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.

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.
Mae BBC Cymru ar ddeall bod prif weithredwr corff gwarchod cleifion wedi cael ei wahardd o'i swydd ar dâl llawn ers mis Chwefror 2016.

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. A quantity of cash and other items were handed over by a staff member before the offender fled the scene on foot. Police appealed for information from customers in the store and said extra patrols were being carried out. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
An armed robber is being sought by police following a raid on a Hampshire convenience store.

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." Problem: Write an article based on this "Blu-Tack has been used to take samples from inside the core of a nuclear reactor, saving thousands of pounds in developing a specialist tool." 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.

Article: The campaign used the slogan "fresh in our memories" over photos of World War One soldiers, echoing Woolworth's slogan "The fresh food people". Minister for Veterans' Affairs Michael Ronaldson said he had demanded the company take down the campaign. Woolworths has said it regrets any offence caused. The row comes as Australia and New Zealand prepare to mark the centenary of the Gallipoli landings on 25 April 1915. The Woolworths website had encouraged visitors to change their social media profile pictures by uploading images of past and present servicemen and servicewomen. The picture generator branded the images with its logo and the words: "Lest We Forget Anzac 1915-2015. Fresh in our memories." Woolworths' slogan in Australia is "The Fresh Food People", but the company denied it was a marketing strategy. Many visitors to its Facebook page disagreed though. Other disgruntled consumers created their own versions of the generated images and uploaded them on to social media. Analysis: Wendy Frew, Australia editor, BBC News Online Anzac Day is arguably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One and commemorates all the conflicts that followed. The problem is, for some time Woolworths has branded itself "the fresh food people". The ensuing backlash on social media showed Australians don't want Gallipoli - which in recent years has been elevated to an almost spiritual plane - tainted by commercial considerations. That reverence is backed by law. In 1921, regulations were put in place to protect the word "Anzac" from inappropriate use. Why Australia protects 'Anzac' Mr Ronaldson said in a statement: "The Australian community quite rightly expects that the word 'Anzac' is not trivialised or used inappropriately and as Minister for Veterans' Affairs, I am responsible for ensuring that any use of the word Anzac does not provide commercial benefit to an organisation. "In this instance, permission was not sought by the campaign proponents, nor would it have been approved. Immediately upon having this campaign brought to my attention, I contacted Woolworths." The company said in a statement: "The Fresh in Our Memories website has been taken down. The site was developed to give our staff and customers a place to put their stories to mark the centenary of Anzac. "We regret that our branding on the picture generator has caused offence, this was clearly never our intention. Like many heritage Australian companies, we were marking our respect for Anzac and our veterans. "We continue to be proud supporters of the RSL (Returned and Services League) and Camp Gallipoli in this important year and look forward to working with them into the future." ++++++++++ Summarize: The supermarket giant Woolworths has taken down an online Anzac Day campaign in Australia after it attracted strong criticism on social media. Problem: Plans for the station in Aston Fields, to be built about 320ft (100m) from the existing Bromsgrove station, were approved last year. The station will increase capacity to four platforms with a 350-space car park and should lead to a more frequent rail service between Bromsgrove and Birmingham, train operators said. Stage one of the work is due to be completed by May 2015. Further work to bring all four platforms into use could take 12 months longer. What was that article about? A: Work on a £17.4m replacement railway station in Worcestershire has started. Rhesus monkeys were paralysed in one leg due to a damaged spinal cord. The team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology bypassed the injury by sending the instructions straight from the brain to the nerves controlling leg movement. Experts said the technology could be ready for human trials within a decade. Dr Andrew Jackson talks about the primate brain chip Spinal cord injuries block the flow of electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body resulting in paralysis. It is a wound that rarely heals, but one potential solution is to use technology to bypass the injury. In the study, a chip was implanted into the part of the monkeys' brain that controls movement. Its job was to read the spikes of electrical activity that are the instructions for moving the legs and send them to a nearby computer. It deciphered the messages and sent instructions to an implant in the monkey's spine to electrically stimulate the appropriate nerves. The process all takes place in real time. The results, published in the journal Nature, showed the monkeys regained some control of their paralysed leg within six days and could walk in a straight line on a treadmill. Dr Gregoire Courtine, one of the researchers, said: "This is the first time that a neurotechnology has restored locomotion in primates." He told the BBC News website: "The movement was close to normal for the basic walking pattern, but so far we have not been able to test the ability to steer." The technology used to stimulate the spinal cord is the same as that used in deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's disease, so it would not be a technological leap to doing the same tests in patients. "But the way we walk is different to primates, we are bipedal and this requires more sophisticated ways to stimulate the muscle," said Dr Courtine. Jocelyne Bloch, a neurosurgeon from the Lausanne University Hospital, said: "The link between decoding of the brain and the stimulation of the spinal cord is completely new. "For the first time, I can image a completely paralysed patient being able to move their legs through this brain-spine interface." Using technology to overcome paralysis is a rapidly developing field: Dr Mark Bacon, the director of research at the charity Spinal Research, said: "This is quite impressive work. "Paralysed patients want to be able to regain real control, that is voluntary control of lost functions, like walking, and the use of implantable devices may be one way of achieving this. "The current work is a clear demonstration that there is progress being made in the right direction." Dr Andrew Jackson, from the Institute of Neuroscience and Newcastle University, said: "It is not unreasonable to speculate that we could see the first clinical demonstrations of interfaces between the brain and spinal cord by the end of the decade." However, he said, rhesus monkeys used all four limbs to move and only one leg had been paralysed, so it would be a greater challenge to restore the movement of both legs in people. "Useful locomotion also requires control of balance, steering and obstacle avoidance, which were not addressed," he added. The other approach to treating paralysis involves transplanting cells from the nasal cavity into the spinal cord to try to biologically repair the injury. Following this treatment, Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame. Neither approach is ready for routine use. Follow James on Twitter. Sum: An implant that beams instructions out of the brain has been used to restore movement in paralysed primates for the first time, say scientists. Problem: England is Mine is set in 1970s Manchester where Steven Morrissey is an introverted, uncompromising teenager. Jack Lowden plays the frustrated would-be star as he dreams of a music career while working in his local tax office. EIFF artistic director Mark Adams said: "Morrissey is one of Britain's most iconic artists." He added: "This delve into his formative years is a witty and enthralling look at a great music talent." The title of the film, directed by Mark Gill, comes from the lyric of early Smiths' song Still Ill, "England is mine and it owes me a living". The screening will wrap up the 71st EIFF on 2 July. The film festival will begin on 21 June with the UK premiere of God's Own Country. Francis Lee's debut feature was shot in West Yorkshire and is set on the sheep farming hills of rural Northern England. It is about the relationship between a Romanian worker and the owner of a farm.

Summarize this article in one sentence. "The deaths occurred over the past 12 days, with nine of them occurring over the past 24 hours," said a provincial health spokesperson. Some 60 boys have been rescued from 11 initiation schools which have since been closed. Circumcision is seen as a rite of passage into manhood in some South African communities. The practice is common among the Xhosa and Ndebele communities. However, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini wants it reintroduced among the Zulu people because of reports that medical circumcision can reduce the chances of getting HIV. The rescued boys have been taken to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha. "All 60 of them have septic wounds and are dehydrated," said Eastern Cape health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo, reports Sapa news agency. "Four of the boys even need their genitals removed completely, as it could result in death if it's not. We are just waiting for consent from their parents to perform the procedures." Illegal initiation schools have become common in the Eastern Cape, especially in rural areas. Unregistered surgeons often set them up as a way of making money, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg. Earlier this week, seven under-aged initiates were rescued from an illegal initiation school run by a 55-year-old unregistered traditional surgeon who had been arrested several times for the offence. "He was recently given a three-year suspended sentence but he continued doing the same thing. In the past five years, close to 20 initiates died in his schools and 15 had their penises amputated," said the Eastern Cape health department. Health department officials are meeting the police, members of the justice department and prosecutors to discuss the prosecution of those contravening the Traditional Circumcision Act, which regulates the custom in the province, according to Sapa. "The major problem is that parents are reluctant to prosecute illegal traditional surgeons who sometimes force their children into circumcision at a very young age," Mr Kupelo said. "We identify the perpetrators, but if parents are not willing to open cases against them, they are freed and continue illegally circumcising and killing these boys." Most initiations are either done in June-July or November-December. Last year, 91 initiates died and hundreds were hospitalised in the province.
Twenty South African boys have died following botched circumcisions in the Eastern Cape Province.

Summarize: "It was like a miracle," said Narcis Bardalet, who was in charge of embalming Dalí's body 28 years ago, adding that the hair was also intact. The body was exhumed in the north-eastern Spanish city of Figueres to settle a paternity case. A woman says her mother had an affair with the world-famous artist. If María Pilar Abel Martínez is proved right, she could assume part of Dalí's estate, currently owned by the Spanish state. Dalí's body was exhumed from a crypt in a museum dedicated to his life and work on Thursday evening. "When I took off the silk handkerchief, I was very emotional," Mr Bardalet told RAC1 radio station on Friday morning. "I was eager to see him and I was absolutely stunned. It was like a miracle... his moustache appeared at 10 past 10 exactly and his hair was intact," he added. Lluís Peñuelas, the secretary of the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, said that it was "a moving moment". DNA samples have been taken from the artist's teeth, bones and nails in a four-hour operation, the officials say. It may take weeks before the results of the tests are known. The exhumation went ahead following a court order on behalf of Ms Martínez. This was despite the objections of the local authorities and the Dalí Foundation, both of which said that not enough notice had been given. Ms Martínez, a tarot card reader who was born in 1956, says her mother had an affair with Dalí in the year before her birth. Her mother, Antonia, had worked for a family that spent time in Cadaqués, near the painter's home. Ms Martínez's action is against the Spanish state, to which Dalí left his estate. Ms Martínez says her mother and paternal grandmother both told her at an early age that Dalí was her real father. But the claim has surprised many, including Ian Gibson, an Irish-born biographer of Dalí, who said that the notion of the artist having an affair that produced a child was "absolutely impossible". "Dalí always boasted: 'I'm impotent, you've got to be impotent to be a great painter'," the biographer said. Photo gallery of Dalí's work

Summarize this article in one sentence. Globo Comunicacao e Participacoes asked the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to register the sound in 2014. But EUIPO refused their request, saying it had "no distinctive character" and was a "banal and commonplace" ringtone which was not easily distinguishable. The European Union's General Court has now upheld the decision. The Court said that all sounds could constitute a trademark if they were represented graphically, as the Grupo Globo one was. However, it felt that members of the public would think the suggested ringtone - which it described as only a "'standard' ringing sound" - was simply a part of their mobile device and not something which would distinguish the broadcaster. Listen: When mobile phone ringtones hit back Listen: The secret to a successful ringtone The Court also felt the ringtone was not distinctive enough to be recognised as a trademark for TV programmes. It said: "As regards the television broadcasting services and the services which may be provided in the form of television programmes, the Court applies the same reasoning by stating that the sound mark, owing to its banality, will be perceived by the public as indicating the beginning or end of a television programme. "Since the mark applied for is devoid of any distinctive character, the Court holds that EUIPO did not err in refusing to register it."

Write an article based on this summary: Labour has doubled its number of MEPs in London after winning half of the region's eight seats in the European election. +++++++ A: It topped the poll with 806,959 votes, while the Conservatives won two seats with 495,639 votes. UKIP and the Green Party each retained one seat with 371,133 and 196,419 votes respectively. The Liberal Democrats, who came fifth overall, lost their MEP in London, with the Tories also down one. Before the results were out and the sitting Lib Dem MEP Baroness Sarah Ludford lost her seat, she seemed to sense the party may not do well. She said: "It's nobody's fault, I don't think. I am certainly not blaming anybody, I am not going around asking for anybody's head. By Karl MercerPolitical Correspondent, BBC London So, for the first time in 15 years, the Lib Dems have no London representative at the European Parliament. Baroness Ludford bowing out at City Hall last night capped a miserable couple of days for the party here in the capital, with Londoners turning against the party in both the town hall and European elections. The scale of their demise is hard to exaggerate. The Lib Dems now have no local councillors on 18 of London's 32 boroughs. On half a dozen more, they have just one councillor. In total across the capital, they lost half of their local representatives and now have just over 120 councillors. They run just one London council, Sutton. This of course, on the back of their disastrous mayoral election campaign in 2012, when their candidate Brian Paddick polled less than 5% of the vote and lost his deposit. Coalition it seems, has not served the Lib Dems well when it comes to getting votes in the capital. If that's bad enough news now, there will be several Lib Dem MPs looking nervously at the results ahead of next year's general election. International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone will have noted that the Lib Dems lost 14 councillors in Haringey, Justice Minister Simon Hughes saw a dozen go from his local authority Southwark, and former Education Minister Sarah Teather (who is standing down next year) saw the party down to just one councillor in Brent. Energy Secretary Ed Davey will no doubt ponder the fact that the Lib Dems lost control of Kingston, in his backyard. The capital's Lib Dems won't have long to reflect on the past few days - they will have to start preparing for equally tough battles ahead. "I am proud of the campaign we fought, I am proud of Nick Clegg taking on Nigel Farage and his divisive fear-mongering, whipping up prejudiced attitudes, I am proud that we have fought a pro-European campaign." Later she added: "I think it's a great shame that Europe's premier city does not have an MEP now from the pro-European party the Liberal Democrats." Former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell said: "Deeply disappointed, for me and the party, but particularly for people like Sarah Ludford, who has been a tower of strength in the European Parliament, highly regarded, taken a particular interest in human rights, and represented the people of London in a wholly effective and well-judged way." Labour candidates Claude Moraes, Mary Honeyball, Lucy Anderson and Seb Dance all took seats. Mr Moraes said Labour's performance was an "extraordinary result" which "bucked" the national trend. He said: "It's our best result in London in the European elections since the PR system began. "Labour is generally a pro-European party but sees London's future as an internationally outward-looking city, at ease with itself and at ease with the kind of issues UKIP's scaring everyone about... but also bread and butter issues that we were not afraid to talk about on the doorstep, like the cost of living." They will be joined by Charles Tannock and Dr Syed Kamall for the Conservatives, Gerard Batten for UKIP and Jean Lambert for the Green party. After his win Mr Batten said: "In London my only regret is that we didn't get our second candidate elected, Paul Oakley, but we did double our share of the vote and in a number of boroughs I believe we either came second or first, in one at least. That's been a fantastic achievement." Dr Kamall said: "Over the next few years we will continue as Conservative MEPs to stand up for London, its financial sector, its creative industries, its wonderful diversity. "In Britain we have a long-term plan to fix the economic mess that we inherited and in Europe we will continue to build the coalitions across parties... to make sure we deliver the reform that we need." Prof Tony Travers, the director of the Greater London Group at the London School of Economics said: "There is some evidence from opinion polls that Londoners have a different view, more optimistic and more positive about the EU than the country as a whole. "In some polls, interestingly, London and Scotland have a similar view about Europe and it is more positive than the other parts of the UK. "It's the proximity to Europe on one hand and the particular make up of London's population I think [which] makes it more positive about Europe and less likely to vote UKIP." Seats in the European Parliament are allocated according to the D'Hondt system, a type of proportional representation. Write an article based on this summary: The Lord Chief Justice has said the remaining legacy inquests in Northern Ireland can be dealt with in five years if he gets the necessary funding. +++++++ A: Sir Declan Morgan proposed setting up a legacy inquest unit with its own staffing and resourcing to deal with Troubles related inquests. After a review of more than 50 outstanding cases it has been decided that all are suitable for inquest. Sir Declan says he believes these could start in September. He met the families of those involved in the legacy inquests on Friday, including relatives of those shot dead by soldiers in Ballymurphy. The purpose of the meeting was to give the families, supported by their legal representatives, an opportunity to give their views on how best to ensure that all of the legacy cases are progressed as quickly as possible through the inquest system. Sir Declan said there was "much to be done". "If we are given the necessary resources and we obtain the full co-operation of the relevant statutory agencies, I am confident that it should be possible to hear all of the remaining legacy cases within about five years," he said. "I set out for the families today the way in which I think this could be achieved under the oversight of Mr Justice Colton, as the presiding coroner. "It is clear that the existing Coroners Service is not adequately resourced to carry the weight of these cases and so we will need to establish a new, dedicated legacy inquest unit as a matter of urgency." Justice Minister David Ford welcomed Sir Declan's comments on the legacy inquests. "I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that victims, survivors and families get access to the information, justice and services they deserve. "My officials are working with the office of the Lord Chief Justice to agree the structure, resources and operational arrangements for a new legacy inquest unit based on the Lord Chief Justice's developing thinking." Victims Commissioner Judith Thompson also welcomed the move. "Having consulted with victims and survivor groups throughout Northern Ireland in the last month, it is also clear that balance has to be achieved in the disclosure of information from all parties involved," she said. "Ultimately victims understand that the truth will be uncomfortable for everyone, but that should not stand in the way of an acknowledgement of what happened in the past." Ms Thompson said there were three "areas of concern" for victims. "These areas include the establishment of the HIU (Historical Investigations Unit) to bring a more balanced focus to legacy investigation, implementation of the mental health trauma service and the pension for seriously injured," she said.

The calculations are based on five new states joining the EU by 2020 and the pull factor of the UK's Living Wage. Britain Stronger in Europe said Mr Gove's claims were "absurd, cynical and frankly wrong". Prime Minister David Cameron has said it will be "decades" before Turkey joins the EU and there is no firm date for the accession of Albania, Montenegro, Serbia and Macedonia. A briefing document from Vote Leave says the EU's commitment to the free movement of people and the UK's new National Living Wage mean net migration from the EU to the UK will be between 170,000 and 430,000 a year - adding between 2.58m and 5.23m people to the UK population by 2030. This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe. The group calculates the NHS could have to contend with a new group of patients the size of "four Birminghams", and A&E demand could increase by up to 57%. Voting to leave could mean "millions of pounds saved in ending EU contributions" could be given to "strengthen" the NHS instead, Mr Gove said. "Boris Johnson and I will use all our influence with government to give the NHS additional support when we wake up on 24 June. But if we vote to remain, I fear that the NHS will only face additional pressures. "Even without the accession of any new countries, we can expect a continuing net flow of 172,000 new individuals from the EU into UK every year." But the EU was committed to allowing five new countries to join, he said, whose citizens would "inevitably" be attracted to the UK: "The idea of asking the NHS to look after a new group of patients equivalent in size to four Birminghams is clearly unsustainable." The Office for National Statistics predicts that net migration to the UK - from countries across the world, not just the EU - will add up to just under three million by 2029. Vote Leave says the ONS has "consistently underestimated the true level of migration" in the past and there are "strong reasons to doubt this forecast". But the campaign group's figures were criticised by those campaigning for the UK to remain in the European Union. Mr Gove's Conservative colleague Philip Hammond said: "I think these figures are very often just plucked from thin air and they're not designed to inform - they're designed to confuse. The reality is that further steps of EU enlargement are likely to be some way away." He said Britain could use its veto on a country's application to join the EU "if we decide that it is in our interest to do so". Mr Gove stood by the figures, describing them as "robust and methodologically fair". Asked whether Vote Leave were abandoning the economic argument to concentrate on immigration, he said they were running a "full spectrum campaign" adding: "I think we are winning the economic argument". Lucy Thomas, the deputy director of Britain Stronger in Europe said Mr Gove's claims that A&E demand could increase by 57% were "absurd, cynical and frankly wrong". She added: "By leaving the EU's single market, our economy would hit and our public finances would be be 36 billion pounds poorer. That would mean hospitals, our NHS, would be far worse off. So leaving would damage our NHS, not make it stronger".

Problem: Article: Stephen Richard Jessett died after his Yamaha motorbike was in collision with a road sign and a black VW Polo on the roundabout to Llwydcoed on the A4059. Mr Jessett, who was 29, lived in the Pant area of Merthyr Tydfil. A family statement described him as "a very social person who would be found laughing and smiling" and "at the centre of any gathering". Police appealed for witnesses to the incident which happened at 16:10 BST Friday. Answer: [[Tributes have been paid to a motorcyclist who died following a crash in Aberdare on Friday.]] Problem: Article: Dolan, 43, won nine of the 13 legs as he finished with an average of 95.123 and a checkout percentage of 56. World number 23 Dolan took the opening set 3-0 at Alexandra Palace as he won two legs against the darts. Former BDO world champion Kist, 30, won the second set 3-0 but Belcoo man Dolan quickly regained control. Kist, who won at Lakeside in 2012, looked in control after taking a big lead in the first leg but missed three darts on double 12 which allowed Dolan to pinch the opener. After Dolan went on to quickly wrap up the set, Kist looked to be in the groove as he whitewashed the Northern Irishman in set two, but a 180 in the opening leg of the third saw Dolan wrest back the initiative. Dolan took the third set 3-0 and while Kist's last-ditch dart on double one saw him level at 1-1 all in the fourth, the Fermanagh man won the next two legs to set up a second-round meeting on 28 December with the winner of the all-Dutch first-round encounter between Jelle Klaasen or Jeffrey de Graff. The Northern Irishman has never been beyond the second round in his nine appearances at the PDC World Championship but he was delighted with his performance on Tuesday night. "I struggled quite a bit for 18 months but my around October or November my game started to improve," said Dolan. Dolan is the second Northern Ireland player into the second-round draw after Londonderry man Daryl Gurney defeated Dutchman Jermaine Wattimena 3-1 on Sunday.

