The home team kicked off 18 days of sport with a 1-0 victory over New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium. But events did not go so smoothly at Glasgow's Hampden Park, where the North Korean team walked off in protest after the South Korean flag was displayed beside players' names on a screen. Kick-off was delayed by an hour. London 2012 organisers have apologised. Earlier, an RAF Typhoon was scrambled at about 11:30 BST after a commercial airliner lost contact with air traffic control over airspace in the north of the UK, the Ministry of Defence said. The fighter was stood down after contact was restored. The MoD said it was not related to Olympic security and stressed the response was a standard procedure, although the plane flew out of Northolt where some Typhoons are based for the duration of the Games. Meanwhile, thousands of Games spectators are arriving in London, with Heathrow expected to have had its busiest day ever. And a public sector strike by border staff, due to take place on the eve of Friday's opening ceremony, has been called off by union officials. The first event of the Games saw long queues outside the Millennium Stadium, even after kick-off at 16:00 BST, as several hundred spectators had their bags checked. Stadium manager Gerry Toms apologised but said only spectators who had taken large bags had been delayed. He said every ticket-holder had been in the stadium by 16:04. Full schedule and results "The difficulty was that people didn't listen to the advice they were given on their tickets which said do not bring bags," he said. "There were people bringing rucksacks, people bringing shopping from the city centre and that slowed the process down." He agreed there had been "teething problems" and urged people to follow advice on what to bring. Parts of the stadium were empty but Games organisers said the number of tickets available for the event had been reduced from nearly 75,000 to 40,000 last week. Organisers said attendance across the two games at the stadium totalled 30,847. A spokesman described the attendance as "unprecedented" for women's football in the UK in recent years. Four other matches in the same competition also took place at Hampden Park and the City of Coventry Stadium. In other Olympics news: On Wednesday morning a public sector strike by border staff, due to take place on the eve of the opening ceremony, was called off by union officials. PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka announced the suspension after "major progress" in the dispute. The union had been planning the action in protest at job losses. Immigration and passport workers at Heathrow and other airports had been among those due to take action on Thursday. Mr Serwotka said 800 new jobs were to be created in the Border Agency and 300 in passport offices. Recruitment adverts had already been placed for the jobs at sites including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports, the union added. BBC News has also seen two internal Civil Service documents, each advertising 400 jobs in the Border Force. But a Home Office spokesman said: "We have made no concessions to the PCS and are not creating any new jobs in response to their threat of strike action." The spokesman said a recruitment drive for additional staff, which began in May, was part of existing plans to restructure the Border Force. "Unfortunately, due to an administrative error, a figure of 400 posts was repeated in both adverts by mistake. This will now be corrected," he said. The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said he understood the 800 figure had not been "signed off" by ministers before the adverts were published and the number of vacancies to be filled would be considerably lower. Mr Serwotka later responded by saying the Home Office's claim it mistakenly advertised 800 border jobs was "shambolic or a deliberate lie". He called for the advertised jobs to be honoured. Meanwhile, the Olympic Route Network (ORN), made up of 175 miles of roads connecting up the main Olympic venues across the country, has come into force. By Samantha DaltonBBC News A pathway of Olympic pictograms leads you through the landmarks of the South Bank of the River Thames, as tourists mingle with locals, and Olympic fever grips London. Families pose for pictures next to statues of the Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville. Each figure reflects the landmark next to which it is positioned. The most striking is Pirate Wenlock next to the Cutty Sark, or the stained-glasses themed Southwark Wenlock, next to the cathedral. Street performers ply their trade next to sporting graphics, hoping their tried and tested acts are greeted with new enthusiasm by this fresh audience. Hospitality centres for competing countries have sprung up around the city. Switzerland has taken over Glaziers Hall to showcase Swiss culture, offering free chocolate to passers-by. It is designed to make it easier for athletes and officials to get around the Games and has seen junctions blocked off, bus stops moved and parking bays suspended. As part of the ORN, designated Games Lanes in London are in operation between 06:00 BST and midnight and only open to VIPs, athletes and accredited media. Ordinary motorists going into the lanes face fines of £130. But the Games Lanes are intended to be flexible to traffic needs, resulting in confusion among motorists on the A40 in west London on Wednesday morning as electronic signs suggested they could use the lane, alongside fixed signs warning that the lane restriction was being enforced. Leon Daniels, Transport for London's managing director of surface transport, said people accidentally straying into the lanes would not automatically incur a fine. He said: "We don't want enforcement, we want compliance. Nobody will be harshly dealt with if the Games lane becomes activated after they pass it." What is a summary of this text?
The first event of the Olympics has taken place, ending in a win for Team GB in the women's football in Cardiff.

Text: At least 40 people died when the two-storey guesthouse for members of the Synagogue Church of All Nations collapsed on Friday. There is no official comment. Local officials have said additional floors were being added to the structure. Mr Joshua - also known as the Prophet - regularly preaches to vast crowds. The popular televangelist says a small plane had circled over the building four times before it collapsed on Friday afternoon and it may have been an attempt to kill him. "It was yesterday, Friday, as I was praying; they came to call me that there was an airplane hovering over the church. They said it is like it wanted to land," his statement said. He said about 30 minutes later, it came over the building several times. "About five minutes after, the building came down." He gave journalists a CCTV video clip of the alleged plane, urging them "to use their discretion to write on what they saw". Rescue officials say 130 people were pulled out of the rubble - some are being treated in local hospitals. Many foreigners are believed to have been there at the time. Mr Joshua's services, at a mega-church in Lagos's Ikotun district, are known for attracting thousands of people. Followers in Nigeria and abroad believe he has the gifts of healing and prophecy. summary:

Fell, who was the county's top scorer in the County Championship in 2015, had an operation in October after a tumour was discovered. "I got the results on 1 November and they broke the good news that it hadn't spread," the 22-year-old said. "It was really the best news that I could have hoped for." Fell is now back in training at New Road and is set to spend part of the winter in Australia playing grade cricket in Perth. Media playback is not supported on this device "I was quite lucky. I was fairly stupid in the fact I didn't get it checked straight away," Fell said. "When they did analyse the tumour, it was fairly big at the stage they operated. "I think if I had left it any longer and I had gone to Australia without being checked, who knows how bad it could have been. "Because I felt no different, that is why I didn't bother to get it checked sooner than I did." Fell has chosen not to follow up his operation with any further treatment on the advice of his specialist. "I was recommended by the professor I saw that if you can avoid chemotherapy it is definitely something I should do - especially as a sportsman - as the side effects and consequences can be quite severe," he said. "It is something I want to avoid. I've been told there is a 65% chance it is all clear and a 35% chance it can come back and if it comes back, it will most likely be in the next three months and then I would have to go through three cycles of chemotherapy as opposed to two now. "I've got back into training which has been a bit of a shock to the system this week but it's great to be back - playing cricket is the best thing about it." More on this story and others around Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Sum: Worcestershire batsman Tom Fell says he has been given the go-ahead to play next season after revealing he has had surgery for testicular cancer. Q: Mother Claudineia dos Santos Melo was nine-months pregnant when she was shot while passing a gunfight in a favela in Rio de Janeiro state. Baby Arthur was born in an emergency caesarean, but is now paraplegic. However, there is hope that he may make some recovery. Gynaecologist José Carlos Oliveira, who is monitoring Arthur's progress, called his survival "a miracle happening before our eyes". "Today, he is paraplegic, but anything can happen in the life of this child," he said, adding that he had never seen a case like it. The mother's brother, Leonardo dos Santos, echoed the sense of hope when talking to BBC Brazil. "I want to see the baby grown strong and walk and run alongside the family," he said. "The relatives here are all praying together." Ms Dos Santos, 28, was days away from her due date and shopping for nappies when she was struck while walking in Duque de Caxias, north-west of Rio de Janeiro city, on Friday. The bullet entered her hip and hit her unborn baby, causing injuries in a number of places including his spine. Ms Dos Santos is said to be in a stable condition, breathing without aid. The baby's father, Klebson da Silva, 27, has visited the pair in hospital and told local reporters that he was filled with hope after seeing "victorious" Arthur. Ms Dos Santos may give her testimony to police from hospital on Tuesday, according to O Globo newspaper. Police have said they think she was hit by criminals, and not by officials fighting against them. The case is under investigation. Rights groups say civilians can often run the risk of finding themselves in the crossfire during police operations against heavily-armed drug gangs, particularly in impoverished favelas. Deaths from stray bullets are a big problem in Brazilian cities. According to a survey in newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, 66 people were hit by stray bullets in the Rio metropolitan region from January to mid-May this year. Just over a third of those people died, said the paper. In June, a further 749 episodes of gunfire were registered in Greater Rio by the Cruzo Fogo app, which was developed by Amnesty International to map armed violence in the city. On Sunday, residents of favelas in Rio's north travelled to central Copacabana beach to protest against gun violence and call for peace in their neighbourhoods. Antonio Carlos Costa, founder of human rights group Rio de Paz, or Rio of Peace, told BBC Brazil the latest case has become a dramatic emblem for the cause. He said he felt the wider country, and the wider world, was largely indifferent to the problem. "These deaths do not mobilise the middle class because in the overwhelming majority of cases they take place in favelas," he said. "It is a pain of the poor, a misfortune suffered by the poor." A: A Brazilian baby who was shot in the womb by a stray bullet has been deemed a miracle for surviving and his family hope he will overcome injuries to walk one day. Article: The campaign is being led by Stoke-on-Trent South Labour MP Rob Flello, whose constituency neighbours the site of one the factories. The 20,000 workers at ROF Swynnerton became known as the Swynnerton Roses. Across the UK, about 1.5 million women worked in similar factories. Mr Flello said "recognition was long overdue". "Every day these women were putting their lives on the line for this country, producing the bullets and shells that were needed on the front-line," he said. "We've recognised the Bevan Boys, the Land Girls and so forth but we've never recognised the munitions workers and it's about time we put that right." In 2009, a tree was planted at the National Memorial Arboretum, near Alrewas in Staffordshire, in honour of the Swynnerton Roses. Mr Flello said their work and the work of the other women required a more "significant memorial" within the arboretum. Iris Aplin and Mary Taylor, who both worked at the Swynnerton factory, said their work should be remembered. "Everybody accepted the work because there was a war on and we were intent on helping our troops to win it, but it should be recognised," said 90-year-old Mrs Aplin. Mrs Taylor, also 90, said: "It was women at work which helped to win the war and because it was troops that were on the front-line, munitions workers have been overlooked." The factory the women worked in remained open until 1958. The site is now owned by the Army and is used as a training base. ++++++++++ Summarize:
A campaign has started to raise funds for a memorial for women who worked at munitions factories in World War II.

Problem: Article: The group, known as the "hooded men" were interned in 1971. Their lawyers were granted leave to seek a judicial review at the High Court in Belfast on Thursday. They are calling the chief constable, secretary of state and Department of Justice to account over alleged failures to order a full inquiry. Fourteen men said they were subjected to torture techniques after being held without trial back in 1971. They said they were forced to listen to constant loud static noise; deprived of sleep, food and water; forced to stand in a stress position and beaten if they fell. They said they were hooded and thrown to the ground from helicopters - despite being at near ground level, they had been told they were hundreds of feet in the air. In 1978, the European Court of Human Rights held that the UK had carried out inhuman and degrading treatment. However, the court fell short of defining this treatment as "torture". Last year, the Irish Government said it would ask the European Court to revise this judgement. Eleven of the men are now working with lawyers to secure a full inquiry. Separate proceedings have also been lodged by the daughter of Sean McKenna, another of the group whose death has been blamed on his treatment. Granting leave to seek a judicial review in both applications, Mr Justice Treacy ruled that they should proceed "in tandem". He listed the cases for full hearing over four days starting on 30 November. Answer: [[A group of men who said they were tortured in Northern Ireland have cleared the first stage in a battle to have their case fully investigated.]] Problem: Article: Ards Borough Council failed to appoint a contractor to undertake the work at the attraction in Portaferry, County Down, earlier this year. As a result, £214,000 promised by the Department of the Environment to secure the centre's future has been lost. The aquarium will now be closed until at least the end of the year. It is not clear when it will open again. Elaine Roddy, from Friends of Exploris, said the attraction should reopen its doors to the public, at least for the summer period. "We don't believe there is any reason why it can't be reopened," she said. "Most of the tanks are still operational. There are seals in the sanctuary at the moment. "We are embarrassed living in Portaferry and we don't know what is happening." Portaferry SDLP councillor Joe Boyle said the process had been a "total mess" and was "very disappointing". "While we thought the biggest battle was getting the awarding of the funding, it now transpires the biggest battle to get Exploris open is actually finding somebody to do the work," he said. Last year, Environment Minister Mark H Durkan committed £914,000 to refurbish and save the aquarium. But since £214,000 was not claimed by Ards Borough Council, it is no longer available, leaving £700,000 for the refurbishment work if its carried out by the end of this year. The new Ards and North Down Borough Council is trying to get the £214,000 reinstated. A council spokesperson said the council "remains committed to the Exploris facility". "[The council] has both written to and met with Minster Durkan and asked him to consider reinstating the amount to match the £914,000 offered in September 2014," the spokesperson added. Portaferry café owner Patricia Donaldson said the local economy was being hit by the continued closure of Exploris. "I don't think we have felt the full impact of this," she said. "People come here from as far away as Dublin. They come through Strangford. They get the ferry across. It's all part of the experience. "I think it is affecting everywhere. It is places on the way here, too. They are all suffering." Ms Roddy said people often turned up in the town unaware that the attraction was closed. "We think the communication has not been in place properly," she added. Ron O'Connor, from Boston in the United States, is one tourist who was left disappointed to find Exploris was closed. He said: "I'm a little bit sad. We've come a long way, it would've been very nice to see it. It's unusual to have an aquarium that works the way it did." But the council spokesperson rejected Ms Roddy criticism and said the closure of Exploris was "well publicised in the media". "The council has undertaken significant social media activity to reinforce the message over the past few months. Signage about the closure has been put up. "The council remains committed to completing the refurbishment of Exploris and ensuring it has a sustainable future." The council spokesperson added that a further update would be provided when the minister responds with regard to the capital funding offer. The seal sanctuary at the aquarium will remain open, but there will be no access to the general public. This is the first summer since the facility was opened by Ards Borough Council in 1987 that the aquarium has been closed to the public.

input: Article: Most animals adopt a more upright posture as their body mass increases, redistributing their weight to allow more efficient movement. However, kangaroos do not appear to adjust their posture in this way. Now an outdoor infrared motion-capture approach is showing how the kangaroos' bounds distribute forces along their legs and to the ground. Motion-capture records movement, registering and analysing reflections from small plastic markers stuck on to the moving entity. Golf coaches use it to analyse their pupils' swings, and it was used in the Lord of the Rings films to translate the movements of actor Andy Serkis into those of the creature Gollum. Infrared lights illuminate the subject, and an array of cameras tracks the motion of the markers. However, such studies are typically not undertaken outdoors, where a great deal of infrared light from the sun is bouncing around. Now, a team of researchers from the Royal Veterinary College in London, the University of Idaho, the University of Queensland, and the University of Western Australia has been loaned a novel motion capture system from the firm Vicon that is capable of "looking past" the ambient infrared light and focusing on their study subjects: kangaroos. "The team is interested in trying to understand how the group of kangaroos change their body posture and hopping mechanics with body size," explained Craig McGowan of the University of Idaho. "There are a number of species that, as they get larger, adopt more and more upright postures. "That reduces the mechanical demands on the musculature - so it increases their 'mechanical advantage'." In addition, the team is measuring the forces that the kangaroos' feet exert on the ground - and thus that are transmitted through their legs - using what are known as force plates. The team also captured the kangaroos' movement using the traditional method of high-speed video - which in the past was analysed frame-by-frame to obtain the same kind of data that the motion-capture system provides automatically. Taken together, said Alexis Wiktorowicz-Conroy, a researcher at the Royal Veterinary College, the studies will discover why kangaroos do not simply tear themselves to bits as they get up to speed. "We want to know how are they able to hop fast - even when they are quite heavy - and not change posture," she told BBC News. "That's important, because these animals get really big, and we can't really explain without this why their bones don't break at high speeds. "People have started to look at that in ankle joints; we're looking more at joints in hind limbs." Dr Wiktorowicz-Conroy thinks that information will shed light on another mystery of roo motion: how they do it in such an evidently efficient way. "The kangaroos' movement is really neat - at low speeds, they use their tail like a fifth limb, inching along like an inchworm. As they move faster, they start to hop. Humans fatigue very easily when we do this, but the kangaroos don't; they don't expend much energy. "Certain species of wallaby hop up large hills and don't seem to behave in the same way. There's quite a bit of variation (in the way the marsupials move), but all of them are more economical than you might predict." The experiments, conducted in Alma Park Zoo in Brisbane, have garnered significant amounts of data that the team is still working to understand. But Dr Wiktorowicz-Conroy said the outcome was certain to solve some of the biomechanical mysteries of the roo. "There's a lot we don't know about them, and this is going to help study questions about hopping and animal locomotion in general. "We hope in the end we can use this in veterinary medicine and for conservation." Summarize. output: The precise details of how kangaroos bounce are now being laid bare, thanks to new technology. input: Article: Dozens of factories supplying major Western brands were forced to close after a mass walkout and subsequent demonstrations in the Ashulia district. Police said factories opened on Tuesday with many now back at work, but they also detained several labour leaders. Last week, police arrested a journalist well known for his coverage of the garment industry for" inciting unrest". Nazmul Huda stands accused of incorrect reporting and holding secret meetings with union leaders - a charge that has been denied by at least one of his employers. He was the first journalist to report on problems with the structure of the Rana Plaza complex, just a day before it collapsed in 2013, killing more than 1,100 people. The collapse of the building sparked global outrage and put the spotlight on working conditions, low wages and safety standards in a garment sector that manufactured clothes for some major global brands. Garment manufacturing makes up the vast majority of Bangladesh's exports and any interruption is likely to have an impact on the economy. It was the sacking of 121 workers that prompted the initial walkout more than a week ago. The workers' protest soon expanded to demand a monthly minimum wage of 16,000 taka (£165; $203). It is currently 5,300 taka (£55; $67). But factories nevertheless resumed operations on Tuesday and that was when hundreds discovered they had lost their jobs, reports say. Union chiefs said police used a controversial law to shut down the protests. Ashulia is a vast garment production hub used by clothing companies around the world, including Western giants like Zara, Gap and H&M. Summarize. output: At least 1,500 garment workers in Bangladesh have been sacked after a week of protests over pay, say police. input: Article: The review will be overseen by majority shareholder Mike Ashley, who also owns Newcastle United Football Club. The company defended itself against recent accusations about its employee practices, denying it "named and shamed" workers over a warehouse tannoy at its Shirebrook site. It also denied penalising ill staff. Earlier this month, the sports goods retailer admitted that it searched staff leaving its warehouses, but said it had reduced the amount of time these searches took. A report in the Guardian suggested the extra, unpaid time taken for "rigorous" compulsory searches meant workers were paid less than the minimum wage. The Guardian sent undercover reporters to work at Sports Direct's warehouse in Shirebrook in Derbyshire last month. Sports Direct said it employed a number of its Shirebrook staff through two agencies, which had both told the firm they did not use controversial zero-hours contracts. These are agreements that do not guarantee a minimum amount of work. In October, a BBC investigation found that ambulances or paramedic cars were called out to Shirebrook 76 times in two years. Many of the calls were for "life-threatening" illnesses. Former workers said some staff were "too scared" to take sick leave because they feared losing their jobs. Sports Direct said it did not penalise its staff for being ill. It added: "Sanctions may be applied if workers fail to follow the company's reasonable sickness absence notification procedures, which are in line with industry best practice." In addition, the company said: It did admit to using a "strike" system to warn workers of underperformance, but said it would review the practice. The Guardian reported six strikes in six months would mean a worker would be dismissed. The retailer also hit back at suggestions it has staff league tables. The company uses "an anonymous ranking system to monitor performance", it said. A staff number known only to the employment agencies, the company and the worker "benchmarks staff against the anonymised data of their peers" and workers can check their performance "should they wish to do so", it added. Earlier this week, Business Minister Nick Boles suggested the tax office could take enforcement action if a company was paying less than the minimum wage. Mr Boles said HM Revenue and Customs "will be listening to this debate". He was responding to a question from Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who said the company was a "bad advert for British business". Unite regional officer Luke Primarolo said the union looked forward "to participating fully with Mike Ashley's review". "Unite has repeatedly raised concerns with the board and Mike Ashley directly about the use of Victorian work practices," he said. Summarize. output:
Sports Direct is to review all agency worker terms and conditions after the firm was criticised for its employment practices.

input: Article: Britain is now third on the medals table, behind China and the US, with a total of 28 medals, including 13 gold. Wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft (nicknamed Hurricane Hannah) has now won more medals than any other senior British athlete in the history of the World Championships. Hannah races in a category for athletes who have a condition called cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. Meanwhile, runner Georgie Hermitage set a new world record with victory in the T37 400m. And wheelchair racer Richard Chiassaro won a bronze in the 400m - his first ever medal in a major championship. Chiassaro said that he wanted to win the medal for his 6 year old son. Summarize. output: Team GB had a great day at the World Para-athletics Championships in London on Thursday, with victories from Hannah Cockroft racing to her third gold of the Championships. input: Article: The BBC takes a look at other statues in recent history that have been removed for what they symbolised. In 2003, when US tanks rolled into Baghdad and ousted the government of Saddam Hussein from power there were celebrations in the main square. Iraqi men tried to pull down a huge statue of Saddam Hussein but were unable to. US troops then joined in and used an armoured vehicle to dismantle it. The scene was watched live on television by millions of people around the world. In 2011, Libyan rebels took Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, one of the final areas that remained in his control after an uprising. Footage on local television showed fighters breaking off the head of a statue of the leader and kicking it along the ground. In December 2013, anti-government protests erupted in the streets of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, after the government refused a deal on closer ties with the European Union. Protesters, who opposed a customs union with Russia, toppled a statue of Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin and smashed it with hammers. It sparked the destruction of Lenin statues in various other Ukrainian cities.. The statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the first Soviet secret police force, the Cheka, was removed from Moscow's Lubyanka Square in 1991. It came after the collapse of a coup against the then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. The Cheka was one of the former names of the KGB. Throughout the Communist era it was responsible for abducting, torturing and killing many thousands of people. In 2013, a bronze statue of French footballer Zinedine Zidane's infamous 2006 World Cup final headbutt was taken down from the Corniche in Doha, Qatar. The sculpture, by an Algerian-born French artist, had only been installed a few weeks earlier, but prompted outrage from Muslim conservatives who believed it encouraged idolatry. Others thought it promoted violence or was in bad taste. It portrays Zidane headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi. Summarize. output: A monument to British colonialist Cecil Rhodes at the University of Cape Town has been taken down after students protested saying it was a symbol of historical white oppression. input: Article: The series, which originally ran from 2000-07, sees cast members Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel reunited in the mother-daughter comedy drama. It also features the return of original cast members Melissa McCarthy and Scott Patterson. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will feature four 90-minute episodes, each covering a season of the year. A trailer offering a first look at the new series attracted almost one million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours online. Speaking at a press conference promoting the show, Graham said the entire cast easily fell back into working together again. "Everything was like, 'Oh, here's the chemistry we had from the very first day we met,' and it was just a joy to revisit," she said. The cast also revealed what fans can expect from the new series, which sees Rory return to her mother in the fictional town of Stars Hollow from her new life in London. Bledel teased "people's questions will be answered" when questioned about her character Rory's love life. The episodes will also deal with the death of Lorelai's father, Richard, following the death in 2014 of actor Edward Herrmann who played the role. Show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who has also returned to write the new episodes, said she would have preferred them to have been released gradually, rather than all in one go on the streaming platform. She suggested those inclined to spoil the ending for others get "some therapy" beforehand. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or email [email protected].

The teenager's body was found in North British Road just after midnight. His family said they had suffered a "tragic loss". A post-mortem examination will be carried out and CCTV images are being reviewed. Det Ch Insp Gary Boyd, from Police Scotland, appealed for anyone with information to get in touch. He said: "Around 22:40 hours last night there were a number of youths who were near the entrance to St John the Baptist Primary School in North British Road and we believe that Sean may have been involved in an altercation with someone from this group.

input: Article: Having made Vineries Close in Sipson their home since 2010 they are not prepared to give up their self-built homes easily and have offered their supporters workshops and coaching lessons in how to defend the land. There is fighting talk from the group of squatters who, under the name of Grow Heathrow, have occupied a slice of greenbelt land in west London for the past four years, seducing their supporters with a post on their website, offering up nature's rewards. "If Grow Heathrow hasn't been evicted, we're going to bottle loads of blackberries. Bring clean empty jars and you will earn respect, win honour and know true righteousness. If we have been evicted, we'll just go and eat blackberries." The 15 full-time activists and their hundreds of supporters have cleared the site of 30 tonnes of rubbish and created a self-sufficient community, all in defiance of a third runway being built at Heathrow. Behind the "doors" they care for the land, building homes from trees, selling produce in the local shop and offering workshops on subjects from bike maintenance to foraging, for anyone who wishes to join them. The group wanted to create a "place of resistance" for Sipson residents who had seen "the heart ripped out of the community" with the buy-up of land and property by the airport in anticipation of a new runway. But while Sipson properties may have been spared under new plans, which would see a potential runway built further west than originally proposed, the Grow Heathrow protest site still lies in its path. The land is owned by businessman Imran Malik and although the activists have garnered support from local residents, MPs and even a judge, they have been told that despite the commendable work it is time to hand the land back to its rightful owner. Last year Mr Malik, represented by Burch Phillips & Co Solicitors, secured a ruling to evict them, a decision that was upheld during a challenge by the activists at the Court of Appeal in July. The result means the bailiffs are due to arrive later. Georgia Woods, 21, who moved to the site when she was 18, said: "It's very hard not knowing what's going to happen and for the incredible space to be threatened." The squatters moved onto the site in March 2010 but it is not just a point they wanted to make, it was also about trying to save homes and livelihoods. Ms Woods said: "We don't get paid but we all have to do things that make the site run, like growing food or running the free community workshops. "With the solar panels and wind turbine we have more than enough energy for phones, lights and music. We have totally normal electricity but you learn to appreciate the weather so much more. "It's really understanding the power of community and a gift economy." Ms Woods' home has come from the land too. "Mine's made out of hazel and it's just very small and has got a little woodburner which we built," she said. "We're happier and creating a lighter footprint on the world rather than causing harm to someone through our consumerist polluting lifestyle." Despite the idyll of living on a currency-free land, Grow Heathrow does recognise harsh reality and has been trying to buy or rent the land from Mr Malik. The group has so far offered £50,000, which they say is "above market value" and would have been generated through a crowd-funding project. John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington, who has supported the squatters "from the first day" said: "We've been trying to get involved in some formal negotiations and asked them to get around the table, we're quite happy as a community to rent the site. "We've heard nothing back from the solicitors, but the door is always open." Whether or not it is right that an MP supports the squatters, Mr McDonnell said it had been a "tremendous success and a brilliant asset". "It's a demonstration that a small part of land can be so environmentally sustainable, it's a shining example of what you can do through voluntary effort and what Grow Heathrow have done is turned it back to what it was, an environmental benefit for the area," he said. However, little consideration has been given to what happens after the bailiffs arrive. Rob Hickley, 32, a gardener, said: "We're not really thinking that far ahead yet, but with the relationships made over the past five years perhaps people will stay with others in the community. "People will be made homeless as a result of this." Heathrow Airport said it recognised that as well as "bringing huge advantages to the UK and the local people" a new runway would have "downsides for people living nearby". It said: "That is why we have rejected our previous plans for a third-runway and have put forward a new option further to the west of the airport, which strikes a better balance between the need for growth and local communities like Sipson." That is of little consolation to the squatters, who will be evicted regardless of where a runway could eventually be built. Ms Woods said: "It's been four and a half years, we had no idea it would last that long. We thought it was going to be squatted for potentially months, so it has been a success. "Everyone's pretty apprehensive and it's pretty scary, but we're not doing anything wrong, we're doing amazing things." Mr Malik attended the site with the bailiffs on Friday morning but declined to comment on the situation. Summarize. output: After transforming a derelict plot of land into a community market garden in a bid to prevent a third runway being built at Heathrow Airport, a group of squatters are set to be evicted. Question: Article:Labour is celebrating victories by Anna McMorrin in Cardiff North, Tonia Antoniazzi in Gower and the return of Chris Ruane in Vale of Clwyd. Plaid Cymru's Ben Lake has become Wales' youngest current MP, aged 24, after winning Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats. Here are Wales' new political faces of 2017 by constituency. Labour's Anna McMorrin is the new MP for this swing seat, winning a 4,174 majority and ousting Conservative Craig Williams. She grew up near Brecon, went to university in Cardiff and lives in the city with her partner and two teenage daughters. Previously a Welsh Government adviser and a public policy consultant before the election, she describes herself as a campaigner and mum. Plaid Cymru's Ben Lake is Wales' youngest MP after taking Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats, depriving them of their only Welsh seat. Aged 24, he was working for Plaid in the Welsh Assembly before hitting the campaign trail and is one of the youngest politicians ever elected to the House of Commons. Tonia Antoniazzi won Gower from the Conservatives for Labour, turning a Tory majority of 27 into a 3,269 majority for her party. A Llanelli schoolteacher who used to represent Wales at rugby, she says she is also a mum and a linguist. While on the campaign trail she told BBC Wales two things she could transfer from the rugby pitch to the battle for the most marginal seat in Britain were stamina and teamwork. Labour's Chris Ruane won the Vale of Clwyd back from the Conservatives, a seat he had held for 18 years before losing it in 2015. He says practising the meditation technique known as mindfulness helped him cope with suddenly losing his job in 2015, and he travelled to Canberra to share the mindfulness message with Australian MPs. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Four new MPs are representing Wales at Westminster, with Labour capturing three seats from the Conservatives and Plaid Cymru snatching Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats.

Write an article based on this summary: British sprinter Bernice Wilson has been suspended by UK Athletics after being charged with an anti-doping offence. +++++++ A: Media playback is not supported on this device The 27-year-old tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone and Clenbuterol last month. Wilson's test was conducted after she ran a time of 11.95 seconds for the 100m at the Bedford International Games on 12 June. UKA say Wilson has the right to a full hearing of the case. The provisional suspension came into effect on 9 July. It was issued by UK Anti-Doping, the independent body responsible for all anti-doping programmes and the management of violations and disciplinary issues in the United Kingdom. Wilson, from Lincolnshire, could face a two-year ban if found guilty of doping. This year she has set new personal best times in the 60m and 100m. She ran 7.25 seconds for the 60m at the European Indoor Trials in Sheffield in February, and 11.57 seconds for the 100m at the Inter Counties Championships in Bedford in May. She also ran a wind-assisted time of 11.41 seconds for the 100m in Loughborough in May. Wilson is coached by George Skafidas, and reached the semi-finals of the 60m sprint at the European Indoor Championships in Paris in March. She ran 7.30 seconds in qualifying for the semi-finals, but did not progress to the final despite bettering her time to 7.28 seconds. Clenbuterol is the same substance that Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador tested positive for during last year's Tour de France. He said the positive test was a result of eating contaminated beef. Clenbuterol, similar to the asthma drug salbutamol, is used to treat breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator. It causes an increase in aerobic capacity, blood pressure and oxygen transportation, and speeds the rate at which fats are burned. It is officially classified as a sympathomimetic steroid. Away from the track, Wilson works as a sport development officer for East Lindsey District Council, who said in a statement: "East Lindsey District Council is aware of the investigation announced today by UK Athletics in relation to international athlete Bernice Wilson. "The council takes this very seriously, and will be discussing this fully with Bernice, but it would be inappropriate to discuss individual staffing issues with third parties." Write an article based on this summary: A state funeral has been held in Venice for the sole Italian victim of the 13 November Paris attacks, 28-year-old student Valeria Solesin. +++++++ A: Her casket was borne up the city's Grand Canal in a black gondola to St Mark's Square. Ms Solesin was among the 89 people killed at the Bataclan concert hall. She had been there with her boyfriend, who survived the attack. Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders spoke at the service. "I want to thank the religious figures... who are here together in this square as a symbol of our common humanity at a moment when fanatics try to turn a massacre into an honourable act by invoking a faith," Ms Solesin's father, Alberto, said during the service, according to Reuters. As well as her family, friends and boyfriend, Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Defence Minister Roberta Pinotti attended the service. Large crowds of Venice residents and tourists turned out in St Mark's Square to watch the service. Write an article based on this summary: Plans to build a second £431m bridge between Runcorn and Widnes will go ahead, the chancellor has confirmed. +++++++ A: The Mersey Gateway project had been put on hold pending the outcome of the Treasury's Spending Review. George Osborne offered the scheme hope earlier in October when he told the BBC it was one of his priorities. Speaking on Sunday, he confirmed that the six-lane toll bridge, agreed under the last government, would escape the axe under the review. Mr Osborne told BBC One's Andrew Marr show that he was putting the final touches to the Spending Review, which will be announced on 20 October. "The priority here has been to target waste and welfare, to invest in our health care, to give real increases in the school budget and to invest in the things that are going to make our economy strong," he said. "Projects like Crossrail, which will go ahead, projects like the Mersey Gateway, which is going to go ahead. "Those things are actually going to get us out of this stronger and able to pay our way in the world." Road user charging The bridge project was shelved in June, when the Department for Transport (DfT) said it could not guarantee its £83m support for the scheme until after the review. About £22m has already been spent on the project, which is designed to ease congestion on the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge. Funding for the bridge, which will span 1km (0.6 miles) across the River Mersey, will largely be met by the private sector and road user charging. It has cross-party support across the region and many major business backers. Despite widespread support, the scheme is opposed by the National Alliance Against Tolls (NAAT) because it means charges are also planned to be introduced on the Silver Jubilee bridge. "Supporters of the scheme say that this will be a boost to the economy. On the contrary, the scheme will be a barrier that will damage the economy," he said. "This scheme should have been the first to be cut, and the Coalition have made a big mistake by throwing money into such a terrible project." Write an article based on this summary: There's a new podcast about Adnan Syed, but it has nothing to do with Sarah Koenig and the team from Serial. +++++++ A:
Serial producer Dana Chivvis has confirmed to Newsbeat that the new podcast Undisclosed is not from them. It's coming from Adnan's friend Rabia Chaudry and two lawyers, Susan Simpson and Colin Miller. Rabia tweeted this week: "On 13 April here is where you'll find our new podcast Undisclosed, picking up where #Serial left off." It included a link to the Undisclosed Podcast website, which says: "In the wake of Serial, much new evidence and information has been discovered and uncovered thanks to the investigations of attorneys Susan Simpson, Colin Miller, and the Adnan Syed Legal Trust. "Undisclosed will examine and explore the case in greater detail, from an investigatory perspective instead of a narrative one." The hit Serial podcast investigated the case of Adnan Syed, who was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in 2000 when he was 17 in Baltimore, Maryland. In February, he won the right to appeal. A second series of Serial is expected to begin later this year, but it will focus on a different story. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

Problem: The app, called Colourful Balloons, was launched in May and is almost identical to the Facebook Moments app. It was spotted by the New York Times on Friday. The BBC understands that part of the reason the app was not branded as Facebook was to study how apps organically gain users in China. Facebook is working with Chinese app developer Youge Internet Technology. "We have long said that we are interested in China, and are spending time understanding and learning more about the country in different ways," a Facebook representative told the BBC. "Our focus right now is on helping Chinese businesses and developers expand to new markets outside China by using our ad platform." The BBC has not been able to confirm whether the Chinese authorities are aware that Facebook launched the app in the country. However, the app works with WeChat, a leading messaging app by Chinese social media giant Tencent. Facebook and many other Western internet services are blocked in China, which has a strict internet censorship policy. Facebook was blocked in 2009, while its photo-sharing app Instagram was banned in 2014 and the encrypted messaging app WhatsApp was partially restricted last month Twitter was blocked in 2009, and all Google services, including the video-sharing platform YouTube, were banned the same year. China now has the world's largest online market with 731 million users, according to latest statistics from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). Google officially pulled its operations out of China in 2010 as a protest against internet censorship, but is now in talks with Beijing to relaunch its services in the country, according to CNBC. What was that article about? A: Facebook has quietly launched a photo-editing app exclusively for China. Text: Arthur Whitfield, 83, from Colwyn Bay, died after falling from a bed or chair at Llandudno Hospital in October 2015. A post-mortem examination found he died from a number of falls. Recording a narrative conclusion at the inquest in Ruthin, Denbighshire, the deputy coroner said "many opportunities had been missed" to stop him falling. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board carried out a serious incident review that revealed failings. It is now looking at how it identifies patients at risk of falls. The inquest heard Mr Whitfield was admitted to Glan Clwyd Hospital, Bodelwyddan, at least three times in October 2015 after falling. On 21 October, he was transferred to Llandudno Hospital and while a fall eight days later was not witnessed, he was twice seen trying to climb out of bed. He died on 30 October, with a post-mortem examination revealing bleeding on the brain. Pathologist Dr Andrew Dalton told the inquest he did not die from a single fall, but "falls". Following his death, the health board carried out a serious incident review and admitted a risk assessment was not carried out as promptly as it should have been. "It beggars belief that after all the earlier incidents it could happen again," said North Wales East and Central deputy coroner Nicola Jones. Recording a narrative conclusion, she said because there were so many falls, it was not possible to reach a conclusion of accidental death. Ms Jones issued a regulation 28 report stating that until new methods are introduced, the risk to others still exist. "If these matters are not introduced there will be future deaths," she added. After the hearing, Mr Whitfield's daughter Elizabeth said the family faced difficulty in raising concerns with hospital staff. A health board spokesman said: "We fully accept the coroner's findings and are reviewing the way we identify patients at risk of falls." summary:

Problem: It never rains but it pours. Or so it must seem to the 650,000 or so GCSE candidates receiving results - especially after the squeeze on university places last week. For many of those with courses at stake in school and college sixth forms, there will be the realisation that the path from GCSE to university is no longer as smooth as it once was. Some may be forced to change their aspirations, grasping that unless they up their game, they may have to re-think their career path sooner rather than later. So what can you do if your grades fail to impress? In any event, be at your school to pick up your results. Speak to your teachers about re-marks and other services available, if you fall short on grades. Such requests must be channelled through the school. Make sure that someone in the school has the matter in hand and is taking action. And if you are not there in person, have a plan B to sort things out. Be ready for any eventuality - when you go along to your chosen sixth form school or college with your results. They will talk through what your options are and hopefully offer you a place on a course - perhaps not the one you intended to follow if your grades do not make the mark - or they may even suggest that you go elsewhere. You have that option and do not have to accept the course offered. How individual schools and colleges react will differ, but persevere if you want a place, especially if you have only missed out marginally on a grade and are awaiting the outcome of a re-mark or other enquiry service from the exam board. Some may allow you to begin the A-level course pending the outcome of the enquiry, and some may not. They will take all matters into consideration as to whether or not you would benefit from an A-level course in that subject. And if all else fails and you do not make it to the sixth form to follow your preferred course, there are many other options available: work - voluntary or paid - apprenticeships, further education - or sailing round the world single-handed, as a 14-year-old Dutch girl is now attempting to do. Explore some of the possibilities at Connexions or contact me at [email protected] for a detailed and personal response to your question. Look forward and not back. Opportunities are there for those who take them. Yes, is the short answer. Mistakes do happen - especially as one mark might make the difference between an A and a B if you are at the top of the B band - as with other grades too. And although this could hardly be judged as an error as such, that extra mark would give a higher grade, and perhaps secure that elusive place. Extreme measures are taken to ensure the accuracy of the grades awarded - and that they truly reflect each student's abilities, on the basis of the exam work submitted. The independent regulator, Ofqual, will monitor the whole process. It is a truly professional operation with the interests of students, fairness and rigour, at its heart. But with an estimated 26m A-level and GCSE examination papers from one million students to be marked by 50,000 examiners and then graded, it is perhaps conceivable that something may give on occasion, despite the many checks, double checks and scrutinies that are built into the system. Marking is not an exact science and wherever human judgement is brought to bear, there will be professional differences of opinion, which the boards endeavour to ensure are kept to a minimum. So that if a paper was re-marked and the examiner awarded an additional mark which produced a higher grade - if that paper were marked yet again, it may well revert to the original mark and grade. Challenging your grades is relatively straightforward. But only your school can do this on your behalf, by raising an enquiry about your results with the exam board. Such action needs to be approved by you as your grades can go up as well as down, or simply remain as they are. So generally speaking, if you are already at the bottom of a grade band, the loss of a mark will put you down a grade, and a lot of marks would need to be gained in order to get you onto a higher grade level. A fee is charged for these services. Your school can request photocopies of exam scripts, or actual scripts. It can ask for a clerical check from around £7 and a re-mark from about £33 for each GCSE component or module. The check will ensure that marks are recorded and transferred correctly and that totals are correct - whereas re-marks entail the re-marking of your script by a senior examiner. Fees generally will vary across the boards, but the closing date for all enquiries is 20 September. Fees are mostly paid by the school and will be refunded if there is a grade change. But if still unhappy because your grades are unchanged, lowered or not raised enough, your school can take the matter further by lodging an appeal with the examining board. An internal investigation would then be held in up to two stages, the latter stage involving an independent scrutineer. If the matter is still not resolved, then the case could be taken by your school to an external and independent appeal through the Examinations Appeals Board: But that entire process will take time and is unlikely to affect your grades immediately, if at all. Only a handful of cases are ever reviewed in this way. You can contact me at [email protected] for a personal and detailed response to your questions. Or visit my web page.

