God, Christ of the Last Days" has returned to earth as a Chinese woman to wreak the apocalypse. The only person who claims direct contact with this woman is a former physics teacher, Zhao Weishan, who founded the cult 25 years ago and has since fled to the United States. The cult is also explicitly anti-communist, referring to China's communist party as the "red dragon". While many Christian sects find it hard to worship freely in China, the Church of Almighty God is accused of isolating members from friends and families and pressuring them to donate money in exchange for salvation. The Chinese cult that kills 'demons' After the 2014 McDonald's killing, several cult members were arrested and two later executed. They had attempted to recruit the 35-year-old victim in the restaurant in the town of Zhaoyuan in May 2014. When she refused to give her phone number, the group believed that she was "possessed by an evil spirit", the court statement from the conviction said. The group then beat the woman with chairs and metal mop handles. She died at the scene from her injuries. China's crackdown on the cult predates the McDonald's murder however. There were a string of arrests in 2012 in Qinghhai and Zhejiang where nearly 100 members were sentenced to prison, including several senior members. In 2014, more were arrested in Hubei and Xinjiang. In August 2016 local police in Anhui detained 36 members accused of creating and spreading video content for the cult. ++++++++++ Summarize: Police in China have detained 18 suspected members of a banned religious cult, state news agency Xinhua said. Problem: Kane Williamson's side have won all four games at the tournament but lost to England in a warm-up match, as well as in ODI and T20 series last summer. They are yet to play in Delhi, while Wednesday's match will be England's third straight game at the venue. "We know the conditions more than New Zealand will," said all-rounder Stokes. "Probably we do have a slight mental advantage over them. We beat them in the warm-up game and we beat them in the summer as well. But we're not going to take too much from those two games." Media playback is not supported on this device Stokes praised England's fighting spirit after they lost their first game against West Indies and conceded 229 runs to South Africa in their second - before going on to chase down that total and then beat Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. "The way we bounced back from the first three innings of our tournament - since then we've come on leaps and bounds," he said. "That just proves the character that we've got, the never-say-die attitude - I think that comes from youth as well. The way we've played has been the best thing - we've all played the way that we've done for our counties." New Zealand are ranked second in the world in T20, two places above England, and having reached last year's World Cup final, have won 12 of their past 13 matches at global limited-overs tournaments. "We're not going to be going into this game thinking we've won it already, because we know New Zealand are the form team and they're hard to beat, especially in this format at the moment," Stokes said. "It's going to be tough to get out into the middle and try and perform our skills against the form team. But if we can perform anything like we have done over these last two games, we should do well." What was that article about? A: Recent wins and knowing the Delhi pitch give England a "mental advantage" over New Zealand for their World Twenty20 semi-final, says Ben Stokes. Problem: The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) says one-form entry primaries and secondaries with 600 pupils or fewer will "fall off a cliff" financially unless new funds are found. The government says it has been protecting school budgets. Independent experts say they face real-terms cuts of 8% to cover cost rises in pension, pay and national insurance. The Institute of Fiscal Studies says having been insulated from real-terms cuts over the last Parliament, schools are likely to feel the pinch more over the current Parliament, with spending per pupil set to fall. A one-form entry primary has about 210 pupils, just 65 less than the average-sized primary school. Some 20% of primaries (3,478) in England have fewer than 200 pupils, and 30% (5,037) have fewer than 300 pupils. The average-sized 11-to-16 secondary has about 970 pupils, while a three-form secondary has about 450 pupils and a four-form primary has about 600. Malcolm Trobe, interim general secretary of the ASCL, told the BBC: "At some smaller schools, the funding will become such that they would not be able to support their teaching infrastructure. "They will not be financially viable. "One-form entry primary schools, and three- to four-form entry secondary schools, are going to find it extremely difficult, especially in low-funded education authorities. "This size of school is quite common, and they are under real threat. "They are going to find it extremely difficult to provide a full curriculum and maintain the support staff infrastructure needed to run the school. "It's all down to the cost pressures that have come home to roost - the unfunded pay rises, national insurance costs and pension contributions." He said with continuing delays to the publication of the long-awaited new national funding formula, due now to be introduced in 2018, schools were really struggling. "The big, big issue is because [the Department for Education] is not doing anything until 2018, they really need to do something for schools who are going to fall of a cliff financially or run into a wall in 2017." He suggested schools might find solutions to their funding issues by sharing specialist teachers with a group of neighbouring schools. Alternatively, they might choose to share some of their support services with other schools. The Department for Education said: "In reality the schools budget has been protected and in 2016-17 totals over £40bn, the highest ever on record. "The government's fairer funding proposals will ensure that areas with the highest need attract the most funding and end the historic unfairness in the system." What was that article about? A:

Thousands of smaller primaries and secondaries in England are becoming financially unviable, heads say.

Summarize this article in one sentence. Dear Theresa, When we met in Glasgow on Monday, I wished you well for the negotiations that lie ahead now that you have formally invoked Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. I want to reiterate those good wishes now. I very much hope that you succeed in realising your ambitions for the terms of the UK's future relationship with the EU. A good deal for the UK is clearly in Scotland's interests whatever constitutional future we choose. It is for that reason that I intend that the Scottish government will play a full and constructive role in securing such an outcome. I expressed my frustration on Monday that the process leading up to the invoking of Article 50 had failed to involve the devolved administrations in any meaningful way - a view that I know is shared by the First Minister of Wales. Far from securing a UK-wide approach ahead of invoking Article 50 - as you committed to do last July - the voices of the devolved administrations were largely ignored and all attempts at compromise rejected, in most cases with no prior consultation. As we move forward into a new phase, we need to agree a more direct role and influence for the devolved administrations, reflecting the key interests that are at stake for all of us. However, whatever outcome is secured, it seems inevitable that it will remove the UK, not just from the EU, but also from the single market. As you are aware, that is not an outcome that the people of Scotland voted for. It is also an outcome that will have significant implications for our economy, society and place in the world. In these very changed circumstances, the people of Scotland must have the right to choose our own future - in short, to exercise our right of self determination. Indeed I noted the importance you attached to the principle of self determination in your letter to President Tusk. As you are aware, the Scottish Parliament has now determined by a clear majority that there should be an independence referendum. The purpose of such a referendum is to give people in Scotland the choice of following the UK out of the EU and single market on the terms you negotiate, or becoming an independent country, able to chart our own course and build a genuine partnership of equals with the other nations of the UK. A copy of the motion passed by Parliament on 28 March 2017 is attached. The decision of the Scottish Parliament has been made in line with the tradition of popular sovereignty in Scotland - that the people of Scotland should be able to determine the form of government most suited to their needs - and with the clear commitment in the manifesto on which my government was re-elected last May. I am therefore writing to begin early discussions between our governments to agree an Order under section 30 of the Scotland Act 1998 that would enable a referendum to be legislated for by the Scottish Parliament. I have, of course, noted and carefully considered your public position. However, it seems that we are in agreement on the essential matters. For example we agree that now is not the time for a referendum. You confirmed to me on Monday, and repeated in your letter invoking Article 50, that you intend the terms of both the UK's exit from the EU and of a future trade deal to be agreed before March 2019 and in time for ratification by other member states - in other words, between the autumn of next year and the spring of 2019. As you are aware, this is the timescale endorsed by the Scottish Parliament for a referendum. As I have said previously, if the timetable you have set out changes, we will require to consider the implications for the timing of a referendum. However, it seems reasonable at this stage to work on the basis of your stated timetable. We are also in agreement that - unlike the EU referendum - the choice must be an informed one. That means that both the terms of Brexit and the implications and opportunities of independence must be clear in advance of the referendum. It is also worth noting that the clear precedent of the 2012 Edinburgh Agreement should make reaching agreement on this occasion a relatively straightforward process - addressing any concern you may have that discussions would be time-consuming for your government when they are also preparing for EU negotiations. In light of the above, there appears to be no rational reason for you to stand in the way of the will of the Scottish Parliament and I hope you will not do so. However, in anticipation of your refusal to enter into discussions at this stage, it is important for me to be clear about my position. It is my firm view that the mandate of the Scottish Parliament must be respected and progressed. The question is not if, but how. I hope that will be by constructive discussion between our governments. However, if that is not yet possible, I will set out to the Scottish Parliament the steps I intend to take to ensure that progress is made towards a referendum. Again, I wish you well for all that lies ahead and stand ready to discuss both a section 30 order and the Scottish government's role in securing the best outcome for all parts of the UK. I am copying this letter to the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament and to Bruce Crawford, convener of the Parliament's Finance and Constitution Committee. Nicola Sturgeon 'No rational reason' to block indyref2

Problem: A hardback edition of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II will be released on 31 July, the day after the play has debuted on stage. It sees Harry as a father and an overworked Ministry of Magic employee. The play is from an original new story by JK Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will tell the "untold part" of the boy wizard's story, including the story of the lives of his murdered parents, Rowling has said. It will pick up the story 19 years after Harry was last seen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, waving his two eldest children off to Hogwarts. The script's ebook will be published simultaneously with the print editions. David Shelley, chief executive of the publishers Little, Brown Book Group said: "We are so thrilled to be publishing the script of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. "JK Rowling and her team have received a huge number of appeals from fans who can't be in London to see the play and who would like to read the play in book format - and so we are absolutely delighted to be able to make it available for them." The special rehearsal edition of the script book will comprise the version of the play early in the production's preview period and is therefore subject to being changed before the official opening. Previews of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child begin in May at London's Palace Theatre, with both plays set to open on 30 July. The hardback and ebook will go on sale at 0001 on 31 July. Jamie Parker, currently starring in the West End show Guys and Dolls, will star as an adult Harry in the production. Noma Dumezweni, known for her 2006 Olivier Award-winning role in A Raisin in the Sun and for stepping in at the last minute to replace Kim Cattrall in Linda at the Royal Court, will play Hermione Granger. London Road star Paul Thornley will play Ron Weasley. The play was first announced in December 2013, after the author said she had "received countless approaches" over the years "about turning Harry Potter into a theatrical production". What was that article about? A: An eighth Harry Potter book is to be released this summer - containing the script for a new stage play telling the wizard's story. John McDonnell said his proposals would make the freeze "irrelevant", but did not say whether he would scrap it. Later though, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News the freeze was "unfair" and "would be ended". The party's manifesto includes pledges costing £48.6bn, to be funded from extra tax revenue. Labour says all its pledges are costed, with fundraising measures including a rise in income tax for higher earners, a corporation tax rise, a crackdown on tax avoidance and an "excessive pay levy" on salaries above £330,000. But the Conservatives have said Labour would have to raise taxes dramatically for working families in order to fund their spending commitments. According to their manifesto, the Conservatives have "no plans for further radical welfare reform" and would continue the roll-out of Universal Credit - a single monthly payment to replace many other benefits. The Liberal Democrats have said they would end the benefits freeze and reverse welfare cuts. The freeze on working-age benefits, which came into force in 2016, sees most payments capped at their current rate until 2019. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mr McDonnell said the proposals the party was putting forward "would ensure that in effect we would be addressing this issue of how we reverse the benefit freeze itself". "I want to do it as part of an overall reform package and not just pick off one by one." He said: "We're putting £30bn in over the lifetime of a Parliament into welfare, we're reforming the whole process... and the implication of that will be... the impact of these proposals will make the freeze irrelevant because we'll reform the whole process." Labour's manifesto includes plans to scrap the so-called bedroom tax, restore housing benefit for those under 21 and increase Personal Independence Payments for the disabled. When pushed about what level of economic growth would be needed for Labour to deliver its plans, Mr McDonnell insisted the party's proposals were "completely cost neutral... because for everything you put in, you get the money back". Mr McDonnell rejected Resolution Foundation findings that 78% of Conservative cuts would not be reversed under Labour proposals. He said his strength of feeling on this issue was such that he would deliver the reforms in the first Budget. Mr Corbyn told Sky News: "Yes, the freeze would be ended because it's very, very unfair on those people in receipt of those benefits." He said £2bn had been set aside "as a start" and "obviously we would review it as time goes on". Asked about immigration, Mr Corbyn said a Labour government would deliver a "fair" system, but would not be drawn on whether he personally wanted to see numbers rise or fall. He said net migration would "probably be lower" in the future, but added: "I want us to have a society that works and I cannot get into a numbers game because I don't think it works." Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green described Labour's economic policies as "nonsensical". Mr Green told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "The way Labour approaches any problem is to say: There is a magic money tree... we don't need to reform anything, we don't need to change anything, we just need to take money off businesses and people, and that solves the problem." Sum: Labour would "in effect" end the freeze on benefits through a package of reforms in its first Budget in government, the shadow chancellor says. Text: The Ocean Medallion can be worn as a necklace, clip or keychain - or carried in a passenger's pocket. It will connect to onboard facilities, tracking meal orders or automatically unlocking guests' cabins as they approach the door, for example. One analyst said it would have to be easy to use to entice holidaymakers. Details of the project are being outlined at two events at the CES tech show in Las Vegas. The Ocean Medallion will connect with onboard systems on the first specially modified cruise ship later this year via internet of things technology. Other ships in the Princess Cruises fleet will then adopt the system. It was a "great example of novel uses for smart devices", said Martin Garner, a tech analyst at CCS Insight. "But, because people go on cruises as a relaxing holiday, the system will have to work flawlessly and be super-easy to use," he told the BBC. He also noted that, just like upgrading a big hotel, the venture would likely be a costly one - which adds "a degree of risk" for Carnival. The first ship to feature the system is the Regal Princess. 75 miles (121km) of cables, more than 7,000 sensors and 4,000 digital screens were installed in 10 days in Italy. "It's going to almost be invisible to guests," the company said. "They're not going to realise how much [technology] is in here." Holiday resorts and cruise ship brands, including Carnival's rival Royal Caribbean Cruises, increasingly offer visitors access to various services via smart bands or wearable gadgets. The undertaking could perhaps foreshadow what life in a future smart city or internet of things-powered shopping complex might be like. But Mr Garner noted not everyone had the capabilities of a cruise line. "City officials don't typically have the budget to do grand-vision schemes like the Carnival re-fit," he said. "In fact, most cities are chronically short of budget." Connection technologies built in to the Ocean Medallion include Bluetooth and near field communications (NFC), according to the travel firm. This will allow passengers to: The service will be offered first to passengers on the Regal Princess ship from November. It will then be expanded to the Royal Princess and Caribbean Princess ships in 2018. Follow all our CES coverage at bbc.co.uk/ces2017 summary:

Summarize: Their model for Lassa fever, which is spread by rats, predicts that there will be twice as many human cases of the disease in Africa by 2070. The method can be applied to other disease threats such as Ebola and Zika, they say. Like the Ebola virus, the Lassa virus causes haemorrhagic fever and can be fatal. Lassa fever virus currently affects between 100,000 and one million people a year in western sub-Saharan Africa. A rat found in parts of the continent can pass the virus to people. Scientists led by Prof Kate Jones of the Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research at UCL looked at about 400 known outbreaks of Lassa fever between 1967 and 2012. Lassa virus is carried by the Mastomys rat, which is found in parts of Africa. The virus is passed to people through direct contact with infected rats by catching and preparing them for food, or by food or household items contaminated with rat droppings or urine. The virus can also be transmitted through contact with body fluids of an infected person. Around 80% of people with Lassa virus have no symptoms or have symptoms that mimic other illnesses, such as malaria. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, abdominal pains, sore throat and facial swelling. Source: World Health Organization They developed a model to calculate how often people are likely to come into contact with disease-carrying animals and the risk of the virus spilling over. It shows more areas of West Africa are at risk from Lassa fever spill-over events than previously thought. "Our model suggests that in future, it is likely to become a greater burden on local communities spreading to more areas with approximately twice as many spill-over events predicted by 2070," Dr Jones and colleagues from the University of Cambridge and the Zoological Society London report in the journal, Methods in Ecology and Evolution. The method takes into account environmental change and the way human populations are expected to grow. The projected increase in cases is largely due to climate change, with the rat that passes it to people (M. natalensis) thriving in hot and wet conditions, they say. Meanwhile, growth in human populations in certain areas will mean more people coming into contact with the rodent. "This model is a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people," explained Prof Jones. "We hope it can be used to help communities prepare and respond to disease outbreaks, as well as to make decisions about environmental change factors that may be within their control." More than 60% of emerging infectious diseases originate in animals. As well as well-known threats such as Ebola and Zika, other diseases including Lassa fever already affect thousands of people and are expected to spread as the world warms. "Our new approach successfully predicts outbreaks of individual diseases by pairing the changes in the host's distribution as the environment changes with the mechanics of how that disease spreads from animals to people, which hasn't been done before, " said co-researcher Dr David Redding of UCL. The researchers say the model can be refined to include diseases such as Ebola and Zika. Prof Jonathan Ball of the University of Nottingham, who was not involved in the research, said if the models hold true, then future climate change and population growth will significantly increase the number of Lassa fever outbreaks - and this is likely to be true for other infectious diseases. "The threat of emerging and neglected diseases will not go away and we need to invest in research and global healthcare systems to ensure that we are ready to deal with these threats and their consequences," he said.

Harley Pascoe, from Fraddon, Cornwall, died in October aged 12 days and Mia-Leigh Snelson from nearby St Austell, died in July aged 11 days. It follows an announcement that there will be an inquiry into several deaths of children over recent years. The hospital has welcomed the review and hopes it will restore confidence. A spokesman maintained the unit was safe but added it will be co-operating with the independent review by Sir Ian Kennedy who led the Bristol Royal Infirmary investigation. It has been prompted following concerns by parents about the care given to their children. Harley's parents, Danielle Gatehouse and Lee Pascoe, said his operation was cancelled five times because there was no intensive care bed available at the hospital. By the time he was given surgery his condition had deteriorated. "No-one ever told us it was urgent when we were at the hospital," Ms Gatehouse said. "He had an echo a day before they did his operation and they noticed a duct in his heart was closing up. "They had to double the dose of his drugs to keep it open and that's when he became an emergency and was operated on the next day." The hospital said Harley was not considered urgent at the time which was why children with more serious conditions had to be seen first. Stephen Snelson and his partner Vicky said they had not heard anything from the hospital about the Child Death Review for several months. "I don't know what I should be doing because no-one has explained to me what to do," Ms Snelson said. "They promised they'd be here for us forever... we'll always be at the end of the phone... I've had nothing," she added. Bristol Children's Hospital said it had written to the family but had not heard back yet This article was about:

The 26-year-old ex-Rochdale, Watford and Brighton player moves to Blues with a view to a more permanent deal, once he has proved his fitness. Buckley is a replacement for Demarai Gray, who joined Premier League side Leicester City for £3.75m last week. But Blues look like having to face the rest of the season without injury-plagued full-back Neil Eardley. Eardley, 27, who is out of contract at the end of the season, may have to undergo surgery on a cruciate knee ligament injury, less than a month after coming back from a shoulder injury. "He's had a scan and it looks like a cruciate injury," Birmingham boss Gary Rowett told BBC WM. "I don't know the exact prognosis but I would hazard a guess it would be the season and a little bit more. He's very low. He's been incredibly unlucky with injuries and our hearts go out to him." Buckley began his career at Rochdale before moving to Watford in January 2010. He signed for Brighton for £1m in June 2011 before following his old Seagulls boss Gus Poyet to Sunderland for £2.5m in August 2014. But he has not figured this season and spent a month out on loan at Leeds in October, making his debut in a 2-0 home defeat by Blues. "Things perhaps haven't quite gone for Will Buckley in the last year at Sunderland," said Rowett. "But I look at what the potential is in any signing. "When he played at Brighton, he was perfect for a counterattacking system, He's very athletic, good pace, two footed, travels well with the ball and has that little bit of Premier League quality in the final third. "If we can get that out of him and have him enjoying his football again, I think we'll have a really top signing on our hands." He is Blues' second signing of the January transfer window following the extension of Huddersfield Town striker James Vaughan's loan until the end of the season. Buckley is expected to figure in Saturday's trip to Derby County for a Blues side who are back up to eighth in the Championship, having now picked up seven points out of nine since losing 3-0 at Sheffield Wednesday on Boxing Day. "I'm pleased with how we've responded," said Rowett. "This division is all about navigating little blips. "It is a challenge. You just stay level headed, focused and don't panic." What is a summary of this text?

Birmingham City have signed Sunderland winger Will Buckley on an initial month's loan.

Article:Mr Trump has described the agreement - implemented a year ago - as "the worst deal ever" and threatened to scrap it. But Hassan Rouhani said the comments were just "slogans" and that there was no chance of any renegotiation. Under the deal, Iran agreed to curb its sensitive nuclear activities in return for the lifting of economic sanctions. Outgoing US President Barack Obama says the deal will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran says it has the right to nuclear energy - and stresses that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only. During the US presidential election campaign last March, Mr Trump told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that his "number-one priority" would be "to dismantle the disastrous deal". He said his biggest concern was not that Iran would violate the agreement, but that it could "keep the terms and get to the bomb by simply running out the clock". At a news conference marking the first anniversary of the lifting of sanctions on Tuesday, Iran's president was asked about Mr Trump's comments. "The respected president-elect has so far expressed the opinion that he is unhappy about it [the deal], or that it is not a good deal, or the worst deal ever," he answered. "These are all slogans and I deem it unlikely that he would act on it once he enters the White House. Since this is not a bilateral agreement, it is not up to him to say whether he likes it or dislikes it." Mr Rouhani went on to stress that "any renegotiation" was "out of the question". On Monday, Mr Obama issued a statement saying the deal had "achieved significant, concrete results in making the United States and the world a safer place" by rolling back Iran's nuclear programme and "verifiably" preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon. He noted that Iran had reduced its uranium stockpile by 98% and removed two thirds of its centrifuges, which are needed to separate out the fissile isotope U-235 from uranium hexafluoride gas. Low-enriched uranium, which has a 3%-4% concentration of U-235, can be used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants. But it can also be enriched to the 90% needed to produce nuclear weapons. Iran was also not enriching any uranium at the underground Fordo facility, nor using advanced centrifuges to enrich, according to Mr Obama. In an apparent warning to Mr Trump, he said: "The Iran deal must be measured against the alternatives. A diplomatic resolution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is far preferable to an unconstrained Iranian nuclear programme or another war in the Middle East." Summarize the main points of that article.

Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, has dismissed US President-elect Donald Trump's criticism of the nuclear deal that it signed with world powers.

Write an article based on this summary: Saudi Arabia's main phone company, STC, plans to buy a 10% stake in cab-hailing firm Careem. +++++++ A: Based in Dubai, Careem is a rival to Uber and has developed a strong presence in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan. Such cab-booking firms are particularly popular with women in Saudi Arabia, who are not allowed to drive. In a statement to the Saudi Stock Exchange, STC said the stake would cost it $100m (£80m). "This move is in line with the company strategy to invest in the innovative digital world, which helps the company to provide additional valuable and innovative products," STC said in a statement. Careem was founded in 2012 by two former management consultants at McKinsey, Magnus Olsson and Mudassir Sheikha. STC is the biggest provider of phone services in the Middle East and North Africa. However, its investment in Careem is dwarfed by the $3.5bn that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund invested in Uber in June. That money will be partly used to expand Uber's presence in the Middle East. Write an article based on this summary: A recruit who died at Deepcut had split with one boyfriend and was seeing another soldier in a love triangle at the Surrey base, an inquest has heard. +++++++ A: Her ex-boyfriend Simeon Carr-Minns, known then as Jim, asked Pte Cheryl James if she was seeing someone else two days before she died. She was found dead with a bullet wound to the head on 27 November 1995. The 18-year-old from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years. Mr Carr-Minns had been seeing Pte James for two months before she died but they had broken up, the Woking inquest heard. He said he and Pte James had discussed marriage and made plans for him to meet her parents. But the inquest heard he asked her on 25 November if she was seeing someone else and later that evening he found her with another man, the next day her mood was unusually up and down, and she died on 27 November. Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events Mr Carr-Minns was asked whether their conversation on 25 November in Deepcut's Naafi bar had been heated. He said: "Slightly impassioned, maybe, but not raised voices. It was never that. "But I would have been quite anxious about it. I was never angry, more upset." The inquest heard that later that evening he found her with another man, Pte Paul Wilkinson, on a bed in a disused block, looking "dishevelled". The hearing was told that on the following evening of 26 November, Pte James and Mr Carr-Minns had sex at a party where Pte Wilkinson was also present. Mr Carr-Minns said: "She would be laughing and joking one minute and quite aggressive or sad or angry the next minute. "She seemed to go from one state to the other. I had not seen her like this before." That night he walked her back to her own block and then went back to his own barracks after she asked him to come back and visit her the following day. The next morning Mr Carr-Minns received a phone call and heard Pte James had died. He said the news left him "absolutely devastated" and he "collapsed" in the phone box. He said he told police in 2002 that "at no time" had Pte James indicated she might kill herself. Previously in the inquest, evidence was read from a Surrey Police review which suggested Mr Carr-Minns "should be considered as a suspect". But coroner Brian Barker QC said he was not under any suspicion and the family had indicated in open court they did not think him a suspect. A first inquest into Pte James's death in December 1995 recorded an open verdict. This second inquest was ordered after High Court judges quashed the original findings. The hearing continues. Write an article based on this summary: Land on one of Scotland's highest mountains has been damaged by the illegal use of off-road machines, such as quad bikes. +++++++ A:

Scottish Natural Heritage and Police Scotland said Ben Wyvis near Garve, north of Dingwall, was a protected site of special scientific interest. Ben Wyvis, from the Gaelic "Beinn-Uais", meaning "awesome mountain", has important plant and animal habitats. Its birds include dotterel, a globally threatened migratory species. SNH and police said the illegal use of off-road vehicles has also been found at another protected Highlands site, Loch Fleet near Golspie. While it has been an ongoing issue, SNH and police said there was "a spike" last month in damage caused by quad bikes, motorbikes and motorised karts to Ben Wyvis, a Munro of 1,046m (3,431ft) metres, and sand dunes at Loch Fleet. Police Scotland wildlife crime officer Dan Sutherland said: "The use of off-road vehicles on protected sites such as Loch Fleet and Ben Wyvis is not only damaging to habitats and wildlife, but may also pose a hazard to members of the public who are responsibly accessing these sites for recreation. "The use of motorised vehicles on any land without permission is an offence, and other offences may be committed against wildlife legislation." Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve manager Adam Rose said there had been "a spate of damage" caused by quad bikes, motorbikes and off-road karts in recent months. He said: "Sand dune habitats are sensitive to damage from vehicle use and damaged areas can take a long time to recover, particularly where the sand and soil are exposed to the elements. "Large ruts, doughnuts and long skid-marks, as we have had recently Loch Fleet, are particularly damaging as they take longer to restore. "Of course, this takes even longer where there has been repeated damage to one area. As well as the physical damage to the site, internationally important populations of birds that overwinter at Loch Fleet may be disturbed."

Security blogger Brian Krebs has spent months investigating the attack which knocked his blog offline. He claims that the origins of the Mirai botnet can be traced back to rivalries in the Minecraft community. His claims are backed up by a security expert who provided net security for Minecraft servers. Robert Coelho, vice president of security firm ProxyPipe, told the BBC that his suspicions about who was behind the Mirai code have been passed to the FBI, which is "actively investigating" the claims. The botnet Mirai was made up of more than 500,000 web-connected devices such as webcams and routers. The attacks it launched - so-called denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that hit web pages with so much data that they fall over - were the biggest the net had ever experienced. Victims that were knocked offline included Twitter, Spotify and Reddit. Shortly after the attacks, the individual claiming responsibility - using the codename Anna Senpai - released the source code online, paving the way for copycat attacks. A modified form of the malware was later used to attack UK internet service providers TalkTalk and the Post Office. Since being hit by the Mirai botnet in September 2016, Mr Krebs has devoted "hundreds of hours" into uncovering who was behind it. "If you've ever wondered why it seems that so few internet criminals are brought to justice, I can tell you that the sheer amount of persistence and investigative resources required to piece together who's done what to whom (and why) in the online era is tremendous," he wrote. His research led him directly to the community around Minecraft, a computer game now owned by Microsoft, in which users build things from cubic blocks. It has a huge following, especially among children, and it is estimated that at any one time a million people are playing it. According to Mr Krebs, a large successful Minecraft web server with more than 1,000 players logging on each day can earn up to $50,000 (£40,600) per month, mainly from players renting space to build their Minecraft worlds. "The first clues to Anna Senpai's identity didn't become clear until I understood that Mirai was just the latest incarnation of an IoT [internet of things] botnet family that has been in development and relatively broad use for nearly three years," he writes. The code for these earlier versions was often used to knock over web servers used to host Minecraft, he claims. ProxyPipe - owned by Mr Coelho - had plenty of Minecraft servers as clients and in mid-2015 was hit by a massive attack, launched from a botnet made up of IoT devices such as web cameras. Mr Coelho told the BBC that he had his suspicions about who was behind the attack: "Minecraft is a tight knit community. We know who is talking to who." He alleged that the attack came from a competing security firm, which also offered DDoS protection to Minecraft clients. He claimed that the founder of the security firm had previously run a Minecraft web server and was one of his clients. He also claims that the Mirai author - Anna Senpai - contacted him via Skype at the end of September, partly to explain that the attack on his firm was "not personal" but also to brag that he had been paid by the owners of a large Minecraft server to launch an attack on a rival server. Sum: Malware that launched the net's largest ever cyber-attack last year had links to Minecraft servers, according to those investigating it. The move comes amid increased security concerns, particularly following the death of the Labour MP Jo Cox. Until now, MPs who wanted to install security had to apply through the parliamentary expenses watchdog Ipsa. But the BBC's Norman Smith said MPs had decided to strip the watchdog of its authority over security decisions amid concerns over delays to MPs' requests. Following a decision by the Estimates Committee of MPs on Tuesday, all MPs will automatically be offered extra security - such as panic buttons, extra lighting, additional locks and emergency fobs - and will not have to apply to have them installed. Previously, MPs wanting enhanced security arrangements had to have to a risk assessment carried out by the police and written estimates before any work could be carried out. Jo Cox died last month after being attacked in her West Yorkshire constituency, the first MP to be killed for more than 25 years. The safety of MPs outside the Houses of Parliament is the responsibility of local police forces but Ipsa has responsibility for approving funding for security procedures and dealing with requests from individual MPs. The watchdog's chairman wrote to MPs in the aftermath of Ms Cox's death to say the way in which it handled applications would be "reviewed and accelerated" in response to concerns about its role. In January, the security measures available to MPs at their constituency offices and homes were "standardised" - to try to speed up the process and ensure all 650 members of the Commons receive a consistent service. They were divided into two packages: routine and enhanced claims. The former is based on MPs filling in self-assessment forms although MPs must obtain two separate quotes from locksmiths. Those seeking additional protection in response to a specific threat must consult local police commanders who are expected to make recommendations based on a security and intelligence review. In 2014-15, £77,000 was spent on additional security measures designed to enable MPs to fulfil their duties following police recommendations. The Estimates Committee, responsible for financial and logistical support to MPs that has not been outsourced to Ipsa, is chaired by Commons Speaker John Bercow and its members include the Leader of the House of Commons and representatives from the main parties. A spokesperson for the House of Commons Commission, which supervises the overall running of the Houses of Parliament, said it did not publicly discuss the details of security arrangements and "in the event that arrangements to MPs security are revised further, this information will be communicated privately to them". An Ipsa spokesperson said: "We have been working in partnership with the police and the House of Commons since last year to improve the security support available to MPs and their staff. We have recently streamlined the way we provide this support, responding to the security needs of MPs as defined by the police, while continuing to provide assurance about the public money spent." Sum:

All MPs are to be automatically offered additional security in their constituency offices and homes.

Article:Three key judicial reforms have been passed by Poland's parliament, prompting days of demonstrations across the country. Before they become law, they require approval by the president. The changes have also set Poland's right-wing government on a collision course with the European Union. The European Commission had threatened to impose sanctions this week if the reforms were not scrapped. European Council President Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, had warned of a "black scenario that could ultimately lead to the marginalisation of Poland in Europe". "As president I don't feel this law would strengthen a sense of justice," Mr Duda said in a statement broadcast on national television. "These laws must be amended." He said he was vetoing two of the new laws but approving a third, which gives the justice minister the right to name the heads of Poland's lower courts. The Law and Justice (PiS) government has strongly rejected claims that the reforms are a move towards authoritarian rule and has expressed disappointment at Mr Duda's decision to wield a veto. Mr Duda had already intervened last week in an attempt to find a compromise and his latest step came as a surprise. He is himself a former member of the populist ruling party and he had already rejected a meeting on the crisis with Donald Tusk. He said he had discussed the reforms at the weekend with legal experts as well as judges. The most influential voice, he said, was that of Zofia Romaszewska, a veteran dissident from the communist era who told Mr Duda she did not want to go back to the days when "the general prosecutor could do virtually anything". She was jailed during the years of martial law in the early 1980s but is now one of the president's advisers. Ms Romaszewska told Polish media it was completely out of the question for the attorney general to take charge of the Supreme Court. Opposition MPs also praised the role of protesters in influencing the decision. Demonstrations have taken place in dozens of Polish cities, from Poznan and Lublin to Krakow, Gdansk and Warsaw, and there have been calls for the protests to continue. Mr Duda warned that no change should lead to a separation of the state from society. Poland's judicial system is widely seen as slow and reforms are seen as necessary. "I'm absolutely a supporter of this reform, but a wise reform," said President Duda. The three reforms give the justice minister and MPs broad powers and have prompted alarm from the US, as well as the EU. The president's initial compromise plan last week watered down the government's bid to push through its nominees for the National Judiciary Council, by requiring the support of another political party. In his statement, the president said he regretted that a draft law on reforming the Supreme Court had not been handed to him before a vote in the lower house of parliament, the Sejm. The president also took issue with the strengthened role of the justice minister, who also acts as attorney general in Poland. In theory, the Polish parliament could now challenge the president's veto. Law and Justice has a simple majority in the Sejm but needs a three-fifths majority if it decides to reject Mr Duda's decision. It could theoretically achieve that with the support of a smaller party, Kukiz'15, but that is not seen as certain. A more likely step would be to spend the next weeks redrafting the two bills that the president has turned down and seek his approval. The protest movement has celebrated its success so far but is now pushing for the president to veto the third reform as well. Much now depends on the man seen as the real power behind the government, Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Summarize the main points of that article.

Polish President Andrzej Duda has announced he is vetoing a controversial law to replace Supreme Court judges with government nominees.

Write an article based on this summary: Once upon a time, Gudmundur Benediktsson played football for his country.

But the moment that shot him to global fame was not on the field - it was in the commentary box. Gummi Ben - as he is known - roared out a sustained, high-pitched torrent of joy when his national side scored a last-minute goal against Austria. The goal saw Iceland through to the last 16 of Euro 2016 and knocked the Austrians out. And Gummi Ben's response was so loud, so boisterous, so exuberant, that his commentary has ricocheted around the world. BBC Sport - Euro 2016 Gummi Ben, who became a commentator after hanging up his boots in 2009, has been fending calls off all day. "It's been quite strange and actually hectic, because the phone hasn't stopped ringing," he told the BBC. "But I'm really enjoying it! It's part of the job." Gummi Ben admits he doesn't have a clue what he said when Arnor Yngvi Traustason scored. And even when his own commentary was played back to him on BBC radio, he still couldn't be quite sure. But, thanks to Icelandic website The Reykjavik Grapevine, we have a translation. Here is part of it: "It's three against two. Emmi (Theodor Elmar Bjarnason)! Go into the box! Go into the box! EMMI!" "Ahhh… YES!…(Emmi passes to Arnor Ingvi Traustason)... Y-E-E-E-S! (ball hits back of the net) Yes, Yes, YES, YES, Y-E-E-E-S! "We are winning this! We are through to the final 16! We are through to the final 16! We are beating Austria! "The voice has gone! But that doesn´t matter! We have qualified! "Arnor Yngvi Traustason scores! Iceland two, Austria one! What? The final whistle has been blown here, and never, ever have I felt so good!" As a nation of 332,529 people (roughly the population of a small UK city), Iceland does not traditionally pack a massive punch on the stage of world football. In fact it has no professional clubs. But internationally they are on the rise. Here is how the 21st Century has stacked up for them so far. To qualify for the Euros, they beat Turkey, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan and Latvia. But never have they qualified for an international tournament. So you can see why Gummi Ben got so excited. And his unbridled enthusiasm echoed across social media. Next up, Iceland face England in Nice on Monday. And Gummi Ben will be waiting.