Gatland has made six changes to the team that beat Fiji 23-13 last time out for Saturday's encounter at Twickenham. "You win this group and potentially your road through to quarters, semis and finals is easier than the other side of the draw," he said. "We're desperate to finish off well and win this group, and hopefully give ourselves potentially a second seed team in the quarter-finals." The key changes to the team see Samson Lee and Paul James return to the front row in place of Tomas Francis and Gethin Jenkins, while Justin Tipuric and Sam Warburton team up in the back row. George North moves to centre from wing, where Liam Williams returns. Gareth Anscombe gets the nod over Matthew Morgan at full-back. Of all the Wales changes, the front row selection was perhaps the least surprising. Despite winning both matches, Wales struggled at the scrum against England and Fiji. Australia's eight had no such problems as they outmuscled England. "Paul James has had a calf strain so he needed to play. We needed to give him some time," said Gatland. "Given Gethin Jenkins' history in the past, with three or four games in a row he has broken down so we wanted to make sure we kept him fit and fresh potentially for a quarter-final. "It's great Samson is back from that injury. He's that typical old-fashioned northern hemisphere tight-head. He's pretty squat and built like the proverbial brick out-house. "I think with the amount of work we've done there we're confident it will go well." Gatland said blind-side specialist Dan Lydiate was being rested to protect a sore eye though "he would have played if it was a final." His absence sees Wales pairing two specialist open-side flankers in Tipuric and Warburton, with Taulupe Faletau continuing at number eight. Media playback is not supported on this device Even without the suspended Michael Hooper, Gatland knows Australia will present a formidable challenge at the breakdown. "Justin Tipuric deserves an opportunity because he's been absolutely outstanding in the warm-up games," added Gatland. "It just gives us options. The balance we've had with Sam at open-side and Dan and Taulupe that's outstanding as well. "It's horses for courses and probably the way the Australians with [David] Pocock - I know Hooper's out - but it's matching them at the breakdown." Anscombe was in Gatland's extended squad for the tournament before injuring an ankle in training and missed out on selection. Injuries to Scott Williams and Hallam Amos opened the door for the former Chiefs player to return, and he gets the nod ahead of James Hook and Morgan, who was full-back against Fiji. "Matthew Morgan got a knock last week and wasn't able to do full contact until later in the week," said Gatland. "Gareth has played a lot at full-back- I think two years ago he played the Super Rugby final for the Chiefs at full-back. He's experienced and has the pedigree there. "It was a chance to put Liam [Williams] back on the wing and a chance to shift George [North] into the centre. "I like the mix of the backline." North was at centre when Wales last met Australia in November, and in 2011 said he felt North's long term future was in midfield, not on the wing. Answer:

input: Article: Scottish SPCA staff were called after staff found the 18in long reptile under seats on a flight that had arrived from Cancun, Mexico, on Tuesday. They used a box to contain the snake, which is believed to be a juvenile Middle American smooth-scaled racer. The snake was taken to the charity's animal rescue centre in Cardonald, Glasgow, where staff have named it Furtivo - Spanish for sneaky. Scottish SPCA senior inspector Billy Linton said: "We have had the snake examined by a vet and, although we can't be 100% certain, we believe he is of the Dryadophis family, which are commonly referred to as American smooth-scaled racers. "Racers aren't venomous but, like all snakes, they can bite and Furtivo is very feisty. "Although small at the moment, he is still a juvenile and has a lot of growing to do." Inspector Linton said staff at Glasgow Airport had "remained remarkably calm" after finding the snake. "I can only imagine that Furtivo managed to sneak his way onto the plane while it was waiting to take off in Cancun, although it is also possible he has hitched a lift in someone's hand luggage," he said. "We have rescued several exotic creatures from international flights including scorpions, spiders, turtles and even giant land snails, so this isn't as unusual as many people might think. "Furtivo will remain in our care until we can find him an expert home with someone who has the necessary experience and knowledge to be able to look after such a creature." Summarize. output: An animal charity has rescued a snake on a plane at Glasgow Airport. input: Article: The headquarters of South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils in Crowmarsh Gifford were gutted on 15 January last year. About 400 staff have been working from home or at temporary sites ever since. Now, exactly one year on, the councils have confirmed they are looking for a new building on a new site. Andrew Main, 47, from Rokemarsh, admitted starting the fire and has been detained in a mental health unit. A spokesperson for both councils said: "Whilst no formal decisions have been made, it's likely we won't be returning to Crowmarsh. "We're focusing on finding a new building on a new site that's fit for purpose and gives the best value for money for our council tax payers. "We're actively looking at the options for our permanent home and we hope to have a final decision in the next few months." Both councils are temporarily based at Milton Park in Abingdon after signing a four-year lease. The estimated cost to the councils of repairing the damage to their offices was put at about £20m. Summarize. output: Two councils forced to move after their offices were devastated by a rampaging arsonist will probably never return to their former home, a spokesperson said. input: Article: Tags and slogans associated with Bristol City were found early on Thursday morning on the gates, which act as a war memorial for rugby players who lost their lives in World War I. The Horfield stadium is used both by City's rivals Bristol Rovers and by Bristol Rugby. Officials from both football clubs have condemned the attack and City fans are raising funds for a clean-up. Kirsty Pugh, Bristol Rovers' press officer, said: "We were all very shocked and disgusted this morning. "Graffiti of that style is bad enough but then to desecrate a war memorial, it oversteps the mark." Colin Sexstone, chief executive of Bristol City football club, said: "I am sure all Bristol City fans will join me in condemning this senseless act of vandalism, which tarnishes the memory of those who laid their lives down for this country." Fans of both clubs have used online forums to slam the graffiti and Bristol City Supporters Club have set up a fund to pay for it to be cleaned up. Summarize. output: Graffiti has been sprayed onto gates of the Memorial stadium in Bristol. input: Article: Neil Clark, 86, was arrested after the body of his wife, Francine, 70, was discovered at their house in Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire, on 11 June 2014. He was remanded in custody and died in hospital after falling ill at Low Moss jail, in Bishopbriggs, on 15 July. The inquiry found his death from heart failure was sudden but not unexpected. The FAI, before Sheriff Linda Ruxton at Glasgow Sheriff Court, was mandatory as Mr Clark died in prison. The inquiry heard that a post-mortem examination showed he died of an enlarged heart caused by heart disease. The hearing was told Mr Clark had appeared on petition at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on 12 June 2014 for allegedly murdering his wife Francine the previous day. He made no plea or declaration and was taken into custody at Low Moss prison. On 18 June he was found unresponsive in his cell and admitted to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. While being treated there, Mr Clark made it clear that if the situation arose, he did not wish to be resuscitated. Dr Adam Bowman, the acting clinical director who was in charge of Mr Clark's care, said there was "very little engagement" with staff. The doctor also confirmed that Mr Clark had a "significant past medical history". Mr Clark, who had heart failure, was diagnosed with end-stage heart failure after being taken into hospital. Dr Bowman said although the pensioner was not in the catchment area for the Royal Infirmary he had previously had "extensive contact" with the Western Infirmary with medical problems. It was heard that latterly Mr Clark took more medication and pain relief, and that there were discussions about him returning to Low Moss prison. After lunch on 15 July, he collapsed on the toilet while being assisted by two members of staff. He was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. Dr Bowman told the court that Mr Clark's condition was "very unpredictable". Mr Clark was arrested after the body of his wife was discovered at their house in Bearsden. He did not appeared at any subsequent court hearings because of his health. Sheriff Linda Ruxton made a formal finding. She said Mr Clark's death was "sudden but by no means unexpected". The sheriff added: "There are no matters of public concern connected with Mr Clark's death." Summarize. output:
A man who died while awaiting trial for the murder of his wife was suffering from heart disease, a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) has heard.

Problem: Write an article based on this "John Higgins secured a 10-7 lead over defending champion Mark Selby on day one of the World Championship final at the Crucible Theatre." Article: A: Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland's four-time champion made a superb 141 clearance - the joint-highest break in a world final - on his way to taking a commanding 10-4 lead. World number one Selby finally found his form and breaks of 121 and 81 helped him win the last three frames. The best-of-35 final resumes on Monday at 14:00 BST and is live on BBC Two. The 41-year-old Higgins, who beat Selby in the 2007 final, is aiming to become the oldest winner since 45-year-old Welshman Ray Reardon triumphed in 1978. Two-time champion Selby, 33, is bidding to become only the fourth player - after Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan - to win consecutive world titles in the modern era. The two players had contrasting semi-final victories as Selby edged through with a thrilling 17-15 victory over Ding Junhui, while Higgins enjoyed a comfortable 17-8 win over Barry Hawkins. There were expectations beforehand that the match would be a battle between two players who specialise in tenacious, matchplay snooker, but it featured nine breaks over 50, plus two centuries. Despite opening the final with breaks of 76 and 62, Selby looked weary following his semi-final exertions, missing straightforward pots when presented with opportunities in the reds. A missed red in the seventh frame will have been of particular concern, as the Englishman was 54-1 ahead but instead allowed Higgins to clear up with a composed break of 58. Higgins claimed five frames in a row, knocking in contributions of 63, 95 and 58, as well as his superb 141 ,which equalled O'Sullivan's effort in 2012 as the best break recorded in a World Championship final. Media playback is not supported on this device Selby looked to be on his way to a crushing first-day deficit, but in typical fashion managed to fight back to stay in the contest. He had runs of 86 and 81 in the second session, but Higgins took a tactical exchange to go five frames ahead. However, he did miss a pink to the middle pocket with the reds open, as Selby responded to obtain some much-needed joy. Higgins guaranteed himself an overnight lead by pinching the 13th and followed up with 76 to further extend his advantage. But Selby somehow produced a late revival to keep himself in touch. Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry on BBC Two For the next few hours John will be very disappointed because he's so experienced and knows frames can make a difference come tomorrow night. Once he's got over that initial disappointment, 10-7 is a nice lead to have. Six-time world champion Steve Davis on BBC Two There will be loads of adrenaline pumping for both players, each for different reasons. It's been a fascinating second session. I think by the end of the night they'll have cleared their minds of all of that. It was just an astonishing standard by the world champion and world number one in those final three frames. He's superb. You'd expect it, but for a minute there it didn't look like it was going to happen because John Higgins had him on the ropes. Mark Selby (Eng) 7-10 John Higgins (Sco) First session: 76-34 (76), 7-50, 121-8 (62, 58), 0-141 (141), 40-99 (63), 1-126 (95), 54-59 (58), 33-68 6-2 Higgins Second session: 86-0 (86), 8-60, 44-74, 69-22, 1-68, 0-76 (76), 81-9 (81), 121-12 (121), 96-17 10-7 Higgins Highest break so far: Higgins 141; Selby 121 Problem: Write an article based on this "Wales goal-shooter Chelsea Lewis and defender Nia Jones have been added to the Celtic Flames side for the International Super Cup competition."

Problem: Write an article based on this "Defending champion Novak Djokovic saw off seven-time champion Roger Federer in four sets to win his third Wimbledon and ninth Grand Slam title." Article: A:
Media playback is not supported on this device The Serb, 28, won 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (10-12) 6-4 6-3 to overtake the likes of Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Ivan Lendl in the all-time list of major winners. Federer, 33, had hoped to become the first man to win Wimbledon eight times. The Swiss won a thrilling second set tie-break but Djokovic came through to win in two hours and 56 minutes. "I have to say it's a big challenge playing against Roger," he said. "A lot of players of my generation have looked up to him and followed his lead. "He makes you push your limits, work hard and win every single point." Federer said: "I had my chances in the first set. I got lucky to win the second, had chances in the third. "But he was better on the bigger points. He was rock solid, I didn't play badly myself. That's how it goes." Media playback is not supported on this device Djokovic adds a third victory at the All England Club to one US Open and five Australian Open titles, and the Serb has now won 48 matches and lost just three in 2015. The world number one's most recent defeat came against Stan Wawrinka in last month's French Open final, but five weeks later he has gone some way to making up for missing out on the one major title to still elude him. Federer had given his supporters real hope that he could overturn last year's final defeat by Djokovic after his stunning serving performance in the semi-final win over Andy Murray. It was Djokovic who came up with the big serves when it mattered, however, saving six of seven break points, two of them on set points in the opening set. After Federer failed to consolidate an early break his first serve deserted him in the tie-break and Djokovic took advantage, moving into a 6-1 lead before the Swiss double-faulted to hand it over. The Serb won 14 of 15 points and then fended off two more break points in game five with his forehand as Federer continued to play catch-up. When Djokovic worked his way to a set point for a two-set lead, he appeared to be closing in on victory, but the top seed sent a forehand long and a breathtaking half hour of tennis followed. Three gripping games of cut and thrust heralded another tie-break, and the 15,000 spectators on Centre Court could barely contain themselves as Djokovic saw a 6-3 lead slip away after a stunning Federer backhand. Djokovic became increasingly animated as the set points came and went, a seventh when he missed a regulation rally ball, and the crowd erupted when Federer converted his second at the net. Amid the cheering in the stands, the top seed smacked his racquet angrily into his foot and shook his head in disbelief as he returned to his chair. It was apparently enough to clear his head and, far from suffering a crisis in confidence, the defending champion would dominate the remainder of the match. He pushed hard for a break at the start of the third, missing two break points in game one before Federer netted under pressure in game three. Media playback is not supported on this device A rain delay might have disrupted the Serb's rhythm but the shower passed within 15 minutes, with no need for the roof to be brought over, and Djokovic saw out the set comfortably on the resumption. Now constantly threatening the Federer serve, a sharp return to the 17-time Grand Slam champion's feet gave Djokovic the crucial breakthrough for 3-2 in the fourth. There were tense moments for the champion when he had to recover from 0-30 at 4-3, seemingly angered by someone in the crowd, and he roared in their direction after holding serve. The altercation merely fired up Djokovic even more and he won six straight points on his way to match point, before firing a forehand into the corner and flinging his arms in the air in celebration. Djokovic then repeated his tradition of previous victories by eating some of the famous Centre Court's grass, while coach Boris Becker and his team celebrated in the stands. "It tasted very, very good this year," said Djokovic. "I don't know what the grounds people have done but they've done a good job. It's a little tradition."

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Norwegian authorities have allowed flights to resume if new safety conditions are met. A crash involving the helicopter off the coast of Norway killed 13 people, including Iain Stewart from Aberdeenshire, in April 2016. The worker said he could not tell his family if he had to fly in one again. The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "When you go on everyone tries to go to sleep, so if something happens you are not going to know about it. "You can't tell your kids that you're flying in a 225 because they worry and the last thing you want to do is to worry them when you're away" The Super Puma 225 and L2 type helicopters were grounded following the fatal crash off Norway last year. Offshore firms are yet to confirm whether they would use the aircraft again. Unite union said that it would be inappropriate to lift any ban before the root cause of the 2016 accident is known. The union's regional organiser in Aberdeen, Tommy Campbell, said Unite is "very disappointed and very angry" that the decision has been made before questions have been answered concerning last year's crash. The CAA said that helicopters would not begin flying immediately and that a plan of checks, modifications and inspections will be undertaken before any flights take place. These include: CAA head of airworthiness John McColl said: "This is not a decision we have taken lightly. It has only been made after receiving extensive information from the Norwegian accident investigators and being satisfied with the subsequent changes introduced by Airbus Helicopters through detailed assessment and analysis."

Q: Bright, a former army major who is still commonly addressed in football circles by his military rank, was previously national team coach on three separate occasions He coached the Zebras for two matches in 1997 and again for a single game in 1999. In 2000 he took over from the German Joachen Figge but left the post a year later. The 61-year-old won three league titles in Botswana with unfancied Mogoditshane Fighters from 1999 to 2001 and worked in neighbouring South Africa, including 18 months in the top flight with Cape Town club Santos from 2007 to 2009. Bright was unveiled at a news conference on Monday less than a week before the team host South Africa in their opening African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier in Francistown on Saturday. Butler did not have his contract renewed last month and Botswana appointed his assistant Oris Radipotsane as interim coach for the Cosafa Cup last week, where the Zebras lost to both Zambia and South Africa. Bright will have his own assistant, Sthandwa Mogwadi with Thabo Motang as the goalkeeper coach. "Major Bright will be on a three year contract," said a statement from the Botswana Football Association. "Bright brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the local game and in the international game. "Coach Bright has won League titles and cups in in the Botswana League and has a vast knowledge of local players," the statement said. A: David Bright is returning to take over the helm of the Botswana national team, signing a three year contract on Monday to replace Englishman Peter Butler, who is now coaching at South Africa club Platinum Stars, just over the border. Q: The deal had been delayed by several months over concerns that the port could be used by the Chinese military. The government has given assurances that China will run only commercial operations from the port, on the main shipping route between Asia and Europe. Sri Lanka's government says money from the deal will help repay foreign loans. Under the proposal, a state-run Chinese company will have a 99-year lease on the port and about 15,000 acres nearby for an industrial zone. The plan envisages the eviction of thousands of villagers but the government says they will be given new land. China has pumped millions of dollars into Sri Lanka's infrastructure since the end of a 26-year civil war in 2009. Hambantota port, overlooking the Indian Ocean, is expected to play a key role in China's Belt and Road initiative, otherwise known as the new Silk Road, which will link ports and roads between China and Europe. The initiative is being keenly watched by regional trade rivals including India and Japan. Opponents of the project said they feared the area being turned into a Chinese colony. There were also concerns that the Chinese navy could use the port as a base. In a move to ease those concerns, the Sri Lankan government announced a revised deal to cut the Chinese firm's stake to 70%. Officials also made assurances that the port would not be used by the Chinese military. "We are giving the country a better deal without any implications on security," Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told reporters on Friday. He said the deal would help Sri Lanka manage its foreign debt. The BBC's Azzam Ameen in Colombo says that the signing took place at the Sri Lanka Port Authority premises in the capital. The deal was inked at 10:43 (05:13 GMT) - considered an auspicious time. A: Sri Lanka has signed a $1.1bn (£837m) deal with China for the control and development of the southern deep-sea port of Hambantota. Q: The deficit was 53.4bn yen ($440m; £283m) - lower than 825.5bn yen a year ago, and below expectations of 318.9bn yen. There was a surplus in March. Exports in the world's third largest economy rose 8% from a year ago - up for the eighth month - but imports fell by 4.2%, well above the 1.5% forecast. The Nikkei was up 0.7% to 20,413.77. That marks the seventh consecutive rise for the benchmark index, which is on its longest winning streak since December. It has gained 4.3% in the period. Investors were expecting the deficit, but sentiment was boosted by the fact that the shortfall was much lower than anticipated. Shares of Japan Tobacco were up 1.1% after local reports that Suntory Beverage & Food would buy its beverage vending machine business for 150bn yen. The firm had announced in February that it was getting out of the beverage industry. Chinese shares hit another seven-year high with the Shanghai Composite up 2.4% to 4,768.98 - leading the region's gains. Infrastructure and transport stocks boosted the benchmark index after Beijing said it was seeking private funding for over $300bn (£193bn) worth of public projects. The Hong Kong market was closed for a public holiday. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 ended higher by 1% to 5,721.5. Shares of miner Sirius Resources jumped more than 21% after fellow miner Independence Group launched a $1.4bn bid to take it over and create a diverse base metals and gold mining group. Meanwhile, markets in South Korea were closed for Buddha's birthday holiday. A: Japan's shares closed at a 15-year high after data showed the country's trade account fell into a deficit in April, but was still better than expected. Q: Tom and Julia Ebenezer found the black Citroen and a cactus outside their house in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion. A note asked them to look after the vehicle and plant, adding "I will bring present from China". Ms Ebenezer told BBC Radio Wales they could not move the car as he had not left the keys. She told the Eleri Sion programme the car had been on their drive for three weeks and due to concerns about safety, Dyfed-Powys Police and Ceredigion council had been out. Other neighbours are now concerned more students could try to park on their drives in order to avoid being fined by parking on roads for weeks on end. "He's parked over our man hole, which could be quite serious," Ms Ebenezer said. "The other issue is that if someone did something to the car and it went on fire, the vehicle is on private property and the police cannot do anything about it." Ms Ebenezer said she was "flabbergasted" when she spotted the car and the cactus as they had only spoken to the student briefly a few times. "It is quite a nice note, obviously thanking us, and he's going to bring us a present back from China," she said. "He telephoned yesterday full of apologies, and would I please please accept his apologies, he's heartbroken in China of what he's done. "Ok he's done wrong, I've accepted his apologies, but the main concern is to get the message out to the community what can happen to them." A:

It involved a year of planning and an overnight drive using special vehicles with tanks. Aquarium staff are hoping to get the sharks to breed, to help boost declining numbers of the species. Black tipped reef sharks are naturally found in shallow waters in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Their fins are black at the ends, which gives them their name! What was that article about? A: Six black tipped reef sharks have been moved to a new aquarium - and it was no easy task! Problem: The move brings the 65,000-tonne future flagship of the Royal Navy closer to becoming an operational warship. The first of the ship's four generators was officially started by defence procurement minister Philip Dunne. The warship is due to be handed over to the Ministry of Defence in 2016 ahead of being put into service in 2020. Work is already under way on a second aircraft carrier, HMS Prince Of Wales. Both warships are being built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, a partnership between BAE Systems, Thales UK, Babcock and the Ministry of Defence. HMS Queen Elizabeth's diesel generator sets will provide sufficient electrical power to drive the ship at cruise speeds. However, when higher speed is required, two gas turbine alternators will also be used. Together they will produce 109MW of power - enough to power a medium-sized town. Mr Dunne said: "It is a real pleasure to be back in Scotland, home of the UK's shipbuilding industry, to witness the impressive progress that is being made on our new aircraft carriers. "Powering up the diesel generator today marks an important milestone on the journey to bring these highly versatile ships into service with our Armed Forces." What was that article about? A: HMS Queen Elizabeth's huge diesel generators have been powered up for the first time at the home of the UK's aircraft carrier programme in Rosyth. Problem: It has been lifted on to a huge purpose-built ship which will transport it to England to be scrapped. Shell wants to leave the legs in place. The 24,000 tonne Brent Delta platform topsides sat on a three-legged gravity-based structure in 140 metres of water. The platform lies 115 miles north east of Shetland. It is one of four which is due to be removed from the field in the coming years. Unusually for a platform, the legs of Brent Delta are made of concrete which makes it much more difficult to decommission than one with steel legs. Allseas, the company which operates the decommissioning vessel Pioneering Spirit, said it had set a world lifting record with the removal of the platform. The topsides have now been sea-fastened on board the vessel for transportation to Teesside. Brent Delta was one of the first platforms to be built in the very early days of Britain's oil and gas industry. It sits about 115 miles (185km) north-east of Shetland in a cluster of four platforms which make up the Brent field. Its sister, Brent Bravo, produced its first oil in 1976. At its peak, in 1982, the four platforms were producing more than half a million barrels of oil a day. Being one of the first, it's now at the end of its life and has to be removed. Brent Delta is the first major piece of infrastructure to be decommissioned in the North Sea. More than 100 platforms are forecast to be completely or partially removed over the next decade in the waters of the UK and Norway. What was that article about? A:
The first major decommissioning project in the North Sea has been completed with the removal of the Brent Delta platform from its legs.