Article:England striker Toni Duggan's drilled first-half strike was enough to lift City above Chelsea into second in the Women's Super League One Spring Series. City dominated the first half and held off Chelsea's second-half fightback. Defeat was the visitors' first in the WSL in 2017, as they dropped to third in the table, three points behind City. The hosts, the reigning league, League Cup and Women's FA Cup winners, remain unbeaten in WSL 1 since April 2015, and move one point below leaders Liverpool - but with a game in hand. Drew Spence was denied by a fine save from City keeper Karen Bardsley and Beth England's effort was blocked by Lucy Bronze, as Chelsea - who finished second last season - went close. The hosts thought they had a second before the officials correctly ruled Megan Campbell's long throw had not touched any player on its way in but it did not matter as victory kept their title hopes in their own hands. The match was played at Manchester's Academy Stadium less than 72 hours after Monday's suicide bomb attack at the Manchester Arena which killed 22 people and injured over 100 and went ahead following consultation with Greater Manchester Police. Both sets of players wore black armbands for the game and the two clubs paid their respects with an impeccably observed minute's silence before kick-off, after the players had warmed up wearing "We love Manchester" t-shirts. Applause broke out in the stands on the 22-minute mark, as the fans - several of whom had brought specially made flags - added a further mark of respect. Soon afterwards, Duggan's fine individual goal lit up an otherwise tactical game, as she turned Mille Bright and - surrounded by three Chelsea defenders - unleashed a low shot that had too much pace for Chelsea keeper Carly Telford. Manchester City Women manager Nick Cushing: "Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families involved in Monday's tragedy, football is irrelevant compared to that. "We watched Manchester United and we saw their unity and we said to our players that's what we wanted tonight. "We were at our best with heart and desire and a real will to win. The first half was good, the second half was about our individual ability and individual heart. "Karen Bardsley made some great saves and Lucy Bronze cleared one off the line, so it was a really good game for us in terms of the desire we showed." Chelsea Ladies defender Gilly Flaherty: "In the first half we were too far away from Manchester City, the second balls we weren't winning and that's frustrating. "We all know the belief we have in this team - the individual players and collectively - but we didn't show it. We've got world-class players but we didn't show it. "We came in at half-time and picked it back up and we were much better in the second half. We had chances to get back in the game but the team that takes their chances wins the game and City have learnt to do that and they did it tonight."

Summarize this article: The Potters had held firm despite Ryan Shawcross being sent off but Patrick van Aanholt and Duncan Watmore struck with two goals in the last 10 minutes. Shawcross was dismissed for a second yellow after a foul on Watmore, who replaced the injured Jermain Defoe. Stoke, who went closest through Jonathan Walters, slip to 12th. Re-live Sunderland's late win over Stoke City Reaction to all of Saturday's games Stoke went into the game unbeaten in their past four away matches - and had won three of those 1-0 - but finally conceded when wing-back Van Aanholt fired home from the edge of the box after a free-kick was played short. Sunderland had an extra man for almost the whole of the second half and frustration had been building, but the home fans could finally relax when Watmore sealed the win, finishing low across Jack Butland after Erik Pieters' missed header. The Black Cats were without a win when Sam Allarydce took over in October and they continued their revival here - despite Stoke having the clearer chances and greater possession in the first half. Costel Pantilimon stopped a Walters shot with his legs at point-blank range just before the break, while the trio of Bojan, Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic looked menacing with their slick passing. With Defoe withdrawn before the break, having suffered an apparent thigh muscle injury, the Black Cats struggled to make their numerical advantage tell. Watmore was full of running throughout, and provoked the foul by Shawcross that saw the Stoke defender dismissed, but was guilty of spurning chances until his goal. Steven Fletcher had a limited impact, too, and the striker had several weak penalty appeals dismissed. With his team still to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool before the new year, these hard-won three points could prove vital for Allardyce. He will be hoping Defoe - the club's top scorer with seven goals this season - will be fit for what looks like being a very tricky run of fixtures.

Certainly by winning three in the first six, it takes us to where we want to be going. "I said when I came here, I don't really want to be doing what the club has done over the last four years and have to win a huge amount of games in the last six or eight matches.

"Jon will kick himself for missing - it was a clear chance and he should score. He knows that and if we score at that point we would have very probably taken the game away from them. "But we pick ourselves up. We have a big game on Tuesday and we will draw a line under this. Sunderland play away to Arsenal in the Premier League next Saturday, before welcoming Watford to the Stadium of Light the following Saturday. Stoke play at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, before taking on Manchester City in the Premier League's early kick-off next Saturday. Summary:
Sunderland lifted themselves out of the relegation zone with just their third Premier League win of the season, as two late goals saw off 10-man Stoke.

Text: One-year-old Layla Richards, from London, had incurable aggressive leukaemia only five months ago. Doctors used "designer immune cells" to fight the cancer and say her improvement was "almost a miracle". It is too soon to know if she has been cured, but her progress already marks a huge moment for the field. Layla was three months old when she was diagnosed with the condition. As often happens with very young babies, chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant failed to cure her. Doctors had nothing left to offer and, the day before her first birthday, her family were advised to go through palliative care. But Layla's dad Ashleigh refused to give up. He told the BBC: "I didn't want to go down that road, I'd rather that she tried something new and I took the gamble. "And this is her today standing laughing and giggling, she was so weak before this treatment, it was horrible and I'm just thankful for this opportunity." Medical staff, in conjunction with the biotech company Cellectis, rapidly gained permission to try a highly experimental therapy that had been trialled only in mice. The treatment - designer immune cells - were the product of cutting-edge advances in gene editing. Previous therapies have tried to add new genes to correct a defect whereas this one edited those already there. Microscopic scissors - technically known as Talens - were used to precisely engineer the DNA inside a donor's immune cells. The cells were designed to seek out and kill only leukaemia cells and be invisible to the strong drugs given to patients. The designer cells were then injected into Layla and she also needed a second bone marrow transplant to restore her immune system. Now, just months after her family was told she had incurable cancer, Layla is not only alive, but has no trace of leukaemia in her body. Dr Paul Veys, from Great Ormond Street, said the transformation was one of the most remarkable things he'd seen in 20 years: "We're in a wonderful place compared to where we were five months ago, but that doesn't mean cure. "The only way we will find out if this is a cure is by waiting that one or two years, but even having got this far from where we were is a major, major step." He described the run of events as "almost like a miracle". Layla's story is being presented at the American Society of Haematology, but this is only a single case that has not been tested in a clinical trial. But the pace of progress in gene-editing technology is phenomenal. Prof Waseem Qasim, from Great Ormond Street, added: "This is the first time human cells, engineered in this particular way, have been given back to a patient and that was a big step for us. "The technology is moving very fast, the ability to target very specific regions of the genome have suddenly become much more efficient and we think that this technology will be the next phase of treatments. "The technology itself has got enormous potential to correct other conditions where cells are engineered and given back to patients or to provide new properties to cells that allow them to be used in a way we can only imagine at the moment."

Text: Born in Barry, she and her family emigrated when she was four, but stories about her late father's early life in the Neath Valley stayed with her "in politics and beyond". Ms Gillard, 53, was the Australian Labor Party prime minister in 2010-13. She has been speaking on BBC Radio Wales programme, Sunday Supplement. Ms Gillard said she did not have "original memories" of Wales but the fact her parents' "formative experiences were there, that was the subject of our family discussions in the home, so the consciousness that I was born in Wales and that mattered, has been with me throughout my life". Speaking to presenter Vaughan Roderick, BBC Wales' Welsh affairs editor, she explained how her father, who had lived in Cwmgwrach, was "very interested in politics and he thought for both my sister and I that it was important we grew up with an understanding of government and policies and why they mattered and what fairness was". She added: "In giving us that world view, all of the examples were from south Wales; from him growing up in a coal mining village in Cwmgwrach, being one of seven children, not being able to complete his education simply because of the poverty of his family." She explained how he won a scholarship to finish secondary school education but ended up leaving school at 14. "And so all of these things about fairness and equity, the importance of education, were burnt into my sister and I from very early on in our family life and they have been the values which have stayed with me," she said. She said she had been shocked to see the contrast between Cwmgwrach and her own childhood home in Australia when she visited. "I remember, vaguely, my first memories of being in the migrant hostel when we arrived in Australia, but then all of my other childhood memories were of being in our home in Kingswood, a suburb of Adelaide, going to the local state school... we had a house with a big back yard. I mean, we weren't moneyed people but that was the Australian way of life. "And then to go to Cwmgwrach to see the sort of housing people lived in... my grandmother, my father's mother, was still alive then and she lived in a house with an outside toilet and things like that. "But also, to be surrounded by people you were related to, this was a completely different experience for me. "For all of my life my family had been mum, dad and my sister, Alison, and we weren't related to anyone else in Australia and there you were suddenly in a village in south Wales where you are just related to so many people, so many cousins and aunts and uncles." Ms Gillard served as the 27th prime minister of Australia, and the Australian Labor Party leader for three years and three days from 2010 to 2013. She was the first woman to hold either position. On 26 June 2013, after a leadership split, Ms Gillard lost the leadership of the party to Kevin Rudd. She resigned as prime minister the following day. summary:
Welsh roots shaped Julia Gillard's politics which led her to become Australia's first female prime minister, she has told BBC Wales.

Article: A sign in St Lawrence Medical Practice in Braintree said any Facebook or Twitter comments "may been seen as a breach" of its "zero tolerance policy". The request was made after staff saw patients using "appalling language" to describe the surgery on a local newspaper's Facebook page. Practice manager Alison Rudkin said the wording of the sign had been changed. "I admit it wasn't worded well originally, so we have amended it and added another line at the bottom," she told BBC News. "It now says: 'This ensures we can respond to people's concerns with patient confidentiality in mind.'" On its website, the surgery said it participates in the NHS zero tolerance policy scheme. It said it did "not tolerate rude, abusive or aggressive behaviour, in any form, to any member of our staff." Ms Rudkin said online comments about the surgery, which mentioned staff by name and used swearwords, had prompted the decision to put up the sign. "Those sort of comments and that sort of language is a form of bullying," Ms Rudkin said. "We would much rather people come and see us in person if they have something they want to say. "We can't respond to people properly if they choose to make their comments on Facebook or Twitter," she added. The Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group could not be reached for a comment. ++++++++++ Summarize: Patients at a GP surgery in Essex have been told not to post their comments or complaints on social media. Problem: The 24-year-old, who was from the Newtownards area, died after an assault at a house on Bangor Road in the town at about 05:30 GMT. Mr Miskelly was found lying on the road. He was treated by ambulance staff but died at the scene a short time later. Two 19-year-old men arrested on suspicion of murder remain in custody. Mr Miskelly's body was still at the scene at lunchtime, when reporter Kevin Sharkey spoke to the BBC's Sunday News programme. "There is a police forensic tent about 50m off the main Bangor Road," he said. "A number of entrances along this road have been cordoned off. "Police are still there, as are forensics experts who are working around the scene in very difficult weather conditions." The reporter said there had been "torrential rain" in the area at around noon on Sunday. Police said a post mortem examination would be carried out to help determine the cause of death. The officer leading the investigation, Det Ch Insp Justyn Galloway, said the incident had "resulted in the tragic death of a young man". "I would like to thank the local community for their support in this investigation," he said. "I would appeal to anyone who has any information that they think could help but hasn't yet contacted us to get in touch with detectives." What was that article about? A: The man murdered in Newtownards, County Down, overnight was Richard Miskelly, police have confirmed. Problem: The hosts' five-wicket win in Centurion sets up a decider on Sunday. Heather Knight top-scored with 61 and captain Charlotte Edwards made 45, but Sarah Taylor was out for a duck in her 100th ODI as England scored 262-9. In reply, Laura Wolfvaardt (55) and Trisha Chetty (66) put on 113 and Lizelle Lee (69) and Marizanne Kapp (44) 112 as the hosts sealed victory. England now need to win the final game to emerge with a victory from Mark Robinson's first series as head coach. Knight and Edwards rebuilt England's innings with a stand of 78 after South Africa took three early wickets, including Taylor for a second-ball duck. Edwards was dismissed by leg-spinner Sune Luus, who took a tough caught-and-bowled chance. Knight smashed the first six of the innings after reaching her half-century but was soon out for 61. England were still struggling to reach a par score but Danielle Wyatt, who hit a six in a 27-ball 40, and Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole added 94 from the last 10 overs. Star bowler Brunt, who went into the match on 99 ODI wickets, was able to bowl just five overs because of a back spasm and the Proteas took advantage as 16-year-old Wolfvaardt and wicketkeeper Chetty both made half-centuries. Knight eventually made the breakthrough, having Wolfvaardt caught by substitute fielder Kate Cross, and when Hazell removed Chetty and Mignon du Preez with successive balls England fancied their chances. But Kapp and Lee tucked into some average bowling in Brunt's absence, and although both fell late on, Dane van Niekerk got the hosts over the line with seven balls to spare. Ex-England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on BBC Test Match Special: "South African cricket is really on the up. They've had success in Twenty20 but to do it in 50-over cricket as well is different. This is a massive result for them because England have the better resources. "England were outplayed in all facets. South Africa started and finished the game with a bang and looked the better team. "England couldn't take wickets. They bowled tidily but there was no potency which is a concern for the side. "They want to impress because they have a new coach but for the bowling to get taken to the cleaners, I think this will really hurt England." All three matches count towards the ICC Women's Championship which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup. You can listen to live commentary of the final match on Sunday on Radio 5 live sports extra and the BBC Sport website. What was that article about? A:

Problem: Ferres joined Rhinos from Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee in January, and has made 19 appearances this season. The 30-year-old had been at the Giants since 2012, having previously played for Castleford, Wakefield and Bradford. "Results and our league position [ninth in Super League] have not gone to plan, but this is a great club," he said. "I will be looking to knuckle down and make the most of this opportunity to help get the team back to where we want to be at the top of the table." Leeds, the defending Super League champions, will face Featherstone Rovers in the Qualifiers on 6 August after finishing ninth. What was that article about? A: England forward Brett Ferres has signed a new contract with Leeds Rhinos that will keep him at the Super League club until the end of the 2019 season. Text: Jason Rezaian, a 38-year-old dual Iran-US citizen, and his Iranian wife Yeganeh Salehi, were taken into custody on Tuesday evening, the paper said. Two freelance photographers, also US citizens, were being held too. Western news organisations, including the BBC, have great difficulty operating in Iran, with journalists facing detention and surveillance. "We are deeply troubled by this news and are concerned for the welfare of Jason, Yeganeh and two others said to have been detained with them," Washington Post foreign editor Douglas Jehl said in a statement. Mr Rezaian, who is from California, has been the Post's Iran correspondent since 2012. Ms Salehi works as a correspondent for the National, an English-language newspaper based in the United Arab Emirates. Their detention was confirmed by Iran's Chief Justice Gholamhossein Esmaili, who said they were being questioned but did not give a reason for the arrests, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Mr Esmaili said the judiciary would release more details on the detention following "technical investigations", and said Iranian security forces are "vigilant towards all kinds of enemies' activities". The detentions of Jason Rezaian and Yeganeh Salehi came as the Iranian authorities step up pressure on independent journalists and bloggers. A number of people have been summoned to Tehran's Evin prison in recent months on charges of involvement in propaganda against the state. Those detained include four female reporters - Marzieh Rasouli, Sajedeh Arabsorkhi, Reyhaneh Tabatabaei and Saba Azarpeik. The media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders says there are currently 64 journalists and social media users imprisoned in Iran. The Iranian authorities have long kept the media under strict control, but arrests and intimidation intensified after the 2009 democracy protests. When President Rouhani took office in August 2013 a number of reporters were released from prison, and Ministry of Intelligence representatives in his new cabinet seemed to have taken a more relaxed approach towards the media. But at the same time journalists have come under renewed pressure from the judiciary and the Revolutionary Guards, who operate outside the government's jurisdiction. President Rouhani has so far said nothing about the latest wave of arrests. A reporter in Tehran for a Western news outlet who has been a friend of Mr Rezaian for five years said the couple had expressed no concern over their security or fears they would be detained. "They were just working hard and only talked about how they enjoyed reporting from here," the reporter told the BBC. "This is also a surprise, because the atmosphere in general had appeared to become more open for foreign news outlets, at least, with more foreign journalists getting visas and accreditation." Threats against BBC The reporter said that the handful of dual-national journalists operating in Iran are now quite nervous following Mr Rezaian's detention. Authorities in Iran frequently detain or harass journalists working for Western news organisations, and westerners with dual citizenship are typical targets. Iran-based family members of BBC journalists have been questioned by intelligence services, and authorities have attempted to intimidate London-based BBC Persian staff by setting up false Facebook pages on which BBC staff members purport to admit to sexual misconduct or to spying for the UK. Last year, Iran warned the families of 15 BBC Persian Service journalists that their relatives must cease working for the BBC in London, and in some cases the lives of the staff were threatened. In 2009, Iranian-American reporter Roxana Saberi was held for five months after being arrested for purchasing a bottle of wine. She had worked as a freelancer for the BBC and for US radio network National Public Radio. The same year, a reporter for AFP was held for several days. summary:

Question: Article:Jacqueline Sauvage's husband was a violent alcoholic who, she said, had raped and beaten her and her daughters for decades. She also said he had abused their son, who killed himself. More than 400,000 people signed a petition calling on Mr Hollande to intervene. The sentence reduction means the 68-year-old will now be able to leave jail in mid-April, her lawyers said. On 10 September 2010, the day after her son's suicide, Sauvage shot her husband three times in the back with a rifle. She was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison in October 2014, which was upheld on appeal in December 2015 after the state rejected her plea of self-defence. The case became a cause celebre in France, with campaigners calling for the definition of self-defence to be expanded to encompass victims of violence. The move does not quash Sauvage's conviction but waives the remainder of her sentence. "In the face of an exceptional human situation, the president wanted to make it possible for Sauvage to return to her family as soon as possible," the presidency said in a statement. The decision came two days after Mr Hollande met Sauvage's three adult daughters. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: French President Francois Hollande has waived the remaining prison sentence of a woman who was sentenced to 10 years for murdering her abusive husband. Question: Article:ECB president Mario Draghi said the bank had offered more help through Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) following a request from the Bank of Greece. Mr Draghi said the ECB's total exposure to Greece was now €130bn. Speaking at an ECB press conference in Frankfurt, he said that debt relief for Greece was "necessary". "It's uncontroversial that debt relief is necessary and I think that nobody has ever disputed that," Mr Draghi said. "The issue is what is the best form of debt relief within our framework, within our legal institutional framework. I think we should focus on this point in the coming weeks." Mr Draghi said the ECB continued to act on the assumption that Greece was and would be a member of the euro area. Mr Draghi said the ECB was in a position to extend help under ELA after eurozone ministers agreed "bridge" financing for Greece to keep its finances afloat, and after Greek MPs passed reforms as part of the bailout deal. He expressed confidence that Greece would repay its €3.5bn (£2.4bn) debt to the ECB when it comes due on 20 July. Mr Draghi's comments came after the ECB held eurozone interest rates at their historic low of 0.05%. The ECB also maintained its bond-buying programme at €60bn a month. The massive bond-buying programme was launched in March to prevent the eurozone falling into deflation. It also aimed to weaken the euro to boost exports and encourage consumer spending. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: The European Central Bank says it has increased emergency funding to Greek banks by €900m (£627m) for one week. Question: Article:Larry Godfrey, Kieran Slater and Patrick Huston went to a recurve shoot-off and despite scores being level, had to settle for silver as Russia's arrow was closest to the centre.

Article: Media playback is unsupported on your device 29 October 2013 Last updated at 22:42 GMT Police said a DNA test, which was carried out on the man, proved he was not Ben. His mother, Karen Needham, said there were "lots of lines of inquiry" that could be followed. Ben, from Sheffield, vanished when he was 21 months old while on holiday on the Greek island of Kos. ++++++++++ Summarize: The mother of a toddler who disappeared in 1991 has said the search for her son will continue, following news that a Cyprus man is not Ben Needham. Article: Ryan was responding to speculation that the 29-year-old rugby league convert is being viewed as an England possible. "He's got the quality and potential to do that," Ryan told BBC Sport. "But to play for England he's going to have to play well in an area that's got stronger over the last few weeks." Auckland-born Te'o, who played one rugby league international for Samoa in 2008, qualifies for England through his mother, who was born and raised there. He is currently in his second season with Irish provincial side Leinster, who he joined from Australian rugby league side South Sydney Rabbitohs, where he had been a team-mate of Sam Burgess, who was about to make the same switch. He is not scheduled to join Worcester until the end of this season, but already Ryan has been asked about what path lies ahead for the second of this winter's five pre-agreed signings. "He's a player of quality and he's English qualified but I've not had any conservations outside that," Ryan told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "I know he's ambitious and that he's got aspirations to play Test rugby and I know he wants to do that through playing for Worcester. But I have no idea whether anyone else shares that line of thought. "He's a real talent, a real athlete and is really driven to be successful. He's very direct. There's still things we think we can add to his game, but he's still got a lot to learn. The fact that we are bringing in a player of his quality, that he wants to come and that he sees what we're doing here is more important to me." The speculation about Te'o comes on top of this week's revelation that Wigan and England winger Josh Charnley plans to switch codes to join Sale. But it also comes at the end of a season in which the fate of Burgess in England's ill-fated Rugby Union World Cup campaign served as a warning to the dangers of over reliance on cross-code converts. Worcester Warriors have so far have made five signings for the 2016-17 season. They will also be bringing in another centre, New-Zealand-born Jackson Willison from French side Grenoble. They have also signed three forwards, South Africa-born Northampton hooker Matt Williams, Bath lock Will Spencer and Bristol flanker Marco Mama. ++++++++++ Summarize:
Worcester Warriors boss Dean Ryan says that Leinster centre Ben Te'o, one of the club's signings for 2016-17, already has the potential to play rugby union for England.

Nearly 30 people were hurt. Reports suggest protesters remain in the area surrounding the compound. Students and activists oppose Beijing's decision to rule out fully democratic elections in Hong Kong in 2017. The ruling has prompted a protest movement in the autonomous territory, spearheaded by a group called Occupy Central. In statement issued on Saturday, Occupy Central alleged that pepper spray was used without warning, and condemned the use of "unnecessary force" against "peaceful protesters". "We strongly condemn such action which not only violates the police code of conduct but also tramples on people's freedom of expression," the group said. The last of the protesters within the compound were removed on Saturday without resisting arrest, the South China Morning Post reported. The students chanted the slogan: "No fear for civil disobedience" as they were led away, the Hong Kong-based newspaper said. The break-in occurred just before 22:30 local time on Friday (15:30 BST), as protesters scaled security fences to get inside. The protesters smashed barriers and scaled fences to occupy a forecourt outside government headquarters. But police managed to restore a cordon around the building's forecourt by late on Friday night before removing the final 50 on Saturday. Police said they had arrested 61 people on suspicion of forcible entry into government premises and unlawful assembly. A 27-year-old man was also arrested for possession of an offensive weapon. The South China Morning Post describes the forecourt as a popular protest spot, to which access has been restricted since July. School and university students have joined the protests in recent days, and one prominent student activist leader, Joshua Wong, was among those arrested on Friday night. Mr Wong, 17, was dragged away in handcuffs, a student leader from Hong Kong University said. On Thursday, about 2,000 university students held a night-time protest at the house of the Hong Kong leader, Chief Executive CY Leung. The students' boycott is seen as a prelude to a larger demonstration planned for 1 October, organised Occupy Central, which has vowed to block the financial district. Hong Kong operates under a "one country, two systems" arrangement with Beijing, which means citizens are allowed the right to protest. In August, Beijing decided that candidates for the 2017 chief executive election would first have to be approved by a nominating committee.

Fournier made the accusation ahead of Sunday's Ligue 1 match between leaders Lyon and third-placed Paris St-Germain. "All the referees in this league get insulted by this person," he said. "The referees are not bilingual or trilingual, so they don't understand. In a way, it's better to speak Italian or English to insult referees." Lyon are two points clear of second-placed Marseille and defending champions PSG following an eight-match unbeaten run. But Fournier has warned his players - and referee Clement Turpin - to maintain their composure if put under pressure by Swede Ibrahimovic. "The person who is going to be most provoked is Mr Turpin," added 47-year-old Fournier. "I don't want my team to provoke, I don't want us to insult the officials. I hope we remember not to fall for Zlatan's provocations." PSG, who have won back-to-back titles, travel to Lyon after winning their last six matches in all competitions.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic abuses French referees in either English or Italian so they cannot understand his insults, claims Lyon coach Hubert Fournier.

input: Article: After his election in 2013, the new president - seen as a moderate abroad - promised to work to lift years of sanctions which have crippled the economy and made life ever-harder for average Iranians. Iranian hardliners have opposed concessions and compromise over Iran's "national right" to nuclear energy, but the balance so far appears to be heavily in favour of President Rouhani and his team of negotiators. In the end, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has the final say. He has publicly backed the negotiating team and in recent days provided them with more flexibility over some aspects of the negotiation while at the same time hardening his stance towards the West. All UN and US "economic, financial and banking" sanctions must be lifted "immediately" a deal is signed - and the remaining sanctions lifted "within reasonable time intervals", Ayatollah Khamenei said in a speech on Tuesday. He made no mention of EU sanctions. The hardliners have been at pains for more than a year-and-a-half to refrain from any public criticism of the government while the nuclear talks were in progress. The instructions to desist came from the Supreme Leader himself, who has called on all officials to ensure a united front was conveyed until the 30 June deadline. Double-edged remarks from Ayatollah Khamenei, such as "I am neither for nor against the deal", have kept both the pro- and anti-camp in Iran satisfied. The Supreme Leader has juxtaposed his position in several speeches, not only to survive a possible negative outcome but also to ensure he does not antagonise the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC). The IRGC has never been too convinced by the talks, except for the obvious benefits of lifting sanctions which have affected its multi-billion dollar business empire, though it has given the negotiators its cautious backing. Over the past few months there have been intensive debates inside the conservative-dominated parliament between the two camps. Most of the heated discussions have been behind closed doors, but some of it has slipped out on social media and the wider press. "The closer we get to the signing of the deal," said reformist Sharq newspaper on Monday, "the bigger becomes the wave of attacks, and insults on the government of Hassan Rouhani." Another article blamed former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's camp for "scheming for months" to ruin the prospects of success in the deal for Iran. The main voice of opposition in parliament is the faction that supports Mr Ahmadinejad, Mr Rouhani's predecessor. In moves not dissimilar to the Republicans in the US Senate, the faction known as Paidary (persistence) Front, has tabled several motions to try to give parliament the power to challenge a final deal. None has been successful, and its latest bill was amended in such a way as to take away the power of veto from parliament and put it in the hands of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), the top decision-making body in Iran and loyal to the Supreme Leader. It is chaired by President Rouhani and includes parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani and his brother Sadeq Larijani, who heads the judiciary. Its members are mainly hand-picked by Ayatollah Khamenei and also include the chiefs of the army and the IRGC, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and a handful of other ministers. That is why despite the verbal battles over the past few months, once the deal is sealed by the Supreme Leader there is little anyone can do to oppose it. The room for Iran's nuclear team to manoeuvre is limited. The oversight by SNSC would ensure that all requirements laid down by the Supreme Leader and the IRGC are met. Ayatollah Khamenei has made it clear he will not accept any inspection of military sites (a key demand of the so-called P5+1 interlocutors), backing the requirement laid out by the IRGC. Despite the red lines, President Rouhani and his negotiators are protected by the Supreme Leader's endorsement. The danger, however, would be if the deal failed or faced serious obstacles after the 30 June deadline. In that case, although Ayatollah Khamenei may continue to call for calm, the IRGC, and the conservatives, angered at the failure to lift sanctions, would push the Supreme Leader to take a harder line, switching their substantive majority in parliament against the president, making it difficult for him to increase the reformist share of seats in the next parliamentary election due in February. The president may continue to wield support from the public at large, but the machinations of those dominant groups are likely to make his position untenable for the next presidential elections due in June 2017. It is with a view of those elections that not only the president but also all parliamentary factions are leaving themselves room for jockeying.

Summarize. output: As international talks over Iran's nuclear programme come down to the wire, the success or failure to strike a deal could be make or break for President Hassan Rouhani. Article: McGeehan was booed by a section of home fans as he was carried off on a stretcher at Fratton Park on Monday. Luton manager Nathan Jones said some supporters showed a lack of "class" towards midfielder McGeehan. "If they knew what they know now, they would be generally disappointed with how they reacted," Cook said. "It's a sad incident for Cameron, he's got a very bright future in the game," the Portsmouth manager told BBC Radio Solent. "The incident (McGeehan being treated on the pitch) went on for some time and I think people got caught up in the clamour. "It was a moment I don't think our fans realised the extent of the boy's injury. By the time they had, it was obviously too late and we've let ourselves down, there's no issue about that. "We feel everything as a club and, as a club, we don't want to be letting ourselves down. We want people to speak about us really well. "All we can do is apologise for our behaviour in that moment and wish Cameron a speedy recovery." ++++++++++ Summarize: Portsmouth manager Paul Cook feels a number of supporters "let themselves down" in their reaction to Luton's Cameron McGeehan breaking his leg. Question: Article:The money will spent on buying more stock, equipment and build a clean-water plant to prepare the shellfish. Roger Hall, from Porlock Futures, said: "In five years time we hope to be turning over about a quarter of a million oysters a year." The grant will also enable the project based in Porlock to operate as a community interest company (CIC). The grant has come from Power to Change, a charitable trust which gives out lottery money to help CICs being set up. In addition, £50,000 in low-interest loans has been pledged by members of the local community. The oyster stock is bought in as "seeds" which are then placed into plastic mesh bags attached to metal trestle tables, and put in the sea. It takes about three years for the oysters to mature before they are harvested. In about eight years time, the aim is to produce around 500,000 oysters a year. The clean-water, or depuration, plant would be built in a shed in Porlock Weir by the end of April. The aim over the next 18 months is to sell the shellfish to local restaurants in Somerset and Devon. "We've got a lot of interest from a lot of restaurants, as it will be a niche product and it's going to help a lot with tourism." added Mr Hall. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
A £75,000 lottery grant has been secured by a shellfish farming project in a Somerset village.

The start-up will now be able work on Microsoft's government cloud. Kind's software, which is called Agrisoft Seed to Sale, "closes the loop between marijuana-related businesses, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions," a press release said. Microsoft told the BBC in an emailed statement that it supported "government customers and partners to help them meet their missions". "Kind Financial is building solutions on our government cloud to help these agencies regulate and monitor controlled substances and items, and manage compliance with jurisdictional laws and regulations," the Microsoft spokesperson said. Microsoft is based in Washington where cannabis is legal. Kind said that Microsoft's cloud platform was the only one of its kind "designed to meet government standards for the closely regulated cannabis compliance programmes", The Weed Blog reported. Microsoft told the Weed Blog it was looking forward to working with Kind "to help our government customers launch successful regulatory programs." summary: Microsoft has teamed up with California-based technology start-up Kind Financial, which helps businesses and government agencies track sales of legalised marijuana "from seed to sale". Text: Tuchel left after two years in charge on Tuesday, three days after winning the German Cup. "It is not the result alone that matters," chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke wrote in an open letter to fans. "What also matters are fundamental values such as trust and respect." The letter added: "It is about teamwork, communication, authenticity and identification. The ability to communicate and work as a team, reliability and loyalty. "The fact that Dortmund and Tuchel are parting company has provoked criticism and a lack of understanding from some sections of our fan base. We, the people responsible for the board of management, can understand this. "With Thomas Tuchel at the helm, Dortmund enjoyed two successful years in which our sporting objectives were achieved. "However, we - sporting director Michael Zorc and myself - also did not always see eye to eye with the coaching staff during this period. "Unfortunately, we no longer believed the current coaching arrangement offered us a foundation for a successful future collaboration based on trust. "Following intensive talks we ultimately decided the best measure would be not to extend the co-operation with the coaching staff beyond the end of the 2016/17 season. This joint decision is unanimously supported by all committees within the club." Relations between Tuchel and Watzke had been strained since Dortmund's team bus was damaged by an explosion on 11 April. Tuchel had claimed neither he nor his players were consulted about whether they should play their Champions League quarter-final home tie against Monaco less than 24 hours later. Watzke denied that was the case and said the claim had annoyed him. The match went ahead and Dortmund were beaten 3-2. On an official Twitter account created on Tuesday, Tuchel wrote: "I am grateful for two exciting, beautiful and eventful years. It's a pity to not go on. "Thank you to the fans, the team, the staff and to all who have supported us." Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga to qualify for next year's Champions League having reached the quarter-finals of this season's competition. summary: Fan criticism following Thomas Tuchel's departure as Borussia Dortmund boss prompted the club's chief executive to issue a statement questioning the manager's "reliability and loyalty". Text: The dramatic 15-15 draw in the third and final Test saw the Lions share the series with the All Blacks. "I'm very humbled," said Davies, who played every minute of the three Tests. "I'm chuffed to bits to get the award and to be voted by my peers. But you look back at it as a team effort, 40-odd players, I don't know how many." The 29-year-old Scarlets player added: "We dug in, we achieved something very special and I'm chuffed to bits." Davies is the third successive Welsh player to be voted the Lions' player of the series, following full-back Leigh Halfpenny against Australia in 2013 and centre Jamie Roberts in South Africa four years earlier. Saturday's draw in Auckland was Davies' sixth successive Test start for the Lions, having played all three in their victorious tour of Australia in 2013. Although they fell short of another triumph in New Zealand, Davies believes the Lions proved their worth with a drawn series against the world champions. "Definitely. You look at the fans coming out here, I don't know how many thousands but last week it was almost like playing a home Test," he said. "I think it can't be questioned. The Lions is something so special, to players as well. This tour has been a great advert for that. "Coming out here, people expected [the All Blacks to win] 3-0 and didn't give us a chance. "What we did was come together, we became a team from four different countries and it was a great achievement for us, and I think we can hold our heads high." summary:
Wales centre Jonathan Davies has been voted the British and Irish Lions' player of the series by his team-mates after Saturday's draw with New Zealand.

