The 22-year-old's deal was due to expire this summer, but he will now stay with the League Two club until the summer of 2019.
Garratt made his Alex debut on the final day of the 2012-13 season and has now played 155 games for the club.
He missed the final 12 weeks of last season with a fractured shin bone, but has been ever present in the league this term.
Garratt has played all of Crewe's 38 matches in the fourth tier this season, and made a total of 45 appearances.

Chisako Kakehi stands accused of killing three partners and attempting to murder a fourth.
Prosecutors say Ms Kakehi targeted the men for their money and poisoned them all with cyanide.
Her lawyers pleaded not guilty on her behalf, only for Ms Kakehi to seemingly admit killing her last partner.
Isao Kakehi, her fourth husband who she reportedly met via a match-making site, died on 28 December 2013, a month after they got married.
On Monday, she appeared to confirm she had killed him, saying she committed crime because her husband was not treating her well financially, and that she had obtained the cyanide from a business associate.
But on Wednesday she told the court: "I don't remember (what I said)", according to the Mainichi daily newspaper.
Lawyers for Ms Kakehi had previously said her testimony could not be trusted, because she has mild dementia and "barely remembers things that happened recently".
Investigations into the wealthy widow began after a post-mortem examination was carried out on her fourth husband, revealing traces of cyanide in his body.
Ms Kakehi is on trial for murdering him and two other boyfriends, all aged between 70 and 80, and the attempted murder and robbery of another boyfriend - who later died of cancer - between 2007 and 2013.
Ms Kakehi's three other husbands also all died, but she has not been charged in connection with their deaths.
Some media have dubbed Ms Kakehi a "black widow" - a term derived from the female spider that eats its partner after mating.
In April another Japanese woman, Kanae Kajima, who was convicted of killing three lovers, lost a final appeal against her death sentence at the Supreme Court.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Geert Wilders, the prominent Dutch politician cleared of inciting hatred against Muslims over his campaign against Islam in public life, is a deeply divisive figure."
Article:
A: On the one hand, he has certainly antagonised the Muslim world by calling for a ban on the Koran, which he likened to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
On the other, he was voted politician of the year in 2007 by the Dutch political press, partly because of his "well-timed one-liners".
His Freedom Party went from winning nine seats in the 2006 election to 24 in 2010, taking a bigger share of the vote than the Christian Democrats - the main party in the outgoing government. He did not formally join the new government coalition - but it relies on his party for support.
If his views on Islam are inflammatory, his other opinions sit in the Dutch libertarian tradition, and he argues that he is only "intolerant of the intolerant".
Instantly recognisable for his mane of platinum blond hair, which earned him the nickname "Mozart", he is a charismatic leader.
Mr Wilders made a high-profile foray into the world of global politics on 11 September 2010, when he marked the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with a visit to Ground Zero in New York.
In a speech to a rally against the construction of an Islamic centre
near the site, he contrasted the "forces of Jihad" with New York's tradition of tolerance, which he tied to his own country's.
His speech echoed themes from Fitna (which roughly translates from Arabic as "strife"), his hugely controversial film which juxtaposes the Koran with 9/11 and other atrocities.
No TV company in the Netherlands would broadcast the 17-minute film and some Dutch politicians tried to impose a ban before Mr Wilders posted it on the internet in March 2008.
Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen complained the furore over Fitna could endanger Dutch companies, soldiers and residents abroad.
Asked about the impact of his film, Mr Wilders said: "It's not the aim of the movie but people might be offended, I know that. So, what the hell? It's their problem, not my problem."
Attempts by the Freedom Party leader to carry his anti-Islam message abroad have brought him into conflict with other Western states.
The British Government tried to ban him from the UK on the grounds that he posed a threat to public security, though the move was later overruled by the courts.
Former colleagues describe Mr Wilders as a 24/7 politician with no time for other interests.
Born in the Limburg town of Venlo in 1963, he came from a Roman Catholic background but has since said he is not religious.
The son of a printing company director, he began a career in social and health insurance, and socio-economic policy brought him into politics, as a speech-writer for the Dutch Liberal Party (VVD).
He was elected as a city councillor in Utrecht in 1997 and MP the following year, but he disagreed with the party's support for Turkish entry into the EU and left it in 2002 to strike out on his own.
It is a measure of his meteoric rise through Dutch politics that since the 2010 election, the VVD has found itself relying on Mr Wilders to support its coalition with the Christian Democrats, though the Freedom Party remains outside the government.
Mr Wilders has prompted comparisons with Pim Fortuyn, the maverick political leader who famously described Islam as a backward religion.
Fortuyn was murdered by an animal rights activist in 2002, shortly before an election.
It was another high-profile murder, in November 2004, which altered Mr Wilders's career dramatically: the slaying of Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh by a radical Islamist.
Together with ethnic Somali politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Van Gogh had produced the short film Submission, which featured an actress in see-through clothing with Koranic script on her body.
Although he had no involvement in the film, Mr Wilders was given a permanent bodyguard, as was Ms Hirsi Ali, because of their outspoken views on Islam.
The Freedom Party's policies include banning the burka, the Muslim garment that covers most of the body, and banning Muslim Halal slaughter (as well as Jewish Kosher slaughter). He says such practices are incompatible with Dutch values.
Mr Wilders, whose wife is Hungarian, is adamant that he is not a racist.
He told the BBC his intention had only ever been "to have a debate about freedom of speech and the threat of Islamisation of our Western societies".
"It's not my intention to have anything at all to do with violence," he said.
"On the contrary, I despise violence - I just want a debate."
Unlike other figures on the fringes of European politics, he has never been accused of anti-Semitism. On the contrary, he is a strong admirer of Israel, visiting the country frequently.
"My allies are not Le Pen or Haider..." he told the Guardian newspaper
, referring to other European far-right leaders.
"We'll never join up with the Fascists and Mussolinis of Italy. I'm very afraid of being linked with the wrong, rightist, Fascist groups."
One of his criticisms of Muslims in the Netherlands is their conservative stance on sexual freedoms, such as gay rights.
"I believe we have been too tolerant of the intolerant," he told the BBC.
"We should learn to become intolerant of the intolerant."
Amsterdam judges moved in January 2009 to try Mr Wilders for inciting hatred and discrimination, arguing that "by attacking the symbols of the Muslim religion, he also insulted Muslim believers".
However, acquitting Mr Wilders of all charges on 23 June 2011, Judge Marcel van Oosten said: "The bench finds that your statements are acceptable within the context of the public debate."
Problem: Write an article based on this "Campaigners warn that a new energy efficiency scheme unveiled by the chancellor on Wednesday will result in fewer homes being insulated and hit fuel poverty targets."
Article:
A: | Mr Osborne said the scheme would help to cut an average of £30 a year from the bills of 24 million households.
The new scheme will run for five years from 2017.
But Citizens Advice has warned fewer poorer households will get help with insulating their homes.
Its chief executive Gillian Guy said, "Making homes more energy efficient is key to achieving long-term savings on energy bills so it is important the remaining budget is spent on those who really need it."
"Today's reduction will also make it difficult for government to tackle fuel poverty by 2030."
The scheme will replace the Energy Company Obligation known as ECO.
ECO requires suppliers to provide energy efficiency measures, including cavity wall and loft insulation, to households. Part of the scheme is targeted at vulnerable customers.
The scheme currently costs about £940m a year. Energy suppliers can pass this on to consumers. ECO adds about £36 to our annual energy bills.
By March this year, it had resulted in 1.47 million home efficiency measures being installed according to the energy regulator, Ofgem.
The government says that the new scheme will cost £640m. It will target 200,000 homes a year or one million during this parliament.
On Wednesday, Mr Osborne said homes that receive energy efficiency measures could cut up to £300 off annual energy bills, but campaigners say fewer homes will receive help.
Shadow energy secretary Lisa Nandy said the new scheme would leave millions of families with bigger bills.
"Its extraordinary that the chancellor has announced huge cuts to home insulation on the very same day we discovered that thousands of people died last winter because of the scandal of cold homes.
"By slashing investment in energy efficiency yet again millions of families will be left paying more for their energy bills and people will suffer."
Fuel Poverty Action, which describes itself as a grass roots campaign against high energy bills, said that the replacement of ECO announced in the Spending Review "amounts to a real terms cut for the vital funded insulation for fuel poor households".
In a statement, the organisation said: "The reality is that by refusing to take insulating homes seriously the government are locking the fuel poor into cold homes for decades to come because it is poorly insulated homes which mean millions of people have such high bills".
Campaigners say up to £2bn a year is needed to alleviate fuel poverty. The think-tank Policy Exchange has put the annual figure at £1.2bn.
Richard Howard, head of environment and energy at Policy Exchange, said that if the new scheme was focused solely on fuel poverty reduction, then this would represent an increase in spending on fuel poverty compared with the current ECO model, despite the lower budget.
"However, this still would meet only half of the estimated £1.2bn per annum required in order to achieve fuel poverty reduction targets," he said.
According to the Spending Review document, the £30 a year saving is the net impact of a series of measures.
In 2017, the new energy efficiency scheme will save households £32 a year.
Cuts to renewable subsidies (the Renewable Obligation and Feed-in Tariffs) will save another £2.
But plans to exempt Energy Intensive Users from the cost of renewables will add about £5 a year to domestic energy bills.
The net impact of these measures is an approximate saving of £30.

Problem: Article: A
freedom of information request
revealed that Stephen McCartney left the Information Commissioner's Office to join Google in November 2011.
The ICO had been criticised for its initial investigation - which has since reopened - into data privacy breaches.
The ICO said Mr McCartney "played no part" in the investigations.
In its own statement, Google said: "We don't comment on individual employees."
Rob Halfon, Tory MP for Harlow, told the Guardian that the news was a "shocking revelation".
"Now it seems they [the ICO] have had a cosy relationship with the company they have been investigating," he
told the newspaper
.
Mr McCartney was head of data protection promotion at the ICO where he had worked,
according to his LinkedIn profile
, since 2004.
During this time, the ICO conducted an investigation into allegations that Google had knowingly gathered personal data while collecting photographs as part of its Street View mapping project.
The ICO ruled that there had been a "significant breach" of the Data Protection Act, but opted not to fine the company, a decision heavily criticised by campaign group Privacy International and others.
Of the 2010 investigation, deputy information commissioner David Smith told the BBC: "We spent less time searching than others did. If we had searched for days and days we would have found more."
It later emerged that several Google staff had been told that data was being collected, prompting the ICO to reopen its inquiries.
After joining Google, Mr McCartney shared email correspondence with ICO officials discussing issues relating to the ongoing probe.
The documents, obtained by campaigner Peter John, showed Mr McCartney had outlined what he had said were "significant errors" in the media's reporting of the issue in an email dated 4 May 2012.
Christopher Graham, the information commissioner, responded to the email with "thanks for this, Stephen".
In a statement released today, the ICO said: "The published correspondence between Google and the ICO clearly shows that Stephen McCartney was treated like any other organisation's representative, with his emails receiving nothing more than a polite acknowledgement.
The spokesman added: "ICO employees continue to be legally bound by a confidentiality agreement after they leave the organisation, as part of the Data Protection Act.
"Stephen Eckersley, the ICO's Head of Enforcement, continues to investigate Google's actions with regard to the Street View project."
Mr Eckersley is currently considering a response to
Google's most recent letter
on the matter which was received by the ICO last month.

Problem: Article: The naked body of a woman found on an abandoned yacht is thought to be his wife, army spokesman Filemon Tan said.
In an audio message, the leader of the Abu Sayyaf group, which often kidnaps for ransom, said it was behind the raid, the military spokesman added.
The couple, Jurgen Kantner and Sabine Merz, were held captive for more than a month by Somali pirates in 2008.
Their passports were found on board the yacht, Mr Tan said.
The German authorities have yet to confirm the incident.
Abu Sayyaf is one of the smallest and most violent jihadist groups in the southern Philippines, known for its brutality, including beheadings.
In recent months it has been behind a series of attacks at sea between the Philippines and Malaysia, with tug boats and fishing vessels intercepted and their crews kidnapped and held for ransom.
The German couple's yacht, the Rockall, was found off Laparan Island in southern Sulu Province, Mr Tan said.
The woman on board had been shot dead - it was not clear why she was killed but she might have fought back, military officials said.
According to Abu Sayyaf, the couple were cruising off Malaysia's Sabah state when the militants intercepted them, the Filipino military said.
Mr Kantner, 70, and his wife were held for 52 days in 2008 by Somali pirates - and were released after a ransom was paid, the AFP news agency reports.
"My boat is my life and I don't want to lose her... I don't care about pirates and governments," Mr Kantner told AFP in 2009 when the couple returned to the self-declared republic of Somaliland to collect their yacht.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is due to hold talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak this week - and tackling Abu Sayyaf is expected to be on the agenda, the Reuters news agency reports.
Mr Duterte, who came to power in June, has vowed to eliminate the group - and the military has launched a major military offensive against the militants.
According to a confidential government report, seen by the Associated Press news agency, the insurgents have made at least $7.3m (£5.8m) from kidnappings for ransom in the first six months of this year.
Mr Tan appealed for people to adhere to the Philippine government's no-ransom policy.
"If we give in to ransom, a greater damage will be done. They can use the money to buy arms and to feed their bandits and that will fuel again the tendency for them to kidnap," AP quoted him as saying.

Problem: Article: Javier Pastore's volley gave Laurent Blanc's side a half-time lead, as Lille appealed for offside.
Djibril Sidibe equalised with a free-kick, before PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot was sent off.
Di Maria rolled in the winner as keeper Vincent Enyeama inexplicably charged 30 yards from goal to meet the winger.
Victory means that PSG remain on course for a clean sweep of domestic trophies, having won the Trophees des Champions and Ligue 1, and with the Coupe de France final against Marseille to come on 21 May.
Manager Blanc's future, though, remains uncertain because of his failure to take the club beyond the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, where they were defeated by Manchester City.
Di Maria shot weakly at Enyeama in the opening seconds of an entertaining final at the Stade de France, with Lille looking the more dangerous side after surviving a difficult opening 10 minutes.
Frederic Antonetti's team had won six successive games going into the final, but went behind to a controversial goal five minutes before before half-time.
Pastore lashed a shot at goal as Lille struggled to clear a corner, with PSG full-back Layvin Kurzawa standing in an offside position inside the six-yard box as the ball flew into the net.
The officials ruled that Kurzawa was not active because he did not move towards the ball, but Enyeama believed that he was effectively prevented from diving to save the shot because the PSG man was in the way.
Lille responded positively, though, with Sidibe directing a free-kick into the corner of the net four minutes into the second half after Adrien Rabiot had been booked for fouling Sofiane Boufal.
Rabiot picked up a second booking, and was dismissed, for a late challenge on Boufal with 20 minutes left.
Lille, though, gave away a soft goal four minutes later, as Adama Soumaoro's weak back header allowed Di Maria to sprint on to goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu's clearance, and the Argentian international nicked the ball past the onrushing Enyeama.
Soumaoro headed wide with a good chance to bring Lille level again, but PSG held on.

Text: The complainant said he had sex with Julie Wadsworth up to 15 times, including once when her husband Tony joined in.
Now in his 30s, he told police he felt compelled to report what happened after having child protection training.
The couple deny assaulting seven boys in the 1990s.
In video interviews shown to the jury, the alleged victim said he first met Mrs Wadsworth when he was 14 and she was sunbathing in a park in 1995.
He went on to have sexual activity with Mrs Wadsworth at her then home in Long Street, Atherstone, the court heard.
"The first time we had sex in her living room and basically from then until I was 18 I would say there are 10, 12 or 15 occasions I have seen her in the park and arranged to meet," he said.
The man told the interviewing officer he only discovered the couple's names while channel-hopping on the radio.
The man said: "It was probably after about a year or two.
"While it was going on I was listening to the radio one night and I recognised their voices...co-presenting an evening programme.
"You could play me a recording of 10 BBC presenters and I would be able to tell you straight away which one was them."
The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, who have worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM, deny five counts of outraging public decency between July 1992 and June 1996.
Mrs Wadsworth, 60, has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault, while her 69-year-old husband denies 10 counts of the same offence.
The man told officers: "I took part in (child protection) training and it brought up incidents that happened to me over four years from when I was 14 to when I was 18, when I engaged in sexual intercourse with a couple that I had met in the woods in Atherstone.
"I had never told a soul. I was sitting there having a conversation with myself, is this the day that I tell someone?"
summary: A man who claims he was indecently assaulted by two ex-BBC presenters as a child learnt their identities when he heard them on the radio, a court heard.

The White House booked the entire King David Hotel for the president and his entourage. The Israeli and Palestinian authorities cleared the main roads of Jerusalem and Bethlehem for the movements of his armed and mighty motorcade.
In recent times every American president also brings with him new hopes and fears for Israelis and Palestinians.
I sat in a huge auditorium at Cairo University in 2009, listening to President Barack Obama trying to re-set relations with Arabs and Muslims. In the process he alienated Israelis and its leaders never forgave him. His first act as president was to appoint a Middle East envoy whose peace mission, in the end, failed.
President George W Bush sponsored a peace conference in Annapolis in 2007, which for a while was hailed, in vain, as a major step towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
President Bill Clinton presided over the moment in 1993 at the White House when Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin exchanged a historic handshake and signed the Oslo peace agreement. At the end of his presidency in 2000, a make or break summit failed and was followed by years of violence and unrest.
Now President Trump, who sees himself as the world's best dealmaker, says he would like to pull off the world's toughest deal.
After the first leg of his trip in Saudi Arabia, President Trump seems to hope that Sunni Arab countries might be part of any solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
Without doubt the Saudis and the Israelis are talking, because Iran is their shared enemy. But the Saudis have had their own Arab peace plan on the table for the last 15 years, offering full peace and recognition of Israel in return for the establishment of a Palestinian state on the entire territory of the West Bank and Gaza with its capital in East Jerusalem.
That is something the current Israeli government is not prepared to concede.
In all the speeches President Trump made during the trip there was no detail about how he might succeed when so many others have failed. So signs and symbols and implicit messages are being pored over for meaning.
Mr Trump became the first serving American president to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest place where Jews can pray. That is being taken as support for Israel.
The wall is in East Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after it was captured 50 years ago and which most of the world outside Israel regards as occupied land.
Some will interpret the fact that the president declined the Israeli prime minister's request to accompany him as a sign of support for the status quo view that it is occupied territory.
In his final speech, at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, President Trump also identified himself, his administration and the United States four-square with Israel.
He repeated, to lots of applause, that he would never let Iran have nuclear weapons. Israel has a substantial and officially undeclared nuclear arsenal.
One pointer to a potential difference with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu came at the museum. In his opening remarks, Mr Netanyahu said that if the bomber in Manchester was Palestinian, and his victims were Israelis, the Palestinian Authority would be paying a stipend to his family.
He was referring to a Palestinian Martyrs' fund. It pays pensions to people it regards as victims of the occupation, including the families of individuals who have been killed attacking Israelis. There is also a fund to support Palestinians who have been imprisoned by Israel. The Palestinians have compared the payments to the salaries Israel pays to soldiers.
President Trump, in his speech, did not pick up the cue.
After making many warm remarks about Israel, which earned him standing ovations, he said he believed that the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, was serious about making peace.
Senior Israeli politicians and officials in the room disagree. Prime Minister Netanyahu said earlier this year that President Abbas lied to Donald Trump when they met in the White House.
That is an important disagreement. If President Trump's hopes ever become negotiations about substance he will find that there are many others. The two sides are far apart on the main issues, like the future of east Jerusalem, the borders of a Palestinian state and the fate of Palestinian refugees.
Mr Trump is right on one point. This is a conflict that badly needs settling. If that is not possible, there needs to be political progress. History shows that bloodshed tends to fill the void left by the absence of hope.
Sum: President Donald Trump brought with him to Jerusalem most of his top advisers, dozens of vehicles and his own helicopters.
Article: Trevor Bayliss' side go into the tournament, which starts on 1 June, as favourites in a group alongside Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh.
"The mindset of the players has changed," Moeen said, referring to the influence of captain Eoin Morgan.
"He wants us to play without fear and to hit the lights out."
Since exiting the 2015 World Cup at the group stages, Morgan has led the team to seven wins in nine.
They have defeated New Zealand, Pakistan (twice), Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies and most recently Ireland. They only lost to Australia and South Africa by the odd game in five.
Much of the credit is given to Morgan and his side's switch from a conservative to an ultra-attacking style of play - England have posted eight scores of 350-plus since 2015 having done so just twice in history before that period.
Moeen, who has scored 1061 runs and taken 44 wickets in his 52 one-day internationals, said: "Morgan is a very calm person which comes across on TV too.
"He hardly panics and is very good at controlling his emotions. He is very relaxed which is good from a player's point of view."
Batsman Joe Root was announced as England Test captain in February to replace Alastair Cook, who gave up the responsibility after a record 59 Tests.
But Moeen believes Yorkshireman Root, who takes charge for the first time in the summer series against South Africa, will make his own mark on the team.
"Joe is quite a cheeky guy and he will bring that personality into his captaincy. He will take more risks as captain than Cook and bring his own style into the side," Moeen, 29, said at a 'NatWest - Cricket Has No Boundaries' event.
"He has been the same since becoming England Test captain. I don't think he is going to change too much, he will be the same Joe Root as he has been for the last three years."
In the limited-overs game, England lost to India in the final of the last Champions Trophy event in 2013, followed by an agonising final-over loss to West Indies in the World Twenty20 last year.
Although they won their first and only ICC global event at the 2010 World T20 against Australia, England have never won an ODI tournament.
Asked if there is pressure being expected to win this time, Moeen replies: "Not really. The team we have at the moment, we deserve that tag. Playing at home is going to make a massive difference and hopefully we can win the trophy.
"We have lost a couple of finals recently but over the last couple of years we have played very well in preparation for this Trophy.
"Hopefully if we get to the final we can overcome the final step and win it. We have gained experience from the T20 World Cup so it will definitely help us."
The Champions Trophy takes place from 1 to 18 June, while Ramadan falls during the same period, starting on 26 May and ending on 24 June.
As the holy month is happening during the British summer, Muslims will be fasting for around 19 hours, with no food or fluids including water allowed to be consumed.
Moeen says he will fast during the matches that are taking place at his home ground of Edgbaston in Birmingham, but will consider whether to do so when travelling to other parts of the country.
He added: "I have to make sure I am hydrated before I begin my fast. My schedule does not change too much but I have to make sure I get a good sleep before the match.
"I have been doing it for a very long time so I am not worried about it. I am used to it and it is more a mental than physical thing."

Text: About 50 others are in hospital and at least 20 are in a critical condition following the tubectomy operations.
Health camps are staged throughout India to control its huge population.
More people live in the country than in the US, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh combined.
The 2011 census shows that the country's population is now 1.21 billion, which means that India is on course to overtake China as the world's most populous nation by 2030.
The tubectomies were carried out on Saturday in Pendari village in Bilaspur district.
Chhattisgarh health officials quoted by the Hindustan Times denied any responsibility for the deaths, but some suggested that medics were under pressure from the authorities to perform too much sterilisation surgery in too little time.
State Chief Minister Raman Singh was reported by the newspaper to have suspended four senior health officials over the deaths, while a complaint to police has been filed against the surgeon who allegedly performed the operations.
Mr Singh said that initial evidence suggested that the deaths were caused by medical negligence.
"A detailed inquiry will be conducted into it keeping in view all the angles, including the quality of the medicines at the camp, standard of the surgery, post-operative measures and others," the chief minister was quoted as saying.
The state government has also said that compensation will be paid to the affected families.
Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shripad Naik could not say by when the report would be submitted, only that it would be completed "soon".
Most of those operated on in state-run sterilisation camps are women - many of them poor and often being paid to be sterilised.
Villagers say 83 women - all between the ages of 26 and 40 - were operated on in just six hours by one doctor and his assistant.
Reports say the women started complaining of pain and fever soon afterwards. A relative described the conditions at the clinic as "a desolate place" with "appalling" facilities.
Preliminary examinations showed the deaths had been caused by infection or shock as a result of blood loss, state deputy health director Amar Singh told the Press Trust of India news agency.
But health officials told BBC Hindi that the cause of the deaths would be known only after post-mortem reports were available.
Correspondents say all the women came from very poor families. Those who survived are receiving treatment in three different hospitals in the district.
Among those suspended is a doctor who won a government award last year for having conducted 50,000 sterilisations, says BBC Hindi's Alok Putul.
Botched sterilisation operations are nothing new in India.
In January 2012, three men were arrested in Bihar state for operating on 53 women in two hours. The men had carried out operations in a field and without the use of anaesthesia.
Female sterilisation works by sealing the fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the womb. This can be done using clips, clamps or small rings or by tying and cutting the tube - this stops the egg and sperm meeting, so pregnancy can't occur.
Eggs will still be released from the ovaries as normal, but they will be reabsorbed by the body instead.
The procedure is very effective and straightforward when carried out correctly and by a highly trained professional. But it is not without risks.
It requires an anaesthetic and there is a risk of damage to other organs during the procedure. There can be bleeding and infection too. It should also be considered permanent - it is difficult to reverse.
Authorities in India have been promoting family planning for several decades, trying to convince people to have smaller families.
Why do Indian women go to sterilisation camps?
Sterilisation camps are frequently held to carry out mass tubectomy operations for women - or vasectomies for men - and in some states, health workers receive money for each person they bring to a clinic to be sterilised.
Reports say a sum of about $20 was given to each of the women at the Bilaspur district camp.
The decision to be sterilised is voluntary, although in some cases women are put under pressure by officials. Figures show the vast majority opting for sterilisations are poor women from rural areas.
India abandoned a nationwide campaign in the 1970s after complaints that thousands of men and women had been forced into having the operations. Successive governments have failed to control India's population growth rate, which stands at 1.6% a year.
summary: The government of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh has ordered an inquiry into the deaths of 11 women who underwent botched sterilisation surgery at a state-run health camp.
Text: It took until the 34th minute before Murphy fired home left-footed from six yards before on-loan Ben Turner quickly doubled City's lead with a header.
On-loan Murphy then struck twice more inside three minutes before the break.
Bradley Dack pulled one back with a left-foot shot on 63 minutes.
But it could not stop Gillingham surrendering their lead to City, who climbed to their highest ranking in the Football League since being relegated to the third tier in 2012.
Despite controlling the first half hour, City could have fallen behind when Sky Blues old boy Cody McDonald's header was cleared off the line by Jim O'Brien. Instead, the Sky Blues broke down the other end and Murphy took advantage of a mistake by Adedeji Oshilaja to round goalkeeper Stuart Nelson before finishing.
Three minutes later, Murphy won the corner that saw Ryan Kent cross for Turner to power home his 37th minute header, marking his first start since his midweek return to the club on loan from Cardiff City..
O'Brien then played in Murphy to round Nelson again before the young on-loan Norwich striker completed his first career treble when he stroked Chris Stokes' cross into the top corner to complete a personal haul of six goals in three games after last weekend's brace at Colchester.
Coventry top scorer Adam Armstrong then hit the post before Dack fired home his consolation goal for the visitors.
This was the third time this season that 'second' has played 'first' in League One - and, on each occasion, the game has been won by the chasing side, to ensure new leaders of the division.
On both previous occasions, in October, Walsall were the winners, beating first Burton Albion and then Gillingham.
Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"I'm delighted with a top performance. My job is to inspire the team and get them in the right frame of mind.
"When they left the dressing room I thought they were ready for a proper game of football, and it proved to be the case.
"We have to use that as our benchmark and try to attain that performance level as often as we can."

Article:The PM told the BBC's Andrew Marr the cuts were part of a "bigger picture" of increased wages and lower income tax.
But a think tank headed by former Tory minister David Willetts warned low paid families will be out of pocket until the other changes kick in.
It came as thousands took part in a TUC anti-austerity rally in Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police and the TUC say 60,000 people joined the demonstration against spending and benefit cuts, NHS reforms and new restrictions on industrial action.
The protest, which saw placard-waving crowds pass within metres of police barriers protecting the conference venue, was largely good-natured but there have been two arrests, including that of a man for allegedly spitting at a journalist.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt was jostled by protesters as he made his way into the venue, protected by a cordon of police officers.