Text: Luton Town, who became the first non-league side to knock out a top-flight team since 1989 when they beat Norwich 1-0, will play Millwall at home. League One side MK Dons earned a home tie against Barnsley as reward for their win over QPR. And Leeds, who shocked Tottenham, must travel to Manchester City next. Manchester United will host Reading and holders Chelsea, who were held by their west London neighbours Brentford on Sunday, face a trip to Middlesbrough if they win their replay. Arsenal, who have not won a trophy since 2005, will play Blackburn at the Emirates Stadium for a place in the quarter-finals, while Wigan must travel to Huddersfield. The ties will take place on the weekend of 16 and 17 February. FA Cup fifth round draw in full: Huddersfield v Wigan Athletic MK Dons v Barnsley Oldham v Everton Luton v Millwall Arsenal v Blackburn Manchester City v Leeds Manchester United v Reading Middlesbrough v Chelsea or Brentford summary: Giant-killers Oldham will host Everton in the pick of the ties in the FA Cup fifth round after their shock victory over Liverpool in round four. Text: The Commons Work and Pensions Committee said the changes worked well in some areas, but there was a wide variation. Its report urged better co-ordination between central and local government. The government said it was right to let councils distribute the Department of Work and Pensions cash because they understand local needs better. But the Local Government Association said significant reductions in funding meant that making crisis payments for some councils was likely to be "a stretch too far". Until April 2013, central government distributed discretionary emergency loans and grants to cover food, heating, clothing and other essentials. The responsibility has now shifted to local authorities. The MPs on the committee said they were not suggesting councils should be stripped of their new powers, but want to see them given more robust guidance by ministers to ensure that disabled people in particular do not lose out. Its report also expressed concern that people hit by "unintended effects" of national welfare reforms, such as the new limits on housing benefit claims, were being left without a long-established state "safety net". Councils including Blackpool, Croydon and Milton Keynes were given "great credit" by the MPs for their initiatives to help residents. But the committee said: "Localisation risks blurring the lines of national and local responsibility, leading to confusion among vulnerable people about where to turn in a financial crisis. "Closer joint-working and sharing of national and local data must be prioritised." In a separate report, the spending watchdog, the National Audit Office, suggested that the future of local welfare provision is uncertain. It found councils had "acted cautiously" in providing support because they were concerned about high demand and funding levels. A DWP spokesman said the government's welfare reforms were designed to restore "fairness" to the system and they were working closely with local authorities, charities and landlords to ensure people received support. Councillor Claire Kober, from the Local Government Association, said the variation in support across the country was driven by shortfalls faced by many councils. "Without additional funding, there is a real risk that many will be unable to afford to continue to run their local welfare schemes or will have to scale them back significantly," she said. summary: Putting councils in charge of emergency welfare payments to hard-pressed families in England has led to concerns of a "postcode lottery", MPs have said. Text: Kenyan farmers have started feeding their own meals to their livestock to save them from a drought which has affected as much as half the country. summary:

Question: Article:Totti, 40, will retire at the end of the season after scoring 307 goals in 783 games since his debut in 1993. Totti was denied a farewell appearance at the San Siro when Spalletti, who rejoined Roma last year, did not bring him on in a 4-1 win against AC Milan. "I must manage Totti the footballer," said Spalletti after criticism. Second-placed Roma were leading 3-1 against Milan when Spalletti decided to bring on Brazilian defender Bruno Peres - his third and final substitution - for the final five minutes. And questions about why Totti was not introduced left Spalletti clearly irritated in his post-match news conference. "If I could go back in time, I would never have come to coach Roma," said the 58-year-old, who also managed the Giallorossi between 2005 and 2009. "When I bring him on for the last five minutes you say I'm making a fool of him and I lack respect. Let's take the time to agree on what I should do. "When I took over, I said that it's not for me to manage Totti's legacy. "Next time, we'll form a co-operative. We'll have a collective vote and the ones who get the most votes will play." Totti has made 15 Serie A appearances for Roma this season, but has only made one start with the other 14 coming from the bench. The Giallorossi have three matches left this season, with the final game of the season - at home to Genoa on 28 May - set to be Totti's farewell. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: Luciano Spalletti says he would not have returned to coach Roma had he known he would be constantly quizzed about Francesco Totti's playing time. Question: Article:Mr Farry accused the SDLP of "gesture" politics after it sought to amend a motion by the Finance Minister. Mr Wilson's supply resolutions would give the Executive the legal authority to unlock billions of pounds in the block grant. But the SDLP is seeking to amend the motion. Mr Farry said the only "honest and coherent" approach for the SDLP is to leave the Executive. The SDLP amendment seeks to divert more than £20m from various departments in a bid to cut travel overheads and consultancy fees. The party has yet to support the draft budget. The SDLP's Alban Maginness challenged Mr Farry on his own party's stance. He pointed out that the Alliance leader and Justice Minister, David Ford, had supported a budget which Mr Farry described as "full of holes". Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: Alliance MLA Stephen Farry has challenged the SDLP to quit the Executive if it cannot support the draft budget. Question: Article:Mayor Marvin Rees said the planned opening date is now delayed until 2020. The 12,000-seat venue near Temple Meads was originally due to have been finished by late 2017. A delay until 2019 was announced last year. Mr Rees said he is "committed" to getting the arena built and "it remains closer than it has ever been". Bristol City Council said it had been working with its preferred construction firm Bouygues UK to agree the final package of works and a target cost. The cost of the project has been estimated at £92.5m, however the two sides have been unable to agree on price and will not be progressing to full contract. The authority said it is now actively exploring other options to construct the arena "as quickly as possible". Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Bristol's long-awaited arena has suffered another setback after the local authority failed to agree on the cost of the project with developers.

Article: Sinn Féin and Alliance have previously questioned James Brokenshire's impartiality as a talks chair. They pointed to a newspaper article in which he expressed his concern about the focus of legacy investigations. Mr Brokenshire suggested inquiries into killings were "disproportionately" focused on the police and the army. However, Mr Nesbitt told the BBC's Inside Politics programme that the Stormont Assembly had "tried international chairs in the past with no success". The Ulster Unionist leader said that as Northern Ireland was part of the UK and he expected any further negotiations to be chaired by its secretary of state. On the issue of legacy, Mr Nesbitt favours the reinstatement of the disbanded PSNI Historical Enquiries Team. He does not agree with introducing a statute of limitations to prevent soldiers being prosecuted in relation to troubles incidents - a policy favoured by the DUP. The Ulster Unionist leader said that if someone has broken the law, they should be made accountable. However, he argued that "75-year-old military veterans should not be treated punitively but shown compassion, mercy and balance". Mr Nesbitt told Inside Politics that he does not support the introduction of an Irish language act. He described Irish as a "beautiful language" and insisted he bore no ill will towards anyone who wanted to learn speak or celebrate Irish. He said he regarded recent comments from DUP leader Arlene Foster on the Irish language as "intemperate". But he said he was not persuaded of the need for legislation and pointed to the provisions already made for an Irish language strategy, adding that other issues, such as tackling poverty, should have a higher priority. The DUP has claimed the Ulster Unionists are not running enough candidates to be the biggest party in a future assembly. However, Mr Nesbitt said he was running to be in government, not in opposition, and claimed that he had "crunched the numbers" and was running just enough candidates, at 24, to be the lead party. The Ulster Unionist leader said he enjoyed a good chemistry with SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, despite their differences on issues like future joint British Irish authority over Northern Ireland. Asked if Ulster Unionist voters should give their second preferences to the SDLP or other unionists, Mr Nesbitt would only say they should vote for any candidate they trust to do the right thing for their community, constituency and country. ++++++++++ Summarize: Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt expects the secretary of state to chair any all-party talks which are held after next month's assembly election. Article: The campaign to keep Sgt David Evans and police dog Ivy together received support from people across the world. But West Mercia Police chief constable Anthony Bangham said it was "in the best interests of the dog and the force that this request is not met". Mr Evans' daughter Jennie said she would not give up the fight. More on this and other Shropshire stories The family, from Market Drayton, Shropshire, launched a petition saying the officer was "heartbroken" at the prospect of not being able to keep Ivy when he stepped down after 34 years' service. Ivy, a Malinois cross German Shepherd, is four years old. Police dogs normally retire at about eight. Sgt Evans, of Market Drayton, had offered to buy Ivy and cover the cost of replacing her. In a statement, Mr Bangham said he had met Mr Evans to explain the decision. "We appreciate that all our handlers form close relationships with the dogs they work with and, understandably, many want to continue that relationship when they retire," he said. "Sometimes at the end of the dog's working life we are able to facilitate this but we always have to consider the needs of the dog and the force at the time, and to meet our obligation to spend public funds wisely and ensure best value from all our resources. "Although the dogs live with their handlers and have close relationships with them, they are not family pets. They belong to the force and are highly valued resources. "Ivy is very young and has many years service ahead of her. She will therefore stay with the force and be re-handled with another officer." Mr Evans' daughter wrote on Facebook: "We, as a family are utterly devastated at this news and also in complete and utter shock that this is the decision West Mercia have decided is best for Ivy. "I am not ready to leave this fight and I will be looking into other options to try and change this outcome." ++++++++++ Summarize:
A police dog will not be allowed to retire with her handler despite a petition of more than 35,000 signatures.

Question: Article:The 33-year-old was England's top scorer in their defeat down under, with 294 runs at an average of 29. Pietersen added on Twitter: "Very disappointed to lose 5-0 and not to score more runs personally. Tough tour against a top-class team." But former skipper Michael Vaughan fears England may make Pietersen "a scapegoat" for the Ashes whitewash. Media playback is not supported on this device Vaughan, who captained England to victory in the 2005 Ashes, told the BBC: "I'd be getting him more involved - make him vice-captain. "But my fear is that England will make him the scapegoat and feel the only way they can move forward is without Kevin Pietersen. "They have to be very careful. This isn't football. You can't just go out and buy a world-class number four batsman." Pietersen's Test future has been questioned by pundits, including former England captain Geoffrey Boycott, who criticised the South African-born player during the third-Test defeat in Perth. "When it comes to batting with patience and concentration against disciplined bowling, he just can't do it," said Boycott, who scored 8,114 runs in 108 Tests. "He bottles it." But Vaughan, 39, believes it would be a mistake if England dropped Pietersen, who has made 104 Test appearances. He told BBC Radio 5 live: "My fear is they are going to make the big change and get rid of Kevin Pietersen. I think that would be completely the wrong approach. "I would be getting Pietersen in closer to the management. I'd have him near that think-tank." Vaughan believes the "maverick" batsman can offer an alternative perspective to that of key decision-makers like captain Alastair Cook, coach Andy Flower and batting coach Graham Gooch. Pietersen was England's leading run scorer with 294 at an average of 29.40. Here are his scores in the five Tests: He added: "At the moment, there are too many people making decisions that are too similar. "That's why I would go with the maverick Pietersen next to them. Someone completely at the other end of the spectrum. Pietersen would bring a different dimension and then you meet halfway. "If you just go with the same thing all the time, the same voices and same approach, eventually you get found out." Pietersen fell well below his Test batting average of 47 down under and was criticised for his risk-taking approach. Before the series, he said he wanted to continue playing for England until at least the 2015-16 tour of his native South Africa. "As long as the body goes well, I'm good for it," said Pietersen, who made his international debut in 2004. Flower, meanwhile, said he "can't be any clearer" about his desire to continue as coach despite the chastening defeat. While Vaughan, who played in 82 Tests, believes he is the "right man going forward", he says the former Zimbabwe wicketkeeper has much to answer for. He added: "There has not been enough pointed at Andy Flower. He has got away with it and is the common denominator in this. He has to answer all the questions. He says he saw this coming, so why didn't he do something about it?" Vaughan said England are "not a great team to watch", adding: "They are a boring bunch. They are a bunch of clones. "You ask them a question and you know exactly what they are going to say. We are in an entertainment business. We need to see characters." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: England batsman Kevin Pietersen is "determined to help regain the Ashes" when Australia visit in 2015. Question: Article:Alex Keenan, 37, was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome in June and his twin sister said his condition has "deteriorated at a frightening rate". Leanne Moore said: "He is paralysed from the neck down and unable to speak. It is absolutely heartbreaking." The rare condition affects about 1,200 people in the UK each year. Mr Keenan, a former gardener from Port St Mary, was transferred to the Walton Centre's Intensive Care Unit in Liverpool after spending weeks in intensive care in the Isle of Man. Guillain-Barré syndrome sees the body's immune system attack part of the nervous system. He has now been diagnosed with Acute Motor & Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN) - a severe case of the autoimmune disorder. So far about 150 people have donated more than £4,500, which the family said will be used to help finance weekly visits as well as buy equipment. Mrs Moore said: "We are so grateful for this support - we are trying to be with him at least two or three days a week and it will make a massive difference. "Alex is an extremely talented artist and a gifted musician who devours books. "He is very curious about the world and right now all his thoughts are trapped inside his head - he must be so frustrated that he can't communicate with us or hospital staff. "My brother is obscenely intelligent and specialists have stressed the importance of keeping him mentally stimulated. "At the moment we could be looking at years of rehabilitation - that's if he does make any type of a recovery and that's not even certain at the moment." •The exact cause remains unknown • A rare condition of the peripheral nervous system •The key symptom is the rapid onset of muscle weakness •Often leads to the paralysis of the legs, arms, and even the muscles which control breathing •60% of people develop the condition shortly after having a viral or bacterial infection •Most common in adults between 30 and 50 Summarize the main points of that article.

Write an article based on this summary: The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has condemned Russian hackers for leaking confidential medical files of star US Olympic athletes. +++++++ A: Athletes affected include tennis players Venus and Serena Williams and teenage gymnast Simone Biles. A group calling itself "Fancy Bears" claimed responsibility for the hack of a Wada database. After the leak, Ms Biles said she had long been taking medicine for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The hacker group had accused her of taking an "illicit psycho-stimulant", but she said she had "always followed the rules". The Rio Olympics quadruple gold medallist had obtained the necessary permission to take prescription medicine on the Wada banned drugs list, USA Gymnastics said in a statement. Wada said in a statement that the cyber attacks were an attempt to undermine the global anti-doping system. Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was "out of the question" that the Kremlin or secret services were involved in the hacking, Russian news agencies reported. The hackers accessed records detailing "Therapeutic Use Exemptions" (TUEs), which allow the use of banned substances due to athletes' verified medical needs. "By virtue of the TUE, Biles has not broken any drug-testing regulations, including at the Olympic Games in Rio," USA Gymnastics said. Fancy Bears said TUEs amount to "licences for doping". The leaked documents allege that Serena Williams was granted permission to use drugs commonly used to treat muscle injuries, such as anti-inflammatories, while Biles is said to use Ritalin - a treatment for her ADHD. Former - Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority head Richard Ings said: "Nothing I see here gives me cause for alarm," adding it looked "totally normal". "The issue here is privacy breach." Russia's track and field team were banned from the Rio Olympics over an alleged state-backed doping programme. All of its athletes are barred from the ongoing Paralympics. "Let it be known that these criminal acts are greatly compromising the effort by the global anti-doping community to re-establish trust in Russia," Wada director-general Olivier Niggli said. This is the latest twist in what was already the biggest doping scandal in the history of sport, and further evidence of the bitter divisions it has sparked. The hack appears to be an act of revenge - retaliation for Wada's damning report into Russian state-sponsored cheating. Although the Russian government has denied any involvement, it has always maintained that the country has been made a scapegoat for a much wider problem, and this will only add fuel to that fire. Although the athletes concerned have broken no rules, the revelations - along with the threat of more leaks of other competitors' medical records - will inevitably exacerbate the controversy surrounding TUEs at a time when sport's leaders are desperately trying to restore trust. Many athletes will now be nervously wondering if their private medical details records are the next to be made public. And with the future of Wada currently in the balance, the fact its security was so badly compromised will raise more questions over the entire anti-doping system, especially after the account of Russian whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova was hacked last month, leading to fears for her safety. US Anti-Doping Agency chief Travis Tygart called the hack "cowardly and despicable". "In each of the situations, the athlete has done everything right in adhering to the global rules for obtaining permission to use a needed medication," he said. The US Olympic Committee has had "zero adverse findings from the Rio Olympic Games that weren't 100% within the medical guidelines set forth by anti-doping authorities," spokesman Patrick Sandusky said. Earlier this month, Mr Niggli said Wada was experiencing almost daily cyber attacks originating from Russia. Fancy Bears, which is also known as Tsar Team (APT28), has pledged to release confidential records from other national Olympic teams. It's an old adage in cybersecurity that the weakest point of any supposedly secure system is the people that use it. Wada says it believes this hack was made possible thanks to a successful spearphishing attack. Phishing is a term given to the technique of tricking a user into giving up crucial information - often by clicking a link that takes them to a malicious website disguised as a familiar one, such as the log-in page for a bank or social network. Spearphishing takes this one significant step further. While a phishing attack is often aimed at many people in the hope some will fall for it, spearphishing is highly targeted. Hackers perhaps identified a small number of people, or even just one person, and wrote a phishing attack specifically designed to trick them. Other than pushing a message of vigilance among staff, spearphishing is incredibly difficult to defend against. Attackers often scour the internet, looking for added information on the target that might make an email more believable. Sometimes even knowing a person's favourite football team is enough to tip the balance in making a spearphishing email seem genuine. Write an article based on this summary: The cost of redeveloping the Anfield Road end of Liverpool's stadium "is not a smart investment", says chief executive Ian Ayre. +++++++ A:
Liverpool opened the redeveloped Main Stand last month, raising capacity to 54,074, and have planning permission to extend Anfield Road by a further 4,800. But Ayre said: "A stand behind a goal doesn't have the benefit of hospitality that would go a long way to meet the redevelopment costs." The upgrade would cost about £60-70m. Club owner John Henry has previously played down the prospect of the work going ahead on the basis ticket prices would have to rise to cover the cost. Liverpool are worried how fans would react after thousands of protested against plans to charge £77 for some tickets in the club's new Main Stand back in February. The £100m expansion of the Main Stand is expected to be paid off in six years because of the lucrative income generated by hospitality seating - but that is not the case with the Anfield Road end. "From a purely general admission perspective, building, say, 6,000 extra seats to take the capacity up to 60,000 would cost somewhere between £60m and £70m," said Ayre, speaking at a meeting of the Liverpool Supporters' Committee (LSC). "At £12,000 to £13,000 per seat, it would take approximately 15 years to pay back, which is not a smart investment for the business." Ayre told the meeting the club was open to fan investment to help fund further redevelopment of the ground and said conversations should take place.

A court was told Dennis Duffy had returned to the drugs trade following his early release from prison for dealing diazepam. Duffy, 45, also has previous convictions for supplying heroin. The High Court in Edinburgh heard that police acting on a tip-off raided a house in Dundee's Mains Loan on 2 December last year. Officers found Duffy in the living room with £583 in the pocket of his shorts. Various packages containing a total of 311g of heroin were recovered from the house, as well as five mobile phones and sets of scales. Duffy had left a thumb print on a bag containing the largest quantity of heroin found during the search. Duffy admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin. Defence counsel Ronnie Renucci said Duffy was drug free when he last left prison but did not have support at the time. He returned to using heroin and accumulated a drug debt. Mr Renucci said Duffy had allowed the house to be used for storing drugs in return for the debt being written off and to get drugs for his own use. Mr Renucci said: "He recognises now this really is the last chance. "I understand he is going to try and ensure that when he comes out he will receive professional help and guidance." Judge John Morris QC told Duffy: "As you know yourself, this is a vile trade." This article was about:
A Dundee man caught with heroin worth more than £56,000 has been jailed for seven years.

Summarize this article: Each of the winners is deemed to have made an outstanding contributions to his or her community. Sisters Sophia, 25, and Amber, 24, founded the mental health charity the Invictus Trust in 2011. Their 18-year-old brother, Ben, - who was Sophia's twin - had killed himself in a psychiatric unit in Cornwall a year earlier. The sisters felt the facilities and care available to Ben had not supported him properly. Then, after hearing other young people had taken their own lives in the same unit, they decided something had to be done. To date, they have raised more than £100,000. They have also been campaigning for an NHS mental health unit in Cornwall for 18-25 year olds. Mohamad grew up in Syria. His family was forced to flee the country's war when he was just 10 years-old. He was shot in the thigh during an attack on his school. He watched his friends die and pretended he was dead in order to survive. His family eventually moved to England and Mohamad started school life at Leeds City Academy in November 2014. But life still had challenges for the 16 year-old. Mohamed's dad got injured at work and his mother discovered she had cancer. The teenager goes out to do the shopping and looks after his parents at home. In 2015, Molly Comish from Bray, County Wicklow, saw a lot of homeless people sleeping on the streets. She felt compelled to help them. The 18-year-old came up with the idea of "Dignity Packs" - packs of essential personal items, such as toothbrushes, deodorants and warm hats, to distribute before Christmas in 2016. Saving all her tips from her part-time job, Molly was able to create 120 packs, which she put in backpacks. She is now in the process of setting Dignity Packs up as a charity. Aidan, who lives in Widnes, was diagnosed with Aspergers in 2011. In 2014, his close friend, Olivia Alice Walker, who had severe disabilities, died. Olivia's family set up a charity in her memory and Aidan, 14, was inspired to fundraise. In just over two years, he has raised more than £16,000, despite facing his own challenges. Kare Adenegan is no stranger to awards. At the Rio Paralympics in 2016, the 16-year-old won silver and two bronzes, in the 100m, 400m and 800m respectively in the T34 class. Born in Coventry, Kare has cerebral palsy Diplegia, which affects her legs and mobility and means she is confined to a wheelchair. She was inspired to try wheelchair racing after watching the London 2012 paralympic games. At just 18, Harry McCann from Naas in County Kildare is already a tech entrepreneur. He founded his first business, Kid Tech, in 2013. It designs and delivers courses in technology and coding for children aged between seven and 14. Harry has introduced hundreds of children to coding and has developed courses being used in schools today. In 2016, he co-founded a news website for young people - trendsterpress.com, which exceeds 30,000 hits per month. Abbey Booker from Doncaster, South Yorkshire is in care. But at 14 years-old she also dedicates her time to working to ensure other children have the best experience in care they can. She spends her free time volunteering with several schemes, including a befriending service for young people in care. Abbey sits on the Care Counts Youth Council and has helped change the way adult professionals in the care service deal with young people in care like her.
Seven extraordinary young people will be honoured for their achievements at the 10th anniversary of the Rotary Young Citizen Awards in Manchester later.

Summarize this article: The programmes were all shown on BBC World News available outside the UK. Among those found in breach were shows about Malaysia, produced by FBC, a UK firm that had an "apparent financial relationship" with the government. However, the BBC Editorial Standards Committee said none of the programmes breached guidelines on impartiality. Nonetheless, the committee regarded the policy breaches as "serious editorial failings" and said they "risked undermining the editorial integrity of [the BBC's] output". Richard Porter, head of English at BBC Global News, said staff would pay heed to the findings. "We must not damage the audience's trust in what we broadcast," he wrote in a public blog post. "We know we have some hard work to do to make up for this, but we are determined to do so." Meanwhile, broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has confirmed it is launching its own investigation into the programmes. The alarm was initially raised by a freelance journalist last year, who had concerns about a programme called Taking the Credit, broadcast on 23 October 2009. It was an investigation into carbon trading, which had been made by an independent production company, Rockhopper TV, and acquired by BBC World News. Read the Editorial Standards Committee's full report [PDF] The journalist alleged that the programme's funder, the Africa Carbon Livelihood Trust, had a Managing Director who was also the chief executive officer of Envirotrade, a company featured in the programme. In May, the Editorial Standards Committee found the programme to be in breach of BBC guidelines. It said an "inextricable link between the funder organisation and a project featured in the programme" led to a conflict of interest. Furthermore, "the programme portrayed the work of Envirotrade in a positive way" breaching a requirement that sponsor's activities should not be promoted in BBC shows. Rockhopper TV, which was not involved in any of the other incidents, has previously apologised for the error and continues to make programmes for the BBC. However, as a result of this programme, the BBC launched an audit of all documentary or feature programmes broadcast, commissioned or acquired by BBC World between 28 February and 7 August 2011. Shortly afterwards, the Independent newspaper published allegations that the UK-based production company FBC, which had made documentaries on controversial issues in Malaysia - such as the palm oil industry, had received "millions of pounds in payments from the government of Malaysia". The paper alleged FBC had been paid to promote the country's policies globally. The BBC suspended all programming from the company in August, pending a review of their relationship. In total, the committee identified eight shows produced in whole or in part by FBC that could raise conflict of interest issues. It concluded that it "could not be adequately confident" that the relationship between the production company and the Malaysian Government "had not affected the content of BBC output". It added that no one programme had breached guidelines on impartiality, but in certain cases the segments "only just did enough" to comply with BBC policy. The committee was particularly concerned by a statement on FBC's website, which read: "FBC regularly creates one off productions as well as series of documentaries that investigate our clients' issues and subtly position them in a positive space within their target markets". As a result of the internal audit, five further programmes - produced either by One Planet Pictures or TVE - were flagged up for review. Each had received funding from international bodies such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. In one case, funding came from a commercial organisation. Two of these shows, both part of the Nature Inc series produced by One Planet Pictures, were found to be in breach of a prohibition on sponsorship of news and current affairs shows. Others were found to be inappropriate, because they focused on the activities of the sponsors. As a result of the committee's findings, the BBC is to implement new rules, including the following: "International audiences must be able to rely on the same integrity and independence in the BBC's editorial decisions as audiences in the UK," said Richard Ayre, who chaired the meeting of the Editorial Standards Committee. In a statement, a spokesperson for BBC World News said the channel accepted the findings. "We are committed to the highest standards of broadcasting and our editorial independence must always remain protected," the statement read. "We are determined to learn any lessons from this process. That is why we have set out a robust action plan... to tighten our systems and strengthen the protection of our editorial independence." Summary:
The BBC is to impose tougher rules on sponsored programmes broadcast by its commercial channels, after 15 shows were found to have breached guidelines.