Summarize this article: He is accused by Ukrainian officials of embezzling millions of dollars in public funds. Mr Yanukovych was ousted after clashes between police and protesters in Kiev left dozens dead, mainly demonstrators. Afterwards, Russia moved to annexe Crimea from Ukraine and conflict broke out in parts of eastern Ukraine. Russia has denied fomenting the violence in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where a frequently violated ceasefire is in place. Ukrainian military officials said on Monday that there had been an increase in rebel attacks on their positions. Germany's foreign minister is due to meet colleagues from Russia, Ukraine and France in an attempt to reach an agreement on a potential summit of leaders in Kazakhstan this week. Germany has stressed that a summit will only take place if it leads to "concrete progress". A red notice for ex-President Yanukovych appeared on Interpol's website on Monday. Under a red notice, Interpol's role is described as assisting a national police force in "identifying and locating these persons with a view to their arrest and extradition or similar lawful action". Mr Yanukovych, 64, was last seen in a photograph with US film director Oliver Stone, which was said to have been taken in Moscow in December, BBC Kiev correspondent David Stern reports. An unconfirmed report by Interfax news agency said Russia was likely to decline a request for his extradition. The decision to issue the notice was taken by a special Interpol commission, according to Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, after months of reasoning from the authorities in Kiev. Similar red notices were also issued for ex-Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and Iurii Kolobov, a former finance minister, as well as Georgii Dzekon, ex-chairman of Ukrtelecom. Mr Avakov said a warrant had been issued for Mr Yanukovych's son Olexander, although that could not be confirmed on the Interpol website. Ukraine's new government accuses the former president of ordering snipers to fire on protesters, although he rejects the accusations against him.
Interpol has placed deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on its wanted list, almost one year after he fled to neighbouring Russia.

input: Article: A system of presumed consent will take effect on 1 December, where people will have to opt-out if they do not want their organs used after death. Living donors who lack the mental capacity to express a view could also be deemed to consent to donation by experts acting in their best interests. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said the "fundamental change" gave hope to over 200 people in Wales needing new organs. Under the new law, people are invited to register their wish to donate their organs or not, with the assumption that they consent to donation if they do not register a view. It has been described as a "soft opt-out" system, where family and friends will be consulted about the dead person's view on organ donation but do not have a veto. A TV campaign and touring roadshow have been raising awareness of the changing rules. In September, the Welsh government revealed more than 109,000 people joined the organ donation register between 2010-11 and 2014-15 - an increase from 30% to 34% of the Welsh population. Summarize. output: New organ donation rules which presume consent have been finalised by AMs. input: Article: Security has been tightened at Garissa University College nine months after the attack by militant Islamist group al-Shabab. Staff reported to work last week to get the campus in north-east Kenya ready. Last year's attack was the deadliest so far by the Somali-based group in Kenya. The campus has been closed since the attack and at the time some 650 students were offered places at a sister campus in Eldoret, western Kenya, to continue their studies. They were not expected to return to Garissa but the authorities are hoping to attract a new cohort of students by the start of the academic year in September. Shamsi Abdi Barre: "I have the memories of lost friends, the environment gives me flashbacks... but life must go on." Shamsi Abdi Barre, third-year student, Garissa University College Only about a dozen students arrived and attended a business management class, including Shamsi Abdi Barre. She told the BBC that though she is happy the university has reopened, she has "a lot of memories of lost friends [and] the environment gives me a lot of flashbacks". The BBC's Angela Ngendo in Garissa says that those who turned up were third-year students who worked in the local area. They told her they wanted to complete their classes so they could graduate. Student Lovender Moseti has decided not to go back. She told the AP news agency that she did not want to "remember everything that happened" and said she "would not be comfortable" returning despite the strengthened security. Al-Shabab has launched several attacks on Kenya, saying they are in revenge for Kenya's decision to send troops to Somalia, where they are helping government forces against the al-Qaeda affiliated group. Summarize. output: Teaching has resumed at the Kenyan university where 148 students died in a gun attack last April but only a few students have turned up for its reopening. input: Article: Mr Nesbitt, 54, defeated South Down assembly member John McCallister by 536 votes to 129 in the contest at the UUP annual general meeting in Belfast. He said he wanted the UUP to become "the party of choice for every pro-union voter in Northern Ireland". "I want everyone in this country to get out of bed with a sense of purpose," said the former broadcaster. "I want this party to wake up with a sense of purpose. "I want us to reach out to become the party of choice for every pro-union voter in Northern Ireland, including those who still say they want a united Ireland, but privately accept there is no longer a single reason not to enjoy their continued membership of the United Kingdom." At the centre of the campaign was whether to back Mr Nesbitt's plan to remain part of the coalition Northern Ireland Executive and keep the party's one ministerial position, or to go into opposition as favoured by Mr McCallister. Mr Nesbitt takes over from Tom Elliott, who announced earlier this month he was standing down as leader after just 18 months in the job. Mr Nesbitt is a former presenter of UTV news. He began his career as a sports presenter at the BBC, and he anchored the flagship Good Morning Ulster radio programme for a number of years. At UTV, he presented its evening news programme for 10 years before leaving in 2006. He became a Victims' Commissioner in 2008. He left the commission when he joined the UUP in 2010. Summarize. output: Strangford MLA Mike Nesbitt has been elected the new leader of the Ulster Unionist Party. input: Article: About 80 youth workers met in Belfast on Monday to express their concerns about the future of the funding. The Education Authority (EA) wrote to youth centres warning there was no indication further additional funding would be available from April. But Education Minister Peter Weir said he had not taken any decision to remove the money. The Department of Education introduced extra funding for additional youth programmes in 2011. It has been used since then by many youth centres to employ additional full and part-time staff, and extend opening hours. The EA said: "The provision of this funding is reviewed annually and is always subject to availability." However, Keith McAughtery from Holy Trinity Youth Centre in west Belfast said the £45,000 in additional money his centre received each year had become crucial. "It allowed us to double the amount of hours we opened," he said. "We could operate after-schools provision three days a week, and open later on Wednesday and Thursday nights and until 23:30 or midnight on a Friday and Saturday." "We were also able to send staff to work with young people out on the streets." Stephen Hughes from St Peter's Immaculata youth centre said that if the additional funding was not renewed it would affect all sides of the community. "This is not a party political issue," he said. "At St Peter's we'll lose eight part-time staff, and in the wider Falls we're talking about 18 or 19 staff." "It'll totally impact on anti-social behaviour." "We're seeing a substantial decrease in crime and drug use in this community and youth services have had that impact across the north." In a statement, EA Chief Executive Gavin Boyd said it was "standard practice to place staff employed as part of funded initiatives on 'protective notice' until detailed budgets are confirmed". "As the youth budget for 2017/18 is not yet known, in line with statutory procedures, EA has written to the management committees of the relevant youth organisations to advise that the continuation of funding cannot yet be confirmed beyond March 2017," he said. Mr Weir said: "These annual letters have been used to scaremonger and create anxiety for youth workers." However, he admitted that uncertainty over the 2017-18 budget had created "confusion". "The current political uncertainty has clearly raised anxiety over budgets generally," he said. "However, I want to reassure those working in the youth sector that I have not proposed to withdraw or reduce support for these important initiatives. "I greatly value the work of the youth sector in supporting young people to improve their overall life chances. "I remain committed to ensuring that the needs of young people are prioritised in line with current policy objectives and within the resources available." Summarize. output:
Hundreds of jobs are at risk if around £3.5m of annual youth service funding is withdrawn, youth leaders warn.

In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 index jumped 2.1% to finish at 18,825.30 points. Stocks were lifted in Japan by the positive signals coming overnight from the European Central Bank as well as the strong close on Wall Street. A weaker yen also suggested a good day for the country's crucial export sector. Car maker Toyota and electronics giants Sony and Toshiba all saw solid gains of as much as 2%. Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 1.34% at 23,151.94, while the benchmark Shanghai Composite on China's mainland closed up 1.3% at 3,412.43.

Q: Dina Mitchell told ABC News that the Flex 2 began to combust on her wrist while she was reading a book. "It burned the heck out of my arm," she said. Fitbit has said it is "extremely concerned" and is now looking into the issue, though it sees "no reason" for people to stop wearing the Flex 2. Ms Mitchell said she quickly removed the tracker from her arm and threw it on the floor. A doctor had to take small pieces of plastic and rubber out of the wound following the incident, she claimed. "We are not aware of any other complaints of this nature and see no reason for people to stop wearing their Flex 2," Fitbit said in a statement. "We will share additional information as we are able."

Meanwhile, IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said: "The MCA can only recommend a ban, the final decision will be taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India [BCCI]." Mr Deshmukh told a press conference after Friday's meeting in Mumbai that "Shah Rukh Khan's behaviour was not proper and against the rules". "If rules are violated, action will be taken. It does not depend who the individual is. It's a message to everyone whosoever he or she may be that stern action will be taken if there is any misbehaviour," he said. "The rules apply to all - no one is above them." The MCA chief added that the actor had "shown no regrets for his action and behaviour, in fact, he justified his actions". Mr Deshmukh said the decision to ban the actor was "a unanimous" one and would apply to "any match, whether domestic or international". The MCA has filed a police complaint against the actor. Khan, whose team won Wednesday night's match against the Mumbai Indians, said the stadium officials had been "very rude" to him. "They were extremely aggressive. Some of the things they said I don't even want to repeat. And yes I got angry," he told reporters on Thursday. The actor said he had not watched the match but gone to the stadium to pick up a group of 30 youngsters and his own children who had watched the match. Khan is one of Bollywood's biggest stars.

Summarize this article in one sentence. Incumbent President Mahamadou Issoufou looks set to secure a second term in office, as opposition candidate Hama Amadou has been evacuated from prison to France for specialized medical treatment just days before the run-off, raising concerns over the poll. The former parliamentary speaker and prime minister has been in detention in the south-western town of Filingue since November 2015 over allegations of baby trafficking. He has dismissed the charges as politically motivated. Niger is seen as a key ally in the fight against Boko Haram, and President Issoufou has been praised in the West for rallying neighbouring countries to fight the group. President Issoufou seems poised for victory in the run-off, having narrowly missed outright victory in the first round with 48% of the vote. Having garnered only 17%, it will be difficult for Mr Amadou to bridge the gap despite the opposition alliance backing him. Mixed messages about a poll boycott are also likely to weaken his chances. It is still unclear if the Opposition Coalition for Change (COPA 2016) - an alliance formed to back Mr Amadou - will take part in the vote, having announced a boycott. The opposition has said it will not recognise the outcome, saying Mr Amadou's imprisonment prevented him from campaigning, among other complaints; while the government's handling of his medical condition is a sensitive issue that could inflame tensions. The nature of Mr Amadou's illness is not clear, but the government says he has "a chronic illness which he has suffered from for three years". The 66-year-old received medical treatment for an eye condition recently. On 14 March, he reportedly lost consciousness before being revived at the prison clinic, his doctor telling a local TV station that he had fainted. The doctor was later arrested for "revealing medical confidentiality and spreading false news". On 16 March, it was reported that Amadou had been flown to France for "specialist treatment", with the government claiming that he was suffering from "general fatigue". The opposition has made conflicting statements about their participation. On 8 March, COPA 2016 announced its withdrawal on account of "irregularities and massive fraud". However, the coalition reportedly did not consult Mr Amadou about the boycott, and his camp later asserted that he would take part in the vote. The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) says the opposition candidate's name will be on the ballot because he had not formally withdrawn his candidacy by the cut-off date of 10 March. The governing Niger Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS) says the vote will proceed with or without the opposition, accusing its rivals of fearing "dismal defeat". More about Niger Niger is fragile and its stability is at stake as one of the poorest countries in Africa. It also finds itself on the frontline in the fight against jihadist group Boko Haram, and Mr Issoufou has been active in rallying a regional force against the group. The president claimed to have foiled a coup against him in December, and military officers and opposition leaders were subsequently arrested. Seen as a key ally of the West in ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the vast Sahel region, the incumbent president has been described as one of French President Francois Hollande's "most loyal African partners". It has also been attacked by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. A vast, arid state on the edge of the Sahara desert, Niger is rated by the UN as one of the world's least-developed nations. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world. You can follow BBC Monitoring on Twitter and Facebook. Summary:
The second round of the Niger presidential election takes place on Sunday 20 March, and the result may have implications for regional stability and the fight against Islamist terrorism in West Africa.

Summarize: The Dadaab camp in Kenya is home to more than 300,000 Somalis. Mr Nkaisserry said Kenya would work closely with the UN and the Somali government to repatriate the refugees. Dadaab was set up in 1991 to house families fleeing conflict in Somalia, and some people have been living there for more than 20 years. Kenya says it wants to close the camp over security concerns, saying attacks on its soil have been planned there. Mr Nkaisserry said the decision was final. Kenya did not follow through on a previous threat to close down the camp, made last April following the deadly attack by Somali militant group al-Shabab on a university 100km (62 miles) away. The al-Qaeda linked group has staged several attacks on Kenya in recent years. Kenya has set aside $10m (£6.8m) for repatriation, which Mr Nkaisserry insisted would carried out in a humane manner. Summary:
The world's largest refugee camp will close in November, Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Nkaisserry has announced.

Article: The legendary comedy was blocked by councillors in 1980, who slapped it with an X rating. But the 19-seat Bournemouth Colosseum has screened the film after the authority recently relaxed its stance. Cinema boss Paul Whitehouse described the historic showing as "a bit of fun". Mr Whitehouse, who runs the cinema underneath a cafe, laid on a three-course meal as part of the special event. It is thought to be the first time the Life of Brian has been shown in public in the town since the row over its certificate. "The council has relaxed its attitude now but in the early 1980s there was a very different view and they felt empowered to judge what the residents should watch," Mr Whitehouse said. "I remember at the time when it came out people just went to Southampton to see it. "It doesn't get better for a film than when phrases from it become part of British language." Dave Harvey, who was at the screening, said: "It is one of my favourite films. "Monty Python films are iconic comedy from the 60s and 70s and I am looking forward to watching it at the first screening in Bournemouth. "I didn't realise tonight that I was going to be making local history." Life of Brian - the story of a man born in a stable next door to Jesus Christ and subsequently mistaken for the Messiah - sparked accusations of blasphemy when it was released. Bournemouth council's environmental services committee saw the film and decided to raise the certificate from an AA to an X, meaning only those over 18 could see it. The distributors had said it could only be shown in areas where it had an AA rating. Train driver Adrian Cox asked the council recently to change its stance so he could put on a private screening for his birthday. It was only after licensing officers agreed that it could be shown. Colin Robinson gave the film 9.5 out of 10 and said: "I couldn't understand why they banned such an amusing film. "It is like reliving my student days. "It is the freedom that the Monty Python squad gave to life, without any care at all." ++++++++++ Summarize: Monty Python's Life of Brian has received its "first-ever" public screening in Bournemouth, 35 years after a battle with censors saw it banned from the seaside town. Problem: Patricia Smith, 37, said she felt the call had served little purpose. On Tuesday Rachel Fee and her partner Nyomi were found guilty of murdering Rachel's two-year-old son Liam in Fife. The couple were convicted of assaulting and killing the young child at his home in Thornton in March 2014. They had blamed another boy for the murder. Ms Smith, an office administrator, was one of several witnesses who raised concerns about two-year-old Liam before he was murdered. Speaking to Good Morning Scotland she described how she contacted social services after getting a "gut wrenching" feeling that something was wrong. She described how she had never seen anything like it before and knew she had to raise her concerns. Ms Smith explained said: "I had passed them in the street. I noticed he [Liam] was lying flat in the buggy. He had a blanket over his head and the mother told me he wasn't sleeping, he was actually awake. "At that point that's when alarm bells started ringing. She then went on to state he had autism, again this was something that couldn't be right because I knew the little boy. "It was then that I got this gut-wrenching feeling and decided to speak to my line manager [at work] and call child protection services." She went on to say that she thought she had known what a gut wrenching feeling felt like "until that day". Ms Smith added: "That's the only way I can explain how bad I felt at the time." However, after contacting social services she felt she should not have bothered as they had suggested everyone had different parenting skills. Mrs Smith said: "They told me that they would send a health visitor round, but the feeling I got after that call was that I shouldn't have bothered. "I personally felt like they were maybe getting quite a few calls about them and this one was just another one on the list that was creating them more work. "I know obviously that social workers do a great job, but I came away from that call thinking that I shouldn't have bothered." A significant case review has begun. What was that article about? A: A woman who lived near the family of murdered toddler Liam Fee has told how she contacted social services after getting a "gut wrenching" feeling something was wrong with the boy. Problem: The committee has voiced serious concerns over the financial stability of the health trusts. The criticisms are made in its general report on the health sector. It also raised concern over breaches in hospital waiting time targets, especially for cancer patients. Some of the recommendations are targeted at helping the trusts break even. The report found that despite only the Western Trust failing to break even in 2014-15, with a deficit of £6.6m, this masks an underlying funding gap for trusts from that year. The funding gap is reckoned to be over £131m. This will be carried forward to 2015-16. The report makes now familiar criticisms associated with high levels of spending on locum doctors as well as what it described as the "mediocre" implementation of Transforming Your Care. The report suggests that Northern Ireland could follow Scotland's lead and benefit from a three-year budget, instead of the constraints of an annual budget in which money cannot be carried over. The chairperson of the committee, Michaela Boyle, said the health and social care bodies are facing an unprecedented financial squeeze. "Although the health and social care sector has been more generously funded than other areas of public spending over recent years, it faces an ever increasing demand for its services," she said. "This is partially as a result of an ageing population as well as increasing chronic conditions such as diabetes. "Putting the health and social care trusts on a sustainable footing is a major challenge, unless there is a significant change in funding or transformation of services. "One significant problem that the health and social care trusts face is that they are unable to carry forward unused funds from one year to the next, impeding their ability to undertake longer-term financial planning." Among the other recommendations in the report is a call for the health department to provide a detailed explanation of how it will tackle the issue of consultant shortages. It also calls on the health service to redesign the way it provides services. Failing to do so will mean trusts will find it difficult to operate within their budgets. The report also highlights Northern Ireland's heavy reliance on locum doctors. It repeats previous criticism that the practice adds to the trusts' increasing spend, particularly within the Western Trust where difficulties in recruiting and keeping permanent consultants continues to put pressure on budgets. What was that article about? A:
Northern Ireland's Public Accounts Committee has said it is hard to see how the local health and social care model can be sustained as financial savings start to dry up.

Article:Not a recommendation you'd hear very often, frankly, about most companies' financial reporting. But rather than seeming designed to confuse and mislead, Next's report crisply spells out the challenges it's facing. And of course it's not just Next that's up against it, it's the High Street as a whole. A stark reminder of the difficulties came just yesterday when "value" shoe retailer Brantano went into administration, its pricier sister company Jones Bootmaker is up for sale. One of the administrators said the fall in the pound and a change in shopping habits were key factors. Next's results reflect these trends in spades. It's annual profits have fallen for the first time in eight years and it doesn't seem in the mood to pull any punches. The most obvious challenge is the continuing gravitation to online shopping. Next Directory sales have been rising every year for the past 10. This time they rose by 4% to £1.7bn but sales in the stores - pretty much flat for the past 10 years - fell by nearly 3% to £2.3bn. It's still a significant chunk of business, and as Next points out in its statement, it's still opening new shops. However, it concedes that with increasing amounts of business being transferred online "it is legitimate to question the long term viability of retail stores and whether the possession of a retail portfolio is an asset or a liability". Its conclusion is that the stores are indeed "valuable" assets which will remain profitable "even in very difficult circumstances". Nevertheless it has painstakingly worked through a scenario of what would happen if retail sales continued to decline at "high rates" for the next decade, and it says the stores could be "managed down profitably". Another issue which leaps out from the pages of Next's statement is the change in what the UK consumer is prepared to spend money on. A new dress or pair of shoes is no longer the go-to quick fix of choice, it seems. Instead Next quotes Barclaycard figures which show the growth in spending on pubs, restaurants and entertainment, compared with High Street clothing in the last three months of 2016. "We believe that these numbers demonstrate the continuing trend towards spending on experiences away from 'things'," says Next. "Shifts in consumer spending patterns are not unusual and we expect that the trend will stabilise and reverse at some point," it continues. As if the fickleness of shoppers were not enough, of course, consumers have finally woken up to the fact that higher inflation means their money spreads more thinly. The fall in sterling since the Brexit vote has pushed up the cost of imports for the likes of Next, although it says it doesn't expect price rises to be any worse in the second half of the year, and "they may be a little better". Nevertheless, it doesn't see inflationary pressures easing until the second half of next year. Meantime, it says, inflation is "slowly rising to the level of general wages growth and look set to continue to do so for the remainder of the year, we therefore expect a continuing squeeze on real incomes in the year ahead". Added to this Next has is own internal problems which it's dealing with, including taking its eye off the ball in terms of stocking its "heartland" products. That is "easy to wear styles that can be delivered in large volumes and great prices across several colours". In short, Next reckons the year ahead looks "tough" with a "combination of economic, cyclical and internal factors working against us". But it's worth remembering this is not the first time Next - or retailers in general - have confronted such a mountain of adversity. Back at the start of the financial crisis in 2008, the number of retailers exiting the High Street seemed unstoppable. Woolworths went, and that was the last time Next saw profits drop. As chairman John Barton points out today "by the following year our profits had started to grow again and our share price recovered strongly in the following years. "I believe that by focusing on our core strengths as we did during 2008, we will see Next emerge from this period stronger than before" he adds. Investors may well agree. Next's shares were up following the release of the results, and not just because they were a textbook example of how a company should get its message across. Summarize the main points of that article.

Gajendra Singh hanged himself from a tree on Wednesday at the gathering attended by a few thousand people. Politicians have been trading blame over his death. On Thursday, activists from the opposition Congress party and the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) protested outside Mr Kejriwal's house. They accused Mr Kejriwal of insensitivity in having continued his rally after the farmer hanged himself, as well as responsibility for the death itself. Mr Kejriwal has blamed government policies which he says led to the farmer's death. The police have also been accused of failing to prevent the death, while some have questioned whether the farmer had intended to kill himself. The police have also been accused of failing to prevent the death, while some have questioned whether the farmer had intended to kill himself. In the interview on Friday morning, the chief minister for the first time admitted that it was a bad idea to go ahead with the rally, but said he could not see the tree from which the farmer hanged himself because it was at a distance from the stage. "If we had any inkling that he would do something like that, someone would have acted," he said, adding that "the incident took place in front of me. I am not able to digest it, I could not sleep that night". Mr Singh had come from Rajasthan to attend the farmers' rally convened by Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's controversial land acquisition bill. Opponents of the bill say it will hurt the interests of farmers but the government says it will boost the economy. The bill was passed in the lower house of parliament last month but has not yet been approved by the upper house, where Mr Modi's BJP is in the minority. More than 300,000 Indian farmers have killed themselves since 1995 because of mounting debts and poor harvests. But correspondents say Gajendra Singh's death is the most high-profile incident of its kind, taking place as it did before thousands of people at a rally in the capital.

Summarize this article: On 11 May 2013, Ben Watson's winner caused one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup final history as Wigan beat Manchester City to secure the first major trophy of their 81-year history. By 3 May 2015, they could be looking at spending next season in League One. Wigan have five games to stay in the Championship and are eight points from safety. It is a huge task for a managerless side, who have not won a home league game since August and have seen three bosses come and go since that FA Cup triumph under Roberto Martinez. So how have Wigan found themselves in this predicament? When Mackay was dismissed on Monday, the club statement noting that no decision had been made on a replacement featured accompanying quotes from 23-year-old chairman David Sharpe, grandson of owner Dave Whelan. The fact the youngster has found himself in such a lofty position is down to the bizarre circumstances surrounding Mackay's appointment last November by previous chairman Whelan. The Scot was still under investigation by the Football Association for allegedly sending racist, sexist and homophobic text messages while in charge at Cardiff City. Whelan's judgement was called into question and it was queried further when the then 77-year-old made racist and anti-Semitic comments himself. Whelan apologised but was still banned and fined by the FA - though it concluded he was not a racist - and the embarrassing episode led to Sharpe replacing him as chairman after 20 years in the role. For a man who had taken Wigan from the fourth tier of English football to the Premier League in 10 years, it was a ignominious withdrawal from football's front line. It might be too late to save the side from demotion now, but at least with Mackay gone, any further repercussions from his ongoing investigation will not land Wigan in more trouble. It may be tempting to cast Wigan as a side that disintegrated once Martinez left but perhaps the real downfall has come with the abandonment of the club's managerial stability. Martinez was in place for four years between June 2009 and June 2013, but since then Wigan have been through three bosses - Owen Coyle, Uwe Rosler and now Mackay. "Wigan have gone through this really strange phase, where they used to be a club that didn't sack their manager very readily," says BBC football commentator John Motson. "Obviously they've decided they want to start again and whoever gets the job will be doing it in League One." Martinez cannot absolve himself of all responsibility, though. The Spaniard led the team to FA Cup glory and Europe, yet he also oversaw their relegation to the Championship three days later, ending an eight-season stay in the top flight. In some senses Martinez's success also led to Wigan's predicament the following season. Combining a gruelling Championship schedule with the Europa League left his replacement, Coyle, with little time to stamp his authority on the team. Coyle, who led Burnley to the Premier League in 2009, was given funds to build his own side, but he lasted less than six months in the job with Whelan having reservations about the Scot's team selections. His compensation package cost £500,000. Former Brentford boss Uwe Rosler fared better as he guided the Latics to the 2014 FA Cup semi-finals and the Championship play-offs. However, three wins in 17 league games this season, and a defeat by League Two Burton in the Capital One Cup was enough for Whelan to act again. The German was in the job less than 12 months. His successor Mackay had led Cardiff to the 2012 League Cup final and into the Premier League the following season so there was some sympathy when he was sacked by owner Vincent Tan - but rather less of it once the accusations about the Scot's text messages came to light. Whelan was keen to emphasise Mackay had learned from his mistakes - and presumably hopeful an improvement on the field would see the issue of his past behaviour set aside. But he could not improve their wretched home form and took only 19 points from a possible 72. Relegation from the Premier League always challenges a club to balance the books and it has led to a player overhaul at the DW Stadium. The blow for relegated clubs is softened by so-called 'parachute payments' - Wigan have received £32m since they dropped into the Championship and are due another £16m over the next two years. Yet four managers in three years has meant a lack of continuity on the field, and defender Emmerson Boyce is the only player left from the FA Cup-winning side. Midfielder James McCarthy and forward Arouna Kone were the first to move on as they joined Martinez at Everton in the summer of 2013. Coyle used the Premier League funds to recruit the likes of winger James McClean, plus strikers Grant Holt and Marc-Antoine Fortune. But after he and Rosler failed deliver a return to the top flight, Jordi Gomez left for Sunderland and James McArthur headed to Crystal Palace. And the break-up of the Wembley team was almost complete when Mackay oversaw the departures of Watson, Shaun Maloney and Callum McManaman in January's transfer window. Mackay said after those losses: "I have made it clear that we need a squad of hungry players who are 100% focused and committed to the job here." Perhaps those departing had seen where things were heading. Wigan's win at Wembley was the pinnacle for a club that was at the foot of the fourth tier when Whelan took over in 1995. Their rise to the Premier League over the next decade, and the eight years they spent there, is a remarkable feat. But critics of the team's success have always pointed at poor attendances at the DW Stadium, with their average home gate only rising above 20,000 for one season of their Premier League stint. That average dropped from 19,375 during their last season in the top flight to 15,176 in last season's Championship campaign, and this season it has slumped to 12,780. Given it is a town more associated with rugby league, some will say Wigan are now re-finding their real level after a stellar period. Former Luton boss David Pleat said: "Someone once told me, if your club hasn't got enough of a captive audience - chimney pots, he described it - you need to be in an area where, if you get success, you can attract crowds and unfortunately Wigan have never been able to do that. "They did wonderfully well to stay in the top division for eight seasons, emulating Watford, Wimbledon and Luton. It is so difficult to do these days when the big clubs get the big revenues. "I just feel there's an inevitability about their situation now - it's a great shame and just proves how well they did to win a cup and to do so well in the Premier League." Summary:
Only 138 days separated the hiring and firing of Wigan manager Malky Mackay - but perhaps more significant is the likely turnaround between the Latics winning the FA Cup as a Premier League team and being relegated to the third tier.

It could raise $20 billion (£12bn) which would make it bigger than Facebook's IPO, which raised $16 billion in 2012 and was the previous biggest share sale for an internet company. That deal gave Facebook a market value of over $100 billion. By comparison, analysts are valuing Alibaba at over $100 billion and even up to $200 billion. In terms of internet companies, that is only smaller in size than Google (worth about $400 billion) and Facebook (now valued at over $200 billion). In fact, Alibaba's share sale would be close in size to the biggest IPO in history which was the record $22.1 billion raised by the Chinese state-owned commercial bank, Agricultural Bank of China, in 2010. So are investors just buying into China's massive e-commerce market? With only about half of the 1.3 billion people in the world's most populous nation online, there is huge potential. Compare that to the US, with over 300 million people, but nearly 90% internet penetration. Importantly, Alibaba accounts for over three-quarters of all online retail sales in China, so its growth can plausibly track the overall market which I have written about before. That's why it has had impressive annual revenue growth of 40-50% according to its own filings. By the way, Alibaba's growth is impressive even though double digit sales growth is not uncommon for Chinese companies. The country regularly posts retail sales growth figures of over 10% per year. The bigger question is whether it can defend its market share with emerging competitors. The company has a profit margin of over 40% which has been gradually coming down. In any case, it's also an impressive figure. One of the reasons is that Alibaba operates with minimal assets since its business is based on taking small commissions from its various websites, including Alibaba.com, Taobao, and T-mall. But, that may change as competition means that the company needs to invest and innovate. Alibaba has invested billions overseas and is expanding further into Europe and the US. But, there's competition not just abroad but at home. Chinese conglomerate Wanda has just teamed up with two of Alibaba's rivals, Baidu and Tencent, to form e-Wanda, a web portal that sells goods found on the web in stores including those owned by Wanda. Alibaba itself has already ventured into this space, investing $700 million into Chinese retailer, Intime Retail Group. Alibaba has also teamed up with Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to offer a fingerprint reader app that would eliminate the need for cumbersome passwords and could give it an edge over its competitors by offering more convenient online payments. It's clear that there is competition that could erode Alibaba's margins and more importantly, if it can maintain its dominant market share. Investors when they decide how much to pay for Alibaba's shares will be weighing up the pros and cons and that will determine what the company will be worth. One way to compare the values of companies is by using a price-to-earnings ratio, which compares profits to the share price. Tech companies tend to have high price-to-earnings ratios as investors believe in future profits. It has led to some worrying outcomes when some companies seem to be sold on potential and not actual earnings. Chinese companies also tend to have high ratios as there are not many blue chip companies that foreign investors can buy into. So, those which are listed on bourses in New York, Hong Kong and London receive a great deal of interest as proxies for investors trying to buy into the fast-growing consumer market in China. Looking at another Chinese giant, Hong Kong-listed Tencent, which is the largest listed web company in Asia, it has a price-to-earnings ratio of 30. Chinese search engine Baidu, which is listed in New York, has an even higher ratio. Globally, tech companies on average have had a ratio of 23 for the past decade and a half. Some analysts have put Alibaba's price-to-earnings ratio at 50 based on its profits last year of $3.6 billion, which would support a healthy valuation for the company. But, others have looked at pre-IPO private trades of shares that value it at less than $200 billion and closer to $150 billion. The latter provides very small amounts of information but can help guide the pricing of the stock at the IPO. We shall soon find out. In any case, though challenges are on the horizon for Alibaba, a huge Chinese market plus overseas expansion potential, a profitable business model, and optimism about future earnings make for a big IPO and will most likely put this Chinese company in the global record books. For more on corporate movers and shakers, watch Talking Business with Linda Yueh. Broadcast times are found at: Talking Business with Linda Yueh. What was that article about?
Next week, Alibaba is expected to sell shares for the first time in an initial public offering (IPO) in New York.

Article: Devil's Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale is a popular spot over the River Lune for "tombstoning", which involves leaping from height into water. A by-law prohibits jumping off the bridge but town councillor Paul Stephenson said it was being ignored. Sgt John Stephens from Cumbria Police said landing in the river from such a height was like "hitting concrete". He said: "People think it's similar to jumping off the side of your local swimming bath into the water. Well, it isn't. "It's bad enough hitting the water at speed from such a height but, if you hit a rock, obviously that's got dire consequences." He said the police could only issue fines if they catch people in the act and appealed for anyone seeing it happen to report it. Mr Stephenson said: "When the police come down, they all stop. "The police can enforce the bye-law to stop them jumping off but the police obviously aren't there all the time." ++++++++++ Summarize: Thrill-seekers are still jumping off a 40ft (12m) bridge in Cumbria where a man died last year, police have said.

Article: Dr Nihal Weerasena was accused of various failures in the care of six children and one adult while employed by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust between 2008 and 2012. The surgeon had claimed he was made "a scapegoat" for shortcomings at the unit. The tribunal will now decide whether his fitness to practise is impaired. The trust referred the doctor to the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2014 after a review of paediatric care services, which included looking at clinical outcomes. A report later concluded the unit did not have excessive mortality rates. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service found the surgeon had shown "substandard practice" in his treatment of a seven-year-old patient in 2012 in a "complex" surgery. However, he was cleared of missing a key event during the operation in his typed report which had appeared in his handwritten note. He also failed to keep an accurate record of surgery on a six-year-old patient in November 2010, the panel found. Failings also occurred in an operation on an eight-year-old patient in September 2010 to repair narrowing of the arteries into the heart. Dr Weerasena was cleared of failing to seek senior surgical help during another procedure and not explaining in his typed operation report why the patient had died. His treatment of two other children was also found to be substandard. An allegation involving his care of a sixth child was not proved. Another charge that he failed to obtain informed consent from a male patient to repair an aortic valve, when the patient was "100% certain" he was supposed to have a replacement, was proved. The surgeon did not attend the hearing in Manchester but explained his absence in writing and alleged he had been the victim of a "cover-up". ++++++++++ Summarize: A surgeon has been found guilty of misconduct after a number of errors at a hospital's child heart unit. Article: It said low inflation was adding to the benefits of higher employment and the positive effects of lower oil prices. Item Club chief economic adviser Peter Spencer said the financial markets seem prepared for further Greek problems. But potential headwinds were a weak government and EU referendum, he said. The forecast growth is slightly down on the 2.9% expansion that the Item Club previously predicted, due to official fourth-quarter GDP figures coming in weaker than expected. The Item Club forecasts growth in 2016 of 3%, up from 2.9% estimated previously. Inflation has fallen to zero in recent months and, along with improvements in employment, is boosting consumer confidence, the Item Club's spring forecast said. The report said an added bonus was coming from recovery in the eurozone, helped by the European Central Bank's €1.1 trillion (£790bn) asset purchase stimulus programme. The euro bloc's recovery should offset a hit to overseas trade from the strength of the pound, the Item Club said. Mr Spencer said: "The economy is taking the general election in its stride as 'noflation' trumps politics. The eurozone recovery is bedding in and completes the positive UK growth picture that we anticipate for 2015 and 2016. "This is a mirror image of what we saw in 2010-12, when unemployment and inflation were high and Europe was in the doldrums. "If the strength of the headwinds that held back the economy during the first years of the coalition is anything to go by, the tailwinds enjoyed by a new administration post 7 May should be strong enough to outweigh the effects of any political uncertainty." The report expects the eurozone recovery to boost trade - with UK exports predicted to rise by 5.9% this year and 4.9% in 2016. But Mr Spencer added: "However, it's not all plain sailing and possible risks around a weak government and an EU referendum remain. "In Europe, the Greek tragedy has yet to reach a denouement, although European banks and investors seem prepared for a disorderly outcome. "But worries about Ukraine and Russia have eased and we are confident that the UK economy would not falter from any of these shocks," he said. ++++++++++ Summarize:
Low inflation and stronger eurozone growth should help the UK economy expand 2.8% this year despite political uncertainty ahead of the election, according to an EY Item Club report.