Who will be affected?
Institute for Fiscal Studies on welfare spending
More than three million low-paid workers will be told just before Christmas how much they will lose from the changes to tax credits.
Former Conservative minister David Willetts has urged Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne to look again at the changes - a view supported by Labour MP Frank Field and Conservative MP Boris Johnson.
Rosa Walden, a single mother of two who works full-time, said she would lose 10% of her income. She told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend: "If I stand to lose that amount of money, it's keeping me struggling, it's making things worse."
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned it is "arithmetically impossible" for nobody to lose out under the changes, while another think tank, The Resolution Foundation, which is headed by Mr Willetts, said more than one million households would lose an average of £1,350 a year.
IFS director Paul Johnson told BBC News the move to a living wage - which will increase the minimum wage to £7.20 an hour from April next year - was a "big change" but "not a big enough change to compensate most of those who are receiving tax credits".
Mr Cameron told the Andrew Marr Show the introduction of the National Living Wage and continued increases to the personal tax allowance would protect the poorest.
He said: "We have had the vote in Parliament on tax credits and I think people respect this argument that the National Living Wage - a 50p increase next year, so a £20-a-week pay rise, rising to £9 by the end of this Parliament - that is a very significant change that really helps to make work pay rather than a tax credit system that recycles money back to people."
He said the UK was moving to a "better system" where people pay less in tax and keep more of the money they earn.
Asked about a possible further review ahead of next month's Autumn Statement, Mr Cameron said: "No, we think the changes we have put forward are right and they come with higher pay and lower taxes."
Labour's Jonathan Ashworth said: "David Cameron has shown that his promises to stand up for working families are a complete farce."
He said the PM's promises on a seven-day NHS had been made before and not delivered and the PM had "refused to come clean" in his Marr interview about when he was "informed directly" about the non-dom tax status of former Conservative Party donor Lord Ashcroft.
Mr Cameron appeared to offer an olive branch to trade unions angry at plans to raise strike ballot thresholds, describing their offer of a compromise involving the introduction of electronic voting as "interesting".
"The trade unions are accepting these thresholds are right, that you shouldn't have damaging strikes that close schools or shut hospitals or stop underground systems working, you shouldn't have those things without a proper turnout of voters," he told Andrew Marr.
Mr Cameron suggested controversial parts of the Bill, such as a requirement for people on pickets to wear armbands and to have social media posts vetted in advance, could be reviewed.
"All these measures in the legislation can be discussed as they go through Parliament," he told Andrew Marr.
Mr McCluskey vowed to fight the "deeply divisive" Trade Union Bill by any means, warning: "If that pushes us outside the law, then it will be the prime minister's responsibility for the outcomes of that."

A Chelsea shirt signed by Jose Mourinho fetched £2,550 while a trip to watch Barcelona train sold for £3,550.
The money will be split between several charities including the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
This was the fourth Sir Bobby Auction organised by his friend Gina Long and more than £870,000 has now been raised for charities.
Ms Long, a charity fundraiser from Suffolk, said: "Sir Bobby was a colossal global figure in football and the love and respect people still have for him has been reflected in the unbelievable money-can't-buy prizes that we have been fortunate to receive."
Sir Bobby's former clubs Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven, Newcastle United and Ipswich Town all gave support and there were personal donations from Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, Frank Lampard, Aaron Ramsey, Terry Butcher, Kevin Beattie, Sir Alex Ferguson, Andre Villas-Boas and Jose Mourinho.
An England shirt signed by Rooney sold for £1,820, two pictures of the Beatles fetched a total of £1,030 and a "once in a lifetime" Russian football experience donated by Zenit Saint Petersburg manager Andre Villas-Boas went for £2,050.

Problem: Article: Boyle, 40, from Glasgow, said the paper had defamed him with an article published on 19 July 2011.
Daily Mirror publisher Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) defended the piece "on the basis of truth and fair comment".
However jurors ruled in favour of Boyle.
The comedian said he was "very happy" as he left court.
Jurors awarded Boyle £50,400 after concluding that the racist description was defamatory.
Jurors had been shown footage from the BBC satirical show Mock The Week, in which Boyle and other comedians discussed immigration.
He was given further damages of £4,250 after the jury found the Mirror's report saying Boyle had been "forced to quit" Mock the Week was defamatory.
The comedian said The Daily Mirror newspaper had "misunderstood" the context of his use of language in jokes, adding the accusation of racism "goes against everything I've tried to do in my work, to do in my life".
The Glasgow-born comedian said he had been "pretending" to be someone with racist views during the episode.
He said he had "actively campaigned" against racism and he thought it was "important" to highlight the issue in his routines by mocking the attitudes of racists, whom he "despised".
The comedian's humour has often proved controversial with audiences.
Last year, broadcasting watchdog Ofcom upheld more than 500 complaints about his Channel 4 show Tramadol nights, during which he joked about model Katie Price's disabled son, Harvey.
In 2008, the BBC apologised when Boyle made a joke about Palestine on the Radio 4 comedy show Political Animal.
A year after that, BBC Two's Mock The Week was criticised by the BBC Trust over comments Boyle made on the show about swimmer Rebecca Adlington's appearance.

Problem: Article: Ajmal took 178 Test and 183 one-day wickets before he was banned in September 2014 for an illegal action.
But after being cleared to play again and recalled to the Pakistan squad in April, he has since been dropped.
"I'm confident that I can make a comeback for my country and prove my critics wrong," he said.
"I feel that I'm not a spent force when it comes to international cricket and as a bowler I still have something to offer my country."
Ajmal, who re-signed for Worcestershire in February as he began his comeback, was picked for the two-Test series against Bangladesh in April.
But having played only two ODIs and a T20, he produced one wicket in 22.3 overs and conceded runs at 6.57 per over.
Ajmal told PakPassion.net that despite rumours that he had been sacked by Worcestershire, his contract would run out on 4 September allowing him to return to play in Pakistan.
"There was no sacking or early termination of my contract as some media are reporting. My contract with Worcestershire is until 4th September as I will be leaving for Hajj the day after I return to Pakistan next week," he added.
"Worcestershire had wanted me to play for them for the whole season but I had decided and agreed with Worcestershire prior to signing the contract this season that I wouldn't be able to play the whole season and would return to Pakistan prior to the end of the season."

Problem: "And I got it done in the first 100 days," Mr Trump quipped at a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. "You think that's easy?"
Mr Gorsuch, who was sworn in by Justice Anthony Kennedy, becomes the 113th justice to serve on the high court.
"I am humbled by the trust placed in me today," he said after taking the oath.
"I will never forget that to whom much is given, much will be expected," the 49-year-old continued.
"And I promise you to do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the constitution and laws of this great nation."

Mr Gorsuch's appointment to the Supreme Court comes after a year-long political battle over filling the vacant seat.
Republican lawmakers refused to consider Barack Obama's nominee to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative darling who died in February last year.
It was the longest period a seat has remained unfilled on the Supreme Court since during the American Civil War in 1862.
On Monday morning, Chief Justice John Roberts administered Mr Gorsuch's first oath, which all federal employees take, at a private ceremony at the Supreme Court.
All eight justices, Mr Gorsuch's wife and two daughters and Maureen and Eugene Scalia, the widow and son of the justice Gorsuch is replacing, attended the ceremony.
Later at the White House, Justice Kennedy administered a second oath to Mr Gorsuch, who was his former law clerk.
At one point during Neil Gorsuch's Rose Garden swearing-in ceremony, Donald Trump thanked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "for all he did to make this achievement possible".
The thanks were certainly well earned. Mr McConnell quite possibly did more than any other US senator in history to ensure his party's nominee was confirmed to the Supreme Court.
He defied tradition in holding the late Justice Antonin Scalia's seat vacant for nearly a year so Democrat Barack Obama couldn't get his man on the court.
He then reversed more than half a century of precedent by abandoning the filibuster rule and allowing Mr Gorsuch a straight majority vote.
With Mr Gorsuch on the high court Mr Trump has fulfilled a campaign promise that was instrumental to his election last autumn.
The prospect of a liberal majority serving as the final arbiter of legal disputes was terrifying to many hard-core and evangelical conservatives who might have otherwise been reluctant to fall in line behind their party's unorthodox nominee.
Instead they voted for Mr Trump in droves - by a larger margin than they did Mitt Romney in 2012.
The deal is now done, and the rest of Mr Trump's presidency stretches before him. While the Gorsuch nomination unified Republicans of all stripes, the coming political battles will hardly be as clear-cut - and Mr McConnell may not be the hero for the president that he was today.
Mr Gorsuch, a former Denver appeals judge, was confirmed 54-45 on Friday after Senate Republicans took the historic step of changing the chamber's rules in order to ram through their pick.
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell triggered a legislative manoeuvre known as the "nuclear option" when Republicans lacked the 60 votes required to end debate on Mr Gorsuch.
The result is a triumph for Mr Trump's young presidency. For many of those who voted for him, securing a conservative judge on America's highest court was a top priority.

Problem: The Guildhall, which dates back to 1420, at King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon, includes his schoolroom and a theatre.
The project includes repairing the timber structure and conserving medieval paintings.
Work is scheduled to end in April 2016, 400 years after Shakespeare's death.
It will include upgrading the heating system and installing an accessible toilet and a lift.
The Guildhall, not far from Shakespeare's birthplace, was where he saw some of his first theatre performances, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) said.
It is still used for teaching every day, but the project will allow children from Coventry and Birmingham to have a lesson where Shakespeare once sat.
Under the initiative, there will also be creative writing sessions for members of the public at the Guildhall, along with lessons for children in a Tudor style, interactive displays and performances being shown on screens.
Head of HLF West Midlands Reyahn King said: "This project will enable the wider public and tourists from around the world to sit where Shakespeare sat and gain an insight into the world which helped inspire him to become the world's greatest playwright."
The school, known to have been in existence from 1295, is a state-funded academy trust selective school for boys.
The Guildhall has also been used as a base for Stratford borough council.

Problem: John Catt has spent years protesting in support of various causes, details of which are held on the National Domestic Extremism Database.
The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) has refused to delete all the data retained about Mr Catt.
The judgement on his application has been reserved for judicial review.
Tim Owen QC, appearing for Mr Catt, told the court he was "passionate" about protesting and regularly took part, entirely peacefully, in demonstrations.
He said Mr Catt had come to court to fight for "a citizen's right lawfully to manifest his political views without being labelled a domestic extremist subject to a special and apparently arbitrary form of state surveillance".
According to Mr Owen, there were 66 written entries on the database referring to demonstrations Mr Catt had attended between March 2005 and October 2009, plus others relating to his daughter, Linda.
Jeremy Johnson QC, representing both Acpo and the Met, told the court: "Where you engage in public activity [demonstrations] you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy."
He said the police were obliged to record who they saw at protests and what they did, even if they were not involved in unlawful activity.
Mr Johnson also said if Mr Catt won the case the police would be prevented from recording and retaining important intelligence information that might help prevent crime.
Lord Justice Gross, sitting with Mr Justice Irwin, reserved judgment on Mr Catt's application for judicial review which is expected to be handed down in the next few weeks.

Summarize this article:
One day he is the most popular politician in the country, cheered by adoring crowds wherever he goes, on the verge of fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming prime minister.
A few weeks later he has led an improbably successful campaign to get Britain out of the European Union and is being pursued down the street by angry voters, his career apparently lying in tatters after being knifed in the back by one of his closest allies.
No chance of No 10 now. No chance of redemption either, from a new prime minister who has always seemed to treat him with thinly veiled contempt.
Yet here he is again, a few days later, bouncing up Downing Street in his best suit and tie, to be handed one of the biggest and most important jobs in government.
It has been, to use the old cliche, a rollercoaster. Except, if it were a rollercoaster, Boris Johnson would manage to get stranded at the top of a loop, have to be rescued by paramedics, to ironic cheers from the crowd below, and then somehow turn the whole episode to his advantage.
It is a gift that very few politicians possess. But it does not begin to unravel the riddle that is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
Age: 52
Marital status: Married with four children
Political party: Conservatives
Time as MP: Represented Henley, in Oxfordshire, from 2001 to 2008, and for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, 2015 to present
Previous jobs: London Mayor, Editor of The Spectator magazine; assistant editor, Brussels correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
For readers outside the UK, who might be puzzled by his appointment as foreign secretary, it is best not to think of him as a politician at all, in the conventional sense.
He found fame as a TV personality before he had achieved anything in politics.
His friend, journalist Rod Liddle, once said of his former editor: "Like all politicians, he is sometimes required to talk anodyne or disingenuous rot, but unlike the remainder, he cannot keep a straight face while doing this."
The British public warmed to this quality and it allowed him to get away with the kind of gaffes and indiscretions that would have sunk the career of other politicians many times over.
Pictures of him stranded on a zip wire, waving union jacks, during the 2012 London Olympics, were greeted with mirth, rather than derision.
But it would be wrong to think of Johnson as merely a clown.
A classics scholar, with a more supple mind than the average politician, he is someone with a deep understanding of politics and a fierce commitment to liberal, free-market economics.
As a man of Turkish ancestry, who was born in New York, spent part of his childhood in Brussels and who speaks several European languages, he is one of the most cosmopolitan figures in British politics - far from the Little Englander caricature that clings to some of his Brexit campaign colleagues.
His eight years as London mayor proved he could knuckle down to a serious job.
He was widely assumed to be motivated by a burning desire to be prime minister or, failing that, as he told his family as a boy: "The world king."
In his apparent determination to come across at all times like a minor character in a PG Wodehouse novel, with his tousled hair, rumpled suits and bumbling manner, he would always insist he had as much chance of becoming PM as being "reincarnated as an olive".
But in private, he was said to be a far more serious, and ruthless, figure. He comes from a high-achieving family. His younger sister Rachel is a high-profile journalist and younger brother Jo a government minister, and he had carefully plotted his path to the top.
It was in this context that the other side saw his last-minute decision to campaign for Britain's exit from the European Union.
He had previously been ambivalent about the EU. He had made a name for himself as a journalist in Brussels mercilessly mocking what he saw as petty EU rules and regulations but when it came to whether Britain should leave he sounded unsure.
In 2012, he said: "If we get to this campaign, I would be well up for trying to make the positive case for some of the good things that have come from the single market."
More recently, he had reportedly told friends: "The trouble is, I am not an 'outer'."
In his long career as a newspaper columnist and politician, Boris Johnson has managed to offend a wide variety of people and nations. Here is a selection.
On Tony Blair visiting Africa, in 2002: "It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies." He apologised for the use of the word "picanninnies" in 2008, during his successful campaign to be mayor of London.
In 2006, he said he would be happy to "add Papua New Guinea to my global itinerary of apology", after writing in a column that "for 10 years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing".
The country's High Commissioner in London described the remarks as "an insult to the integrity and intelligence of all Papua New Guineans". Mr Johnson said: "I meant no insult to the people of Papua New Guinea who I'm sure lead lives of blameless bourgeois domesticity in common with the rest of us." adding that his remarks were "inspired by a Time Life book" which he claimed contained recent pictures of "Papua New Guinean tribes engaged in warfare, and I'm fairly certain that cannibalism was involved".
The following year he had this to say about Hillary Clinton, in a column praising her credentials as a future US president: "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital".
During the EU referendum campaign, he got into a public spat with US president Barack Obama after a dig at his "part-Kenyan" ancestry.
He recently won a £1,000 prize for composing a rude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. We can't print the poem in full, you can read it here - suffice to say, it includes a creative rhyme for "Ankara".
Anyone coming up against the former London mayor on a sports pitch would be well advised to keep out of the way - he famously flattened a 10-year-old boy during a game of touch rugby on a trade visit to Japan.
Boris Johnson: A history of undiplomacy
Boris Johnson's new job: The world reacts
Mr Johnson's decision to lend his star power - and unrivalled ability to reach voters in all parts of the political spectrum - to the Brexit campaign was seen by those running it as a game-changing moment.
He became the face of Brexit in television debates and on the road in his bright red battle bus, a familiar, reassuring face who helped convince voters that quitting the EU was not as big a gamble as his old school friend David Cameron was claiming.
His ability to make Conservative free-market ideology sound liberating and even fun, rather than a dry exercise in accounting, was in full force, as he swept aside warnings about the likely impacts of Brexit as the products of a self-interested elite.
But when the result went his way he seemed a little shell-shocked. His post-referendum news conference was notable for its absence of Johnsonian joie de vivre.
He spent the Saturday after the referendum playing cricket at the ancestral home of Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer. There was speculation that he was not focusing on the tasks ahead.
There was also speculation that he had not really wanted Britain to quit the EU at all, just to put up a good fight and be hailed as a gallant loser by Brexit-hungry Conservative Party members who would then vote for him in their droves when the time came to elect a new leader.
For the first time in his life, he had become a hate figure for many people. The man who was used to cycling around London to cheery waves and thumbs-up signs from taxi drivers, was now being barracked by angry voters accusing him of wrecking the country for his own vanity.
Whether this influenced his decision to pull out of the leadership contest - triggered by David Cameron's decision to stand down - is debatable.
His old friend and fellow Brexiteer Michael Gove's dramatic, last-minute decision to enter the race - declaring that he did not think Mr Johnson was up to the job - sealed his fate. It was a brutal political assassination, which was met with dismay by Mr Johnson's supporters.
Not for the first time in his life, he was contemplating the end of his political career.
"Try as I might I could not look at an overhead projection of a growth-profit matrix and stay conscious," on his week-long career in management consultancy.
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3," on the campaign trail in 2004.
"If I was in charge I would get rid of Jamie Oliver and tell people to eat what they like," striking a blow for the right to eat pies at the 2006 Tory conference. He later described Oliver as a "national saint"
"I think if I made a huge effort always to have a snappy, inspiring soundbite on my lips, I think the sheer mental strain of that would be such that I would explode," - on his unique political style
"I think I was once given cocaine but I sneezed and so it did not go up my nose. In fact, I may have been doing icing sugar," after being questioned on TV panel show Have I Got News for You about drug use
"I have not had an affair with Petronella. It is complete balderdash. It is an inverted pyramid of piffle," on press reports of his relationship with journalist Petronella Wyatt. He would later be sacked from the Tory front bench for these comments
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (he is still known to family members as Al) was born in New York to English parents in 1964 and was, until recently, an American citizen.
He had an idyllic childhood spent, in part, on the family farm on Exmoor and in north London, where he attended the same infant school, in affluent Primrose Hill, as future Labour leader Ed Miliband.
In the early 1970s his father, Stanley, moved the family to Brussels after landing a job at the European Commission, in charge of pollution control.
Boris attended the European School in the Belgian capital, where he befriended his future wife Marina Wheeler, daughter of BBC journalist Charles Wheeler.
But in 1973, with his parents' marriage falling apart, he headed off to boarding school in England.
He shone at Ashdown House Preparatory School in East Sussex, developing a lifelong passion for Classics and winning a scholarship to the UK's best-known public school, Eton, where he quickly made an impression.
His headmaster at the school which Prince William and Prince Harry were later to attend, Sir Eric Anderson, was also Tony Blair's housemaster during his schooldays at Fettes - often dubbed the Scottish Eton.
In 1983, Mr Johnson arrived at Balliol College in Oxford to study Classics.
He was already known for his sense of humour and his bumbling "old duffer" persona - but he also displayed a ruthless streak in his pursuit of his political ambitions.
He even briefly spurned his Conservative allegiances in favour of the then fashionable SDP as part of his successful campaign to be president of the Oxford Union.
He was also elected to the elite Bullingdon Club, famed for its hard-drinking, riotous behaviour.
Fellow members included his close friend Charles Spencer and the future Prime Minister David Cameron.
In one group photograph - which would later come back to haunt him - Mr Johnson is pictured lounging decadently in his £1,200 Bullingdon Club tailcoat, alongside Mr Cameron.
Halfway through his first year, he met and fell in love with Allegra Mostyn-Owen, a fellow student who also modelled for society magazine Tatler in her spare time.
In 1987 - when they were both 23 - he married Allegra in a grand ceremony at a Shropshire stately home, complete with an opera singer and a string quartet.
According to biographer Andrew Gimson's account, Mr Johnson managed to turn up in the wrong clothes - walking down the aisle in trousers belonging to Tory MP John Biffen - and lost his wedding ring within an hour of receiving it.
The marriage lasted less than three years, by which time Mr Johnson was beginning to make a name for himself as a journalist in Brussels.
His first attempt at forging a career, as a trainee management consultant, lasted a week.
His career in journalism very nearly fell at the first hurdle too, after he was sacked by the Times for making up a quote.
He had been trying to spice up a dull story about an archaeological dig but the editor - and the history don he "quoted", who also happened to be his godfather - failed to see the funny side.
He described the episode in an interview with the Independent in 2002 as his "biggest cock-up".
Luckily for him, the then Daily Telegraph editor, Sir Max Hastings, was prepared to overlook this indiscretion.
He took on Mr Johnson as a leader writer and then the newspaper's Brussels correspondent.
Mr Johnson took to his new role with relish, merrily debunking the stuffy European institutions his father had served as a commissioner and Tory MEP.
But disaster loomed again, when a tape surfaced of an old Oxford friend, Darius Guppy, who had been convicted of fraud, asking him to help locate a witness.
"He did not say yes, but neither did he say no," recalled Sir Max, who interrogated him about the tape which had been sent to the Telegraph anonymously.
"He evoked all of his self-parodying skills as a waffler. Words stumbled forth... never intended... old friend... took no action... misunderstanding," added Sir Max in the Observer.
He said he was satisfied Johnson had not been guilty of any impropriety and "dispatched him back to Brussels with a rebuke".
He was, by now, married to Marina Wheeler, his childhood friend from Brussels, who had become a successful barrister.
The two had never quite lost touch and after his divorce from Allegra, he set about pursuing her with characteristic persistence.
Their first child, Lara Lettice, was born in 1993, with three more children - Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches and Theodore Apollo - following in quick succession.
He had stood unsuccessfully for the Conservatives at the 1997 general election, in the Labour stronghold of Clwyd South.
Two years later, when he was made editor of The Spectator, he told its proprietor at the time, Conrad [now Lord] Black, he would give up politics to concentrate full-time on the magazine.
But he continued to agonise over his decision in private, confessing to friend Charles Moore: "I want to have my cake and eat it."
In 2001 he stood for Michael Heseltine's old seat, Henley in Oxfordshire, and won.
But with The Spectator continuing to publish articles which proved embarrassing or irritating to some of his new parliamentary colleagues it was, perhaps, only a matter of time before Mr Johnson came unstuck.
It was an unsigned Spectator editorial, accusing the citizens of Liverpool of wallowing in their "victim status" over the murdered Iraq hostage Ken Bigley, that finally did it.
The Tory leader at the time, Michael Howard, resisted calls to sack Mr Johnson. He had what turned out to be a far worse fate in mind - and dispatched his errant culture spokesman to Liverpool to apologise to the entire city.
The mission quickly descended into farce, however, as he was pursued by a media pack hungry for more gaffes. One reporter described it as an "Ealing comedy".
On a radio phone-in he was given a humiliating dressing-down by Paul Bigley, brother of Ken, who told him: "You're a self-centred, pompous twit - even your body language on TV is wrong."
He endured the ordeal, which he later dubbed Operation Scouse Grovel, with good grace.
But he was sacked by Mr Howard a few weeks later in any case, for allegedly lying over an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt - something he vehemently denied.
When challenged about the relationship by the Mail on Sunday, Mr Johnson denied everything, calling stories about it an "inverted pyramid of piffle".
He suffered the indignity of being thrown out of the family home - and was hounded by the tabloid press as he went for a run wearing a skull-and-crossbones bandana.
Mr Johnson was seen as good copy, always ready with an amusing quip or a fresh piece of buffoonery, but any hopes of climbing higher up the political ladder seemed to be over.
The man who had dreamed of being in the Cabinet by the age of 35 watched as Mr Cameron, an Eton and Oxford contemporary two years younger than him, grabbed the Tory leadership.
Mr Cameron handed his old friend the junior role of higher education spokesman on the condition that he gave up editing the Spectator, which had seen its circulation soar under his guidance.
There was a new sense of seriousness about the way Mr Johnson tackled the higher education brief and it was a springboard to the job that would define his political career to this point - London mayor.
Mr Cameron had been determined to draft in someone from outside the party, preferably a well-known celebrity, to take on Labour incumbent Ken Livingstone as part of his efforts to broaden the Conservatives' appeal.
But when those efforts came to nothing, he turned to the party's own in-house celebrity.
He got down to the job of proving he was a serious candidate, displaying hitherto unseen levels of discipline, storming to victory over Mr Livingstone and gaining a huge personal mandate of more than a million votes.
As mayor, he championed liberal social policies, such as a living wage, and put his stamp on the capital by banning "bendy buses" and introducing a cycle hire scheme, which inevitably became known as the "Boris bikes".
He was a vehement opponent of a third runway at Heathrow airport, arguing instead for the construction of a new airport on reclaimed land in the Thames Estuary, a stillborn scheme that inevitably became known as "Boris island".
He was criticised for a lack of focus on detail and of failing to get to grips with some of the capital's long-term problems, such as a shortage of affordable housing, and for being slow to respond to the riots that swept the city in the summer of 2011.
But he proved to be a first class advocate for London as a vibrant, multicultural economic powerhouse. He toured the world banging the drum for London business and managing, most of the time, to avoid putting his foot in his mouth.
He was rewarded with a second election victory over Mr Livingstone in 2012, cementing his status as the most popular Conservative politician in the country.
Within weeks, he had the perfect stage on which to bask in his popularity in the London Olympics. He returned to the House of Commons at the 2015 election in the safe Conservative seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip and - until his Brexit hiccup - looked on course to succeed David Cameron as prime minister.
His latest political comeback sees him getting a full cabinet seat for the first time - he had previously been a member of Mr Cameron's "political cabinet," which did not take policy decisions - and in one of the traditional "great offices of state".
Colleagues have argued that his new-found status as a "Europhile Brexiteer" may be what is needed, as he attempts to reassure the world that Britain is still an outward-looking nation.
Some wonder whether his gift for blunders will be his undoing, and that foreign dignitaries he meets in his new role will be left bemused, rather than charmed, by his very English brand of eccentricity.
On his first day in the job he described his mission as "reshaping Britain's global identity as a great global player" and stressed that just because the government would "respect the will of the people" and take Britain out of the EU it did not mean the country would be leaving Europe.
He brushed off questions about his past gaffes and insults, and negative comments about his appointment, saying it was "inevitable that there would be a certain amount of plaster coming off the ceilings in the Chancelleries of Europe" after Britain's Brexit vote, and they were "making their views known in a free and frank way".

It will also only run a very limited service on the East Coast line if the action goes ahead.
Thousands of signallers, maintenance staff and station workers are due to walk out for 24 hours from 17:00 BST on Monday in a row over pay and jobs.
Passengers are being advised not to travel unless "absolutely necessary".
There are also widespread cancellations expected across many other operators including CrossCountry Trains, Chiltern Railways, Arriva Trains Wales, First Great Western and ScotRail.
Virgin, which runs services on the major routes between London and Scotland, said if the strike goes ahead some tickets may be used on other days.
A Virgin spokesman said customers would need to make alternative arrangements, and those travelling on Sunday 24 May or Wednesday 27 May were advised to check for disruption before travelling.
Network Rail is making a legal challenge against the TSSA, one of the unions involved in the industrial action, which is due to be heard at the High Court on Thursday.
Chief executive Mark Carne also urged train passengers to be prepared for the strike, saying it could not bank on unions calling off the planned stoppage.
The two sides are continuing to hold talks at the conciliation service Acas. Network Rail said its negotiators would be available into the weekend if necessary.
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators, said a strike timetable would be made available once it was clear whether the strike would go ahead.
Full details of amended timetables are expected to be available from train operators by Saturday, with more "overviews and summaries" available from Thursday.
If the strike goes ahead, fans of Middlesbrough and Norwich City football clubs may have trouble travelling to Wembley for the Championship play-off final at 3pm on Monday.