The Blue Bird, which was built in 1919, set a record 90 years ago of more than 150mph (241km/h). The car, now kept at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire, was driven at low speed by Sir Malcolm's grandson, Don Wales, at Pendine Sands. It was fired up for the first time in 50 years following a rebuild last year. Sum: The car which set a land speed record for Sir Malcolm Campbell has been brought back to the scene of the triumph in Carmarthenshire. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's just you against the other person on the other side of the net - except from in doubles [which Reid also won at Wimbledon]- and it's up to you to find a way to beat them," said the Scot. Reid and fellow Britons Jordanne Whiley and Lucy Shuker have all benefited from the Tennis Foundation's performance programme. "Since Beijing, when we've had UK Sport funding, we've been able to get a programme that concentrates on our performance to help our players, maximise their potential and compete against the world's best," said Geraint Richards, head of disability player performance. READ MORE: Find out how you can get into tennis with our special guide. Sum: Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles champion Gordon Reid says the thing he loves most about tennis is the "one-on-one battle". Firefighters were called around 23:30 (12:30 GMT) on Wednesday after reports of an explosion. It took them 40 minutes to extinguish the blaze before finding three bodies inside. Local media say the victims are believed to be two men and a woman. The factory was often used as a shelter by homeless people. Arson experts will investigate the cause of the fire, police said. One witness, taxi driver Mohamed Ali, said he had heard screams coming from the factory in Footscray, in the city's west. "A few minutes later I saw the fire engines come," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "For me, it's a horrible situation because we couldn't help. I haven't seen anything like this in my whole life. I'm not feeling good." Prominent Melbourne youth worker Les Twentyman said homeless people often took refuge at the site. "There is a little alcove near the car park - people sleep in that little alcove,'' he told the Herald Sun. "It just shows how desperate they are." The site was originally Victoria's largest ropeworks and operated from 1903 to 2002. After the factory shuttered, the state government backed plans to build a large apartment complex on the site. Sum: Three people have died in a suspicious fire that tore through an abandoned factory in Melbourne, Australia. The international Pisa education rankings, published earlier this month, showed UK 15-year-olds were well behind the leaders when it came to maths, science and reading - but a handful of UK schools bucked the trend. Michael McKenzie, head teacher at Alexandra Park School, says he is "absolutely thrilled" by the results. And the pupils say it is all down to their "fantastic" teachers. Overall, England was ranked 21st, Scotland 31st and Wales 42nd - but 15-year-olds from Alexandra Park, one of 206 schools in England randomly selected to take the tests, put in a storming performance. The average score for Singapore pupils was 535 points, according to Pisa, with pupils in England averaging 500 points. But Alexandra Park pupils who took the tests early last year scored an average of 564 points, according to Pisa data, now published on the school website. The results arrived earlier this month in a spreadsheet attached to an email from the Department for Education. At first Mr McKenzie could not quite believe what he was looking at. "I showed it to a cynical maths teacher because I didn't want to make a fool of myself," he admits. But the maths teacher confirmed that these were indeed outstanding results. "It really was a very pleasant surprise. The kids did remarkably well - but we should never be surprised by young people," says Mr McKenzie. Mr McKenzie says the school's approach to the tests, which took place in the run-up to last year's mock GCSEs, was quite low key "because we didn't want to stress our Year 11s". Benjamin, now 16, says it was all down to the teachers. "They take a lot of time to help students with their work. They take time out after lessons to go through students' work if they are struggling." He admits having struggled a bit during the tests, particularly with the science. "For me to be part of this and be part of one of the best schools in the world is almost an honour really." Nancy, also 16, says the result was "an amazing feeling". "It just shows what a good school we go to. We are so lucky." Alexandra Park opened in 1999 as a community comprehensive in the London borough of Haringey, with the motto Success for All. Mr McKenzie says the school's approach is to "employ high-quality staff and give them the space to do their job. They do it very well". "We have the full range of students here - some very privileged, some with many different needs," he adds. A spokesman for the OECD, which runs the Pisa tests, said "quite a number" of UK schools had managed to perform as well as the average for Singapore but "only a minority" had done better". He added: "And all of them are among the most advantaged schools in the UK in terms of social economic and cultural status of parents." Most of the students who did the school so proud are now in its sixth form. "They came in. They did the tests and we had forgotten about it," says Mr McKenzie. "How nice to be able to celebrate how well they did with them. It's like an early Christmas present." Join the conversation - find us on Facebook Sum:

Write an article based on this summary: Shares in the publisher of the Daily Mail have fallen 8% after falling advertising income hit its half-year profits. +++++++ A: Daily Mail and General Trust also said that the drop in demand for print advertising meant profit margins at its media business would be about 10% this year, down from 13% last year. It reported an 11% fall in profits to £129m for the six months to 31 March. The company owns the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers. The news comes as print media continues to struggle to adapt to ever-increasing competition from online news providers. Earlier this week, the Daily Telegraph's owners announced plans to cut an as-yet-unspecified number of editorial jobs to offset falls in advertising income. Murdoch MacLennan, chief executive of the Telegraph Media Group, said conditions had "continued to markedly deteriorate across the sector" over the past three months, with print advertising down by 20% in April. Revenues at the Mail Online rose £8m from a year earlier, but the company said revenues at the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday fell by £18m. Shares in DMGT were down 8% at 683p in morning trading. Chief executive Martin Morgan said: "DMGT's performance in the first half was broadly in line with our expectations, other than the further deterioration in the UK print advertising market. "The reduced print advertising revenues had an adverse impact on DMG media's operating profits." Mr Morgan added that, aside from the tough conditions in the print advertising market, the group's revenues were "broadly stable". Write an article based on this summary: A County Armagh man has been handed a £2,500 fine and given a suspended sentence for fuel laundering waste offences. +++++++ A: Mr Thomas Moley, 49, of Cullaville Road in Crossmaglen, pleaded guilty to the charges at Newry Magistrates' Court. He was given two three-month sentences, suspended for 18 months. Approximately four tonnes of fuel laundering waste was found alongside a laundering plant during an inspection at premises he owned with his wife. The Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the PSNI carried out the inspection on 15 July 2014, along with HM Revenue and Customs, which removed the majority of the material. But a quantity of mixed controlled waste had also been left there, despite the site having no licence or authorisation to store, keep or treat waste. Mr Moley was ordered to remove the waste from the premises in accordance with legislation, but failed to do so. The judge ordered him to pay costs of £393.60 and his suspended sentences will run concurrently.

The first allegations made relate to pre-employment medicals he carried out between 1999 and 2003. He has been suspended from practising as a doctor. A trial is due to take place in October. The GP was working at the Larksfield Surgery in Stotfold, near Hitchin, when the allegations were first made to police in 2013. He has been suspended. He was released on bail on condition that he does not contact any of the complainants and must not seek employment as a GP.

The crimes took place between 23 December and 7 January in Iver, Chalfont St Peter, Slough and Windsor. Ruben Smith and Wesley Harcourt pleaded guilty to burglary, fraud and robbery and were jailed for nine and a half years and 12 years on Monday. Sarah Belcher was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to burglary. Det Con Katy Lewis of Thames Valley Police said the victims were targeted because of their vulnerability. Their properties were also in remote areas of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. She said all the victims were elderly and some suffered from dementia. "All the victims have been in their homes during the offence with some committed in the middle of the night," she said. "Some of the victims were assaulted or threatened with weapons during the offences, with one of the victims repeatedly punched in the face." The trio stole bank cards, cash, jewellery and a vehicle during the crime spree. They were jailed at Reading Crown Court on Monday. Smith, 33, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, two counts of fraud and one count of robbery, and was jailed for a nine and a half years. Harcourt, 39, of Monksfield Way in Slough, pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery, two counts of burglary and one count of fraud, and was sent to prison for 12 years.

Oil company Exxon Mobil has regained the top slot after Apple shares fell 2.4%, following a 12% drop on Thursday. Apple, which posted disappointing iPhone sales figures on Wednesday, has seen its shares fall 37% since their record high last September. Exxon became number one in 2005, traded places with Apple during 2011, and had been number two since early 2012. At the close on Wall Street, Apple had a market value of $413bn (£261bn), against Exxon's of $418bn. The tech giant has been hit by fears over its future growth, despite record profits. Although the firm said on Wednesday that it had sold more iPhones (47.8 million) and iPads (22.9 million) in the final three months of last year than in any previous quarter, investors and analysts had expected yet more. On Thursday, about $50bn was wiped off Apple's value after the biggest daily drop in the firm's stock in four years. Apple is also facing fierce competition from rivals like Samsung, which accounted for one in four of all mobile phones shipped worldwide last year, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple's share price rose sharply following a revival under Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, which came about first in computers and then the iPod music player, and was then followed by the iPhone and iPad. Apple's shares were worth as little as $3.19 in 1997 when it faced the possibility of bankruptcy, and reached a record $702.1 on 19 September. What is a summary of this text?
Apple has lost its crown as the world's most valuable publicly traded company after its shares continued to fall.

Write an article based on this summary: An Indian court has found an Uber taxi driver guilty of raping a female passenger last year in Delhi. +++++++ A: Shiv Kumar Yadav has also been convicted of criminal intimidation and kidnapping. He had pleaded not guilty. A 26-year-old woman was taken to a secluded area and raped after booking a journey home with Uber in December. Delhi later banned Uber and several other web-based taxi firms, accusing them of failing to carry out adequate driver checks. The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it "must do better". The president of Uber India, Amit Jain, welcomed the verdict. "Sexual assault is a terrible crime and we're pleased he has now been brought to justice. "Safety is a priority for Uber and we've made many improvements - in terms of new technology, enhanced background checks and better 24/7 customer support - as a result of the lessons we learned from this awful case." The woman had also filed a lawsuit against the service in a US court, which was later settled out of court. The issue of sexual assault has been high on the agenda in India since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi in December 2012. The case prompted global outrage and a tightening of laws on sexual violence. Correspondents say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases and a series of high-profile crimes have taken place since then. Last week there was outrage in the capital after two children were raped on the same day. A week earlier, a child was raped and slashed with a sharp object, and found unconscious near a railway track. Write an article based on this summary: The Royal Bank of Scotland has announced the closure of several branches across Scotland. +++++++ A:
They include Brae in Shetland, Edinburgh's Goldenacre and Tollcross, and West Blackhall Street in Greenock. Branches in Invergordon, Lochinver and Lybster in the Highlands and Stromness in Orkney will also shut this year. RBS said it had taken the "difficult decision" to shut the offices and would be offering its customers alternatives ways of using its services. Highland Council and SNP MSP Rob Gibson have expressed concerns about the closures. RBS is the last bank in Invergordon. The bank said there were a number of reasons behind the closures, including falls in the number of transactions taking place in the branches. In a statement, RBS said: "We are writing to all of our customers who use these branches well in advance of the closure date, and will also display posters in the branch throughout this period of time. "We will work hard to engage with all of our customers, local businesses and the wider local community between now and the closure date to ensure they are aware of the alternative ways of accessing their banking with us in the local area, and to answer any questions they might have." It added: "We are committed to following the UK government protocol on branch closures, and we have made the decision following careful consideration of a wide range of factors including branch usage and the alternative ways our customers can bank with us locally." Highland councillors have criticised RBS over the closures, which will take place later this year. Maxine Smith said the closure of Invergordon's last bank was "very concerning". The Cromarty Firth councillor added: "Not everyone has access to online banking and in areas of social deprivation, such as Invergordon, people really need to be able to have physical access to a bank without the cost and inconvenience of travelling to another town." Councillor David Alston said: "This will be a blow to people in Invergordon and is a worrying trend if banks start to withdraw last branches from other towns in the region."

Text: The suspect, clad in black, apparently posed for photos with students ahead of the attack, in the western town of Trollhattan. Two further victims, a pupil and a teacher, are seriously injured. The attacker was shot by police and has died of his injuries. He was 21 and resident in Trollhattan, police said. The king has said Sweden "is in shock". Eyewitnesses described chaos at the school, with hundreds of students fleeing from the building screaming. Police responded to an emergency call reporting an attack in the cafe area of the Kronan school, at around 10:10 local time (08:10 GMT) on Thursday. Arriving at the scene, they found a dead man - a teacher - near the entrance. Two male students and another teacher were rushed to hospital. One of the boys, aged 17, has since died of his injuries. The other pupil, who is 15, and the teacher, a 41-year-old man, are being treated in intensive care for knife injuries. Their condition is described as serious but stable by the hospital. The attacker was also taken to hospital with gunshot wounds and has since died. Police have said several knives were used in the attack. Officers have identified the suspect but not released his name. They have searched the suspect's home and have found "interesting" things, spokesman Thord Haraldsson told a news conference. He was not previously known to police, he said. Asked about possible links to far-right extremism, Mr Haraldsson refused to comment, Swedish radio reports. Local media have reported that the suspect's accounts on Facebook and YouTube suggest an interest in Hitler and Nazi Germany. In a photo given to media by a student at the school, he appears to be wearing a black trench coat and a helmet resembling those worn by German troops in World War Two. Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published an account (in Swedish) of a girl, who they refer to as Sara, who witnessed the attack. The girl left her classroom and met two school friends who stood with a masked man holding a bloody knife, she said. He was playing "horrible, Halloween-type" music and did not speak, she said. Her friends thought it was a joke and wanted to be photographed with the man, so Sara took a photo, Aftonbladet reports. A teacher came out and asked the man what he was doing, the girl said. "You're scaring the children, you can go," the teacher said. The man just nodded then stabbed the teacher in the side with his knife, Sara said. She and her friends ran. The man chased them but they managed to escape. King Carl Gustaf said in a statement that he had learned of the events in Trollhattan "with great dismay and sorrow". Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has arrived in the town, and said it was a "black day for Sweden". "I think of the victims and their families, students and staff, and the whole of the affected community. No words can describe what they are going through right now. We must ensure that they receive all the support they need," he said. Trollhattan is an industrial town in west Sweden, located around 75km (50 miles) north of Gothenburg, the nation's second largest city. School attacks are rare in Sweden - with just one incident on record in the past 20 years, in which one pupil was shot dead. summary: A masked man armed with a sword has killed a pupil and a teacher at a school in Sweden. Text: The 41-year-old Australian left the White Rose county at the end of last season after winning the County Championship title in 2014 and 2015. Kent are looking for a stand-in for ex-South Africa paceman Allan Donald, who agreed to join as assistant coach but does not yet have a UK visa. Ex-player Matt Walker was named the club's new head coach in January. Donald, who played 72 Tests and 164 one-day internationals for the Proteas, is working towards the England & Wales Cricket Board's level three qualification which is required to gain a visa. Kent say it could be "weeks or months" before the 50-year-old is able to join up with the squad, hence the search for a coach to fill the role on an interim basis. Gillespie, who also coaches the Adelaide Strikers in Australia's Big Bash Twenty20 competition, joined Yorkshire in 2011 and led them to promotion to the top flight in 2012. He held talks with England's director of cricket Andrew Strauss in May 2015 over replacing the sacked Peter Moores as national coach, before the role eventually went to fellow Australian Trevor Bayliss. Kent finished second in the Division Two table last season and missed out on promotion, with Jimmy Adams departing as head coach at the end of the campaign after five years in the post. summary: Former Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie is in talks over becoming interim assistant coach of Kent. Text: Media playback is not supported on this device Three of the line-up - James Guy, Duncan Scott and Stephen Milne - helped Team GB secure Olympic silver in 2016 - with Nick Grainger the new addition. Russia took silver ahead of the USA. The latest success follows two gold medals for Adam Peaty (50m and 100m breaststroke) and gold for Ben Proud (50m butterfly) at the championships. The British team had looked out of medal contention during the first two legs of the 4x200m final, but individual finalist Scott helped bring them back into contention. Guy took over on the last leg in second position but quickly powered past his Russian opponent to help the team finish in seven minutes 1.70 seconds, ahead of Russia (7:02.68) and Olympic champions the USA (7:03.18). The 21-year-old enjoyed a hugely successful day, lowering the British 100m butterfly record to 51.16 in the heats and then to 50.67 in the semi-finals - form that makes him a strong medal contender for Saturday's final. There was disappointment however for Ross Murdoch in the men's 200m breaststroke with the Scottish Commonwealth champion finishing fourth - 0.65 seconds behind bronze medallist Ippei Watanabe of Japan. Russian Anton Chupkov took the gold ahead of Japan's Yasuhiro Koseki. "It's hard to finish fourth and to go slower in the final than I did in the semi-final - just like in the 100m," admitted Murdoch. "To be honest though I'm happy to be back swimming in my favourite event and this will give me a lot of confidence going into next year's Commonwealth Games." World short course gold medallist Molly Renshaw finished sixth in the 200m breaststroke final, which was won by Russia's Yulia Efimova. "I'm happy with how I performed because it was always going to be difficult from an outside lane, and I'm back getting close to the form from Rio [Olympics]," she told BBC Sport. Holly Hibbott reached the women's 800m freestyle final, where she will race against Olympic champion Katie Ledecky of the USA.

It comes three weeks after 24-year-old non-league footballer Daniel Wilkinson died during a game. An appeal has been set up in memory of the player to fund heart checks in grassroots football. "Too many people are being lost where we could intervene," said MP Mims Davies, who is calling for widespread cardiac screening for young people. "The majority of young sudden cardiac deaths occur at grassroots or in the community," added Dr Steven Cox, chief executive of the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), which runs screening programmes. The Football Association carries out 1,400 screenings each year - but only at professional clubs. Former Hull City youngster Wilkinson collapsed while playing for Shaw Lane during a Northern Premier League Division One South game at Brighouse Town. It was later found he had Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) - the same condition that forced former Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba to retire in 2012. England Under-21 international Muamba was, according to Bolton's club doctor, "in effect dead" for 78 minutes after collapsing during a match against Tottenham. MP Davies has raised the issue of health screenings in Parliament, and both she and Dr Cox champion screening for all young people after a similar project in Italy saw an 89% drop in cardiac-related fatalities. And while Dr Cox accepted the FA and other governing bodies had "established" screening processes at the highest level, he said "more could be done" for recreational athletes. "Some clubs or schools work with CRY, but this is usually after a tragedy that raises awareness of the threat," he said. "If governing bodies could routinely send out a positive message about the importance of cardiac screening it would have a massive impact and save many young lives." According to CRY's statistics, 12 people under the age of 35 die from an undiagnosed cardiac condition every week in the UK. However, CRY believes the figure could be higher, as it is difficult to diagnose cardiac issues after the heart has stopped beating. There have been a number of high-profile cardiac deaths and incidents across the top level of a number of sports in recent times. Muamba's collapse happened during an FA Cup sixth-round tie that was being shown live on television. England batsman James Taylor, 26, retired from cricket earlier this year after he fell ill and tests revealed a similar condition to Muamba's. Wales rugby league player Danny Jones, 29, died after a cardiac arrest, triggered by hereditary heart disease, during a game in 2015. However, the UK's National Screening Committee - the body that advises ministers and the NHS on screening - last year upheld its decision to recommend against a national screening programme for sudden cardiac death of people between 12 and 39. It says the available tests are not accurate enough to correctly identify conditions which could lead to sudden cardiac death without wrongly identifying many people with healthy hearts. "Someone who is identified as having a high risk of sudden cardiac death may become anxious about their physical activity and stop regularly exercising which can be detrimental to their overall health," a spokesman said. "This is an important consideration whilst also acknowledging that screening would not pick-up all young people with a heart problem and give them false reassurance," they added. Dean Holdsworth, founder of the Non-League Footballers' Association, believes the grassroots level of the sport requires special attention to warn players of the dangers of cardiac issues. "It takes a tragedy to make people realise that it's needed, which is a real shame," the former Wimbledon and Bolton Wanderers striker told BBC Sport. "A part-time player may only train once a week and then thrash around for 90 minutes on a Saturday or a Sunday, putting in levels of wear and tear that their bodies aren't used to. "Players need to take more responsibility for their own screening, but if clubs can push to qualify with the FA for this screening they have to take advantage of it. "It's really important that players, clubs, county FAs and every person responsible for training a player at whatever level, look at this and say 'please make sure you're screened'." In 1982, Italy introduced mandatory screening for all young athletes taking part in organised sport. A 25-year study of the programme showed an 89% drop in sudden cardiac deaths in athletes, from 3.6 per 100,000 to 0.4 per 100,000. The model was highlighted by sports minister Tracey Crouch after the death of another non-league footballer, Junior Dian of Tonbridge Angels, in July 2015. "It's an important area and one that I'll be looking at in some detail in the forthcoming sports strategy," she said at the time. The government is looking into whether the Italian model could be followed. "In Italy they've had a huge reduction in deaths by having an organised routine. I think there is a real opportunity to make an intervention that is going to change people's lives," Davies said. "I think that now there is an understanding and a sense of urgency and the fact that the government is looking at it again is a good step forward." Shaw Lane club chairman Craig Wood has set up a crowdfunding page to raise £50,000 to help increase screening in grassroots football. "The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise funds that will ultimately safe lives," Wood said. "By donating to this foundation and with the support of the FA and county FAs, every penny raised will go towards providing screenings for all footballers at grassroots levels and to assist clubs in purchasing defibrillators and to provide training in CPR. "We must ensure that Daniel's death is not in vain and that no more young footballers lose their lives." This article was about:
All young people involved in sport should be screened for underlying heart conditions, experts say.