Question: Article:The charity, which works to eradicate child illiteracy and gender inequality in education, builds libraries and stocks them with books. It's no surprise that its founder, John Wood, invokes the spirit of the 19th Century library-building steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie. In a sense, Room to Read has outstripped its spiritual mentor, building 17,500 libraries to Carnegie's 2,500. It has done so by combining the determination of a Carnegie with the logical, can-do attitudes of corporate giants such as Mr Wood's former employer, Bill Gates. Mr Wood was on a short break from work back in 1998, trekking in the foothills of Himalayas of Nepal, when the germ of the idea for Room to Read met him head-on. "It really came out of the blue," Mr Wood says. "I wish I could tell you that I was always focused on charitable endeavours, but the reality was that I was focused on myself, on my career, and on how much money I could sock away in my bank account." He was visiting a school in the mountain village of Bahundanda. It had a library but only a handful of books left by previous visitors. One of them was James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake and another a Lonely Planet Guide to Mongolia. Moreover, these books were considered so precious that they were kept in a locked cabinet, and never loaned to children. As he departed, the school's head said to Mr Wood that, if he were ever to return to the school, he could perhaps bring a few more books with him. He knew immediately what he had to do. The empty library had struck a deep resonance with his own childhood experience. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch "I grew up in a family that loved to read and always valued the written word," he says. "I tripped across the right cause in the right place at the right time." A year later he was back at the same school with 3,000 books. The reaction of the children was confirmation enough that he was taking the right course of action. He quit Microsoft to devote himself full-time to literacy in Nepal. Dinesh Shrestha, who had been working on polio eradication for an NGO, joined him and their work of creating school libraries in Nepal began in earnest. A few months on, another corporate high-flyer, Erin Ganju, who was working in Vietnam, got back in touch with her old friend Mr Wood. Soon after, she also quit her job, and these three became the co-founders of Room to Read, a non-profit organisation now working in 10 countries. Ms Ganju brought a business awareness of the need to build "scalability" into a project - knowing how to make something that works in 10 schools work just as well in 1,000 schools. Both she and Mr Wood emphasise several "non-negotiables" in the way Room to Read operates. The first principle is getting the support of the authorities in host countries. "I often say that 'non' in 'non-governmental organisation' does not mean you ignore the government," Mr Wood says. "We like to work on the basis of a tripartite agreement - Room to Read provides a lot of the capital and the training, the local community supplies the labour and some of the materials. "The third party is the ministry of education - they provide the teachers and librarians, and pay their salaries. We require them to do this, and we hold them to it." The charity also adheres to basic principles on the ways children are taught. It always works in the language of the local community - even though this often meant publishing their own books and teaching materials. It has published over a thousand children's titles in dozens of languages, ranging from Chinayanja from Zambia to Khmer for Cambodia, and from Telugu in India to Xitsonga in South Africa. As far as possible they employ local authors, illustrators and publishers. It has made Room to Read "one of the biggest publishers of children's books you've never heard of". Despite his Microsoft background, Mr Wood remains unconvinced about the value of digital technology at this level of education. Instead, the charity concentrates on the physical, sometimes literally concrete, resources. It has built 17,500 children's libraries and over 1,000 complete schools. Again, rules apply. The libraries have to meet certain standards. They are typically large enough to accommodate over 40 children at any one time. "The books are on shelves at children's eye level, they're not behind glass, there are no locked cabinets," Mr Wood explains. "We have child-sized furniture, child-friendly flooring, posters on the wall, and maps of the world. We encourage children to take books home and we check each week to see how many do." Everything is closely monitored, statistics are gathered and children's progress is evaluated. This way supporters can be told how effective their support has been. Teaching methodology is standardised to synthetic phonics, which they believe is the most effective method for children arriving at school with little or no exposure to texts. Room to Read has a second ambitious goal - gender equality in education. The Girls Education programme focuses on the transitional years when girls enter and leave secondary education. There are workshops, life skills camps and help for families with the costs of keeping a daughter in school. "Providing education for girls is the biggest no-brainer in the world of philanthropy," says Mr Wood. "Every time we raise £190 we can put a girl in school for a year. If a girl gets educated, she earns more money, she marries later, she becomes more empowered, is taken more seriously by society." The challenges against girls' education, such as the abduction of schoolgirls in Nigeria by Boko Haram, can seem intimidating. "Those groups want us to be depressed and frustrated, but this leads to indecisiveness and inaction. The antidote to these forces is action. Let's flood the zone, let's get as many girls into school as we can - that should be our response," said Mr Wood. There have also been natural disasters. He has been to Nepal to see the damage inflicted by this year's earthquake. It had been a heartbreaking experience, but Mr Wood was also inspired by people's determination to continue in makeshift schools. The upshot was an initial agreement to help the government rebuild 66 schools. Despite such setbacks, Room To Read's founders have ambitions to reach a further five million children by 2020: "Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: At some point this year, a child somewhere in the developing world became the ten millionth beneficiary of Room to Read, a non-profit organisation created 15 years ago after a high-flying Microsoft executive quit his job to help children in Nepal. Question: Article:Bernadette Smyth, who leads the anti-abortion group Precious Life, was replying to a prosecution lawyer. Mrs Smyth, of Suffolk Street, Ballymena, County Antrim, denies harassing Marie Stopes clinic director Dawn Purvis. The lawyer suggested she had laughed at Ms Purvis in a "cackling, jeering, mocking way, in a witch's manner." Ms Smyth replied: "I can't agree with this court that I'm a witch. I'm a Christian." The case concerns two incidents involving the accused that happened outside the Marie Stopes Clinic, Great Victoria Street, Belfast, in January and February. Ms Purvis runs the clinic and Ms Smyth was among anti-abortion protesters outside. Ms Purvis claimed that Ms Smyth harassed her. The Marie Stopes clinic opened in Belfast in October 2012, amid protests from anti-abortion groups. It provides medical termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks' gestation, subject to legal criteria being met. A woman can only have an abortion in Northern Ireland if it can be proven her life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. The case continues Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
An anti-abortion protester accused of behaving like a witch told a Belfast court: "I'm no witch, I'm a Christian".

Resuming on 2-1 in pursuit of 396 to win, the hosts were reduced to 72-4 by lunch and then lost Laurie Evans shortly after the interval. Tim Ambrose (27 not out) batted for nearly three hours, while Ian Bell top-scored for the Bears with 32. But the hosts lost wickets at regular intervals, as they were all out for 169, 227 runs short of their target. Gareth Batty, Mark Footitt and Stuart Meaker accounted for two dismissals each, while Zafar Ansari, Tom Curran and Sam Curran also took a wicket. The result rounded off a miserable day for Warwickshire, who have lost pace bowler Boyd Rankin for the rest of the season with a broken leg. Surrey climb to second in the table with three games left to play this season, 30 points behind leaders Middlesex, who have four games remaining. Warwickshire remain fifth, 39 points off the top of the table but well clear of the relegation zone. This article was about:

Article: Justin Mallon, 31, and Owen McLaughlin, 34, both from Livingston, appeared on petition at Livingston Sheriff Court. They were both accused of assault to injury, danger of life and attempted murder at a house in Camps Riggs, Livingston. They made no plea and were remanded in custody for further inquiries. Police had been called to the house at about 21:20 on Saturday following reports that a man had been seriously injured. The 36-year-old was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he remains in a critical but stable condition. ++++++++++ Summarize: Two men have appeared in court charged with attempted murder following an alleged attack at a house in West Lothian. Article: Corey Berry, 31, from the town of Hollis, was spotted walking down a road in a black hooded sweatshirt and a clown mask, holding the weapon. He had duct-taped the machete to his arm, which police say had been amputated. Worried residents began calling 911 at around 18:00 local time (22:00 GMT) on Tuesday. Local outlet wcsh6.com said Mr Berry ran off into the woods, where police struggled to apprehend him as further emergency calls came in. State Trooper Adam Schmidt said the clown was highly intoxicated, but cooperative. He told police he had been inspired by previous creepy clown sightings and was trying to play a prank. Mr Berry was arrested and charged with criminal threatening. He was taken to York County Jail, but was released after posting $200 (£150) bail. While sightings have died down this year, summer and autumn 2016 saw a wave of "killer clown" stunts that spread across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. The sinister craze began in South Carolina, with reports that men dressed as clowns were trying to coax children into the woods with money. It was followed by sightings in Alabama, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Schools in Texas and Alabama even shut down over the phenomenon. One theory had it that the upswing in creepy clown antics was linked to the release of novelist Stephen King's upcoming film, It. The plot involves a child-slaughtering being which takes the form of a clown called Pennywise to lure its prey. King criticised the craze last October, tweeting: "Hey, guys, time to cool the clown hysteria - most of em are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh." ++++++++++ Summarize: Police in the US state of Maine have arrested a drunk, one-armed clown who was brandishing a machete.

Text: Andrew Davies nodded against the crossbar as County threatened early in the match. Another header, by Michael Gardyne, was kept out superbly by Accies goalkeeper Remi Matthews and the save prompted the attack that gave Hamilton the lead. The hosts countered and Imrie clipped the ball past Scott Fox. With playmaker Ali Crawford sidelined after suffering a concussion in training on Friday, more pressure was on 33-year-old Dougie Imrie to provide the attacking spark. And he did that, squeezing in his first goal in the league this season and fourth overall from a few yards out. Danny Redmond's introduction almost led to more Accies goals as he played in Eamonn Brophy and Imrie again, but County goalkeeper Scott Fox was equal to their efforts. Hamilton's midfield has been boosted by former Celtic and Bari man Massimo Donati, but there was an equally effective performance by a less glamorous grafter in the shape of ex-Clydebank player Darian MacKinnon. The 30-year-old is approaching the 150-appearance mark for Accies since joining from the junior ranks in 2012 and excels against teams with Ross County's physicality. MacKinnon defied any notion that his sole purpose is breaking up the play, though. On several occasions the midfielder - flanked by impressive youngster Greg Docherty, Gramoz Kurtaj - was a crucial cog in starting or continuing counter attacks. Each of County's main strikers - Liam Boyce, Craig Curran and Alex Schalk - had scored already this term and manager Jim McIntyre said pre-match that he expected that to continue in South Lanarkshire if the supply was right. When Davies' header from Martin Woods' corner hit the crossbar after just two minutes, it looked like finding the back of the net would not be a problem. But the supply line to the strikers appeared to be blocked as County struggled to create chances from that point forward. Gardyne's header was well saved by Hamilton keeper Matthews in what was the Dingwall men's other clear-cut opportunity. Accies player-manager Martin Canning: "Today was justification for the players in that if you continue to put that work in and be brave, then you'll win games. "Greg Docherty and Darian MacKinnon in the middle of the park were excellent - they go through some amount of work. They covered every blade of astro-turf. Massimo Donati was excellent dropping in and helping the two centre-backs as well. "Every week Dougie Imrie works his socks off and it's nice to see guys like him getting the reward. Guys like him are priceless." Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "Our quality just wasn't as good as it normally is on the ball. We didn't handle the surface particularly well. "It was one of those days when you're scratching your head at times with some poor decision-making from us. "You always want to go into the international break off the back of a positive result and unfortunately we're going in with a defeat. But we'll use the break to re-group."

Article: Media playback is not supported on this device Sampson, 34, has been cleared of wrongdoing by two investigations and vehemently denies the claims. Earlier, Aluko's club Chelsea "commended" the 30-year-old for "speaking of her experiences". And anti-racism group Kick It Out wants a new independent review into the case. It says claims by Aluko on Monday "throw new light on the allegations". But the FA is sticking by its findings and supporting Sampson, BBC Sport understands. Speaking to the BBC, the Chelsea Ladies striker claimed Sampson made a "racist comment" about her family in Nigeria being infected with the Ebola virus. Sampson vehemently denies saying this. The FA said the allegation arose in informal correspondence and was not included in Aluko's subsequent complaint, or it would have been investigated. A Chelsea spokesman has said the club "finds any and all forms of discrimination abhorrent and it is imperative that players are supported when coming forward to speak about these issues". Players' union the Professional Footballers' Association says it has been supporting Aluko "from the first moment she made us aware of her experiences of playing for the England team". PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor added the organisation supported calls for a second independent probe. Aluko was also supported by former England team-mate Lianne Sanderson, who tweeted: "I am so proud of one of my best friends, Eni Aluko. I have stood with you through this and I will continue to do so." Former FA director of corporate affairs Simon Johnson tweeted: "Well done to Eni Aluko for speaking out. No-one should have to justify why they perceive a comment as racist. Sad it came to this, but brave." A three-month independent investigation by barrister Katharine Newton last year did not uphold any of Aluko's complaints, and cleared Sampson and the FA of any wrongdoing. Aluko, however, has claimed the investigation and a previous FA inquiry were "flawed". The FA denies this and says Aluko, who has played 102 times for England, declined to respond to the Newton investigation. She has not been picked by Sampson since making allegations against him as part of an FA cultural review into England management. The FA has insisted the timing was purely coincidental as the review was confidential and anonymous. But Aluko claims she suffered "victimisation as a result of me reporting discrimination". Anti-racism campaign group Kick It Out said the situation was now "one of utter confusion with claims and counter-claims". It added: "Kick It Out urges the FA to undertake a comprehensive and independent review of the processes involved in the original complaint made by Aluko up to the final point of the independent investigation by Katharine Newton QC. "This is so they can take on board any lessons learned, to remedy any deficiencies identified and to ensure it has an operational culture that treats any individual, whatever their background, equally, fairly and with dignity and respect. "The FA must ensure a situation like this will never happen again in order to build trust, confidence and credibility."

Article: The reform grants couples now limited to civil unions full marital rights, and allows them to adopt children. Mrs Merkel's political opponents were strongly in favour. But the chancellor, who signalled her backing for a free vote only on Monday, voted against. The bill was backed by 393 lawmakers, 226 voted against and four abstained. The German legal code will now read: "Marriage is entered into for life by two people of different or the same sex", AFP news agency reported. Following Friday's vote, Mrs Merkel said that for her marriage was between a man and a woman. But she said she hoped the passing of the bill would lead to more "social cohesion and peace". During her 2013 election campaign, Mrs Merkel argued against gay marriage on the grounds of "children's welfare," and admitted that she had a "hard time" with the issue. But in an on-stage interview with the women's magazine Brigitte on 26 June, she shocked the German media by saying, in response to an audience member's question, that she had noted other parties' support for gay marriage, and would allow a free vote at an unspecified time in the future. The usually-cautious chancellor said she had had a "life-changing experience" in her home constituency, where she met a lesbian couple who cared for eight foster children together. As the news spread on Twitter, supporters rallied under the hashtag #EheFuerAlle (MarriageForAll) - and started calling for a vote as soon as possible. 'Now my brother can marry his boyfriend' Mrs Merkel's current coalition partners - the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), who are trailing Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) in opinion polls - then seized the political initiative. They called for a vote by the time parliament went into summer recess at the end of the week - prompting Mrs Merkel to complain she'd been "ambushed". Yes - a recent survey by the government's anti-discrimination agency found that 83% of Germans were in favour of marriage equality. The day after the Republic of Ireland voted to legalise gay marriage in May 2015, almost every German newspaper splashed a rainbow across its front page. "It's time, Mrs Merkel" Green party leader Katrin Goering-Eckhart said then. "The Merkel faction cannot just sit out the debate on marriage for everyone." Angela Merkel voted against legalising same sex marriage. Nevertheless, she'll go down in history as the chancellor who made it possible. Friday marks a historic victory for the political left who've fought for years to bring the bill before parliament. The bill is one of the very last measures to come through parliament before the September general election. By voting against it, Mrs Merkel has appealed to the more conservative members of her electorate. But, by allowing it to happen, she's cemented her growing reputation as a defender of liberal values and, perhaps more importantly, seen off an issue which might have come to haunt her later on. If Mrs Merkel wins a majority in September, she's likely to seek coalition with parties who'd already indicated that same sex marriage legislation would have been a condition of partnership. Because of an upcoming general election. Germans go to the polls on 24 September, and continued opposition to a vote made Mrs Merkel risk looking anachronistic. Mrs Merkel's coalition partners, the SPD, had ruled out a future coalition deal unless reform was agreed on. The Greens, the far-left Linke, and the pro-business Free Democrats took the same view. The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now the only party to oppose same-sex marriage. But conservatives within Mrs Merkel's own CDU were against a change - as was the CDU's Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), whose votes Mrs Merkel needs in the September election. Commentators say this partly explains why she has rejected a vote on marriage equality until now - and why she was taken off-guard by the snap vote. A host of European countries have beaten Germany to a same-sex marriage law. Civil marriages are legally recognised in Norway, Sweden, Denmark (excluding the Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, France, the UK (except Northern Ireland and Jersey), and the Republic of Ireland. But in Austria and Italy - as in Germany before Friday's vote- gay couples are restricted to civil partnerships. ++++++++++ Summarize:
A clear majority of German MPs have voted to legalise same-sex marriage, days after Chancellor Angela Merkel dropped her opposition to a vote.

Summarize: It could be a crucial achievement for Hamilton, who needs to beat Rosberg in the race on Sunday to revive his faltering championship hopes. Hamilton, who was 0.216 seconds ahead, trails by 33 points with 100 available. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo beat team-mate Max Verstappen to third, ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. Sunday's race is live from 20:00 BST, with coverage online from 18:30 BST. Hamilton was in convincing form throughout qualifying, fastest on both runs in the top 10 shoot-out and in the first session, although Rosberg pipped him by 0.099secs in the second session. His attention will now be focused on the start, with which he has problems several times this season, because of the importance of leading into the first corner. With warm, sunny weather predicted in southern Texas for race day - and 95,000 people expected through the gates - overtaking during the race will be difficult for whichever Mercedes driver is behind on the first lap. "I feel amazing," Hamilton said. "It is my first pole here and many years of trying. "I want to say a big thank you to the crowd - I could hear everyone cheering as I crossed the line and the energy was incredible." Rosberg said: "Lewis was just quicker in sector one today. That's the way it is. He did a good job. "As we have seen this year, qualifying is not all-important so I still have a good chance in the race." The healthy crowd at the Circuit of the Americas, some of whom have been attracted by the chance to watch pop superstar Taylor Swift for free as part of the admission cost, were treated to an exciting session as the Mercedes duelled it out. The race has added intrigue because of Mercedes' decision to start on the soft tyre, on which they set their fastest times in Q2, while Red Bull have split their drivers - Ricciardo starts on the super-soft and Verstappen on the soft. The Red Bulls matched Mercedes for pace on their high-fuel race-simulation runs in Friday practice and could be a threat in the race. Mixing up the drivers' strategies may keep Mercedes guessing if Red Bull can show comparable pace on Sunday afternoon. Ricciardo said: "We expected it to go like this. Max wanted to try the soft and I was happy to go on the super-soft. I was more comfortable on that tyre in the long runs yesterday and hopefully it gives me a better launch off the line as well. "We expected Mercedes to be very hard to beat and we have a good buffer over Ferrari. I think we have a good chance for tomorrow." Ferrari were well out of it on one-lap pace, Raikkonen nearly 1.132secs slower than Hamilton and 0.227secs ahead of Vettel. Informed observers say Vettel, whose form has slipped compared to Raikkonen in recent races, is trying to force the car to do things it cannot in his attempt to use his preferred driving style, rather than adapting to the car's behaviour. "Kimi did a very good job today," said Vettel. "Both Q3 laps I wasn't happy. I probably pushed a bit too hard and we know that backfires on these tyres, but that is not an excuse, I should have done a better job. It is part of the reason why I am not entirely happy with today but the gap to the cars in front is what we don't like. Coming here and seeing we are not as competitive as we thought is not good news." Media playback is not supported on this device The top 10 was completed by Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg, the Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa and Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz as McLaren failed to make it through into the final session for the second consecutive race. It was an especially poor day for Jenson Button in what is probably his last US Grand Prix - he was eliminated in the first session after McLaren sent him out on the 'soft' tyre for his first run and then encountering traffic on this final run on the super-soft. Team-mate Fernando Alonso qualified 12th after being 0.414secs quicker than Button in the first session. Jolyon Palmer put in a strong performance for Renault, taking 15th place, three positions and nearly 0.4secs quicker than team-mate Kevin Magnussen.

Summarize this article in one sentence. Rugby's showpiece international tournament is bigger and more popular than ever - broadcast in 190 countries and streamed live in another 20. Only four of the 75 matches over the last five years have been played in stadiums less than 90% full, with the average capacity now around 98%. The Six Nations is also increasingly competitive and unpredictable, with at least four countries harbouring realistic ambitions of winning the title. Since Italy joined the party in 2000, the average points difference between teams in each game dropped from around 20 for the first four years to nearly 10 in 2013, before 50-point blow-outs by England - against Italy in Rome - and Wales - against 14-man Scotland - on the final day last year caused a spike in the general trend. This tournament has an extra layer of intrigue before the Rugby World Cup on English soil later this year, with Wales and England pitched together in one pool, and France, Ireland and Italy in another. So, who is going to win, and who are the key men to look out for? We have asked our four BBC Six Nations experts - ex-England centre Jeremy Guscott, former Wales fly-half Jonathan Davies, ex-Ireland hooker Keith Wood and former Scotland scrum-half Andy Nicol - for some pointers. How are England going to do? After two runners-up slots in the last two years, I believe England can go one better and win the Championship this season. England's set-piece is the best, and if they can add quick ball to that solid platform, tries will come. With George Ford at fly-half, England have more options than before - his kicking out of hand is accurate and his distribution is first class. Who is going to win the title? If it is not England, then Ireland have the confidence of a very successful autumn series plus a coach - Joe Schmidt - who has been inspirational in his tactical assessments of the opposition. Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton have become the best half-back pairing in Europe and put into action Schmidt's intel. Who will end up with the Wooden Spoon? Italy, because they are blooding quite a few youngsters in the Six Nations, and they do not have a consistent enough goal-kicker to capitalise on the good work of their forwards. Who will be the star of the Six Nations? England winger Jonny May has the speed and elusiveness to make defenders struggle - he scores cracking tries. What is your favourite Six Nations memory? Media playback is not supported on this device One of my favourites would be Rory Underwood's try against Scotland at Twickenham in 1993. Stuart Barnes broke from our 22m line and passed to me on our 10m line. The pass was perfect, right in front of me, and I didn't break stride. My speed was good and I managed to get on an arc on the outside of Scott Hastings. Just as Gavin Hastings came in to tackle me, I got the pass out to Rory, who sailed over to score. How are Wales going to do? If Wales win their first game against England on Friday, then they will be contenders because they have got a bit of confidence and form after beating South Africa in November. They've got a settled squad and a settled game-plan, although hopefully we'll see a bit more creativity from the backline and they won't be so direct. Who is going to win the title? I think it's difficult to predict this year's winner. If Wales win their first game they have a good chance, but if it's not Wales then Ireland would be my tip, as it helps to have both England and France at home, as the Irish do. If England win that opening game they've got a chance too, while the French would be my dark horses in World Cup year - it's certainly going to be very competitive, with Scotland having improved too. Who will end up with the Wooden Spoon? Unfortunately Italy, because sadly they haven't improved as much as they need to. Their Pro12 sides aren't doing well and half-back is still a problem for them. Who will be the star of the Six Nations ? I like Alex Dunbar. Scotland have missed a direct, creative footballer in the centres and a combination of him and winger Tommy Seymour should score tries. Teddy Thomas could set things alight for France on the wing and it will be interesting to see how George Ford goes for England. What is your favourite Six Nations memory? Nothing beats the first time, and 30 years ago I made my debut against England - running out on to the field is such a great memory, the noise was incredible. In a slightly different vein, a couple of years before that I remember leaving Trimsaran Rugby Club in the back of a transit van at 11pm on the Thursday with my mates and arriving at 6am on the Friday to watch Scotland v Wales in Edinburgh with no hotel booked... How are Ireland going to do? Ireland are the holders and are title contenders again this year - my only fears are complacency and our ever-increasing injury list. Who is going to win the title? Ireland. The nearest challenger will be Wales, because they have a settled side, very few injuries and an attractive draw. Who will end up with the Wooden Spoon? Italy, as Scotland are likely to make a renewed charge under coach Vern Cotter. It will be his first Six Nations in charge but he has been doing good things with them. Who will be the star of the Six Nations? Ireland fly-half Johnny Sexton. He is not available for the start of the tournament because of concussion but he has become a very strong leader in the Irish set-up and is very assertive on the international stage. What is your favourite Six Nations memory? Media playback is not supported on this device Two years ago Italy decided it was finally time to present nearly 400 former players with their international caps - fetching azure blue ones with gold braid and all the trimmings. The former players then lined up facing their team for the national anthems for the match against France - 400 stern-faced men, with tears streaming down their faces, it was quite an occasion. And Italy then won - awesome! How are Scotland going to do? Quite well I think; there is genuine hope after a promising autumn Test series. The confidence in the squad is good with Glasgow having another good season and Edinburgh improving considerably over the last few weeks. Coach Vern Cotter has definitely made his mark on the team; there seems real clarity in how they want to play the game and Scotland now have a back-line that can score tries. Who is going to win the title? Ireland had a very good autumn, beating South Africa and Australia, and the fixtures are good for them. They start in Rome and have England and France in Dublin with a couple of tricky trips to Cardiff and Edinburgh. I think they might sneak it but with no Grand Slam. Who will end up with the Wooden Spoon? Italy. If only they could find another 14 Sergio Parisses (the Italy captain and number eight), they would not be going for the Wooden Spoon but for the Championship instead! Even though they have three games in Rome, I do not see them winning a game. Who will be the star of the Six Nations? There are a number of players I am looking forward to seeing - Wesley Fofana of France, Jonathan Joseph of England, George North of Wales and Jonny Gray of Scotland. All four players will have a huge influence on their country's performances but I will pick Wales winger North, because he is on fire at the moment and could light up the Six Nations. What is your favourite Six Nations memory? My favourite is quite a personal one - lifting the Calcutta Cup as Scotland captain in 2000. England were going for the Grand Slam, no-one gave us a sniff of a chance of winning, the weather was horrible but it turned out to be a great day for Scotland. I am the first Scotsman ever to be presented with the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield because previously the cup was presented at the dinner in the evening, so that makes the moment even more special.

Forget the wind, rain and snow; give thanks for the Six Nations - the sporting event that lights up the European winter.

Write an article based on this summary: Prominent Chinese dissident and human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng has broken his silence to describe how he was allegedly tortured and kept in solitary confinement while in detention. +++++++ A: The 51-year-old lawyer was released from prison in August 2014. At the time, his lawyer described Mr Gao, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, as emotionless, "basically unintelligible" and missing teeth due to malnutrition. Mr Gao was speaking to AP, in his first interview in five years. He said he was tortured with an electric baton to his face and spent three years in solitary confinement. Mr Gao is known for defending members of the Falun Gong movement and Chinese Christians. "Every time we emerge from the prison alive, it is a defeat for our opponents," he told the Associated Press from his home in Shaanxi province. Unfortunately, the Chinese government's crackdown on Chinese defence lawyers did not end with the Gao Zhisheng's release from prison. If anything, Mr Gao's persecution represents the start of a wide-ranging campaign. According to Amnesty International, 245 Chinese lawyers have been targeted by police since early July. Thirty are still missing or remain in police custody. That number does not include other leading lawyers, like Pu Zhiqiang, who was arrested in May 2014 and has yet to face trial. Many of the detained lawyers endured weeks of interrogation. Their families have been harassed, their homes and offices raided. Some have experienced violent beatings. Mr Gao, whose wife and children live in the US, also said he would never seek exile abroad. He described staying in China as a "mission" given to him from God. Mr Gao was convicted of subversion and placed under house arrest in 2006, during which time he claims to have been regularly detained and tortured. He disappeared in January 2009 before reappearing in March 2010. He disappeared again soon after and was revealed to be in a Xinjiang prison in January 2012 after state media said he was being jailed for three years for probation abuse. Mr Gao said that propaganda was broadcast via a loudspeaker in his prison cell for 68 continuous weeks. The Chinese government is yet to respond to the interview and has not responded to other allegations of torture previously made by Mr Gao. Mr Gao's wife, Geng He, has said that she hopes her husband's case will be raised during talks this week between US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. 2005: Authorities close down Gao Zhisheng's law practice Dec 2006: Convicted of subversion and sentenced to house arrest Sept 2007: Says he was tortured during a period of detention Jan 2009: Disappears; last seen accompanied by security officials Mar 2010: Reappears for a month before disappearing again Dec 2011: State media says he has been jailed for three years Jan 2012: Gao revealed to be in Xinjiang prison Aug 2014: Gao freed from jail Write an article based on this summary: UK rock band Radiohead have condemned an attack on people listening to their new album at a record store in the Turkish city of Istanbul. +++++++ A: Some 20 suspected Islamists beat up customers and staff for drinking alcohol and listening to music during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Unconfirmed reports said one person was injured in the incident late on Friday. A protest on Saturday against the attack was dispersed by police using water cannon and tear gas. Radiohead described the assault on the Velvet Indieground store as an act of "violent intolerance". Local media reports said the male attackers used sticks and bottles against those present. The store in the central Beyoglu district was livestreaming Radiohead's new album A Moon Shaped Pool. A Radiohead statement said: "Our hearts go out to those attacked at Velvet IndieGround in Istanbul. "We hope that someday we will be able to look back on such acts of violent intolerance as things of the ancient past. "For now, we can only offer our fans in Istanbul our love and support." Write an article based on this summary: BBC News School Report gives 11-16 year-old students in the UK the chance to make their own news reports for a real audience. +++++++ A: Using lesson plans and materials from this website, and with support from BBC staff and partners, teachers help students develop their journalistic skills to become School Reporters. In March, schools take part in an annual News Day, simultaneously creating video, audio and text-based news reports, and publishing them on a school website, to which the BBC aims to link. Last year more than 1,000 schools across the UK took part on School Report, on the biggest ever School Report News Day. Take a look at what students produced on the day! School report's 10th News Day will be held on 10 March 2016. There are five steps for teachers to take, and the sooner you complete them, the sooner we can work with you: BBC News presenter and former teacher Huw Edwards is working on School Report. He said: "Over the years I've run many journalism workshops in schools. So I've seen how much fun it can be and how much can be learnt when there are real deadlines, real audiences and real standards to meet. "I'm involved because I want to give young people the chance to make the news themselves, and I want to share the principles of good journalism. So have a go, let me know what you think, and good luck!" As well as the main News Day in March, there are also opportunities to join in a Practice News Day - a chance to rehearse what you will do on the big day itself. You can hold your own Practice News Day on a date of your choosing, but one advantage of taking part on a central date is that your school will be featured on the School Report website. The safety and well-being of young people taking part in the project is very important to everyone involved in School Report. All mentors and other people working with School Report sign a personal disclosure form and undertake training in accordance with the BBC's guidelines on child protection. We also have protection measures in place to prevent identification of children, including not using surnames and requiring parental consent for all children taking part. The project aims to give young people from across the UK the chance to make their own news to real deadlines and broadcast it to real audiences. School Report helps to fulfil one of the BBC Charter's pledges to "sustain citizenship and civil society": To find our more about the project, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page. Write an article based on this summary: Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh face a run of fixtures over the coming weeks which will define their seasons. +++++++ A:
Warriors, the defending Pro12 champions, have found momentum hard to come by this term, currently sitting eighth in the league. They also face an uphill battle to make the Champions Cup quarter-finals. Edinburgh are faring rather better, occupying third place in the Pro12 and still in the hunt for the knockout stages of the European Challenge Cup. Scotland's record cap holder and points-scorer Chris Paterson examines how both Scottish clubs have performed this season and looks ahead to what the rest of the season holds for both Glasgow and Edinburgh. After several seasons of steady and sustained progress, Glasgow made the breakthrough last year by clinching the Pro12 title in unforgettable style against Munster. Following that triumph with more of the same was always going to be a tough ask, especially with Warriors being forced to make do without the 20 players who represented their countries at the Rugby World Cup. Gregor Townsend's men could still go on a run to put them right in the mix come the business end of the season, but they have displayed their undoubted class only sporadically so far in this campaign. Back-to-back 1872 Cup losses to Edinburgh and defeat away to Racing 92 in the Champions Cup means Warriors are on a three-game losing streak, and are in danger of seeing their two main targets - defending the Pro12 title and progressing to the knockout stages in Europe - slip away. Paterson, though, thinks the quality within Glasgow's squad means they could yet find find their best form to go on a winning streak, starting with their make-or-break European clash with Northampton on Sunday. "It's a crucial part of the season," Paterson told BBC Scotland. "The two games against Edinburgh were both very similar. Edinburgh deserved to win both, their defence was outstanding. Two good, high quality games. As a Scotsman it was good to see that combative style of both teams. "After those three defeats for Glasgow they are rewarded with a trip to Franklins Gardens and Northampton who beat them pretty soundly at Scotstoun. I know that hurt a lot of the guys at Glasgow, the players and the staff. "But they have put a lot right since that happened, especially up front, in the scrum. Northampton's domestic form hasn't been great but they are a quality team. "It's a big, big ask for Glasgow but it's this time of year that the pressure comes on and you have to deliver. They've got a quality coaching staff, a quality group of players. We've seen that, we've seen them win silverware and they'll need all their experience in the next two or three weeks." After being cast as a mere sideshow in the shadows of Glasgow's success in recent years, Edinburgh now find themselves in a good place. They are just four points behind Pro12 leaders Scarlets in the league table, and victory over Agen on Friday night at Murrayfield will keep them in contention to reach the knockout stage of the Challenge Cup, a competition they reached the final of last season. "I think quite rightly they have to target the top end of the table," Paterson said. "With a defence like that they are hard to beat. They're in the top four at the moment, and similarly to Glasgow it's a crucial period of the season. They'll want to go into the Six Nations still in that top four. "They'll want to finish off the two games in Europe with victories. Keeping that momentum going that Edinburgh have found will be really important and it should set them up for a big season finale." Edinburgh's style of play has been a source of great debate, with many believing the tactics employed by coach Alan Solomons do not encourage expansive, attacking rugby. "They're doing what suits them, they're winning," says Paterson, who played for Edinburgh between 1999 and 2007 and again from 2008 to 2012. "It's not great to watch at times but it's effective. Purists look at style but the professional game is ultimately about results. "Edinburgh have a fantastic defence, a great set piece and that's their strengths. They are continually adding to their attack. Duncan Hodge is in there and you can see the influence he is trying to bring with the shape and they are trying to play, but it takes a lot of work. "Edinburgh did so well in the European Challenge Cup last year, they're in a good position this year as well. This weekend's game against Agen is crucial. If they can win at home then it sets up a big final fixture against Grenoble."

Summarize this article in one sentence. Launched in September 1977, the probe was sent initially to study the outer planets, but then just kept on going. Researchers studying its data say the craft appears now to be in a realm of space beyond the influence of our Sun. But the US space agency (Nasa), which manages Voyager, says that it regards the probe as still being inside the Solar System. The mission is currently moving more than 18 billion km from Earth, or 123 times the distance between our planet and the Sun. By David ShukmanScience editor, BBC News No human artefact has ever reached so deep into the cosmos. A measure of the distance travelled is that it takes a staggering 16 hours for Voyager 1's radio messages to arrive on Earth. Standing in Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California two years ago, I watched as data from the lonely craft flickered across giant screens. The scientist behind the mission, Ed Stone, talked in adoring terms of the 70s technology that has survived decades of hurtling through space to become mankind's most distant emissary. Nasa has speculated for years about the actual moment of crossing from our Solar System into the void; and now this may finally have happened. The next time the craft will come even remotely close to another star? About 40,000 years. The latest research is published online in the journal Geophysical Research Letters (GRL). It concerns data the spacecraft has been gathering about changes in its environment which for some time now have suggested it is about to cross over the Solar System's border - the so-called heliopause. It has been detecting a rise in the number of high-energy particles, or cosmic rays, coming towards it from interstellar space, while at the same time recording a decline in the intensity of energetic particles coming from behind, from our Sun. A big change occurred on 25 August last year, which the GRL paper's authors say was like a "heliocliff". "Within just a few days, the heliospheric intensity of trapped radiation decreased, and the cosmic ray intensity went up as you would expect if it exited the heliosphere," explained Prof Bill Webber from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Nasa funded the study but said any assessment that Voyager might be in interstellar space did not reflect the view of everyone working on the project, and Prof Weber acknowledges there is an ongoing debate about the probe's status. Many researchers would like a long period with the data all pointing in one direction before calling the exit definitive. "It's outside the normal heliosphere, I would say that," Prof Webber said in a release from the American Geophysical Union, publishers of GRL. "We're in a new region. And everything we're measuring is different and exciting." The Voyager project scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Ed Stone, said he wanted to see a reorientation of the magnetic fields around the probe before declaring it to be in interstellar space. This was a "critical marker", he added. "…that change of direction has not yet been observed." Voyager-1 was launched on 5 September 1977, and its sister spacecraft, Voyager-2, on 20 August 1977. The probes' initial goal was to survey the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - a task they completed in 1989. They were then despatched towards deep space, in the general direction of the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy. Their plutonium power sources will stop generating electricity in about 10-15 years, at which point their instruments and transmitters will die. Voyager-1 is on course to approach a star called AC +793888, but it will only get to within two light-years of it and it will be tens of thousands of years before it does so. This page was updated following clarifications issued by both the AGU, the GRL publishers, and Nasa. Summary:
The possibility that the Voyager-1 spacecraft may have left the Solar System is being hotly debated.