Text: First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will also pledge to double the number of specialist nurses, who are currently paid for through charity donations.
She made the decision within weeks of meeting MND campaigner Gordon Aikman.
Mr Aikman, 29, was diagnosed with the incurable condition last year, when he was working for Better Together.
He has since raised more than £100,000 for MND charities through his Gordon's Fightback campaign, which is also calling for improvements in care for patients.
When he met Ms Sturgeon before Christmas, he called for the number of specialist MND nurses to be increased from seven to 14 and for them to be paid for from public funds rather than charitable donations.
Ms Sturgeon announced the cash to pay for these changes as part of a £2.5m-a-year plan to improve specialist nursing care for those with MND and other rare conditions.
She told BBC Scotland: "We are establishing a £2.5m fund to expand specialist nursing care for people with very rare conditions.
"The first allocation of this fund will be for people with motor neurone disease and an amount of £700,000 will fund the existing motor neurone disease specialist nurses and double their number.
"It was one of the specific objectives that Gordon Aikman set out in his campaign and I'm delighted the government is able to do it."
The money will come from extra resources earmarked for the Scottish budget in the Chancellor's autumn statement.
Responding to Ms Sturgeon's announcement, Mr Aikman said: "I am delighted. This will transform the lives of Scottish MND patients, including me.
"Today, Scotland is leading the way with motor neurone disease care. But now it is up to the UK parties to commit to double MND research funding so we can find a cure to this horrific disease.
"This is a victory for the thousands of supporters who demanded action through GordonsFightback.com, MSPs from across the political spectrum, and the first minister who answered the call for change."
The MND Scotland charity also welcomed Ms Sturgeon's announcement, which it said would give patients greater contact with nurses as they will not have such huge geographical areas to cover.
Currently MND Scotland meets 80% of the nurses' costs, despite repeatedly asking NHS boards which do not contribute to do so.
The charity said Ms Sturgeon's announcement would save it more than £300,000 per year, which would be used to introduce new services aimed at improving the lives of those affected by MND.
Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy said he would double the number of MND nurses in Scotland as part of his plan to deliver 1,000 more nurses in Scotland if the party wins the general election in May.
MND is a rare, progressive and debilitating disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. It leads to weakness and muscle wasting and can affect walking, talking, eating and breathing.
There are said to 426 people in Scotland living with MND.
summary: The NHS is to begin funding the specialist nurses who care for motor neurone disease (MND) patients in Scotland.
input: Article: Police Scotland said the warnings were "not credible" but pupils were moved out of several schools for a time while checks were carried out
Schools across Scotland - from Dumfries and Galloway, across the central belt and up to Perth - were affected.
Similar hoax calls have been made to schools in England and Northern Ireland in recent days.
Police said "significant inquiries" into the threats were under way.
Carluke Primary, and Canberra Primary in East Kilbride, were among the schools evacuated.
South Lanarkshire Council said pupils had been moved to other nearby schools.
Pupils and staff at Dunrobin Primary in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, were also removed from classes but later returned.
A North Lanarkshire Council spokesman said: "Staff received a telephone call claiming there was an explosive device within the building and pupils were taken to the nearby community centre.
"Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland were quickly on the scene and carried out a site safety inspection. They gave the all-clear for staff and pupils to return to the building just after 10.30am."
Perth High School was also targeted by a call but was not evacuated on police advice.
Police also confirmed that Dumfries High School had also received a threat.
Dumfries and Galloway Council said the school had "robust procedures in place to assess risk".
"Police Scotland was informed immediately and attended the school," a statement said.
"Police Scotland and Dumfries and Galloway Council's education service have been aware of such threats as an emerging issue across the UK in recent weeks.
"There is nothing to indicate that this was a substantive threat and it was, therefore, important not to unnecessarily disrupt pupils' learning and teaching. Obviously, this matter will involve a significant investigation by Police Scotland."

Problem: Prof Calvin Jones admitted the South Wales Metro plan had raised hopes that the Valleys would immediately benefit.
The Welsh Government said the Metro would be "transformational" as they hope first services will be running on the network by 2023.
But Prof Jones said the first places to benefit "may indeed be in Cardiff".
"This is a minimum of a 15-year to 20-year project," Prof Jones of the Cardiff Business School told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales TV programme.
"The expectations of this process, between the shiny Metro and the reality of what will be an incremental long-term development, are very difficult to manage."
The initial work will be carried out to upgrade the existing Valleys lines and it is estimated that part of the billion pound scheme could cost around £734m up to 2023.
The Metro scheme promises better trains, faster buses and light rail or tram services in Cardiff and the south Wales valleys.
Welsh ministers are working towards making an application for funds by mid-2017, with construction to begin in 2019 and completion by the end of 2022.
The finance includes £125m from UK government funds and £369m from the Welsh budget.
First Minister Carwyn Jones travelled to the European Commission in Brussels on Wednesday in a bid to secure £110m of EU funding for the South Wales Metro project.
A Welsh government spokesman told BBC Wales the response in those meetings had been "encouraging".
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said the government hoped to "have diggers in the ground towards the end of this decade".
"The Metro will be a transformational piece of infrastructure for south Wales," he said.
"This will connect many communities that are currently feeling quite isolated and I've been very clear all along that the Metro should primarily serve the valleys communities.
"By 2023 we hope to have Metro services up and running."
Geraint Corkrey, owner of the Navigation pub and cafe in Treharris, in Merthyr Tydfil county borough, said: "We'd like to think that a Metro system with a stop in Treharris would bring people into the village.
"Hopefully that would benefit the local economy and boost the area in general, which personally I think is much needed."
However, Prof Jones warned: "The first places to benefit from the Metro may indeed be in Cardiff.
"The problem with that is people in Treharris don't want to wait too long."

Problem: Passengers had recently been given the option of a booking a self-driving vehicle.
But authorities had threatened legal action if Uber did not obtain a special permit to test the cars.
Uber argues that because they came with a safety driver and are not fully autonomous, the permit was not needed.
"We're now looking at where we can redeploy these cars, but remain 100% committed to California and will be redoubling our efforts to develop workable statewide rules," Uber said.
San Francisco is Uber's second trial city for the new technology. In Pittsburgh, the company has been running its driverless trial since September and has not required special permits.

Although the cars are promoted as "self-driving", they must constantly be monitored by an actual driver who can take control any time the software should fail.
Uber says its technology is not sophisticated enough to have cars continuously drive by themselves - and therefore the permit demanded in San Francisco is not needed.
But regulators say that 20 other companies testing self-driving technology in California - including Google, Tesla and Ford - do so with the special permit which requires the firms to report any accidents to the authorities. This potentially undermines the company's reputation, as the reports are available to the public.
Just before the city's Department of Motor Vehicles threatened Uber with legal action over the missing permit, a video of an Uber self-driving vehicle running a red light in San Francisco had been uploaded to YouTube.
The trials are designed for the firm to identify flaws and glitches in the technology behind the autonomous driving.

Problem: Craig Palmer admitted a string of child sex offences and was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday.
Palmer, 33, of Blakesley Grove, Stechford, Birmingham, admitted eight counts of sexual assault, which took place when the baby girl was aged between five and 12 months.
All of the offences took place between December 2014 and February 2016, West Midlands Police said.
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
Police said they discovered Palmer's crimes after a tip-off from the National Crime Agency linked him to indecent images of children posted online.
He was arrested at his then home in Fairfax Road, Sutton Coldfield, in February 2016, where they seized his phone.
Full forensic analysis revealed he had more than 1,000 abusive images of young children on the phone, including some showing him sexually assaulting the baby.
Palmer also pleaded guilty to a further 14 offences including making, possessing and distributing indecent photographs of children and one count of inciting or causing child prostitution and pornography.
He pleaded guilty to all charges in December, police said.
Det Insp Jim Foy said it had been a "disturbing" case for officers to pursue.

Senior judge Lord Glennie was examining the case of a woman who is alleged to have been a victim of domestic abuse.
Lawyers acting for the man accused of attacking her had wanted to access the woman's medical records.
She sought legal aid for representation at the hearing, but the Scottish government refused her application.
That decision has been overturned by Lord Glennie, who ruled that the woman's human rights had been breached.
The ruling has been welcomed as "very significant" by anti-rape campaigners, who said many victims did not come forward as they did not want their medical records to be accessed.
They also said that these records were frequently used to look for mental health issues, which was a "a significant violation of their privacy".
The woman, known in court documents as WF, is the alleged victim in five of the seven charges of assault and domestic abuse faced by a man in a case at a Highland sheriff court.
As part of the accused's case, defence lawyers wanted to recover all medical, psychiatric and psychological files relating to the woman over a seven-year period.
But the woman maintained that such a move would infringe her human rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which protects the right to privacy and family life.
The woman sought legal advice, and an application was made to the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) to allow her to be represented in opposition to the recovery proceedings.
To the world I epitomise the old cliche of "asking for it". I am the perfect imperfect rape victim. I was drunk. I was wearing a short skirt. I knew the man who attacked me. I willingly, albeit under false pretences, went back to his home.
But nothing prepared me - or rather, no one prepared me - for the fact that my previous mental health records were going to be lambasted in a courtroom full of strangers.
While cross examining me, the QC asked something that shocked me. He asked me if I had ever self-harmed in the past.
I was confused. I was angry. I didn't understand. When I was a young teenager - around 13-years-old - I was bullied at high school. I was depressed.
I resorted to self-harm to deal with my pain. I had only confided this detail to a school psychologist, maybe my doctor. I hadn't even told my own mother.
But here, at the trial of my rapist - some seven or more years later - this incredibly personal information was being broadcast to all - journalists, the jury, the judge, and worst of all, the man who only five months prior had repeatedly raped me.
Read more about Sarah Scott's ordeal
But SLAB refused the application, with the woman being told that - unlike in England and Wales - there was no provision in Scotland for legal aid to be granted to enable her to oppose her records being accessed.
The woman then turned to the Scottish Ministers, who can grant legal aid in circumstances not covered by the rules.
But they also rejected the move, claiming that the interests of the alleged victim could be protected without the need for them to personally participate and be represented at the hearing.
Lawyers acting for the woman sought a judicial review at the Court of Session, and argued that the Scottish government was preventing the woman from participating effectively in a case where own her own rights were involved.
It was also maintained that without adequate safeguards to protect them, the risk of disclosure of confidential medical and psychiatric records would be another reason why sex assault victims would not report such incidents to the police.
The woman was backed in her case by Rape Crisis Scotland, which said the medical records of alleged victims were increasingly being used in sexual offence prosecutions.
Lawyers acting for the Scottish Ministers argued that the alleged victim had no present right to be heard.
But in his written statement, Lord Glennie said: "That is wrong. There may be no express provision in any statute or any rule requiring intimation to be made on the complainer or requiring her to be given an opportunity to be heard.
"But she has that right by virtue of Article 8 and the absence of any specific provision in a statute or in court rules cannot take away that right.
"What is required is for the lack of any specific provision to be addressed by the appropriate rule-making body."
The judge added: "The appropriate course for this court is simply to reduce the decision, founded as it is on an error of law as to the complainer's right to be heard, leaving the Scottish Ministers to make a new decision on a correct legal basis."
Sandy Brindley of Rape Crisis Scotland said the ruling was a very significant step in protecting complainers' privacy.
She added: "The Scottish government has a strong track record in addressing violence against women but on this issue we consider that they have taken the wrong approach.
"No other woman should have to go through what the petitioner in this case has been through, just to have her views heard on such a fundamental breach of her privacy."
Sum: Campaigners have welcomed a ruling that abuse victims should be able to access legal aid to fight attempts to obtain their medical records.
The Scottish channel, which will receive £19m new cash and have a nightly 21:00 news show, has prompted criticism from Welsh politicians.
The announcement came after the BBC said it was investing an extra £8.5m a year in Welsh TV programmes - short of the £30m demanded by politicians.
BBC Wales said the needs of viewers in Scotland were "different".
Tory AM Darren Millar tweeted that it made the funding for Wales look like an "insult", while Labour shadow culture minister Kevin Brennan said it seemed that BBC Wales was "being short-changed compared to Scotland".
Under the Welsh package announced on Tuesday, the BBC said it would invest an extra £8.5m a year in English-language television programmes for Wales.
The BBC said the investment was a 50% increase and would fund new drama, comedy and entertainment programmes.
Bethan Jenkins, assembly culture committee chair and a Plaid Cymru AM, said she did not want to begrudge the Welsh deal but said different nations would "feel rightly aggrieved" at the different levels of investment.
Ms Jenkins' culture committee called for £30m extra to be spent on BBC English-language drama and broadcasting earlier this month.
Suzy Davies, Conservative AM for South Wales West and also a committee member, described the "sheer imbalance" as an "affront to Wales' journalists and to licence-fee payers".
But Alun Davies, Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language who has policy responsibility for broadcasting, said the creation of a separate channel would not answer the needs of Wales.
"A separate channel with tiny audiences will not bridge the current information deficit," he said.
"We need a comprehensive service on all of the BBC's existing channels and outlets which meet Wales' needs in news, sport and culture."
Speaking on BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Wales director Mr Davies said the Welsh funding deal was a substantial settlement and said political pressure played its part in both nations.
"There will be an announcement in due course about how the £8.5m will be spent. I do not spend my time comparing directly with what is happening in Scotland," he said.
"In Wales, we have intentionally chosen to spend the money on BBC One and BBC Two.
"We know through engaging with the audience that those are the channels where they want to see Wales being reflected."
A spokesman for the National Union of Journalists said: "Wales is being treated disgracefully, as there are no apparent plans for a similar channel or investment here.
"We call on BBC Cymru Wales to revisit the package announced yesterday and return with more imaginative and far-reaching proposals, similar to the ones being planned for Scotland."
A BBC spokeswoman said "the needs of audience in Scotland are different" and "as a result, different choices have been made that then require different levels of funding".
She said: "The BBC already has a very strong presence in Wales and we know audiences watch more BBC TV than any other part of the UK.
"We're already investing significantly more in Wales on producing programmes for the whole of the UK than our targets, and we've announced measures to make sure that output reflects Wales more strongly."

Riek Machar, who was sacked as South Sudan's vice-president last month, is in Sudan to receive "urgent medical attention", the state news agency says.
Article: | Sudan is hosting Mr Machar on "purely humanitarian grounds", it said.
Mr Machar has not been seen in public since July's clashes between his supporters and those of President Salva Kiir which killed some 300 people.
South Sudan has suffered more than two years of civil war, since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011.
Riek Machar's condition was now "stable" and he would "stay in Khartoum under full medical supervision until he leaves... for a destination of his choice," the Sudan News Agency (Suna) said.
Analysis: Mohanad Hashim, BBC News
The governments of both Sudan and South Sudan have accused each other of backing rebels in a bid to destabilise their countries.
Mr Machar's presence in Khartoum will give Sudan influence. It is likely to try and present itself as a mediator in the conflict, although many South Sudanese will be suspicious of its intentions.
Taban Deng Gai, Mr Machar's successor as vice-president, has also been in Khartoum this week.
He is likely to have sought assurances that Sudan is not planning on siding with Mr Machar, as well as requesting help to overcome his country's economic crisis.
Mr Machar demanded a neutral force be deployed in July to keep peace and guarantee his safety after his bodyguards and President Kiir's presidential guards fought each other, sparking days of violence.
Political differences between Mr Machar and Mr Kiir ignited the civil war in December 2013 - and they only agreed to settle their differences under intense international pressure, signing a peace deal last August.
Mr Machar returned to Juba in April to take up the post of vice-president, but President Kiir dismissed him in the wake of the latest violence.
More on South Sudan's crisis:
This month, the UN authorised a 4,000-strong African protection force for Juba with a more robust mandate than the 12,000 UN soldiers already in the country.
But South Sudan's government said it opposed the deployment and it is not clear how the mission can go ahead without its co-operation. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_opt | 8 | train | 219 |
Text: Scottish Natural Heritage said the birds faced "continued pressures" across the area.
The report confirms black grouse numbers in southern Scotland are in long-term decline.
Scientists predict that drop is likely to continue unless "strategic action" is taken to address the situation.
The information is contained within the report Black Grouse Conservation in Southern Scotland - the product of a joint SNH, Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) and South Uplands Partnership (SUP) research project.
The report concluded that black grouse survive where they have large patches of moorland to live in.
It seeks to lay the foundations for a "landscape-scale approach" which would focus on protecting known "core" populations before increasing the population numbers and connections to other patches on the landscape.
Sue Haysom, the project manager within SNH, said: "The report provides a key foundation for strategic action and identifies the next steps to save black grouse in the south of Scotland.
"Black grouse, like many species, face a range of pressures and need our help.
"This report sets us on a firm foundation and identifies how our limited resources could be used to best effect."
She said the next step was for everyone with an interest in the black grouse to work together to develop a "strategic conservation plan".
Pip Tabor, project manager with the SUP, said: "The SUP is really pleased that this study has confirmed the need for a landscape-scale approach to black grouse conservation.
"We sincerely hope that funds will now be found to deliver the necessary actions so that we can keep this charismatic species thriving in the Southern Uplands."
Dr Phil Warren, senior scientist at the GWCT, said the black grouse of southern Scotland had "severely declined" and now only occupied "a fraction of their formerly occupied range".
"Here, urgent conservation action is required to prevent further decline and to stabilise numbers," he said.
"This project provides an important evidence base and we look forward to working and engaging with land managers and other partners to develop and implement a landscape scale plan to conserve black grouse here."
summary: A new report has called for "greater and more sustained co-operative action" to help save threatened black grouse populations in the south of Scotland.

Text: Alfie Fripp died in hospital in Bournemouth on Thursday morning, the PoW Association confirmed.
Mr Fripp spent almost all of World War II in captivity after his plane was shot down by the Luftwaffe in 1939.
He was held at 12 different PoW camps, including Stalag Luft III, the scene of prisoner escapes which were dramatised in the film The Great Escape.
The pilot of the plane he was shot down in was one of 50 Allied airmen who escaped from the camp, only to be caught by the Nazis and executed on Hitler's orders.
Mr Fripp, who lived in Southbourne, joined the RAF in 1930 and married his sweetheart, Vera Allen, in September 1939, three days after war was declared by Britain on Germany.
His squadron of Blenheim bombers was sent to France, and just weeks later his aircraft was shot down by the Lufwaffe during a reconnaissance mission and the crew was captured.
As well as spending time in Stalag Luft III, he was also on the Long March of 1945, when thousands of PoWs were forced to march in winter from the camp in Sagan - now Zagan in Poland - to Spremberg in eastern Germany.
Many perished from the cold and starvation.
Family friend Pat Jackson, whose father was held with Mr Fripp at Stalag Luft III, said: "He was a lively, wonderful, inspirational man.
"He was marching past the Cenotaph in November 2012 - I was with him.
"He walked four miles a day. He was a ladies' man, full of humour and wit and up for anything, and that spirit - he had an amazing spirit."
Patricia Fripp announced the death of her uncle on Facebook earlier.
She wrote: "For the friends of Uncle Bill, AKA Alfie. He passed away this morning surrounded by his family.
"He never complained, was always cheerful and will light up heaven."
Mr Fripp spent Christmas in Royal Bournemouth General Hospital where he was being treated for fluid on his lungs.

Q: The Mercedes driver has been hit with a series of penalties for using too many engine parts.
Hamilton has a 19-point championship lead over team-mate Nico Rosberg.
He said: "I envisage it will be hard to get into the top 10. All I can do is to aim as high as possible. A podium feels unlikely but it's not impossible."
Hamilton said his attempt to fight back through the field would be made more difficult by the fact that the Pirelli tyres are not lasting at the Spa-Francorchamps track.
There are unexpectedly high temperatures at the fast and demanding circuit in the Ardennes mountains this year and high tyre pressures chosen by Pirelli to protect against failures following two high-speed blowouts at last year's race are exacerbating the situation.
"With these tyres the way they are, which is a bit of a mess, it is going to be tough out there for everyone," Hamilton said.
"It's a long race. I don't have to go crazy at the start. That's the same whenever we start at the back.
"There were failures last year and they didn't want failures this year so they put the pressures up to 23, 24psi whatever it is. It's so high. I have never seen pressures like that my whole racing career. That doesn't help."
Hamilton said the problems caused by the tyres would make chasing other cars more difficult. The Pirellis overheat and lose grip if a driver follows another car closely. This has the corollary of reducing the number of laps the tyres can manage.
"It is going to be a very, very hard race," he said. "Being this hot it is going to be hard to follow. Being in the traffic it is going to be hard to get to my stop target, or go longer than the guys in front of me.
"But I hope I prove myself wrong and I hope I'm pleasantly surprised."
Hamilton's remarks on the tyres were echoed by McLaren driver Jenson Button, who said the pressures were "unbelievably high".
"It is amazing what we have to do to get the tyres in the working window," said Button, who starts ninth.
"If you push on the out lap (from the pits), they are done by turn three, blistering and overheating. What we have to do is crazy. I have never had to do this in my career before.
"It's the pressures. It's not helped by the temperatures, but we go to hot countries and Pirelli know that.
"It is shame we are so high on the pressures because we are in a position at the moment with the tyre where you can't push the car. You are just rolling around with the tyre.
"Hopefully with the new tyres for F1 next year it will not be the case because it is not a nice feeling at the moment."
Pirelli has been set the task of providing tyres in 2017 that drivers can push flat out for entire race distances, as opposed to having to lap under the limit to ensure the temperatures remain under control, as is the case currently.

input: Article: Every year on the 25 August his mind fills up with vivid memories of a night as a teenager which he was lucky to survive.
And memories return of all the friends he lost in a fateful minute and a half.
As a 16-year-old, he joined the Merchant Navy and found himself a place as a deck cadet aboard the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company's ship, the Pecten.
He was among crew in August 1940 when it was part of an Atlantic convoy bringing precious wartime fuel oil from the Caribbean back to Britain.
But engine problems meant it was straggling behind the other vessels as it got close to the west coast of Scotland and that proved to be a fatal situation.
"We managed to keep up with them right across but we lost a bit of speed when we came into The Minch," said Mr Carruthers.
"We were about two miles behind the convoy - so we were a sitting duck."
It was a shot which the U-boat U-57 would not miss.
"The ship just moved sideways - it was funny, there was very little noise," Mr Carruthers recalled.
"Sitting in the saloon you just felt the whole ship move sideways and she got two torpedoes in her.
"You realised you had been hit but you did not know how badly."
However, everyone on board - including the young man from Dumfries and Galloway - realised they needed to act quickly.
"My action station was the bridge and the other boys all headed for the cabins to get the emergency gear they had stowed," he said.
"They just got trapped because she sank so quickly that the water would have come in on them."
The teenager found his path to the bridge blocked by a "wall of fire", so he tried another route.
"I got to the captain's cabin - his last order to me was to cut away the starboard lifeboat," he remembered.
"I tried to cut away the lifeboat but by this time I was up to my knees in water.
"I realised that she was sinking very quickly and my life jacket had got caught."
Only by freeing himself from the jacket was he able to get off the ship and fight his way to the surface of the water.
"I knew I had a chance of being picked up because there was a rescue ship allocated to the convoy," he said.
"Whether I could last long enough before I got picked up I didn't know.
"I became a very good swimmer that night."
He reckons he had to stay afloat about three hours before he was eventually found, picked up and ultimately landed in Belfast.
Records show that he was one of just eight survivors from a crew of 57.
"She sank so quickly and rolled that it put the fire out - I was lucky," he said.
"If it hadn't put the fire out I would have burned.
"I later learned from other ships that they reckon from start to finish - from the time she got hit to the time she disappeared - was a minute and a half."
Mr Carruthers went back to sea just a few months later and several more times during the war before being medically discharged.
He received the Atlantic Star and the 1939 to 1945 Star for his efforts during the conflict.
And now, aged 91 at his home in Carrutherstown, he still remembers the night he was lucky to live through.
"What saved me was doing my duty," he said.
"If I had tried to save myself or save anything from my cabin I would have been a goner.
"My job was on the bridge and I tried to get there and that is what saved me."
His voice cracks a little with emotion, though, when he remembers his friends who were not so lucky.
"I lost every mate," he said. "And I lost a very good captain."

input: Article: Prof Christopher Spry, 79, who lives in Heol Senni in the Brecon Beacons, had download speeds of about 500Kbps
He runs a community website and uploads weather data and nature videos, so paid £620 for satellite broadband, which comes from over the Democratic Republic of the Congo, via Luxembourg.
"It's an astonishing technological achievement," he said.
Where Prof Spry lives also has sporadic 3G coverage so he researched his options and decided to invest in satellite technology.
A BT spokesman said: "Heol Senni is in scope to benefit from the scheme and work to provide access to superfast broadband to this rural community is anticipated to be completed in the early autumn."
The retired professor of immunology pays £420 a year for his satellite internet, which gives him download speeds of up to 28Mbps.
His broadband signal travels about 50,000 miles from a dish in his back garden to the ASTRA 2F satellite over the Earth's equator and back, via a company in Luxembourg.
Companies such as Sky also use satellites similar to this to broadcast their TV signal.
"I'm interested in what's going on in the world, I'm a very inquisitive person, I'm asking questions all the time and I need to know so the web is a wonderful resource for all of us who need to know what's happening," he said.
He also pays £250 a year for BT broadband, which he uses as a backup as heavy rain or snow can block the satellite signal and leave him cut off.
But the nearest exchange is in Sennybridge - about five miles by road - so his broadband slows down when making the switch.
"It really makes all the difference in the world, without it I think my life would be quite difficult up here... but it does need a satellite 24,000 miles above the surface of the earth over the Congo - it does seem ridiculous doesn't it," he said.
"Without broadband we're living in a dark age, so let's hope everybody can have high speed broadband soon and they'll be able to use it for whatever they want - entertainment, education, research - it's a wonderful tool for everybody."
Despite his best efforts, nature can still throw a spanner in the works when it comes to his satellite connection: "It's pretty adequate for most of the programmes I need so I'm a happy rabbit - the only difficulty for me is that there's a tree in the way and I have to trim that!"
BT said more than nine out of every 10 homes and businesses in Wales were able to put in an order for superfast broadband.
The Welsh Government also runs a scheme called Access Broadband Cymru which helps provide funds for satellite connectivity for properties not covered by the Superfast Cymru scheme.
Nearly 600 homes and businesses have taken up the option since it started in January 2016.
The UK Government announced on Sunday that homes and businesses from all parts of the UK are set to benefit from universal high speed broadband.

Question:
Article:It argues too much money goes to large-scale farms and says assisting smaller, more diverse farms would help the countryside and rural communities.
At present, farmers get about £3bn a year in subsidies, with the biggest farmers receiving as much as £1m.
The National Farmers' Union said it was wrong to say all big farms were "bad".
The CPRE has set out its vision for the future of agriculture after the UK leaves the European Union in a paper titled New Model Farming.
Farmers currently receive subsidies and other payments under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - but will cease to get EU funding once the UK leaves the EU.
Ministers have promised to maintain EU levels of funding until at least 2020.
What could Brexit mean for farmers?
The grants, which are given for owning land and also taking care of wildlife, can amount to up to 60% of some farmers' income.
Existing level of state aid needed to be justified, and there should be a shift away from giving money to "industrial farms", the CPRE report said.
Such large-scale farms damaged the environment and put smaller farmers out of business, it claimed.
Subsidies should instead be directed towards smaller farms, and land should be made available for new farmers to enter the market, it said.
The charity argued this would benefit the countryside, and help rural communities reconnect with farming.
The National Farmers' Union has welcomed the Treasury's promise to maintain EU levels of farming subsidies until 2020, saying it would give "longer-term confidence" for farming businesses.
Cate Le Grice Mack, from the CPRE, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there had been "a huge decline" in biodiversity in the UK.
She said authorities needed to make sure we are "maximising the potential for our landscape - for food, but also for wildlife and biodiversity".
"What we are saying is that farmers need encouraging and supporting and helping to actually improve the natural landscape.
"They are the people who can do it, they are the people with the skills, this is about encouragement and help."
Minette Batters, deputy president of the NFU - which has launched a month-long consultation of its members on post-Brexit farming policy - said the UK had "incredibly diverse farmers".
"What we cannot say is that big is bad, or small is good", she said.
"The point is we have a very diverse food and farming landscape in this country that the consumer benefits from."
She added: "Farms doors are open, the public can see what is going on and I really do not think we have industrial farming."

Question:
Article:Hugh Blaise O'Neill, 62, had previously admitted indecently assaulting 13 mainly new female recruits, when he was medical adviser to Norfolk Police.
The police assaults took place between 1991 and 2001.
O'Neill had been jailed for 12 years in January 2015 for raping two girls between 1995 and 2002.
Prosecutors at Norwich Crown Court said there had first been complaints of assault made by police recruits in 1993 following medical examinations.
For more on this and other stories visit the BBC Norfolk Live page
Kate Davey, prosecution counsel, said little was done by Norfolk Police, and O'Neill, of Tasburgh near Norwich, carried on abusing females in a "gross and repeated" breach of trust.
She said: "A number of recruits had spoken to each other and to the authorities about what happened.
"Dr O'Neill was told about the claims in 1993, but no further investigations followed.
"It speaks volumes about his attitude that... he carried on abusing women for another nine years."
The force began investigating the crimes against its officers after O'Neill was jailed for the other offences, which related to two girls under the age of 14, but were not connected to his work as a GP at Horsford Medical Centre.
Sentencing him to the additional three years, Judge Anthony Bate said: "You are a disgrace to an honourable profession."
Michael Claire, defence counsel, said his client "continues to deny all matters, but has his own reasons for pleading guilty".
Norfolk Police said another force would carry out a professional standards investigation.
Outside court, Det Supt Kate Thacker said: "There are strong feelings among the victims and we will seek to support them."