Write an article based on this summary: Belfast's Black Santa is expected to begin his annual Christmas sit-out for charity on Thursday. Article:
The very Rev Dr Houston McKelvey will lead the Canons of St Anne's Cathedral on to Donegall Street for the annual event. Dean McKelvey said, "It is probably going to be the toughest sit-out yet both economically and weather-wise." The appeal raises money for various charities in Northern Ireland as well as Christian Aid. This will be the last black santa sit-out for the Church of Ireland dean of Belfast, Rev Houston McKelvey, who announced he is to retire in April 2011. Dean McKelvey said: "We will be in the street as usual each day from Thursday to Christmas Eve from nine in the morning to five in the evening. "Relying as always on the tremendous generosity of the people, schools and businesses in our community. Millions "I extend an invitation to everyone to come and see us or 'our day off' on Sunday 19 December, when we will present "Carols for the City" and celebrate the Christmas message of God's generosity. "I would like to sincerely thank those who have already responded to our Postal appeal. "It helps going on to the street knowing that £90,000 has already been given to this year's appeal." Dean McKelvey plans to sit outside St Anne's Cathedral until Christmas Eve, continuing a tradition begun by his predecessors 30 years ago. The charity vigil has raised millions since it began. Dean Sammy Crooks first started the collection in 1976. Dean McKelvey first sat out for Christmas five years ago, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Dean Jack Shearer, who died in January 2001. Dean Shearer was initially dubbed Black Santa by the media because of his distinctive clothing and the name caught on among the public. The appeal raises money for various charities in Northern Ireland as well as Christian Aid.

Problem: Article: The report released on Monday stated the star may have taken cocaine three days before she fell ill on a flight on 23 December, US media reported. Traces of heroin and MDMA, popularly known as ecstasy, were also found in the Star Wars actress's system. But investigators could not determine what impact the cocaine and other drugs had on her death. The findings were based on toxicology samples taken when Fisher arrived at a Los Angeles hospital. Investigators could not say when the actress had taken the MDMA or heroin. The star, who played Princess Leia in the film series, died on 27 December. On Friday, a statement from the Los Angeles coroner said the exact cause of death was unknown but cited factors including sleep apnoea, heart disease and drug use. Sleep apnoea is a common condition in which a person stops breathing during sleep, either for a few seconds or minutes. In a statement released to People magazine after the coroner's ruling, Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd said: "My mum battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. "She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases." Her manner of death will be listed as undetermined, the coroner's statement said. Fisher's death certificate, issued in January, stated that the cause of death was "cardiac arrest/deferred".

The publishers say the book will be "informed by details that only a President can know". The book, which is Mr Clinton's first novel, will be released by Alfred A Knopf and Hachette in June 2018. "Working on a book about a sitting president - drawing on what I know about the job, life in the White House, and the way Washington works - has been a lot of fun," said the former president. "And working with Jim has been terrific. I've been a fan of his for a very long time," he added. The details of the plot are not currently known, but the two men have announced plans to hold a national book tour to promote it. Mr Patterson is considered to be the world's best-selling novelist in recent years, and has published more than 130 titles in his name. Mr Clinton has written several books since leaving the presidency, but never a novel. His other works include My Life, Giving, and Back to Work. Answer: [[Former-president Bill Clinton is writing a novel about the White House, publishers announced on Monday.]] Problem: Article: Since becoming the world's number one side in the summer of 2011, they have lost seven of their 12 Test matches, with their batting, bowling and fielding deteriorating. Following the series defeat by South Africa that cost them top spot, then-captain Andrew Strauss said that England had preferred to be chasing the summit of the world rankings, rather than trying to defend it. In six Tests in Asia this year, they have only made more than 200 runs in their first innings on two occasions and you will not win many Test matches with a record like that Read more from Alec Stewart That is something that goes with the territory. When you are at the top, teams raise their game to play against you, breathing down your neck because they want what you have. England clearly never got to grips with that and since then they have not been getting enough runs, not bowling well enough and they have dropped too many catches. It is a decline that began when they went to the UAE and lost 3-0 to Pakistan. That loss took them by surprise, denting their confidence at the same time. Since then, they have had the Kevin Pietersen issue cast a shadow over what was ultimately a disappointing summer and they have fretted about playing spin, knowing that the trip to India was looming. Despite all that, the scale of the defeat in Ahmedabad still comes as a surprise. Yes, England still had slim hopes of saving the match at the beginning of the fifth day, but it was actually a very one-sided contest. Media playback is not supported on this device To lose their final five wickets before lunch was disappointing, but always the most likely outcome. Of course, much was made of the make-up of England's side, particularly the decision to leave out spinner Monty Panesar, and selection issues will again come under the spotlight in the run-up to the second Test in Mumbai, which begins on Friday. For us outside the team, it's very easy to sit back and say the batsmen should score runs and the bowlers should take the wickets. It will be much more difficult than that for captain Alastair Cook. For example, I have seen it suggested that Steven Finn, if fit, could come in for Stuart Broad. If Panesar also came into the side, that would push Graeme Swann up to number eight, having been number 10 in the first Test. Can they really go into a Test match with such a long tail, especially when scoring runs in Asia has been England's biggest problem? When the ball turns in the subcontinent, the tail can be disposed of very quickly, as happened on the fifth morning in Ahmedabad. In addition, any changes to the attack would only mask the bigger problem, which has been scoring runs. One definite absentee from the next match will be Ian Bell, who is returning home for the birth of his child. I've got nothing against any sportsman being there to see their children being born, but the fact that Bell has come out for one Test has rather backed England into a corner. It's created a problem in that Bell had valuable practice time in the warm-up matches then played in the first Test, leaving England now having to turn to someone who won't have batted properly for 10 days or so. For the batsmen that do play in Mumbai, they simply have to perform better than they did here. They should follow the example of Cook and Matt Prior, who proved that runs can be scored against the India spinners. Ultimately, England have to up their game in every department if they are to have any chance of getting back in this series. We are using archive pictures for this Test because several photo agencies, including Getty Images, have been barred from the ground following a dispute with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, while other agencies have withdrawn their photographers in protest.

Sharapova was banned for two years last June after testing positive for meldonium, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) reduced the suspension. The 29-year-old Russian will return at next month's Porsche Grand Prix, courtesy of a wildcard entry. "Will it be difficult? Absolutely," said the former world number one. "In tennis you lose a lot of hand-eye co-ordination. Practice is never the same as matchplay, to face someone on the other side of the net." Sharapova is free to return on 26 April, two days after the start of the Porsche Grand Prix in Stuttgart. That means she is not allowed to attend the tournament until the day of her opening match. Sharapova also has wildcards for May's tournaments in Madrid and Rome, though she has already taken part in two exhibition events since her ban was reduced. She last played a professional tournament at the 2016 Australian Open, where she failed her drugs test. "When you love what you do, and you do it with passion and integrity and you work hard and have a team around you, and you're the driving force, you know what you stand for and who you are," she told an ANA Inspiring Women in Sports Conference. "I've got my day job back. It's great. I've been training quite hard for the past four months." Sharapova was a long-time user of meldonium and says she was unaware it had been added to the banned list at the start of 2016. On appeal, Cas found she was not an "intentional doper" and reduced her suspension. "I fought so hard for the truth," she added. "You don't realise how much you love something until you lose it for some time." Sum: Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova says she has got her "day job back" as she prepares to return to tennis after a 15-month ban. Article: Women in some communities are denied "even their basic rights as British residents", the Casey Review said. Dame Louise Casey accused public bodies of ignoring or condoning divisive or harmful religious practices for fear of being called racist. Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said he would study the findings "closely". Dame Louise's review into the integration of minorities was commissioned by former Prime Minister David Cameron as part of the government's efforts to tackle extremism. Among her recommendations were that immigrants could take "an oath of integration with British values and society" and schoolchildren be taught British values. Her review said there was a sense that people from different backgrounds got on well together at a general level, but community cohesion "did not feel universally strong across the country". She found "high levels of social and economic isolation in some places, and cultural and religious practices in communities that are not only holding some of our citizens back, but run contrary to British values and sometimes our laws". Her report highlighted the plight of women in some Muslim communities, who she said were less likely to speak English and more likely to be kept at home. "Misogyny and patriarchy has to come to an end," Dame Louise said, adding that public institutions must not fear being branded racist or Islamophobic. Faeeza Vaid, from the Muslim Women's Network, said migrant communities should not be blamed for failing to integrate. "We also see segregated white communities," she told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. "Integration is everyone's responsibility." Halima Begum, a Muslim woman from London, said she was "worried" that the report singled out Muslim men. "There is a problem with men and I see it," she told the BBC's Asian Network. "We need to have an open debate without placing too much blame on communities." Afraid of being dubbed racist, afraid of losing support, afraid of challenging minority communities - that is Dame Louise Casey's view of Britain's decision-makers. Criticising politicians and officials is the easy bit. The significance of this report is that it targets individual communities and faiths. It contrasts with the language of people living "parallel lives" - a term used in an earlier report and designed to be neutral, placing no more blame on one community than another. Dame Louise makes clear her outrage at what she calls "regressive practices" targeting women and girls. She accepts she is putting Muslim areas under the spotlight. The question for Dame Louise - an official not immune to criticism herself - is how would she achieve change? What if an elected politician refused to take her oath? What if some people - of whatever community - simply prefer to live and educate their children separately? Iqbal Bhana, a government adviser on anti-Muslim hate crime, rejected the report's claim that Britain was becoming more segregated. "I don't think we are divided," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "If you go to places like Bradford or Leicester you see second and third-generation people moving out of some of these communities." During her research, Dame Louise spoke to women in areas of Birmingham and Manchester that she said could not leave their homes without their husband's permission. She blamed those in authority for "ducking the issue" of women's inequality out of a wish to respect different cultures. 4.1m population increase 2001-11 50%+ of the increase is due to immigration 2.8m people in Britain are Muslim - the biggest religious group after Christians 70-85% of the populations in some wards in Blackburn, Birmingham, Burnley and Bradford are Muslim 511 schools in 43 areas take more than 50% pupils from Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds 27% of births in 2014 were to mothers born outside the UK "If [the women] were white and living in Surrey, we would all be up in arms about it," she said. She said not talking about these issues would only "give ammunition to the extreme far-right and Islamic extremists", who are the people "who set out to divide us". Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who chairs the all-party parliamentary group on social integration, agreed that division had bred extremism and was "sapping our communities of trust". Immigration was another theme in the report, in which Dame Louise said some towns and cities were "struggling to adjust" to an influx of foreign nationals. On a visit to Sheffield, she said, she had found some schools were coping with an increase in Eastern European children from 150 to nearly 2,500 over a five-year period. The report also highlighted a "persistent disadvantage" facing black men in the workplace, as well as white working class children on free meals who underperformed at school. The report made 12 recommendations, including: Mr Javid said Britain had "long been home to lots of different cultures and communities", but added that "all of us have to be part of one society". While it was right to celebrate the "positive contribution" diverse groups make to British life, nobody should be excluded from it or left behind, he said. "We need to take a serious look at the facts and must not shy away from the challenges we face. "Dame Louise's report is a valuable contribution, and I will be studying her findings closely." He said he would be reporting back in the New Year. ++++++++++ Summarize:
Segregation and social exclusion are at "worrying levels" and are fuelling inequality in some areas of Britain, a report has found.

input: Article: This is slower than the 7.5% growth recorded for the previous quarter, and lower than expected. India and China - which also posted 7% growth in the second quarter - are now the joint fastest growing major economies in the world. But some economists have expressed concerns that India's official figures do not accurately reflect true growth. "At face value, today's GDP figures for [the second quarter] suggest that India matched China as the world's fastest-growing major economy last quarter," said Shilan Shah at Capital Economics. "But the GDP data remain inconsistent with numerous other indicators which suggest that, at best, the economy is in the early stages of recovery after three years of tepid growth. "The official GDP data are overstating the strength of the economy, most probably by a significant margin." With concerns about slowing growth in China, some investors are starting to turn to India as the next driver of global growth. Some were expecting stronger growth than 7% - in two of the previous three quarters, the Indian economy grew faster than China. "The GDP number is disappointing but, overall, going ahead we expect India's economic growth to be driven by domestic demand," said Madhavi Arora, from Kotak Mahindra Bank in Mumbai. "With commodity prices falling, there should be a boost to corporate margins going ahead and household spending should also go up." Analysis: Simon Atkinson, editor, India Business Report, Mumbai There will be plenty of people disappointed with this number. Some economists I've spoken to recently thought GDP growth would be closer to 8% - streaking ahead of China's. Digging into the detail - it looks like growth in Indian manufacturing has slowed from a year ago - a bit of a blow given this is one of the Modi government's main initiatives. And whether pace picks up in the July-September period will largely depend on the weather. This is the monsoon season and when rains are good and harvest plentiful, rural consumption goes up as people working in agriculture have more money to spend. But, so far, many parts of the country have seen less rain than you'd expect. Summarize. output: India's economy grew at an annual rate of 7% between April and June, official figures have shown. input: Article: The 29-year-old Denmark international signed a two-year deal with the Championship club in September, but only made seven league starts. The former Arsenal player scored two goals in 17 appearances in total.

Ahead of Wednesday's second leg in Manchester (19:30 BST), Adams told BBC Sport: "The job's not done yet. "We still have to go there and give a professional account of ourselves." Wolves themselves turned round a record Elite League deficit in their semi-final, when they came from 12 points down after the first leg to end Poole Pirates' three-year reign as champions. To come from even further back would be an astounding achievement against a Wolves side who have now won eight of their last nine meetings, but Adams warned: "We know how strong they can be around their own circuit. "That said, we'd still like to go there and win on the night. The team deserve a lot of credit to got there with such a lead. "After last week against Poole I was a little bit fearful that we may have peaked too soon, but the team proved me wrong." Against a Belle Vue side who finished top of the regular Elite League table, Wolves' star was reserve Kyle Howarth, who dropped just two points to a Belle Vue rider. Jacob Thorssell's two wins at the end of the first leg took both him and world individual champion Tai Woffinden past double figures again, while Sweden's Freddie Lindgren contributed nine points. Wolverhampton: Kyle Howarth 12+1, Jacob Thorssell 9+2, Freddie Lindgren 9, Tai Woffinden 8+2, Sam Masters 8, Peter Karlsson 4+3, Max Clegg 4+1. Belle Vue: Craig Cook 10, Steve Worrall 8, Scott Nicholls 6, Richie Worrall 6, Matej Zagar 5+1, Max Fricke 1, Joe Jacobs 0. Summarize. output: Wolves are in prime position to win the Elite League for the first time in seven years after opening up an 18-point lead at the halfway mark over Belle Vue in the two-leg Grand Final. input: Article: But that is likely to end this year. The local government plans to reinstate speed limits along a 300km (180-mile) stretch of the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Tenant Creek. The move has upset Northern Territory residents who have to drive across vast stretches of the outback but has also rankled sports car companies. Roads in the NT can often be treacherous, peppered with roaming cattle or kangaroos, enormous lorries and challenging weather. Newly elected North Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner said the decision to end a trial of open speed limits was about saving lives. "Our policy is to remove open limits based on advice from doctors, nurses, surgeons and police who agree open limits should not exist," he said this week. He said Territorians had "overwhelmingly voted in favour" of ending the trial. He said medical staff put the territory's rate of deaths in motor vehicle crashes at about 15 per 100,000 people per year - three times the national average. But European car companies which regularly test their vehicles in the rugged Australian bush are not happy. "They're taking away an opportunity for us to do anything above 130km/h in the Northern Territory - with its spectacular scenery, landscapes and roads," Porsche spokesman Paul Ellis told the BBC. "All I'm saying is let's have a logical discussion about what causes fatalities. To say that speed is the biggest issue, I don't think that is correct." Car companies will still be able to conduct test drives at any speed, but will need to apply for a permit in advance. Peter Hondow, an Alice Springs hot rod enthusiast, said the restrictions were being made by people who did not fully understand life in central Australia. "You might drive for two hours and not see another car driving the other way. There's just no traffic out there. It's not like city roads." He said while there were some sports car drivers that were putting their foot down, most people living out in the territory were driving at high speeds to get to from A to B. "It's 1,600km to Darwin, it's 1,600km to Adelaide. They don't understand the remoteness of where we are." Summarize. output:
A remote highway in Australia's dusty red centre is currently the only part of country where you can legally drive as fast as you want.

Write an article based on this summary: Thousands of Britons could be inadvertently sharing their digital secrets with anyone who knows where to click, suggests a BBC investigation. +++++++ A: At risk are photographs, home videos and music collections as well as scans of documents such as passports, tax forms and other sources of personal data. In some cases, back-up files are being made available that, if downloaded and restored, could let attackers take over a victim's online life. Security firms suggest that attackers have already found out about this easy-to-access source of saleable data and are starting to actively seek it out and share it. Those at risk are people who use home data storage devices known as Network Attached Storage (NAS). Correctly configured, these devices act as a common data store accessible by any other device connecting to that home network. However, many people have set them up incorrectly and have accidentally made this data accessible not just to their home network but to the internet at large. Visiting this data is as easy as visiting any other webpage. To find out how many people are accidentally sharing their data online, the BBC turned to the Shodan search engine. While Google, Bing and others seek out data on the net, Shodan looks for devices. In the past, security researchers have used Shodan to expose insecure and poorly protected computers controlling industrial plants, power plants, heating and ventilation systems and CCTV streams. A search via Shodan turned up tens of thousands of NAS systems in UK homes. Working out which ones of these are sharing personal data is difficult because British computer misuse laws do not allow the BBC to visit them to see which are happy to share data with anyone. An idea of how many are exposed to the net can be gleaned by examining the information that Shodan collects about the NAS boxes. This gives a strong hint that many are making public huge amounts of private data. Independent corroboration of the BBC's findings has been given by security firm Digital Shadows. Among other things, the firm helps large businesses find out how much information about them is being shared online. As part of this work, Digital Shadows carries out surveys that seek places where internal data leaks out on to the net. Domestic NAS boxes are regular sources of these leaks, said James Chappell, chief technology officer at Digital Shadows. "We've seen tens of thousands that are available online," said Mr Chappell. "We've also definitely seen an increase in the number of devices in the last six months. "The most worrying part is that it's getting worse." Mr Chappell has no doubt that a lot of the data available via these NAS boxes is deeply personal. "For me, the most worrying part of this is that consumers are just trusting the device manufacturer to make smart choices about how they defend the security of their devices," he said. "They need to be aware that the manufacturer may not be as diligent as they hope." Owners of NAS boxes should check to ensure that they are configured to surrender data only to devices within their home network, he said. The default state of many of the devices is to share widely, he said, and often owners have to make a specific choice to restrict access. There was evidence that attackers were starting to realise that home NAS boxes could be a good source of saleable data, said Mr Chappell. The net scans that Digital Shadows carried out regularly revealed links to domestic NAS boxes on the Google index, he said. "That means it will have to have been shared somewhere else to make it crop up on a search engine." That "somewhere else" could well be a place where cyberthieves gathered or swapped data, he said. Criminals were certainly starting to take more interest in home networking devices, said Craig Young, a researcher from Tripwire who has studied the security shortcomings of both NAS boxes and home routers. "It does seem like large-scale attacks on these devices are coming more frequently," said Mr Young. One such attack took place in February when Poland's Computer Emergency Response Team reported details of an attack on routers that installed snooping software on vulnerable devices. This software watched data traffic passing out of the device, grabbed any that related to online banking and passed it back to the gang behind the attack. Unfortunately, he said, the poor security on many routers meant that success was almost guaranteed for attackers that targeted home hardware. "Manufacturers could make them better but it would cost them development time and money," he said. "I have not seen any that do things like encrypt passwords and all are designed to use just rudimentary security controls." Mr Young helped to organise a competition at the recent Defcon hacker conference that tried to see how well widely used home routers withstood attacks. All nine routers used in the contest were comprehensively compromised and the event found a series of hitherto unknown vulnerabilities in the software used to control them. Similarly Jacob Holcomb from Independent Security Evaluators has found a large number of easy-to-exploit vulnerabilities in many popular NAS boxes. Many hand over data when hit by the most basic attacks, he said. Getting known faults on routers fixed could be frustrating, said Mr Young. "I've worked with several vendors and I'll report that there's an authentication bypass in Model X and after a bit of pushing I get that fixed on the model," he said. "However," he added, "they then don't fix the same bug on other devices, even if the change to the firmware is the same for all of them." Given this lackadaisical attitude, it was worth consumers taking a little time to protect themselves. "They tend to have very common flaws that people really need to be paying more attention to," he said. "Change the IP address, change the default password, upgrade the firmware once in a while. "It's really pretty straightforward," he said. Write an article based on this summary: A masked gang stole thousands of pounds in a robbery before throwing an axe at a police car and dragging a woman out of her vehicle in Lancashire. +++++++ A: Three men threatened security guards at Hatfield Avenue Shell garage in Fleetwood at 07:50 BST, said police. They drove off, later throwing an axe at a police patrol car then reversing into the vehicle before speeding off and stealing another car. Four men aged 22, 24, 27 and 32, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery. The men, all from the Bolton area, are in custody. A number of motorists on the A6 at Barton reported their cars had been involved in minor collisions. The vehicle stolen from the woman, aged 61, was found abandoned. No-one was injured. Det Ch Insp Mark Winstanley said: "This was a fast-paced sequence of events and it is fortunate that, while distressing for those involved, no-one was injured." Write an article based on this summary: Colombian authorities say evidence is growing that a plane carrying a Brazilian football team crashed because it ran out of fuel as it tried to land. +++++++ A:
The plane had no fuel on impact, an official said, corroborating audio of the pilot asking to land because of a fuel shortage and electric failure. The capital Bogota was mentioned on the flight plan as a possible refuelling stop, but the plane did not land there. The plane plunged into a mountainside near Medellin late on Monday. Only six of the 77 people on board the plane survived. "Having been able to do an inspection of all of the remains and parts of the plane, we can affirm clearly that the aircraft did not have fuel at the moment of impact," civil aviation chief Alfredo Bocanegra told a news conference. Freddy Bonilla, another aviation official, said regulations stipulated that aircraft must have 30 minutes of fuel in reserve to reach an alternative airport in an emergency, but "in this case the plane did not have" it. "The engines are the electrical source... but without fuel, obviously the electrical source would have been completely lost," he added. In a leaked tape, the pilot can be heard warning of a "total electric failure" and "lack of fuel". Just before the tape ends, he says he is flying at an altitude of 9,000ft (2,745m). The plane was carrying the Brazilian football team Chapecoense, who had been due to play a cup final against Atletico Nacional in Medellin on Wednesday evening. The team flew from Sao Paulo to Santa Cruz on a commercial flight, then switched to the chartered aircraft. Brazil's O Globo reported that because of a delayed departure, a refuelling stop in Cobija - on the border between Brazil and Bolivia - was abandoned because the airport did not operate at night. The pilot had the option to refuel in Bogota, but headed straight to Medellin. "The pilot was the one who took the decision," Gustavo Vargas, a representative of Lamia, which operated the plane, was quoted as saying in Bolivian newspaper Pagina Siete. "He thought the fuel would last." Approaching Medellin, the pilot asked for permission to land because of fuel problems, without making a formal distress call. But another plane from airline VivaColombia had priority because it had already suffered a fuel leak, the co-pilot of another plane in the air at the time said. The pilot of the crashed plane is heard asking urgently for directions to the airport before the audio recording ends. Officials say the plane's "black boxes", which record flight details, will be sent to the UK to be opened by investigators. A full investigation into the crash is expected to take months. There are some critical questions investigators need to answer. If the plane did indeed run out of fuel, why didn't the crew fill up en route, as was reportedly planned? And why wasn't it carrying the required 30-minute fuel reserve? Or maybe it was, and there was a fuel leak somewhere. Also, why was the aircraft told to circle while another flight with a problem was given priority to land? Did the crew make it clear to the ground that they had a crisis on their hands? Looking at the radar track, it appears to circle for around 13 minutes. Yet it was only around three or four minutes flying time from the airport. Accidents normally come down to a series of problems and decisions that add up to catastrophe. There are often moments, with hindsight, where a tragedy could have been averted. We still don't have an official explanation yet. So, there may be facts or problems yet to come out that put a totally different complexion on what happened. On Wednesday night, when the match had been due to take place, tens of thousands of fans gathered at the Medellin stadium - and at Chapecoense's home ground in Chapeco - to pay tearful tributes. Many wore white and carried candles as a mark of respect. Chapecoense lost 19 players in the crash. Twenty journalists were also killed. Of the survivors, Chapecoense said that two players remained in a critical but stable condition, while the club's goalkeeper had had one leg amputated and might still lose his other foot. An injured journalist also remained in critical condition, the club said.