Problem: There are heated and varied opinions. Some argue forcefully that they have a heavy workload on weekdays so extending a full service to weekends is impossible. But there are others, in groups of practices which already provide weekend opening, who wonder what all the fuss is about. The Conservative pledge to provide access to GP services seven days a week for all patients in England by 2020 was made at last year's party conference. It was repeated, along with the commitment to more extensive weekend hospital care, in the party's manifesto. As if to underline the importance of the issue, David Cameron in his first major speech since forming a majority government in May again spelled out his vision: "a modern NHS working for you seven days of the week - when you need it, where you need it". So what are the practicalities of the rhetoric? Its worth noting there is already seven-day primary care in place through GP out-of-hours services. Some doctors who work at surgeries during the week also agree to join duty rosters run by out-of-hours contractors and they resent the suggestion that they refuse to work at weekends. The 111 phone service is available 24/7, and is intended to direct people to the most appropriate care outside surgery hours. The weakness of the existing system, though, was highlighted by none other than the head of NHS England, Simon Stevens. In a speech this week he talked of an incomprehensible "alphabet soup" of overnight and weekend services. He said patients were left confused as to whether to call 111 or out-of-hours GPs or go to their local A&E unit. Increasing numbers of GP practices are linking up locally to provide weekend appointments for patients who want them. This will probably not be at their local surgery but at one which is at least in their town or community. Mr Cameron said in his speech that by the end of this financial year, 18m patients in England would have access to a GP seven days a week. These existing seven-day GP access schemes tend to be in larger urban communities with a varied population and with practices clustered more closely together. Doctors in rural areas have complained that there is no demand for weekend appointments and that local patients, often with more elderly in their number, are well served by 12 hour opening from Monday to Friday. The doctor's magazine Pulse reported in May that a weekend surgery opening pilot scheme in Kent had been scrapped because it was not taking the pressure off local A&E services. The GP profession has faced recruitment problems and some doctors quitting because of what they argue is an unacceptable workload. The Royal College of GPs has told the BBC that seven day a week, 12 hours a day routine general practice is "unachievable" in this parliament. Serving patients over current opening hours was barely achievable with existing staff numbers according to the RCGP, never mind over weekends. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says the government is committed to funding 5,000 more GPs by 2020, what he calls the biggest single increase in GP recruitment in the history of the NHS. He told me that ministers were "absolutely focussed" on delivering seven-day services. People should not have to take time off work, he argued, and potentially lose wages to see their GP during working hours. The British Medical Association has, though, questioned whether enough new doctors can be found given the current recruitment problems and where the money will come from to pay the extra salaries. This government will be judged on their pledges at the time of the next election in 2020. Ministers believe seven-day services in general practice will be steadily rolled out across England and GP numbers will rise to meet patient demand. But some in the medical world believe primary care is creaking at the seams and may fracture because of the workload. They can't both be right. What was that article about? A: Talk to a GP and it wont take long for the issue of seven-day services to come up. Problem: He said it was a "bizarre and cruel thing" for the princes to do and the funeral procession was "the most horrifying half an hour of my life". He told Radio 4's Today: "I was lied to and told that they wanted to do it, which of course they didn't." He spoke as the 20th anniversary of her death approaches on 31 August. "It was the worst part of the day by a considerable margin, walking behind my sister's body with two boys who were obviously massively grieving their mother. "It was a sort of bizarre circumstance where we were told you just have to look straight ahead. "But the feeling, the sort of absolute crashing tidal wave of grief coming at you as you went down this sort of tunnel of deep emotion, it was really harrowing actually and I still have nightmares about it now." The earl also said there have been four attempted break-ins at the family home where Princess Diana is buried. He said he had been a "passionate advocate" for William and Harry not to have to walk behind their mother's body and Princess Diana would not have wanted it. "Then eventually I was lied to and told that they wanted to do it, which of course they didn't, but I didn't realise that." Prince Harry, who was 12 when his mother died, has previously spoken about walking in the funeral procession, saying no child "should be asked to do that". Describing the procession, the earl said he could hear people sobbing, wailing and shouting messages of love to Diana and the princes which was a "very tricky time". "But it was impossible not to connect with the emotion coming from the crowd. It was so powerful. Pulsing through us, I think. "And it was so bizarre, there was a sort of crunching of our procession, the horses and the carriage and our footsteps, and then the incredible crashing emotion coming in from every side. It was really horrifying." The earl revealed he wrote the eulogy to his sister in his study, a place loved by Princess Diana, and the speech was about speaking for "my sister who was no longer there". His promise at the funeral in 1997 that William and Harry would be protected by "blood family" was seen as an attack on the Royal Family. The earl said he believes Princess Diana would have been proud of his speech, which he re-read to her body a couple days before she was buried. "I know people will think that I am some sort of fruitcake, but I do remember hearing almost some sort of approval then and then I realised then I probably had got some of the thoughts in order. " Reflecting on the eulogy, he said: "I don't feel I said many pointed things. I believe that every word I said was true and it was important for me to be honest. "I wasn't looking to make any jabs at anyone actually, I was trying to celebrate Diana and if by doing that it showed up particularly the press I think in a bad way, well, they had that coming." The earl's eulogy also touched on Princess Diana's eating disorders and also attacked the paparazzi's impact on her life. "In her final years Diana was really brought low by elements of the paparazzi and the tabloids," he said. "I remember she told me about one man that promised to hound her until the day she died, then would urinate on her grave. "So, she was dealing with a very dark side of the media and, even at her funeral, I think it was appropriate to touch on that." The earl said he has re-read his speech for the first time in 20 years and believes it was "very balanced". When asked whether the Queen, who is his godmother, said anything to him about the eulogy, he said a friend had told him she said he had a right to say whatever he felt. "I am not some rabid republican, but the speech was about Diana, it wasn't really about anyone else," he said. Princess Diana was buried in the grounds of Althorp estate, her childhood home in Northamptonshire, after the earl changed plans for her to be laid to rest in the family tombs at a local church. He said it seemed "natural" to bury her at their family home as he "wanted to keep her safe". The earl added: "There was such a whipped up feeling of emotion everywhere that I was very worried about where we could safely bury her. What was that article about? A:
Princess Diana's brother Earl Spencer says he was lied to about Prince William and Prince Harry wanting to walk behind their mother's coffin.

The health minister was speaking ahead of a political summit to be held in February on health and social care. "We need to take politics out of it as best as we possibly can," he told Radio Ulster's Sunday News. "I think it is incredibly important that the political parties sit down and agree in so far as they can. "If we are to get this right and if we are to deliver the world class health social care system Liam Donaldson says we can have, then we need to get political agreement." Last week, more than 50 health and social care organisations called on Stormont politicians to take urgent action to transform the health care system. Mr Hamilton has set up a panel of health experts to redesign local health care services, in line with a recommendation from the Donaldson report last year. The panel is chaired by Prof Rafael Bengoa who is director of the health department at the Deusto Business School in Spain. Mr Hamilton said the importance of political consensus was critical. "What I think has been the biggest barrier to the level and degree of change that we have needed in social health care system... has not been a lack of willingness on the part of clinicians and those within the system," he said. "People understand that change in Northern Ireland needs to happen. "We need to get political consensus around these very difficult issues or else they are not going to go anywhere." The health panel is expected to deliver its report by the summer. You can hear more about this story on Radio Ulster's Sunday News at 13:00 GMT. What is a summary of this text?
The key to making Northern Ireland's health system world class lies with securing an agreement between politicians, Simon Hamilton has said.

Article:The returns generated by document fraud, money laundering and online trade in illegal goods helps to pay for other damaging crimes, said Europol. The wider use of technology by criminal gangs poses the "greatest challenge" to police forces, it said in a study. It revealed that Europol is currently tracking 5,000 separate international organised crime groups. The "comprehensive" study of organised crime in Europe found a wide range of crime groups ranging from loose networks of individual criminals up to large trans-national bodies that generate profits which rival those of legitimate multi-national corporations. Common among all groups was their affection for technology, said the report. The ease with which cybercrime campaigns can be set up and run as well as the proliferation of online crime services had driven this adoption. Many groups now use cybercrime campaigns, including ransomware, to generate cash that is then used to bankroll people and drug trafficking operations. "These cross-cutting criminal threats enable and facilitate most, if not all, other types of serious and organised crime," said the report. In addition, said Europol, many gangs were turning to technology to help make well-established crimes more lucrative. For instance, said the report, drones were now being used to transport drugs and many burglars now track social media posts to work out when people are away from their home . The steady increase in the number of reported burglaries across Europe was a "particular concern" for many nations, it said. Summarize the main points of that article.
Technology is now at the "root" of all serious criminality, says Europe's police agency.

Summarize: Daniel O'Reilly is more commonly known as Dapper Laughs. He's released a novelty Christmas album on Spotify called Proper Naughty Christmas. He claims some of the proceeds will be going to help the homeless. But Shelter says it doesn't want a penny from the self-proclaimed ''proper lad''. Shelter's CEO Campbell Robb told Newsbeat: "The fact that 90,000 children will wake up homeless this Christmas is no joke. "Dapper Laughs's brand of 'comedy' - which is deeply offensive about homeless people, not to mention many others - is something we felt it was important to take a stand against. "The support from the public has been overwhelming and we've seen a fantastic rise in donations as a result, meaning Shelter can help even more people this Christmas." It all kicked off when the website UsVsTh3m tweeted a link to a not-so positive review of the 14 track record. The album includes songs called A Walk To The Pub...With A Tramp, Cracking On To A Sweetheart and Leaving The Pub...With A Tramp. It's available on Spotify and according to the comedian will raise funds for homeless charities. But Shelter then said it would not be accepting any money from Dapper Laughs. The comedian rose to fame on the back of his Vine video account where he claims to give "lad advice on romancing the ladies and being a geeza". The star of ITV2's Dapper Laughs: On The Pull has 144 million Vine viewings, 1.7 million followers on Facebook and another 362,000 on Twitter, but his comedy isn't for everyone. His clips, peppered with the catchphrases "she knows" and "proper moist", have been called sexist by viewers, and fellow comedians. Earlier this week Cardiff University students successfully petitioned for the cancellation of his show at their student union. The union said Dapper Laughs was banned after students complained that he "trivialised rape, unprotected sex and dehumanising of women." Petition organiser and student Vicky Chandler said she was really pleased the union had placed students' wishes above profits. "It's been a hard campaign and we've received a lot of abuse from a minority of people but we are really happy we've been listened to," she said. "Hopefully in the long run people will see that they can stand up about things they believe in and their voice will be heard. "It's been so great to see so many people standing up and supporting us. "It's started a talk about feminism and sexism on campus that I hope will continue." Newsbeat contacted Dapper Laughs's management team but they refused to comment. But an ITV spokesman said: "Dapper Laughs: On The Pull features an established internet comedy character created by Daniel O'Reilly. "ITV2 commissioned a show in which this character is placed within a recognisable TV format, a dating advice show. "Comedy is subjective and we realise the content of the show might not be to everyone's taste. "We regret that any of our viewers were offended. However, as with all of our shows, the series content was carefully considered, complied and deemed suitable for broadcast." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Summary:

Question: Article:Media playback is not supported on this device Wales fought back from 13-0 down to draw 16-16 in Dublin last Sunday, but no side has ever won the Six Nations after drawing their opening match. "We know there's another 30, 40, 50% in our attacking game from last week," Roberts, 29, told BBC Wales Sport. "We know it is a must-win game. There's a lot of pressure on the whole team." Under head coach Warren Gatland, Wales are yet to lose to Saturday's opponents Scotland, who have not won in Cardiff since 2002. Roberts knows victory at the Principality Stadium is critical to keeping Wales' championship hopes alive. "That pressure usually brings out the best in us and hopefully that will stand us in good stead," he said. "We [won the title] in 2013 having lost the opening game. "Obviously last year we lost our opening game to England and this year we've drawn our opening game out in Ireland. "Everyone's watched the video back. Some of the opportunities we created and didn't finish were quite disappointing from the Ireland game. "This is a team who are looking to improve on last week." Roberts will again partner Jonathan Davies in Wales' midfield after they were denied the chance to appear together at the 2015 World Cup by Davies' knee injury. The Clermont Auvergne centre and Roberts were reunited in Dublin, and against Scotland Davies wins his 50th Wales cap. "To make 50 is really humbling, and hopefully we can get the result and have a good celebration afterwards. I am chuffed to bits," said Davies. Davies' Wales debut came on tour in Canada in 2009 while Roberts was earning the British and Irish Lions player of the series award that summer in front of packed South African stands. "I remember going to the ground in Canada and we were playing on a university pitch in Toronto," he said. "[Wales wing] Tom James was at the back of the bus, and when we turned up at the ground there weren't even any stands there - I think they were putting them up on the Friday afternoon - and Tom said 'can you imagine winning your first cap there?' But thankfully, I've gone on to get a few more." Davies says his partnership with Roberts was not greeted with universal approval at first. "People were dismissive of the partnership, but we've gone away and worked hard and done a few good things over the years," he said. "Hopefully, there is more in us. "I wouldn't say we are like a married couple, but on match-day we know what each other is doing and just let the others carry on." Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: Centre Jamie Roberts says there is a lot of pressure on Wales when they host Scotland on Saturday, having drawn their Six Nations opener in Ireland. Question: Article:Three of Savimbi's children accused Activision Blizzard of defamation by representing him as a "barbarian". Magistrates said the lawsuit contained procedural flaws and that they had no jurisdiction in the case. Savimbi founded the Unita movement, waging a civil war with Angolan forces. More about this and other African news stories Angola became a Cold War battleground, with Unita backed by the US and the apartheid government in South Africa, while Angola's ruling MPLA party was supported by the Soviet Union and Cuba. The rebel leader was eventually killed in clashes with state forces in 2002. The family was seeking €1m ($1.1m; £0.75m) in damages. "We are disappointed," Savimbi's son Cheya was quoted by AFP news agency as saying. In the last years of the Angolan war, Jonas Savimbi became a symbol to the outside world for everything that was wrong in Angola. Although it's difficult to separate the truth from the propaganda and the "Heart of Darkness" stereotypes that stick to many African conflicts, Savimbi's reputation is based on some confirmed incidents. Suspected witches were burnt alive at Savimbi's headquarters in the early 1980s. Fred Bridgland, Savimbi's previously admiring biographer, later wrote a horrifying tale of the murder of the Chingunji family who had fallen from grace with Savimbi. Yet the Angolan civil war lasted for 27 years and both sides committed acts of brutality. It would be wrong to pin everything on one man, who is still remembered with awe by many who lived under the rule of Unita, and admired by a generation that has grown up since the war. Justin Pearce is a former BBC Angola correspondent, now at the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge More about Angola Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 shows him rallying his troops with phrases like "death to the MPLA". His family had said they were outraged at the depiction. "Seeing him kill people, cutting someone's arm off... that isn't Dad," Cheya Savimbi said. The three children live in the Paris region and took the French branch of Activision to court in Nanterre, near the French capital. A lawyer for Activision Blizzard, Etienne Kowalski, argued that the case was about freedom of expression. "He was a warlord, there is no possible contestation," the lawyer said, according to AFP. The latest Call of Duty was the world's top selling game last year, and the game has often featured versions of real-life figures. In 2014, a bid by former Panama dictator Manuel Noriega to claim damages over his depiction in the game was dismissed by a US court. Obituary: Jonas Savimbi, Unita's local boy Summarize the main points of that article. Answer: A French court has rejected a case in which the family of late Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi sued the makers of Call of Duty over his depiction in the best-selling video game. Question: Article:More than 20m tablets of the banned drug Mandrax, with an estimated street value of $450m (£365m), were seized in the western city of Udaipur in October. Subhas Dudhani, a Bollywood producer, was arrested in Mumbai in connection with the find, an official told reporters. It is believed the drugs were bound for South Africa and Mozambique. Najib Shah, head of the central board of excise and customs, revealed the arrest on Wednesday in New Delhi. "The total consignment was about 23.5 metric tons with an international value of 3,000 crore (rupees) [1 crore equals 10 million]," Mr Shah said. The pills - discovered hidden in a secret room - are the largest synthetic drugs haul Indian officials have ever intercepted, according to Mr Shah. But they are still trying to track down other people involved in the operation. A customs officer told AFP on condition of anonymity: "We are on the lookout for several people involved in the drug syndicate." The recreational drug, commonly known as M-Pills, buttons or smarties, is popular on the rave scene in parts of Africa and Asia. But overdosing on Methaqualone, the chemical name of Mandrax, can be fatal or leave the user in a coma. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Officials say they have discovered one of India's largest-ever drug hauls concealed in a fizzy drinks factory.

Problem: Defending champion Murray plays Italy's Fabio Fognini in the third match on Centre Court at about 17:00 BST. British number one Konta is now rated as the favourite with some bookmakers, and she faces Maria Sakkari of Greece on Court One at about 15:00. Heather Watson and Aljaz Bedene bolster the British challenge on day five. Rafael Nadal, Simona Halep and Venus Williams are among the other leading names on the schedule, with another warm, dry day forecast. Watson takes on two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka, recently back on the tour after the birth of her son Leo, in the opening match on Centre Court at about 13:00. Bedene must counter the serve-and-volley skills of Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in the first match on court two at about 11:30. It is the first time since Tim Henman, Mark Petchey, Greg Rusedski, Andrew Richardson and Karen Cross made the third round in 1997 that at least four Britons have reached that stage. Two of Murray's more chastening defeats of recent years have come at the hands of Fognini, but this time the Scot has the surface and home advantage on his side. The pair, both 30, first played each other when they were 12 and share a 3-3 record as professionals. Fognini played superbly to beat Murray in the Davis Cup three years ago and at the Italian Open two months ago, but those contests were on the clay of Naples and Rome. "If I play like that, could be interesting," said Fognini. The Italian has never been past the third round at Wimbledon and will make his Centre Court debut on Friday. "Of course, he's the favourite," Fognini added. "I know my game. I know how to play against him. We know each other really well. I'm ready." Murray said: "He's always dangerous. He's a shot-maker and he's very solid off his forehand and backhand side, but he can also hit winners from both sides. "He has good hands up at the net. He moves extremely well on the other surfaces. I don't know how well he moves on the grass." After a gripping three-hour win over Donna Vekic in the previous round, sixth seed Konta will hope for a quicker passage into the second week against Sakkari. The 21-year-old from Greece is ranked 101st and has made it through to the third round of a Grand Slam for only the second time. Konta, 26, thrilled the crowd in her first ever Centre Court win on Wednesday and gave further evidence that she could be a title contender. "I guess I keep sounding like a broken record, but for me, pressure is a very self-imposed thing," said the Briton. "I'm approaching this event like I am every other event. I'm coming here to do the best that I can, to compete the best I can." Watson is enjoying a real return to form after slipping outside the world's top 100 this year. The 25-year-old reached the semi-finals in Eastbourne last week, and thrashed 18th seed Anastasija Sevastova in round two. She is now one win away from reaching the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time. "It's been one of my goals forever," said Watson. "I made those big goals years ago. Making the second week of a Slam would be huge for me." Bedene, 27, is another player on the verge of breaking new ground by earning a fourth-round place at a Grand Slam tournament. The world number 58 lost to Muller at a grass-court tournament in the Netherlands last month, but it was three tight sets. "He loves grass," said Bedene. "He's won Hertogenbosch. He played semis at Queen's. He loves serve-and-volley play. He's quite aggressive. "I played him a few weeks ago so I know, I wouldn't say his weaknesses, because there aren't many, but if I play my game, I've got a chance." What was that article about? A: Andy Murray and Johanna Konta will hope to further their title ambitions as four Britons take part in Wimbledon third-round action on Friday. Problem: The Spaniard, 28, began seven points behind Italian Valentino Rossi, who had to start at the back of the grid as a penalty for clashing with Spain's Marc Marquez in the previous race. Seven-time MotoGP champion Rossi, 36, would have won his first title since 2009 with a second-place finish. But he was fourth as Lorenzo led from pole to win his seventh race of 2015. Britain's Cal Crutchlow began at the very back of the grid after suffering mechanical difficulties shortly before the start, but Rossi was only one place above him and launched a thrilling charge through the field. He gained 11 places on the first lap alone and reached fourth place with 18 of the 30 laps remaining. The charismatic Italian could make no further progress but could still have won the title had the Hondas of Marquez and Dani Pedrosa both passed Lorenzo. Both were closing but their battle for second allowed Lorenzo some precious breathing space and he calmly took the chequered flag. "I was under a lot of pressure, the rear tyre was destroyed," said Spaniard Lorenzo, who was surprisingly subjected to boos from sections of his home crowd. He has now won five world championships in total - three in MotoGP and two racing in the 250cc category. "I just tried to focus and go as fast as possible, the bike was moving around so much. I was praying to finish the race. Now I am five-times world champion, it is easy to say but hard to do. I am very proud. This is a world title for Spain!" Marquez, 22, who relinquished his world title, finished second in the race. He said: "I was preparing an attack for the last few laps but when Dani went past me I lost time. "I tried to take Jorge in the last corner but there was a lot of risk and I nearly lost the front. Second place is not the best way to end the season but next year we will fight for the championship again." Rossi was furious with Marquez after the race, claiming that the Spanish rider went out of his way to prevent the Italian from winning the title. "Today was embarrassing for everybody," he said. "It was unbelievable, the behaviour of Marquez is something very bad for everything, especially for the sport. "It is something that nobody expects, because a Honda rider that made a Yamaha rider win and give the maximum just to push out his team-mate is something that nobody expects and I think it is very, very bad news. "Anyway, it is like this, we have to accept it." Valencia result: 1. Jorge Lorenzo (Spain) Yamaha 45:59.364 2. Marc Marquez (Spain) Honda 45:59.627 3. Dani Pedrosa (Spain) Honda 46:00.018 4.

Southwark Council in London expressed its "sincere regret" as it pleaded guilty to the four charges last week. A £400,000 fine was reduced to £270,000 because the council pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. The fire started in Lakanal House, Camberwell, due an electrical fault with a television. Southwark Council must also pay £300,000 costs, Southwark Crown Court ruled. The victims all lived on the 11th floor. They were: Dayana Francisquini, 26, and her children, six-year-old Thais, and Felipe, three; Helen Udoaka, 34, and her three-week-old daughter Michelle; and 31-year-old Catherine Hickman. The charges, dating from 1 October 2006 to 3 July 2009, included a failure to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, failure to take general fire precautions - including in relation to safety of employees - and a failure to ensure that premises were subject to a suitable system of maintenance. The council was taken to court by London Fire Brigade. The court heard deficiencies included: Richard Matthews QC, for the council, expressed "sincere regret for the failures that were present in the building". The court heard there had been a major refurbishment on the building in 2006 and 2007. Mr Matthews said it was a matter of "enormous disappointment and regret" that those works did not identify failures in boxing-in, failures in the ceilings and failures regarding signage on balconies. London Fire Brigade's assistant commissioner for fire safety Dan Daly said: "The fire at Lakanal House was a particularly harrowing incident and our thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of those who died." He added he hoped lessons would be learned "so we can reduce the likelihood of such a devastating fire ever happening again". Sum: A council has been fined for breaching fire safety regulations after a tower block blaze in 2009 killed three women and three children. A strategy to double the number of Welsh speakers in the next 30 years has been published by the Welsh Government. To hit this target, a plan to increase Welsh medium education by a third over the next 14 years has been announced. The Conservatives said ministers would need to persuade people and communities of the benefits of bilingualism. Currently 22% of seven-year-olds are being taught in Welsh-medium schools but ministers want it to rise to 30% at every level by 2030. If the expansion is achieved, it would mark the biggest increase in recent years. First Minister Carwyn Jones has called on the entire nation to take ownership of the language in order to meet the target. The pledge has attracted cross-party support at the assembly. As part of the proposals, pupils in English-medium schools will have to devote more time learning the Welsh language. The full details will not be known until the new curriculum is finalised before its expected implementation in 2021. There will be 150 more Welsh-medium nursery groups created over the next decade, as well as plans to recruit significantly more Welsh-speaking teachers in order to cope with demand. The intention is for 70% of all pupils to be fluent in Welsh by the time they leave school in 2050. "Reaching a million speakers is a deliberately ambitious target to so that the Welsh language thrives for future generations," Mr Jones said. "If we are to succeed, we need the whole nation to take ownership of the language. "Politicians can't impose that, but politicians can lead. By raising our expectations and adopting an ambitious vision, we have the potential to change the future outlook for the language." Many of the changes in education provision will be implemented by councils. Mr Jones said in some schools there would be a shift in the language from English to Welsh, as well as new Welsh-medium schools built to cope with the increase in demand. He claimed controversy over changes at a school in Llangennech, Carmarthenshire, was "almost the echo of something we saw many years ago". "For me, the amount of goodwill to the language and support for the language is there among the vast majority of people," he said. Suzy Davies, Conservative spokeswoman on the Welsh language, said she supported the drive but added: "Success will depend on persuading our different communities, different individuals, why it is so valuable to be bilingual, to have skills in both our languages. "Clearly, the more pupils learn through the medium of Welsh, or hear and see more Welsh as a normal part of school life, the better the prospect of increasing fluency among the next generation of Welsh speakers. So we do support this. "But we also need to look at challenges faced by the current generation - in particular, adults in work - and I want to see more opportunities to upskill the Welsh workforce in their actual workplace." Plaid Cymru AM Sian Gwenllian welcomed the strategy "as a constructive first step" but said ministers must show the "necessary political will and leadership to achieve the aims over a sustained period of time". She said the 30% target for Welsh medium education by 2031 and 40% by 2050 "even if achieved, is unlikely to be enough" and that the "challenge to the language" stood "side by side with the challenge of defeating poverty". "In order for the language to survive and thrive, the Welsh Government must ensure that appropriate economic and social conditions exist throughout our nation so that Welsh speakers can stay or return to Welsh speaking communities," she said. UKIP said it supported the target but warned that if ministers did not put the interests of "parents and communities first" they risked "alienating monoglot English speaking communities". The campaign group Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) claimed the strategy was "weak" and that its measures did not go far enough. Toni Schiavone, chair of the society's education group, said: "The content of the government's language strategy is far from sufficient if we are to reach a million Welsh speakers. "Indeed, the targets are lower than those in the strategy they announced seven years ago." Mr Sciavone said it was also "surprising" there was no mention of a previous government commitment to remove the distinction between Welsh and second language Welsh at GCSE level by 2021. Carwyn Jones believes the heat and the divisions surrounding the Welsh language have been consigned to the history books. This strategy is likely to put that view to the test in a number of communities. There is no major new funding, so any rise in Welsh-medium education will have to be matched by a corresponding reduction in capacity in English-language schools. How controversial that proves depends on the role of local authorities who will be crucial in the entire process. The Welsh Government's "hearts and minds" approach will have to be prepared to deal with complaints that Welsh-medium education is getting the lion's share of new funding. One of the central pillars of the argument from ministers is that this is not a central government diktat, but a response to the increase in demand for Welsh-medium education across many different communities. Sum:
Plans to increase Welsh medium education have been set out as part of a target to get one million people speaking Welsh by 2050.

Summarize this article: Republic captain Seamus Coleman suffered a terrible double leg fracture in Friday's game and O'Shea is relieved he didn't also sustain a bad injury. O'Shea, 35, played on but later had several stitches put into a shin wound. "I was lucky considering happened to Seamus. On another night there could have been two red cards," said O'Shea. Asked if the Real Madrid star's challenge had been late, O'Shea, who will now miss Tuesday's friendly against Iceland, said: "Maybe, but thankfully I'm walking away from it, which is no problem. "I can't remember how many stitches it was. The doctor had to stick some in deep and a few dissolvable ones on top. Hopefully it will heal quickly." The Sunderland defender was caught high and late by Bale, who received a yellow card for the sliding challenge in the goalless draw at the Aviva Stadium. Wales boss Chris Coleman later launched a passionate defence of both Bale and Neil Taylor, who was sent off for his foul on Seamus Coleman, and O'Shea said he had "no problem" with physical challenges. He said: "When you're playing England, Scotland or Wales, the games are going to be like that. They are the games you want to be involved in. "As the opposition manager, you're going to protect your own players. In a derby game, you're going to expect some tasty tackles - but, as I said, within reason. "There's no problem getting a hard tackle - but if it's late, it's a different story." Media playback is not supported on this device O'Shea was significantly more fortunate than Coleman, who faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on Saturday. The Republic were disappointed not to have made their numerical advantage count during the final 20 minutes or so of the game as Serbia replaced them at the top of Group D on goal difference. However given that they had gone into it without Robbie Brady, Shane Duffy, Ciaran Clark, James McCarthy, Harry Arter, Wes Hoolahan and Daryl Murphy, there was no sense of despondency in the Republic ranks. "If you gave us this position at the start of the group, we'd have taken it," added O'Shea, who won his 117th cap in Friday's game.
The Republic of Ireland's John O'Shea says he was lucky to avoid a serious injury after a Gareth Bale challenge in the World Cup qualifier against Wales.

Write an article based on this summary: Uber has said it could have done more to pull unsafe cars off the road in Singapore, amid allegations it rented out faulty vehicles to drivers.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Uber was aware of a Honda Vezel recall when it purchased more than 1,000 Vezels that were then leased to drivers. One of these cars caught fire in January, according to the report. Uber has faced a string of controversies in recent months. Honda recalled the Vezel model in April 2016 due to a faulty component that could cause overheating. According to the Wall Street Journal, Uber subsequently bought more than 1,000 of the models and leased them to drivers in Singapore through its affiliate car-leasing company, Lion City Rental. The leasing arrangement was designed to meet strong demand in the country where the cost of owning a vehicle is extremely high. In January, one Uber driver had flames burst from the dashboard of his Vezel, causing damage to the interior and windshield, the report said. He was not injured. "As soon as we learned of a Honda Vezel from the Lion Cit Rental fleet catching fire, we took swift action to fix the problem," Uber said in a statement to the BBC. It did not provide details of what action was taken. However, the firm said "we could have done more" to deal with the issue. Uber said it had responded to six vehicle recalls since the beginning of the year. The company has introduced "robust protocols and hired three dedicated experts in-house at Lion City Rental whose sole job is to ensure we are fully responsive to safety recalls". Uber said it had worked with Singapore's transport authorities to rectify the problem. The Land Transport Authority did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment. The safety fears are the latest damaging development to hit Uber in recent months. It continues to face legal challenges as it fights to repair a corporate image badly bruised by sexism and misconduct allegations. Chief executive Travis Kalanick resigned in June, bowing to pressure from shareholders. His departure came after a review of practices at the firm and scandals including complaints of sexual harassment. The San Francisco-based company, which is valued at about $70bn (£53bn), has faced several hurdles in its attempts to rapidly expand globally. Uber breached local transport regulations in countries including South Korea and India. The company suspended operations in Macau earlier this year after a dispute with local regulators. Taxi drivers around the world have protested and accused the ride-sharing firm of unfair competition and undercutting prices.

Write an article based on this summary: Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney is to ask Chancellor George Osborne to ease the "tax burden" on the North Sea oil industry. Article:
The move ahead of the UK government's budget in March was sanctioned by a meeting of the Scottish cabinet. Ministers agreed that they would lobby to "remove barriers to exploration" and back reskilling. A spokesman for the UK government said it was committed to supporting the oil and gas industry. Concerns are growing for the sector as global oil prices continue to slide. The cost of a barrel of Brent crude oil has fallen from more than $100 in January 2014 to less than $30 in January 2016. The Scottish government believed fiscal policy was the "main lever for incentivising investment, exploration and production in the North Sea". And because tax policy is reserved to the UK government, the cabinet decided that Mr Swinney should seek an "urgent meeting" with Mr Osborne to outline why taxes on the industry "must be lowered". After the meeting, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that the oil and gas industry was a "huge success story" for Scotland. It had also fostered innovation, supported energy security and skilled employment, and generated significant economic value, she added. However, she went on: "There is no doubt the industry is currently facing an extremely challenging outlook, but oil and gas can continue to make a significant contribution to the Scottish economy and energy security for decades to come. "However, this will only be achieved if we support the industry through this difficult period, encourage investment and ensure it remains well placed to benefit from a future upturn in oil prices." Ms Sturgeon said the cabinet agreed to; Following news of the Scottish cabinet meeting, the UK government said that in last year's spring Budget, a package of reforms worth £1.3bn was available to support the sector. A spokesman added: "This included reducing the headline tax rates and introducing a new Investment Allowance to reward companies investing in the UK Continental Shelf. "This package is expected to encourage over £4bn of additional investment over the next five years. We also recently set out our strategy to maximise economic recovery through better collaboration between companies and improved cost-efficiency." The focus on the oil and gas industry comes as financial services company KPMG said that "waning confidence" among potential sector lenders was a "real concern". KPMG's Geoff Jacobs said: "Although lenders will want to remain supportive, businesses will have to take the initiative to demonstrate they have a strategy to navigate the current challenges to secure the ongoing support of their stakeholders and maximise their chances of coming through the current difficulties. "Collaboration is a priority for the industry now and that also extends to the financial institutions with a stake in it. "We know that our industry is cyclical and that the market will recover. "For now it is a question of not panicking and doing everything possible to ensure that the industry maintains its ability to function when the tide begins to turn."

Summarize this article: Fighters said to be from the Nusra Front briefly seized a police station in Arsal, which is home to thousands of refugees from the war in Syria. On Sunday morning, the fighting was continuing in the mainly Sunni town. The area has been the scene of regular tension between the Lebanese army and Syrian militias. Previous border incursions never went so deeply into Lebanese territory. One report says four Lebanese nationals were killed, including two soldiers, and several others were seized, as rebels roamed the streets while Lebanese helicopters hovered overhead. The Lebanese army says eight of its soldiers have been killed in clashes, other reports say. Lebanese Prime Minster Tammam Salam described the assault as a "flagrant attack on the Lebanese state". A Nusra Front spokesman told Reuters news agency they were demanding the release of a leader, Emad Jumaa, after he was arrested at a checkpoint near the town, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim. Lebanon's army, which rushed tanks to Arsal, said in a statement it "would not allow any party to transfer the battle from Syria to its land". Meanwhile, Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon's Shia Muslim community are said to have taken part in an ambush on rebels inside Syria on the side of President Bashar al-Assad. At least 50 rebels, including members of the Nusra Front, were killed in the attack in the Qalamoun area near the Lebanese border on Saturday, activists and security sources said. The Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, has been fighting along with other rebel groups against the Syrian government but has also clashed with fellow jihadist group Islamic State (IS), which is seeking to carve out a new Islamist state straddling Syria and Iraq. Lebanon now hosts more than a million Syrian refugees, meaning a quarter of its total population is Syrian.
There have been scenes of chaos as rebels from Syria raided a border town in Lebanon, killing members of the security forces and abducting others.

Summarize this article: The 71-year-old won 60.75% of the vote while his nearest rival Kizza Besigye took 35%, the election commission said. Mr Museveni's supporters said his opponents had failed to offer any chance of progress. But Mr Besigye, who is under house arrest, said the results were a "sham", calling on the international community to reject them. "We have just witnessed what must be the most fraudulent electoral process in Uganda," he said in a statement. EU observers have also criticised the poll, saying the governing party had created an "intimidating atmosphere" and that the opposition alleged vote rigging. While praising the "remarkable determination" of Ugandans to vote, EU Chief Observer Eduard Kukan said the governing National Resistance Movement's "domination of the political landscape distorted the fairness of the campaign". The election has been marred by sporadic violence and opposition allegations of electoral fraud, with social media sites and messaging apps blocked. Mr Besigye was put under house arrest on Friday on the suspicion he would announce the results himself, breaking electoral laws, police said. It is the fourth time Mr Besigye, candidate for the opposition Forum for Democratic Change, has taken on President Museveni. The two men were once allies, with Mr Besigye serving as Mr Museveni as his personal doctor when they were guerrilla fighters. Mr Museveni seized power in 1986 and is credited with restoring stability to Uganda. However, critics say he has become increasingly authoritarian. The next closest challenger to Mr Museveni, former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, is also reportedly under house arrest. Uganda's old guard tries new election tactics

Media playback is not supported on this device City manager Pep Guardiola has said he will not pick Toure until his agent Dimitri Seluk apologises for criticising the decision to leave him out of the Champions League squad. "I wish to apologise - on behalf of myself and those who represent me," said the Ivory Coast player. The 33-year-old added that he wants "to help City succeed further". Seluk said Toure, whose £200,000-a-week contract expires next summer, had been "humiliated" when he was not included in City's Champions League squad. Guardiola, who was Barcelona boss when Toure was sold to City in 2010, responded at the time by saying: "Seluk must apologise. If he doesn't, he won't play. "I cannot accept as a coach, when his player doesn't play, going to the media to speak and speak and speak." Asked by BBC Sport about Guardiola's stance, Seluk then said: "What do I need to apologise for?" "Those statements do not represent my views on the club or the people who work there," added Toure on Friday, who has not played for City since 24 August. "I have nothing but respect for Manchester City and only wish the best for the football club. "I am immensely proud to have played a part in the club's history and want to help City succeed further. I live to play football and entertain the fans. "On that note, I would like to thank all of the fans for their messages through this difficult period. This means a great deal to me and my family." Toure, a four-time African Footballer of the Year, has scored 75 goals in 267 appearances for City since arriving from Barca for £24m. He was won the Premier League twice, the FA Cup and two League Cups during his time in England. This article was about:

Summarize this article in one sentence. Roy Wooldridge, 97, of Hendy, Carmarthenshire, was captured in France while on a secret mission just before D-Day in 1944. He was taken to Erwin Rommel who decided he should not be shot. Mr Wooldridge, who was twice awarded the Military Cross, later lived in Cardiff, where his funeral was held. The Royal Engineer previously recounted his memories of war on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow in 2014. He recalled how Rommel asked if he needed anything and he replied "a pint of beer, cigarettes and a good meal". His collection of war memorabilia, including the empty cigarette packet given to him by Rommel, was valued at £10,000 by experts but he did not want to sell it and it will now be donated to the Imperial War Museum in London. Mr Wooldridge went to Llanelli Grammar School and graduated from Aberystwyth University with a first class honours degree in mathematics. He married three days before a telegram ordered him to report to his unit and he was sent to the French beaches to ensure there were no mines which could blow up the boats during the D-Day landings. After the war, he lectured at colleges in Brighton, Wolverhampton and Lanchester in Coventry before becoming college principal in Derby. Mr Wooldridge did not talk about his experiences of war until much later on in his life. "He had a good war, not that we heard much about it when we were growing up," his son Ian Wooldridge said. "He didn't talk about it a great deal, many of the people who came back didn't, but certainly he was regarded as a hero. The Military Cross and bar bear testimony to that." "He always regarded Rommel as a man of honour who fought a clean war, despite the fact Hitler had ordered anybody captured without names tags, which our father was, was to be shot," he added. "Rommel didn't agree with that and so dad always reckoned that it was Rommel who saved his life." Mr Wooldridge died on 9 December. A procession with a New Orleans-style jazz band was held on Thursday ahead of his funeral at St Martin's Church in Roath.