Article:Daily CO2 readings at a US government agency lab on Hawaii have topped 400 parts per million for the first time.
Sir Brian Hoskins, the head of climate change at the UK-based Royal Society, said the figure should "jolt governments into action".
China and the US have made a commitment to co-operate on clean technology.
But BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said the EU was backing off the issue, and cheap fossil fuels looked attractive to industries.
The laboratory, which sits on the Mauna Loa volcano, feeds its numbers into a continuous record of the concentration of the gas stretching back to 1958.
Carbon dioxide is regarded as the most important of the manmade greenhouse gases blamed for raising the temperature on the planet over recent decades.
Human sources come principally from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
Ministers in the UK have claimed global leadership in reducing CO2 emissions and urged other nations to follow suit.
But the official Climate Change Committee (CCC) last month said that Britain's total contribution towards heating the climate had increased, because the UK is importing goods that produce CO2 in other countries.
The last time CO2 was regularly above 400ppm was three to five million years ago - before modern humans existed.
Scientists say the climate back then was also considerably warmer than it is today.
Professor Sir Brian Hoskins, director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, said a greater sense of urgency about tackling climate change was needed.
"Before we started influencing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, over the last million years it went between about 180 and 280 parts per million," he said.
"Now, since the Industrial Revolution and more in the last 50 years, we've taken that level up by more than 40% to a level of 400 and that hasn't been seen on this planet for probably four million years.
"But around the world, there are things happening, it's not all doom and gloom," he added.
"China is doing a lot. Its latest five year plan makes really great strides."
China's plan for 2011-2015 includes reversing the damage done by 30 years of growth and increasing the use of renewable energy.

Iranian billionaire Moshiri, 60, has bought a 49.9% stake in the Toffees.
Martinez says his aims as Everton boss have always been to qualify for the Champions League and win silverware.
"With a new investor and fresh blood into our club, all of a sudden you have a new opportunity to get to those aspirations quicker," he said.
"The chairman and myself will embrace that pressure and that need of delivering the right outcome as we have a strong belief in what we are doing."
Martinez said Moshiri's investment was a "big moment in the club's history".
He added: "Farhad Moshiri will bring us a different dimension. The vision he is sharing will take Everton to the next level - and every single department will be assessed."
Everton are 12th in the Premier League and through to the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they will host Chelsea on Saturday, 12 March.
They lost to eventual winners Manchester City in the League Cup semi-finals.
Moshiri, who sold his stake in Arsenal to business partner Alisher Usmanov so he could buy into Everton, has a net worth estimated at £1.3bn.
"I met Moshiri and the impression I got was of a gentlemen with values who knows the Premier League inside out," said Martinez.
"You can get businessmen who don't understand it but this is not the case. I think he has fallen in love with what Everton means.
"This is the start of a new era with an incredible drive. As a human being and as a winner, Moshiri is the perfect person to come into Everton."

Q: Dolly Shivani Cherukuri from Vijaywada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh - who turns three next week - became the youngest Indian to score more than 200 points at a trial event on Tuesday, reports the Press Trust of India.
She fired 36 arrows at a target 5m away, then again at a target 7m away, making a total of 388 points.
Her achievement was witnessed by senior sports personalities and India Book of Records officials.
"We are all very proud of her. We are very impressed," Archery Association of India official Gunjan Abrol told the BBC.
Dolly was conceived through surrogacy after the death of her brother, international archer and coach Cherukuri Lenin, in a road accident in 2010 reports said.
Her father, Cherukuri Satyanarayana, said she had been trained since birth to be a champion.
"When we came to know that the baby was on her way we decided to mould her as an archer," news agency AFP quoted Mr Satyanarayana, who runs an archery academy in Vijaywada, as saying.
"The preparations started when she was in the womb itself," he added.
Mr Satyanarayana said they had arrows specially made for the toddler out of carbon when she was first learning the sport to ensure they were light enough for her to carry.
Archery experts say children are trained on lighter bows and Mr Abrol says Dolly's bow would also have been very light.
"You can't put too much pressure on children, they can be trained for a maximum of two or three hours a day," he said. "But Dolly comes from a family of archers so she's capable of a lot."
Photographs released by India Book of Records showed the toddler posing with her gold medal and certificate.
"My daughter achieved the feat we have been dreaming... I can't express in words how happy my family is," Mr Satyanarayana told PTI.
He said they would now try to get Dolly's name entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.
A: A two-year-old Indian girl has set a new national record in archery, according to the India Book of Records.
Q: Announcing his bid on Saturday, he said the seat voted "overwhelmingly" for Leave in the EU referendum last year.
The constituency, held by the Conservatives in 2015 with UKIP second, recorded the highest Leave vote, with 75.6% choosing to leave the EU.
Mr Nuttall said he would make it his "mission" to "ensure there is no backsliding on Brexit".
He had said on Friday that he would do his "duty to lead the party into battle" and stand for election, but at that time refused to confirm speculation he would stand in the Lincolnshire constituency.
Mr Nuttall had been due to make a speech in Hartlepool on Saturday as part of the election campaign, but a party spokesman said it had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances".
Police said two women, aged 28 and 62, were arrested on suspicion of assault after an altercation broke out as supporters of the party waited for Mr Nuttall to arrive.
The party leader said: "It is a great honour and a privilege to stand for UKIP in Boston and Skegness.
"The constituency voted overwhelmingly for Leave inspired in part by the massive betrayal of our fishing industry by successive governments, something that today's Conservative Party led by Theresa May looks set to repeat.
"I will make it my mission to stand up for the people of Boston and Skegness and ensure there is no backsliding on Brexit."
Mr Nuttall has said UKIP would be "standing in the vast majority of the country", but that he had asked "a number" of branches to consider not standing in areas currently represented by prominent Leave campaigners from all parties, if they were at risk from a challenge by a pro-Remain candidate.
His predecessor Nigel Farage would "play a front-of-house role in this election", Mr Nuttall has said.
He said he believed the party was "in with a chance of winning a number of seats at this election".
Conservative MP Matt Warman won the seat of Boston and Skegness with a majority of more than 4,000 in the last election.
UKIP won 3.9m votes in 2015, which resulted in only one seat.

Q: The claims against the publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror and the People were filed at the High Court on Monday.
Mr Eriksson's claim relates to a time when Piers Morgan edited the Daily Mirror. Mr Morgan denies phone hacking.
Trinity Mirror, which owns Mirror Group, declined to comment. Meanwhile, shares in Trinity Mirror fell by 12.5%.
The three other claimants are Coronation Street actress Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan; Abbie Gibson, a former nanny for the Beckham family; and Garry Flitcroft, the former captain of Blackburn Rovers football team.
However, a spokesman for the Mirror Group said it was "unaware" action had been taken at the High Court.
Until now, the UK phone-hacking scandal has centred on Rupert Murdoch's News International and its now closed News of the World newspaper.
This is the first legal action in the scandal against another newspaper group.
BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman says if there is any substance to the claims then it would be a major development.
He says the claims are similar in type to those brought against News International.
So far, more than 200 people have brought civil claims against that company, with 155 currently before the High Court. About 60 have already been settled.
Our correspondent says that the claim from Mr Eriksson, who was England manager between 2000 and 2006 and later managed Manchester City and Leicester City, is said to relate to a time when Mr Morgan was the editor of the Daily Mirror. He was editor between 1995 and 2004.
Mr Morgan, who is now a chat show host for US broadcaster CNN, was questioned about phone hacking during his appearance at the Leveson Inquiry, the independent probe set up by the government into the phone-hacking scandal.
During his appearance, he repeated his denials of any knowledge or involvement in the illegal practice.
Our correspondent says civil cases have been absolutely critical to "cracking open the entire story" of phone hacking after the criminal justice system had "effectively shut down" when private investigator Glenn Mulcaire and ex-News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman were jailed for hacking in 2007.
The civil cases forced parties to disclose evidence that "blew away" News International's claim that the practice was down to one rogue reporter, resulting in the reopening of the Met Police investigation into hacking and later the initiation of the Leveson Inquiry.
Mark Lewis, solicitor for the claimants, told the BBC that he would not be revealing what level of financial compensation his clients were seeking.

Question:
Article:The pup, who has been named Barnacle was less than a week old when he was spotted by painters at the lighthouse.
Donna de Gruchy, British Divers Marine Life Rescue's Jersey co-ordinator, said he was too young to swim and should have still been in his mother's care.
She said he was in good health apart from some light grazing on his head, chin and front flipper.
When his mother failed to show rescuers took him to a local vet.
Ian Cox, from New Era veterinary practice where the pup was taken, said: "It is a very young pup and that's why it's got the white fur.
"It tends to be when there's quite stormy weather the pups will get into trouble and they do get very tired, very hungry and very dehydrated and they just wouldn't survive without assistance."
Barnacle is being flown to RSPCA West Hatch in Somerset on Friday. He will be raised there until he is old enough and strong enough to be released back into the wild, Ms de Gruchy said.

input: Article: Former Barclays traders Ryan Reich and Stelios Contogoulas are accused of conspiracy to defraud by rigging Libor.
The Libor rate is meant to track how much banks pay to borrow cash from each other.
But the jury at Southwark Crown Court has heard that it could be manipulated.
To arrive at Libor, which stands for London Interbank Offered Rate, banks every day would make submissions stating what interest rate they thought they would have to pay and an average was taken and published.
What is the Libor scandal?
The jury has heard that banks also had large trading positions which would make or lose money according to the movements of the Libor average.
The traders are accused of making inappropriate requests to Barclays' submitters between 2005 and 2007, asking them to put in submissions that were higher or lower to nudge the average up or down.
John Ewan, former Libor manager at the British Bankers Association (BBA), agreed in court that a bank could be "perfectly entitled" to ask for a lower rate as long as it was within a range of interest rates at which the bank might borrow cash.
Mr Ewan was asked about the case of a senior Barclays manager who was told by a Libor submitter that the range of interest rates at which the bank might borrow was between 5.10% and 5.25%.
If it put in a higher rate, the senior manager feared the bank might "get slaughtered in the press".
Asked if the rate would still be accurate if he then asked for the submitter to put in a rate at the lower end of the range, 5.10%, Mr Ewan said: "It is in line with the definition at the time, yes."
Representing Ryan Reich, Adrian Darbishire QC presented Mr Ewan with evidence from 2006, 2007 and 2008 of banks putting in submissions not based purely on the cost of borrowing cash.
In an email cited in court from 3 September 2007, Mr Ewan told BBA colleagues banks were putting in submissions which "ran contrary to the definition of Libor, which insists that rates are based on the interbank market".
"It is a dirty little secret that this is not always the case," he wrote.
The court also heard a transcript of a telephone conversation from 29 November 2007 where Mr Ewan discussed with a senior Barclays executive, Miles Storey, how banks were borrowing at a high interest rate but making submissions that said they could borrow at a lower one.
"The divergence between where people are posting them for whatever reasons and where they are actually trading is beginning to sort of creep out of the woodwork," Mr Storey said.
Later in the conversation, Mr Storey also told Mr Ewan: "Manipulation, for whatever reason, is going to come out."
Mr Darbishire asked Mr Ewan: "If a [bank] can borrow in reasonable market size at any one of a wide range of offered rates, then it is not false or inconsistent with the definition for the bank to base its response, in other words its submission, on the lowest of those rates?"
"No," said Mr Ewan.
"Or the highest one or any other arbitrary selection from among them?"
"That's right."
The case continues.

output: A prosecution witness in the trial of two bankers for manipulating Libor interest rates has accepted banks could put rates higher or lower without necessarily breaking the rules.
Walsh had been in contract negotiations with the IABA but on Monday he stepped down after 12 years in the post to take up a new position in the United States.
"Regrettably the IABA have not made it possible for me to continue on in the role," said Walsh.
Ireland won Olympic, World and European gold medals at amateur level during Walsh's successful period as coach.
Belfast pair Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan were among the many Irish boxers to blossom under the guidance of Walsh.

"Since February of this year I have been engaged in a process with the IABA to secure my future as Head Coach with the High Performance Unit and senior team," added Walsh.
"A protracted process that went on for eight months included numerous high level meetings that resulted in various proposals.
"In August a fair proposal was developed under the auspices of the Irish Sports Council (ISC) that was acceptable and fair but then not subsequently ratified by IABA.
"I was hopeful in recent weeks that a final proposal arising out of an approach in late September by the IABA would lead to a successful conclusion but unfortunately it didn't."
"I am greatly looking forward to the opportunities ahead in bringing my expertise and experience to the USA Women's Team as they prepare for success in Rio and beyond."
In a statement, Sport Ireland said it was "extremely disappointed" to learn that Walsh had decided to step down, adding that it had "made every effort within its authority to resolve this issue".
"Billy Walsh has overseen an unprecedented period of success in Irish Boxing including, most recently, at the World Senior Championships. Sport Ireland is deeply appreciative of his contribution and wishes him well in his future. The USA's gain is Ireland's loss," read the statement.
"As the legal employer it was a matter for the IABA to resolve and it insisted on its autonomy to negotiate with their Head Coach. Sport Ireland was unequivocal in its desire to keep Billy Walsh in Irish sport and communicated clearly to the IABA that every support would be provided in order to retain him at the High Performance Unit of the IABA.
"This position was strongly supported by the Minister for Sport, Michael Ring, who met with representatives of the IABA on three occasions to facilitate an agreement and by Sport Ireland who met the IABA on several occasions."
Fergal Carruth, Chief Executive of the IABA said: "The IABA has been in discussions with Billy following his approach to the organisation to seek improved terms and conditions after he stated that he had received an offer from USA Boxing.
"The IABA is deeply disappointed not to retain his valued services, and for the avoidance of any doubt, the IABA has done its utmost to retain Billy Walsh as Head Coach. However, Billy himself has made the decision to resign and take up a position with USA Boxing, and we wish him every success with this."

input: Article: Scotland international Morrison, 30, was due to be a free agent on 1 July but has agreed a new initial two-year deal at the Premier League club.
"I thought long and hard and spoke to the chairman many times," Morrison told BBC WM.
"It helped make my mind up and it was a big decision but I'm delighted."
Darlington-born Morrison's new contract - which has an option for a further twelve months - will take his time with Baggies to more than a decade, having joined from Middlesbrough in August 2007.
Having missed the last three months of last season though injury, Morrison admits he thought hard about which direction his future was going to take.
"I didn't like how it ended last season, just walking round the pitch and then out the door - I've worked too hard over the last nine years to give it away like that," he said.
"I've got an opportunity make it a bit more positive and I'm motivated to do that.
"The chairman's said he's planning to bring more players in and try to kick on up the league and I bought into his vision and his plans and I want to be part of that."

output: Long-serving midfielder James Morrison says the "vision" of chairman Jeremy Peace was the main reason he signed a new contract at West Brom.
Question:
Article:Speaking alongside David Cameron at the White House, Mr Obama said it was up to the British people to decide the matter but EU membership was an "expression" of the UK's global influence.
The PM said his plan to renegotiate the UK's EU membership with a referendum by the end of 2017 had "strong support".
Mr Cameron's strategy has faced criticism from some in his party.
Ahead of his White House talks Mr Cameron rounded on senior Conservatives wanting to leave the European Union, accusing them of "throwing in the towel" before negotiations had even started.
He called the position held by former cabinet ministers Lord Lawson and Michael Portillo "very, very strange".
Seventy MPs have now backed calls for a vote on an EU referendum on Wednesday.
The US president was asked about the growing number of senior Conservatives openly discussing the prospect of the UK leaving the EU and what this would mean for UK-US relations.
By James LandaleDeputy political editor
Q&A: Tory row over an EU referendum
He told reporters that Mr Cameron's "basic point that you probably want to see if you can fix what is broken in a very important relationship before you break it off - that makes some sense to me".
The US had a "special relationship" with the UK and an "active, robust, outward-looking" Britain that was "engaged with the world" helped underpin this partnership, he suggested.
"The UK's participation in the EU is an expression of its influence and its role in the world as well as obviously a very important economic partnership," he added.
Mr Obama said he awaited the outcome of "tough negotiations" about the EU's future with interest, noting that the PM had been "very active" in pushing for structural reforms.
He also said he strongly supported a free trade deal between the EU and the US - discussed by the two leaders.
Mr Cameron said his European policy was driven by the national interest and he strongly believed that changing the UK's status within the EU was "achievable".
He said holding a referendum now, as some of his MPs are demanding, would amount to a "false choice" between the status quo and withdrawal. "That is not a choice the British people want or deserve," he added.
The PM's US trip comes as MPs have signed an amendment to the motion welcoming the Queen's Speech, in which they express "regret" about the absence of legislation paving the way for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.
There has been a growing number of Conservatives calling for a firming up of the PM's pledge to renegotiate the UK's relations with the EU and to put membership to the public in a referendum by the end of 2017 if the Tories win the next election.
Others have gone further, with former cabinet minister Lord Lawson saying any gains from the renegotiations would be "inconsequential", while ex-defence secretary Michael Portillo has also advocated leaving the EU.
Mr Cameron said: "The point I would make to these people is that you shouldn't give up before a negotiation has started.
"It seems to be an extraordinary way to go about things... the idea of throwing in the towel before the negotiations even started, I think, is a very very strange opinion."
On Sunday Education Secretary Michael Gove and Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond said they would vote to leave the EU if there were a referendum now, a position echoed by ex-Scottish secretary Lord Forsyth on the BBC's Daily Politics on Monday.
Asked about their comments, Mr Cameron said: "Well there isn't going to be a referendum tomorrow so it's a hypothetical question."
The prime minister has said he would campaign to stay within the EU if he was able to secure a new relationship.
A group of Conservative backbenchers, led by John Baron, has been campaigning for him to legislate in the current Parliament for a referendum.
The Commons amendment is highly unlikely to be passed, because Labour, the Lib Dems and many Conservatives will vote against it or abstain.
But Tory MP Gavin Barwell, one of five Conservative ministerial aides so far to say they will vote for the amendment, said he "completely trusted the PM" but the electorate did not trust politicians in general.
"What we need to do is to convince a sceptical electorate that we actually mean it," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"A very effective way of doing that would be to bring forward legislation, so we can go back to our constituents and say, look if you vote Conservative at the next election here is a guarantee that we will get a referendum."
But pro-European Conservative MPs have hit back, with Robert Buckland urging his colleagues to refrain from "irrelevant and arcane arguments" and to leave the prime minister to "get on with the job" of defending UK interests.
And Nicholas Soames said a future decision on the UK's relationship with the EU should be decided by an "orderly process" and not by "prejudice or pub rhetoric".
Labour opposes the decision to announce a referendum four years early, but is not ruling out the possibility of one in the future.
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the economy, not Europe, was the "biggest problem" facing the country but a group of Labour MPs and peers, including the former Europe minister Keith Vaz, are calling for their party to support a referendum.
Lib Dem leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has criticised his larger Conservative coalition partners for their "endless navel-gazing over Europe", which he said was in danger of distracting the government from its priorities.
The leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage, told the BBC's Daily Politics that he was "open minded" about backing at the next election some Conservative or Labour MPs who wanted UK withdrawal from the EU.
He said there had already been some talks with individual local associations, now it was lawful for candidates to have two parties' logos on their ballot papers.

Problem: Article: Matthew and Nawwar Bryant said Zachary, a "loving, happy, and perfect little baby", was the light of their lives.
"He leaves us with the best three months and 14 days of wonderful memories spent in this world," they said in a statement.
A man has been charged with five murders over the incident on Friday.
Dimitrious Gargasoulas, 26, was remanded in custody on Monday to face a court hearing in August.
Police allege he deliberately drove a car into pedestrians in Bourke St Mall in central Melbourne, killing five people and injuring 37 others.
Three of those killed have been identified as Thalia Hakin, 10, Jess Mudie, 22, and Matthew Si, 33. Another victim, a 25-year-old man from Japan, has not been named.
Zachary's two-year-old sister, Zara, was also injured in the incident and remains in a stable condition.
"Zac, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and always will," the Bryants said, as they released photos of their two children.
Thousands of mourners attended a public vigil in central Melbourne on Monday night.
The city's Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, thanked the crowd for its support following "an unthinkable act".

Problem: Article: The vote went through by a two-thirds majority in a congress dominated by his supporters.
He has been in power since 2005, but the amendment discounts his first two terms, as those elections took place under a previous constitution.
The amendment is to go to a national referendum next February.
Speaking in New York where he has been participating in a meeting of the UN General Assembly, Mr Morales said he had been invited to extend his term in office.
"It's the feeling of the people, even of Congress; I understand perfectly. I'm not trying to stay in power forever. I also want to tell you, some have said, 'Evo forever'."
Mr Morales has said that he wants to complete his government's "Patriotic Agenda" by taking action on "13 pillars of action" by 2025.
They include the eradication of extreme poverty, ensuring health and education for all and ensuring Bolivia has an independent financial system and national control over food production and the exploitation of national resources.
Above all, Mr Morales has put at the centre of national life the culture and ideology of the Andean indigenous majority - he himself is an Aymaran indian.
He won a landslide victory in elections last year and his party, the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) dominates Congress.
Opponents of Mr Morales have protested that the constitutional reform is an attempt by the government to undermine democracy.
There were protests in Congress on Saturday from opposition parties during the debates in the lead-up to the vote.
Mr Morales is one of the most popular presidents in the world, with ratings standing at over 70%.

Problem: Article: Her comments come in the midst of a national debate about changing the law to allow same-sex marriage.
Her back flip has sparked criticism on social media and from some politicians who say she could have taken action when she was in power.
In 2012, during her leadership, Ms Gillard voted against a private member's bill allowing gay marriages.
The former Labor leader now says the debate on the issue has caused her to "re-examine some fundamental assumptions I have held".
In a lecture she gave on Wednesday night at Victoria University, Ms Gillard said her feminist views had led her to question "from a gender perspective" the value of traditional marriage.
"The nature of Australia's contemporary debate on same-sex marriage has caused me to re-examine some fundamental assumptions I have held," she said.
"In my time post-politics, as key countries have moved to embrace same-sex marriage, I have identified that my preferred reform direction was most assuredly not winning hearts and minds."
In 2011, Ms Gillard said in a TV interview "there are some important things from our past that need to continue to be part of our present and part of our future".
"For our culture, for our heritage, the Marriage Act and marriage being between a man and a woman has a special status," she said.
Cabinet minister Christopher Pyne said on Thursday he never really believed Ms Gillard's previous stance.
"Knowing her background and history from student politics, I was always very surprised she was against marriage equality, and quite frankly I didn't believe it," Mr Pyne told the Seven Network.
Another private member's bill, put forward by a Government backbencher, is currently before the parliament but the Coalition government's official position is to leave the Marriage Act unchanged.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has banned his MPs from a free vote on any same-sex marriage bill but suggested a non-binding plebiscite could he held after a general election in 2016.

A police officer was also injured in the incident in Ferry Lane in Tottenham Hale on Thursday evening.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been called in to investigate the death and it said a firearm had been recovered.
It is thought the officer, who was taken to hospital and later discharged, was shot first but this is not known for certain, an IPCC spokesman said.
In a statement, the IPCC said: "It is understood that the shooting followed an MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] operation."
The Metropolitan Police would not confirm if the man had been shot by a police officer.
A Scotland Yard spokesman added: "One male was pronounced dead at the scene and one officer was taken to hospital."
Local resident David Akinsanya said he arrived at the scene moments after the incident.
He said he was told by a witness that a police officer had shouted to the man to stop "a couple of times", but the man had not heeded the warning.
The witness, who lives next to the spot where it happened, then heard four shots, Mr Akinsanya said.
"There were lots of helicopters and sirens all over the place," he added.
"There was also a surveillance van on the corner."
A waitress at a nearby pub, who did not wish to be identified, said the incident had happened a few minutes' walk from Tottenham Hale station.
She said: "One man came in and he said that he saw police trying to pull some clothes off a man who was bleeding."
Another worker said there were "lots of cars" around the scene.
Police have taped off a large area and Ferry Lane remains closed.
David Lammy, Labour's MP for Tottenham, said he was "shocked and deeply worried" about the attack.
"I think there's quite a lot of anxiety now in the community, but we should try to stay calm and not rush to judgement," he said.
"We need to understand what has happened.
"I hope that the IPCC can move quickly to allay fears and rumours that can circulate in these circumstances."

Keighley Cougars' biggest crowd since 1995 paid tribute to stand-off Danny Jones at Cougar Park.
+++++++
A: Media playback is not supported on this device
The League One game with Coventry was Keighley's first since Wales international Jones collapsed at London Skolars last Saturday and later died aged 29 because of a heart condition.
His wife, Lizzie, and the couple's five-month-old twins, Bobby and Phoebe went onto the field prior to kick-off.
"The club doesn't know what has hit it," said chairman Gary Fawcett.
Player-coach Paul March has set Keighley the task of winning the League One title in Jones's honour.
A statement was read out on Lizzie's behalf prior to the game, then another from Jones's family, both thanking the Keighley club and the rugby league community as a whole for the support they have shown in the most awful of circumstances.
A crowd of 4,066 watched the game and a bucket collection in aid of Jones' family raised more than £10,000.
"We have kept busy, which has minimised the tears," said Fawcett.
"It was uncertain the game would be played, but Lizzie insisted. She said it is what Danny would have wanted."
Jones was best man at the wedding of Cougar prop Scott Law.
"After last week I wasn't thinking about playing," said Law.
"I just wanted to get away and clear my head. But when Lizzie said she was coming I felt I should play. It is still so fresh.
"Danny was at the centre of everything, in the changing room and when we used to have lads' holidays. It is when we come to do things like that, and he is not there when it will probably hit us the most.
"It is hard."
Sunday's 52-10 win put Keighley top of the table with a 100% record and player-coach March said: "Life is so cruel at times. We are going to feel grief for a long time and events will trigger a reaction in some of them.
"But our goal was always to win this league, even though we know it will be harder without him."

Fawcett has set an ambitious fund-raising target of £1m, with a succession of events to be held prior to the last game, between a Keighley Select XIII and Wales at Cougar Park on 25 October.
"Those kids are going to go through life not knowing their father," said Fawcett. "They need support.
"I believe we can maintain six months of intensity. The First Minister of Wales has been in contact and I am also wanting help from rugby league, as a sport, and professional football because this is a sports issue and Fabrice Muamba [retired professional footballer] suffered from the same thing."
Coventry Bears' players are understood to have donated their match fee for the game to the fund-raising effort while the entire Keighley team was named man of the match in tribute to their former team-mate.

Ashley Williams grew up supporting England but will lead out Wales in Thursday's Euro 2016 'Battle of Britain' in the biggest game between two of football's oldest rivals.
+++++++
A: But why the 31-year-old defender lines up wearing the Welsh dragon, not the Three Lions of England, is an extraordinary coincidence and thanks to the inquisitive detective skills of former Wales youth coach Brian Flynn.
"I was playing for Stockport County," Wolverhampton-born Williams recalled. "Luckily we had [Wales goalkeeper] Wayne Hennessey on loan, so Brian Flynn came to watch.
"He liked me during the game and recognised that I had a Welsh surname.
"Then Wales called Stockport to check if 'Williams' had any Welsh roots and they asked me and I said 'yes'.
"Then I got the call-up by the manager John Toshack."
Williams, the former Drayton Manor Park fairground worker, has certainly enjoyed a 'Roy of The Rovers' career from non-league part-timer at Hednesford Town to being one of the Premier League's best defenders and a League Cup-winning captain.
Former England captain Rio Ferdinand has wondered why a top club has not attempted to prise Williams from Swansea City and many pundits would argue that Wales' 'Mr Dependable' will be the finest defender on show in Thursday's crucial Group B fixture.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Williams acknowledges he dreamed of starring at a major tournament when he was growing up in the West Midlands - but envisaged it being with Wales' fiercest rivals and opponents on Thursday.
"I did grow up in England and followed the England football team," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"It is a bit strange for me, but I am the captain of Wales, all my loyalties lie with Wales and the football team.
"Wales was not on my radar - I can't say it was. I never imagined when I was growing up being at a major tournament as anything other than a fan.
"My grandad on my mother's side was Welsh and I am very grateful for that. It is all I have known for ages.
"Mum and dad are really proud. I have lived in Wales for nine years now and every time I play for Wales and the national anthem is played, my mother gets emotional.
"A few of my English friends now support Wales and then there are a few who support England who want tickets, but I have told them none of them can have tickets just to watch England!"
Williams wasn't just missed by England. He was also released by West Bromwich Albion as a 16-year-old and waited on tables before his big professional chance with Stockport.
Flynn's investigative nature transformed Williams' career and life.
Within 48 hours of his Wales debut in Luxembourg in March 2008, Williams had signed for Swansea and was about to start a journey that would take him from League One to the Europa League and Euro 2016.
Leading Wales in their first major finals since the 1958 World Cup is among Williams' "proudest moments".
But his European Championship debut looked as if it would end prematurely as he started limping in the second half of Saturday's memorable win over Slovakia.
The Swans centre-back took a kick to the leg during the 2-1 victory in Bordeaux.
Williams finished the game but required treatment to ease swelling although he insists "it's fine" for Thursday's meeting with the land of his father.
Williams' appearance history suggests he, of all players, will proudly lead out his adopted nation in arguably the biggest game in their history in Lens.
For a start, no-one has played more Premier League games since Swansea's promotion in 2011 than Williams.
England goalkeeper Joe Hart is the only one that comes close.
And the man hailed as Wales' Mr Indestructible has missed just eight Wales games in eight years since his first cap 59 games ago - and only two of those absences were because of injury.
"I could never have imagined being in this position when I was down in the lower leagues," admitted Williams.
"I am looking forward to it massively. We have all worked so hard to get to this point."
And none work harder than the captain, Wales' own West Midlands warrior.