Write an article based on this summary: Campaigners against plans to build a row of 30 colourful beach huts on a stretch of shoreline in Moray hope to take their fight to the Court of Session.
Moray Council approved the proposals for Findhorn in May. Planning officers had recommended refusal, warning the huts could harm the beach's character. There were also 175 letters of objection, mainly from local residents. Objectors are taking legal advice. They ultimately hope to secure a judicial review. Council development officers had said the huts could significantly enhance the area's tourism appeal. The plans were approved by eight votes to six.

Question: Article:The meeting, held at a private farm outside the capital, follows months of protests against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad. No arrests were made, although the opposition figures who attended were monitored by security officials. Saturday's meeting comes two days after opposition parties in exile formed the Syrian National Council in Turkey. Dr Samir Aita, an opposition figure living abroad who attended the Damascus meeting, said the event was significant. "The importance of this meeting lies in the fact that it is happening in Damascus, on Syrian soil, in support of the protesters despite all the security difficulties," he said. Inspired by anti-government protests in Tunisia and Egypt, the opposition movement began more than five months ago as a series of protests against Syria's authorities. A violent crackdown by security forces has since left more than 2,200 people dead, according to the UN. The government says hundreds of its personnel have been killed. Most of the people who attended the opposition meeting were drawn from Syria's established opposition - who have spent years of their life in prison, says the BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus. Representatives of the protesters did not attend, fearing arrest, but they supported the meeting and their demands were read out, she adds. One activist group, the Local Coordination Committees, denied any involvement with the conference and said it could only form an alliance or coalition with the traditional opposition once the government had been toppled. The opposition asked for no international intervention, no sectarianism and no violence. At Thursday's meeting in Istanbul, members of Syria's opposition groups chose 140 people to form a "national council". Its aim is to organise and give a public face to protests against Mr Assad. It will also co-ordinate the opposition's policies against the Syrian leadership. Half of those selected are in Syria, with the remainder drawn from opposition figures in Syria's disapora. There have been earlier attempts to unite the country's opposition under one banner, but this attempt is being cast as having the full backing of all opposition groups, in effect an embryonic Syrian national assembly. Speaking on Thursday, an opposition spokeswoman, Basma Qadmani, said: "After completing the first level of consultative meetings, groups of revolutionary youth, political movements and personalities, activists and technocrats decided to found the Syrian National Council." Yasser Tabbara, another member of the council, said it had not yet elected a president. "We are in a democratic process. This is an inaugural meeting," he told the AFP news agency. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: More than 200 Syrian opposition figures have met near Damascus in an effort to unite anti-government groups. Question: Article:The 24-year-old, who moved to Turf Moor from Brentford in August 2015 for £6m, has scored 24 goals in 39 league games this season. Gillingham midfielder Bradley Dack, 22, and Oxford United's Kemar Roofe, 23, won the respective League One and League Two awards in Manchester. Leeds midfielder Lewis Cook, 19, was voted Young Player of the Year. Sheffield Wednesday forward Marco Matias won the prize for goal of the year for his strike against Leeds United. Twenty-two of Gray's goals this season have come for the Clarets, the latest being the winner at Birmingham on Saturday to move his side up to second in the Championship. Gray beat Brentford's Alan Judge and Fulham's Ross McCormack to claim the award after a vote by club managers. "I'm learning every day but I have got more to learn and hopefully I can continue to do so," said Gray. "I've probably exceeded a few people's expectations but the expectation that I have now is to help Burnley get promoted." Former Chesterfield, Southampton, Blackburn, Bolton and Preston striker Kevin Davies picked up the Sir Tom Finney Award. The honour, named after ex-England and Preston forward Finney, is given by the Football League 'to a player who has had an outstanding career in its competitions'. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: Burnley striker Andre Gray has been named Championship Player of the Year at The Football League Awards. Question: Article:Alun Wyn Jones is expected to take over from Warburton, who has skippered Wales for almost six years. Warburton's Blues and Wales team-mate Williams said: "He is going to play a big part for Wales this Six Nations. "Sam's done incredibly well as captain over the years and he's shown how important he's been." The scrum-half added: "He's a good leader so whatever Sam decides is up to him but he'll have the players' support." Williams, who hopes to be included when the squad is announced on Tuesday, thinks the 2017 competition will have extra layers of interest because of the bonus point system that is being introduced on a trial basis, as well as the controversial new tackle laws. World Rugby's new laws on tackles came into force on 3 January and mean players can be punished for making contact with an opponent's head even if the tackle starts below the shoulders. "Some games could come down to a few card decisions so it's something all teams will have to be wary of," Williams added. "Big games come down to big decisions so that's important." The 27-year-old, who has won 28 caps for Wales, says the bonus points will be an incentive and have a positive impact on the competition. Wins in the Six Nations will now be rewarded with four points instead of two, while winning and losing teams will win bonus points for scoring four or more tries. "Getting wins is really important. That will be the main priority but, towards the end of the competition, I'm sure bonus points will come into play," Williams added. "Come 50 or 60 minutes, when teams can see the win in sight, they will push for a bonus point." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Wales and Cardiff Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams says Sam Warburton will still be integral in the Six Nations whether he keeps the captaincy or not.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Argentina's plan to exit its debt default by asking investors holding defaulted bonds to swap them for new locally issued debt has been ruled "illegal" by a US court." Article: A: New York Judge Thomas Griesa said the plan was "lawless". However, he stopped short of finding the country in contempt of court. Argentina was trying to get around an earlier court ruling banning it from paying interest to investors who had accepted restructured bonds. Mr Griesa ruled in July that the country must first pay the hedge funds holding out for full payment on the bonds on which it defaulted in 2001. "I want to be very clear, this proposal is a violation of the current orders of this court... it is illegal and the court directs that it cannot be carried out," Mr Griesa said on Thursday. The hedge funds, which bought Argentina's bonds at a big discount after its economic meltdown and previous default in 2001-02, are owed an estimated $1.3bn (£766m). Argentina has consistently refused to pay them, saying it cannot afford to do so, and called them "vultures" for refusing to swap their bonds for lesser valued ones. Mr Griesa likened Argentina's stance to a man showing up to complete a house purchase with only $80,000 to buy a $100,000 property and insisting: "$80,000 is a lot of money and my family is ready to move in". "He would be laughed out of the neighbourhood," the judge added. On Thursday, Mr Griesa urged the two sides to try and find a compromise. "If we can have a process leading to settlement, that is the path that should be taken," the judge said. In July, Argentina's Economy Minister Axel Kicillof flew to New York to try to make a deal with the hedge funds. However, the talks broke down, forcing Argentina to default on its debt - its second default in 13 years - thus exacerbating problems in its recession-hit economy. Problem: Write an article based on this "A former Soviet counter-intelligence official attended a meeting last year with senior aides to President Donald Trump and his son, it has emerged." Article: A: Rinat Akhmetshin, now a lobbyist, confirmed to US media he was present at the Trump Tower encounter. Donald Trump Jr was promised damaging material on Hillary Clinton at the meeting, his emails show. Mr Trump Jr has only previously acknowledged that a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was present. The president's eldest son has played down meeting, which took place on 9 June 2016, since it was reported this week. But the Senate Judiciary Committee has asked Mr Trump Jr, 39, to testify publicly Several congressional panels and federal investigators are looking into claims that Russia meddled in last year's US election in a bid to help Donald Trump. The New York meeting was also attended by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and election chairman, Paul Manafort. It has emerged as the firmest evidence yet of non-diplomatic interactions between Trump campaign aides and Russian figures. House Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi said that there was now "cold, hard evidence" that the Trump family intended to collude, possibly with Russia, to influence the elections, and that this should be investigated independently. "I... call for the revoking of the security clearance for Jared Kushner. It's absolutely ridiculous that he should have... that clearance," she said. During a news conference in Paris, France, on Thursday, Mr Trump said that "most people would have taken that meeting". "Zero happened," the president said. Mr Akhmetshin told the AP news agency he served in a Soviet military unit that was part of counterintelligence, but that he was never formally trained as a spy. In court papers filed in 2015 with the US District Court in Washington DC, where he lives, a mining company accused him of organising a hack on its private records as part of an alleged smear campaign. International Mineral Resources hired a private investigator to follow Mr Akhmetshin to London. The Russian-American was overheard in a coffee shop bragging about arranging the cyber-attack on the firm's computer system, according to court documents. Mr Akhmetshin denied the allegations, and the case was later dropped. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the Russian government knows nothing about Mr Akhmetshin, the AP reported. Mr Akhmetshin told the Washington Post he became a US citizen in 2009 but retains his Russian nationality. He is a registered lobbyist who has focused in recent years on overturning the 2012 US Magnitsky Act. The law, which froze the assets of senior Russian officials, angered President Vladimir Putin. Mr Akhmetshin told the Washington Post he only accompanied Ms Veselnitskaya to the Trump Tower meeting on the spur of the moment after meeting her for lunch. He said he showed up with her at the Manhattan skyscraper wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Mr Akhmetshin said he and Ms Veselnitskaya were joined by an interpreter. "I never thought this would be such a big deal, to be honest," he said. The meeting was set up by Rob Goldstone, a British music publicist for Russian pop star Emin Agalarov. Mr Agalarov worked with Donald Trump Snr on staging the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in 2013. Emails show that Mr Goldstone promised Mr Trump Jr that Ms Veselnitskaya, whom he described as a "Russian government attorney", would share damaging information about Mrs Clinton. Mr Trump Jr said it became apparent as they spoke that Ms Veselnitskaya wanted to discuss a suspended programme for Americans to adopt Russian children. But Mr Akhmetshin told the AP that Ms Veselnitskaya informed Mr Trump Jr she had details of possible illicit funds being funnelled to the Democratic National Committee (DNC). "This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money," he said he recalled her saying. According to Mr Akhmetshin, Mr Trump Jr asked her if she had evidence to prove the claim, but the lawyer urged the Trump campaign to research the matter. The president's son appeared to lose interest, said Mr Akhmetshin. "They couldn't wait for the meeting to end," he added. Problem: Write an article based on this "Rising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seven times the current rates, say Swedish researchers." Article: A:
They've discovered a new way in which warming increases levels of the toxin in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line. The study has been published in the journal, Science Advances. Mercury is one of the world's most toxic metals, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children. The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury, an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants. Levels of mercury in the world's ecosystems have increased by between 200 and 500%, since the industrial revolution say experts, driven up by the use of fossil fuels such as coal. In recent years there are have been concentrated efforts to limit the amount of mercury entering the environment, with an international treaty, called the Minamata Convention, signed by 136 countries in place since 2013. But this new study suggests that climate change could be driving up levels of methylmercury in a manner not previously recognised. In a large laboratory, Swedish researchers recreated the conditions found in the Bothnian sea estuary. They discovered that as temperatures increase, there is an increased run-off of organic matter into the world's oceans and lakes. This encourages the growth of bacteria at the expense of phytoplankton. "When bacteria become abundant in the water there is also a growth of a new type of predators that feed on bacteria," lead author Dr Erik Bjorn from Umea University in Sweden told BBC News. "You basically get one extra step in the food chain and methylmercury is enriched by about a factor of ten in each such step in the food web." Under the warmest climate scenario suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there would be an increase in organic matter run-off of 15-20% by the end of this century. This in turn would see levels of methylmercury in zooplankton, the bottom link in the food chain, grow by between two and seven fold. Different parts of the world will suffer different impacts say the researchers, with lakes and coastal waters in the northern hemisphere being the most likely to have significant increases in methylmercury levels in fish, while the Mediterranean, the central US and Southern Africa will likely see reductions. Researchers hope that the Minamata treaty will be successful and countries reduce the amount of mercury that is being produced. Otherwise this discovery of a previously unknown source could have impacts for human health. "If we reduce mercury emissions, then we need to know how fast will ecosystems recover," said Dr Bjorn. "If we don't do anything and mercury doesn't decrease, and we add this on top then the implications would be severe." Other researchers in the field say that the new study highlights important issues that have previously been little known. "This work experimentally proves that climate change will have a significant effect of methylmercury budgets in coastal waters and its concentrations in fish," said Milena Horvat from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia. "This work will also have an important impact on future scenario simulations on the presence of mercury in fish in response to global mercury reductions from emission sources (primarily industrial)."

Problem: The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said the owner of the Vasquez motor cruiser died after he was discovered on board on 12 November. Initial tests have shown there were high levels of carbon monoxide inside the cockpit, with the engine running. MAIB said two people who tried to rescue the man had to be treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. What was that article about? A: An investigation has been launched into the death of a man found collapsed on a boat at Cardiff Yacht Club. Davies damaged a shoulder in their Judgement Day win over Newport Gwent Dragons and will miss their final two regular-season games. The competition's top four teams will play off for the title in May. "If we're lucky enough to qualify for the top four then James in a race against time for a semi-final," said head coach Wayne Pivac. "The injury is improving. He's feeling much better this week but thee things take a little bit of time. "No surgery required at this stage so hopefully he can rehab and be all right for the semi." Pivac also believes Davies is a strong contender to go in Wales' summer tour in which they face Samoa in Apia and Tonga in Auckland. "James has been one of the in-form sevens in the competition. He's had a lot of man of the match awards. "Within our ranks we rate him very highly, what he can do with the ball, what he can do at the breakdown. "And defensively he's improved and I'd love to see him go on tour but that's out of my hands." Scarlets lie third in the table with only three points separating them from Ulster, who are fifth. The Llanelli-based region are at Connacht on Saturday, 29 April and a week later host Ospreys, who are fourth. Irish team Leinster are already assured of home advantage in the play-off semi-finals on 19/20 May. The final takes place at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Saturday, 27 May. Sum: Scarlets will be without injured open-side flanker James Davies until at least the Pro12 play-offs. Q: The deaths at Caithness General Hospital were examined in a review of the safety of neonatal services. An external independent inquiry looked at two stillbirths and three neonatal deaths from 2010 to 2015. It concluded that at least two of the deaths were "potentially avoidable". "Sub-optimal care" and "avoidable factors" were recorded in all five of the perinatal deaths analysed. It comes a week after the Scottish government ordered a review following six so-called "unnecessary" deaths of babies at Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, since 2008. Scottish Labour has called on ministers to announce a national review of staffing and workforce issues across all maternity units. The comprehensive 116-page report into maternal and neonatal services at Caithness General Hospital will be discussed at a meeting of the NHS Highland board on Tuesday. It recommends that Caithness Maternity Unit should operate as a midwife-led Community Maternity Unit (CMU), on the grounds of safety, while cases with a risk of complications should go to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. The review was prompted by the potentially avoidable death of a newborn baby at the hospital in September last year. NHS Highland's medical director Dr Roderick Harvey, who ordered the review, said: "Families do rightly put their faith in the health service and the fact that infants died possibly as a result of sub-optimal care is unacceptable and I apologise unreservedly for these past failings. "That is why I commissioned the current review and I would wish to assure you that the families have been uppermost in our minds when conducting the review. "Having identified real safety concerns in my view we must move swiftly to address these concerns and that is the basis of my recommendations." The health board confirmed that there had been no legal claims over the deaths. No members of staff have been disciplined as a result of the five deaths because "any identified deficiencies did not reflect on individual clinicians, but rather the system that they work in". Last week, Health Secretary Shona Robison instructed Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) to carry out a review into certain cases in Ayrshire and Arran "to inform me whether the correct procedures and processes were properly followed" in these instances. Between 2008 and 31 March this year, there were four Significant Adverse Event Reviews concerning stillbirth deaths at Ayrshire Maternity Unit at Crosshouse Hospital, NHS Ayrshire and Arran said. The BBC said there have been six so-called "unnecessary" deaths of babies at the hospital since 2008. Labour health spokesman Anas Sarwar said: "These reports are heartbreaking, and our thoughts are with every family who has been affected by the death of a child. "The report in Caithness and review at Crosshouse follow on from figures which revealed 25,000 incidents in maternity wards across Scotland since 2011." He added: "Labour wants to see the Scottish government launch a national review of staffing and workforce issues across all maternity units."

England women face world number seven side Germany on Sunday at 16:45 BST, while Scotland face Ireland at 12:15 BST. The win comes a year to the day that Great Britain, featuring several members of the England team, won Olympic gold in Rio. summary: England started the defence of their EuroHockey Championship title with a 4-1 win against Ireland in Amsterdam. Text: The 28-year-old reached the landmark in Exeter's 3-0 win at Grimsby Town in League Two on 14 January. "It was a proud moment," Reid, who has played for 13 clubs during a near 11-year career, told BBC Sport. "I've had managers and people tell me that I wouldn't play 100 games, so to get 100 goals is quite an achievement, especially for the position I play." Reid has scored five times for Exeter since joining the Grecians in September. He was one of League Two's most prolific marksmen between 2013 and 2015 while at Plymouth Argyle, but injury last season saw him score just seven goals. "I wasn't really thinking about getting to the landmark at all really," added Reid, who had to wait almost two months before getting his 100th goal. "I knew I was on 99 but I wasn't chasing it, it wasn't in my brain." Reid has formed part of an impressive attacking unit at Exeter, with David Wheeler, Ollie Watkins and himself combining to score 12 goals in Exeter's past six games. That form has helped Exeter from just above the relegation places to 10th position, four points below the play-offs. "At the moment the goals seem to be going in for the lads and hopefully it continues," Reid said. "A lot that you see on the pitch is training ground-based. It's very nice when it comes off and we're seeing the rewards from that. "As long as we win and keep winning points, I'd take not scoring again." summary:

Write an article based on this "The Queen has unveiled a new memorial to those who died while serving with the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment."
She laid a wreath at the Lion of England bronze statue at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire after a service earlier. Since the regiment was set up in 2006, its soldiers have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan where 32 have died. The dedication service was attended by wounded veterans, Army personnel, families and friends. The infantry regiment was formed after the merger of the King's Own Royal Border Regiment, the King's Regiment and the Queen's Lancashire Regiment. The lion faces north-west England in tribute to the origins of the regiment, of which the Queen, who holds the title of Duke of Lancaster, is Colonel-in-Chief. It recruits soldiers Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. Stonemason Nick Johnson and sculptor Georgie Welch crafted the lion from clay before it was cast at a foundry. Ms Welch said: "The Queen said it was very life-like and that it had a real look of power. She also said it looked fearless." The new statue is one of more than 300 dedicated memorials in the 150-acre site in Staffordshire. For those whose loved ones are remembered by the new memorial, today was a day of pride and poignancy. Naturally, there was was sadness recalling lives cut short too soon. But there was pride too in the fact they died for Queen and country. Tracy Dunn-Bridgeman, from Liverpool, was among those who made the journey to the National Memorial Arboretum. She lost her son Jason to the Afghanistan conflict in 2009. She said: "They say the Regiment's its own little family, and although the lads have all got their individual headstones, this is a family headstone for want of a better description." Darren Deady, from Westhoughton near Bolton, had wanted to be a soldier from being a boy. He was injured in Afghanistan and died in 2010. Today his mum Julie Hall and bother Daniel watched the Queen dedicate the new memorial to the fallen of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment with a deep sense of pride. "It's beautiful," said Mrs Hall. "It remembers all the boys and all the boys are together."

Time To Change Wales' Reach Out campaign aims to show people do not need to be experts to talk to others about their problems. It features "champions" who have experienced poor mental health talking about their own experiences. One, TV presenter Matt Johnson, said small things could "go a long way". He has previously spoken of his battles with depression and said initiatives such as this could help prevent the condition from happening. "For me, my friends and family have been so important to me with preventing future bouts of depression," he said. "The most important thing about reaching out is that anybody can do it, it's usually free, it's usually a conversation, it's a tap on the back, it's the acknowledgement of somebody, of somebody's existence, because with lots of people with a mental illness they can feel very alone." Time To Change Wales was set up in 2012 and led by three Welsh mental health charities. It aims to end stigma and discrimination around mental health problems. Research has found nine out of 10 people with the condition have experienced such stigma, and say it can be worse than the illness itself. A series of adverts featuring the champions will be screened as well as a social media campaign encouraging people to share stories of helping others or being helped themselves. Programme manager Ryan Jones said: "The Reach Out campaign has a really simple message; we can all do small things that will make a big difference to our friends, family members and colleagues who experience mental health problems. "Whether it's asking them how they are, or going for a coffee and a chat, to the cinema or the gym, these can have a positive impact on their mental health and support their recovery. "We are really proud to have people with lived experience at the heart of the Reach Out campaign, courageously sharing their stories to help tackle the stigma and discrimination that is still faced by too many people across Wales." This article was about:
People are being urged to do small things, such as going for coffee with friends and relatives who have mental health problems, as part of a campaign.