Summarize: The cherubic little girl sits on the concrete floor, pretending to cook dinner. She is the same age as Alan Kurdi, the Syrian boy whose body washed up last week on a Turkish beach. Soon she will take her place in an overcrowded smuggler's dinghy just as he did. Her doting father, Mounib Zakiya, plans to take his children and grandchildren from the Jordanian capital to the Turkish coast, to be smuggled into Europe. He says he is leaving Amman, after three years, for one reason - his meagre aid has been cut off. "It's safe here," said the former estate agent, "and life is good. But we have to buy food and milk for the children. We have to pay for medical care. How can I pay the rent?" His family of nine was living on about $1 (£0.65) a day per person. Now even that has gone. He says the United Nations and the international community are forcing him to risk all on the open seas. "They bear 75% of the responsibility," he said, cradling Rana on his lap. "They have opened a gate to death, and are making us walk through it. "It's better to die fast on the journey, than die slowly, watching your kids starve." Mr Zakiya is one of many Syrian refugees in Jordan who have lost their lifeline. For months the World Food Programme (WFP) has been cutting aid to the bone due to a lack of donations. It reduced the monthly stipend for about 211,000 Syrians by half. At the beginning of September it went further. Almost 230,000 Syrian refugees - living in cities, not camps - had their aid stopped entirely. Help is still being provided for 100,000 living in camps, but there, too, funds could run out in November. Aid workers say that if refugees cannot get help where they are, they will risk their lives to find it elsewhere. "If people were receiving enough assistance and were able to have a somewhat stable life where they are, they would not make that decision," said the WFP's Dina El-Kassaby. "But unfortunately, some people are pushed to the edge." Adnan Ghanoum is one of them. The former factory owner from Damascus, aged 61, is weighed down with worries about his extended family. He has 19 relatives living with him in Amman, including a disabled daughter. Mr Ghanoum says he almost had a heart attack when he read the SMS saying his aid was ending. "We have no future here in Jordan," he said. "There is no education, no work, and no money. We have been eating flour and onions for a week." He is now thinking of returning to the war zone from which he fled. "It's better to go back to Syria to die there," he said, "and rest in peace." If he goes back home, he will not be the only one. Aid agencies say the numbers returning to Syria have doubled since the cuts began. And the flow of refugees from Jordan to Europe is expected to increase substantially. Western governments are partly to blame because they did not provide enough support in the region, according to one senior aid worker. He says it would have "made sense" for Europe to invest here but there was "penny-pinching and ineptitude". Mounib Zakiya says he and his family would stay in Jordan, if their aid was restored. But he has already packed blankets and winter clothing for their journey to Europe. He knows they could perish on the way - just like his old neighbours from Syria who drowned two weeks ago. The family of five slipped beneath the waves as they tried to cross the Aegean Sea. "If we die, I hope it will be on the TV and everyone will see it," he said sombrely. "Then maybe they will find a solution for Syria."
In a rented flat, in a poor district of Amman, it is playtime for Rana, a refugee from Syria.

Problem: Article: The 35-year-old England international was sin-binned for the challenge on Sutcliffe a minute into Friday's 25-14 Super League victory over the Rhinos. Sutcliffe, 22, was taken off with concussion and was unable to return. Westwood was also fined £300 and will start his suspension by missing Thursday's derby at Widnes. Back-rower Westwood was charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with a grade D charge, which carried a ban of between three and five games, and entered a guilty plea at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday. Leigh forward Gareth Hock, 33, was also handed a one-match ban after admitting using foul and abusive language towards a match official and will miss his side's trip to Salford on Good Friday. Catalans prop Sam Moa, St Helens centre Mark Percival and Leeds centre Jimmy Keinhorst will be free to play in their sides' respective fixtures against Huddersfield, Wigan and Hull FC after submitting early guilty pleas to grade A offences. Moa was charged with raising the knee in a tackle, Percival with disputing the referee's decision and Keinhorst with dangerous contact.

Mackay was the first Saints captain to lift the Scottish Cup, in 2014, and manager Tommy Wright said the player was close to "irreplaceable". "I'm happy that I've given myself every chance to get back playing but it's not to be," MacKay told the St Johnstone website. "I've been aware of this issue for the past couple of years and, although the first operation brought about a level of improvement that enabled me to get back playing and feeling fine, there was a gradual deterioration again over a period of time to the extent that I was unable to train. "A second operation followed which again helped but not to the extent that I feel that I can get back to the fitness levels needed for full-time football. "The decision hasn't been an easy one but I've had to take into consideration that I don't want to do irreversible damage that affects me away from football. "I'll obviously miss playing but my decision opens up plenty of other opportunities. "The club has done everything it could have to help in my recovery and I thank them for that and I thank the fans for their support over the past seven years and assure them I'll be around the club for some time yet." Mackay, who also played for Dundee and Livingston, has been coaching Saints' under-20s side, which he says he is "thoroughly enjoying". In total, he made 268 appearances for St Johnstone and Wright said: "It's disappointing news for Dave and the club but ultimately he is still a young man and it's the best decision for him and that's all that matters. "I could go on all day about what Dave has done for Saints but that is well documented in the club history books. "The simple truth is that I'm losing a great player and my captain. Very few players can be described as irreplaceable but Dave comes close. "He'll be missed in the dressing room with his leadership qualities and dry sense of humour and on behalf of myself, my staff and the players we wish him every success in the future."

The island side were 10-7 up at half-time thanks to a Jordan Davies try at the Madejski Stadium, after Tom Parton had earlier gone over for the hosts. Nick Haining powered over to extend the advantage, before Ciaran Hearn's score helped Irish edge ahead. But Callum Sheedy's penalty and Nick Selway's try sent Jersey through to face Munster A in the final in Ireland. The semi-final was played just eight days after a Championship meeting between the sides, when in-form Jersey inflicted a first league defeat of the season on their opponents. Both Sheedy and Theo Brophy Clews missed early long-range penalties before the visitors edged 3-0 ahead. Midway through the half, though, the Championship leaders caught Jersey off guard for the opening try when England Under-20 international Parton eased in down the left wing after a quickly-taken free kick. Jersey hit back before the break thanks to the power and agility of former Sale centre Davies, who stretched out for the line after good work from Tongan Kuki Ma'afu. The Reds started the second half brightly as Australian number number eight Haining sneaked in on the blindside for his try. Errors started to creep in to Jersey's play as the prize of reaching the final grew nearer. and George Watkins should have gone over for a try but knocked-on, while Sheedy's penalty went dead instead of setting up a attacking line-out. The Exiles capitalised when Hearn went over by the posts after a series of drives and then Brophy Clews put Irish 17-15 ahead after the Reds strayed offside. But as the game headed for its climax, Gerard Ellis was sent to the sin-bin for an infringement at a maul and Sheedy bravely took the responsibility to put Jersey back in front. With a man advantage and time ticking away, replacement hooker Selway burst off the side of a rolling maul for a converted try to seal a 10th consecutive win for his side. Irish assistant coach Paul Hodgson told BBC Radio Berkshire: "There's disappointment. We were out to win this semi-final and go on to win the cup. "For this group of players, it's served a great purpose for us and given game time for those guys who haven't been playing regular Championship rugby. "I thought the boys showed so much character out there. We wanted to show some physicality and intensity, which we did. "There were just a few other areas of the game that didn't go our way and we'll have to definitely fix those going forward to the play-offs." Reds head coach Harvey Biljon told BBC Radio Jersey: "Who would've thought we could beat London Irish two weeks, back-to-back. "I think immense credit must go to the players - to back up the physical performances there have been over the past four, five, six weeks is just something else. "I think today was about, in the second half, rolling up the sleeves and getting on with it, it was just a tough, tough game."

Article: The Liverpool Life Sciences Accelerator will provide state-of-the-art laboratory space and offices on the Daulby Street site. The accelerator is expected to open in June 2017. The Chrysalis fund, which supports commercial regeneration in the city, has invested £11.5m in the project. The laboratory is being developed in partnership with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). Professor Janet Hemingway, director of the school, said: "LSTM was one of the first institutions in the world to recognise the importance of studying and understanding the phenomenon of drug resistance. The accelerator will allow us to further boost Liverpool's reputation as a world renowned centre of expertise." The facility will "benefit global health" by taking research and innovation from the laboratory to "where it is needed most," she added. The accelerator is the first development in the creation of a city centre health campus that will be built on the site of the existing Royal Liverpool University Hospital, the trust said. Building work will begin mid-November. ++++++++++ Summarize: A £25m laboratory is to be built at the new Royal Liverpool hospital to carry out research into antibiotic resistance. Problem: The strikes have also caused severe delays and disruption to Eurostar services to Paris and London. Belgian rail unions are protesting against government reforms designed to streamline services and make the industry more efficient. Unions say the plans will cost thousands of jobs and cut services. The unions also maintain there were no serious negotiations with government officials during 2015 to seek a compromise on the reforms. As a result, they said, they had no choice but to take strike action. Brussels's main station, the Gare du Midi, was largely deserted on Wednesday as the strike action began. Officials said the Thalys line to Paris and Eurostar services to London would be cut or severely affected in Belgium for the next two days. What was that article about? A: The start of a two-day rail strike in Belgium has almost completely paralysed train services in and around the capital, Brussels. Problem: The ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) has won a huge majority in parliament following the 23 August election, according to official results, meaning he will succeed Jose Eduardo Dos Santos. Under Mr Dos Santos, there was one golden rule for anyone who wanted to survive politically in Angola: Do not make your ambitions known. President Dos Santos remained in charge by making sure that any potential challenger was quickly sidelined. Joao Lourenco, 63, known as JLo, who was born to a family involved in anti-colonial politics, learnt that lesson the hard way. In 1998, the liberation war veteran and Angolan Armed Forces general was elected MPLA secretary-general - a sign that his political fortunes were on the rise. Three years later, when President Dos Santos hinted that he might be ready to resign the presidency, Mr Lourenco made known his interest in the top job. But the MPLA victory, early in 2002, in a 27-year civil war against the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Unita), served to relaunch Mr Dos Santos' presidency, and any talk of retirement was soon forgotten. The following year at the 2003 MPLA party congress, Mr Lourenco was demoted. In 2012, as Mr Dos Santos approached 70, the succession issue became more pressing. When the president elevated his cousin, Manuel Vicente, to become vice-president, some foreign observers saw this as the anointing of Mr Vicente as a successor. However, Mr Lourenco, would have known better - that the MPLA would never endorse a political outsider like Mr Vicente as president, and that a man with no military pedigree was a risky choice in a country where the security forces lurk in the shadows of politics. Mr Lourenco, on the other hand, could be confident that he himself had both the party and the military credentials, and that this was enough to earn forgiveness for his lack of caution a decade earlier. Sure enough, his appointment as defence minister in 2014 signalled his rehabilitation. And his election in 2016 as MPLA party vice-president left no doubt that he would succeed the by now ailing Mr Dos Santos. But Mr Dos Santos's long-held suspicion of potential rivals has made it nearly impossible for Mr Lourenco, or anyone else, to show initiative or cultivate a following. This makes it difficult to know what to expect from the next president of one of Africa's biggest oil producers. Is Angola's Dos Santos really giving up power? While Mr Lourenco is only 12 years younger than President Dos Santos, he has been forced in the past few months to reinvent himself as a bringer of generational change. The man born in 1954, schooled in the military and in the mysteries of the political culture of the old MPLA, has suddenly discovered social media. He rarely looks entirely comfortable in his Facebook photos, even when relaxing at home with his wife, the former government minister and World Bank official Ana Dias Lourenco. Although not naturally charismatic, Mr Lourenco's down-to-earth image is in sharp contrast to the affected manners of the equally uncharismatic Mr Dos Santos. After the MPLA's final election rally, Mr Lourenco was filmed walking among the crowd, and showing young voters how to make their cross on a sample ballot paper. Although the incident was choreographed for the TV cameras, Mr Lourenco displayed more of a common touch in one minute than his predecessor had managed in decades. He looks set to take control of a state in which President Dos Santos' relatives and loyalists remain in key positions and Mr Dos Santos himself remains in the kingmaker role as MPLA chairman. Mr Lourenco will, however, have the support of those who see the corruption of the Mr Dos Santos regime as a liability to the party's future. The MPLA is under unprecedented pressure. During the post-2003 oil boom, the government did little to diversify the economy away from its reliance on oil. Consequently the slump in the oil price since 2014 has led to a foreign currency squeeze, job losses and soaring food prices in a country where most people were already struggling to make ends meet. Once he takes over as president, Mr Lourenco needs to consolidate an independent support base within the MPLA. And the sooner Mr Dos Santos quits as party leader, the better for Mr Lourenco. In the end, the health of Angola's long-time leader, who has been undergoing cancer treatment for at least a year, could prove crucial. What was that article about? A:
Joao Lourenco has a huge challenge ahead, as he becomes Angola's first new president in 38 years.

Summarize this article in one sentence. The deal gives Sports Direct about 50 stores selling sports and casual wear and camping equipment. Mike Ashley's chain said the "footprint" in US bricks and mortar retail would give it a "platform from which to grow US online sales". It has bought the debts of parent firm Eastern Outfitters and lent it money. Eastern filed for protection from its creditors in February. In the year to 28 January, Bob's and Eastern Outfitters notched up losses of $26m. The assets of the firms amounted to $126m. Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown said Sports Direct had picked up a "bargain out of bankruptcy proceedings". He said Sports Direct had been involved in the US sports retail market before, through its stake in Dick's Sporting Goods, "but this time round it has decided to jump in directly". However, he added that unlike some of the company's previous investments the "rationale for today's deal is pretty clear. Eastern Mountain will serve as a starter pack, providing the group with feet on the ground from which to launch a wider US strategy, a strategy that looks set to be led by online sales. Analysts at Peel Hunt were critical of the deal saying they were "rapidly losing patience with the company's lack of ability to stick to a strategy". In a research report they pointed out that Sports Direct had already vowed to take its UK business more upmarket. "To us, this should be all-encompassing, and should leave absolutely no management time for anything else," they said. "What is not required, in our view, is a major (and not inexpensive) distraction, 3,000 miles away." Nick Hyett also sounded a note of caution: "It's unlikely to be an easy road, many UK retailers have run afoul of the challenging US market." The retailers shares, which initially rose following the announcement have subsequently fallen. Sports Direct currently has about 700 sports stores in the UK and continental Europe, more than 400 operating under the Sportsdirect.com name. It also owns brand names including Slazenger, Lonsdale and Everlast. Sports Direct has attracted controversy in the UK after coming under fire over zero hours contracts and the disclosure that staff at a warehouse were paid less than the minimum wage. Mr Ashley, the founder and majority owner of Sports Direct, also owns Newcastle United. Summary:
Sports Direct has snapped up the US sports clothing and outdoor equipment chains Bob's Stores and Eastern Mountain Sports in a $101m (£79m) deal.

Summarize this article in one sentence. Former Cameroon captain Eto'o was suspended by the club until further notice last month after allegedly accusing the club leadership of racism on social media. Antalyaspor chairman Ali Safak Ozturk said Eto'o had expressed regret over the posting and had insisted it was not aimed at the club leadership. "We hope he will behave more carefully in the future and make a positive contribution to the team." Ozturk announced during a meeting with the squad. 35-year-old Eto'o had written the controversial post on his Instagram account last month in reference to a public criticism, saying: "Perhaps some people do not feel respect for me because I am black." Eto'o later made a second post denying the criticism was aimed at Antalyaspor chairman Ali Safak Ozturk, who had criticised Eto'o for his performances earlier in the season. Ozturk said at the time, "no player is above the interests of Antalyaspor. Everyone must know their place." Eto'o called Ozturk his "brother" in his second Instagram post, adding that the Turkish people had supported him "wholeheartedly". "My message was to a person who criticises me unjustly for years and while he continues his criticisms, I kept winning trophies," Eto'o wrote, with the Turkish club stating Eto'o would have a separate training programme until his case was heard by their executive board. Eto'o, who came off the bench in the first half, could not prevent Antalyaspor from losing 3-1 at Galatasaray. His side remain bottom of the Turkish Super Lig. Three-time Champions League winner Eto'o moved to Antalyaspor in June 2015 as the keystone of the club's bid in the southern Mediterranean resort city to find national and even European success. But his stint has turned sour since August amid intense rumours in the close season that he would join Istanbul arch rivals Besiktas. Four-time African footballer of the year Eto'o enjoyed much of his club success at Barcelona, where he played from 2004 to 2009. His trophies there included three La Liga crowns, alongside former Brazil forward Ronaldinho, and two Champions League titles. He also won the Champions League, under Jose Mourinho, at Inter Milan in 2010, and has an Olympic gold medal, which he won with Cameroon in 2000. Eto'o is the leading all-time scorer in the Nations Cup with 18 goals and he appeared at four World Cup finals - 1998, 2002, 2010 and 2014 - playing in eight matches and scoring three goals. Cameroon's 54-goal all-time leading scorer won back-to-back African Cup of Nations with his country at the 2000 and 2002 editions.
Turkish club Antalyaspor lifted Samuel Eto'o's suspension and included him in the squad to face Galatasaray on Sunday, after warning him over his future conduct.

Clyde twice surrendered the lead as they lost 3-2 to Stirling Albion and Edinburgh City earned a surprise 3-0 win over Elgin City at Meadowbank. Pat Scullion put Berwick ahead early on at Station Park, only for Danny Denholm to restore parity on the stroke of half-time. Quick-fire goals from Denholm and Greg Rutherford put the Wee Rangers in control and, despite a late penalty from David Cox, they hung on to dent the hosts' promotion aspirations. Forfar have now failed to win in seven successive matches, but Arbroath missed the opportunity to take advantage of their rivals' poor form. Gary Fraser claimed Montrose's winner - and the only goal of the game - five minutes from time at Gayfield Park to leave the hosts a point off the top. Annan moved into third after their 1-0 success at home to Cowdenbeath, Aidan Smith's superb strike 14 minutes from time proving the difference between the sides. Second-bottom Clyde missed the chance to move further above Cowdenbeath after a frustrating home defeat by Stirling. The Cumbernauld side were ahead twice, but Darren Smith scored the visitors' winner after he and Ross Kavanagh had cancelled out Peter MacDonald's opener and David Gormley's penalty. In the day's other game, Dougie Gair's brace and a late goal from Jordan Caddow helped Edinburgh defeat Elgin, who drop to fourth. It means Edinburgh move three points clear of Clyde. Summarize. output: Arbroath squandered the chance to go top of Scottish League Two, after league leaders Forfar Athletic were beaten by 3-2 Berwick Rangers. Article: Those behind City of Trees hopes the effort will not only green the region but improve our understanding of the benefits trees provide to society. These include reducing stress, improve air quality and the amount of time shoppers spend in retail areas. The project is also testing how trees can reduce flooding in built-up areas. City of Trees director Tony Hothersall explained that the scheme had three main objectives. "One is to plant three million trees, ie. a tree for every man woman and child, over the next 25 years," he said. "Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because there is no point in planting new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already. "Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment; in planting trees; in managing areas; in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society." Mr Hothersall explained that the team planned to plant the trees all over the Greater Manchester area. "We are working with partners and landowners to identify parcels of land for tree planting," he explained. "It could be extending existing woodland and building up the biodiversity. It could be linking woodlands which also is very important for biodiversity. It could also be [planting] totally new areas of woodland." He added that there was also a focus on street tree planting and in private gardens and parks. "It is really about planting trees wherever it's appropriate to put trees," he explained, "what is really important is it's about the right tree in the right place." He explained the essence of Manchester's City of Trees project was to raise awareness among the public and policy makers of the role that trees can play in supporting and improving urban development areas. "Greater Manchester wants to be a world-class city region. We have a lot of fantastic built development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that," Mr Hothersall said. "We felt there needed to be a bit more TLC given to existing habitats, but also to... create more woodlands and natural areas. The reason for that is all the benefits trees and woodlands provide to society. "In terms of health... woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction... [and] can help to screen for noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns become more resilient to climate change both in terms of things like reducing the urban heat island effect and also reducing things like risk from surface water flooding." The City of Trees project is working with researchers from the University of Manchester in an experiment to see how trees can help reduce surface water flooding in built up areas and clean up storm water. As well as studies showing links between green spaces in urban areas and human wellbeing, there was also research highlighting a positive effect of trees in urban retail areas. Mr Hothersall said: "There has been some really good work done showing that people actually spend more in retail areas and linger longer in retail areas where there are trees. "We've seen that as quite a good example in terms of a sort of cafe culture with one of my projects in Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter in Manchester. The introduction of trees and general improvement of the environment there have actually led to a cafe culture developing from what was one of the, I suppose, harder environments in central Manchester."

Summarize this article: Keane Wallis-Bennett, 12, died at Liberton High School in April 2014. The inquiry into her death has been taking place at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. Mark Hatfield, an inspector for the Health and Safety Executive, was asked about evidence which had been given by a fellow pupil at the school. The pupil had described "mucking about" with a friend in the changing room by leaning against the wall with their feet up on the opposite wall. Fiscal depute Gary Aitken said the girl could not remember whether she and her friend had been doing this at the same time or separately. "If one of the girls was acting in the manner described, is it possible that may be the reason the wall collapsed?" he asked. Mr Hatfield replied: "If the wall was only partially cracked, I do not believe it possible for a single girl to have caused it to fall. "If the wall was already fully cracked, it is possible a single girl, acting in the way described, may have made the wall fall." He added that if two girls had been acting simultaneously and the wall was fully cracked, it would "turn possibility into probability". The parties involved in the inquiry will make their submissions on Friday.
A fatal accident inquiry into the death of an Edinburgh schoolgirl who was crushed by a falling wall has finished hearing evidence.

input: Article: Eurozone finance ministers are meeting in Brussels on Monday to continue negotiations on a deal to release a portion of billions of bailout funds. Greek ministers says they will honour a payment of €750m (£544m, $834m) to the IMF due on Tuesday. No breakthrough is expected at Monday's talks, with many issues unresolved. Greece's left-wing government has said it will not break anti-austerity electoral promises, something that has put the country at odds with European creditors. Greece has until June to agree a new reform deal with its creditors. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is reported to have told his cabinet that Europe needs to acknowledge the economic reforms that Greece has made. "We want a clear confirmation of the progress that has been made," he told a meeting on Sunday, Greece's Ana state news agency reported. Eurozone ministers are not hopeful of a deal being struck. "We have made progress, but we are not very close to an agreement," Eurogroup chair Jeroen Dijsselbloem told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. "It will surely not be reached at the Eurogroup meeting on Monday," he said. Since January the government has been dominated by Syriza, the coalition of the radical left, which came into office promising to end austerity. However, its international creditors remain unconvinced that its alternative plans to raise money will be sufficient to pay the bills. Hence this prolonged stalemate - which has stretched Greek state finances to the limit. The pressure on the Greek government to do a deal is immense. But if the only deal available is one that means it will have to break many of its election pledges, it could face rebellion within its own party. That means a referendum could be called in Greece on whatever deal finally emerges. It would become, by necessity, a vote on whether the country should stay in the euro, or default on its debts and leave. Last week Greece's Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told the BBC that he did not expect a deal to be agreed on Monday but said agreement could be reached "within the next couple of weeks or so". Mr Varoufakis also accused the Eurozone of dragging its feet over agreeing a deal. "Europe works in glacial ways, and eventually does the right thing after it has tried all alternatives." Greece did meet last Wednesday's deadline to pay €200m (£148m) in interest to the IMF.

Article: A million tonnes of rock were blasted in order to create a level surface on which to build the European-Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). At its heart will lie a mirror that is half the size of a football pitch. This will allow astronomers to look further into space and in more detail than ever before. The explosion in Cerro Armazones in northern Chile took place just after 1840 BST and was streamed live by the European Southern Observatory. Dr Aprajita Verma, deputy project scientist for the E-ELT's UK team at the University of Oxford, said: "The telescope is a really huge step in terms of its scale - it's so much bigger than anything else. "It will give us a deeper and finer view of the Universe." Now the mountaintop has been levelled, the construction of the E-ELT will begin. It is expected to take less than 10 years. The site, in the middle of the Atacama desert - and close to the Very Large Telescope - has been chosen because of its near-perfect observing conditions: for most of the year, the sky is cloudless. The aridity there also means there is little water vapour to cloud its view of space. One of the most challenging aspects will be to create and install the telescope's 39m-wide (130ft) primary mirror. This will be made from 798 smaller hexagonal mirrors, each 1.4m-wide (4.6ft) and less than 50mm (2in) thick. Prototypes are currently being created by OpTIC Glyndwr Ltd, which is linked to Glyndwr University in Wales. This technology will allow the telescope to capture 15 times more light than any other optical telescope and it will create images that are 16 times sharper than even the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits high above the Earth. Dr Verma said: "This telescope will be so powerful that it will collect enough light to look to the observable limit of the Universe - soon after the Big Bang when the first stars and galaxies formed. "We'll be able to see when the Universe switched on." She said that it could also provide a detailed view of exoplanets - other worlds outside of the Solar System. "Well be able to look at the planets directly, look at their atmosphere and potentially look for signs of life," Dr Verma added. The European Southern Observatory, which is building the telescope, has 15 member states, including the UK. The project will cost more than a billion euros.

Question: Article:HMS Ganges at Shotley Gate was last used as a police training base until 2001. Galliard Homes has been granted planning permission to develop the site by Babergh District Council. The plans also include a hotel, a 60 bed nursing home, retail and commercial units and a commitment to restore the listed ceremonial mast. The site had been the subject of 16 planning applications since 2001, including many smaller ones which were approved but not implemented. An application for 325 homes was turned down by the government in 2006. Several parish councils raised objections that the latest plan would create too much extra traffic on the B1456 to Ipswich. Councillor Peter Beer, chairman of Babergh's development committee, said he was "confident the impact on the environment, heritage and ecology could be minimised, whilst creating new homes and jobs". "We took the concerns about traffic to heart and the county's highways department decided the development was acceptable. "The application retains many of the existing buildings and the mast, which is a real landmark and nearly beyond repair, will get re-instated which is great news." Galliard Homes will provide investment in community facilities, including £437,000 for local education and £83,980 for health services, as part of the development. The council said the approval also committed Galliard to provide funding to look at improving the foot ferry service to Harwich and Felixstowe and local cycle routes and restoring the base's indoor swimming pool.

Write an article based on this "A report has warned that people who use cannabis as teenagers are increasing their risk of psychosis."
Researchers from several countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the UK, tracked 1,900 people, aged between 14 and 24, over a 10-year period. BBC News website readers from around the world have been getting in touch with their views on these latest findings linked to the controversial drug. You will find that any data supposedly "proving" that cannabis use leads to schizophrenia or psychosis are of the "cherry picked" variety. The prohibitionist lobby have been playing this card every few years since the 1920s and, even if it were true, this would be another strong reason why cannabis possession and supply should be legal and regulated, so that quality and supply could be monitored and use by young children eliminated. I'm now 49-years-old and have been taking cannabis for more than 30 years. If I can find a good, clean source, then I won't turn it down. I started taking it as a teenager for pain relief. I had undergone a traumatic episode in my life and suffered extreme muscle damage. My friends told me it was good medically, so I thought it might help me. I'm not addicted though. I don't climb the walls if I don't get any. I have a great interest in cannabis and have tried to carry out as much research as possible into the scientific facts surrounding it without being influenced by the pro or anti lobby. I have had negative effects but only when I have taken doctored cannabis, which has been mixed with things like horse tranquiliser. That is why I try to only use the pure stuff. When I saw this study, my first reaction was "oh god". If you have any mental illness and you use drugs and alcohol, then it is likely to have an effect, but to say it causes psychosis - that's wrong. I don't drink but I do take cannabis, however, I would tell children not to dabble - in the same way they shouldn't with other substances. I smoked cannabis a couple of times when I was 24-years-old. I used to hang around with some people who regularly took it. I used to work with my father and my brother in the butchery business but after I started taking cannabis I started showing signs of psychosis. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had to spend some time in hospital. I'm now 55-years-old and those few drags I took when I was younger definitely changed my life and made it go rapidly downhill. I directly attribute my illness to the cannabis. After I started taking it, I asked my mum at the family business if I could have a holiday as I'd been working rather hard, it was then I started hearing voices and became delusional. My mum went to the doctor who asked me if I wanted to go into hospital. Initially I declined but about a month later, I agreed. I've now been on medication for most of my life and would advise people not to dabble in cannabis. I am fine now, but I am dead against the thought of taking anything that's harmful to the body. I have worked as a drug advisor in the educational field for more than 20 years and the rubbish spouted about cannabis needs to stop. Cannabis, like all psychoactive substances, will act as a catalyst for any pre disposition to a psychiatric or psychotic episode. As it is usually taken in conjunction with other drugs especially alcohol, it cannot be easily concluded that cannabis alone is the culprit. The fact that it remains illegal is probably a more relevant indicator as to why it is singled out. People with a dual diagnosis - who have mental illnesses and take cannabis - how can you distinguish which one they got first? In my own personal experiences, I know about four or five people who had "cannabis-related episodes" but they were also drinking at the time - so it was difficult to say what caused or contributed to it. Each person is different, and the way psychoactive substances affect people also varies. The other thing is that cannabis can sometimes help mental and physical problems. It can benefit certain types of auto-immune diseases. I'm not pro or anti, but think these studies need to be considered in context. I smoked cannabis for approximately 25 years and towards the end I felt like I was hanging onto sanity by my fingernails. Some of the worse symptoms included voices in the night, a constant dread of death, suicidal thoughts and intense mood swings. I never thought I would kick the habit until one day I was attacked by someone out side a supermarket due to my psychotic ramblings. This person probably saved my life or a least my sanity. Dominic, Luton, UK I have been a user of of cannabis for the past 17 years and it has never stopped me from building a good professional career with qualifications and a senior post within a large multi national organisation. I think people forget that these studies can be easily directed at similar "drugs" like alcohol and cigarettes which although are publicised as being bad for your health are completely legal. It's easy to turn around and blame someone's personal failures in life on the fact they smoke cannabis, but in reality the person probably already suffers from some form of psychosis or is plain lazy to begin with. We should stop using this as an excuse and do the right thing which is to decriminalize cannabis, this would make it much safer for the millions of people that use it recreationally. Beavis, Birmingham, UK I spent many years playing in bands in an environment where cannabis use is pretty much the norm. All it ever did for me was send me to sleep. My observation, for what it's worth: if you're not paranoid when you start smoking dope, you sure will be after you've been at it for a couple of years. David Ballantyne, Raleigh, US I spent my student years smoking pot and thinking it was not only harmless but it made me more creative (if anything it made me more lazy). But then I gave up as I realised you can't lead a successful life and smoke cannabis. But for years I believed that it was non-addictive and should be legalised. Now I work for a rehab clinic and have been doing some research into drugs. I still believe it's not addictive but I was told by people working in rehab that about 10% of dope smokers end up with psychosis, and one expert I spoke to in London said that "cannabis is the drug that creates the most problems for psychiatrists". Rupert Wolfe Murray, Bucharest, Romania I blame my son's suicide at the age 19 on cannabis use, he used it from the age of 14. I believe that cannabis use affected him badly, causing erratic behaviour and subsequent mental illness. Janine Gray, Caloundra, Australia

Belgium international Mertens also provided the second when his sliding pass was squeezed in by Jose Callejon from a tight angle. Juraj Kucka slid under Pepe Reina to give Milan hope before the break, but they could not find a second-half equaliser as Napoli stretched their unbeaten run to a 14th game in all competitions.

Article: Rangers beat Derby County 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Saturday. Victory secured a top-flight return at the first attempt for the London club. But it may give the Football League a problem recovering a huge sum in Financial Fair Play penalties. Any Football League club that exceeds an £8m loss for the 2013-14 campaign when their accounts are submitted by 1 December this year is subject to a punishment. As the 2012-13 accounts of QPR Holdings Limited posted losses of £65.4m, with a wage bill of £68m, it is not hard to envisage another hefty deficit this term given the Loftus Road outfit have lost out on about £50m in television money. The rules encourage clubs to manage their finances in a way that allows the club to be sustainable The present parachute payments do not come close to covering those losses because relegated clubs receive £60m over four years. QPR may have loaned out a number of high-earning players, including Loic Remy and Adel Taraabt, but many others remain, not all of whom featured in the play-off semi-final win over Wigan. "If QPR or any club breaches the Financial Fair Play rules, there is a system in place that calculates the potential sanctions," said Ian Clayden, a football financial expert, speaking before Saturday's final. "For the Championship, if a club is promoted to the Premier League there is a calculation table which calculates tax, if you will, on the club, based on spending over and above the acceptable limits." In 2012, after two years of detailed discussions, the Football League and its clubs agreed on a Financial Fair Play framework across all three of its divisions. A Football League statement said at the time that the framework aims to "reduce the levels of losses being incurred at some clubs and, over time, establish a league of financially self-sustaining professional football clubs". It went on to say "the decision to adopt Financial Fair Play regulations follows a strategic review by the Football League board which identified the state of club finances as the organisation's biggest challenge". Clayden said the rules were put in place because sustainability of football clubs is a key concern of the Football League. "The rules encourage clubs to manage their finances in a way that allows the club to be sustainable," he said. Had QPR remained in the Football League, they would have faced a transfer embargo until such time as they could "demonstrate they were on track to record acceptable losses or profit". However, having secured promotion to the Premier League, they will be subject to a fine. A club is allowed to lose up to £8m without sanction. Above that level, there is a sliding scale on the next £10m of losses, with a maximum fine of £6.681m. Once losses exceed £18m, the fine is imposed on a strict pound-for-pound basis. So, should there be an overall loss of £30m, the Football League would be left chasing almost £19m. If it was £50m, the figure would be nearly £39m and if QPR were to match last year's loss, their fine would be almost £54m. Not really. The regulations have attracted plenty of criticism from member clubs. For some, the parachute payments, coupled with the £8m losses allowed, distort the finances of relegated clubs. Earlier this month, Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn said Championship clubs were hopeful of changing the Financial Fair Play rules because the boundaries were unrealistic. "We are trying to have the boundaries extended," Mostyn told BBC Radio Solent. "Everyone recognises that, with clubs coming into the Championship with a first-season £23m parachute payment, something has to be done." Mostyn recently criticised the Financial Fair Play rules for being implemented before the parachute payments deal. "The current limitations were decided by a group of people who are no longer playing in the Championship," he said. "There are only about 40% of the clubs playing in the Championship that had anything to do with those and it was prior to the huge parachute payments deal." However, all four proposals - three of them related to boosting the level of losses and owner investment permitted - were defeated in a vote by the 24 clubs. The fourth proposal was for the rules to be imposed based on 'real time' financial figures instead of the existing retrospective system but it, too, failed to attract the necessary 75% backing. Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said other alternatives would now be examined. The Premier League has previously told the Football League it would have no involvement in retrieving the money, considering the matter to be none of its business. Therefore, it would not withhold any television cash from the Hoops, forcing the Football League to actively pursue QPR for any financial penalty. Clayden said: "It creates an added level of complexity as to whether or not one association or organisation can fine one member of another." The situation is further complicated by the fact that any fine, instead of being distributed amongst other Football League clubs, would go to charity. The Football League believe its regulations are robust enough for them to be enforced but, given the potential sums involved, the chance of them being challenged in the courts is high. Derby will no doubt feel aggrieved if QPR escape any kind of sanction - the Rams have operated within the regulations in the last financial year, posting a loss of £7.1m. They - and others - would argue that the Financial Fair Play regulations are worthless if they have no teeth. ++++++++++ Summarize: Queens Park Rangers may have given the Football League a multi-million pound headache by winning promotion back to the Premier League. Problem: A statement on the singer's website said Ms Austin was unable to perform at Forbidden City Concert Hall on Friday night "due to health problems". While the cause of her illness has not been confirmed, it comes at a time of growing concern over air pollution levels in the Chinese capital. The city has recently announced measures to combat worsening pollution. They include taking half of the city's four million private cars off the roads on days when there are serious levels of pollution. The system will be based on a vehicle's licence plate - odd numbers will be allowed on the roads one day, even numbers the next. A statement on Patti Austin's website said: "She was taken in an emergency to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital this morning where she has been treated for a severe asthma attack in combination with respiratory infection. "Ms Austin is currently resting in her hotel. Her current breathing condition does not physically enable her to perform tonight. "Ms Austin is extremely disappointed about this situation since she was very much looking forward to performing." The new anti-pollution system will give out four different degrees of air pollution warning - blue, yellow, amber and red. On days when an amber warning is given, factories will stop production and work will be halted on construction and building sites. Restaurants that offer open-air barbecues will be ordered to close temporarily, and fireworks will be banned throughout the city. When a red warning is issued, the new car restriction measure will be implemented. Schools and kindergartens will also be closed. The measure to restrict the number of private cars from using the road is proving to be controversial. Critics have aired their concern that those who can afford to buy two or more cars will able to drive any day when the restriction is in force. Beijing has almost 21 million permanent residents, according to official estimates. What was that article about? A:

Summarize this article in one sentence. The University of Calgary transferred 20,000 Canadian dollars-worth of bitcoins ($15,780; £10,840) after it was unable to unwind damage caused by a type of attack known as ransomware. The malware caused emails and other files to become encrypted. One expert warned that the payout would encourage further blackmail attempts. The move comes the same week Intel warned that ransomware infections were spreading at "an alarming rate". More than 120 separate strains exist, many of which are frequently updated, making it difficult for security experts to offer a solution. The University of Calgary told a local newspaper that more than 100 of its computers had been affected since it was attacked last month. "The university is now in the process of assessing and evaluating the decryption keys," said the university's vice president Linda Dalgetty. "The actual process of decryption is time-consuming and must be performed with care. "It is important to note that decryption keys do not automatically restore all systems or guarantee the recovery of all data." She added that the local police force was investigating the matter. The university follows other high-profile bodies to have met cybercriminals' demands in recent weeks. In February, the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center paid $17,000 to restore access to its system. At the end of the same month, Melrose Police Department in Massachusetts paid $450 after it fell victim to a similar attack. "It's very tempting for organisations to pay out the ransom because that might be the only way they can get their data back, but that makes it worse for everyone else because it encourages more people to set up schemes like the one used in the Calgary case," commented Dr Steven Murdoch from University College London. "It would be better if nobody ever paid, although that's unrealistic to expect. "What's making matters worse is a new trend. "The hackers are threatening to publicly publish information they found on your computers if you refuse to pay, which acts as a double incentive to comply." The University of Calgary has said there was no indication that "any personal or other university data was released to the public".