English Heritage has been given £80m in the government's Spending Review as part of plans for the organisation to become a charity by 2015.
+++++++
A: | The new charity will manage the National Heritage Collection, which includes Stonehenge and Dover Castle.
The government currently contributes £22m annually towards the collection. The aim is for the charity to eventually become self sufficient.
Other powers such as listing buildings will remain government funded.
The new official body, which will also advise on planning, has a working name of the National Heritage Protection Service.
The new charity will still be called English Heritage and the 420 sites in the National Heritage Collection - which include London's Kenwood House, and Charles Darwin's home in Kent - will remain in public ownership.
Government funding for the charity will be tapered down from 2015 eventually to nothing, meaning it will have more freedom than now to generate income from commercial activities and philanthropic donations.
Some of the £80m awarded by the government will help to set up the charity so it will be fully operational by March 2015.
In a statement, the government agency described the planned changes, which will be subject to a consultation, as "an excellent outcome".
"This year we have been celebrating 100 years of state protection for heritage and today's announcement sets the scene for the next century.
"The government's £80m investment and the creation of the new charity will help us preserve the National Heritage Collection for the future, be true to the story of the places we look after, to aim for the highest standards in everything we do from our conservation work to the way we run our events and to provide an experience that brings the story of England alive."
The announcement came as the government said there would be cuts of up to 5% in funding for museums and the arts in the Spending Review for 2015-2016. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | fs_noopt | 9 | train | 219 |

Problem: The goal is to develop such "skin" to monitor oxygen levels in organs during surgery, say researchers in Japan.
Tests on volunteers found the "skin" provided stable measurements of oxygen concentration in blood.
The device contains micro-electronic components that light up in red, blue and green on the surface of the body.
Scientists at the University of Tokyo are working on ways to display numbers and letters on the skin for health monitoring purposes.
Wearable electronics are a future growth area in research, with interest in medical applications such as contact lenses that monitor glucose levels, or smart glasses.
The latest findings are revealed in Science Advances.
"The device unobtrusively measures the oxygen concentration of blood when laminated on a finger," said lead researcher Tomoyuki Yokota and colleagues.
He added: "Ultimately, flexible organic optical sensors may be directly laminated on organs to monitor the blood oxygen level during and after surgery."

Flynn secured League Two survival having taken over as caretaker when County were 11 points adrift of safety.
The 36-year-old wants the job on a permanent basis and will have talks with the club's board this week.
"We just need to sort a few things out with him," Foxall told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales.
"I would have thought it would be very difficult for any of the directors to walk around Newport if Michael didn't get the job."
Former Newport midfielder Flynn replaced the sacked Graham Westley as County manager in March with the club bottom of League Two.
County won seven of their final 12 games, including a dramatic 2-1 win over Notts County on the final day of the season kept them in League Two at the expense of Hartlepool United.

Johnson added: "He apologised nicely and I let him off and hopefully if he puts in the performances I think he is going to put in he will more than make up for it."
Johnson is excited about the impact the former Bristol Rovers, Hereford, AFC Wimbledon and Eastleigh player can have at the club, who were relegated to the Conference at the end of the season.
"Over the years as I watched him as a teenager at Hereford I thought he had an old head on young shoulders," he said.
"Because of that I followed his path, some clubs he done OK at and some he didn't do what I think he can produce and maybe a different manager can bring out the best out of him. That's what he needs, a manager who can link with him.
"He is a very good athlete, a big fellow at six feet, four inches.
"He will be imposing and we have to make sure he is does a lot in both penalty areas. He can dictate a game if he wants because he has that ability and personality and the big thing for me is he is a winner."

Text: At least 4,000 people are besieged in the town by Syrian government forces.
Speaking in Geneva, UN emergency relief co-ordinator Stephen O'Brien said the Syrian government had ignored "countless" requests for aid to be allowed in.
Residents of the town last received a delivery of aid in November 2012.
UN officials were able to make a needs assessment earlier this month, and found a severe lack of food and medicine and near complete destruction of the water supply, leading to shortages of safe drinking water.
The town's electricity supply was cut off more than three years ago.
"We will continue to press the Syrian authorities relentlessly for us to have that safe unimpeded access to Daraya," Mr O'Brien said.

The UN says Syria's shaky cessation of hostilities has allowed significant aid to 12 of 18 other besieged areas, the most recent being this week to the northern town of Rastan, whose 120,000 people had received no aid for over a year.
Almost half a million people live under siege in Syria, the UN estimates. Last week, relief agencies evacuated 500 wounded people from four besieged Syrian towns, in what has been described as the largest such operation so far in the five-year conflict.
Half were brought out from towns blockaded by pro-government forces, and half from towns blocked off by rebels.
Meanwhile, peace talks that restarted in Geneva earlier this month are in difficulty. It is not clear whether a partial truce that has so far lasted eight weeks will hold.
Opposition representatives walked out of the talks last week, blaming government violations of the ceasefire.

The move follows a police operation that uncovered hundreds of undocumented migrants.
Many unemployed South Africans accuse foreigners of taking their jobs in a country where the unemployment rate is 24%.
Mozambique's government said it was surprised by the deportations.
"We expected to hold talks with the South Africans to discuss the problem, but we just saw people being arrested," said Foreign Minister Oldemiro Baloi.
A wave of xenophobic attacks in April left at least seven people dead, including one Mozambican.
Mobs targeted workers from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Mozambique and other African countries.
Correspondents say that although South African authorities condemned the violence, they have also sought to address complaints about foreigners working illegally in the country.
Officials have strongly denied that the police operation targeted foreigners.
A government statement on Sunday said that more than 3,900 people, including 1,650 illegal immigrants, had been arrested since April's clashes.
"We are satisfied that we have stabilised the situation and further loss of life has been prevented," the statement said.
"Security agencies continue to work around the clock to protect both foreign nationals and South African citizens against any attacks."
Many of the deported Mozambicans have been housed in tents in a transit centre near the capital Maputo.
When violence erupted, Mozambique set up border camps to cope with the exodus of its citizens.
Jose Macuacua said he had entered South Africa illegally and had lived there for two years selling mobile phone SIM cards.
"The police first asked for my ID, which I didn't have," he said, adding that he hadn't been allowed to gather his belongings before he was taken to a repatriation centre.
Maria da Gloria Mathe said she and her husband had lived in the city of Rustenburg for four years selling clothes.
"We collected what we could in a hurry because the police were standing at the door of our shop," she said.
South African President Jacob Zuma described last month's violence as "shocking" and appealed for calm.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini was accused of fuelling the attacks by saying that foreigners should "go back to their countries". However, he said his comments had been distorted.

Write an article based on this "Typhoon fighter jets should be fitted with collision warning devices to avoid a "catastrophic" mid-air crash, the UK's military aviation watchdog has warned the Ministry of Defence." | The Military Aviation Authority (MAA) said a crash between a Typhoon and a commercial jet was "improbable" but could cause "substantial loss of life".
Collision avoidance systems should be installed "with full haste", it said.
The Ministry of Defence said programmes to fit the systems had begun.
The MAA's advice follows a critical report issued last year into a mid-air collision between two RAF Tornados over the Moray Firth, off the coast of Caithness.
Three men were killed and another seriously injured in the incident in 2012.
Accident investigators concluded that the lack of a collision warning system onboard had contributed to the accident.
The MAA's annual air safety report published on Wednesday praised "good progress" by the MoD overall, but said failure to upgrade safety equipment on Typhoons was "unsustainable".
The director general of the MAA, Air Marshal Richard Garwood, said anti-collision software should also be fitted to the new F35 fighter.
AM Garwood said there were "well documented failings over the fitment of an airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) to Tornado GR4".
He added: "In the worst case, which is judged improbable but catastrophic, a Typhoon colliding with commercial air traffic could result in severe consequences for the MoD because of the likely substantial third party loss of life."
Such a crash, he warned, could result in more than 50 deaths, and "would have adverse repercussions for the institution responsible, in this case the government of the day".
AM Garwood said: "Ultimately, the Typhoon will be in service for many years, and if the MoD elects not to fit an ACAS, the decision will need to be well documented and the risk held at the highest levels of defence."
The MoD said a collision avoidance system was being fitted to the Tornado GR4, the type of aircraft involved in the 2012 crash.
Work was also under way to have a system developed for Typhoons, the MoD said.
It added that "further technologies" and "planned upgrades" were proposed for the new F35 fighter.
An MoD spokesman said: "The department has welcomed the MAA's report, and is acting upon its comments and recommendations.
"Air safety is at the core of all our aviation activity and we take very seriously our obligations to our people and the wider community to ensure that our activities are both as safe as reasonably practicable and comply with relevant policy and legislation."
SNP Westminster leader and Defence spokesperson, Angus Robertson MP - whose constituency includes RAF Lossiemouth, home of Tornados and now Typhoons said: "This is a hugely damning report for the MoD.
"Twenty years after it was proven and recommended that these systems would save lives they remain to this day uninstalled.
"It is clear that the MoD with its cavalier approach to safety has learned no lessons as it has not even made the systems mandatory on new fast jets it acquires, while it drags its feet installing them on the ones they use already." | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_noopt | 9 | train | 219 |
Summarize this article in one sentence.
The sub-dollar level is unusual even in the US, where the average national price on Sunday was $1.89, according to the American Automobile Association.
But the steep drop in Michigan is indicative of the struggle engulfing the oil industry in the US and globally. Growing competition, excess supply and shrinking demand are forcing the price of oil to record lows.
In the US, perhaps, no group understands this more clearly than the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) industry - the producers of shale oil and gas.
Fracking took off in the US in 2010 as a means to extract large reserves of oil from within hard rock.
The industry had support from the government as a means of achieving energy independence and bringing down prices at the pump.
As a worldwide oversupply has grown and the price of oil has dropped to a 12-year low - below $30 a barrel - many shale oil producers have been forced to shut their doors or make cuts to keep costs down.
By November last year, 93,800 people had been laid off by US-based energy companies in 2015, according to research compiled by Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"All the companies that survive will be leaner and be able to do more with less," says Sam Ori, executive director of The Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
According to law firm Haynes & Boone, 42 oil and gas companies filed for bankruptcy in North America in 2015. This number is expected to increase this year as the industry struggles to cope with mounting corporate debt and oil prices that have dropped 70% in 18 months.
A third of US oil and gas companies could be gone by the middle of 2017, according to Wolfe Research.
Getting to that leaner point will not be easy.
The US shale oil boom took off in just a few years and now adds millions of barrels per day to the global supply.
And global oil inventories continue to grow after OPEC's (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) decision to keep output high.
OPEC, a group of some of the largest oil producing nations, typically cuts production to keep global oil prices high. In the face of growing US competition driving prices down, the group opted to maintain high levels of production, resulting in a global oil glut.
There was an excess of 2.6 million barrels of oil produced each day in 2015, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Face with this excess, and resulting low prices, US frackers are cutting costs. Many have opted not to drill new wells, instead focusing on creating technologies that allow them to get more oil out of the wells they have already drilled.
According to Mr Ori, the number of shale producers that has failed is smaller than many expected, but most analysts still anticipate consolidation in 2016 as companies merge or buy up weaker rivals.
One reason the situation is expected to be so hard in the US is because the cost of fracking is much higher than other extraction methods.
Fracking requires drilling horizontally into rock and then blasting water at high pressure to extract oil and gas.
To get started, many companies relied on debt, which they guaranteed with oil reserves. As the price of oil has dropped, it has become harder for companies to pay off this debt and harder to convince banks to extend new loans.
"The cash flows that companies are turning out are lower and they have less borrowing capacity because lenders are more nervous," says Dan Pickering, head of asset management at Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co, an energy focused investment bank.
According to him, the lack of access to borrowing and lower cash flows have made it harder for frackers to reinvest in new projects. This lack of investment could see supplies shrink and prices rise.
This rebalancing could still take several years. According to the IEA, global demand for oil is expected to grow by just 1.2 million barrels a day in 2016 a slowdown from the growth of 1.8 million barrels per day in 2015. This will make it more difficult to cut the oversupply particularly as OPEC, US shale producers and new oil producers like Iran add to the inventory.
In a report published this week, the IEA estimated the global oil industry would produce 1.5 million excess barrels per day in 2016.
"This inventory overhanging will have to be drawn down for the market to tighten up," says Mr Pickering, though he is still convinced oil prices will pick up by the end of the year.
"The under investment that is happening in the oil patch will translate to lower supply and that will be most visible in North America, and that will show up in the rest of the world in 2017 or 2018," he says.
Most oil companies, especially in the US, are not counting on that increase. The industry is expected to see more job cuts on top of the over 250,000 global layoffs that took place in 2015, making the overall outlook for the industry pretty bleak. | Petrol at one Michigan service station hit 47 cents (33 pence) a gallon last Sunday as a price war between local stations forced the owner to reduce prices to levels not seen in decades. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_noopt | 2 | train | 225 |
The South General hospital already has a walk-in centre which provides urgent care for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted.
But it announced on Wednesday that it would be admitting men and boys from October.
Some 370 cases of sexual assault on men or boys were reported in Sweden last year, Swedish media report.
"The general perception is that men cannot be raped," Dr Lotti Helstrom told Radio Sweden.
She said the subject of male rape was still "extremely taboo" but that it was much more common than most people realised.
Dr Helstrom said that it was important for men to have equal access to emergency care.
The hospital already runs a 24-hour emergency service for female rape victims, providing access to doctors, midwives, nurses, psychologists and social workers.
A spokesperson for the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) welcomed the announcement.
Inger Bjorklund told The Local newspaper that a clinic focused on men would "contribute to the awareness of experiences of sexual abuse among men".

Q: Agnes Oluoch, head of the country's Paralympic committee, told the BBC that in contrast "the government supported the able-bodied athletes 100%".
The games are one of the last chances for athletes to qualify for the Paralympics in Rio in 2016.
Kenya came top of the medals table at the Olympic qualifiers this summer.
Analysis: Kathleen Hawkins, BBC disability news
The Paralympic qualifiers at the World Championships in Doha are seen as a big decider because it is one of the last major competitions before Rio 2016.
But it does not rule out the para-athletes from competing in Rio. It is just one chance to qualify - they will have other chances over the next year.
Also, in exceptional circumstances, perhaps like this one, competitors can be invited to compete. And these championships only cover athletics, so Kenya could be represented in other sports.

Q: Transport Minister Edwina Hart has confirmed Arriva Trains Wales and Network Rail have broadly agreed with an independent report recommending opening a station at Carno in Powys.
Local people have been campaigning for the move since 2002.
The station shut in 1963 as part of the Beeching cuts to Britain's railways.
In a letter to Montgomeryshire AM Russell George, Mrs Hart said she had asked officials at Arriva Trains Wales and Network Rail to undertake analysis.
"I have now received a letter from Arriva Trains Wales and Network Rail. They broadly accept the specialist's conclusions but express concern that additional stops might impact on performance and punctuality," she wrote.
"They have offered to assist my officials with further technical analysis to identify solutions to any issues and I have requested that this should be completed for further review by February."
Mr George has has long supported the campaign for the station and said it was a "positive step forward".
There have been concerns that re-opening the station would impact on the railway's timetable and cause journeys to be longer, due to the stop, but campaigners say this would be minimal.
Carno Station Action Group chairman, Jeremy Barnes said: "At most, stopping at Carno would add three minutes on to the passengers' journey.
"This part of Wales is neglected when it comes to rail services. It is located on the longest stretch of railway without an intermediate station in the whole of Wales, the 22 miles [35km] between Caersws and Machynlleth."
The original station closed in 1963. Even though the Cambrian railway survived, this was one of the stations that closed along the line.
It became part of the Laura Ashley site in Carno, which closed in 2004.

Article: The image has been produced using casts from what is believed to be the skull of the famous Scottish king.
It is the culmination of a two-year research project by researchers at universities in Glasgow and Liverpool.
Until now, portraits and statues of the victor of Bannockburn have relied on artists' imaginations.
With no contemporary artworks to tell us what King Robert actually looked like, historians at the University of Glasgow teamed up with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) to provide an accurate representation.
Its Face Lab specialises in recreating likenesses from legal and archaeological evidence - most famously, the face of the English king, Richard the Third.
Robert the Bruce is best remembered for his victory over the English army at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Project leader Dr Martin Macgregor, a senior lecturer in Scottish history at Glasgow University, said he was arguably the most significant figure in the nation's story.
"When he took the throne in 1306 Scotland was in a parlous state," he said.
"Edward I had decreed that henceforth Scotland was to be described as a land rather than a kingdom.
"I don't think it's going too far to say that unless Bruce had succeeded in that endeavour, we might not be sitting here today talking about a Scotland."
Glasgow University's Hunterian Museum holds the 200-year old cast, made from a skull unearthed when Bruce's burial place, Dunfermline Abbey was being rebuilt.
Although they cannot be certain, historians are reasonably confident it is his skull.
Bruce's opulent tomb, imported from Paris and decorated with black and white marble and elaborate gilding, was destroyed during the Reformation.
In the early 19th Century, buried deep beneath the abbey, excavators found fragments of black and white marble, some of it gilded.
Below that they discovered a lead-lined coffin containing human remains which included the skull. Those remains were reinterred, but not before a cast had been made.
Two centuries later, the latest digital technology was used rebuild the King's face.
This part of the project was overseen by the craniofacial identification expert Prof Caroline Wilkinson, director of LJMU's Face Lab, in a project that took two years to complete.
"Using the skull cast, we could accurately establish the muscle formation from the positions of the skull bones to determine the shape and structure of the face," she explained.
What the archaeological evidence did not show was the colour of the King's eyes and hair.
He is said to have been ill prior to his death in 1329, with some accounts suggesting he had leprosy.
For his skin tones, Prof Wilkinson said they produced two versions; one without leprosy and one with a mild representation of leprosy.
"He may have had leprosy, but if he did it is likely that it did not manifest strongly on his face, as this is not documented."
Dr Macgregor said: "There is a real sense of character in this face.
"Bruce must have been a remarkable man. All of his achievements suggest this to us.
"There must have been tremendous strength of purpose in this individual as well as many other human virtues - flaws as well."
Dr Macgregor said historians should remain cautious about the identity of the skull. More than one Scottish monarch was buried at Dunfermline.
But Prof David Gaimster, the director of the Hunterian, is confident the face is that of the famous king.
"The combination of these magnificent gilded marble fragments and the skeleton itself, the lead wrapping, the depth of the tomb, the location," he said
"All of this information begins to build a high level of probability that this was in fact the tomb of Robert the Bruce."
With Richard the Third there was DNA evidence too but achieving similar confirmation would be problematic.
There exists only one fragment from Dunfermline Abbey which might yield a DNA sample.
But trying to extract the DNA would mean destroying that tiny piece of bone.
There is a well-established principle in such circumstances: leave it. Future generations may find a better way.
It also means that, for all our technological advances, Scotland's hero king will retain some of his mystery for a little longer.
The King's Head - the documentary following the reconstruction from start to finish - will be screened on BBC ALBA on 15 December 15 at 20:30

He was arrested earlier this year in Haiti after taking part in a live radio show and extradited to Florida.
In his guilty plea, he admitted taking bribes to protect narcotics shipments to the US while he was working as a senior police officer.
The US justice department said Philippe had shared some of the money that he was paid in bribes with fellow police officers, to buy their silence.
The bribes he took between 1999 and 2003 are believed to have amounted to as much as $3.5m (£2.8m).
Charges of drug-trafficking, which would have incurred a lengthier sentence, were dropped as part of his plea bargain.
Mr Philippe was arrested in January, days before being sworn in as a senator in Haiti, which would have given him immunity from prosecution.
While he first pleaded not guilty, he changed his plea to guilty in April in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Article: Texas firm Feyonce Inc sells clothing, and other items such as mugs with the label, on its website.
The pop star claims the label is too near to her own trademarked name and confuses customers and fans and damages her reputation.
The singer also claims in court papers filed in Manhattan that the company has ignored her requests to stop.
Beyonce's complaint accuses the San Antonio company, and three individuals, of "brazenly" selling the Feyonce-labelled merchandise.
Legal papers accuse the firm of "trademark infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution, among a score of other statutory and common law violations".
"Defendants have wilfully traded upon the goodwill and notoriety of Beyonce, arguably one of the most famous musical artists and entrepreneurs in the world," say the papers.
The singer says the firm's activities will cause "irreparable harm" to her business reputation and the goodwill associated with her brand because she has no control over the products being sold.
The legal papers highlight one particular mug with the writing: "Feyonce: He put a ring on it."
The singer says the wording is designed to remind the public of her hit song Single Ladies.
One defendant, Andre Maurice, is said to have registered two trademarks under the Feyonce name, one with and one without an accented "e".
As well as wanting to put a stop to the company's activities the singer is seeking unspecified damages, which include all profits the company has made from the using the label.
Beyonce owns the copyrights to her songs and her likeness and sells a range of products, including clothing, perfume and mugs.
She previously threatened the craft marketplace website Etsy with legal action for featuring coffee mugs also marked Feyonce.
And along with other music stars, including Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, she also sued the company Eleven for trademark infringement for using their pictures on their clothing.

The Sikh man in the case was appealing against another court's decision ordering him to pay a €2,000 fine (£1,700; $2,195) because he had been caught leaving his home in Goito, northern Italy, armed with a knife measuring nearly 20cm (7.8in), Italian media reported.
The Sikhs who saved Parmesan
The man had argued that his knife (or kirpan), as well as his turban, were symbols of his religion and wearing them was part of his religious duty.
But the court in Rome ruled that migrants must ensure that their beliefs are legally compatible with host countries.
"[While] the multi-ethnic society is a necessity, public safety is an asset to be protected," the court ruled.
Orthodox Sikhs have been required to carry kirpans since the 17th century, and insist it is not a weapon.

Question:
Article:Sir Jonathan Ive, who has just been appointed Chancellor of the Royal College of Art, also said that technology hubs like Silicon Valley had a "tremendous cultural diversity".
The iPhone designer did not comment on efforts to curb UK immigration.
Some technology firms fear they may lose access to talent after Brexit.
"That general principle [on access] is terribly important for creating a context for multiple companies to grow and in a healthy way explore and develop new products and new product types," Sir Jonathan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The Briton has led Apple's design team since 1996 and is responsible for the look and feel of its devices such as the iPhone and iPod.
Sir Jonathan said the UK had a "fabulous tradition of design education", but that it needed to do more to become a technology hub on a par with Silicon Valley in California, where the likes of Apple, Facebook and Google are based.
"I think Silicon Valley has infrastructures to support start-up companies ... ranging from technological support through to funding," he said.
"And there is the sense that failure isn't irreversible, so very often people will work on an idea, and there isn't the same sense of stigma when one idea and perhaps one company doesn't work out."
The region also prided itself on its diversity, allowing "like-minded" people from around the world to join forces to create new products.
"I think at Apple we've been very clear on how important it is that we have a diverse pool of talent that we can hire from," Sir Jonathan said.
Some UK technology firms have warned that they could lose access to the international talent they need after Britain leaves the European Union.
Cities such as Berlin also hope to coax tech firms away from London, which has been considered as Europe's leading tech hub, after Brexit occurs.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook said earlier this year he was "very optimistic" about the UK's future outside the EU.
"Yes there will be bumps in the road along the way but the UK's going to be fine," he told Prime Minster Theresa May at a meeting in Downing Street.
Apple also plans to build a new UK headquarters in London.
Sir Jonathan was knighted in 2012 for services to design and enterprise.
Summarize the main points of that article.
Answer:
The UK must keep its doors open to top talent from around the world if its technology firms are to thrive, Apple's chief designer has told the BBC.

Statistics from NHS England show 7,163 patients were put in the wards in 2016, up from 4,248 in 2015.
In April 2011, fines were introduced to try to eradicate the problem, leading to a fall from thousands per month to hundreds.
The Patients Association said the rise was "concerning" and that the wards should be scrapped.
Its chief executive Katherine Murphy said single-sex wards are an "important component of preserving patient dignity" in hospitals.
"It is really concerning that over the past year there has been a sharp increase in the number of patients being placed on mixed-sex wards, as a result of mounting hospital pressures," she said.
"Protecting standards of patient safety must remain at the very heart of the NHS and eliminating mixed-sex hospital accommodation is central part of this."
Since April 2011, trusts have been fined £250 when a patient is placed on a mixed-sex ward and since the previous year, statistics have been published on how many breaches of the mixed-sex accommodation rules there have been each month.
In December 2010, there were 11,802 breaches and this dropped to 907 in December 2011 and 314 in the same month in 2012.
In 2014 there was a total of 2,585 patients placed on mixed-sex wards - a figure which increased by 177% in 2016.
Dr Jacqueline McKenna, director of nursing and professional leadership at NHS Improvement, said in some situations there was "no alternative".
"This includes situations where patients need urgent, highly specialised or high-tech care such as in intensive care units. When making this decision, staff must make sure that it is in the interests of all patients affected and work to move patients into same-sex accommodation as quickly as possible.
"A small number of patients (especially children and young people) will actively choose to share with others of the same age or clinical condition, rather than gender."
She added: "The aim of the NHS is to reduce mixed-sex accommodation and ensure privacy and dignity for all patients, but sometimes the need to treat has to take priority, particularly when hospitals are exceptionally busy."
A breach in rules is counted as soon as a patient is placed in a mixed-sex ward and does not depend on how long they stay there.
Single-sex accommodation means patients sharing sleeping, bathroom and toilet facilities only with people of the same sex.
Wards are allowed to be segregated into distinct bays as long as they have separate facilities.
Sum: The number of patients placed in mixed-sex wards in England has risen by almost 70% in the last year.
Deborah Steel, 37, ran the Royal Standard in Ely, Cambridgeshire, and vanished on 28 December 1997. Her body has not been found.
The search had the full consent of the present landlord who is not connected with the investigation.
Police said further lines of enquiry were being followed in the search for the "truth about the disappearance".
A 73-year-old man is on bail until 29 April and two others, aged 70 and 50, have since had theirs cancelled.
Ms Steel's disappearance was recently reclassified from a long-term missing person to a murder inquiry by Cambridgeshire Police.
Her half-sister, Gini Secker, said reopening the case had given the family hope, but that it was "so very sad" that their father had died without knowing what had happened to Ms Steel.