Write an article based on this summary: So what does the UK political upheaval mean for Brexit negotiations, slated to start in 10 days' time? Article:
And does the hung parliament indicate that a hard Brexit, a softer Brexit or a cliff-edge Brexit (where there's no deal and the UK simply "falls out" of the EU) becomes more likely? All questions redirected firmly today by Brussels back to the Dover side of the Channel. The ball is very much in Britain's court. Brexit - to state the obvious - has been driven by Britain all along. Almost a year ago, the UK voted to leave the EU. Since then it has been riven by divisions between Leavers and Remainers, and between fans of so-called hard Brexit - where the UK leaves the EU single market and the customs union - and a softer Brexit, where the UK maintains the benefits of those associations. It was the British government that delayed the possible start of face-to-face Brexit negotiations, by calling a snap election. And it is the new British government that can say, again, it needs more time, s'il vous plaît. The EU position is that it never wanted the UK to leave, but since Brexit is happening, it is ready and waiting. While the UK has struggled internally with political turmoil ever since its referendum, Brussels has had almost 12 months to quietly get its Brexit ducks in a row and ensure a unified and detailed negotiating position, on behalf of the 27 member states, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Theresa May called the general election, she said, hoping for a strong mandate, to improve her hand at the Brexit negotiating table. This plan has backfired horribly. But Brussels is not rubbing its hands with glee. It wants Brexit done and over with. Yesterday. The EU has plenty more headaches to deal with: ongoing migration and eurozone problems, security concerns about Russia and an unpredictable US president... to name but a few. UK election result: How the world reacted Election 2017: Key points at-a-glance Brexit: All you need to know What the election result means for Brexit Brussels doesn't care what political flavour the new UK government has, it just wants a stable UK government, with a secure prime minister at its helm, who will stay in place for the duration of the negotiations and who won't waver and U-turn after agreements are made. A wobbly British premier, unable to make tough decisions and sell them at home, increases the possibility of no Brexit deal at all - the so-called cliff-edge scenario - and that would hurt both the EU and UK badly. Banks, businesses, ports and flights, the politically sensitive and economically significant Irish border, EU citizens living in the UK, UK citizens in the rest of the EU, UK healthcare - the list is endless UK-side. The EU's pressing concern is to get the UK to honour long-term financial commitments before it leaves, otherwise there'll be a yawning hole in Brussels' multi-annual budget. EU unity - currently so evident on the Brexit question - would evaporate in a flash if member states suddenly had a cat fight over having to pay extra, or receive less money, should the UK walk out without stumping up a considerable sum. On a day full of unanswered questions, one thing is certain: that clock is ticking. The UK formally launched the Brexit process back in March. It now has only until March 2019 to secure a divorce settlement, never mind decide future EU-UK trade and other relations. The later Brexit talks start, the less time there is to agree a deal. The UK can always request an extension to the negotiations; it could also ask to cancel the process and return to the EU fold - though no one in Brussels believes that likely to happen. But both those scenarios require unanimous approval by the 27 EU countries and the European Parliament. Theresa May's dream of providing strong and stable leadership is in tatters. But the political disarray in the UK has helped the EU in some quarters. It has dampened (though not extinguished) Eurosceptic rhetoric across the continent. And determination to protect the EU in a Brexit deal has united normally fractious EU member states - for now. Today, after so many of its own crises, the EU is feeling stronger and more stable than it has in a long time, thanks to Brexit.

The Argentine's first-half spot-kick was excellently saved by Fernando Pacheco after Gerard Pique was fouled. He gave them the lead after the break when his shot from Gerard Deulofeu's ball was deflected in, and scored a second from Jordi Alba's headed pass. Messi, who has scored a record 351 La Liga goals, had the chance for a hat-trick but his 20-yard shot hit the bar. Barca are set to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Demeble for a fee which could rise to 147m euros (£135.5m), subject to having a medical on Monday. They did bring on another summer signing, Paulinho, for his debut late on although the £36.4m recruit from Guangzhou Evergrande did not have time to make an impact. Alaves, who were beaten by Barca in last season's Copa del Rey final, brought on Enzo, the son of Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, for his debut in the second half.

Summarize this article: The defender scored in stoppage-time to snatch a 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Saturday to ensure the leaders stayed six points clear of their rivals. Real have not won the league title since 2012 under Jose Mourinho. "It's better to have it in our own hands than depend on others," said Spain international Ramos, 30. "We mustn't get carried away because there's still a long way to go in La Liga." Real have one more La Liga game at home to Deportivo La Coruna on 10 December before the European champions fly to Japan to compete at the 2016 Fifa Club World Cup. Barca finished one point ahead of Real to win the Spanish top-flight title last season. Saturday's result at the Nou Camp could be critical should the title race come down to head-to-head records. Real and Barcelona are scheduled to meet next in La Liga at the Bernabeu on 23 April 2017. Ramos, a World Cup winner in 2010, added: "The points difference is reward for the hard work we've been doing since the start of the season. "The hard work has reaped rewards and it's better to get one point than nothing at all. "We have to keep picking up points and maintaining the gap from Barcelona."
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has warned his team-mates not to get carried away despite the club's healthy lead at the top of La Liga.

Problem: Write an article based on this "The threat to Indonesia from militant groups is likely to remain active and high for the forseeable future, though recent attacks by supporters of the so-called Islamic State (IS) group show that their capacity for violence remains limited for now." Article: A: Four of the eight casualties in the Jakarta terror attack in January were the attackers themselves, and a suicide bomber in Surakarta on 5 July succeeded only in killing himself and injuring one police officer. This is quite a contrast with more devastating previous incidents, the worst of which were the Bali bombings in 2002, which killed more than 200 people. But regional authorities and terror experts believe IS has galvanised militancy in Indonesia again after a largely successful crackdown on terror networks there in recent years. Between 300 and 700 Indonesians are believed to have joined the group in Syria and Iraq over the past two years. In Hasakah province, Syria, they have combined with fighters from Malaysia to form their own unit, Majmu'ah al-Arkhabiliy, also known as Katibah Nusantara Daulah Islamiyah. IS has also stepped up its propaganda efforts targeting the South-East Asian region in recent months. Indonesians have appeared in two of its latest videos, threatening governments and police, and urging supporters to carry out attacks where they are if they cannot travel to the Middle East. Up to 30 Indonesian groups have pledged allegiance to IS and some have voiced ambitions to establish an official IS province in South-East Asia. While many top militant leaders have been either killed or captured, IS-inspired cells exist and are a continuing threat, influenced by leaders both at home and abroad. The Jakarta attackers are believed to have been directed by Indonesians based with IS in the Middle East, particularly one Bahrun Naim, as well as jailed local cleric Aman Abdurrahman, who is believed to lead a group called Jamaah Anshar Khilafah (JAK) from prison. The man who carried out the Surakarta bombing, Nur Rohman, is also believed to be a JAK member and to have links to Naim. The Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) issued a report earlier this year saying that competition between the leaders of local groups and Katibah Nusantara is likely to lead to further attacks. In addition, al-Qaeda is likely to have a continuing interest in Indonesia as well. The Jakarta attacks were claimed by IS but also preceded by a message from al-Qaeda specifically targeting Indonesians. Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the al-Qaeda-inspired group responsible for previous attacks has largely splintered, and its jailed leader Abu Bakar Bashir rowed back on a previous pledge of allegiance to IS. But it is believed to have been actively recruiting again. Membership is thought to be back up to about 2,000 - the level it was at before the Bali bombings - according to IPAC's director, Sidney Jones. The authorities have imprisoned some 800 militants and killed more than 100 since the Bali bombings. But it has not had a great amount of success reforming them. Hundreds of militants - some with significant battlefield experience - are due to be released from prison in the coming years, and they may bolster the current ranks of jihadists. Taufik Andrie, the executive director of Yayasan Prasasti Perdamaian, an institute that helps paroled militants, estimates that some 40% of 400 militants released as of December, for example, have returned to their radical network. Security analysts have also questioned the authorities' ability to curb the influence of jailed jihadist leaders and the support that mosques and Islamic schools might provide to militants. Indonesia is also attempting to tighten its anti-terrorism laws: to more clearly define terrorism and make it illegal to join militant groups like IS, enable police to detain people who support terrorist groups, and to enable them to hold terror suspects for longer periods - all issues that police say are hampering their jobs at the moment.

Article:The deals with Russia, the US and South Korea were unlawful, the court ruled. The government failed to hold public hearings and a parliamentary debate over its plans, it added. Environmental groups said they welcomed the ruling, pointing out it came on the eve of the anniversary of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The government has not yet commented on the ruling, in a case brought by the Earthlife Africa and the Southern African Faith Communities' Environment Institute (SAFCEI). Its plan to build eight nuclear plants at an estimated cost of around 1tn rand ($76bn; £59bn) has been dogged by controversy. Critics fear the deal will be unaffordable and plagued by corruption, and suspect that Finance Minister Pravin Gordan was sacked by President Jacob Zuma last month because he had serious reservations about it. "In the past few weeks citizens have demonstrated their willingness to mobilise against corruption and the capture of our state. The nuclear deal is at the centre of it all." SAFCEI official Siphokazi Pangalele said in a statement. Concerns about the affordability of the deal contributed to global rating agency Fitch's decision on 7 April to downgrade South Africa to "junk status". The government says it needs new nuclear power stations to meet South Africa's growing electricity demand, and to move away from relying on coal-fire plants. The country currently has one nuclear plant. It had reached preliminary agreements with Russia, the US and South Korea to build eight more, AFP news agency reports. Environmental groups say South Africa should rely more on renewable energy to meet its electricity needs. Summarize the main points of that article.
A South African court has annulled initial agreements the government reached with three countries to help it build nuclear power stations.

Problem: Article: Its 840 office-based employees will move from Croydon to Gatwick by the end of the year. It said it had been seeking a new head office in Croydon for "several years" but it had proved "very difficult". Croydon Council said it was "deeply disappointed" having offered an "attractive" relocation package. In a statement, the company, whose products include Kit Kat, Nescafe and Smarties, said it had proved difficult to either redevelop the current offices in Croydon - locally known as "Nestle Tower" - or identify a suitable new place. The new head office will be at 1 City Place Gatwick, about 15 miles away. Paul Grimwood, chairman and CEO of Nestle UK & Ireland, said: "This move represents an exciting new chapter for Nestle in the UK." Nestle said no redundancies would be made as part of the move. Croydon Council said that Nestle had chosen a type of office accommodation that it could not match - a low-rise building on a business park campus next to an international airport. As part of a package to try to keep the multinational company, the council said it had offered to buy its existing buildings. It said its priority was to work with the company to ensure that as many Croydon residents' jobs as possible were protected. Council leader Mike Fisher said: "Ultimately we have to respect the fact that Nestle are a footloose global company and can choose where they locate their business." Matthew Sims, general manager of Croydon Chamber of Commerce, said it was a "blow to Croydon and its local economy" but it remained a great place for businesses. Crawley Borough Council, Gatwick's local authority, said the move to City Place was "absolutely fantastic news". Nestle employs 7,000 people across 19 sites in the UK and Ireland.

Mr Sheehan knows the couple who were shot several times when a gang of masked and armed men entered their family home in Turf Lodge on Thursday night. He said the threat "beggars belief". "It is despicable that this man and woman were shot in their own home in the first place. They have done absolutely nothing wrong unlike the armed gang who shot them."

Island MP Andrew Turner told the House of Commons the council's future was "not secure". Communities Secretary Greg Clark said he would visit the island and consider its special circumstances. The Independent-run Isle of Wight Council faces a predicted budget gap of about £32m over the next four years. Council leader Jonathan Bacon previously said he was "incensed" at not being included in "transitional" funding for councils hardest hit by cuts announced in February and, without special consideration, the council would "simply not be able to provide statutory services in the future". Conservative Andrew Turner told MPs on Wednesday: "The future of the Isle of Wight Council beyond this year was not secure. Money is in short supply but when there is not so much to go round it is then that resources must be shared most fully." Mr Clark blamed a funding formula inherited from the Labour government which the coalition could not agree to change. "This government is determined to build a fair settlement for local government and the review will consider the costs associated with being separated from the mainland," he said. Welcoming the secretary of state's comments, Mr Bacon said he was concerned there were no timescales to completing this review. "I cannot see any way the council can set a lawful, balanced budget for 2017/18 based on the current planned funding allocations from government. "Public services on the island are under increasing and unique pressure, due to increasing demands for our services, increasing burdens imposed by government and a raft of other limitations that being an island brings," he said.

[[The government has agreed to review funding for the Isle of Wight following warnings its council may not be able to provide essential services in future.]]

Omar al-Dalemey peers at the map on his phone, trying to recall from which cove they departed. "It was pitch-black - the smuggler just told us where to meet," he says. Finally he remembers, pointing to a spot on the Bodrum coastline. "It was there". We arrive, and he and his parents walk towards the rocks. "The boat could hold 10 people," he says, "but we were 17. We had lifejackets. The man said he'd hand them to us when we got into the boat. But as we boarded, he threw them away. If we died, he didn't want any trace of us." Omar and his brother Bakr were among the passengers. Sunni Muslims from Iraq, they were fleeing persecution in Baghdad. More than half of the refugees to Europe are Syrian - but there are plenty of other nationalities too. And as the European Commission outlines plans for a quota of migrants for EU countries, we met some of those from other nations beginning their journey in Bodrum. "The waves grew higher, water came into the boat and we capsized," says Omar, staring out to sea. "We swam for a long time and suddenly I couldn't see my brother anymore. When the coastguard arrived, all I could think about was Bakr's safety." For a week, there has been no sign of 17-year-old Bakr. His family have combed the coastline - even visiting the mortuary. Did he make it to Greece? Was he arrested? Or something worse? Their father breaks down beside us, covering his face to hide the tears. "I wish I was the one dead - and that he's still alive," says Omar. Their mother, Nawal, is locked in the unbearable state of not knowing. And, amid the vastness of the Aegean Sea, she may never find out. "Bakr was the sweetest of us all," she says, sobbing. "Smart and handsome. Can you imagine losing the most precious thing you have?" She looks out to the area where the boat capsized. "I will stay here until I find him," she says. The number of nightly departures from Bodrum appears to have slightly decreased after police stepped up patrols here in the wake of the Alan Kurdi tragedy. The body of the three-year-old boy was washed up in Bodrum - the photograph of the little boy lying dead on the beach shocked the world. But beside the central bus station, crowds still gather, waiting for the chance to flee. The nationalities come together here seeking shelter: Afghans in one corner, Somalis in another. Perched on bits of cardboard are a Pakistani couple who sold their home to pay the smuggler. He has now disappeared with their money. The woman, Shabana Waqaz, is due to give birth in a week. "It took us a month to reach here and now our agent has run away with our $2,000 (£1,300, €1,794)," she says. "We're stuck here - we can't go on and we can't go back. I have no medical care for the baby; I don't know how I will deliver. "All we wanted was the chance of a better future for our children." As the sun sets on the Bodrum peninsula, the old castle is silhouetted, the holidaymakers pack up for the day - and the smugglers ply their trade. They have willing customers from every stricken nation here. Some will never make it, caught in a no-man's-land of the refugee crisis or engulfed by the rough waters. But they will still try. Because, from the shores of Bodrum, the dreams of Europe burn bright. What was that article about?
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Turkey's Bodrum peninsula - where the body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi was washed up last week - meets those desperate enough to risk their lives crossing to Greece.

Write an article based on this "Northern Ireland's five education and library boards will cease to exist at midnight."
Their replacement has been contested and after seven years of missed deadlines, a solution has been agreed. The Education Authority - one very large board - starts operations on 1 April. The original idea of a single Education and Skills Authority (ESA) for Northern Ireland was abandoned after seven years of fruitless negotiation. The Education Authority is a more modest organisation than planned, and is really one very large board, rather than a completely new concept. However, it will streamline the provision of education services and save some of the money that was spent on too many boards with duplicated jobs and services. Gavin Boyd will lead the new Education Authority as its interim chief executive. It will have an annual budget of £1.5bn and a total of 37,000 employees. It will be responsible for education administration such as transport, teacher support, building and catering. But the main union for office staff has warned that the authority will begin life facing immediate cuts of £10m.

Article: In 2008, nearly a third of five-year-olds in England - 177,423 in all - suffered tooth decay. By 2015, it had dropped to a quarter. But health experts say more steps must be taken to help youngsters look after their teeth. They recommend limiting sugary food and drink and regular trips to the dentist. And children should brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Currently, an estimated 166,467 five-year-olds - less than a quarter - suffer from tooth decay. But while there has been improvement nationally, experts say there is a great deal of regional variation. The highest rates of tooth decay were found among children living in the North West of England, and the lowest in the South East. Dr Sandra White, director of dental public health at Public Health England, said having healthy teeth was important for children, both for their health and their confidence. "Our faces are quite a mirror to us, and we you smile with a nice smile it makes a big difference when we start school." How to brush your teeth properly She said the downward trend in tooth decay was welcome, and was probably down to parents and society being more aware of the impact of sugar on teeth. "Parents have a key role in this. They need to watch what their children are eating and particularly drinking." She said children were consuming three times the amount of sugar that they should be having, and a lot of that is coming from sugary drinks. "It would be wonderful if everybody gave their children water and low fat milks." But she accepted that, realistically, it might be quite difficult for parents to achieve.

Article: Johnny Lewis, who was in The O.C. but was most famous for his role in US TV drama the Sons of Anarchy, is thought to have fallen or jumped to his death from where he lived near Hollywood. Police went to the house in the Los Feliz area of the city on Wednesday. The body of 81-year-old Catherine Davis was found inside. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Commander Andrew Smith said: "She was possibly beaten, although coroner's officials will determine the exact cause of death." Neighbours are reported to have heard a woman screaming at the property. The 28-year-old actor had rented a room from Catherine Davis for a short period of time. "Although there are no witnesses, he is suspected of killing her," Commander Smith said. "No-one was at home at the time and the investigators were not seeking anyone else for the crime." Neighbours also told officers that a man had jumped a fence, assaulted a painter and homeowner and jumped back. Police said they were both treated for minor injuries. Commander Smith said: "At some point, Johnny jumped or fell from the home's roof, garage, balcony, stairs or patio area." It is not yet clear how he died. Johnny Lewis had a criminal record and earlier this year was treated for drug, alcohol and psychiatric problems. He was released from Los Angeles County jail a week ago, according to the county sheriff's website. The star, whose full name was Jonathan Kendrick Lewis, was romantically linked with Katy Perry from 2006 for about 18 months. It's thought two of her songs The One That Got Away and Circle the Drain were inspired by him. His acting career spanned more than a decade, with mainly small roles. He was best known for playing Kip Epps in US cable TV show the Sons of Anarchy, which was about a motorcycle gang. In The O.C. he played Dennis "Chili" Childress for two seasons. More prominent film roles included a part in film Aliens vs Predator - Requiem in 2007 and the 2010 movie The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart. "It's a terrible tragedy," added Commander Smith.

The Scottish government announced earlier this month it would use new welfare powers to make payments of the reserved benefit more frequent and adaptable. Responding to a parliamentary question by SNP MSP Graeme Dey, Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman said between 650,000 and 700,000 households could benefit from the changes by 2022. Mr Dey said: "While the majority of social security powers remain reserved to Westminster, we're determined to use our powers to make the system fairer where we can. "These reforms will provide the flexibility that claimants have told us they need, and in doing so it will help hundreds of thousands of families to manage their household budgets." Opposition parties have claimed that the Scottish government has been too slow to make use of its new devolved powers. ++++++++++ Summarize:

The website said it had received complaints from some customers that they had been told to pay up to £60 for switching, despite being within the 49-day period. It is not known whether anyone actually paid the fees. British Gas said it would co-operate with the inquiry, but gave no further comment. Ofgem said that it would also be looking at whether British Gas had obeyed the rules which oblige them to write to customers on fixed deals, telling them they are about to expire. However it said the opening of the investigation did not imply that they had made any findings of non-compliance. MoneySavingExpert said that it had received similar complaints about Npower at the end of last year, and subsequently about E.On. Ofgem said it was talking to both companies about their exit fees, but they were not part of the inquiry. News of the investigation was welcomed by MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis. "The rules are very plain; you cannot and should not be charged exit penalties if your switchover takes place within the last 49 days of your energy fix," he said. "At least two firms - British Gas and Npower - have wrongly put that they would charge in their official literature. At best they are careless in the way they treat customers; at worst that they are trying to bully them into staying with misinformation." Summarize. output: British Gas is to be investigated by energy regulator Ofgem for potentially misleading customers over fees for switching to other providers. Question: Article:Northampton back-rower Harrison, 23, was born in New Zealand and qualifies for England through his father. Both players are hoping to impress ahead of summer tours, with Wales visiting world champions New Zealand and England in Australia. "He is a very powerful ball-carrier, and he will test me," Moriarty said. "I played against him in my first game for Gloucester Academy against Northampton. "I came off the bench in the last 20 minutes of that game. It was my first experience of English rugby, and it was tough. "He was one of their main players - a very powerful ball-carrier and tackler. He was here, there and everywhere, and he is still the same sort of player. "I think I ran over him on a one-on-one. He may have been a bit more tired, while I was fresh off the bench, but it was a good night for me." St Helens-born Moriarty, whose father Paul and uncle Richard both played for Wales, underlined his potential when he featured off the bench and scored two tries during Wales' Six Nations win against Italy in March. In the absence of captain Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric this weekend, Moriarty will link up with Dan Lydiate and Taulupe Faletau in the Welsh back row. "This is going to be a good test for us on Sunday, going into the first Test with the All Blacks on 11 June," Moriarty added. "We are going to try to play at the intensity that we will need against New Zealand, so it's a good opportunity to test ourselves. "It is really competitive in the back-row. Even without Justin Tipuric here, we have three British and Irish Lions Test back-rowers [including Warburton]. "It is hard to break a mould that has been there for a few years, but it's great for me to learn off them, watch how they train and pick up little things off each of them to make me a better player. "Toby [Faletau] is one of the best, if not the best, number eights in the world, and he is only 25 years old. "It's nice to be able to train with him, watch what he does and try to replicate some of the things he does and add to my game." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Wales' Ross Moriarty is relishing his battle with rival blind-side flanker and England debutant Teimana Harrison at Twickenham on Sunday.