Summarize: Beulah Print and Design, based in Drogheda, County Louth, confirmed it had declined an order from Jonathon Brennan, one of their former customers. The company said its staff were "Bible-believing Christians" who did not support same-sex marriage. Mr Brennan told the Irish Independent he was "infuriated and shocked". The 29-year-old businessman, who owns a salon in Drogheda, is due to enter a civil partnership with his boyfriend of eight years, John Kierans, in August. He told the newspaper he had been a customer of the printing company for four years, before it refused to accept his order. Mr Brennan said the firm's co-owner, Noel Tuite, initially agreed to print the invitations, but visited Mr Brennan's salon on Wednesday to explain the order would be declined. Another co-founder of the firm, Mike O'Leary, told the BBC that although he accepted that there are people who practise homosexuality, he did not hold a "morally neutral" attitude towards it. Mr O'Leary said that as a Christian he did not agree with a gay "agenda or lifestyle", and objected to same-sex marriage. He added he was aware in passing of a similar case in Northern Ireland last year, when a Christian-owned bakery firm refused to bake a cake with a logo supporting gay marriage. He said he agreed with Ashers Baking Company's decision to decline the cake order. It was not the first time Beulah Print and Design has refused orders on the grounds of their religious beliefs. Mr O'Leary said that 10 years ago, they declined a similar request to print invitations for a gay ceremony abroad. He added they have also refused request to print materials that promote binge drinking, Halloween, "borderline pornography" and what he described as "the dark arts". Mr O'Leary co-founded the firm 12 years ago, after meeting Mr Tuite through Christian fellowship meetings in Drogheda. Members of three families are now employed at the printing company. In a statement, the firm said: "We, at Beulah Print, are Bible-believing Christians who are committed to standing by our conscience and God's Word. "We have been in business for 12 years during which time we have held to our convictions and have at times declined a variety of work which we felt was clearly contrary to our beliefs. "We have never hidden our faith from our customers and represent the gospel at every opportunity. We are not against homosexuals however, we do not support same sex marriage, which printing wedding invitations would do. "We believe the love of God is extended to all people and that He has called us all to walk in the light of His word, for He is the way, the truth and the life." The Republic of Ireland is due to hold a referendum on same-sex marriage in May. In Northern Ireland, the so-called gay cake row has led to a bid by the Democratic Unionist Party to build a conscience clause into equality law. Summary:

An Irish printing firm has refused a gay man's request to print invitations for his civil partnership ceremony, because of its Christian beliefs.

Write an article based on this "The Alliance Party Leader Naomi Long has admitted that she called two councillors who recently left the party "balloons"."

Geraldine Rice and Vasundhara Kamble are now supporting the SDLP having resigned as Alliance councillors. Speaking after her party's election manifesto launch, Naomi Long said she used the word "balloons" on a private social media site. "I think most people will be surprised all I said was balloons," she said. Mrs Long said the two former councillors had set out to "damage" her party. She also responded to a Belfast Telegraph story which reported that the Alliance Party had encouraged members to ring the BBC Talkback programme's election phone-in with "softball " questions for her. The newspaper said the party's head of communications, Scott Jamison, had used a social media site to say that the party could "hijack " the BBC Radio Ulster phone-in and suggested party members should "feel free to use a fake name and location if you're so inclined". Ms Long said the story was "a storm in a teacup", adding that the posts were made in a "tongue-in-cheek manner". In response to the Belfast Telegraph story a BBC spokesperson said its radio phone-in programmes regularly attracted a high volume of callers who wanted to share their views live on air. "Our production teams do their best to assess each caller to ensure they contribute to a fair and balanced discussion which our presenters chair live," said the spokesperson. The Alliance Party's 85-page manifesto - entitled How to change Northern Ireland for Good - includes plans for political reform, the economy, education and mitigating the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland. It calls for an end to the abuse of Petitions of Concern at Stormont. The cross-community voting system triggered by Petitions of Concern was introduced as a guarantee against majority rule in Northern Ireland. Alliance wants to introduce a single equality bill and says it will continue to campaign for special Brexit status for Northern Ireland. The party also wants to expand integrated education and opposes any repeal of the Human Rights Act. Ms Long said she was suffering from "lurgy ", but joked with journalists that this was different to the "man flu" that DUP leader Arlene Foster said precluded her from taking questions from the press at the DUP's manifesto launch on Monday. In contrast, Naomi Long said she would happily answer reporters' queries. She said next week's election was about "choosing people fit to govern". The party had eight MLAS in the last Assembly and Ms Long said her target was to hold on to those seats next week. She said after the election there will be negotiations and said the last thing Northern Ireland needed was "another patch-up arrangement".

HP's Fortify security division reviewed 10 pieces of internet-connected kit. It said the majority did not require a password of sufficient complexity and length and that most did not encrypt the data they transmitted. One independent security expert said the findings were "shocking". HP has not named the manufacturers involved, but has identified the 10 types of net-connected products studied: One of the report author's biggest concerns was that eight of the devices surveyed did not require consumers to use hard-to-hack log-ins. It said that most allowed passwords as simple as "1234" or "123456", which could then be used to access both the app and a website providing access to the owner's records. In addition, the team said, the interfaces used by six of the devices' websites had other security flaws that could cause them to be compromised. For example, it said, in some cases hackers could exploit the password reset facility to determine which accounts were valid, allowing them to focus follow-up attacks. A lack of encryption - the digital scrambling of data to make it unreadable without a special key - was also flagged as a worry. HP said that seven of the devices failed to encrypt communications sent to the internet and/or a local network. It added that six of the pieces of kit did not use encryption when downloading software and firmware updates. It said hackers could take advantage of this to intercept, modify and retransmit the code, potentially allowing them to take control of many customers' equipment. The report also suggested that eight of the devices raised broader privacy concerns. "With many devices collecting some form of personal information such as name, address, date of birth, health information and even credit card numbers, those concerns are multiplied when you add in cloud services and mobile applications that work alongside the device," it stated. "And with many devices transmitting this information unencrypted on your home network, users are one network misconfiguration away from exposing this data to the world via wireless networks. "Do these devices really need to collect this personal information to function properly?" HP is not the first firm to highlight problems with smart home devices. Earlier this month, another security firm revealed that wi-fi-controlled light bulbs sold by an Australian firm, Lifx, could reveal their owner's username and passwords if a hacker used a device that masqueraded as being another bulb. In January, another report highlighted the case of a smart fridge that had been hacked and used to send out spam emails. And last year, LG was prompted to issue a fix for its smart TVs after one owner discovered his set was monitoring his watching habits and then transmitting the information over the internet unencrypted. Ian Brown, professor of information security and privacy at the University of Oxford, said HP's report should act as a wake-up call. "We're used to hearing about vulnerabilities in computing systems, but those are often legacy products designed before today's greater focus on security," he told the BBC. "It's slightly shocking to see these brand new internet-of-things devices being created with so many security holes. "I hope device manufactures realise they have to do much better if they want to avoid damaging consumer trust in the whole sector before it even takes off." Sum: A study of some of the most popular app-controlled devices for the home suggests the majority of the products tested were vulnerable to hackers. Article: Powys council said it had recovered all of the £4m it had deposited. It was one of eight councils, three universities and three former police authorities in Wales that had almost £75m tied up. The remaining councils have recovered on average 97% of their money, with further reimbursements expected. A BBC Wales request asked the seven other councils to state their recovery status. The former police authorities have also had success in recovering their money. Three Welsh universities, Glyndwr University in Wrexham, the University of Wales and Aberystwyth University, also had more than £8m invested, but it is unclear how much they have recovered to date as not all institutions responded to the BBC's request. Placing money in Iceland seemed an attractive proposition in 2008, when at one point interest rates were as high as 18%. But the following global financial crisis saw Iceland's three major banks go under, taking with them nearly £1bn of investments from more than 100 authorities across the UK. Other public sector bodies also had money in the banks, along with charities and individuals. ++++++++++ Summarize:

Welsh councils have recovered the majority of money they invested in Icelandic banks prior to their collapse in 2008.

Summarize this article: The event moved to Kinsgton Maurward House near Dorchester, having outgrown the village of Cattistock where it has been held since its inception in 2008. Despite the rainy conditions, more than 4,000 people attended with participants hurling the locally-made buns in pursuit of a new record. Organiser Katharine Wright described it as "quirky and unique". It was set up to raise money for village causes and now incorporates a food festival. More than 4,000 of the buns were brought in for the throwing, along with other games including knob archery, knob and spoon racing and pin the knob on the Cerne giant. During the throwing competition, the savoury biscuits must be thrown underarm and one of the competitor's feet must remain on the ground. Pete Asher threw his bun the furthest in the rainy conditions at 22.70m (74.4ft) Samuel Chinchen won the children's event, with a throw of 16.04m (52.6ft); while Catrin Vaughn topped the women's contest with a 18.65m (61.2ft) throw. The record remains held by Dave Phillips with an astounding 29.4m (96ft) throw in 2012. Ms Wright said: "People come from far and wide. It's grown every year - this is our 10th year so no better time to move to a bigger venue."

Dorset's annual knob-throwing festival has taken place at a new venue.

Article:In a statement, the ministry said it was not appropriate to allow in entertainers who have engaged in "bad behaviour." "Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer," it added. The statement was issued in response to a question recently submitted by a user of the bureau's website. "We hope that as Justin Bieber matures, he can continue to improve his own words and actions, and truly become a singer beloved by the public," the statement said. By John Sudworth, BBC Beijing correspondent To its list of hostile foreign forces - one assumes ranking somewhere below the Dalai Lama and Taiwanese separatists - China has added the name Justin Bieber. The news came in a statement from the Beijing municipal culture bureau, answering a question from a fan about why, with the singer about to embark on an Asia-wide tour, no venues have been scheduled in mainland China. Justin Bieber is indeed "talented at singing" came the reply, but nonetheless it would not be appropriate to allow him to perform, because of what it called a number of incidents of "bad behaviour." It did not elaborate on exactly which of Mr Bieber's run-ins with the law it was referring to. The pop star, who was allowed to tour China in 2013, joins a long list of musicians who have found themselves similarly blacklisted. Most though, like the British band Oasis and the US group Maroon 5, because of perceived political statements, rather than on the grounds of bad behaviour. This hasn't been the first time the Sorry singer has caused controversy in Asia. In 2014, Bieber caused upset on social media after he posted a photo of himself visiting the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. The shrine honours fallen warriors and pays tribute to convicted war criminals but in China and South Korea, the shrine is seen as a symbol of Japan not being sorry for its empire's past. But despite the singer taking the photo down and apologising, the Chinese were outraged. Their foreign minister's spokesperson said he hoped the singer had left Yasukuni with "a clear understanding of Japan's history of invasion and militarism, and of the source of Japan's militarism". Justin Bieber will be performing in Asia as part of his Purpose World Tour from September, and will be playing in Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia.

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has been banned from performing in China, according to Beijing's Culture Bureau.

Article:Number 10 even jumped the gun with an administrative cock-up late on Saturday night that announced the pact had been signed. On Tuesday, Westminster sources confidently predicted there would be a functioning government with a majority in the Commons within 36 hours - the 'T's had been crossed and the 'I's dotted. There have been suggestions that the DUP has been enjoying its moment of power and attention, so is in no hurry. Suggestions on the other side that Number 10, still reeling from May's political miscalculation, is not functioning properly, so is slow to conclude the deal. And yesterday, sources told me Treasury and Cabinet Office involvement is holding things up but there are no big issues. The government's number-crunchers are nervous about the kinds of promises that are being made. I could here mention the consequences for the Barnett Formula, but I'll spare you that and simply say that the Treasury is cautious about splashing taxpayers' cash. With the disaster at Grenfell Tower, the government's attention and desired timing for announcing the deal has shifted. But as we get towards the end of the week, with suggestions the deal won't be done finally until Monday, it is worth asking what happens if it can't be done? With the other Northern Irish parties visiting Number 10 today, there is clear disquiet about the principle of doing the deal in the first place. The DUP has no interest in crashing Theresa May or the Tories. They are certainly never going to lift a finger in any way that could be helpful to Jeremy Corbyn. They are natural allies of the Tories and as we've reported, they have been informally helping them out for the last few years. So there is very little chance they would vote against the government's main measures - crucially the first big test, the Queen's Speech. There are therefore Tories, including Sir John Major, who believe it would be better to avoid the risk of dealing with them and go it alone in minority government. For Theresa May though, her desire to introduce at least one layer of stability into this rocky situation is strong. Locking at least 10 MPs into supporting her at times of need provides at least a modicum of political protection. Moreover if the talks fail and no deal is done she'll have botched the first political challenge of this fragile post-election period. The DUP will have lost their big shot at more heavy influence. It is in neither side's interest to allow the deal to dive - and with the Queen's Speech just announced for Wednesday, it's a sign of increasing confidence in government the deal is a matter of when not if. Summarize the main points of that article.