The sub-dollar level is unusual even in the US, where the average national price on Sunday was $1.89, according to the American Automobile Association.
But the steep drop in Michigan is indicative of the struggle engulfing the oil industry in the US and globally. Growing competition, excess supply and shrinking demand are forcing the price of oil to record lows.
In the US, perhaps, no group understands this more clearly than the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) industry - the producers of shale oil and gas.
Fracking took off in the US in 2010 as a means to extract large reserves of oil from within hard rock.
The industry had support from the government as a means of achieving energy independence and bringing down prices at the pump.
As a worldwide oversupply has grown and the price of oil has dropped to a 12-year low - below $30 a barrel - many shale oil producers have been forced to shut their doors or make cuts to keep costs down.
By November last year, 93,800 people had been laid off by US-based energy companies in 2015, according to research compiled by Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"All the companies that survive will be leaner and be able to do more with less," says Sam Ori, executive director of The Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
According to law firm Haynes & Boone, 42 oil and gas companies filed for bankruptcy in North America in 2015. This number is expected to increase this year as the industry struggles to cope with mounting corporate debt and oil prices that have dropped 70% in 18 months.
A third of US oil and gas companies could be gone by the middle of 2017, according to Wolfe Research.
Getting to that leaner point will not be easy.
The US shale oil boom took off in just a few years and now adds millions of barrels per day to the global supply.
And global oil inventories continue to grow after OPEC's (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) decision to keep output high.
OPEC, a group of some of the largest oil producing nations, typically cuts production to keep global oil prices high. In the face of growing US competition driving prices down, the group opted to maintain high levels of production, resulting in a global oil glut.
There was an excess of 2.6 million barrels of oil produced each day in 2015, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Face with this excess, and resulting low prices, US frackers are cutting costs. Many have opted not to drill new wells, instead focusing on creating technologies that allow them to get more oil out of the wells they have already drilled.
According to Mr Ori, the number of shale producers that has failed is smaller than many expected, but most analysts still anticipate consolidation in 2016 as companies merge or buy up weaker rivals.
One reason the situation is expected to be so hard in the US is because the cost of fracking is much higher than other extraction methods.
Fracking requires drilling horizontally into rock and then blasting water at high pressure to extract oil and gas.
To get started, many companies relied on debt, which they guaranteed with oil reserves. As the price of oil has dropped, it has become harder for companies to pay off this debt and harder to convince banks to extend new loans.
"The cash flows that companies are turning out are lower and they have less borrowing capacity because lenders are more nervous," says Dan Pickering, head of asset management at Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co, an energy focused investment bank.
According to him, the lack of access to borrowing and lower cash flows have made it harder for frackers to reinvest in new projects. This lack of investment could see supplies shrink and prices rise.
This rebalancing could still take several years. According to the IEA, global demand for oil is expected to grow by just 1.2 million barrels a day in 2016 a slowdown from the growth of 1.8 million barrels per day in 2015. This will make it more difficult to cut the oversupply particularly as OPEC, US shale producers and new oil producers like Iran add to the inventory.
In a report published this week, the IEA estimated the global oil industry would produce 1.5 million excess barrels per day in 2016.
"This inventory overhanging will have to be drawn down for the market to tighten up," says Mr Pickering, though he is still convinced oil prices will pick up by the end of the year.
"The under investment that is happening in the oil patch will translate to lower supply and that will be most visible in North America, and that will show up in the rest of the world in 2017 or 2018," he says.
Most oil companies, especially in the US, are not counting on that increase. The industry is expected to see more job cuts on top of the over 250,000 global layoffs that took place in 2015, making the overall outlook for the industry pretty bleak.
Sum: Petrol at one Michigan service station hit 47 cents (33 pence) a gallon last Sunday as a price war between local stations forced the owner to reduce prices to levels not seen in decades.
The company believes that any further claims related to the spill will "not have a material impact".
On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and causing an oil spill that soon became the worst environmental disaster in US history.
Since then BP has been paying hefty fines, compensation and legal bills.
Last year, chief executive Bob Dudley described the fire on the Deepwater Horizon and its aftermath as "a near death experience" for the firm.
He said it had shaken the company "to its core" and led to a complete change in its organisational structure.
"Sometimes it takes a near death experience to radically change a company. It was a forced focussing down of what we do, it was: 'This is what we need to do to survive'," Mr Dudley said on the BBC's Today Programme.
The company sold off more than £30bn ($45bn) in assets to help cover the costs of the spill.
"Over the past few months we've made significant progress resolving outstanding Deepwater Horizon claims and today we can estimate all the material liabilities remaining from the incident," Brian Gilvary, BP chief financial officer said in a statement.
"Importantly, we have a clear plan for managing these costs and it provides our investors with certainty going forward."
In October of last year, BP agreed to pay $20bn (£13.2bn) to settle claims with the US government stemming from the spill.
That settlement was the largest the US government had ever reached with a single company.
Sum: BP said the final bill for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill will be $61.6bn (£46.2bn).
The 28-year-old Northern Irishman was treated for a stress fracture to the ribs earlier in the year and pulled out of May's PGA Championship at Wentworth.
He also missed this weekend's Memorial Tournament with the US Open beginning on 15 June.
"I am ready for Erin Hills and looking forward to playing there for the first time," said McIlroy.
The injury, which McIlroy suffered in the close season, flared up as he lost a play-off to Graeme Storm at the South African Open in January.
The four-time major winner did not play again until the WGC-Mexico Championship in March.
McIlroy felt discomfort at the Players Championship at Sawgrass last month and was "advised to take a conservative approach" to his recovery.
"The last few weeks have obviously been frustrating," he told the Guardian.
"I never like to miss events either on the PGA Tour or European Tour, but it was important I got back to a level of fitness where I felt like I could give myself the best possible chance at the US Open.
"As I have said many times before, majors will ultimately determine my golf career, but I have had the rest of this busy season to consider as well."
The US Open takes place at Erin Hills in Wisconsin from 15-18 June.

Article:Despite spending most of the game defending, Ireland led 2-1 going into the final seconds of the match.
However, Germany's Nike Lorenz scored following a penalty corner as the full-time hooter sounded to salvage a draw for the Olympic bronze medallists.
The result means Ireland are still unbeaten in Pool A.
It was Ireland who made the brighter start, and they were rewarded when Zoe Wilson's 14th-minute shot was deflected into the net.
Germany grew into the game but found Ayeisha McFerran in superb form, the Ireland keeper making a string of saves.
With Rosin Upton on a yellow card, Germany finally equalised when Amelie Wortmann scored with a tap-in.
However, Ireland went on the attack and regained the lead when Anna O'Flanagan calmly tipped the ball to Deirdre Duke, who fired into an open goal.
Ireland celebrated as though they had won, but Germany surged forward in desperate search of an equaliser and claimed a share of the points when Lorenz struck in the last second.
After a battling 1-1 draw against Japan in their openingmatch, another draw leaves Ireland with plenty of positives as they target a place in the quarter-finals.
"I thought the girls executed the game-plan brilliantly and worked incredibly hard," Ireland head coach Graham Shaw said.
"They put a monumental effort in and made it very difficult for the Germans".

There were 200 fatalities in 2014, an increase of 16% on the previous year. The number of people seriously injured also increased by 1% to 1,694.
The figures showed there were 1,040 child casualties, a fall of 2%.
Overall the total number of road casualties - 11,240 - was the lowest since records began in 1950.
The road casualty figures have been declining for almost four decades but for the first time for eight years the number of fatalities went up.
The official government figures showed that the 200 road deaths included 93 car users, 56 pedestrians, 31 motorcyclists and eight pedal cyclists
They showed seven children among the 200 deaths, two fewer than 2013.
There were 171 children seriously injured, up from 143 in 2013.
According to the statistics, there were five fewer pedal cyclists killed but 18 more pedestrian fatalities.
There were also eight more motorcyclists killed and four more car user fatalities.
The statistics showed:
Transport Minister Derek Mackay said: "The increase in fatalities and the number of people seriously injured in road accidents in 2014 is disappointing.
"However it also demonstrates the need for every one of us to take responsibility when using the road network. The longer term downward trends and the annual decline in the total number of casualties, to the lowest level since records began, are encouraging but more can, and must, be done."
The minister added: "Some of the more recent interventions such as the landmark change in Scotland's drink-drive legislation - which has seen us leading the way in the United Kingdom - will undoubtedly help prevent the tragic and unnecessary loss of lives on our roads.
"Other innovations such as the A9 average speed camera programme are already delivering benefits, and significant investment is improving safety for cyclists.
"We are also encouraging councils to cut speed in towns and cities through our revised 20mph limit guidance. I am confident that these developments will have a positive impact going forward."

Summarize:
However since getting their hands on the game, players have also had to spend many minutes waiting for online matches to be set up.
Lots of people are really frustrated about the delay.
Now the boss of the studio that made the game has said she's sorry.
"Please accept my heartfelt apologies for the delay and for the negative aspects of your experience to date," Bonnie Ross said in an online statement.
"We're doing everything in our power to resolve it as quickly as possible."
Halo games of the past have been famous for their online modes as well as the single-player campaigns.
And it's online issues that have caused most people to complain about the latest release.
Gamers aren't happy because of the time it's taking for matches to be set up with other online players - with some reporting up to 30 min delays.
A downloadable update was released last week to try and improve the situation, and fix some other issues as well, but it's still not clear if it's worked for everyone.
Bonnie Ross said: "We have encountered unexpected issues that were not apparent in our internal test environment and that have resulted in a frustrating experience, including long match-making times and low session success rates.
"Within 343 Industries and Xbox, I can assure you that resolving these issues is our number one priority."
Launched on 11 November this version is a remastering of the old Halo games with next-gen graphics, more online modes and extra content.
The franchise is very important to the console as Xbox marketing director in the UK Harvey Eagle told Newsbeat earlier this month: "It's a franchise that's worth more than $4bn dollars in revenue, that makes it one of the top grossing franchises not just in gaming but in entertainment.
"So that makes it incredibly important not just for Xbox, but for gaming in general as well."
That means that everyone involved with the game is taking these issues very seriously.

Q: Last week the World Health Organization called for a ban on their use in public places and workplaces. The group said it was concerned about the risk which use of the products presented and about their marketing via fruit and candy-style flavours.
Highly-respected bodies in the UK such as the British Medical Association and Faculty of Public Health have also sounded notes of caution.
But there is also a vociferous health lobby warning against over-regulation, arguing that getting smokers to switch to e-cigarettes could actually save lives.
Confused? You won't be the only one.
The arguments raging over the role and risks of e-cigarettes are typical of many that have been heard down the years in the field of health. That is to say it is all about balancing risk and benefit - and as evidence is still emerging it is natural to find a variety of opinion.
After all, e-cigarettes are a relatively new phenomenon. Since 2005, the e-cigarette industry has grown from one manufacturer in China to an estimated £1.8bn global business with 466 brands.
And it is worth noting, because of the unease it is causing health experts, it's an industry that tobacco firms are increasingly getting involved in.
But this debate is further complicated by the fact that it is not just the merits of e-cigarettes that is being discussed, but their impact on smoking tobacco products.
On their own, there is little to recommend the use of e-cigarettes. They contain some toxins and, therefore, in theory are potentially harmful.
But, of course, that cannot be seen in isolation. Smoking an e-cigarette - and this is about the only thing that is not disputed - is less harmful than tobacco products. Much less harmful, in fact.
This - according to those who are worried about the tough line being taken by some experts - should be the guiding principle while more research is carried out.
1. On some e-cigarettes, inhalation activates the battery-powered atomiser. Other types are manually switched on
2. A heating coil inside the atomiser heats liquid nicotine contained in a cartridge
3. Liquid nicotine becomes vapour and is inhaled. The 'smoke' produced is largely water vapour. Many e-cigarettes have an LED light as a cosmetic feature to simulate traditional cigarette glow.
But the problem for those who have been more circumspect is that there are a number of unknowns.
The major concerns about e-cigarettes is that they could act as a gateway to real cigarettes. The experts who are in the news today make a pretty strong case for that not being the case. But plenty of people are still not convinced.
However, there are other questions that need to be answered too.
Research has shown that while e-cigarettes can increase the chances of quitting, they are less effective than traditional "stop smoking" services.
If the availability of e-cigarettes is stopping people using official routes to quitting - and there is some evidence to suggest they may be - that could be a concern.
Another worry is that people who use e-cigarettes to quit could be more likely to relapse.
Meanwhile - and this is a point acknowledged by Prof Robert West who is one of the experts warning against an over-reaction to e-cigarettes - the presence of people "vaping" may encourage those who have quit successfully to take up the habit.
These are the sort of issues that are now being looked into by researchers across the world. While that is happening, it's a debate that still has a long way to run.
A: It can be hard to know quite what to make of e-cigarettes.
Q: The Dutch currently hold the presidency of the EU, but it is not just the prospect of an unprecedented crisis happening on their watch that is causing jitters in the Netherlands.
Dutch politicians, especially on the right, regard Britain as a bulwark against the more protectionist tendencies of some of the bigger EU states.
As one of the grand old men of Dutch politics, the former leader of the centre right VVD party and former EU Commissioner Frits Bolkestein told me: "Holland and Britain look at the seas.
"We are maritime people and believe in trade with other parts of the world.
"Continental powers, like France and Germany, very important members of the EU, think differently."
So, what if Britain left the EU?
"The Dutch would feel they've lost an important ally in the balance of powers within the European Union," he said.
"Our message is, 'Hang in there, don't leave Holland, support free trade.'
"Try to be less Minnie the Minx, moaning on the sidelines, but come in there with both feet and fight."
A politician who has been less of a minx and more of a menace to the established parties for the past few years sees things very differently.
Geert Wilders is the leader of the populist, right-wing PVV, which currently tops Dutch opinion polls.
Overtly anti-Islam and anti-EU, he is hoping that a British vote to leave the EU would start a domino effect; that a Brexit would lead to a similar referendum on a Nexit.
"I think it will be a good thing if people from the UK vote to leave this political project," he told me in the Dutch parliament, where he is accompanied by ever-present security guards.
"I believe it will mean that other countries, like perhaps my own, will find it an enormous incentive to regain their national sovereignty.
"I'm talking about a patriotic spring.
"If we want to survive as a nation, we have to stop immigration and stop Islamisation.
"We cannot do that inside the European Union."
Although the Netherlands is seeing increasing numbers of Central European arrivals, the immigration debate tends to focus on larger communities that originally came from outside the EU - Morocco and Turkey - and their level of integration.
It was a debate that had existed in the background for decades, but only reached the forefront of Dutch politics about 15 years ago
And now it is taking parts of Dutch society in unpredictable directions.
Here is one example.
According to the Dutch-Turkish journalist Gulsah Ercetin, who covers integration issues for the state broadcaster NOS, some of the young, third-generation members of the country's large Turkish community are turning away from the Netherlands and towards the country their grandparents left.
"I find it interesting that some of them are feeling an emotional connection to Turkey," she told me.
"They follow everything there.
"When you ask them what's going on in Dutch politics, they're not well informed.
"Some of these young Turks who were born and raised in Holland don't feel Dutch.
"They feel more Turkish than Dutch.
"They say they're floating around between two cultures and two countries.
"They're constantly reminded they're from another country and they have another religion."
Despite being one of the founding members of the EEC, it is hard to find much love for the European Union in the Netherlands.
The VVD party of Prime Minister Marc Rutte calls itself Eurosceptic.
But the world-renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, who recently chaired a 12-hour debate on "what is Europe?", argues the EU has been a good thing for his country and for the UK, where he began his architecture studies in the 1960s.
Sitting in his Rotterdam office, he told me the Brexit camp was full of people who "fundamentally want to change England back to the way it was before" and lamented the way, as he sees it, the EU has been used as a scapegoat.
"It is the nations and prime ministers that take the decisions, but because of this myth of Brussels, they are also able to blame Brussels for the decisions they took themselves," he said.
But Mr Koolhaas seems to be an increasingly rare voice in a country re-examining its own relationship with the EU and where fears are rising that the club of nations opposed to a more federal, political union is about to lose a member.

This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.
The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men.
Livestock-herding Masai people do come into conflict with elephants, and this suggests that animals have adapted to specifically listen for and avoid them.
The study is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Source: BBC Nature
Watch how elephants use mud as a sunblock
Prof Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex, who led the study, explained that in previous research they had used similar playback experiments to reveal that elephants could tell - from the sound of a lion's roar - whether the animal was a female or a more dangerous male.
Other studies have shown that elephants respond with fear to the scent and even to the red colour of the Masai clothing.
"I've experienced that," explained Prof McComb.
"If you give a Masai man a lift in your car, you can see the elephants behave in a different way around you.
"They're much more wary of the car and you see a lot of smelling and listening."
Prof McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very acute sense of hearing to identify a potential threat from humans.
The scientists recorded Masai men, women and children saying, in their own language, "look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming".
They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.
While cattle-herding Maasai people often encounter free-ranging elephants, which can result in violent conflict, the Kamba people's more agricultural lifestyle does not generally bring them into aggressive contact with the animals.
When the team played recordings of these different voices through a camouflaged loudspeaker, they found that elephant family groups reacted more fearfully in response to the voice of a Masai man, than to a Kamba man's voice - retreating and bunching together defensively.
And the adult male Masai voices triggered far more of these defensive reactions than the voices of women or boys.
An additional and unexpected finding was that when the researchers changed the pitch and frequency of the voices - making a male Masai voice sound more female - the elephants would still react in the same way as they did to the original recording.
"That suggests they're using completely different cues [to us] in order to attribute gender," said Prof McComb.
Frans van der Waal from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University, a researcher and the author of several books on animal behaviour, wrote in an accompanying article in PNAS that this finding suggested we had "much to learn about how elephants make decisions".
He added in an interview with BBC News: "Making these kinds of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable."
Prof McComb said the research showed that elephants were "trying to adapt" to human threats.
"Humans are undoubtedly the most dangerous and versatile predators the elephants are faced with these days," she said.
Prof de Waal added: "The more we understand about how elephants navigate their physical and social worlds, and how their behaviour continues to adapt to ever-changing threats, the better able we will be to effectively work to protect them in the wild." | Elephants are able to differentiate between ethnicities and genders, and can tell an adult from a child - all from the sound of a human voice. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_noopt | 2 | train | 206 |
Summarize this article in one sentence.
Karine Charbonnier-Beck was hailed as a bold speaker of truth to power for her appearance three weeks ago on the TF1 programme Face aux Francais (Face to Face with the French), in which the president was questioned by members of the public.
Her frank denunciation of the government's business policies, and refusal to be impressed by President Hollande's attempts to explain, made an instant hit.
After being inundated with mostly complimentary tweets and emails from across the country, she has now been offered a regular slot on one of France's leading radio chat-shows.
"I thought it was important to tell the president exactly what we have to go through as small business-owners," she says in an interview at the Beck Industries factory in Armentieres, on the Belgian border.
"When French people think about business, they automatically imagine rich tycoons and the CEOs of massive multinationals.
"They don't realise that most of the work is done at a much more humble level. After the broadcast I got so many messages from viewers saying how refreshing it was to hear things from a different angle."
In the television programme, Ms Charbonnier-Beck upbraided the president for failing to understand the reality of running a business.
She said that by simply moving a few kilometres across the frontier into Belgium, she could save Beck Industries €3m ($3.7m/£2.3m) in taxes and charges every year. Her staff would also earn more because of lower payroll taxes.
Ms Charbonnier-Beck said that President Hollande had failed to live up to his promise to simplify red tape. In fact, she said, there had been a process of "complexification"; and she urged a reform of the trade union system which, in its current form, hindered industrial relations.
As for the president's responses, she says she was distinctly unimpressed.
"I imagined that he would have come prepared for the event and used the section with me to announce some new initiative on business. But there was nothing of the kind.
"I didn't have the feeling he was listening to anything I said. The answers had nothing to do with my questions. It is impossible to know what the president really thinks about anything. He says whatever he thinks the people he is with will want to hear."
Ms Charbonnier-Beck is the fourth generation of her family to run Beck Industries, which was set up in 1919 in a town destroyed in World War One.
Armentieres, which lies a little south of Ypres, was on the frontline for four years.
After meeting at one of France's top business schools HEC, she and her husband Hugues began at the company 20 years ago. Ten years ago they took over the reins from Karine's father.
"After HEC we had the chance to go to the US. There was a choice: Harvard or Armentieres. Naturally we chose Armentieres," laughs Ms Charbonnier-Beck.
With its crumbling industrial heritage and surrounding fields of Brussels sprouts, Armentieres may not be the most picturesque of locations.
But it has provided a solid base for the business.
Today the company owns factories at Aberdeen and Wolverhampton in the UK, as well as in Belgium and Germany.
The factories all make heavy bolts and fastenings for use in the oil, gas and nuclear power industries. Overall Beck employs some 700 people.
"We have been very impressed by the British approach to business. It is so very different from the French way," says Hugues Charbonnier.
"In France we are very good at mastering a core of competences and really excelling at them. But in the UK there is always the desire to move on, to try something new. Probably the perfect world would involve a synthesis of the two approaches."
Karine says that she and her husband are very proud of what they have achieved.
"We know we are a very good company," she says.
"But we need to invest if we are to stay ahead of the competition. And the only way we can do that is if we start making more profits. That means there have to be lower charges."
And has taking on the president had any effect? Has the publicity gone to her head?
"Not a bit of it. I have started turning down requests for interviews and the radio appearance will only be one evening every couple of weeks," she says.
"It is important to get our message across. But work comes first." | A 46-year-old businesswoman who makes nuts and bolts for heavy industry has become a folk hero for disaffected French entrepreneurs after she gave a televised dressing-down to President Francois Hollande on the travails of running a company. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_noopt | 2 | train | 182 |
Text: The network said in a statement that Mr Trump's decision is "unprecedented" and accused him of "terrorising" debate host Megyn Kelly.
Mr Trump clashed with Ms Kelly at a Fox News debate last year and had demanded she be removed from Thursday's panel.
His decision to pull out has been mocked by his Republican rivals.
The debate is the final one before the first real test of the election campaign, the Iowa caucus on Monday when voters in the state pick their presidential nominee.
"Capitulating to politicians' ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats," the Fox News network said in a statement.
There are plenty of reasons Donald Trump's last-minute withdrawal from the Republican debate could be a bad move.
He's on the verge of winning the Iowa caucuses, so why shake things up now? His past debate performances haven't hurt him, and his most recent was probably his best.
What's to gain from squabbling with the most powerful conservative media company in the nation? Already his opponents are blasting him for being afraid of a fight, with Ted Cruz's campaign labelling him "Donald duck".
Yet every time it seems like Mr Trump has made a grievous miscalculation that - at last - will sink his campaign, it ends up as either brilliant strategy or his political armour is just too strong.
So maybe this will work out for the New Yorker. He's dominating the headlines once again. And his plan to hold a rally to support wounded veterans, while his opponents aim their criticisms at an empty lectern, could prove a winning contrast.
Did Mr Trump just turn the whole Fox Thursday night event into a "kids' table" debate?
"We're not sure how Iowans are going to feel about him walking away from them at the last minute, but it should be clear to the American public by now that this is rooted in one thing - Megyn Kelly."
It added: "We can't give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees."
Ms Kelly accused the New York billionaire of misogyny in the first debate last August and he responded the next day by accusing her of having blood "coming out of everywhere". He denied he was referring to menstruation.
Mr Trump, who leads the Republican field, quit the debate on Tuesday night after Fox put out a sarcastic statement that questioned his ability to deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Fox responded by accusing Mr Trump of "viciously attacking" Ms Kelly, threatening her and spending four days trying to get her removed.
Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz mocked Mr Trump for his announcement.
He challenged him to a one-on-one debate and taunted him on Twitter using the hashtag #DuckingDonald.
summary: Fox News has fired back at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his refusal to participate in their debate on Thursday night.

No. The life-sized bronze statue now adorning a special garden in Mexico City is of the former president of the oil-rich Azerbaijan and recipient of the Order of Lenin, Heydar Aliyev.
Described by, among others, Human Rights Watch as a leader under whom dissent was crushed, the monument to the late leader sparked increasing controversy since it was unveiled a few weeks ago.
"I particularly dislike the public justification which the Mexico City government has given for the statue," says Andres Lajous, a journalist specialising in urban issues.
"They basically said that it was because the Azerbaijani government gave several million dollars to rebuild the park - the Azerbaijan Park as it's now called - as well as another park downtown.
"But I'm not sure they have ever given us a reason as to why the city should commemorate Heidar Aliyev in the first place."
So far, the government of outgoing Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has not commented on the controversy.
But when Mr Ebrard unveiled the Azerbaijan-Mexico Park earlier this year, he said it was "testament to the will of the two peoples to grow closer".
He also noted that - in 16 years - none of the 180 diplomatic missions or 45 international organisations based in Mexico City had given as much money for public spaces in the capital as Azerbaijan.
In an interview with BBCMundo, Azerbaijan's Ambassador to Mexico, Ilgar Mukhtarov, was keen to stress that the project had been in the pipeline for some time and that "the park areas were both in great need of rescue and renovation".
"We gladly took the opportunity to show our appreciation to the Mexican people by participating in this ambitious urban renewal project," he said.
The ambassador also commented on the funding - an estimated $5m (£3m) - provided by Baku for the parks and the statue.
"The money was never directly given to the Mexico City government. This embassy hired the construction companies that in turn renewed both areas, in collaboration with the different authorities of the city," the envoy said.
He added: "I believe that the cost of the gift of the people of Azerbaijan to the people of Mexico is not relevant to their role. The important thing is that they are enjoyed by the citizens of this great city."
However, that does not convince critics like Mr Lajous.
"Basically (the Mexico City government) are being opportunists in the sense that they took the money from Azerbaijan because they know that the political meaning is opaque in Mexico City," he argues.
"It wouldn't be opaque if they put up a statute of George W Bush or, let's say, Hugo Chavez.
"They wouldn't put up a statute of Chavez even if he paid a lot of money. But with Azerbaijan - it's so far away and we know so little about it."
Certainly, most people at the new monument were not aware who President Aliyev was, nor quite why he was being honoured in this way.
"I must admit, I don't know who he is," says Herminio Batalla, as he enjoyed his paper on a park bench. "But I think it's great they've donated all this money to improve the park."
"He who pays, gets to choose," said Jose Romeo, a car washer who works by the park.
"I don't think it's a particularly good idea (to erect a monument to Aliyev) but what can we, Mexicans, say? We have to bite our tongues as it's their money which has paid for all this."
Others lamented that the space wasn't used for someone with more relevance to Mexico's past.
"It's all very well forging closer ties to other countries," says archaeologist Paula Vaya, "but there are people from Mexico who were much more important who aren't represented here."
As I walked away from the monument, there followed what can only be described as a bizarre encounter.
Packing away my camera and microphone, I was approached by a parking attendant - known in Mexico's informal economy as a "viene viene".
He asked me which media outlet I worked for and told me the Azerbaijani embassy were keen to talk to me.
Within minutes, he had called a contact at the embassy and was helping to arrange our interview with the ambassador.
Stalinesque control? Or harmless support from a concerned bystander with an interest in Azerbaijan?
Ambassador Mukhtarov, when asked, assured us it was the latter.
Critics of the government in Baku might see that moment - and the statue to the late president - somewhat differently.
summary: The latest monument in Mexico's capital was erected to commemorate the life of a man who, the plaque reads, was a "shining example of loyalty to the universal ideals of world peace".