Q: The formal process to hand over a range of devolved powers to the city region was negotiated at a meeting of the Combined Authority. It signed an order which changes the authority's governance arrangements, and lays out the powers to be given to the Metro Mayor after May's election. The order will now be submitted to Parliament for final approval. The Combined Authority is made up of the five Merseyside councils - St Helens, Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral - plus Halton in Cheshire and the local enterprise partnership. From May, it will be chaired by an elected Metro Mayor. In order to change the governance arrangements from the current Combined Authority to a Mayoral Combined Authority, enabling the powers to be devolved to the Combined Authority, a Parliamentary Order needs to be passed. All councils in the Combined Authority need to agree to this, and Liverpool's cabinet have become the last to approve it. The order will be submitted to parliament next week and debated by both houses before being implemented in time for the Metro Mayor election. The Combined Authority will be responsible for transport, planning and economic growth. However, the Green Party has expressed concerns that the scope could expand to include other functions currently carried out by local councils, and has called the move a "power grab". Mayor Joe Anderson, chair of the Combined Authority, said those claims were "inaccurate and misleading" and "no powers would be moved to the City Region from councils, without those councils agreeing first." The Department for Communities and Local Government said this could only happen with government consent and consultation with local communities. A: Powers to be given to Liverpool City Region's Metro Mayor next year have been agreed by the area's six councils. Q: The German was leading Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes when he was pitted during a virtual safety car period and switched to a two-stop strategy. Hamilton stayed on a one-stop and went on to a controlled victory. "I will always defend it. We have very good people and I don't want them criticised," Vettel said. Team principal Maurizio Arrivabene admitted Ferrari's strategists had made an error. "We overestimated the degradation of the tyres," Arrivabene said. "This is the reason we called him in. It was the wrong decision." But when asked whether he would have won had Ferrari stayed on a one-stop, Vettel said: "Possibly. I have to look. With hindsight it is always very easy, but then the car behind has the possibility to take a bit more risk. "It is not like we had a lot of pace on them. Maybe here and there we could have done some things better but I will always defend what we did." Ferrari had their most competitive race of the season after a series of grands prix in which they have hit trouble for various reasons, whether it be reliability problems, strategic errors or a general lack of pace. Listen: Sebastian Vettel makes sensational start This came after a new turbocharger design gave them a clear step forward in performance. Vettel praised the progress Ferrari had made, pointing back to their winless season in 2014 which persuaded Fernando Alonso to leave the team and opened up the seat for Vettel to take in 2015 after he decided to leave Red Bull. "I tried absolutely everything, arguably a bit too much here and there, but we desperately wanted to win," Vettel said. "We didn't but we showed we had a very good weekend. "The car is quick, it has potential, which has been argued here and there. We are moving forward with a lot of confidence and I think the team is on a great path. "Look where the car and engine were in 2014 and look where we are now. "The team is making immense progress and we are challenging an opponent who two years ago was supposed to be untouchable. "We had a good start but we had good pace. Some races ago we were far from that. It will be tight but there will be a point when we start to be ahead." A: Sebastian Vettel has defended the strategy decision that cost him the lead - and arguably victory - in the Canadian Grand Prix. Q: The five-year-old has been receiving post-operative radiotherapy at the Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) in Prague since 15 September. In a statement, NHS England said it was "clearly best" he continued to be treated "uninterrupted". His 30-session treatment is due to last six weeks. Ashya's parents, Brett and Naghemeh King, from Southsea, were briefly detained after taking him out of the country for cancer treatment. They wanted him to have proton beam therapy, which was not recommended by doctors who were originally caring for him at Southampton General Hospital. A police hunt was sparked when they removed him from hospital in Southampton on 28 August after disagreeing with doctors. They were arrested in Spain and spent several days away from their son, reuniting once the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew the European arrest warrant. The family was flown by private jet to Prague ahead of Ashya's treatment at the PTC. The NHS statement read: "Our thoughts are with Ashya and his family as he begins follow-on radiotherapy. "Now that Ashya is in Prague, it is clearly best that Ashya continues to be treated uninterrupted so the NHS has agreed to fund this care, as requested by his parents, in accordance with relevant European cross-border arrangements. "We all join in wishing him well, and greatly hope he makes a full and successful recovery." The treatment is a type of radiation therapy that uses beams of protons - or small parts of atoms - rather than high energy X-rays, as with conventional radiotherapy. A: The NHS has agreed to fund the care of brain tumour patient Ashya King who is undergoing proton beam treatment at a Czech clinic. Q: The fighter was sentenced last December after pleading guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris. The judge delayed his jail time to allow him to fight Miguel Cotto on 5 May. He won the fight, for which he reportedly received $32m. Rapper 50 Cent was at the Las Vegas courtroom with Mayweather, and said the boxer would be "all right". At the time of sentencing, the judge had told the court she was particularly concerned that Mayweather had attacked and threatened Ms Harris while two of their children were present. The assault took place in 2010. Mayweather has been involved in a string of criminal cases for violence since 2002. He is widely regarded as one of the world's best boxers, and has won all 43 of his professional fights. A:
US world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has begun a three-month jail term for domestic violence.

Summarize: Standing out in a field of green are more than 46,000 solar panels tapping the power of the bright sunlight and converting it into energy. Located in the southern state of Kerala, Cochin is now the first airport in the world to run completely on solar power. The airport started with a small pilot project by installing a solar energy plant with 400 panels on its rooftop in 2013. When that experiment succeeded, it decided to go all the way. In August this year, the airport became totally self sufficient in meeting its energy needs after it installed a 12 megawatt solar plant close to the cargo terminal. The airport's managing director VJ Kurian says it was the huge power bills that prompted them to look at greener solutions. The airport, which is the seventh busiest in India handling more than 1,000 flights a week, consumes nearly 48,000 units costing 336,000 rupees ($5,160; £3,364) every day. Today, with its solar power plant it produces more energy than it needs and banks the rest with the state power grid for rainy days and night-time requirements. Mr Kurian says airports across the country have approached him to learn more about the "Cochin model". A team from Liberia is also interested to learn more about harnessing the sun's energy. The installation of the solar plant cost nearly $9.5m (£6.27m) and took around six months to complete. The company is hopeful of recouping the costs in less than six years. So far it has been a smooth journey for the airport, says Mr Kurian. The challenge though is just around the corner. The airport is looking to inaugurate a new international wing in January comprising nearly 1.5m sq ft which will require more energy than what the existing plant is generating. Additional solar panels will have to be set up if the authorities wants to hang onto the "first fully solar powered airport" tag. Cochin may have shown the way forward but the rest of India is not far behind in tapping the vast potential of the sun. As most parts of the country receive sunshine for over 300 days a year, the possibilities are plenty. Recognising this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has outlined his vision of increasing the country's solar power capacity to 100,000 megawatts by 2022. This is a dream that can be realised by having photovoltaic panels on the rooftop of every home in India, generating enough power to reduce the country's massive fuel bill and dependence on fossil fuels. Solar energy is also a much cleaner source of energy than conventional forms of energy like thermal and nuclear. Considering the global debate on climate change, developing economies like India with its ever increasing need for energy to fuel growth can turn to the sun to power ahead. But it is not a simple process, despite the presence of abundant sunshine. As Ashish Khanna, chief of Tata Power Solar points out, "We don't have the [electricity] grid stability which can take the kind of power we are talking about. Also the quality of power is important." "We in India are very cost conscious and when we are talking about rooftop power, people may take decisions involving inexpensive pieces of equipment that may not contribute to the kind of quality we are talking about. The challenge right now is that there are no standards in place." Meanwhile, the solar plant at Cochin airport will produce 18 million units of power from the sun annually which is enough to meet the energy needs of 10,000 homes for one year. The bonus is the environmental benefit of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 300,000 metric tonnes which is equal to planting three million trees or not driving 750 million miles. In a country where more than 300 million people still have no access to power, going solar may just be the solution that is needed to light up their lives.

input: Article: The EY Scottish Item Club has predicted "below-par" GDP growth of 0.9% in 2017 - half of that expected for the UK. It suggested the retail sector would be worst hit by "mounting pressure" on consumers. Employment in Scotland is also forecast to continue to fall this year. In 2017, it is expected to drop by 0.1%, followed by further decreases of 0.5% and 0.3% in 2018 and 2019 respectively. However, manufacturing output is predicted to grow in line with the overall economy for the first time since 2013, as weaker sterling and a pick-up in global demand "ultimately provide a boost to exports". The item club said Scottish households were "likely to endure a fall in real incomes" this year as a result in part of rising inflation and "weak" labour market conditions. It expects consumer spending to rise by just 1% in 2017, and by less than 1% per year between 2018 and 2020. This compares with an average annual rate of 2.3% over the past five years. The forecaster said this reflected "a significant loss of momentum from a key driver of the Scottish economy". It expects Scottish growth to slow a little in 2018 to 0.7% before gradually accelerating to around 1.4% by the end of the decade. However, it predicts that throughout this period, the Scottish economy will grow more slowly than the UK. Dougie Adams, senior economic advisor to the EY Scottish Item Club, described the Scottish economy as being "stuck in the slow lane". He said: "As flagged in previous EY Scottish Item Club reports, one factor is the ending of the outsized contribution to GDP growth from construction as many of the big-ticket public sector-funded infrastructure projects near completion." He added: "Consumer spending, which last year proved surprisingly resilient and helped buoy the economy, is fading. "A weak labour market and rising inflation is putting further pressure on incomes and recent research reveals that households expect worsening economic conditions. "All of this means consumers are likely to be more cautious." EY's chief economist for UK and Ireland, Mark Gregory, said: "Scotland's economy is showing signs of slowing faster than the rest of the UK which sends a clear message that business and government will have to work harder and smarter to achieve sustained growth. "The economy has to rebalance and shift away from a reliance on public-funded major infrastructure projects. "Sector diversification is also required to help move away from an over-reliance on the oil and gas, construction and financial services sectors." He added: "Stimulating business investment in Scotland both in terms of physical assets and skills could deliver extensive, long-term economic benefits. "This presents an opportunity for public and private sectors to define a new way of working together in order to drive further economic growth. "Business investment is imperative to the long-term health and growth of the Scottish economy but is currently subdued. "Government can help de-risk investment by supporting the development of skills and infrastructure that businesses need so that companies can feel confident they can maximise their investment." Meanwhile, a separate report has suggested improving labour market conditions in Scotland. The latest IHS Market Report on Jobs for Scotland found that last month there were sharp rises in worker placements, record growth in permanent staff demand and falling availability. In terms of staff demand, the data signalled the fastest rate of expansion in the survey's 14-year history, with growth faster in Scotland than across the UK as a whole. Scottish recruitment consultancies also recorded further steep growth in demand for temporary staff. Sector data indicated that staff demand rose fastest in the IT and Computing sector for both permanent and temporary roles. Meanwhile, the rate of expansion in permanent staff placements in Scotland reached its highest in 27 months as growth matched the UK as a whole, which was at a 25-month high. Summarize. output: Scotland's economy is showing signs of slowing faster than the rest of the UK as consumer spending fades and firms remain reluctant to invest, according to a report. input: Article: Proposals for the Cairngorms include affordable hoursing, increasing woodland, restoring peatland and investing in walking routes on Deeside and Speyside. The park covers parts of the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Perthshire, Angus and Moray. The plan was launched by Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham. She said: "Scotland's national parks conserve and enhance our rich natural and cultural heritage, while supporting the sustainable development local communities want and need. "That's why I am delighted to launch the Cairngorms plan, which sets out how that balance will be achieved between now and 2022, and which has been developed in full consultation with those same communities." The 4,528 sq km park is twice the size of the Lake District National Park and bigger than the whole of Luxembourg. A target to have 200 new affordable homes built by 2022 and delivering superfast broadband to "hard to reach" parts of the park also form part of the five-year plan. On a visit to the Cairngorms, Ms Cunningham also viewed the Still, an arts installation that acts as a marker on Snow Roads Scenic Route at Tomintoul. The route runs from Blairgowrie to Grantown on Spey via Braemar and Tomintoul and forms the highest public road in Britain, according to the Cairngorms National Park Authority.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Warwickshire averted the threat of a third successive loss, batting throughout the final day to salvage a draw with Surrey at Edgbaston." Article: A: Resuming with an overnight lead of 57 on 162-4, they lost Ian Bell when, having added 31 to his score to reach 99, the captain pushed forward to Gareth Batty and was caught behind. But the bottom side still bad plenty of batting left to reach safety on 435-8. Tim Ambrose (85) hit a half-century before Keith Barker's unbeaten 70. Barker completed his third half-century in six County Championship innings this season in adding an unbroken 91 for the ninth wicket with fellow paceman Chris Wright, who was still there on 36 when hands were shaken. Surrey's seamers, led by Tom Curran, who finished with 4-112 in the second innings and eight wickets in the match, persevered but they were blunted by a pitch which declined to deteriorate and a Warwickshire batting unit which, unlike in the first two games this season, declined to fold. Having resumed with the floodlights on and thick cloud around, bad light in Birmingham brought an early lunch and 10 overs were lost to rain. Following innings defeats by Surrey at The Oval and Yorkshire at Edgbaston, the Bears have at least stopped the rot and have also climbed off the foot of the table, where they have been replaced by Somerset. Warwickshire first-team coach Jim Troughton told BBC WM: "It was a much-improved performance. We have come off the back of two quite damaging defeats and times like that are a true test of individuals and collectively as a team. "We spoke very honestly on the third evening against Yorkshire when we knew the game was gone and we needed to sit down and address a few things. "We have had a much better four days and are still not perfect by any means but, after a 100-run deficit in the first innings, we showed a lot of skill and character in the third innings. "It was a good to see the guys bat well. Sometimes, the more you try the harder it can become. Sometimes you just need to relax that little bit. The way Ian Bell and Tim Ambrose batted was a good example of that." Surrey coach Michael Di Venuto told BBC Radio London: "Warwickshire played really well. There's no doubt about that. We tried our hardest and threw everything at them and it wasn't enough. "Over the whole game there was some outstanding stuff from us and some very average stuff. We were slow to start the game and took two sessions to get it together. "We then took seven wickets for 69 to finish it off which was a brilliant comeback. With the bat, we got ourselves into a great position but it was disappointing the way we finished off there. "It was a really mixed performance. The good stuff was excellent but there was some average stuff with both bat and ball." Problem: Write an article based on this "Scotland's economy will continue to grow this year but there are potential challenges ahead, according to a respected business survey." Article: A: Scottish Chambers of Commerce's latest quarterly economic indicator has suggested most businesses have a positive outlook for the coming months. However, firms also highlighted longer-term threats to success. They included factors such as falling real incomes and rising recruitment problems. The report, released in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Institute, covers the key sectors of construction, financial and business services, manufacturing, retail and tourism. It said construction and manufacturing firms reported strong results during the quarter, with the latter experiencing an increase in staffing levels. Tourism businesses also suggested there had been an increase in employment, with visitor numbers up over the quarter. Meanwhile, firms in finance and business services reported a further improvement in sales, with a net balance of firms reporting sales growth at its highest for two years. However, almost half of retail companies saw a decline in profit levels over the quarter, with increased pressure to raise prices. More than half said they expected to increase prices over the next three months. Neil Amner, from Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said the retail sector was "perhaps most exposed" to pressures on household budgets. He added: "Consumer demand drives around three-quarters of Scotland's economic growth, so unless the recent falls in real earnings are reversed, there is a risk that the impact could spread to the wider economy. "There is also evidence that the low unemployment rate may be impacting on businesses' ability to recruit the talent they need. "Those recruitment pressures underline the need for early agreement on the rights of existing EU workers to live and work in the UK and for the UK's future migration policy to be driven by business need." Economy Secretary Keith Brown said the report showed "encouraging signs" for Scotland's private sector. He said: "Our unemployment rate is at a record low, the productivity gap with the UK is closing, we achieved a record breaking year for foreign investment projects in Scotland during 2016, and our economy achieved growth of 0.8%, the highest quarterly rate since 2014. "While we of course recognise the continuing economic challenges, with Brexit in particular a worrying issue, the Scottish government will continue to use all its powers to grow the economy, including our £500m investment in the Scottish Growth Scheme designed to transform our country's businesses and skills." A total of 465 firms responded to the survey, which was conducted between 23 May and 12 June. Problem: Write an article based on this "Comedian Jack Dee has been announced as the new host of the Apprentice spin-off show You're Fired, replacing Dara O'Briain." Article: A:
O'Briain announced in January he was stepping down after five years on the show, to spend more time on his comedy. Dee will preside over the experts and audience as they pick apart Alan Sugar's candidates, and the outgoing contestant, each week. Comic Romesh Ranganathan will also join the show as a regular panellist. Dee has his own experience of the main show after taking part in Comic Relief Does The Apprentice in 2009. He said he was "very much looking forward to hosting You're Fired" and hoped "that the luckless candidates will see me as the friendly face at the end of a difficult time in their lives". Romesh Ranganathan said he was very excited as he is a "massive fan" of The Apprentice. "I love You're Fired and am looking forward to putting all the questions to the candidates that people at home want to see asked. "I also have a number of business proposals of my own that I think Lord Sugar will be pretty interested in…" The Apprentice and You're Fired return later this year. The main show will also have a new look, as Nick Hewer has departed from his role as Lord Alan's right hand man. He announced in December he would be stepping down after 10 years on the series. His replacement will be Claude Littner - a former Amstrad director, who viewers will know as the interrogator who ruthlessly tears apart candidates CVs during the interview stage of the reality show.

Signs have appeared at three junctions but the parish council and castle said they did not know who put them up. The signs have been well-received by people commenting on the village Facebook group. One wrote: "Well I for one would like to say thank you to the peacock sign putter-upper, these signs make me smile every time I see them, and they help keep Percy safe." Another asked: "Do we have any fast peacocks?" Jeremy Goldsmith, co-owner of Mountfitchet Castle, said: "There's a real love for the peacocks in the village, although we get the occasional complaint during mating season because Percy can become quite vocal." The signs "suddenly appeared" overnight, he said. It is thought they were installed late last week. "Sadly we lost one of our peacocks on a village road in January and It think some good-natured person just took it on themselves to have the signs made up," Mr Goldsmith said.

Text: The company said the shops were "not viable" even if they could have negotiated cheaper rents. Store Twenty One has secured a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) - a form of insolvency - with landlords. That deal will allow the company, founded in 1932, to pay less rent on more than 100 of its remaining stores. The arrangement, struck last week, will save about 1,200 full-time jobs, the company said. Pravin Soni, director of Store Twenty One, said it had been a "very difficult time" for staff, but that the firm looked forward to making the business "a success for many years to come". James Keates, restructuring partner at Shoosmiths law firm, said the "complex arrangement" would make the business healthier and save hundreds of jobs. The group's Bewise and QS businesses have already called in administrators. The retailer was originally known as Quality Seconds, and then QS, but was rebranded as Store Twenty One after being acquired by Indian textiles group Grabal Alok in 2007. The CVA for Store Twenty One is the latest hurdle for the High Street and comes in the wake of the BHS collapse, with the loss of up to 11,000 jobs. summary:

Petar Stoykov said it took six days to bake and assemble the Welcombe Hotel out of butter, flour, eggs, sugar and spices. So is the art of creating the country's landmarks in gingerbread a new craze? Frances Quinn. winner of The Great British Bake Off 2013, said: "Gingerbread and baking sculptures are quite literally growing and the enthusiasm for GBBO and baking has a lot to do with the surge in sugar-related sculptures." Earlier this year she created a model of Europe's tallest building, The Shard, in gingerbread alongside other London landmarks including the BT Tower and the London Eye. Gingerbread itself is even older than the cathedrals and castles talented cooks have started creating, according to food writer Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat. She said gingerbread originated in China as a kind of honey bread in the 10th Century. In Europe it was moulded and shaped for religious festivals like Easter and Christmas and these Christian links have been celebrated by Siobhan Harrison, who made a model of the former Coventry Cathedral out of gingerbread. Pupils at King's Bruton school in Somerset recreated Wells Cathedral for its edible display, which also included a gingerbread Glastonbury Festival, Roman Baths and Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge. Gingerbread sculpture is believed to have started in Germany, according to food writer Victoria Japlon, but decorating gingerbread houses did not take hold until the publishing of Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. In that 19th Century folktale two children were trapped by a witch who had a house made of gingerbread and sweets. Even before this story, many English towns already laid claim to producing unique variations of gingerbread. These are still sold in Market Drayton, Shropshire, Grantham, Lincolnshire, and Grasmere, Cumbria. Gingerbread certainly has a history that endures, but what will happen to the less durable creations of our well-loved landmarks? Tanya Aspinwall, representing the Welcombe Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, said: "I don't think it would be very edible in the new year - probably a bit soft." No such fears were voiced for Mrs Harrison's Coventry Cathedral creation, which she said was thoroughly enjoyed by her daughters Matilda and Jemima. Summarize. output: As an 8ft (2.4m) gingerbread chimney is erected for a food festival this weekend in London, bakers around the UK are creating edible landmarks in the name of Christmas, commerce and craft. input: Article: The ECB is keen to play a full round of four-day games under the format, before the first day-night test in England, when England face West Indies in August 2017 at Edgbaston. Yorkshire are keen to stage a game. Glamorgan won the ever first day-night game played in the Championship. They beat Kent by eight wickets at Canterbury in September 2011. But the late-season experiment was not a success in attracting a big crowd and received mixed reviews from players. Day-night June fixtures could prove more popular with spectators. The ECB will release a draft version of the 2017 fixture schedule to clubs in mid-November 2016, before its publication later in the month. Summarize. output: Glamorgan are waiting to find out whether they will stage one of the floodlit day-night Championship games likely to be staged in June 2017 using pink balls. input: Article: The plans had sparked outrage from teachers who feared some children would be labelled as failures on arrival at secondary school. Education Secretary Justine Greening said instead children would be offered support to catch up lost ground. She also assured teachers no new tests would be introduced before 2018. Additionally, the spelling and grammar test for seven-year-olds introduced in 2015-16 is to remain non-compulsory for schools next year. The changes come after a difficult academic year for the Department for Education over assessment. As new tests were introduced, teachers complained materials and information were slow to materialise and there were a number of leaks live test material. In a written statement, Ms Greening said: "Summer 2016 saw the first pupils taking the new assessments in English and mathematics at the end of primary school. "They were set against the new national curriculum, which has been benchmarked against what the highest-performing countries around the world are teaching their children. "As a result, the new assessments rightly raised the bar on what we expect pupils to have been taught by the age of 11, better preparing them for secondary school and beyond." But she said teachers had risen to that challenge with 66% of pupils meeting or exceeding the new "expected standard" in reading, 70% in maths and 74% in writing Ms Greening said: "The pace and scale of these changes has been stretching. "Our objective is to make sure that children are ready for the next stage of their education. "We know, and Ofsted inspectors understand, that the 2016 assessments and results mark a break with the past and are not comparable with the preceding years." In recognition of this, Ms Greening said no school would face any intervention, such as being taken over and turned into an academy, on the basis of these results alone. On the climb down over Year 7 resits, she said: "Rather, we will focus on the steps needed to ensure a child catches up lost ground. "High-quality resit papers will be made available for teachers to use if they wish, as part of their ongoing assessments. "In addition, we will introduce a targeted package of support to make sure that struggling pupils are supported by teachers to catch up in year 7." Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: "Under the Tories parents and teachers are struggling to navigate their way through the government's constant chopping and changing to exams and assessments. "The chaos surrounding results year on year is creating confusion for parents, who are struggling to identify how to support their child to improve, and extra bureaucracy for school leaders and teachers, who are finding it extremely difficult to plan ahead to ensure high quality education for children." Kim Johnson, president of National Association of Head Teachers, said: "Secondary leaders will welcome the government's plans to halt planned resits of Sats in Year 7. "These tests would not have helped children or teachers." Christine Keates, head of the Nasuwt teaching union, said: "It appears that the Secretary of State has now recognised the real challenges around statutory end of key-stage assessment. "The recognition that there were problems with the 2015/16 data, and that because of this no schools should face harsh sanctions solely on the basis of that data, is a welcome step towards relieving the pressure and anxiety some schools have been experiencing." Summarize. output:
Plans to make all children who fail their end-of-primary-school tests sit them again in secondary have been scrapped in a government U-turn.