For four days we've been told the deal between the Tories and the DUP was pretty much complete.

The driver appeared to lose control of the bus in the central Dikimevi area of the city, ploughing into commuters before eventually coming to a halt further down the street. Ankara governor Mehmet Kiliclar said Thursday's crash also caused several injuries. Emergency workers had to pull the dead and injured from under the bus. Turkish media said the driver's brakes had failed as he approached the bus stop at around 13:00 (10:00 GMT). Eyewitnesses said that after the bus had struck the queue at the bus stop it continued for more than 70m (230ft), hitting people and parked cars. This article was about:

Write an article based on this summary: Several people have been killed in twin suicide car bombings in the central Syrian town of Palmyra, reports say. +++++++ A: The official Sana news agency said the attack took place in a residential area in Palmyra, a town about 220km (140 miles) north-east of Damascus. One activist group said a military intelligence building had been targeted and that at least 19 members of the security forces had died. Meanwhile, heavy fighting has been reported in the east of the capital. The local authorities closed Abbasid Square, a major roundabout, and Fares al-Khouri Street after rebel fighters attacked army roadblocks with rocket-propelled grenades and mortars, activists and witnesses said. "The areas of Jobar, Zamalka, Zablatani and parts of Qaboun and the ring-road have become a battleground," activist Fida Mohammad told the Reuters news agency. Other activists reported that a tank stationed at the al-Kabbas roadblock had been destroyed, that chants of "God is Greatest" had been broadcast from mosque speakers in Jobar, and that tanks stationed on the edge of the central district of Medan had shelled southern areas. Sana said the army was "continuing its operations against the terrorists in Arbeen, Zamalka, Harasta and Sabina, destroying the criminal liars". The violence is some of the worst to hit Damascus in several weeks. The attack in Palmyra, which is known locally as Tadmor, occurred at about 06:00 local time (08:00 GMT), according to local activists. The first bomber reportedly blew up his explosives-laden car next to back a wall of the military intelligence compound in the town. The second assailant is then said to have driven through the hole, detonating the bomb inside his vehicle and destroying parts of the facility. Video footage purportedly showed a cloud of smoke rising from the town. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, said at least 19 members of the security services had been killed and many others injured. Abu al-Hassan, one of the local activists, told Reuters that tanks stationed inside the intelligence compound had fired shells into an adjacent residential district following the attack, killing several civilians. The SOHR said eight civilians had been injured, some severely, by heavy gunfire that followed the bombings. Sana said several people had been killed and injured in the bombings, and that they had caused huge material damage. There were protests in Palmyra at the start of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in 2011, but the army has since tightened control of the town, which is situated near a major oil pipeline junction. Situated at an oasis in the Syrian desert, Palmyra is known across the world as the home of the monumental ruins of a great Roman-era city that was one of the most important cultural cities of the ancient world. It is also the location of an infamous jail where thousands of people were allegedly detained, tortured and executed after an uprising against the late President Hafez al-Assad in the 1980s by the Muslim Brotherhood. In a separate development, the head of the main opposition alliance said the government had to start releasing detainees by this Sunday if it wanted to take up his offer of talks with Vice-President Farouq al-Sharaa. "I need all the women to be released. If any woman stays in prison I consider the regime not responding for our initiative," Moaz al-Khatib, leader of the National Coalition, told BBC Arabic. Last week, Mr Khatib announced he was "ready for direct discussions" as long as two conditions were met - the release of the 160,000 people he said were being held in prisons and intelligence facilities, and the resumption of the issuing of new passports by Syrian embassies. Damascus has not yet responded to the offer, but the pro-government al-Watan newspaper said it was two years too late. Write an article based on this summary: On Friday the US congress voted to place limits on expense accounts allotted to former presidents. +++++++ A: These accounts cover travel, staff and office costs. The new bill caps spending at $200,000 (£154,381) and reduces it further if the former president has made over $400,000 in a year. The bill's authors said most ex-presidents did not need support from taxpayers since they make millions in book deals and speaking fees. "Upon leaving office, most presidents go on to make millions of dollars and are not in need of taxpayer subsidies," said the authors of the bill, Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, in a joint statement. In 2014 US taxpayers covered $3.5m in expenses for the four living US presidents. This included $1.3m for George W. Bush and $950,000 for Bill Clinton both of which were mostly for office costs. Under the new plan, that allowance would be cut by a dollar for every dollar of outside income above $400,000. The changes do not affect costs for security. The bill also sets pensions for presidents at $200,000 a year and $100,000 for spouses if they outlive the former president. The bill cleared a voice vote (where representatives literally say 'yes' or 'no') in the House of Representatives and has been sent to President Obama to sign.

Summarize this article: Mae bwrdd Cynghorau Iechyd Cymuned yn gwrthod dweud pam fod Tony Rucinski wedi ei wahardd. Yn ôl ebyst gafodd eu hanfon cyn iddo gael ei wahardd, ac sydd wedi'u gweld gan y BBC, roedd Dr Rucinski wedi codi pryderon bod cadeirydd y bwrdd, Mutale Merill, wedi cael ei dylanwadu gan weinidog llywodraeth i'w atal rhag gwneud cyfweliadau. Dyw cynnwys yr ebyst ddim yn "ffeithiol gywir", yn ôl Ms Merill, ac mae Dr Rucinski wedi cael "cyfarwyddyd i beidio â gwneud sylw". Mae'r corff yn disgrifio ei hun fel "llais annibynnol cleifion" yng Nghymru, ac roedd ganddyn nhw a'r saith Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned maen nhw'n gyfrifol amdanynt gyllideb o £3.8miliwn yn 2015/16. Cafodd Tony Rucinski ei benodi'n brif weithredwr y corff ym mis Gorffennaf 2015, ac fe ddywedodd ar y pryd ei fod yno i "wneud i bethau ddigwydd". Bedwar mis yn ddiweddarach cafodd Mutale Merrill ei phenodi gan Lywodraeth Cymru fel cadeirydd y bwrdd. Cafodd Dr Rucinski ei wahardd ym mis Chwefror 2016, ac mae sawl ffynhonnell wedi dweud wrth BBC Cymru bod tensiwn yn bodoli rhwng Mr Rucinski a Ms Merrill cyn y gwaharddiad. Mewn ebost i Ms Merrill cyn iddo gael ei wahardd, cododd Mr Rucinski bryderon ei fod wedi ei atal rhag gwneud cyfweliad ar fenter iechyd digidol Llywodraeth Cymru yn Rhagfyr 2015, ac ar adroddiad OECD yn cymharu gwasanaethau iechyd y DU ym mis Chwefror 2016. Yn yr ebyst dywedodd Dr Rucinski bod ei swydd ddisgrifiad yn cynnwys gwneud cyfweliadau â'r wasg, gan ddweud ei fod yn teimlo bod cyfarwyddyd Ms Merrill iddo beidio â gwneud cyfweliadau wedi ei ddylanwadu gan gyfarfod â gweinidog o Lywodraeth Cymru. Yn dilyn ei waharddiad cafodd cyfarfod bwrdd ei gynnal, gyda'r cofnodion yn dweud bod Ms Merrill wedi dweud bod "embargo cyfryngau" ond wedi'i osod ar y prif weithredwr yn achos stori'r OECD. Ychwanegodd y cofnodion bod "rhywfaint o gyd-destun tu ôl i'r penderfyniad na ellir ei rannu" a bod "sgwrs am yr angen ar gyfer protocol cyfryngau wedi ei drafod â'r prif weithredwr". Yn Ebrill 2016 anfonodd Mr Rucinski ebost i Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru yn honni bod Ms Merrill "wedi rhoi gwybod i mi ar lafar bod gweinidog wedi dweud wrthi am beidio â gadael i mi siarad â'r wasg nac ymddangos yn gyhoeddus bellach". Dywedodd hefyd ei fod yn credu bod "llais annibynnol cleifion a'r cyhoedd yng Nghymru yn cael ei dawelu yn ystod cyfnod allweddol yn ein sgwrs genedlaethol am iechyd". Mae Ms Merrill wedi dweud nad yw hi'n derbyn bod yr honiadau yn ebyst Mr Rucinski yn ffeithiol gywir, ond nad yw hi am wneud sylw pellach tra bod y broses fewnol yn parhau. Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru bod gwaharddiad Mr Rucinski yn "fater mewnol i fwrdd CIC", ac fe ddywedodd llefarydd ar ran Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru fod y Swyddfa wedi dod i'r casgliad nad nad oedd y mater yn dod o dan orchwyl yr archwiliwr cyffredinol ond y bydd yn cadw llygad ar bethau.

Write an article based on this summary: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says the display in Saturday's 3-0 friendly win over Tottenham was better than any his side produced last season. +++++++ A: John Stones, Raheem Sterling and Brahim Diaz scored as City dominated last season's Premier League runners-up. "OK, it is pre-season, but we didn't have a performance last season of that quality and intensity," Guardiola said. City beat Real Madrid and lost to Manchester United in their other two International Champions Cup games. Spurs' only win in the competition came against Paris St-Germain, with Saturday's defeat adding to a loss against Roma. "They have invested more money than us and you can see we have a lot of young players on the bench," said Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is yet to add to his squad this summer. "We are a little bit behind but we are working hard to try to sign players that will help us, bring us some new energy and make our team more competitive." Spurs fell behind when Stones nodded in Kevin de Bruyne's deflected free-kick after 10 minutes in Nashville, USA. Gabriel Jesus missed an open goal and Sergio Aguero twice hit the post, before City increased their lead with 17 minutes remaining when Sterling scampered clear to slide a low shot past Michel Vorm. Spanish 17-year-old Diaz added a third in stoppage time after two shots had been blocked. One feature of City's performance was the display of goalkeeper Ederson, who arrived from Benfica for £35m in June. The Brazilian looked uncomfortable on his debut against Manchester United, but excelled against Real and made a series of fine saves against Spurs. Furthermore, his ability to send goal-kicks into the opposition penalty area also caught the eye of former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola. "When I was at Bayern, I played a Champions League game against Benfica and we saw it four or five times," said the Spaniard. "You cannot be offside so it creates a chance and we can have more space in the middle." Guardiola has signed six players already this summer and further changes to his squad are expected before the 31 August transfer deadline. He remains interested in Monaco's 18-year-old France striker Kylian Mbappe and Arsenal and Chile forward Alexis Sanchez, and he also wants another central defender. Players will leave, too. Strikers Wilfried Bony and Kelechi Iheanacho have both been left at home in anticipation of moves, with Guardiola confirming he expects the latter to join Leicester. Midfielder Samir Nasri impressed against Tottenham, with his manager praising the 30-year-old's "unbelievable ability" and "special quality" - but the former France international's future still remains unclear. "He knows the situation, we have a lot of midfielders. That's a decision he has to take with his agent," said Guardiola when asked about the former Arsenal playmaker's chances of staying. Write an article based on this summary: A 70-year-old former child migrant from a Catholic-run home in Londonderry has said he was sexually abused after being shipped to Australia. +++++++ A: Des McDaid, who has waived his right to anonymity, was giving evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry. He had travelled from St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca in Derry to the Clontarf orphanage in Perth, when he was eight. He said there was a lot of brutality at the Clontarf home and a number of brothers sexually abused the boys. He said he was sexually abused by older boys, members of the Christian Brothers religious order and a lay teacher. Mr McDaid, who is originally from County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, told the inquiry: "The big thing I want you to remember is the helplessness." He said he was one of 16 boys shipped to Australia in 1953. Local authority homes: • Lissue Children's Unit, Lisburn • Kincora Boys' Home, Belfast • Bawnmore Children's Home, Newtownabbey Juvenile justice institutions: • St Patrick's Training School, Belfast • Lisnevin Training School, County Down • Rathgael Training School, Bangor Secular voluntary homes: • Barnardo's Sharonmore Project, Newtownabbey • Barnardo's Macedon, Newtownabbey Catholic Church-run homes: • St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca, Londonderry • Nazareth House Children's Home, Derry • Nazareth House Children's Home, Belfast • Nazareth Lodge Children's Home, Belfast • De La Salle Boys' Home, Kircubbin, County Down He said he was raped by an older boy at the Termonbacca boys home and he was abused by others in Australia. Using a video link from Australia, he said: "I had a lot more of it over here, from the Christian Brothers etc." Mr McDaid said he had traced his mother when he was 48 but he said he was worried she would not accept him. Her first words to him were: "Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me". The inquiry, sitting in Banbridge, County Down, heard that he is still in touch with his mother and will be visiting her next month. On Monday, the inquiry heard that 131 children from Northern Ireland, some as young as five, were sent to Australia as child migrants. The experiences of 50 of them will be heard by the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) either by oral or written evidence. It is examining the extent of child abuse in religious and state-run institutions in NI from 1922 to 1995. Write an article based on this summary: India's right-wing Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has confirmed it will change its uniform from khaki shorts to brown trousers. +++++++ A: The decision was taken at the annual meeting of the highest decision making body of the organisation. The distinctive loose khaki shorts have been an integral part of the RSS uniform for 91 years. The RSS is the ideological mentor of India's ruling BJP, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a former member. The organisation's general secretary Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi told reporters that the "major change" in uniform was because the organisation was "not rigid" and wanted to keep in step with modern times. The PTI news agency quoted him as saying that there was no "specific" reason for changing the colour of the uniform from khaki, except that brown was "commonly available and looks good". The uniform change is expected to be fully implemented within the next six months. Established in 1925, the RSS (also known as the Sangh) has been banned three times in post-Independence India. Critics of the organisation say that the RSS (National Volunteers' Organisation) is a sectarian, militant group, which believes in the "supremacy of Hindus" and "preaches hate" against Muslims and Christian minorities. Write an article based on this summary: The RNLI has urged coastal visitors to take care at the seaside as lifeguards return to some north Wales beaches for the bank holiday. +++++++ A:

Lifeguards have completed their training and will start their seasonal service on Rhyl and Prestatyn beaches on Saturday. The RNLI took over lifeguard operations there from Denbighshire council in 2016. It urged people to "respect the water and visit a life-guarded beach". This year lifeguards will be on duty on both beaches every day from Saturday to 3 June, with weekend-only cover thereafter until 1 July, when the peak season begins. That runs until 3 September, with lifeguards on duty between 10:00 and 18:00. The safety advice follows the rescue of a child from Aberavon beach in Neath Port Talbot on Friday. Coastguards were alerted to a boy in difficulty in the water by the car park side of the beach at about 19:00 BST. Port Talbot coastguard rescue team deployed two water rescue technicians, and following an unsuccessful attempt to throw a rescue line, one entered the water and brought the boy to safety. A Port Talbot coastguard spokesman said they have had "multiple fatalities in that exact sport due to the incredibly strong undercurrent". "You only need to be ankle deep for the force of the current to pull you under," they said. RNLI lifeguard supervisor Matthew Jessop said: "It's always an exciting time of year when our lifeguards begin their safety service and our team are trained and ready to go. "Beaches in the area are beginning to get busier as the summer weather arrives, but we urge people to respect the water and visit a life-guarded beach, where there are trained professionals to help keep you and your group safe." He warned people water temperatures "remain cold" and people should be aware of the dangers of "cold-water shock". "Remember to swim between the red and yellow flags, where our lifeguards are on hand to help, and please do come and talk to one of our team if you have any safety queries," Mr Jessop added. RNLI lifeguards will patrol 38 beaches across Wales in 2017. Last year, lifeguards across Wales responded to about 1,270 incidents and rescued or assisted more than 1,400 people.

input: Article: But here's why it is important. It is an opportunity to gauge what Chinese leaders may be thinking about the economy, and whether they're as committed to reform as they have said they are. We are all affected in some shape or form by what goes on in the world's second-largest economy, so keeping abreast of what happens there is important. And even though most of the decisions at what is effectively Asia's largest political pantomime are pre-determined, it's still worth having a think about some of the big economic priorities for China's leaders. Especially in a year when the Communist Party is trying to assure its citizens and the world that it is in control of its economic destiny. So here are four things I'll be watching at the NPC: • 13th five-year plan: Although details of the plan have actually been around since November, delegates will get a chance to vote on it during the NPC. Don't forget this is all pre-scripted so no-one actually votes against the strategy. High up on the agenda will be cutting industrial over-capacity and high debt levels. The reform of state owned enterprises will also be in the spotlight - but more on that later. Basically the five-year plan is China's vision for itself as it tries to manage the transition from an investment-driven economy into one that's more dependent on services and consumption. • Economic growth target: Don't look at the target, says Tony Nash of Complete Intelligence. Look at the direction in which the country's growth target is heading and at what pace. That's far more useful than the actual number. We all know China's growth is slowing down - it clocked the lowest growth figure in 25 years (6.9%) recently. But what will be important to look at is the make-up of GDP - are services becoming an increasingly important part of the economy, and if so what does that mean for job-growth? • Zombie firms: Also known as the "walking dead" these massively debt-laden state-owned firms will be in focus as China looks to clean up the sector. The problem is what to do with the millions of Chinese factory workers who are employed in some of the country's biggest companies. There were reports out earlier this week about 5-6 million jobs would be cut from state-owned enterprises. So expect big support packages, workforce training programmes and a commitment to create new jobs in new sectors. • Stimulus measures: Markets in China have been rallying this week ahead of the NPC in anticipation that the government will announce further stimulus plans. The stock market in particular has been battered by the slowdown in the economy, but the financial sector has also benefited from billions of dollars being poured into the system. Fraser Howie, China watcher and co-author of "Red Capitalism: The Fragile Financial Foundation of China's Extraordinary Rise", says it's clear "there are aspects of the economy that are clearly out of control - the stock market, and the currency. They're trying to get in control of those things by clamping down on activity - but not embracing the free market which they promised." So in a nutshell - a lot of long and possibly boring speeches - but some key points to look out for which will give us an indication of where China's economy is heading over the next five years. Well, that's if it all goes to plan at least… Summarize. output: There are lots of things you may feel like doing or watching this Saturday - and my guess is deliberating over the details at China's National People's Congress (NPC) is unlikely to be high up on the list. Article: Brymbo Heritage Group (BHG) is working with partners including The Prince's Regeneration Trust (PRT) in a bid to breathe life into historic buildings at the former Brymbo steelworks. The sprawling complex employed almost 2,500 people at its peak but it closed in 1990 after almost 200 years. Some of the land has been redeveloped. The group hopes to re-use nine old buildings, creating a heritage centre, learning facilities, business units, shops and apartments as well as open spaces. The site is also home to a 300 million-year-old fossil forest uncovered in 2005. Experts are meeting with the heritage group and members of the public next week to take the plans forward. A public meeting is also due to be held on Thursday 12 February at 18:00 GMT. ++++++++++ Summarize: A heritage group which hopes to regenerate a former iron and steelworks site in Wrexham has enlisted the help of experts. Problem: The judge instructed the panel to seek unanimous verdicts in each case. The burglary, which took place over the Easter weekend last year, saw jewellery and valuables worth an estimated £14m stolen. It was described during the trial at Woolwich Crown Court as the "largest burglary in English legal history". Daniel Jones, 60, of Park Avenue, Enfield, John Collins, 75, of Bletsoe Walk, Islington, Terry Perkins, 67, of Heene Road, Enfield, and Brian Reader, 76, of Dartford Road, Dartford, have previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary. What was that article about? A: Jurors in the trial of four men accused of being involved in the Hatton Garden raid have retired to consider their verdict. Environment body Natural Resources Wales said about 500 fish, including juvenile salmon and adult brown trout, were found in the River Cain near Llansantffraid-ym-Mechan on Friday. Water samples and tests of the affected fish have been taken to establish the cause. Jess Poole, of NRW, said there was no obvious signs of pollution and the water appeared clear. She added it could take several years for fish populations in the river to recover. Officers are already investigating the cause of a separate incident which killed about 100 fish on Anglesey. Sum: Hundreds of fish have died following a pollution incident in a Powys river. Q: Dozens of calls were received about the fire which has damaged the fifth floor and roof space of the University of Bristol building in Colston Street. Four fire engines, a turntable ladder and more than 40 firefighters have been dealing with the blaze, Avon Fire and Rescue said. It was thought no-one was inside and there were no reports of any injuries. Eyewitnesses said it started as a small fire in one corner but very quickly took hold. "We saw tiles falling off as the fire brigade arrived and not long after the wall on the south-west side of the building started to buckle," said an eyewitness called Ellie. "Nearly two hours after it started the whole roof was completely gutted." Richard Meal, who works on the 13th floor of the neighbouring Colston Tower, said: "As the fire took hold, tiles from the roof were crashing down from the roof on to the fire engines below. "The top couple of storeys of the building are gutted and blackened and the fire is still burning over two hours later." A university spokeswoman confirmed the fire at 33 Colston Street was in a residential block. "Students have been evacuated from the building and as far as we are aware no-one has been hurt," she said. "Students resident in the building will be rehoused and supported through the process. We will be working with Avon Fire and Rescue Service to determine the cause of the fire." Avon and Somerset Police have asked motorists to avoid Colston Street and the surrounding roads. A: A major fire has ripped through the roof of a block of student accommodation in Bristol city centre. Question: Article:A man, covering his face and holding what appeared to be a handgun, demanded cash from staff at the One Stop store in Bordon at 18:40 GMT on Saturday.