On the far side of the Moon lies the Maunder crater, named after two British astronomers - Annie and Walter Maunder.
+++++++
A: Annie worked alongside her husband at the end of the 19th Century, recording the dark spots that pepper the Sun.
The name Maunder is still known in scientific circles, yet Annie has somehow slipped from history.
"I think the name Maunder is there and we have all rather forgotten that that's two people," says Dr Sue Bowler, editor of the Royal Astronomical Society magazine, Astronomy and Geophysics.
"She was acknowledged on papers, she published in her own name as well as with her husband, she wrote books, she was clearly doing a lot of work but she also clearly kept to the conventions of the day, I think."
Annie Scott Dill Russell was born in 1868 in Strabane, the daughter of a Reverend.
Clearly of fierce intelligence, she won a scholarship to Girton College, Cambridge, and became one of the first female scientists to work at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
In the courtyard of the observatory, looking over the park, curator Dr Louise Devoy, tells me what little they know about her work.
"She was one of what we now call the 'lady computers' employed in the early 1890s by the then Astronomer Royal, William Christie," she explains.
"I believe she came from Northern Ireland and she worked here for several years on very low pay just like many of the computers here, both male and female.
"In terms of what she actually did here, we have very little concrete record or photographs.'"
Female scientists were hindered because of their gender until the 1920s and 30s, despite superb skills and experience, says Dr Devoy.
At Greenwich, employing women with a university education in mathematics was an audacious experiment.
Women were only considered because the Astronomer Royal needed skilled assistants but could afford only lowly computers - historically, schoolboys on a wage of £4 per month.
Maunder was offered a post as a lady computer, which meant a huge drop in pay for someone who had been working, briefly, as a school teacher.
Letters show that she appealed for more money but was turned down.
The lady computers would carry out routine calculations to turn raw observations into usable data. They were also trained to use telescopes.
At times, this meant walking through Greenwich Park at night without a chaperone, an activity that was frowned on at the time.
"In an age when many middle-class women were still chaperoned, the grit and devotion of these young women astronomers, clad in their clumsy long gowns as they worked at their telescopes or in the laboratories, were surely remarkable," wrote the science historian and astronomer Mary T Brück.
More on Annie Maunder and other female pioneers of science:
In 1892, the names of Annie Russell and fellow Greenwich astronomer Alice Everett were put forward to become fellows of the Royal Astronomical Society.
However, they failed to gain enough of the popular vote in a secret ballot and were rejected.
The RAS had long argued that since the pronoun "he" was used in the charter, women could not be admitted alongside men.
Instead, Annie Russell and Alice Everett, who had studied together at Cambridge, joined the amateur British Astronomical Association (BAA).
Alice Everett grew tired of the low pay and left Greenwich, eventually developing an interest in the new field of television. Annie Russell stayed on.
"She was clearly very tough and wanted to follow her science," says Dr Bowler.
"She sat the [difficult] mathematical Tripos at a time when women couldn't actually be awarded a degree and there were even protests at Cambridge against the whole idea of giving women degrees.
"So she was clearly tough enough to do that and to do it well and to succeed then in getting employment as a scientist, which was fairly rare anyway - astronomy was still very much a gentleman's pursuit."
Annie Russell married her colleague Edward Walter Maunder in 1895.
Under civil service rules, as a married woman, she was forced to give up her paid position, bringing the age of lady computers to an end.
"She did come back as a volunteer during the First World War and then she was taken on as a paid employee later in the 1920s,'' says Dr Devoy.
Annie worked alongside Walter taking photographs of the Sun, laying the groundwork for a modern understanding of solar activity.
"They would take photographs of the Sun every clear day just to note where the sunspots were and to sketch where they were," says Dr Bowler. "But she also, as a trained mathematician, put quite a bit of effort into analysis. She wasn't just writing things down; she wasn't just Walter's assistant."
Annie Maunder went on many scientific expeditions to observe eclipses around the turn of the century, often as the only woman. She travelled to Lapland, India, Algiers, Mauritius and Labrador.
She even designed her own camera to take spectacular pictures of the Sun, including the first photograph ever of streamers from the Sun's outer layer, or corona.
"She particularly caught an extremely long ray - a streak of the corona - coming out from the Sun, while it was eclipsed, that nobody had ever seen before - a feature of the corona that people just didn't know about," says Dr Bowler.
"I've seen photos of her adjusting the instruments. She's taking her photographs. She's not at all a passenger.
"It may have been only socially acceptable for her to go because she's travelling with her husband but she was on official scientific expeditions and her photographs were acknowledged as among the best."
The conventions of the time meant that Annie's photographs were published under her husband's name and she could not speak at scientific meetings.
However, she was eventually made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1916, 24 years after first being proposed.
She was involved with promoting astronomy to a general audience as vice president of the BAA and edited the in-house journal.
In 1908, the Maunders published the book, The Heavens and Their Story, which was aimed at popular science.
The book was released under both their names, but her husband acknowledged in the preface that it was almost all her work.
The Maunders are also well known for the butterfly diagram, which shows how the number of sunspots varies with time, and the Maunder Minimum, a period in the 17th Century when sunspots all but disappeared.
Much of their work still holds true today.
This year, Annie's name is being remembered through the inaugural Annie Maunder Medal, to recognise public engagement in science.
"She is an ideal person for that medal to be named after," says Dr Bowler. "That's largely what she was doing, certainly later in her career."
Annie Maunder died in 1947, long after her husband.
On a leafy street near Clapham Common I find the Victorian terraced house where she spent her final years.
From the outside there is nothing to speak of the pioneering scientist.
Yet, despite perhaps not getting the recognition she deserved in her lifetime, she clearly left her mark on science.
"From her letters which are in the Royal Astronomical Society archives she was a very strong-minded, very decided personality," says Sue Bowler.
"She didn't mince her words. She's really quite amusingly rude in some of her letters and very precise.
"I really admire her - she's one of the people I would definitely have at my dream dinner party - I think she would be extraordinarily interesting.
"And her thoughts, her opinions about the paper based on her observations are very modern and form the basis for solar physics through a lot of the years following."

Losing control of a major city to a small insurgent group that was hardly known two years ago is an embarrassment to the Philippines government and armed forces.
+++++++
A: | Even on Mindanao, where tens of thousands have been killed over five decades of armed conflict, the week-long battle for Marawi stands out as a fiasco.
The army, though, now believes it unwittingly interrupted a plan by the Maute group to take over the city and sack it.
Soldiers were following a tip-off that Isnilon Hapilon, leader of the notorious Abu Sayyaf Group and the most wanted insurgent leader in the Philippines, was in Marawi.
They had gone in to try to capture him, and were surprised by the number of Maute group fighters inside the city. The result was a week of fierce clashes, air strikes, summary executions and tens of thousands of displaced people.
So who are the Maute group? And why are they important on an island which is home to dozens of well-armed groups?
A tradition of armed resistance to central government authority goes back centuries in Mindanao.
The Spanish colonial administration barely maintained a presence on the island, and the US administration which replaced Spain fought brutal battles with the Moros, as the various Muslim clans of Mindanao are generally called.
In the late 1960s the Moros rose up again against the government - after years of settlement by Christians from other parts of the Philippines had left Muslims a minority on Mindanao - under a new nationalist movement, the MNLF.
That armed struggle, costing tens of thousands of lives, has continued more or less to the present day, with occasional breakthroughs - like the 1996 peace agreement with the MNLF leader Nur Misuari, and the more recent Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro in 2014 with the MILF, once a breakaway group from the MNLF and now the largest armed organisation on the island.
That deal is stalled, but is supposed to create an autonomous Moro state on Mindanao.
President Rodrigo Duterte has promised to make peace on the island a priority, but his view of the 2014 deal is not clear as he talks about broader federalism for the Philippines.
All those years of conflict have created a warrior culture among young men, and flooded Mindanao with weapons. Private armies and militias wield more power than the official security forces in many areas.
They have also created fertile ground for radical Islam.
Best known of the radical groups is Abu Sayyaf, founded in 1991 and named after a mujahideen commander in Afghanistan.
It was linked to al-Qaeda through support given by Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law.
It used to operate only in the far south-west, on the islands of Sulu and Basilan, and became known for a series of kidnappings of foreigners for ransom and for beheading their captives.
US forces were deployed to the area in 2002 to help the Philippines military deal with Abu Sayyaf.
Despite the deaths of many fighters and commanders, the group continues to fight, though it has now broken into rival factions over the decision in 2014 by Isnilon Hapilon to swear allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS), and to declare himself the "amir" of a South East Asian caliphate.
Who are the Abu Sayyaf group?
But when Hapilon moved to Lanao del Sur, on the main island of Mindanao, apparently after being badly injured in a firefight at the end of last year, a new and potentially dangerous alliance emerged, bringing Abu Sayyaf together with three other small, hardline insurgent forces, who reject peace talks with the government and advocate a Salafi form of Islamic rule.
The Maute group is one of them, and, say experts who monitor Islamic groups in the region, the most potent.
It was founded five or six years ago by Omar and Abdullah Maute, natives of Lanao del Sur and members of the Maranao clan.
They both studied in the Middle East: Omar at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, and Abdullah in Jordan. They both speak Arabic, unlike Isnilon Hapilon, and are well-versed in Salafi and jihadist ideology.
They are believed to have many connections with IS supporters in the Middle East.
The Maute brothers also have strong family ties to some of the top MILF leaders, which, until recently, gave them access to the resources and training areas of the mainstream insurgent group.
They are believed to have formed a close relationship with a well-known Indonesian radical, Sanusi, who was killed by police at the Mindanao State University in Marawi in 2012.
The Mautes probably started carrying out terrorist attacks in Mindanao in 2013. But they first grabbed national attention in the Philippines when they raided the prison in Marawi in August last year, freeing 23 inmates.
They were then blamed by the authorities for a bomb attack in Davao, President Duterte's hometown, in September, which killed 14 people.
They took over the town of Butig late last year, and again in January this year, and despite heavy losses, have continued to clash with the troops sent in to deal with them.
Their apparent plan to take over Marawi, coinciding with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, would have been a huge propaganda coup; their tenacious resistance to the army in Marawi may also now be used to attract more recruits.
Perhaps more significantly, they have a number of foreign militants fighting with them, mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia.
They are believed to have received training from a skilled Malaysian bomb-maker called Zulkifli "Marwan" Abdhir, who was killed by the police in 2015.
Another Malaysian radical, Dr Mahmud Ahmad, is still thought to be with them.
Sidney Jones, who runs the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict in Jakarta and is perhaps the best-informed expert on Islamic extremists in South East Asia, believes the Maute group now has overseas sources of funding, probably from Indonesia, she says, but possibly Syria.
The Mautes, she says, are the brains behind the attempt to establish an alliance loyal to IS in Mindanao, not the self-styled "amir" Isnilon Hapilon, for whose capture the US is offering a $5m (£3.9m) reward.
She believes the Philippines government has underestimated the strength of the Mautes, and their capacity to act as a crucible for terrorist actions across the region.
Ms Jones says that today Indonesian militants are able to travel freely to the Philippines, on scheduled flights, to buy weapons in Mindanao.
Her fear is that as IS is forced to retreat further in Syria and Iraq, the hundreds of Indonesian and Malaysian militants fighting there will come home, and be looking for new opportunities to wage jihad.
The Maute group and its new alliance will offer an ideal partnership for them.
"President Duterte's declaration of martial law is just a band-aid," Ms Jones says.
"The government has turned a blind eye to how these groups have united; it keeps downplaying the threat they pose. But these four groups together now have a geographic reach pro-IS groups in the Philippines have never had before."
It is worth remembering that the last time South East Asia faced a sustained terrorist threat, it also germinated in Mindanao.
Jemaah Islamiyah, the group that carried out the devastating Bali bombing in 2002, which killed 202 people, most of them tourists, originated in Indonesia and Malaysia in the 1980s.
But it learned its lethal bomb-craft from veterans of the Afghan war, mostly in training camps inside MILF-controlled areas.
Today the MILF is more wary of hardline militants within its ranks as it pursues a still elusive final autonomy settlement with the government.
The Mautes have been expelled from MILF areas in the past, and get little co-operation today.
But while poverty and violence still afflict the southern Philippines, the radical groups will appeal to many young Muslims, and pose a significant threat to the mainstream MILF leadership, to other parts of the country vulnerable to terrorist bombings, and even to the wider region. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | fs_noopt | 9 | train | 219 |
Article: The league, sanctioned by USA Rugby and World Rugby, will begin in April 2016 with six teams from the United States, before Canadian sides join in 2017.
Each team will be allowed no more than five non-North American players.
"As the fastest growing team sport in the USA, it is time to have a sanctioned professional competition," said USA Rugby chairman Bob Latham.
"We are very happy to partner with the Professional Rugby Organisation (Pro Rugby) in taking this step to popularise the game, to inspire Americans to fall in love with rugby, and to show the rugby world what American players can do."
Pro Rugby, the organisation set up to run the competition, said the initial six teams would be based in the north-east United States, the Rocky Mountains and California.
The US national team lost all four of its matches at this year's World Cup, finishing bottom of Pool B. Canada also lost all of their matches at the tournament, finishing bottom of Pool D.
Meanwhile, Premiership Rugby announced in October that London Irish will play their "home" match with champions Saracens in New York early next year - the first Premiership game to be staged overseas.

Summarize: North America's first ever professional rugby union league is to be launched next year.
Problem: Greg Wallace was initially suspended as the head of Best Start Federation schools in July 2013 before resigning six months later.
He was accused of awarding more than £1m in IT contracts to his then partner's company, C2 Technology.
Mr Wallace, 46, must wait two years before applying to have the ban lifted.
A National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) disciplinary hearing heard Mr Wallace awarded the IT contracts to C2 Technology without obtaining quotes or advising the schools' governors of his actions.
Mr Wallace said he was "always open" about his connection with C2 Technology and that contracts were judged on their value and its quality.
The NCTL disciplinary panel, meeting in Coventry, found that while Mr Wallace's actions were serious they were at the "lower end of the scale of severity".
The panel ruled that he should avoid a ban due to his "inspirational example as an educator."
But a Department for Education official, acting on behalf of the education secretary, overruled the panel saying it had given "undue weight" to the witness testimonies of Mr Wallace's former colleagues and several current colleagues from the Harris Academy chain.
Mr Wallace's conduct was sufficiently severe to erode public confidence in the teaching profession and a ban was therefore appropriate, the DfE added.
After resigning from Best Start Federation Mr Wallace went on to become an unpaid adviser to current Education Secretary Nicky Morgan.
But he was forced to resign from that role in December 2015 after Ms Morgan was made aware of the allegations against him.
Mr Wallace was once described by former Education Secretary Michael Gove in a speech in 2012 as one of a "magnificent seven" head teachers running outstanding schools in deprived areas.
What was that article about?

A three-year ban is in place on killing fish outside estuary limits with strict controls on numbers in inland waters.
The Annan Common Good Fund holds the rights to traditional fishing methods such as haaf, poke and stake netting in much of the area.
It has worked up a £50,000 compensation bid which Marine Scotland said it hoped to have resolved by next month.
The annual cost of applying the regulations in the area has been estimated at nearly £17,000 due to lost fish licence income.
A report to go to the common good fund sub committee outlined progress in efforts to claim the funds.
A letter from Marine Scotland confirmed it would consider the bid but it could only be done after compensation for coastal netting had been agreed.
It added that it understood the issue was one they were "anxious to resolve" and hoped to respond by the end of February.
Sum: Marine Scotland is to consider a compensation claim over new wild salmon protection rules on the Solway Firth.
Problem: The leaders are bidding for a record 14 straight wins in one top-flight season when they visit Tottenham on Wednesday.
Victory would see them extend their lead over Liverpool to eight points.
"There are some positions that, if we are able to find the right solution, it is important to take that solution," said Conte.
"This championship is long. Also, I know the difficulty of the market and finding the right player. But we are talking about this."
Conte's side beat Spurs 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in November as part their record-equalling run of 13 consecutive Premier League wins.
"Against Tottenham was a tough game," added Conte. "For me, Tottenham are better than last season."
The Italian also said that Diego Costa was "completely focused" after the in-form striker admitted having wanted to leave last summer.
"When Diego decided to stay, he said he wanted to fight for this club and for his shirt. I wasn't concerned. He is showing great patience in the right way, in every moment of the game."
Victory over Spurs on Wednesday would see Chelsea become the first team in history to win 14 consecutive English top-flight games in one season.
A win in their next game at Leicester would give them the outright record of 15 straight wins in English football.
So who are the other sides to rack up a run of 14 victories?

When: The Gunners collected 13 straight victories to end the 2001-02 season - the only other Premier League side to manage 13 in a row in one season - before winning the first game of the 2002-03 campaign.
Ended by: A 2-2 draw with West Ham at Upton Park on 24 August 2002.
Champions: Arsenal claimed the 2001-02 Premier League title thanks to a 1-0 victory at Manchester United during their winning run, receiving the trophy after their 13th win against Everton. They finished runners-up to United the following year.
Preston North End - Second Division - 1950-51
When: Preston started their winning run on Christmas Day 1950 and went on until 27 March 1951.
Ended by: A 3-3 draw at Southampton on 31 March 1951.
Champions: Preston finished top of the table to be promoted to the First Division, then the top flight of English football.
Bristol City - Second Division - 1905-06
When: After losing their first game of the season 5-1 to Manchester United, the Bristol Babe, as they were nicknamed, went on a perfect run from 9 September to 2 December 1905.
Ended by: A 1-1 draw away to Leeds City on 9 December 1905.
Champions: Despite three more draws that December, Bristol City only lost one further game all season to claim the title and promotion to the First Division.
Manchester United - Second Division - 1904-05
When: A year before Bristol City matched them, Manchester United won 14 consecutive games between 15 October 1904 and 3 January 1905.
Ended by: A 1-1 draw at Bristol City on 7 January 1905.
Champions: Remarkably, United finished third and missed out on promotion to the First Division after falling behind Bolton and eventual champions Liverpool. They would be promoted in second behind Bristol City the following season.
Every side to have reached 14 straight league wins has seen the streak end with an away draw in the following game.
Chelsea could be going for their 15th win away at Leicester on 14 January - will it be the reigning champions who finally defy this year's favourites?
BBC Radio 5 live football correspondent John Murray
Talk about rarity value - we might witness something here that no team has been able to achieve in any one top-flight season since this league was first played in 1888.
And if they manage it, Chelsea will become only the fifth team to win 14 consecutive league matches at any time, in any of the divisions.
Tottenham are already one of the victims of this Chelsea winning streak, having lost at Stamford Bridge in November.
But they will have other ideas this time round, and with good reason too, after running into a rich vein of form of their own with four successive wins.

Article:The US-owned firm said its base in Coalbrookdale was "no longer economically viable".
Castings made at the site will now be sourced from elsewhere in the UK and Europe.
The news comes less than two years since AGA Rangemaster was sold for about £130m to Chicago kitchenware firm - the Middleby Corporation.
At the time Middleby said it intended to "maintain manufacturing operations in the UK" but has been steadily reducing the Coalbrookdale workforce.

The company moved most of its oven-making there in 1947.
In a statement, the company said: "In recent times we have introduced a number of initiatives to support the foundry, but unfortunately we have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we need to cease the manufacture of castings at Coalbrookdale and close this facility."
Some workers will be transferred to other roles within the group.
"The closure of the foundry is part of a plan to improve efficiency and secure the longer-term future of the AGA brand and its manufacture in the UK," the firm added.
The Aga foundry in Ketley will remain open.

Article: Ian Taylor stopped proceedings for the Portland helicopter, which was retired on Friday after 22 years.
The helicopter has been axed in favour of a Hampshire-based regional service.
The coastguard said the diver was rescued within 40 minutes, but Mr Taylor said the wait for the rescue earlier was "disgraceful".
He interrupted a memorial service, which included the unveiling of a commemorative stone, at Portland harbour.
He apologised and was applauded by those who had gathered for the service as he left.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the "unwell diver" - a man - was airlifted to hospital but did not give any further details of his condition.
"For a significant proportion of their time, coastguard helicopters are not on the ground at their base but are out conducting their duties around the UK," a spokeswoman added.
"When an incident occurs, the UK Coastguard tasks the most appropriate resources, be they lifeboats, coastguard rescue teams, helicopters or other local resources."
The memorial stone bears the names of all 46 former crew and staff.
The decision to retire the service comes despite a campaign and 100,000-signature petition to save it.
It is part of a new restructuring of the MCA that will see a fleet of search and rescue helicopters operate from 10 bases around the UK.
The MCA said it was 15 minutes flying time from Lee-on-Solent, where the new Leonardo AW189 helicopter is based, to Portland.
Heli Operations saved the Portland helicopter base at Osprey Quay last year and it will now be used as a refuelling facility.

Article: Police closed the busy route throughout Saturday after reports that an explosion was heard near Marne Barracks at 03:00 GMT.
Officers conducted searches across the area where the noise was reported but found no obvious signs of an explosion.
No-one was injured and police have ruled out any links to terrorism.
North Yorkshire Police said eight members of the public came forward to report hearing what they described as an explosion in the area.
The initial call was made by staff at the barracks.
Supt Dave Hannan said police kept the road closed for so long, which caused mass congestion and frustration for thousands of motorists, for public safety.
He said: "We are satisfied that the call to the police was made with good intent.
"In view of the location of the suspected explosion, the source of the information, the current threat to UK security and a report a few hours earlier of a vehicle seen in suspicious circumstances outside the barracks, we were not prepared to take any chances with people's safety and had to carry out a very extensive and thorough investigation.
"Officers have worked throughout the night and day to identify and locate the driver of the vehicle and we are now satisfied that he was not connected to the reported explosion and we have now eliminated him from our enquiries.
"We have also ruled out any link to terrorism.
"We may never find out what the source of the explosion was, however, following the search and investigation I am now satisfied that there is no threat to members of the public.
"A number of possibilities have been looked into, however, there is no information or evidence to say this reported explosion was a criminal or deliberate act."
During the course of the search, the Army's bomb disposal unit was called to the discovery of the box of ageing detonators near the perimeter fence of Marne Barracks, these have now been removed for safe disposal.
They have been ruled out as the cause of the reported explosion.
A spokesman for Catterick Garrison said the inquiry was police-led and did not have any information about how close the explosion was to the barracks.
On the Ministry of Defence website, Catterick Garrison is described as the army's "largest training establishment".
It covers 2,400 acres (971 hectares) and 20,000 acres (8,094 hectares) of training land.
The garrison is situated just a few miles from the A1 and also includes the outstations of Ripon, Dishforth and Topcliffe.

Two goals from Harry Kane and one each for Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker gave Spurs a 4-1 home win on Sunday.
"It is one of our best performances and results this season," said Pochettino.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic apologised to Hammers fans for the defeat - only their second in 10 games.
"It hurts more because it was Tottenham," Bilic told the club's website. "I want to apologise to the fans because it's a special kind of game and tomorrow it's not going to be very good for our fans to go to work with the Spurs teasing them.
"The performance matches the result to be fair. They were better than us. They wanted it more than in a normal game, but we simply were not good enough to get anything, other than being defeated."
Bilic was without his "best player" Dimitri Payet, who has scored five goals and assisted three more this season but will be out for the next three months with an ankle injury.
"We knew we would miss Payet and we will be without him for a long time but we didn't lose 4-1 because he wasn't playing," added the Croat.

Sunday showcased another high-pressing, energetic performance from Tottenham, who led 2-0 at the break thanks to Kane's neat close-range finish and Alderweireld's header from a corner.
Kane's second, soon after the break, essentially sealed the win before Walker added a well-taken fourth and Manuel Lanzini fired in a late consolation for the Hammers.
"I am very pleased with the performance and with the players. Congratulations to them," Pochettino told BBC Sport. "It was an amazing show and I feel very proud. We all feel very proud.
"The most important thing is that the players believe in the way we play and we share the same philosophy. Today was a big step forward because it was a very good example of how we want to play, and how we want to play in the future."
summary: Mauricio Pochettino said he was proud of his Tottenham players after they produced an "amazing" display to beat West Ham and equal a club record of 12 Premier League matches without defeat.
Text: Edin Dzeko scored early in each half - the first inside a minute - and Yaya Toure added a third in stoppage time as City moved into second place and within three points of Chelsea with two games in hand.

It was another sobering and thoroughly miserable night for United manager David Moyes as, for the second home league game in succession, the current gap in quality and strength between the reigning champions and their rivals was emphasised as City followed Liverpool by winning 3-0 and with plenty to spare.
City's hugely impressive display cut short Moyes's hopes of sparking a late run in this disappointing season and now they face a fight to even finish in the top six and claim a place in the Europa League.
Manuel Pellegrini's side have no such problems as they cruised to victory to complete an emphatic double over their arch-rivals after a 4-1 win at Etihad Stadium earlier this season and now move towards this weekend's game at Arsenal in ominously confident mood.
Yaya Toure completed 55 of his 60 passes in midfield (91.7%), scored his side's third goal and created three scoring chances (Source: Opta)
City started at blistering speed and were ahead inside a minute. In a blur of action Rafael's fine tackle stopped David Silva and when Samir Nasri's shot came back off the post Dzeko was perfectly placed to score.
United were torn apart by City's movement and creation and it took a fine diving save from goalkeeper David De Gea to stop Dzeko adding a second in front of the Stretford End.
As the half progressed City did not maintain their early pace and United, while clearly inferior, were able to at last find a foothold in the game but wasted two good opportunities when Marouane Fellaini shot tamely at Joe Hart and Juan Mata sidefooted over the top from a good position.
"Put simply, United were a mess against City. They looked and played like a team in disarray, led by a manager struggling horribly to get to grips with his task."
The giant Belgian was involved in a contentious moment when, while in possession himself, he senselessly elbowed Pablo Zabaleta and somehow escaped with only a yellow card from referee Michael Oliver.
United made a change at half-time when Tom Cleverley, who not surprisingly struggled in an unfamiliar role on the right flank, made way for Shinji Kagawa - but again City were faster out of the blocks and increased their lead after 56 minutes.
Dzeko was the scorer once more, showing great composure and technique to send a sidefoot volley high past De Gea at his near post - the signal for City's elated fans to start doing the "Poznan" celebration.

It had been another unhappy night for £27.5m summer signing Fellaini and it was no surprise when he was substituted and replaced by Antonio Valencia after 66 minutes, a move that was well received by United's fans.
City keeper Hart had rarely been tested but he showed good reactions to block a flick from Danny Welbeck as United searched for a way back into a contest where they had been outplayed for long periods.
United had never looked like claiming anything from this game and the scoreline was given a more realistic appearance in stoppage time when Toure scored his 21st goal of the season with a low finish.

Article: The 15-year-old boy suffered a cardiac arrest and burns. He is in hospital in Tours, about 120km (75 miles) north of the recreation centre in Lathus-Saint-Rémy, central-west France.
Another two youths are in hospital and five more were hurt in Monday's lightning strike.
Several are suffering from tinnitus.
The injured were among a group of 16 who had arrived for a week-long stay at the outdoor activities centre only that morning.
Although 13 French departments (administrative districts) had been placed on "orange alert" for violent storms at the time, the Vienne department - where the centre is located - was not one of them. The youths and their instructor were said to be outside at the time.
Psychological support was being offered to those affected by the incident, officials said.

Article: Zhifei Li, 28, smuggled more than 20 raw rhino horns, while Shusen Wei, 44, is charged with trying to bribe a federal law enforcement officer to aid Mr Li, federal prosecutors said.
Qing Wang is accused of sending carved rhino cups to Mr Li in Hong Kong.
US federal law bars trafficking in endangered species.
Mr Li and Mr Wei are Chinese nationals. The investigation was carried out by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to prosecutors, Mr Li sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to a co-conspirator in the US to buy rhino horns, which were sent in porcelain vases to another person in Hong Kong, in an effort to evade US authorities.
'Good health'
Mr Li is also accused of trying to buy two rhino horns for $59,000 (£38,000) in a hotel room in Miami in January from an undercover fish and wildlife officer. He also asked the undercover officer to procure more horns and send them to Hong Kong.
Mr Wei, who was sharing a hotel room with Mr Li, later asked an undercover informant to take a fish and wildlife officer out for dinner and offer her money to help Mr Li, prosecutors said.
Meanwhile, prosecutors say Mr Wang bought libation cups carved from rhino horn in the US and sent them to Mr Li in Hong Kong.
Some believe drinking from intricately carved rhino horn cups brings good health, and the cups are highly prized by collectors, US authorities said.
Native to Africa, the black rhinoceros is classified as a critically endangered species, according to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
But demand for rhino horns and the prices paid for them on the black market have soared in recent years, US prosecutors said.

Article: The two-day funeral was planned by Ali in the years before his death, according to a family spokesman.
Ali wanted the Muslim prayer service, known as a Jenazah, to be "a teaching moment", according to Imam Zaid Shakir, who led the service.
Muhammad Ali, "The Greatest", died on Friday aged 74.
More than 14,000 people had tickets to the event at the site of Ali's last fight in Louisville in 1961.

Ali's love affair with Africa
American Muslims attending the service and watching on TV said they hoped that the public prayers would help Americans to become more familiar with Islam and its practices.
In 1964, Ali famously converted to Islam, changing his name from Cassius Clay, which he called his "slave name".
He first joined the Nation of Islam, a controversial black separatist movement, before later converting to mainstream Islam.
He travelled the world as a boxer and speaker, and inspired Muslims around the world.
Abdul Rafay Basheer, 25, travelled from Chicago for the service and said he saw Ali as an ambassador for Muslims. He said the prayer service would help to demystify his religion.
That was a theme taken up by Dawud Walid from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"In a political climate in which Islamophobia is front and centre, his funeral will counterpunch the ridiculous notion that being a good Muslim and a good American are at odds," he said.
Ali "was willing to sacrifice the fame, the lights, the money, the glamour, all of that, for his beliefs and his principles," Imam Shakir said in his address to the packed auditorium after reciting prayers over Ali's coffin.
The funeral will continue on Friday with an interfaith memorial service and procession through Louisville passing key locations such as Ali's childhood home, and a museum dedicated to him.
Tickets to attend the Friday service ran out only one hour after they became available.
World leaders and celebrities will attend, including former US President Bill Clinton and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. President Barack Obama will not be able to attend due to his eldest daughter's graduation on the same day.
Speaking after Jenazah prayers, Dr Sherman Jackson, an Islamic scholar, used a boxing term to describe how "Ali put the question of whether a person can be a Muslim and an American to rest. Indeed, he KO'ed that question."