Summarize: A lack of nurses, nuclear safety engineers and airworthiness certifiers are among those highlighted in a report by the Commons Defence Committee. Financial incentives should be offered to retain current staff, it argued. Ministers said the restructuring of the armed forces had led to "temporary shortages" in some areas but front-line operations were being protected. The cross-party committee said the number of "pinch-point trades" - specialist jobs where there are insufficient personnel to meet operational requirements - had risen from 19 to 26 in the Army and 11 to 15 in the Royal Navy between 2011-12 and 2012-13 - although there was only one in the RAF. According to the Ministry of Defence's 2012-13 report, jobs where there is a 40% shortfall of staff include: There are shortages at nearly all levels of the Intelligence Corps, from the rank of private to major, while there are also shortfalls of bomb disposal operators, dog handlers, veterinary officers, interrogators and qualified engineers. The committee said it was particularly worried about shortages of medical specialists available to be deployed in field operations. While it noted that there was also a general shortage of such qualified staff in the NHS, it found they were particularly hard to replace in the armed forces because of their technical experience and qualifications. While issues of manpower and recruitment were delegated to the three services, it said the Ministry of Defence could assist by providing additional funds to retain or recruit in key personnel, such as nuclear technicians. "The Ministry of Defence should support the services in addressing shortages in pinch point trades - key shortages which leave the armed forces vulnerable now and in the future," it said. James Arbuthnot, the Conservative MP who chairs the committee, said he was worried "about how seriously these shortages really are taken" by officials. Substantial cuts to the regular armed forces, which will eventually reduce total army personnel from 102,000 to about 82,000 while aiming to increase the number of reservists from 19,000 to 30,000, have proved controversial. Earlier this week, the Army launched a £3m promotional campaign in an effort to recruit new regulars and reservists. A poll commissioned by the Army to mark the campaign's launch suggested that 23% of serving personnel were not satisfied with their current career. In their report, the MPs raised concerns about the number of military personnel choosing to leave voluntarily, which is above the long-term average at 4.1% for officers and 5.8% for other ranks. They suggested that repeated tours of duty without breaks may be "exacerbating" problems with morale. It said figures in the MoD's annual report showed the so-called "harmony guidelines" - the recommended maximum amount of time spent away from home - had been breached 5.1% of the time in the Army in 2012-3 and 3.7% in the RAF. The figure was much lower, at 0.6%, for the Royal Navy. The MPs said such breaches were "unsatisfactory" and the government should set out a plan to ensure they did not happen at all in future. Labour said the shortfall in key posts was "worrying" and urged Defence Secretary Philip Hammond to act on the report's recommendations. "They are vital roles needed to support our armed forces and keep Britain safe and secure," said shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker. The Ministry of Defence said it was confident that the UK had the "right personnel with the right skill sets to satisfy all strategic defence priorities". "The armed forces are going through significant restructuring resulting in a small number of temporary shortages in some roles," a spokesman said. "However, there are safeguards in place to ensure front-line operational capability is not affected."
Shortages of specialist personnel in the Army and Royal Navy are leaving the military "vulnerable", MPs have warned.

The context was that Tim Farron gave the Liberal Democrats that description because he said it was so resilient it could survive a nuclear holocaust. There was no complete wipe out in 2015 (Mark Williams' survival in Ceredigion was proof of that) but nevertheless to go from 57 to eight MPs had an Armageddon feel to it. The party feels the road back lies in the pledge to hold another EU vote, or a "ratification" referendum. It is a strategy based on targeting the 48% who voted Remain. The hope for the Lib Dems is that the EU referendum will have the same impact on British politics as the Scottish independence referendum had on Scottish politics. In other words, how people voted in the Scottish referendum carried over into the general election, leading to the dominance of the SNP. The question is whether the 48% of Remainers will continue with the resistance to Brexit by supporting the Lib Dems, or accept the result and back the other parties who are prepared to get on with the job of taking the UK out of the EU? A central part of the strategy is the view that strong opposition makes for good government. To make the point, Mark Williams quoted the former Tory minister Francis Pym who said that big majorities lead to poor government, in reference to the huge leads enjoyed by Margaret Thatcher. To persuade voters, they need to be seen to be doing this for the right reasons in the eyes of the public. If people feel this policy is simply based on them wanting to change the result because they disagreed with it then the rest of the campaign, and the result, could be hard for the Lib Dems. But if they can convince voters that the Brexit destination will never be a good place to be heading for then there could be many willing to back them. What is a summary of this text?
It is not often that I accuse someone of being a cockroach during a Wales Today interview, but Mark Williams took it in typically good humour.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Southend have signed defender Rob Kiernan from Scottish Premiership side Rangers for an undisclosed fee." Article: A: The 26-year-old centre-back, who had a spell on loan at Roots Hall in 2013, has signed a three year-contract with an option for a fourth season. "It's been a little bit of a long process but it's good to get it over the line and I'm looking forward to getting going," said Kiernan. "I'm glad it's all sorted and I can get ready for the season ahead." Kiernan played 13 games for Southend in the 2013-14 season, but his loan was cut short because of injuries at parent club Wigan Athletic. The defender, who had a loan spell at Birmingham City in 2015, played 76 games for Rangers over two years.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Twelve men have been charged in connection with a multi-million pound raid at a cider-making family's luxury home in Somerset." Article: A: Esmond and Susie Bulmer's home in Bruton was targeted in 2009 and the couple's housekeeper was allegedly tied to a banister. A total of 15 paintings worth £1.7m, and £1m of antique jewellery were stolen. The men are due to appear at Bristol magistrates on 24 August. The paintings included the famous Endymion by 19th century English painter George Frederic Watts, and Apple Blossom by early 20th century English artist Sir George Clausen. All the paintings have been recovered, except for Sir John Lavery's After Glow Taplow. The accused men are aged between 38 and 64 and from Dartford, Gloucester, London, Weybridge, Surrey, Birmingham, Solihull or have no fixed address. The charges relate to conspiracy to rob, conspiracy to defraud, assisting in the realisation of stolen property, and converting criminal property. The Bulmer family, originally based in Hereford, made their name in the cider industry. Mr Bulmer was Conservative MP for Kidderminster from 1974 to 1983. He also represented Wyre Forest from 1983 until the general election of 1987 when he stepped down. The art collector and his family made £84m when they sold their stake in the family cider business. Bulmers was founded in 1887 by Percy Bulmer, the 20-year-old son of a Hereford clergyman. Problem: Write an article based on this "A five-year £800m NHS out-sourcing contract has ended after eight months because the company running it said it was not "financially sustainable"." Article: A:
UnitingCare won a competitive tender to run the contract to supply older people and adult community healthcare in Cambridgeshire. It began on 1 April. Jo Rust from the union Unison said "it's evident that they can't make financial cost savings" promised. Patients have been told services will not be disrupted. Older people's services have been transferred back to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CPCCG). Dr Neil Modha, its chief clinical officer, said "both parties" had decided to end the contract because "the current arrangement is no longer financially sustainable". He added "we all wish to keep this model of integrated service delivery" and "services will continue and not be disrupted". UnitingCare declined to be interviewed. It is a consortium of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The company was selected to run the service by CPCCG after a lengthy procurement process and from a shortlist of three organisations. What does the £800m five-year contract cover? Ms Rust said she was "totally shocked" at news the contract had come to an end. "It cost over £1m to commission the UnitingCare partnership, to put it out to tender - and it was a waste of money," she said. "But it will be business as usual as these services are vital to the health economy of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, despite the uncertainty."

The band told fans there were "rumours" the show could be hit by a "next wave of terror attacks" like Paris. In a Facebook post they said they had worked with authorities and the local promoter to try to boost security. However they could not "ensure that our fans would be safe at the event" so had been forced to postpone the show. According to the International Business Times, the threat had been uncovered by the collective of online activists known as Anonymous. It said it had uncovered information that the Islamic State group was planning several attacks at venues in Paris, the Five Finger Death Punch show in Milan and the WWE Survivor Series event in Atlanta. "We did our best in a very short amount of time to work with the local promoter and authorities to ensure that security would be adequate," read Five Finger Death Punch's statement online. "Unfortunately, we did not receive confirmation in time to satisfy our requirements and to ensure that our fans would be safe at the event. Therefore, we were forced to postpone the show to a later date." The Las Vegas band had called off a show in Strasbourg the week before "out of respect for the victims and to observe France's three national days of mourning". More than 120 people were killed during the attacks in Paris, 89 of them at the Bataclan concert venue where rock band Eagles of Death Metal had been performing. In a separate Facebook post published at the time, Five Finger Death Punch told fans: "We followed the tragic events in Paris Friday night with great sadness. We are devastated at the loss of life and have friends and fans who were at the concert." They added: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and those affected by the terror attacks in France." What was that article about?

That is the weakest annual pace since June 2013, and marks a slight slowdown from July. Month on month, prices rose by 0.3% in August, compared with 0.4% the month before. The average house value in August was £195,279, according to the Nationwide house price index. One reason why house price inflation has apparently weakened is a rapid growth in prices at this time last year, the Nationwide said. "This month's data provides further evidence that annual house price growth may be stabilising close to the pace of earnings growth, which has historically been around 4%," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist. "Clearly house price trends are determined by a wide range of factors, but labour market developments are amongst the most important," he added. With demand for homes rising, new home construction needs to increase to keep houses affordable, he said. The figures from the Nationwide are in marked contrast to those from its rival, Halifax. Earlier this month the Halifax reported that house prices across the UK were rising at 7.9% a year, and it expected strong growth to continue. Halifax and Nationwide use different "mix adjustments" in their methodology. This involves a different emphasis on property sizes, to account for the fact that more small or large properties may be sold in any one month. What was that article about?
UK house prices rose by 3.2% year-on-year in August, according to the latest survey from mortgage provider Nationwide.

Write an article based on this summary: Wildlife volunteers say they were stunned to find an extremely rare albino turtle on a beach in Australia. +++++++ A: The tiny creature was one of 122 hatchlings from a green turtle nest on Castaways Beach on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The volunteers from Coolum and North Shore Coast Care were surveying the nest on Sunday when they found it. "It was very chipper and just took off into the water as happy as can be," said group president Linda Warneminde. "He wasn't sick, he was just white," she told the BBC. Ms Warneminde said typically only one in 1,000 green turtles survived to maturity and experts believed the chances for an albino turtle were even lower. But Peregian Beach resident Jayne Walton, who filmed the turtle, said she was very excited about the experience. "He was beautiful, you could see his flippers were pink, like the blood flowing," Ms Walton said. "I just hope he survives out in the big sea. He was very fast, very keen to get in the water." An expert quoted by the Australian Broadcasting Corp said that albino green turtle hatchlings occurred at a rate of one in many hundreds of thousands. Write an article based on this summary: A man and a woman who allegedly had an adulterous affair have been stoned and killed in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz. +++++++ A: The punishment happened in a crowded bazaar on Sunday in the Taliban-controlled village of Mullah Quli. The Taliban have not commented on the public killing, but it was confirmed by local officials and witnesses. This month the Taliban also reportedly flogged and killed a pregnant widow in western Baghdis province. A spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Waheed Omar, said if the incident was confirmed it would be condemned in the strongest terms by the government. "Even in Islam this [stoning] has to be done through proper judicial systems," he said. "The Taliban do not represent the country, they do not represent the Afghan judiciary, and they have no right to punish anyone even if it is for the right cause, which in this case it is not." Mohammad Ayub, governor of Imam Sahib district in Kunduz, told the BBC that the Taliban had brought the man and woman to the local bazaar, where they stoned them before a large crowd. Taliban infiltrate Afghan north The Taliban asked the villagers to attend the stoning through an announcement on loudspeakers in the mosque, two witnesses from Mullah Quli told the BBC. "There was a big crowd of people," one said. "The Taliban made the women wear black clothes and the men were made to stand. The Taliban started throwing stones. We were also asked to throw stones. After a while, the Taliban left. The woman was dead but the man was still alive. "Some Taliban then came and shot him three times. The Taliban warned villagers if anyone does anything un-Islamic, this will be their fate.'' According to news agency AFP, the woman was 23 years old and the man was 28. A local tribal elder told the BBC that the couple had eloped and that the woman had been engaged, while the man was already married. A jirga (tribal council) met and decided that the couple could come back to the village if the man paid compensation. "The man returned after he was assured that he wouldn't be harmed," said the elder. "The Taliban arrested them as soon as they came back.'' A Kunduz-based official with the Afghan intelligence agency, the NDS, confirmed the account, saying the Taliban wanted "to create a climate of fear." The BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul says Taliban and al-Qaeda militants have been tightening their grip in several parts of Kunduz province where the central government has little control. The Taliban operate a shadow government consisting of judges, tax collectors, district governors and commanders, in these areas, he adds. Until now, the strength of the Taliban in the northern part of Kunduz had not been realised, Amnesty International's Asia Pacific director Sam Zarifi told BBC World Service. The Taliban and other insurgent groups began systematically taking over Kunduz in early 2009, he said, reaching out in part to the large Pashtun population but also bringing in their own people. "Meanwhile, the German contingent, the military contingent that was up there, effectively had a non-confrontational stance and so the Taliban had the free reign of the place," Mr Zarifi said. He said the Taliban were seeking to create and exploit a power vacuum, and he urged the government and the ostensibly pro-government Council of Ulema (religious scholars) to take a stronger stance against extremism. "It's particularly worrying because the Council of Ulema just last week asked for stricter interpretation and implementation of Sharia laws, including physical punishment, so overall this is a very worrying development," the Amnesty International expert said. Write an article based on this summary: All images are copyrighted. +++++++ A: The first of two sections of a high-voltage subsea cable has been laid in the Moray Firth as part of the £1.1bn Caithness-Moray transmission project. A new ship purpose-built for the work, the NKT Victoria, laid the cable from Noss Head in Caithness to a midpoint in the firth. The vessel has sailed to Sweden to reload the remaining cable to be laid from Portgordon in Moray to the end of the previously-laid cable later this month. The cable will have capacity to carry up to 1,200MW of electricity generated by renewable energy projects in the north of Scotland to other parts of the country to power homes and businesses. Led by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the £1.1bn Caithness-Moray Project is to be completed next year. NKT Victoria, described by SSEN as "state-of-the-art", is being used for the first time. It has capacity to hold 10,000 tonnes of cable and has remotely-operated vehicles for checking the laying of the cable in a trench ploughed by another ship in March. In total, NKT Victoria will lay more than 70 miles (113km) of subsea cables.

A consultation on the plan for the Nant Helen opencast site has begun with trade unions and other parties. The company said the state of the coal industry meant "difficult decisions are inevitable". In October, Celtic Energy announced its decision to mothball its opencast coal site Selar, near Glynneath, for three years, resulting in 70 people losing their jobs. When that decision was taken, the company said it could not keep the site running along with Nant Helen and the expanded East Pit.

Q: Media playback is not supported on this device In a game of few chances at Anfield, the hosts were largely subdued by United's defensive organisation. "This is a point that stopped them winning three," said Mourinho. Klopp was not happy with his side, saying: "We tried to be too quick and lost patience with our passing." The result leaves Liverpool fourth in the Premier League on 17 points, with United three points adrift in seventh. Klopp felt his side "wasted a lot of energy" in the first half. He added: "The second half was better but with a little bit faster legs, we could have created more." Liverpool forced United goalkeeper David de Gea into two fine second-half stops, the Spaniard diving low to stop Emre Can and saving athletically from Philippe Coutinho. The visitors had just 35% of possession - their lowest in a Premier League match since Opta began recording the data in 2003-04. Asked about that statistic, Mourinho told Sky Sports: "That was the game that we played - we don't control the game by having the ball all the time." He later added: "Two shots on target with 65% of possession. You have to be critical of Liverpool. It is their problem, not our problem." Media playback is not supported on this device Mourinho has adopted a defensive approach at Anfield before - notably for a 2-0 win with Chelsea in April 2014 that derailed the Reds' title challenge. This time his side largely suffocated a team that had won their previous four league games. Describing the draw as a "positive result", the Portuguese said: "The game was difficult for both teams but for longer periods it was more difficult for them than us. "We controlled the game not just tactically but the emotion of the game. That was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way. "The reaction from their crowd was permanent disappointment. People expected us to come here and be really in trouble, which we were not." United are five points behind leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, and Mourinho feels this will be a significant point as the season progresses. "Other candidates for the title have easier fixtures at the moment and it is important to keep close to them," he said. "Our moment to win four or five matches in a row will come and we'll be there." Midfielder Ander Herrera, who was named man of the match, said: "We did a fantastic job and can be very proud. Every player gave everything and this is the way we have to play big matches." Klopp said he felt "mixed emotions" after a match he described as "very confusing in many situations" and "too hectic". He told Sky Sports: "I don't think we played as well as we could have - it's our fault. "When you defend like Man Utd, that's their style. That's absolutely OK. Players need to be cool and pass the ball to the next player. We were playing risky passes in the first half. "That's not the way we want to play. We should expect to play better: more patience, more composure." Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson said: "We defended well but I think we could be a little more decisive in the final third." United got the point they came for. You have got to give them credit because most teams that go to Anfield just get undone. Usually it is an ordeal but it looked comfortable for them. It was a really good performance by United - clever in fact. Liverpool like to win the ball off you high up the pitch, but United denied them that opportunity because they hit it long from every goal-kick instead of trying to play out from the back. How often do you see David de Gea doing that? United were also using delaying tactics from the off to stop Liverpool finding any of their rhythm. Overall, Jose Mourinho set his side out to frustrate them and they have done exactly that. United's best player? Ander Herrera, because of his work-rate, the number of times he won the ball, and how close he stuck to Philippe Coutinho throughout. Herrera wasn't even looked on as a starter for United at the beginning of season but is now nailed on in midfield because of the vital job he does for the team. Liverpool were poor but they looked better when Adam Lallana came on and Roberto Firmino moved from the left to centre-forward. Firmino was making some great runs to stretch United's defence and was far more of a threat than Daniel Sturridge, but it is clear how important Lallana is to Liverpool - he is very clever on the ball.

Q: Arthur Wharton came to the UK from Ghana in the 1880s and was signed by Darlington at the age of 19. He went on to play as a goalkeeper for Preston North End, Rotherham Town, Sheffield United and Stockport County. The 16ft (4.8 metre) bronze statue is due to be unveiled at the centre in Staffordshire in May. Wharton moved to Darlington with the intention of training as a Methodist missionary but opted instead to become a full-time athlete. In 1886 he became the Amateur Athletics Association's national 100-yard running champion, before turning to football. He died in a workhouse sanatorium in 1930. The statue, by acclaimed sculptor Vivien Mallock and commissioned by the Darlington-based Arthur Wharton Foundation, was originally intended to be erected in his home town. But foundation founder Shaun Campbell said the opportunity to have it at the National Football Centre was a testament to Wharton's importance in the sport. "We are hugely honoured and privileged to have received such fantastic support from the FA throughout our campaign helping raise awareness of Arthur's achievements," Mr Campbell said. FA chairman Greg Dyke said: "We're delighted not only to give Arthur a permanent home but to tell his story. Everyone who visits our wonderful facility will learn of his significance historically, and his remarkable achievements." The statue will be flanked by education materials, including a film and exhibition on the significance of Wharton historically and in 2014. A second statue is due to be put up at the New York Stadium, home of Rotherham United, later in the year and a further sculpture is also planned for Darlington.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Thoresby Colliery closes on Friday, marking the end of a 750-year history of mining in Nottinghamshire." Article: A: As the last coal is brought to the surface at Thoresby it leaves just one deep coal mine in England, Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire - which is itself expected to close by the end of the year. At one time Nottinghamshire, with 42 collieries and 40,000 miners, was one of the most successful coalfields in Europe. But as the industry comes to an end in the county, what memories do former miners have of their time in the pits - and what effects have closures had on former mining communities? Former mining surveyor turned author, Robert Bradley, said Thoresby at one time produced more coal than any other colliery in England with profits of £50m a year. "It produced 100,000 tonnes in a week - some of the smaller mines did that in a year," he said. "There was a good atmosphere working in the mine and everyone thought they had a global job for life." Many of Nottinghamshire's towns and villages were built around the collieries and for the mining families. Mr Bradley, 79, said the closures of mines at Ollerton in 1994 and Bilsthorpe in 1997 "devastated" these communities. "Most people lived where they worked," he said. "It was expected back then the sons of miners would all go into mining and the girls would be sent to factories and shops. "But once they closed, there were no jobs so they had to travel out of the village to find work." He said British Coal once paid miners "an obscene" amount, which eventually cost the company a lot of money. Robert McQueen was one of thousands of Scottish men who moved to Nottinghamshire to work in the pits. "Places were shutting down left right and centre in Scotland so it was great coming down," said the 55-year-old. "There were lots of Geordies, Scots and eastern Europeans who came over just after the war. "Nottinghamshire at one point had the top five collieries in the country. "Production was going through the roof and we were making lots of money. "When you met lads from other places people couldn't believe how much we were on. We were getting £40-50 bonuses and they were getting 50p to £1.70." But the situation soon changed as money ran out and jobs were threatened with pit closures. March 1984 saw the biggest industrial action in British coal history with miners going on strike over pay disputes and pit closures. The choice of whether to join a picket line or continue working divided workforces, caused arguments within families and began fights across the country. Arguments over the tactics of the NUM (National Union of Mineworkers) also saw the formation of a second union for workers - the UDM (Union of Democratic Mineworkers). In some cases men who chose to continue working were given police escorts to the pits. As the situation became worse, many miners refusing to work found themselves struggling financially and kitchens were set up by families to provide food for those who could not afford it. The strike ended a year later after the National Coal Board offered pay incentives to workers and NUM members voted to return to work. Mr McQueen worked in the county's pits for 35 years and was made redundant from Thoresby last year. "You just knew one day your number was going to be up and there was not going to be anywhere to transfer to. "There is a tinge of sadness and I miss the camaraderie." Local historian Dr David Amos said the industry had been in decline for the past 50 years. "Mining played a significant part in the industrial revolution," he said. "It built the towns, economy and communities in Nottinghamshire from the 19th Century to the 1990s but the miners' strike probably accelerated the demise of the industry. "It is the end of a significant chapter in the industrial revolution in this county and soon the end of coal in Britain as a whole." Like many, Dr Amos was the last of generations of miners in his family to work in the pits. Tony Kirby, who joined the industry in 1985 following the major strikes, will be one of the last workers to leave Thoresby and said it would be particularly poignant for him. "Mining has been in the family since the 1860s so I wanted to follow my granddad, uncles and brother to carry on the tradition," the 51-year-old said. "When we were growing up there used to be four or five thousand miners living in Eastwood and we used to have parties for families and trips to the seaside. "I had hoped my sons would follow me down the pits but it's sad they'll never work in mining." Several projects have been started aiming to preserve the heritage in Nottinghamshire mining towns and to educate people on the impact of coal mining on the county. The original headstocks at Clipstone Colliery, which were the tallest in Europe when built, are being regenerated and turned into an attraction in the hope of keeping the history alive. And statues and mini museums are being planned at other former colliery sites. And if the country's last remaining deep coal mine - at Kellingley - does indeed end production in December, it will mark an end to British coal mining as a whole. Problem: Write an article based on this "Homes have been evacuated and trains have been disrupted due to a security alert in Lurgan, County Armagh." Article: A: It follows the discovery of a suspicious object in Victoria Street. Ch Supt Pauline Shields said: "The alert began after a call was received suggesting a device may have been left in the area. "Officers are conducting a thorough search to ensure the safety of the public and investigations into an item located earlier are ongoing." She added: "As this alert continues, we are thankful for the cooperation and support of local people, a number of whom have had to leave their homes." Officers have warned residents not to touch anything suspicious. The road has been closed to traffic and a police helicopter has been used in the security operation. Translink said the 15:20 BST train service between Dublin and Belfast train will terminate at Portadown as a result of the alert. Affected passengers will be taken to Belfast by bus. Upper Bann MLA John O'Dowd, from Sinn Féin, condemned those responsible, saying they had "brought nothing but disruption to the local community". "Those behind this alert are not representative of the people of Lurgan and should stop these pointless actions immediately," he added. Problem: Write an article based on this "A South African anti-apartheid veteran has called on President Jacob Zuma to resign following a scandal over improper spending at his private home." Article: A:
Ahmed Kathrada, who was jailed alongside Nelson Mandela, said that Mr Zuma's resignation would end a "crisis of confidence" in the government. Mr Zuma said on Friday he would repay the money but would remain in his post. He has faced widespread calls for his resignation from South Africa's opposition. South Africa's highest court ruled that Mr Zuma had failed to uphold the constitution by ignoring instructions to repay some of the $16m in state funds spent on renovations at his private residence. In a televised address on Friday, Mr Zuma made no reference to the calls for his resignation. Can Zuma survive after apology? The leadership of Mr Zuma's party, the African National Congress, said it was united behind its leader, but the intervention of 86-year-old Mr Kathrada, a party veteran, may carry weight. Along with Mr Mandela, Mr Kathrada was among eight ANC activists sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of trying to overthrow the apartheid government during the 1963-1964 Rivonia Trial. In an open letter published in South African media, Mr Kathrada said: "In the face of such persistently widespread criticism, condemnation and demand, is it asking too much to express the hope that you will choose the correct way that is gaining momentum, to consider stepping down? "I know that if I were in the president's shoes, I would step down with immediate effect." The scandal is arguably the biggest yet to hit Mr Zuma, who has fended off accusations of corruption and cronyism since before he took office in 2009. The public protector, an anti-corruption body, ruled in 2014 that $23m of public money had been improperly spent on Mr Zuma's rural home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province, and ordered him to reimburse part of the expense. South African papers are abuzz with reactions to President Jacob Zuma's apology for improper spending on his rural home, and speculation about what he will do next. The Johannesburg Star's Janet Smith says Mr Zuma must be observing events in Brazil , where there are growing calls for the resignation of President Dilma Rousseff over corruption charges. The Sowetan's report about Mr Zuma's apology is overshadowed by the ongoing saga involving the president and the Indian-born Gupta family, which has allegedly been allowed undue influence. The paper's front-page comment yesterday was headlined "It's official: he's a failed president" In the Mail and Guardian, Carien du Plessis foresees difficulties for the ruling ANC if Mr Zuma were to resign, saying: "In a party split down the middle in more or less equal factions... things are more likely to fall apart." Business Day's reports about the apology includes opposition Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane's description of it as an insult, and ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe's efforts to discourage calls for the president to step down. The president claimed he had acted "in good faith" and "never knowingly and deliberately set out to violate the constitution". "Any action that has been found not to be in keeping with the constitution happened because of a different approach and different legal advice," he said, before issuing an apology for the "frustration" caused. The case had been brought by two opposition parties, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). They have launched impeachment proceedings against Mr Zuma, but these are unlikely to be successful because of the ANC's large majority in parliament.

Summarize this article in one sentence. They say they are lacking the brains of people with disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In part, this shortage results from a lack of awareness that such conditions are due to changes in brain wiring. The researchers' aim is to develop new treatments for mental and neurological disorders. The human brain is as beautiful as it is complex. Its wiring changes and grows as we do. The organ is a physical embodiment of our behaviour and who we are. In recent years, researchers have made links between the shape of the brain and mental and neurological disorders. More than 3,000 brains are storied at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center at McLean Hospital just outside Boston. It is one of the largest brain banks in the world. Most of their specimens are from people with mental or neurological disorders. Samples are requested by scientists to find new treatments for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and a whole host of psychiatric disorders. But there is a problem. Scientists at McLean Hospital and at brain banks across the world do not have enough specimens for the research community. According Dr Kerry Ressler, who is the chief scientific officer at McLean hospital, new treatments for many mental and neurological diseases are within the grasp of the research community. However, he says it is the lack of brain tissue that is holding back their development. "We have the tools and the ability to do some great deep-level biology of the human brain now. "What we are lacking are the tissues from those with the disorders we need to really understand." One donor visiting the hospital, who wished to be known only as Caroline, told BBC News that she decided to donate her brain for medical research partly because her sister has schizophrenia. She hopes that her donation will help researchers find a cure – and she's urging others to do the same. “My parents were fine but why did my sister get schizophrenia? We are not sure where it came from. How are we going to find out if we don’t do the research on the brain, which is where the problem is." There is a shortage of brains from people with disorders that are incorrectly seen as psychological – rather than neurological in origin. These include depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Prof Sabina Berretta, the scientific director of the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Centre, said: "If people think that there are no changes in the brain of somebody that suffers from major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder then there is no reason for them to donate their brain for research because (they think that) there is nothing there to find. "This conception is radically wrong from a biological point of view."
Scientists are appealing for more people to donate their brains for research after they die.

Problem: The £6m development of Shakespeare's New Place marks the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has transformed the Stratford-upon-Avon world heritage site, which was demolished in 1759. The playwright purchased New Place in 1597 when it was the largest single dwelling in the town. Diana Owen, chief executive of Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, said: "We're delighted to be re-opening the most important, permanent Shakespeare anniversary project anywhere in the world. "Visitors can walk in his footsteps and experience a wonderful new imaginative garden on the site." New Place reopened to the public after Staffordshire University's Centre of Archaeology dug through the site in Chapel Street. They discovered a hearth, cold storage pit and even a brewery. The Bard lived at New Place for the last 19 years of his life. What was that article about? A: William Shakespeare's home for the last years of his life has been resurrected as a new landmark. Problem: Full-back Bolton, 22, leaves the Shaymen less than a week after winning the FA Trophy at Wembley, and is reunited with former boss Neil Aspin. The England C international call-up, who can play right or centre-back, spent two full seasons at the Shay. "I think he is good enough to play in the Football League," Aspin said. "Hopefully we can make that happen at Gateshead. He has all the right attributes. He is tall, he is mobile and he has room to develop further. And I feel he will do that." What was that article about? A: Gateshead have signed defender James Bolton on a three-year deal after his stint with FC Halifax Town finished at the end of the season. Problem: The project directors insist confidence remains high the deadline will be met. Plans are already under way for a series of events which will give the public access to the £1.4bn crossing before it opens to traffic. The crossing was ordered by ministers because of cable corrosion on the main suspension of the Forth Road Bridge. About 1,300 workers are now employed on the project which is scheduled to be completed by December 2016. Michael Martin, project director for the construction joint venture, said: "I believe we can get traffic over the bridge by the end of the year. It's not a guarantee as it will depend on the weather but I believe it is possible. "I believe I've got a team of people here who are capable of doing that and who are committed to achieving that if it is possible. "We programme optimistically and then we face the conditions that arrive. "When we simply can't do anything we have to accept it's not possible but we don't accept that willingly." David Climie, the project director for Transport Scotland, said: "We are on target for the end of 2016 to have traffic on the new crossing providing we get average weather."

Text: Called Arc Welder, the tool acts as a wrapper around Android apps so they can run on Windows, OSX and Linux machines. The software expands the places that Android apps can run and might make it easier for developers to get code working on different machines. But one developer said it was better to write apps that run "natively" rather than via separate software. Arc - the App Runtime for Chrome - was first released in late 2014 as a way for Android apps to run on machines running Google's Chrome operating system. The OS is used on many netbooks and other small machines made by Google and some of its hardware partners. Now Google has produced a new tool, called Arc Welder, which converts Android apps into versions that can be used with the Chrome browser, not just the OS. With Welder it has also added support for many Google Play services so when apps are converted they do not lose access to payment systems, maps and other functions they expect. In its developer documentation, Google said the underlying technology for Arc Welder meant converted apps should run almost as quickly as they did on a phone or tablet. With Arc Welder Google, it is seeking a way to help developers get their creations onto as many machines as possible, but one developer was not sure it would accomplish that aim. "The best way to make apps by far is to make them natively using the tools that they give us," said Sam Furr, director and co-founder of development studio The App Developers. He said that moving away from those well-known development systems can mean losing some behaviours, such as touch combinations, that people expect. He also wondered if a converted app running via a browser sitting in a separate operating system would be as fast as one developed natively. Running a phone app on a desktop would inevitably mean losing some functions, he said, because bigger computers lack some of the extras, such as accelerometers and GPS receivers, that are now standard on smartphones. Mr Furr said the ability to reach lots of different operating systems with just one app was potentially attractive. "When building an app you want to get it to as many people as possible but you have to ask how long it will take to get it on other platforms," he said. "There's no shortage of cross-platform frameworks and some of them are very good," he said, "but in our experience you do not get the same end product as you would when you build it natively." summary: Google has released a tool that lets Android apps run on any machine that can run its Chrome browser. input: Article: Lord Bichard, a former benefits chief, said "imaginative" ideas were needed to meet the cost of an ageing society. And although such a move might be controversial, it would stop older people being a "burden on the state". The peer is a member of a committee investigating demographic changes and their impact on public services. The panel was told that the transfer of wealth from young to old in the UK was the highest in Europe. Lord Bichard, a former head of the Benefits Agency and top civil servant at the Education Department, who is probably best known for chairing the 2004 inquiry into the Soham murders, said the debate on rising healthcare and pension costs needed to be broadened out. "Are there ways in which we could use incentives to encourage older people, if not to be in full time work, to be making a contribution?," he asked the rest of the committee. "It is quite possible, for example, to envisage a world where civil society is making a greater contribution to the care of the very old, and older people who are not very old could be making a useful contribution to civil society in that respect, if they were given some incentive or some recognition for doing so." The 65-year-old crossbench peer, who has taken on a number of roles including the vice presidency of the Local Government Association and the chairmanship of a national after-school film club since retiring from the civil service in 2001, suggested the government should use the pensions system to "incentivise" retired people. "We are now prepared to say to people who are not looking for work, if you don't look for work you don't get benefits, so if you are old and you are not contributing in some way or another maybe there is some penalty attached to that." He asked: "Are we using all of the incentives at our disposal to encourage older people not just to be a negative burden on the state but actually be a positive part of society?" Prof Martin Weale, a member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, said the proposal was "outside the normal range of what is discussed", but added it was an "interesting point". Asked about his suggestion after the meeting, Lord Bichard said it was a new idea but he intended to look into it further as part of his work for the committee. He acknowledged it would be difficult for politicians to sell to the public, but added: "So was tuition fees." Pensioners' rights campaigners reacted angrily to Lord Bichard's idea. Dot Gibson, general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, said: "This amounts to little more than national service for the over 60s and is absolutely outrageous. "Those who have paid their national insurance contributions for 30 or more years are entitled to receive their state pension and there should be no attempt to put further barriers in their way." Michelle Mitchell, director general of the charity Age UK, said: "Older people are a hugely positive part of society - over a third of people aged between 65 and 74 volunteer, a percentage that only drops slightly for the over 75s. "In addition, nearly a million older people provide unpaid care to family or friends saving the state millions of pounds." She added that almost a third of working age parents rely on grandparents to provide childcare - and more than 900,000 people are working past the traditional retirement age "either because they want to or because they can't afford to retire". But she added: "We must not forget that retirement is a vastly different experience depending on your personal circumstances. For example, 40% of all people over 65 have a serious longstanding illness and 1.7m of our pensioners live in poverty. "For many of those, retirement can be an unrelenting struggle of trying to survive on a low income in poor health." Ros Altmann, director general of Saga, said: "This is a very strange idea indeed. Those who have retired have already made huge contributions to our society and are already the largest group of charity and community volunteers." Prof James Sefton, of Imperial College, London, a former adviser to the Treasury, told the committee young people were effectively subsidising the older generation - and he could not understand why they were not protesting about it. "I think they should be angry. I think the deal they are getting is poor," he told the peers. "There are a lot of transfers going on within the system, from the young towards the old and I think awareness of it is very poor and I think eventually it will come out." He said research he was carrying out at Imperial College, with Dr David McCarthy, suggested "the current generation are very heavy contributors to the public purse, whereas previous generations have benefited from the public purse". This was mostly down to high house prices, high youth unemployment, rising public debt and the cost of education, added Prof Sefton, who is also a quantitative analyst at UBS bank. The older generation benefits from public funds, in the form of healthcare and pensions, but younger people have to rely more on "private transfers" of wealth, such as family money, to a far greater extent than in other European countries, he added. Update 26 October 2012: Lord Bichard has asked us to clarify that he was floating an idea at the committee rather than making a firm proposal. This report has been slightly amended to take account of that. Summarize. output:
Retired people could be encouraged to do community work such as caring for the "very old" or face losing some of their pension, a peer has suggested.

Dario Lezcano became the first player to score against Bayern in competitive football this season, slotting Mathew Leckie's pass under Manuel Neuer. But Robert Lewandowski equalised quickly with a chip, and Xabi Alonso drilled a second after half-time. Rafinha sealed the win when he drove in his first goal since 2013. Ancelotti is the first Bayern coach to start his reign with six straight wins since Otto Rehhagel in 1995. His team have won their first three Bundesliga matches, in addition to one game each in the German Cup and the Champions League - and they beat Borussia Dortmund to secure the German Super Cup. But this was arguably the most difficult of the matches that Ancelotti has faced at Bayern, with Neuer making two vital saves from Leckie and substitute Lukas Hinterseer missing a great second-half chance for the visitors before the win was finally ensured. This match between Bavarian rivals took place on the first day of Munich's Oktoberfest, a time of year when Bayern traditionally do well. Germany's defending champions had won 15 of their previous 18 Bundesliga matches played during the autumn beer festival - but they laboured here. Their preparations were not helped by a bout of gastroenteritis that struck Thomas Muller, Philipp Lahm and David Alaba in the days before the game. Ancelotti's side were vulnerable at times against opponents who, despite being happy to soak up pressure, were dangerous on the counter-attack. Ingolstadt, widely expected to be fighting relegation this season, broke effectively to score from their first attack when Paraguay international Lezcano, without a goal in his previous 15 matches for club and country, ran in behind Bayern's defence to slot Leckie's through pass underneath Neuer. Even as Bayern recovered, there were still difficult moments for them at the back, with Leckie involved in most of them. With the visitors trailing 2-1 early in the second half, the Australia forward ended a terrific run by wriggling past Alonso and hitting a rising drive from 12 yards, but Neuer thrust up a strong arm to turn the ball over. It was the best of four fine saves produced by the Germany goalkeeper, who was nonetheless relieved moments later to see Hinterseer roll the ball wide when played through by Lezcano. The consistently impressive Neuer's brilliance was no surprise, and neither was Lewandowski's appearance on the scoresheet. Bayern's main striker scored his fifth Bundesliga goal of the season - to go top of the domestic scoring charts - by dinking the ball over keeper Orjan Nyland from a tricky angle after Arturo Vidal had dispossessed Leckie. The identity of Bayern's other two scorers, though, was a shock. Midfielder Alonso scored just one Bundesliga goal last season, but now already has two for this campaign, driving in from just outside the penalty area after being teed up by Franck Ribery. Brazilian right-back Rafinha scores even less frequently, but his finish was every bit as clinical, with a low strike across the goalkeeper and into the far corner.