Problem: The company said the ads would also be less taxing on the handsets' processors, meaning their batteries should last longer. The technique is based on work it has already done to make news publishers' articles load more quickly. But it is still in development, and one expert said Google still had questions to answer. The California-based company's online advertising revenue totalled $67.4bn (£51.2bn) last year. That figure included banners and animations placed via the Google Display Network - which would be affected by this project - as well as other types of ads, such as search result links and YouTube pre-roll clips, which would not. Details of the experiments were published on the company's Accelerated Mobile Pages (Amp) project blog. The A4A (Amp for ads) initiative's technology is already used by the BBC, the Guardian, the Wall Street Journal and many other news sites to make their stories appear up to 10 times faster than those produced in HTML code. The resulting Amp pages currently contain normal adverts, but the ads are made to load after the rest of the content and their animations often do not play smoothly. The new A4A ads restricts the use of Javascript, which is commonly used to track users' behaviour and automate which ads should be placed where. Instead, Amp provides its own activity measurement tools, which are said to be much more efficient. "Amp only animates things that are visible on the screen," Malte Ubl, the project's tech lead, blogged. "Being new and special purpose technology, [it] can pinpoint when animations are needed and thus further reduce CPU [central processing unit] usage and battery consumption. "Similarly, if Amp is unable to stabilise the frame rate, it will turn off animations. "This ensures that every device gets the best experience it can deliver and makes sure that ads cannot have a negative impact on important aspects of the user experience such as scrolling." One expert said Google would have to provide more details about how the scheme would work in practice before its chance of success could be weighed up. "It has to be a good experience for consumers, but it also has to be a good experience for publishers, linking in with their current advertising systems and giving them the data they need about their viewers," said Ian Fogg, from the consultancy IHS Technology. If it does take off, it could help Google reduce the appeal of ad-blockers. In addition, the faster that pages load, the more articles and therefore ads are likely to be seen. But Mr Fogg added the move could address an even greater threat to the search giant's business. "The big risk for Google is that consumers use the mobile web less and less and use apps instead," he said. "If you use an app, you are more likely to use the search experience built into that platform - if that's Apple, it's Siri; if it's a Microsoft device, it's Bing; or if it's Amazon, it could be Alexa. "If that happens, Google's web search service will eventually get outflanked." What was that article about? A: Google says it has found a way to make adverts load faster on web pages viewed on smartphones and tablets. Sohagi Jahan Tonu, 19, was found dead in high security military zone in the city of Comilla on Sunday. There are widespread rumours that she was raped, although results from her autopsy have not been released. Students have formed human chains at sites across Comilla and Dhaka, demanding police find the killers. Demonstrators gathered at the Shahbagh intersection on Friday evening, with some protesters reportedly saying they would blockade the area for an "indefinite period". While violent crime is a serious problem in Bangladesh, correspondents say it is unusual for someone to be killed in a secured military cantonment. Sum: Hundreds of protesters in Bangladesh have blocked a key intersection in the capital, Dhaka, over the killing of a student in a military area. Q: The government of British Columbia (BC) says the requirement is discriminatory as well as being a health and safety issue because they are dangerous. It says that high heel wearers face a risk of physical injury from slipping or falling as well as possible damage to the feet, legs and back. Footwear should be designed to allow workers to operate safely, it says. The announcement of the ban comes after a provincial Green party politician in March introduced a bill in the BC legislature aimed at preventing employers from setting gender-based footwear requirements. BC Green Party leader Andrew Weaver filed a private member's bill "designed to prevent employers from setting varying footwear and other requirements based on gender, gender expression or gender identity". His bill covered all workplaces, including retail and corporate offices. But instead of implementing it, the provincial government opted instead to amend footwear rules under the Workers' Compensation Act. BC Premier Christy Clark said that in some provincial workplaces, women were unfairly required to wear high heels. "Like most British Columbians, our government thinks this is wrong. That is why we're changing this regulation to stop this unsafe and discriminatory practice," she said. The new regulation states that workplace footwear must be of "a design, construction and material that allows the worker to safely perform their work and ensures that employers cannot require footwear contrary to this standard". The new guidelines, drafted by WorkSafeBC, are expected to be available by the end of April. High heels - and whether women should be required to wear them in the workplace, or at the Cannes film festival - has become a fashion flashpoint in recent years. Do men treat you better when you wear heels? High heels and flip-flops: Work dress code victims In Canada, much of the debate around dress codes for female employees has centred around the restaurant industry, where critics have said gender-specific dress codes are too common and based on stereotypes or sexist ideas of how a woman should dress. A: A Canadian province has scrapped the dress code which requires female employees to wear high heels. Text: Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, a mother-of-three, died after she was hit by a bus on The Kingsway on March 31. Daniel Foss, 37, died in the same road in October 2013. Swansea's acting senior coroner has said the road has a "serious design issue", which "must be addressed" by Swansea council. Colin Phillips, who also sits as senior coroner for Neath Port Talbot, issued the report to councillors as part of his investigation into Mr Foss's death. He said he had been made aware of 10 reported traffic incidents on the road since Mr Foss died, including that involving Sgt Lucas. Mr Phillips said there were more than 100 incidents on The Kingsway between 2008 and 2015, with 36 passengers reportedly injured while travelling on buses when drivers took "evasive action". "There would appear to be a serious design issue which must be addressed by the local authority to make the road safer for the public," he Phillips added. "In my opinion, there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken," he said. Swansea council must respond to the coroner's report within 56 days. The current traffic system on the road allows two lanes of all traffic to travel west on one side of the road, with two lanes of public transport - one going east and one west - on the other side. Swansea council announced after Sgt Lucas's death that it would install barriers on the road's central reservation and change the traffic flow in the bus lane "as quickly" as possible. summary:

A coroner has called for "urgent action" on the Swansea city centre road where two people including an off-duty police officer have died.

Summarize this article: The police fired a number of plastic bullets and a photographer was hit. The trouble broke out after police in riot gear took up position ahead of an Orange parade walking past the Ardoyne shops on Tuesday evening. Police said a number of officers were injured. One received minor burns to his face when his head was engulfed in flames when hit by a petrol bomb. Stones, bottles and fireworks were thrown at police. Water cannon was used to push back the crowd of about 200 people. In 2010, there were several days of rioting after the parade was allowed to walk past the shops. The Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (GARC), which opposes the Orange parade passing through the nationalist Ardoyne, held a protest in response to the Parades Commission decision to allow the march to pass the shops. On the Twelfth of July, the Protestant Orange Order takes part in demonstrations across Northern Ireland, commemorating Prince William of Orange's 1690 Battle of the Boyne victory over catholic King James II. PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Alistair Finlay said the scale of the violence had been "intense". "There were a lot of petrol bombs, masonry and missiles thrown at police," he said. "It was a scale which we regrettably have seen before. "You can see the level of threat my officers are under and the risk they take in securing the safety of others." By Andy MartinBBC News The return Orange Order feeder parade through Ardoyne has been treated as 'contentious' by the Parades Commission for years. Objections from residents on the nationalist part of the Crumlin Road through which it passes have led to serious rioting in the past. Where mainstream republicans were once able to use their influence to calm trouble, there are now two distinct nationalist groups. Those that subscribe to Sinn Fein's peace strategy, and those who do not. The difference was plain to see this evening as former senior members of the IRA effectively marshalled one group of protesters, while another threw petrol bombs and bricks at the police. Sinn Fein's influence over this group is limited. Some are involved because they genuinely object to the parade, others are there because they simply enjoy rioting with the police. Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly said a parade in the area would continue to be a problem. "The difficulty was that there was an Orange parade," he said. "People have made great efforts, but a parade coming through a catholic area is a problem. "I would appeal to the Orange Order, especially in Belfast where there seems to be an attitude of no talking, they need to talk." The DUP MP for North Belfast Nigel Dodds said people had to realise that the Crumlin Road was a "shared space and not just a nationalist road". "The people engaged in the violence didn't even see the parade go past," he said. "There was a peaceful protest against the parade and it dispersed. "This violence was intended, created and brought into existence by a small group of militant extreme republicans who were determined to have it, come what may." ACC Finlay said there had only been two or three arrests following the Ardoyne trouble, however the low number was due to the tactics police used to keep people safe and restore order. He said CCTV footage would be watched closely to identify rioters. There were also pockets of violence in Belfast and Londonderry. In the Markets area of Belfast, a number of youths threw stones and missiles at police in Stewart Street and a car was set on fire. Police arrested three juveniles and two men on suspicion of riotous behaviour. In Derry, seven people, including a 14-year-old boy, were arrested for rioting. A crate of petrol bombs was also recovered in the Fahan Street area of the city. In Armagh, there were reports of public disorder in the Friary Road and Killylea Road areas. And in Ballymena a car was burnt out in Dunclug. On Monday night, 22 police officers were injured during serious rioting in several nationalist areas of west and north Belfast. Summary:

Petrol bombs and other missiles have been thrown at police during rioting in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Asif Ali Zardari is one of Pakistan's most controversial political figures who survived a series of personal and political setbacks to gain the presidency." Article: A: His is the first elected government in Pakistan to serve a full term. But since taking the helm in September 2008, Mr Zardari has presided over an increasingly fragile country, a growing militant threat, a turbulent relationship with the US, an uneasy relationship with the military and nationwide flooding. Furthermore a separatist insurgency in the south-west has not eased, and both the economy and the energy situation have worsened. In May 2011 he had to cope with the fall-out in Pakistan of the killing by US special forces of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in the town of Abbottabad. Recriminations over the killings reflected the traditionally poor relations between his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the army as well as tenser relations with Washington, already strained because of continued US drone strikes against militant targets in the north-west of his country. The fall-out from Bin Laden's death exposed the uneasy relationship between the PPP and Pakistan's military and intelligence services in the governance of the country. During his period in power, Pakistan was hit by numerous suicide bombings - some directed against military and political targets and some more sectarian in nature. Because of militant attacks, the PPP has been all but unable to campaign for the general elections due on 11 May. Among the many opponents ranged against him are some of the country's most popular politicians, including former PM Nawaz Sharif and more recently former cricketer and Movement for Justice party leader Imran Khan. Both have been critical of President Zardari's support for the US and Nato in the battle against Taliban militants in Afghanistan. Yet in spite of the wide array of problems he faces, President Zardari has remained doggedly in position - outlasting Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani who in 2012 was forced out of office after the Supreme Court convicted him of contempt for failing to pursue a corruption case against the president. Mr Zardari's mercurial career has taken many a dramatic turn since his marriage in December 1987 to the charismatic former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. He was thrust into the centre of politics when Ms Bhutto was assassinated 20 years later. Since then and now his career has veered from being imprisoned for corruption - complaining that he was tortured when behind bars - to taking the country's top job by leading the PPP to victory in general elections after his wife's death. Perhaps the high point of his political life came in 2008 when he played a pivotal role with former political enemies to force President Pervez Musharraf to resign. But he has also been the subject of unfavourable scrutiny - in 2010 he was widely criticised for visiting Europe at the height of some of the worst floods to hit Pakistan in recent years. In November 2011 he was dealt another blow by the resignation of Pakistan's ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani. Both Mr Haqqani and the president were accused of drafting a controversial memo in which they allegedly sought US military help against a possible military coup in Pakistan. They denied the charges. But his political struggles today are still a far cry from the period before Ms Bhutto's death, when Mr Zardari's public image was so bad that the PPP kept him out of the public eye as much as possible during the campaigning for national elections in February 2008. Mr Zardari was seen then as a political liability. He spent several years in jail on charges of corruption. He was labelled "Mr 10%" for all the kick-backs he is alleged to have received. He found himself in major trouble in 1990 when he was accused, among other things, of tying a remote-controlled bomb to the leg of a businessman and sending him into a bank to withdraw money from his account as a pay-off. Those charges were never proved. The PPP had then accused the country's powerful intelligence apparatus of maligning Mr Zardari to damage Ms Bhutto's image. In 1993, when then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan sacked the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Mr Zardari was escorted from the prison straight to the presidency where he was sworn in as a minister in the interim government. Later, when the PPP won the 1993 elections, Mr Zardari moved with his wife to the Prime Minister's House in Islamabad where he lived for the next three years. In 1996, when another president sacked the PPP government, he was arrested and charged with a number of offences including the murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, his wife's brother. He was later charged, along with his wife, and convicted in a kickbacks scam involving a Swiss company, SGS. But a mistrial was declared by Pakistan's Supreme Court following a major scandal involving the accountability bureau and the judge who had issued the verdict. His last prison sentence lasted eight years until 2004, during which time he says he was tortured. It ended as the then General Musharraf was engaged in protracted negotiations with Benazir Bhutto, then in self-imposed exile, for some form of political reconciliation. Mr Zardari resolutely stood by his party as well as his wife - although at times he disagreed with the politics of both. His friends say this was entirely in character and that no-one can deny his personal courage. A close friend recounts an incident in the 1980s when as a horse-riding bachelor he personally rescued the daughter of a German diplomat who had fallen into a bog with her horse. Asif Ali Zardari was born in Karachi to Hakim Ali Zardari, head of one of the "lesser" Sindhi tribes, who chose the urban life over rustic surroundings. He grew up in Karachi and was educated at St Patrick's School - also the alma mater of Pervez Musharraf. The young Zardari's main claim to fame was that he had a private disco at home, helping him gain the reputation as a "playboy". After his release from prison in 2004, Mr Zardari kept a low profile, undergoing medical treatment in the US. In addition to his heart problems he is reported to suffer from diabetes and a spinal ailment - which sometimes prevent him from easily moving around. Ms Bhutto appreciated her husband's loyalty, saying that "despite his failings, he always stood by his family no matter what". Problem: Write an article based on this "Middlesex batsman Nick Gubbins has signed a new contract with the county champions, which will keep him at Lord's until the end of 2019." Article: A: The 22-year-old hit 1,409 first-class runs at an average of 61.26 as the north London side won the Championship title for the first time in 23 years. "Watching him perform was one of the highlights of the summer," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said. "He has the game and temperament to thrive at the highest level." Left-hander Gubbins joined Middlesex aged 14, made his debut in 2014 and has scored hit 2,052 first-class runs at 45.60 in 28 games for the club. He made four centuries and nine half-centuries as Middlesex won the title this summer, with his highest score of 201 not out coming against Lancashire in June. The Richmond-born player's form led to him being named in the England Lions squad for matches against the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan over the winter. Problem: Write an article based on this "Official notification of the UK's intention to leave the EU should be sent to Brussels as soon as possible, First Minister Carwyn Jones has said." Article: A:

The move - known as Article 50 - is important as it starts a strict two-year timetable for withdrawal. David Cameron, who announced his resignation after the referendum, has said his successor should trigger the formal process to leave the union. On Tuesday Mr Jones told AMs a delayed process was not in Wales' interest. In other developments on Tuesday: "My view is that Article 50 should be triggered sooner rather than later," Mr Jones said. "I think waiting months and months and months for it just adds to that uncertainty. "Better that people know where they stand rather than not knowing what's going to happen for many months and many years." Uncertainty was "never going to be helpful" to investment, Mr Jones added, saying that Brexit process should conclude "as quickly as possible". Newsbeat: What is Article 50? Neil Hamilton, UKIP's leader in the assembly, said "in the spirit of cooperation" both he and Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, should be involved in the Welsh Government's Brexit talks with UK ministers. Mr Hamilton said "making the case for Wales" would be "strengthened with the added voices of those who were actually in favour of the result which the people of Wales voted for". Mr Jones said he had written to the prime minister and was waiting for a reply but that "the people of Wales have voted for a Welsh Government to take forward that response". He added there would be involvement with all parties as discussions continued. On Tuesday evening, there was a pro-EU rally held in Cardiff city centre, which attracted almost 1,000 people. One of the organisers, Sioned James, said: "This is not a protest against the results. This is an opportunity to show our appreciation of the European Union and everything it has offered Wales." Cardiff was one of five Welsh local authority areas which voted to Remain in last week's referendum. Among those addressing the crowd were Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood and Gruff Rhys, the frontman of Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals. Remain campaigner Shazia Awan told the crowd that she had been the victim of "shocking" racist messages since the vote.