Article:More then 4,000 cannabis plants - enough to produce £2m of drugs each year - were seized in a raid on RGHQ Chilmark in February. Martin Fillery, 45, Plamen Nguyen, 27, and Ross Winter, 30, pleaded guilty at Salisbury Crown Court to conspiracy to produce class B drugs and abstracting electricity. They will be be sentenced on 11 August. The former Ministry of Defence bunker was built in the 1980s to protect local dignitaries and government officials in the event of a nuclear attack. Following a midnight raid Wiltshire Police made their biggest ever cannabis factory discovery. Det Insp Simon Pope said: "The bunker itself had approximately 20 rooms inside over two floors, and almost every single room had been converted for the wholesale production of cannabis. "In addition to the growing rooms, there were drying rooms, nurseries and living quarters for the growers - it was a sophisticated set up. "In all it took approximately 10 days to completely search and clear the site." Police said the gang had illegally abstracted approximately £250,000 worth of electricity for a setup "capable of producing a crop every six weeks". Fillery, of Pedwell Hill, Ashcott, Bridgwater; Nguyen, of Bartholomews Square, Horfield, Bristol; and Ross Winter, of Maytree Avenue, Bristol, also faced charges of conspiring to hold another person in slavery/servitude. But Wiltshire Police said these charges had been dropped due to a lack of evidence. A summary of the above article is?

Write an article based on this summary: Legislation restricting the sale of e-cigarettes in Scotland has been passed by MSPs at Holyrood. +++++++ A: The Scottish government's Health Bill bans under-18s from buying the devices and limits their advertising. The wide-ranging legislation also strengthens the ban on smoking tobacco in NHS hospital grounds. And it will create specific criminal offences for health and social care workers found to be deliberately mistreating those in their care. The legislation will also; Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said almost all of the experts who gave evidence to the parliament's health committee said the bill was necessary. Ms Watt believed the legislation was a "milestone" and would help people in Scotland live longer, healthier lives. She argued that while she did not want to stigmatise people who used e-cigarettes, the government was committed to preventing under-18s from accessing them. Lib Dem MSP Jim Hume said he supported more research into the health affects of e-cigarettes. He added that they should be available for those who wanted to stop smoking and not used to "encourage people to start". Tobacco smoking in the grounds of Scottish hospitals was banned by health boards at the request of the Scottish government last year but the new bill will now make it a statutory offence. Ms Watt insisted that move was "common sense". She added: "Hospitals are places people go to recover from illness, and they shouldn't have to walk through clouds of smoke." Write an article based on this summary: A bid to take whale conservation to the UN General Assembly failed at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) after criticism from hunting nations. +++++++ A: The motion said many species are not covered by IWC rules, and criticised Japan's scientific whaling programmes. The delegates' final act was to decide to hold meetings every two years. Meanwhile, the Danish and Greenland governments will "reflect" on whaling options for Greenland's Inuit after the IWC denied a bid to raise quotas. The options include setting quotas unilaterally without the IWC's explicit approval, or even withdrawing from the body. Either would be intensely controversial. Nothing caused more controversy here, though, than South Korea's announcement that it was preparing to allow some of its fishermen to hunt whales under regulations permitting a catch for scientific research. Japan has had such programmes in place since 1986, including an annual hunt in the Southern Ocean, which has been declared a whale sanctuary. That was one focus of the resolution, tabled by Monaco, that called on the UN General Assembly to debate whale conversation. Another was that whaling nations want the IWC's remit restricted to species that have been hunted, while others want it to work for the conservation of all cetaceans. The resolution invited governments to "consider these issues in collaboration with the UN General Assembly, with a view to contributing to the conservation efforts of the IWC". There was general acceptance that such a resolution should only go forward by consensus, and it was soon clear that consensus was absent. Norway's Einar Tallaksen said issues regarding cetaceans "are not a matter for the UN General Assembly, but for the competent fisheries organisations, including the IWC". As far as this meeting is concerned, the proposal is abandoned, though Monaco will work for it within the UN and is launching a "task force" of supportive nations. "Clearly the whaling countries want to contain any discussion of their whaling inside the IWC," commented Patrick Ramage, director of the global whale programme with the International Fund for Animal Welfare. "They don't want their diplomats at the United Nations to have to defend the indefensible." On the final day of the IWC's annual meeting, held this time in Panama City, delegations were also mulling the implications of Denmark's decision to leave without a whale-hunting quota for the Greenland Inuit. They came to Panama asking for increased quotas for humpback and fin whales, in addition to maintaining existing levels for minkes and bowheads. The bid became more controversial after environment groups reported finding whalemeat on sale in many supermarkets and restaurants, and, with the EU against the expansion, the bid failed. "We are going to go home and reflect, because this is a situation that needs to be handled with care," said Danish delegation head Ole Samsing. Experienced observers noted that in previous years, Denmark has been willing to compromise its requests in order to get something agreed. The EU would have supported a continuation of the existing quotas, but the Danes opted instead to leave with nothing. "There can be no doubt that Denmark knew when it put the proposal to a vote that it would fail," said Sue Fisher, on behalf of the Washington DC-based Animal Welfare Institute. "It could have walked out of here days ago with a perfectly adequate quota to meet the subsistence needs of indigenous communities in Greenland for the next six years, but it was prepared to lose everything for a handful of extra whales that, our recent surveys show, could well end up on the menu in tourist restaurants". Japan's deputy commissioner, Akima Umezawa, said the vote against Greenland had been the most disappointing aspect of a discouraging meeting. "Many pointed out the commercialism and the increased quota," he said. "But commercialism is accepted by the definition of [aboriginal] subsistence whaling, and the increased quota was accepted and endorsed by the IWC scientific committee." The issue is made more complex by the evolving relationship between Greenland, a hunting-based society of just over 50,000 people, and its former colonial ruler. Several years ago, Greenland formally asked the Danish government to put its whaling outside the IWC's aegis, but it is understood that it would now prefer to remain within the organisation. It is inconceivable that hunting will stop, so the question is how Greenland intends to go forward. Its own interpretation of rules on aboriginal subsistence whaling (ASW) is that countries are entitled to set their own quotas, provided they are consistent with IWC scientific advice. Other countries disagree. The US is also opening the door to unilateral action, with draft legislation introduced into Congress that would allow the government to set quotas if the IWC denied them. Overall, many observers said this had been the most functional IWC meeting for years, with votes taken in an orderly fashion and a relative absence of grandstanding. Six years ago, the pro- and anti-whaling camps were roughly equal in number. Now, the anti-whalers clearly have the upper hand, and it was noticeable that many of the Caribbean delegations were down to a single person. The decision to hold meetings every two years from now on is part of an ongoing process - largely driven by the UK and Australia - aimed at making the commission more functional and efficient. Delegates concluded by selecting their first ever female chair, St Lucia's Jeannine Compton-Antoine.

The domestic TV deal for the 2016-17 season will cost Sky and BT £5.1bn. The league has committed £1bn towards clubs outside of the top flight. However, Ms Crouch, the MP for Chatham and Aylesford, told BBC Radio Kent that only a third of that would go towards "real grassroots" football. She said: "We need to be aware that the Premier League is one of the richest leagues in the world and a lot of grassroots clubs - and I have been a member of one for the last eight years - struggle for a whole variety of reasons. "Funding is a massive issue, particularly around the infrastructure that supports the clubs. "The Premier League has recently just got £6bn worth of TV rights. That's just the UK rights, it doesn't include foreign countries buying the rights yet." Ever since the Premier League secured the biggest TV deal in football history, it has come under mounting pressure to share more of its riches. As a youth team coach, new sports minister, Tracey Crouch will understand better than most the need for more investment in football's decrepit grassroots facilities, especially at a time of increasing cuts to local authority budgets. Her call for more cash to be redistributed by the top clubs is a significant opening gambit in a fresh round of negotiations post-election, and suggests that tackling inequality in the sport will be a key priority for her. The Premier League makes the point that it already gives £56m each year to the grassroots, has recently increased the amount it gives away by 40%, and contributes huge amounts in tax revenue. Critics, however, insist it should be significantly more, given the £8bn the clubs are expected to earn from TV rights between 2016 and 2019." The sports minister added: "We can certainly persuade them to put more money into the grassroots and encourage them do to so through a variety of levers." Richard Scudamore, who is the chief executive of the Premier League, has defended the amount of money the league is contributing. Speaking to BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan, he said: "We are already committed to giving more. "We've already made an announcement which says at least £1bn of that UK television deal will be distributed for the development of football outside the Premier League. "There's lots of projects and schemes that are going on and we'll concentrate on a number of areas, particularly young people."

Q: The Mercedes driver's result ensured he lost only 10 championship points to team-mate and title rival Nico Rosberg and still leads him by nine points. Hamilton said: "I honestly didn't know what was going to happen in this race. "Congratulations to the guy next to me (Rosberg), this is great for Mercedes and still great for the championship." Hamilton always knew he would have a tough race in Spa because he faced grid penalties for using too many engine parts after reliability problems early in the season. Three changes of engine through the weekend, to ensure he was in the best position possible for the remaining races of the season, left him 21st on the grid, ahead only of McLaren's Fernando Alonso, who also had multiple engine changes. Hamilton was up to fifth by the time the race was red-flagged after nine laps following a huge accident to Renault's Kevin Magnussen. After the restart, he fought past Alonso and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg to take the final place on the podium behind Rosberg and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. "To come away with the points we have today, I'm extremely proud of everyone. "I was trying to keep my head down all weekend and focus on the long-run paces. It seemed to work and pay off. "I'd have had an even better summer if I went into it knowing I'd come out nine points ahead still after three engines. So I'm very grateful. This is the best result I could have hoped for." The next race is the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday 4 September. A: Lewis Hamilton said he was "proud" and "grateful" after recovering from the back row of the grid to finish third in the Belgian Grand Prix. Q: The Spaniard is suing former French government minister Roselyne Bachelot, who accused him of doping. In a letter to the ITF, he said people should not "speak without evidence". The 29-year-old added: "Please make all my information public, my biological passport and my complete history of anti-doping tests." On receipt of the letter, the ITF said the 14-time Grand Slam champion has never failed a drugs test and is free to make public his anti-doping records, to which he has full access. Nadal also asked the ITF to communicate all future occasions on which he is tested and the results, as soon as they are ready. Earlier this year, women's world number nine Maria Sharapova admitted to testing positive for meldonium at this year's Australian Open. The Russian is serving a provisional suspension and faces a lengthy ban. British number one Andy Murray told the Mail on Sunday this month he had been suspicious of some opponents who "don't seem to be getting tired". The issue of full disclosure of athletes' anti-doping results has proved controversial in other sports. British Athletics warned past and present athletes against allowing their blood data to be revealed, warning results could be "misinterpreted". However, several athletes - including distance runners Mo Farah and Jo Pavey - have said results should be made public. A: World number five Rafael Nadal has invited the International Tennis Federation to publish the results of all of his drugs tests. Q: The device was found in the driver's seat, National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson said, but it was not known whether it was a bomb. Mr Eliasson also said the suspect in custody was from Uzbekistan, 39, and known to security services. The hijacked lorry was driven into Ahlens department store in the capital. Four people were killed - 10 remain in hospital, including a child. Two are in intensive care. Eyewitnesses: Lorry was 'trying to hit people' Late on Saturday, police in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, found a "bomb-like device" in the Groenland district of the city and detained a man. The area was cordoned off and a controlled explosion carried out. Police say further investigations are continuing. The suspect, who was not named, was known to the security services. However, he had only been seen as a "marginal character", Mr Eliasson said. The head of Swedish security police, Anders Thornberg, said the suspect was "a person who has previously figured in our intelligence flow". It is not clear if the suspect was resident in Sweden. Mr Eliasson said police had reason to believe the suspect was the man behind the attack. But he added: "We still cannot rule out that more people are involved." On Saturday, there were reports of more police raids in Sweden. However, police told Reuters they had not made any further arrests. Police say it is too early to tell what the "technical device" in the lorry was - only that "it should not be there". "I cannot say at this stage that this is a bomb or some sort of flammable material," Mr Eliasson said. "We are doing a technical investigation." Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has called it a terrorist attack, with borders tightened at his request. "Terrorists want us to be afraid, want us to change our behaviour, want us to not live our lives normally, but that is what we're going to do." "Terrorists can never defeat Sweden, never," Mr Lofven said. "We're also determined to continue to be an open society; a democratic society." The mayor of Stockholm, Karin Wanngard, reiterated that Stockholm was open. "This is not an attack that's about the colour of your skin," she said. "We can show that with good integration, with an openness and a friendly behaviour, we are stronger together and it doesn't matter where you come from." Sweden's king, Carl XVI Gustaf, said: "We are all shaken by what has happened." He added that those "who want to help, are more than those who want to hurt us". "Unfortunately we've experienced many acts of violence before and we have coped and we will now too." There will be a minute's silence in Sweden at midday on Monday to commemorate the dead. Sweden has generally low crime rates, and has been ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. In 2010, two bombs detonated in central Stockholm, killing the attacker - an Iraq-born Swedish man - and injuring two others. In October 2015, a masked man who was believed to have far-right sympathies killed a teacher and pupil in a sword attack. In February, US President Donald Trump cited a non-existent terror attack in Sweden, and blamed it on the country's asylum policy - baffling many Swedes. Sweden has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees and migrants in recent years - more per capita than any other European country. However, there was a drop in numbers last year after the country introduced new border checks. Separately, Sweden is believed to have the highest number of Islamic State group fighters per capita in Europe. About 140 of the 300 who went to Syria and Iraq have since returned, leaving the authorities to grapple with how best to reintegrate them into society. A:
Swedish police have confirmed they discovered a suspect device inside the lorry which was driven into a Stockholm department store on Friday.

Summarize this article: The literary prize started accepting novels by US authors in 2014, having previously been restricted to the UK, the Commonwealth, Ireland and Zimbabwe. Barnes won in 2011 with The Sense of an Ending. "I don't agree with opening up the Booker for the Americans," he said. "I think that's straightforwardly daft. The Americans have got enough prizes of their own." Last month, Paul Beatty became the first American author to win the Booker, triumphing with his racial satire The Sellout. But Barnes told the Radio Times: "The idea of [the Booker] being Britain, Ireland, the old Commonwealth countries and new voices in English from around the world gave it a particular character and meant it could bring on writers. "If you also include Americans - and get a couple of heavy hitters - then the unknown Canadian novelist hasn't got a chance. "Which American prizes are open to Brits? In theory I think only the National Book Award is. I don't think any Brit has won a major American award for years." The £50,000 Booker Prize is now open to writers of any nationality writing in English and published in the UK. Every shortlist for the past three years has included two US authors. Fellow Australian Peter Carey, who has won the Booker twice, has previously criticised the decision to open up the award. "I find it unimaginable that the Pulitzer or the National Book award people in the United States would ever open their prizes to Brits and Australians," he has said. "They wouldn't. "There was, and there is, a real Commonwealth culture. It's different. America doesn't really feel to be a part of that... I suppose I'm not generally in love with the notion of global marketing."

Problem: Write an article based on this "Inter Milan have appointed former Ajax boss Frank de Boer as manager, after parting company with Roberto Mancini." Article: A: Mancini's position had been in doubt because of his reported misgivings over Inter's transfer business. "I'm very happy to be here, and I hope to see you soon," De Boer, 46, said in a message on Inter Milan's Twitter. Inter, who were bought by Chinese retail giant Suning in June, were beaten 6-1 by Tottenham in a pre-season match on Friday. They announced Mancini's departure "by mutual agreement" on Monday. De Boer has signed a three-year contract. The former Manchester City boss returned to Inter for a second spell as manager in 2014 but was unable to guide them back into the Champions League, finishing fourth last season. High-level discussions took place with the club's new Chinese owners in New York last month and, after a third pre-season defeat, they have parted with Mancini just two weeks before the new Serie A season. Former Netherlands international De Boer left Ajax earlier this summer and had been linked with the Southampton and Everton jobs. He led the Amsterdam club to four successive Dutch titles but lost out to PSV Eindhoven on the final day of last season. Problem: Write an article based on this "David Denton was on the field for less than 20 minutes against Japan on Saturday, but in searching for an explanation for some of the deadness in Scotland's performance the number eight mentioned the stifling humidity at the Toyota Stadium." Article: A: "A lot of the boys are saying that that was one of the hardest Test matches they've ever played in, just because of the humidity," said Denton following the 26-13 win. "It takes a lot out of you, we're just not used to playing in that. The last time we had that was when we played Samoa and Fiji." Those Tests were in the heat of Apia and Lautoka and brought Scotland two scratchy wins. And here was another. Denton wasn't using the temperature as an excuse rather than part of an explanation for a patchy-to-poor first Test against a drastically under-strength Japan. Had the locals had Michael Leitch, Ayumu Goromaru, Akihito Yamada and Male Sa'u in their ranks - heroes all from the 2015 World Cup win over South Africa - then Scotland might have paid for their lack of composure and cohesion, their inability to get dominance and their failure to put Japan away. Of course, Scotland can cite missing players of their own, but the hope here was that they wouldn't need to cite anything in mitigation, not absent talent or weather or time apart as a team. You hoped they would turn up, gel quickly and put Japan to the sword. They didn't - and there was a flatness in the aftermath as a result. One of the impressive things about Vern Cotter's team is their honesty in assessing themselves. Greig Laidlaw, who kicked like a dream, is uncompromising on that front. "We played in fits and starts," said the captain. "We need to look at ourselves. There are positives in a win, and it's good to win at this level, but I think we can tighten up. I was a little disappointed in the maul on a couple of occasions. We coughed the ball up a couple of times." Media playback is not supported on this device This was hardly at the cutting edge of world rugby on Saturday. It wasn't Wellington, where Wales were gallant in defeat against New Zealand, or Melbourne, where England were extraordinary in victory over Australia. It wasn't Johannesburg, either, where Ireland were ahead for much of it but got overtaken at the end of a monumental match against South Africa. The Test in Toyota City was low-key stuff in front of a half-empty stadium. Wishy-washy rugby. It required professionalism to get the job done, though, and Scotland had enough of it on the night. Their set-piece was impressive - lineout and scrum. They caused Japan unmerciful problems at the breakdown. Their defence was strong and their discipline important. That was Japan's undoing. Their penalty count was knocking on for double Scotland's and they had two sin-binnings that cost them 14 points. That was the game right there. When Hendrik Tui got done, Scotland punished Japan while he was away. When Rikiya Matsuda got done, Scotland punished them again. Their ruthlessness in those moments was key. In the context of the match, it was everything. "Scotland had three penalties that weren't penalties, that was clear and obvious up in the box," said Japan coach Mark Hammett of the first-half barrage of indiscipline. "But you have got to roll with those and even if you get some bad calls, you have to understand that you are going to be under the pump and you have to keep clean. That cost us. "Ultimately the yellow cards were fair yellow cards, but were made worse when you are under the microscope for earlier ones. For any team, you have got to get your discipline right." Scotland could have made it more comfortable but weren't slick enough or aware enough to take advantage. All those who spoke later said it would be different in Tokyo on Saturday, that they needed this game to get back up to the pitch of a Test match. Hammett said something similar. He also floated the notion of what Japan might be capable of if they could only keep their heads a bit better next time. "Take the yellow cards out of it and it's an even game," he said of the game at the Toyota Stadium. "Next Saturday will be intriguing." Scotland have a few injury worries. Alasdair Dickinson is out of the tour with a hamstring injury sustained in the opening minutes in Toyota City. Gordon Reid is on his way to Tokyo as replacement. The Scotland management are also monitoring Duncan Taylor (hamstring), John Barclay (knee) and WP Nel (knee). There should be a bigger crowd - the attendance on Saturday was shy of 25,000 - and both sides should bring more to the table. More is needed. Scotland won, but it wasn't convincing. In fairness to the tourists, nobody in their camp was claiming that it was. They set themselves higher standards these days. All of them knew they're capable of a whole lot more than this. Problem: Write an article based on this "Stuart Bingham beat Shaun Murphy 18-15 in a gripping final at the Crucible to win his first World Championship." Article: A:
Bingham began the final session with a 14-11 lead and won an epic 64-minute frame at 15-15 to close in on victory. The 38-year-old made a break of 65 to go 17-15 in front and clinched the title with a brilliant 88. Bingham, from Basildon, becomes the oldest snooker world champion since Welshman Ray Reardon won the title aged 45 in 1978. He collected a winner's cheque for £300,000 and will rise from 10th to second in the world rankings. "At one stage at 15-15 I thought I was going to do Shaun's [runner-up] speech," Bingham told BBC Sport. "It was a 64-minute frame to go 16-15 and that really calmed me down. "To beat Shaun in the final tops everything off. Twenty years as professional - blood, sweat and tears on the road. Qualifying in places like Prestatyn and Malvern. "So many family and friends have backed me. It is unbelievable." The all-English final pitted 2005 champion Murphy against outsider Bingham, who surprised favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan as well as in-form Judd Trump and former champion Graeme Dott in previous rounds. And Bingham, a 50-1 long-shot at the start of the tournament, held his nerve to become the oldest first-time winner at the Crucible. Thirty years on from Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis's iconic final - which was won on the last black - both Bingham and Murphy played their part in another memorable title decider. A breathtaking first day saw Murphy, from Nottingham, edge one frame ahead as the pair produced four centuries and 13 half-centuries. Bingham did the damage in the third session on Monday, winning six of the eight frames to go in front at 14-11 and missing the last red when on for a maximum 147 break in the 20th frame. He had the upper hand going into the final session but Murphy pulled a frame back, before Bingham's brilliant 102 under pressure put him three away from victory at 15-12. Murphy, nicknamed 'The Magician', made breaks of 75 and 64 to level the contest at 15-15, but a missed yellow then proved decisive in a tense 31st frame. Bingham crucially edged in front again after an hour-long battle and that spurred him on to make 55 in the next, before a missed red from Murphy opened up the table for his opponent to seal a famous victory. Murphy said: "It's been a great fortnight for me. It's not finished the way I wanted it to. "I came here well prepared and gave it my best as I always do and to come up against an inspired Stuart Bingham... sometimes your name is just on the trophy."

Article: Maj-Gen Williams, Sierra Leone's Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, was believed to have been travelling there for a ceremony at a military base. Police say it is unclear where he was kidnapped and taken or if he was travelling in convoy. Kidnapping for ransom is common in some parts of the country. Africa Live: More on this and other news stories The BBC's Martin Patience in Lagos says the abduction of a senior diplomat will be hugely embarrassing for the Nigerian government. It is understood there has been a demand for a ransom, but it is not yet known who the kidnappers are. Sierra Leone's information minister said the Nigerian authorities had assured him they were doing all they could to rescue Maj-Gen Williams. ++++++++++ Summarize: The former head of Sierra Leone's army, Major-General Nelson Williams, has been kidnapped in Nigeria, reportedly in the northern Kaduna state. Problem: Gareth Mattson fatally shot three birds with an air rifle in Withybush Woods in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, last October. Another was seriously injured. He had been due to stand trial at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court on Wednesday but changed his pleas. Two men, aged 19 and 24 and a 13-year-old boy also admitted killing the swans at hearings in March. The court heard Mattson had worked on a dairy farm for 14 years and took a group of men and the boy onto private land near the woodland to shoot rabbits on 19 October last year. It was on returning through the wood in the evening that the group started shooting at the pond, but Mattson claimed he initially did not see the swans because it was dark. Mattson pleaded guilty to being in possession of a loaded air rifle in a public place and to intentionally killing or injuring a wild bird. The court was told his actions had caused problems in his family and he was "deeply remorseful". He was sentenced to five months in prison, suspended for 12 months, and was told to pay £525 in costs. The swan is a protected species in the UK and it is a criminal offence to harm one. What was that article about? A: A 33-year-old man has been given a suspended jail sentence after he admitted killing a family of swans. It said the riff Led Zeppelin was accused of taking from Spirit's 1967 song Taurus "was not intrinsically similar" to Stairway's opening. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant said they were grateful to "put to rest questions about [its] origins... confirming what we have known for 45 years". The case was brought on behalf of Spirit's late guitarist, Randy Wolfe. During the trial, defence lawyers argued the chord progression in question was very common and had been in use for more than 300 years. The plaintiff's lawyers had argued Led Zeppelin became familiar with Spirit's song after the two bands played on the same bill at a club in Plant's hometown in Birmingham in 1970, a year before Stairway to Heaven was released in 1971. Spirit's bassist Mark Andes testified last week he met Plant at the show and played snooker with him afterward. Plant insisted he had no memory of that night, saying that in all the "hubbub and chaos" it would be hard to remember a one-off meeting 40 years ago. Plant partially attributed his lack of memory to a bad car crash on his way home from the club. Both he and his wife suffered head injuries in the accident, he told the court, after the windscreen of his Jaguar was left "buried" in his face. However the jury rejected the defence Page and Plant would not have been familiar with Taurus, saying they had "access" to it. The singer-songwriter also spoke at length about the creation of Stairway to Heaven. He reiterated the assertions made by his band mates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones that the song had begun at the country estate Headley Grange and not the Welsh cottage Bron-Yr-Aur, contradicting decades of Led Zeppelin mythology. Sum: Led Zeppelin did not copy the opening chords of Stairway to Heaven from the US band Spirit, a US jury has found. Question: Article:Contenders for The Royal Institute of British Architects' (RIBA) annual award include a monastery, two university libraries, an art gallery and a recycling facility. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Leeds, on 21 April. The steel-framed circular glass building was designed by Bond Bryan Architects for the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), which is a joint venture with aircraft-maker Boeing. Brynmor Jones Library was redesigned by Sheppard Robson to modernise and connect two contrasting buildings - one from the 1950s, which had an Art Deco influence, while the other was a 1960s design in the brutalist style. Doma Architects redeveloped a Victorian house, opening up new living areas for a family with young children. The highlight of the home is a "quirky and contemporary version" of the lean-to, which holds the staircase. Twelve architects and master-planners developed a honeycomb-style exterior made of aluminium and glass, which was inspired by the surrounding historic buildings, for the University of Sheffield's Faculty of Engineering. Make Architects, asked by insurance company Hiscox to create a "beautiful but functional building", created a design influenced by the city's ancient walls and the former hay and wool market that existed on the site until the 1920s. Humberston Park Special School, which serves pupils aged two to 19, was designed by Hodson Architects and is divided into "a pair of pavilions" with intricate folded roofs and glazed lanterns. The design of the library by architects ADP aimed to complement the fact it sits between two Grade II listed churches and the University of Leeds' Grade I listed Parkinson Building. Fuse Studios's brief by the college was to design a sustainable building providing plenty of natural light. Solar panels have been installed on the south-facing saw-tooth shaped roof. TSP Architects said they used sustainably sourced wood to create a 123m-long and 42m-high building, which is believed to be the largest timber frame structure of its type in Europe. Another commission by architects Hodson Architects. This time the firm designed a private detached white house on a large plot, which features a hall with two glazed walls and a raised seat/pergola outside. Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios intended to create a tranquil space for the nuns at the Abbey who had asked for the monastery to be remodelled for the 21st century, which was economic to run while being environmentally-friendly. Two architect firms, Simpson and Brown and Ushida Findlay Architects, together won a design competition in 2010 to remodel the entire gallery. They created a new "secret gallery" in the ceramic-clad roof-top space, as well as a new garden entrance and balcony to the west. Summarize the main points of that article. Answer:
Twelve buildings across Yorkshire have been shortlisted for a regional architecture award.

Text: The industry is demanding tougher action against cheap imports of Chinese steel, which it blames for low global steel prices. Earlier, UK, Belgian and French workers staged a protest in Brussels, where the meeting is to be held. The UK's steel industry lost about 4,000 jobs in October. Tees Valley estimates that another 834 jobs were lost in the supply chain of SSI steel as a result of its closure. "The US and other countries have already moved to prevent cheap Chinese imports distorting their markets and now the EU must do the same and, do so quickly," said Gareth Stace, director of the industry body UK Steel. "The UK must seize the moment and encourage a rapid response in Brussels if we're to prevent large scale problems for steel makers spreading in Britain and across the continent." UK Steel says the latest data will show that artificially low-priced reinforcing steel from China will account for more than half the UK market this year. The industry has also been hit by high electricity prices, as well as the price of global steel falling by half over the past year. Axel Eggert, director general of the European steel trade body Eurofur, called for a level playing field. "We do not want to block imports, but we would like to see fair trade, and if fair trade is not provided by our trade partners, the EU needs to act and it needs to act immediately. We hope that this will be one of the outcomes today," he said. That call was echoed by the Unite union. "Hiding behind the EU as an excuse to do nothing will not wash with the tens of thousands of workers whose livelihoods depend on steelmaking in the UK," said Unite national officer Harish Patel. "Nothing should be off the table, including a refusal to grant China market economy status while it fails to abide by EU rules on fair trade," he added. "[Business Secretary] Sajid Javid also needs to use the opportunity to learn from his counterparts in countries such as Germany and Italy and follow their lead in developing an industrial strategy with steel at its heart." A Business department spokesman said: "The secretary of state requested Monday's meeting of the Competitiveness Council to put the difficulties felt by the steel industry both at home in the UK and across the continent high up on the European agenda," summary: An emergency meeting to discuss the crisis in the steel industry is to be held by European economy ministers at the request of the UK. Text: But European Commissioner for regional policy Johannes Hahn says there should be fewer projects receiving aid money in future. He also said there will have to be "quantifiable results." Billions of pounds has been received over the last 10 years and qualifying for a third time has drawn criticism. "The Labour government have said themselves in the past that we shouldn't be receiving money in the future at this present point," said Monmouth AM Nick Ramsey. "Because that money should've been spent on creating business and creating enterprise in a way that we wouldn't need these sorts of handouts." In 1999 European funding was hailed as a once-in-a-generation chance for the poorest parts of Wales. But performance per head has fallen - gross domestic product (GDP) at 68.4 % of the European average in 2009, compared to 79% in 2005. The Welsh government says the figures which suggest the economy in poorer parts of Wales has fallen further behind the European average are misleading. It says GDP does not take into account people commuting to work in the cities. Opposition parties say billions in European aid has failed to work. And qualifying for another round of aid means the funding to date has not had the desired effect. Many have asked why they have not seen the improvements that were originally promised. But Mr Hahn said: "If all the investments which have been launched which have not yet been finished are finished, I think the positive impact will be there." And the Welsh government's Europe Minister Alun Davies is optimistic over the needs for even further funding. He said: "The sort of investments that many have seen in our communities up and down Wales are the investments that I hope will mean the qualification this time is the final qualification of European funding of this sort." summary:
Wales' poorest areas are set to qualify for a third round of European funding to help pull them out of relative poverty.

Text: Mayor Rahman and his party face claims of corrupt practices and exerting undue spiritual influence on voters. A file obtained by the BBC now provides a raft of detail on the allegations Mr Rahman faces in court next month. The mayor and his party Tower Hamlets First deny any wrongdoing. The evidence will be heard over several weeks at the High Court by Richard Mawrey QC. He has the power to order a recount or ban the mayor from public office for up to five years. Part of the Statement of Case, collated by the members of the public who brought the legal action, details an array of alleged misdeeds in the run-up to the election last May, when he was re-elected as mayor. It claims that in April last year, 30 council employees were asked to a meeting at a Bangladeshi restaurant. The document continues: "During the meeting both council managers and agents of the First Respondent [Mayor Rahman] instructed each of those attending to obtain 100 votes each for the First Respondent; and informed them that, if they did not do so, they may lose their jobs. "It was made clear that these votes should be obtained by illegal means, including through postal voting fraud." The petitioners allege that at another restaurant meeting in the period: "The First Respondent attended together with all or almost all the Tower Hamlets First candidates for the Council elections and some activists. "The First Respondent told all assembled activists that they must fill up to 250 postal vote application forms each. "Each of the persons at the meeting was then given a bundle of 250 postal vote application forms." A spokesman for Mr Rahman denied either meeting ever happened. The documents also claim Mr Rahman and his party tried to exert undue spiritual influence over voters, which is illegal. They state that a letter was published by a newspaper in Bengali with a circulation in the borough of about 20,000 entitled "Be United Against Injustice; Make Lutfur Rahman Victorious". This was signed by 101 leaders of the Islamic community in the borough, including chairmen of Mosques and the head teachers of religious schools. The petitioners allege the effect was to indicate that a vote against Mayor Rahman would be un-Islamic and sinful. They claim Mr Rahman corruptly attempted to influence these religious leaders by giving them grants of public money ranging from £8,000 to £25,000, alleging that a total of £278,000 was given out in this way. A spokesman for the mayor responded: "At no point did religious authority figures use spiritual coercion to procure votes. We believe such claims to be entirely spurious. "Unless we are now in the business of disenfranchising the Muslim community, local leaders have a right to canvass for their preferred candidate." There are also claims that during the count corrupt council officers deliberately miscounted votes. The documents state: "In one instance a bundle of ballot papers purportedly containing only votes cast for the First Respondent was assembled by corrupt members of the counting staff and actually consisted mostly of votes for other candidates, with only the top few ballot papers containing votes for the First Respondent." A spokesman for the mayor said: "All these allegations are characterised by an utter lack of substantial evidence. "The police and Electoral Commission have already investigated and found nothing of merit, as has been the case when similar allegations have been made in the past by politicians. "It is a shame that some elements of the local political establishment cannot cope with losing a free and fair election." Tower Hamlets Council has made no comment. Mr Rahman was previously Labour leader in the borough, before leaving during a split within the local party. He received 43.38% of first preference votes in May's election. Numerous functions of the council have since been taken over by government commissioners after a report found numerous financial failings and what Communities Secretary Eric Pickles called a "culture of cronyism" within the authority. summary: Employees of Tower Hamlets Council were warned they may lose their jobs if they did not each illegally obtain 100 votes for Mayor Lutfur Rahman, according to court documents seen by BBC London. Text: Resuming on 130-3 and needing to survive the final day in Dubai to earn a draw, the tourists were bowled out for 312 with only 6.3 overs remaining. Rashid was last out for 61, while Stuart Broad made 30 and Mark Wood 29 after Joe Root fell for 71. Yasir Shah took 4-87 and fellow spinner Zulfiqar Babar 3-53 for Pakistan, who lead 1-0 in the three-match series. The final Test in Sharjah starts on 1 November. England can take great credit for the character demonstrated in posting their highest fourth-innings total in Asia on a wearing pitch. But they will surely reflect on the first-innings collapse from 206-3 to 242 all out, which effectively cost them this match. Caught off an ugly slog for a second-ball duck in the first innings, Rashid - playing only his second Test - batted with immense composure during a 172-ball knock spanning four hours. His technique against the spinners was exemplary, combining positive footwork, a straight bat and wonderfully soft hands until he drove Yasir to short cover to spark wild Pakistan celebrations. From a seemingly perilous 193-7, he added 60 with Broad and 55 in 29.2 overs with Wood, the highest ninth-wicket stand in a fourth innings in Test history. Broad made a sprightly 30 before being cleaned up by an inswinging Wahab Riaz yorker, and Wood played with composure belying his position at number 10 as he survived 95 deliveries. After Wood edged left-armer Babar to Mohammad Hafeez at second slip not long into the final hour of play, England's hopes rested with Rashid and James Anderson. Pakistan feared their chance had gone when Anderson was dropped by Asad Shafiq at short leg, but a rare moment of ill-discipline from Rashid in the next over gifted Babar a straightforward catch. Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Test Match Special: "Do you blame him? Yes, it was a poor shot - but no, because he played splendidly in his second Test." Rashid's stubbornness typified England's approach on a tense final day. Although their hopes of salvaging an unlikely draw faded when Root edged Babar to slip less than an hour into play, Jonny Bairstow spent 86 balls making 22, only to be bowled playing across a Yasir googly. After Jos Buttler fell to wonderful leg-break from Yasir, Ben Stokes' 13 occupied 66 deliveries and spanned almost an hour and a half before Imran Khan located his outside edge. Rashid and Broad's response was admirable, but the consistent threat posed by Yasir eventually proved too much even for Rashid to repel. England can trace defeat in this match to Saturday's collapse, when they lose seven wickets for 36 runs and conceded a first-innings deficit of 136. "In these conditions you can't afford those two or three hours," said captain Alastair Cook. Former England captain Michael Vaughan told TMS: "This isn't the time to judge. The time to judge was that collapse on the third morning. That was the game." Ex-England spinner Phil Tufnell added: "This England side have got bags of character - they've just got a blunder in them. That massive third day was that blunder." It was telling that left-arm Pakistan pace bowler Wahab Riaz, who instigated that collapse en route to figures of 4-66, was named man of the match. On Sunday, England assistant coach Paul Farbrace claimed a limping Alastair Cook was "fine" despite the skipper's obvious discomfort when running between the wickets. Come Monday morning, England confirmed Cook was suffering from "right groin tightness", although they said they were "not concerned" about his availability for the final Test. Vaughan said: "This England set-up have been a breath of fresh air how we deal with things, but last night I didn't quite get it. "It was very obvious that Alastair Cook couldn't run - it was a real problem. So to come out yesterday and say it wasn't a problem was just silly." summary:
England lost the second Test against Pakistan by 178 runs despite a valiant rearguard led by Adil Rashid.