Problem: Write an article based on this "The Democratic Unionist Party has given details on what it wants in return for supporting a government if there is a hung parliament after the general election in May." Article: A: The party's deputy leader Nigel Dodds outlined its priorities. They include scrapping the so-called bedroom tax, commitments on defence spending and securing UK borders. The details have been given in an article the North Belfast MP has written for the Guardian newspaper. Mr Dodds wrote: "While we naturally will always want the economic and social interests of the people of Northern Ireland as a whole protected, politically we would not seek to exploit for narrow and selfish reasons any leverage at Westminster over devolved matters." On defence Nigel Dodds wrote "committing to spending 2% of GDP is a bare minimum". He also said that "to that end the next government should complete, equip, deploy and defend (not least by commissioning sufficient escorts) the two Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers as a centrepiece of keeping Britain safe and enabling us to better protect our friends and those in need of our help". On the controversial so-called bedroom tax that Labour has pledged to scrap if it gets into power, Mr Dodds said it was "inhumane and ineffective" and the issue should be "revisited" in the next parliament. The DUP is also keen to discuss EU matters with any potential new administration at Westminster. The North Belfast MP said any new government must "comprehensively tackle UK border integrity". He also suggested that "free movement of labour does not have to entail free access to benefits paid for by other countries' taxpayers". The DUP has made it clear it will not enter any formal coalition at Westminster but says it will do what "is best for the country". Earlier this month, in an interview for the BBC NI programme The View, a former Ulster Unionist leader said the DUP may back a Labour administration if there was a hung parliament. Lord Trimble said that although the DUP and Conservatives shared many values, that did not mean they would automatically work together if there was a hung parliament. Mr Dodds said in the event of a hung parliament his party would do "what is right for Northern Ireland". He told the Guardian: "We are looking neither to exploit any position of advantage for limited party ends, nor merely present a shopping list of desirable goodies funded by a depleted and hard pressed Treasury". Later on Thursday, Mr Dodds told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Labour leader Ed Miliband would have to offer a referendum on Europe to win DUP support for any government he may try to form after the election. "I think an EU referendum needs to be part of what is on offer to the British people after the election, whoever is prime minister," he said. Mr Dodds also said his party would find it "difficult" to support a government that included the SNP. "They are fundamentally out to break the United Kingdom, break up the UK, and we are very very staunch in our belief that the union should be maintained."

Article: A: A team at Dounreay were faced with the challenge of retrieving small pieces of radioactive metal from inside the site's Prototype Fast Reactor (PFR). They came up with placing a blob of the tacky substance on a 10m (32ft) rod which was inserted deep into the PFR. The metal sticks to the soft adhesive and can then be collected for analysis. Dounreay, near Thurso in Caithness, is being closed down at a cost of about more than £1bn. Teams involved in the decommissioning and clean up work have frequently been asked to find cost-effective ways of dealing with hazardous radioactive material. Other household items have been put to use at the site, including kitchen can openers and soup tin-sized cans that have held radioactive material for more than 30 years. And a silver ironing board cover and a duvet have protected a robotic camera built to explore pipes inside the Dounreay Fast Reactor. Problem: Write an article based on this "The EU's top court has backed the European Commission's bid to boost pay for EU staff by 3.7%, instead of the 1.85% that the member states wanted." Article: A:

The 27 governments - collectively called the Council - wanted to limit the pay rise to 1.85% because of tough economic conditions in Europe. The European Court of Justice says the Council "exceeded its powers" when it decided on the 1.85% figure. The court case, affecting about 45,000 EU staff, began in January. "The articles of the [Council] regulation that fix new amounts for salaries are annulled," the court ruling said on Wednesday. Under the rules, staff salary adjustments take effect on 1 July, so the pay increase will have to be backdated. The move will still require a new Council regulation in line with the court ruling. The green light for the higher EU pay rise comes as national civil services are shedding jobs and freezing or cutting staff pay. The pay settlement for 2009-2010 was based on 2008 figures, reflecting economic conditions that were much better at the time. A complicated formula is used, based on civil service pay in eight of the EU's richer countries and on the cost of living in Brussels. The eight reference countries account for 76% of the EU's total GDP. The judges, who are also on the EU payroll, said the Council's only legal option to adjust EU salaries because of an economic downturn was under an exceptional clause in the regulations - but the Council had not taken that route. The Commission would have had to agree to such a move anyway. The Commission - the EU's executive arm - drafts laws and acts as guardian of the treaties. The court, whose rulings are binding on member states, sits in Luxembourg. Basic gross monthly salaries for Commission staff currently range from about 2,600 euros (£2,211) for a secretary to about 18,000 euros (£15,300) for a head of department, and about 20,000 euros for a commissioner. The special Community tax paid by EU staff is generally lower than national rates of income tax for civil servants. EU staff in Brussels and Luxembourg also get a wide range of allowances, including a residence allowance equivalent to 15% of their basic salary. Family-related allowances include a household allowance, a dependant child allowance, an educational allowance and a pre-school allowance. The Commission said it was satisfied with the court's decision, which was in line with the agreed method of salary adjustment. A Commission spokesman, Michael Mann, told the BBC that for 2010-2011 the salary calculation indicated a 2% cut in purchasing power for EU staff in Brussels, to match an equivalent cut in civil servants' salaries in the eight EU reference countries. So to keep pace with the 2.4% inflation rate in Brussels the EU pay increase for 2010-2011 would have to be 0.4%, he said. Since 2004 EU salaries have lost 5.3% of their purchasing power, he said.

Text: They have proven it over the years, especially on the world business stage, with Chinese companies becoming dominant global players in various sectors. Now, they are facing their toughest test. China has set its sights on commercial aeroplane manufacturing - a sector that has arguably more hurdles and stumbling blocks than any other. "The barriers to entry in commercial aircraft manufacturing are extremely high, and they are not just technological," says Richard Bitzinger, a senior fellow at S Rajaratnam School of International Studies. The state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) is the one tasked with helping Beijing break into the sector. Set up in 2008, the firm is betting on its C919 aeroplane - a narrow-body, or single aisle plane that can seat up to 168 passengers - to be its launch pad. The company is targeting the segment as the market for 100 to 200-seat single-aisle planes is forecast to be worth $20 trillion (£12.8tn) over the next 20 years. A large part of that growth is expected to come from Asia, and Comac is looking to attract customers with its presence at this week's Singapore Airshow. However, it is up against stiff competition. The sector is dominated by Airbus's A320 and Boeing's 737, which have received more than 10,000 orders each. "Comac is up against one of the world's strongest duopolies," says Mr Bitzinger. "Airbus and Boeing produce nearly every 100-seat-and-above passenger jet flown by nearly every airline in the world." Other firms are also eyeing the sector. Bombardier's much-anticipated C-Series aircraft is seen by many as the most serious potential rival to Airbus and Boeing in the segment. As that plane gets ready to enter commercial service, it is likely to become even tougher for Comac to break in. Perhaps an even bigger hurdle is winning the trust of customers that it can build a reliable and safe plane, not least because hundreds of lives are at stake every time a plane is airborne. Planes are highly complex machines. Thousands of parts need to be fitted and integrated together for them to function properly and any faults can create serious problems. This is where, analysts say, China's reputation over safety issues may prove to be a stumbling block. "There is a perception that China doesn't have strict quality control," says Shukor Yusof, an aviation analyst with Standard & Poor's. "Whether that is justified in this case, we don't know. But when it comes to aeroplane manufacturing, perception is everything." Shivaji Das, an aviation analyst with consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, adds that previous quality control scandals in other sectors such as baby formula have contributed to such concerns. Many of the key components for the plane, including its engine, are being supplied by foreign firms. Its suppliers include GE, Honeywell Aerospace and Rockwell Collins. Comac has also agreed a technical collaboration with Bombardier. That should help allay some concerns over quality control. However, analysts say that eventually the parts are being put together at local facilities and Comac's inexperience in doing so may worry some customers. The fact that Comac has delayed the first test flight of the plane has not helped. "No-one wants to be a beta tester of a new aircraft, especially from a manufacturer with little or no prior experience," says Mr Bitzinger. "There are many things that can go wrong with a new plane and as an airline you need to feel assured the manufacturer has the resources and capability to sort it out quickly." Even Boeing and Airbus - with decades of experience - have faced problems with new models. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has had problems with battery fires, while Airbus's A380 saw hairline cracks appear on some of the brackets used to link the wing to the plane. The one thing going in favour of Comac is that it does not need to rely on global orders, at least not yet. China is one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets and is likely to see big demand for single-aisle planes over the next two decades. Comac has already got 400 orders for the C919 - mostly from China - and the number is expected to rise further. "They are likely to get some sort of a protected access to the domestic market," says Mr Das, of Frost & Sullivan. He adds that starting out in the domestic market is likely to benefit Comac. "It's their home turf, so safety and quality concerns are likely to be less of an issue," he says. "And if the plane performs well over time, with no major problems, you can't rule them out from having a serious shot on the global stage," he adds. International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways and Iberia, is already talking to Comac about future aeroplane needs. A turbulence-free take-off in China may well ensure a smooth landing in those markets. summary: The Chinese have a saying: "Nothing is impossible to a willing mind." Text: He said the US military would want to gather intelligence from the missile's flight instead of intercepting it. Mr Carter's remarks follow President-elect Donald Trump's Twitter comments on North Korea's nuclear ambitions. Mr Trump had said the North's development of a nuclear missile that could reach the US "won't happen". He did not elaborate how he would stop such plans. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had claimed in his New Year's Day address that his country had reached the final stages in developing a long-range nuclear missile. Mr Carter said on Tuesday in his final press briefing that if a North Korean long-range missile is ever deemed to be threatening, "it will be intercepted". "If it's not threatening, we won't necessarily do so. Because it may be more to our advantage to, first of all, save our interceptor inventory, and, second, to gather intelligence from the flight." Mr Carter is due to step down as Pentagon chief when President Barack Obama's administration ends on 20 January. But the top US military officer, Marine General Joseph Dunford, who will remain as Mr Trump's top uniformed military advisor and was at the event, agreed with Mr Carter. On Sunday, North Korean state news agency KCNA quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying that a missile "will be launched anytime and anywhere" as determined by Pyongyang, despite efforts by the US to contain them. North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests over the last year - five in total - raising fears that it has made significant nuclear advances. It has never successfully test-fired long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, but experts estimate it may be able to do so within five years. UN resolutions have repeatedly called for an end to the country's nuclear and missile tests. summary:

US Defence Secretary Ash Carter has said the US would not necessarily shoot down a North Korean missile, if it was not threatening.