Text: The prime minister made her comments after discussing the implications of Brexit with her Irish counterpart Enda Kenny in Dublin on Monday.
The Irish border is one of the most critical issues for her government to handle during Brexit negotiations.
Mr Kenny said a "friction-free" trade link would be vital for both countries.
There are fears that a so-called hard Brexit could see the introduction of controls on movement and trade between the countries.
The Irish prime minister said he made it clear to Mrs May that "any manifestation of a hard border" would have "very negative consequences that [Mrs May] fully understands".
Mrs May said she understood that the ability of people to move freely across the Irish border is "an essential part of daily life".
"We need to find a solution which enables us to have as seamless and frictionless a border as possible between Northern Ireland and Ireland so that we can continue to see the trade, the everyday movements that we have seen up to now," she added.
The prime ministers said they also discussed the political crisis in Northern Ireland that has led to the calling of an assembly election.
Mrs May said the difficulties faced by the institutions at Stormont were "serious".
"It is fundamentally important that we work with Northern Ireland's political leadership to find a solution," she said.
After the talks, Mr Kenny said he intended to accept an invitation from Donald Trump to visit the White House on St Patrick's Day despite the US president's controversial immigration crackdown.
He said he disagreed with Mr Trump's immigration policy banning citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US.
But Mr Kenny added that it was important to "say face-to-face to the president the issues that are of importance to us".
"I don't want a situation where 35 million Irish-Americans or the 50,000 undocumented Irish who are in the States are left without contact or connection during St Patrick's week," he said.
"We have had great influence in the US over the years - we still have that influence and we intend to use it."
Earlier, Mrs May met leaders and ministers from the UK's three devolved governments at a summit in Cardiff.
The representatives from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales pressed her for a greater role in Brexit negotiations with the EU and Mrs May told them she would "intensify" work on their proposals for the talks on the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
summary: Theresa May has said she wants to see a "seamless, frictionless border" between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after the UK leaves the EU.
Q: But he told the BBC's Andrew Marr the UK needed a "hard-headed assessment" of issues such as the EU customs union.
On the same programme, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox did not reveal his stance on the customs union, which sets standard tariffs EU-wide.
He said he was "a free trader", but the government would reach a view.
Staying a member of the customs union would, however, mean "limitations" on the UK's ability to set its own trade tariffs, which would in turn limit the kind of deals it could do with the rest of the world, Mr Fox added.
Who has access to the single market?
What are the UK's post-Brexit trade options?
Mr Osborne, who argued for Remain, said it was essential that close relations with countries such as France and Germany were not sacrificed in pursuit of new trade deals with other nations including China.
He told the Andrew Marr Show: "Yes it's true the grass may be greener outside of these arrangements and we may be able to conduct new trade deals with the United States, Australia and so on.
"But that shouldn't come at a price of giving up existing free trade agreements we have with Germany and France.
"You can't say we are a beacon of free trade in the world and then the main thing you achieve is a huge act of protectionism, the biggest in British history."
Mr Osborne - who lost his job in the cabinet after the referendum - admitted the Remain campaign lacked "some of the authenticity and optimism" of the Leave camp, and focused too much on dire predictions.
"We discovered there was not much out there in terms of support for European friendship and so we ended up talking a lot about the economy and, as chancellor, of course, I was centre stage in that."
He also said the pledge to get net migration down to the tens of thousands "damaged" the government in the referendum because "we didn't really have an answer" when challenged on why it had been missed.
Mr Osborne said he hoped the predictions he made about the economy post-Brexit turn out "not to be true."
But he told the programme he would "wait and see what happens" as the pound had fallen sharply since the referendum and Britain was "poorer as a result".
Also speaking to Andrew Marr, Mr Fox said Brexit the question of the customs union was "not binary".
"I hear people talking about hard Brexit and soft Brexit as though it's a boiled egg we are talking about, it's a little more complex. So, Turkey, for example, is in part of the customs union, but not in other parts."
Mr Osborne's appearance on the show marked his first TV interview since he was sacked by Prime Minister Theresa May.
He said he had "learned a lot" during his time as chancellor and wanted to attempt to understand what he had got right and what went wrong.
During the London 2012 Paralympics he was booed while handing out a medal, which he admitted "hurt", particularly as his children were in the crowd.
But he added: "Sometimes those moments do help change you for the better."
He said his work trying to promote a Northern Powerhouse was also allowing him to travel around the country and attempt to "understand why people feel the system is not working for them".
Earlier this week, the former chancellor told a Commons debate British MPs were deceiving themselves if they thought they did not have some responsibility for what had happened in Syria.

Q: 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."

Q: Bishop Pat Storey said the invitation to a "female, northern Protestant to speak at a Catholic, republican commemoration" was "courageous and generous".
Among those at the annual commemoration were Irish President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
Bishop Storey said the decade of historic commemorations, a year before the centenary of the Easter Rising, was an "opportunity for not only remembering the past but creating and shaping the future".
She told the Arbour Hill commemoration on Wednesday that while the Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland was "not a part of my story," she wanted and needed to try to understand it.
"I need to walk in your shoes generously," she said.
"That means listening when I would rather speak; hearing your story when I would rather tell mine; relating to the commemorations of your community when I would rather remember wrongs done to mine."
The bishop, who grew up in Belfast and was a rector in Londonderry before she was elected, added: "Could we, together, commit to walking in each other's shoes for a time? Could we vow to be generous when we commemorate?
"It would take personal sacrifice, especially when you have endured personal loss, but perhaps this is the time to mend, and the time for generosity."
Bishop Storey, who was elected in 2013 by the Church of Ireland as Bishop of Meath and Kildare in the Republic of Ireland, said reflecting on history was a time for mending broken and wounded relationships.
"If Ireland is about anything, it is about relationships ... yet how often we have specialised in welcoming the tourist and the outsider, and deeply wounded one another," she said.
The 1916 Easter Rising saw Irish rebels attempt to seize the capital from British imperial forces.
British troops put down the rebellion and a number of its leaders were captured and executed.

Q: The sports carmaker, owned by VW, is pushing to get its battery-powered model on to the market in 2019 and is spending about €1bn (£836m; $1.1bn) to get it on the road.
It wants to compete with the pioneering California-based Tesla for a share of the market.
Porsche admitted that finding staff for the project is tough.
"I'm not denying the battle for talent is tough," said Andreas Haffner, human resources boss at Porsche.
"One can in fact describe what is going on now as a 'war for talents'. We are in direct competition with other automakers and suppliers and IT firms in our global search for talented experts. Money alone is not enough to attract these creative minds."

Summarize:
Messi and his father Jorge are both accused of defrauding the authorities of more than €4m (£3.1m; $5m).
The court ruled that Messi should not be granted impunity for not knowing what was happening with his finances.
The pair, who deny the charges, are alleged to have withheld the money between 2007 and 2009.
The income related to Messi's image rights, including contracts with Banco Sabadell, Danone, Adidas, Pepsi-Cola, Procter and Gamble, and the Kuwait Food Company.
The footballer and his father are suspected of avoiding paying Spanish tax by using companies in Belize and Uruguay to sell the rights to use Messi's image.
The high court in Barcelona said on Wednesday that a decision over whether or not the accused was aware of the fraud scheme should be left for the court hearing.
Messi's defence argued that the player had "never devoted a minute of his life to reading, studying or analysing" the contracts, El Pais newspaper reports.
It follows a similar ruling from a Spanish judge in October last year, when an appeal by the prosecutor to quash the charges against the star striker was thrown out. They had recommended charges be dropped on the grounds that Messi's father was responsible for his finances.
Messi and his father made a voluntary €5m "corrective payment", equal to the alleged unpaid tax plus interest, in August 2013.
Messi joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old in 2000, and made his first-team debut three years later.
He soon became one of the most influential players at the Catalan team, winning Europe's most prestigious club competition - the Champions League - four times.
The four-time World Player of the Year is now considered by many experts to be one of football's best ever players.

It's the month of May and, as often in France, it comes with its string of scandalous sex allegations involving French politicians. | Five years ago, IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) was accused of attempted rape after his arrest on an Air France plane bound for Berlin, where he was due to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss the euro crisis, although the charges were later dropped.
Now the deputy speaker of the French assembly, the ecologist Denis Baupin, has had to resign after being accused by eight women from his party of sexual impropriety.
The timing of the accusations against Denis Baupin appears highly political, amid infighting within the Green Party.
It doesn't mean that the facts described by the accusers (including groping in dark corridors and sending salacious texts) did not take place, simply that the allegations may amount to nothing more than smears, especially as the facts date back more than three years and can no longer be tried under French law.
Denis Baupin, 53, is left having to sue his accusers for defamation to try to prove his innocence. He vigorously denies the allegations.
Radical left feminists such as Caroline de Haas and Clementine Autain claimed that "everybody had known about it for years".
But then why has nobody spoken up before, especially in the Green Party, where transparency is almost an ideology? Social media were quick on the case of Denis Baupin, but it felt more like the Inquisition than justice.
These allegations have thrust into the spotlight many different aspects of the problem of sexual harassment in France.
The DSK scandal was a watershed moment in contemporary France in that it allowed French women to talk and be heard on the subject of casual misogyny and everyday sexism that seem ingrained in French culture.
As a French woman born in the seventies, I was taught both Simone de Beauvoir and the art of gracefully enduring daily sexism, as long as it didn't go too far, but the limits were murky and never really explained to any of us.
Besides, when I started in journalism, the legal notion of sexual harassment, or for that matter moral harassment, was deemed a thing invented by the Americans to make human relations miserable.
I simply learnt quickly not to remain alone in the presence of certain older colleagues, to escape their groping with a smile and a joke, and to ignore their "declarations of love".
It usually worked and, after all, we were heirs of 18th-Century literary and artistic greats Marivaux and Fragonard - one had to abide by certain cultural, unwritten laws. I must say that I also benefited from the protection of older male and female colleagues who knew who the philanderers were.
With time, one developed a sophisticated radar. But for most of us, it is still a question of keeping out of the way of male-chauvinists rather than fighting them directly.
Perhaps it is because many of the "new feminists" who do take them on seem to "imply that women are by definition victims and men all predators", as the editor of Causeur magazine, Elizabeth Levy, put it.
"There have always been men, and women, abusing their power to obtain sexual favours," she argues. "But now, and because of a few fools, the whole male gender is incriminated. The new feminists say they want to free us from sexism, but what they really want is to invent a genderless and sexless world."
French society seems at a crossroads, torn between the desire to crack down on sexual harassment, move forward and free itself from a long tradition of male chauvinism - and the reluctance to start a gender war.

Q: Councillors "unanimously agreed to the proposals", a spokesman said.
Coventry councillors supported a deal to sell the authority's share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership rugby club, but the move has angered many Wasps fans.
The council said the move guaranteed Coventry City Football Club's continuing tenancy at the stadium.
The football club would also have "primacy over match fixtures", it added.
The move by Wasps, who were traditionally a London team but have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years, has been approved by the Professional Game Board.
The city already has a long-established rugby union club, Coventry, which was formed more than 130 years ago and currently plays in National League One.
Wasps said they were "delighted that Coventry City Council have unanimously approved the sale of their shares in ACL to Wasps" and that final details of the agreement would be confirmed on Wednesday.
"This decision has not been taken lightly, it has been a very thorough and detailed process and we truly believe this is the best option to secure a successful long-term future for the club," a statement said.
It added: "It is no secret that the club has been searching for a permanent home for many years.
"We are very excited to be in a position to fulfil this ambition and to be able to move to the Ricoh Arena; it is an outstanding arena in a truly fantastic city.
"We understand this is an unsettling period for our supporters and we will be holding a series of meetings for our season ticket holders, starting this week, where we can speak face-to-face to explain our decision and to address their concerns."
But there was an angry response from many fans on Twitter. James Higson tweeted: "What do you suggest we do now then? 6 hour round trip to Coventry every weekend? Total disgrace, I'm no longer a Wasps fan."
Shane O'Brien tweeted: "Every single one of your ST holders should boycott the remainder of your games this year." And Kristian Ross wrote: "Makes me sick to the stomach. The day rugby died and money won."
And Wasps player Tom Varndell said on Twitter: "Lots of tweets from @WaspsRugby fans who feel v upset & angry, as a player I ask plz keep giving us ur cont support, big games coming!!"
Wasps' move to the Ricoh Arena was ratified by the Professional Game Board (PGB) a ruling body made up of members from various bodies, including The Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby.
Wasps' relocation to the Midlands would be purely for matches - and will not come into conflict with the academy systems run by the neighbouring professional clubs to the Coventry area - champions Northampton, Premiership rivals Leicester and Championship side Worcester.
The council jointly owns the stadium with the charity the Alan Higgs Trust.
The council spokesman said: "The deal ensures the council makes a return on its original investment of £13.7m into the Arena development alongside significant investment into grassroots and community rugby development across the city."
In August, League One side Coventry City agreed a two-year deal with ACL to return to the stadium, following a long-running row over rent.
The councillors' vote was held in private because of "commercial confidentiality".
Ann Lucas, leader of the Labour-run city council, told the public part of the meeting councillors were aware of the "seriousness" of the decision and that they represented residents.
"We are people who live in Coventry, who love Coventry," she said.
She later said in a statement: "This deal would not have happened if it threatened the future of the Sky Blues or Coventry Rugby Club.
"This is the most important decision this council has ever made about the future of one of its best community assets and we would not have made it unless we were confident it was the right thing to do."
Coventry City FC supporters' group Sky Blues Trust and several other groups earlier issued an open letter urging the council not to take a final decision at the meeting and to include the organisations in a consultation process.
However, following the meeting, Sky Blues Trust spokesman Jan Mokrzycki said it was a "new start" and the trust would seek a "good relationship" with its new landlord and hoped the football club could stay at Ricoh for longer than the two-year agreed deal.
Wasps said: "It's important to us to make clear that we see the Ricoh as the home of Coventry City Football Club and are committed to it staying that way, and that we are already working with Coventry Rugby Club to ensure both clubs thrive and grow."

Q: The 63-year-old follows on from Edwin Morgan who died, aged 90, last August. He had held the post since it was created in 2004.
Ms Lochhead, originally from North Lanarkshire, is a widely recognised poet, author, translator, playwright, stage performer and broadcaster.
Her first official engagement will be to open the new Burns Museum in Alloway on Friday.
"I am as delighted as I am surprised by this enormous honour," she said.
"I accept it on behalf of poetry itself, which is, and always has been, the core of our culture, and in grateful recognition of the truth that poetry - the reading of it, the writing of it, the saying it out loud, the learning of it off by heart - all of this matters deeply to ordinary Scottish people everywhere."
Ms Lochhead will stand down from her post as Glasgow's Makar in order to fulfil the new role.
The artist was born at Newarthill, near Motherwell, in 1947.
She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and taught art at schools in Glasgow and Bristol.
She was Writer in Residence at Edinburgh University from 1986 to 1987 and Writer in Residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988.
Her first collection of poems, Memo for Spring, was published in 1972 and won a Scottish Arts Council Book Award.
The artist is a fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the Glasgow Institute of Art, Glasgow Institute of Architects and the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.
She also holds honorary doctorates from 10 Scottish universities.
Ms Lochhead was confirmed in post by First Minister Alex Salmond and former first ministers Lord McConnell and Henry McLeish at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Mr Salmond said: "As an author, translator, playwright, stage performer, broadcaster and grande dame of Scottish theatre, Ms Lochhead embodies everything a nation would want from its national poet.
"With a natural ability to reach all ages and touch both sexes through her writing, Ms Lochhead has also been immensely successful at championing the Scots language.
"She continues to reach out to school pupils through her work which is widely read in Scotland's schools and she is also a much valued role model, advocate and inspiration for women who are given a strong voice in her writing."
Ms Lochhead was selected from a shortlist recommended by a committee of representatives from Scotland's literature community.
Robyn Marsack, director of the Scottish Poetry Library, said: "As National Poet, Liz Lochhead will be a great ambassador for the poetries of Scotland - past, present and future.
"We are delighted to be working closely with her in her new role, furthering the Scottish Poetry Library's aim of bringing people and poems together."
Andrew Dixon, chief executive of Creative Scotland, added: "The appointment of Liz Lochhead as national poet sends out an important message about the role which artists play in celebrating the culture of Scotland.
"She commands enormous respect from the literary community and is held in huge affection by the Scottish public."

You don't always associate the Indian police with humour, but that is no longer the case in the western city of Mumbai.
+++++++
A: The Mumbai police Twitter account, launched in December, has turned into a social media sensation, mainly because of its witty tweets.
Ahmed Javed, who retired as the Commissioner of Mumbai Police last week, told the BBC that the wit and humour on the feed was a "conscious decision".
"We decided to bring in humour because that goes well [with the followers]. We also wanted to address a larger number of people, specially the youth," he said.
Mr Javed said he wanted his force to become "more accessible" for the city's residents, but he knew that "a dry and boring [Twitter] account would fail to catch the attention of the youth".
He added that the police had achieved what "it had set out to do on Twitter".
The account has been posting tweets about several issues, but their campaign against drugs has attracted the most attention.
But the Mumbai police is not just receiving appreciation for its tweets, it's getting some interesting responses as well. "We wanted people to get involved and there have been funny responses to our Tweets. We wanted to take serious subjects and package them in a way that the message goes through and people also like them. This was the end result we had in mind," Mr Javed said.
Mr Javed said that the content on their Twitter accounts comes from a joint team of police officers and external consultants.
"We debate and discuss our tweets before posting. We also discuss how to build specific campaigns like #Avoiddrugs and #followtrafficrules," he said.
The police also ran a Twitter campaign against cyber crimes.
And they also found innovative ways to warn people about violence against women.

Olympic champion Greg Rutherford is planning to host a long jump competition for some of the world's top athletes - in his back garden.
+++++++
A: Rutherford has a long jump runway and pit at his home in Woburn Sands near Milton Keynes.
"I think I will actually have an exceptionally good field of jumpers, better than a Diamond League meeting to be honest," he said.
He said Australian long jumper Mitchell Watt was among the interested parties.
Rutherford, who won gold to Watt's silver at London 2012, built the runway and pit with help from his father.
The plan is to host the event in September, after the Rio Olympics.
"We are going to get a grandstand for maybe 50 or 100 people, put it right next to the runway pit and after have a party in the garden," said Rutherford.
"I want to get funding behind it so the athletes can be paid - I can create something that I feel the rest of the sport isn't doing."
Rutherford said Olympic and World Championships triple jump gold medallist Christian Taylor (USA) and World Championships long jump silver medallist Christian Lapierre had also expressed an interest in competing.
Speaking ahead of Friday evening's Great City Games street athletics event in Manchester, Rutherford joked that Carl Lewis, the 1984 and 1988 Olympic gold medallist, would probably not be invited.
"I don't think I'd want Carl anywhere near my house to be honest," he said.
Lewis, along with world record holder Mike Powell, has been critical of the current state of long jumping.
"If him and Carl want to come back, I'll welcome them all back. I'll happily scalp them," said Rutherford.
A British Athletics spokesman said: "Should the long jump pit meet official competition standards, this could be something British Athletics would look to support."

A 60-year-old motorcyclist has died after a crash involving a truck in Shetland.
+++++++
A: | Emergency services were called to the scene, on the B9071 between the villages of Aith and Voe, at about 17:00 on Monday.
The man was taken to Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick for treatment but Police Scotland said he died on Tuesday morning from his injuries.
The road was closed to allow a collision investigation to take place.
Sgt Donald MacKinnon said: "Our thoughts are with this man's family at this very sad time.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time in question and saw either vehicle to please get in touch on 101 as we establish the circumstances surrounding this incident.

The Parkhead club had successfully campaigned for him and his relatives to avoid deportation from Scotland.
But, after six years, Feruz left for Chelsea - and later reportedly downplayed Celtic's role in the deportation case.
He has since gone out on loan to several clubs, including Scottish Championship side Hibs.

The Wales and British and Irish Lions full-back's contract with the French club expires at the end of 2016-17.
Cardiff Blues would be favourites to sign Halfpenny, with Scarlets also interested.
"It's a head versus heart decision for Leigh," said Phillips.
"We will hope he comes back, but he's his own man and I would respect his decision, whatever it is."
Halfpenny joined Toulon from Blues in 2014 and if he returns to Wales, it would be on a National Dual Contract in which the WRU would pay 60% of his salary and his region the rest.
He has scored 606 points at international level, 557 of them for Wales and the rest as the Lions' goalkicker as they beat Australia 2-1 in 2013.
Phillips added: "We have made him the best offer we possibly can.
"The clock is ticking now. It's at a point where Toulon would want some certainty some time in the next couple of weeks.
"Any way you look at it, you would want to have Leigh playing in Welsh rugby.
"On the pitch he's a winner and off the pitch he's an ambassador for Welsh rugby.
"When you ask little kids, who is their favourite player many of them would say Leigh Halfpenny."
Phillips also defended the decision to allow Rob Howley to join Warren Gatland as part of the Lions set-up next summer.
"I think Warren and Rob will both benefit as coaches from the Lions experience," added Phillips.
"I don't think the South Sea Island tours will be hugely beneficial to them.
"We genuinely have to give some coaches exposure so I am comfortable with that decision."
Sum: The Welsh Rugby Union has made "the best offer it can" to bring Leigh Halfpenny back from Toulon, says governing body chief executive Martyn Phillips.
Aribo set up three goals in Monday's 4-1 win over Bristol Rovers, adding to an assist against Southend on 31 December.
Robinson worked with Alli at previous club MK Dons before the 20-year-old moved to Tottenham Hotspur.
"Four assists in two games is incredible. I have seen it before with a very special talent who is working in north London now," he said.
Robinson handed Alli his Dons debut as a 16-year-old in November 2012, and the midfielder scored 24 goals in 88 appearances for the Buckinghamshire club before joining Spurs in the summer of 2015.
Aribo, 20, made his first-team debut for Charlton in October, and last month extended his contract with the Addicks until 2019.
"South-east London is a hotbed for talent and I do class myself as a developer," Robinson added to BBC Radio London.
"I spoke to the owner [Roland Duchatelet] after the game at Southend and he was really excited about Joe.
"My job is to keep that fire fuelled and this club moving forward."
Meanwhile, Robinson says he has taken Ademola Lookman "out of the firing line", with the winger linked with a move away from The Valley in the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old is on the brink of a £10m move to Everton and has missed the Addicks' last two matches.
"A deal has not been done," Robinson, 36, said.
"But there is so much talk surrounding the young man I can't see it being too long. There is no smoke without fire."
Sum: Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo has been compared to England's Dele Alli by Addicks boss Karl Robinson.
Meeting Theresa May for talks in Paris, Francois Hollande said he recognised the UK needed time to prepare but stressed: "The sooner the better."
He said the UK's choice was to stay in the single market and accept freedom of movement or to "have another status".
Mrs May said she would deliver on demands for "controls" on movement.
During a joint press conference with the UK's prime minister following talks at the Elysee Palace, he said he respected the UK's decision to leave the EU and said, in terms of a timescale for negotiating a new relationship: "For France, the sooner the better."
"There cannot be discussions or pre-negotiations before the negotiations, but we can of course prepare these negotiations and we can understand that your government, that's just been formed, needs this time."
He said uncertainty was the greatest danger and also repeated France's argument that the UK could only get access to the single market if it accepted the free movement of people.
"It will be a choice facing the UK - remain in the single market and then assume the free movement that goes with it or to have another status. That will be the subject of the negotiation."
He added: ""None can be separated from the other. There cannot be freedom of movement of goods, free movement of capital, free movement of services if there isn't a free movement of people."
There was much at this news conference of the permanent relationship between the UK and France - of the alliance which both leaders said pre-dated the EU and would outlast Brexit.
The atrocity in Nice a week ago was a chance for Theresa May to extend her feelings to the families of those killed and injured, and for Francois Hollande to speak of strong co-operation on security and defence.
That was the agreeable backdrop both leaders sought to conjure up in the full knowledge that the coming reality - the negotiation over Brexit - will not be easy.
The prime minister seems to have won her way over the timing of article 50 - the French are not going to make a problem if it's put off until early next year. But President Hollande said that on the key issues of access to the single market and free movement of people, the UK had to understand: you don't get one without the other.
But Mr Hollande reaffirmed his support for France's Le Touquet border agreement with Britain, under which the UK operates immigration checkpoints in Calais and Dunkirk, while France has a checkpoint at Dover.
And he thanked the PM for her "message of solidarity" in the wake of the truck attack in Nice.
Mrs May said she understood the need for certainty and that was why she had said she did not intend to trigger article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU, this year.
She spoke briefly in French, stressing the deep friendship between the two countries, before going on to say she wanted to maintain "the closest possible economic relationship".
The prime minster said bilateral trade between the UK and France reached 50bn euros last year, each was the other's fifth largest export market, French companies employed 360,000 people across the UK while the UK was the fourth largest investor in France.
"So as the UK leaves the EU we will have to determine how to maintain the closest possible economic relationship between our two countries - and it will take time to prepare for those negotiations."
But she added that the EU Referendum had seen a "very clear message that we should introduce some controls to the movement of individuals from the countries of the European Union into the UK".
"I'm clear that the government should deliver and will deliver on that for the British people but we also want to get the right deal on the trade in goods and services and I think this is important economically not just for the United Kingdom but for other countries within the European Union as well."
She also stressed that France and the UK would continue to work together on issues such as counter-terrorism and defence and Britain would "meet our Nato obligation to spend 2% of our GDP on defence and to keep our promise to spend 0.7% of our national income on aid".
It comes after she held talks about Brexit with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said such encounters were currently at a "getting to know you" stage, with EU leaders waiting to see what the UK wants to achieve from the negotiations.
On Wednesday, at a joint press conference with Mrs Merkel, Mrs May said the UK was in no rush to trigger the two-year process of leaving the EU - telling reporters that although "this would not please everyone" it was right to hold off until the UK's "objectives were clear".

Question:
Article:Officials at Public Health England said the amount of activity people did started to tail off from the age of 40.
They are urging those between the ages of 40 and 60 to start doing regular brisk walks.
Just 10 minutes a day could have a major impact, reducing the risk of early death by 15%, they say.
But PHE estimates four out of every 10 40- to 60-year-olds do not even manage a brisk 10-minute walk each month.
41%
Do not manage one brisk 10 min walk per month
1 in 6
Deaths linked to inactivity
15% Reduction in risk of early death from at least one brisk 10 min walk per day
20% Less active than we were in the 1960s
15 miles Less walked a year on average than two decades ago
To help, the government agency is promoting a free app - Active 10 - which can monitor the amount of brisk walking an individual does and provide tips on how to incorporate more into the daily routine.
PHE deputy medical director Dr Jenny Harries said: "I know first hand that juggling priorities of everyday life often means exercise takes a back seat.
"But walking to the shops instead of driving, or going for a brisk 10-minute walk on your lunch break each day, can add many healthy years to your life."
Maureen Ejimofor, 44, started taking regular walks three years ago in a bid to improve her health.
At the time, she weighed 18 stone and wanted to make a change. Within seven months, she had lost nearly five stone.
She joined a local organised walking group in Kent and loved it so much she ended up becoming a walk leader in charge of taking groups of people out at the weekend.
She has been using the Active 10 app and encourages others to do the same, describing it as "really useful" in persuading users to get a "burst" of brisk walking into their day.
Another walking fan is Liam Quigley, who has just turned 60.
"My parents used to take us out walking all the time," he says.
"But unfortunately as I got older, I got a taste for the finer things in life, so I used to drink quite a bit, eat some of the wrong stuff. I actually put a lot of weight on.
"I like walking, and I decided to do something about it."
Mr Quigley joined Stockport Walkers and now takes 10-mile hikes.
"Since I joined, I've lost two stone. It's had a good effect on me," he says.
GPs are also being encouraged to get their patients walking faster - defined as a walk of at least 3mph that leaves you breathing faster and increases your heart rate.
Dr Zoe Williams, of the Royal College of GPs, said: "Every GP should talk to their patients about the benefits of brisk walking and recommend the Active 10 app."
PHE is focusing on those in middle age, because of the drop in activity levels.
It is recommended that people do 150 minutes of activity a week, but nearly half of those aged 40 to 60 fail to achieve that and one in five does less than 30 minutes.
While a daily 10-minute brisk walk will not get them to the recommended level, it will be enough to start making a difference to high blood pressure, diabetes, weight issues, depression and anxiety and musculoskeletal problems such as lower back pain.
PHE also hopes by getting this age group active it will have a knock-on effect among those who have children.

Question:
Article:In a report, the Wales Audit Office urged councils to be more ambitious about outsourcing work and allowing people to pay online or by phone.
But auditors admitted there were legal complexities and questions over whether people could afford the charges.
A spokesman for the councils said asking "hard-pressed residents" to pay more was "not always appropriate".
The report urged councils to take advantage of new opportunities to generate income under the 2003 Local Government Act.
As well as charges, it highlighted a range of money-making ideas authorities in Wales and England had introduced, including:
Cashless payments and other ways of making it simpler for people to pay charges were also praised.
"The use of technology is beginning to increase, but not universally," the report said.
"Its roll out is often dependent on the new system not costing more than traditional methods of collecting income."
However, the ability of residents to pay extra or increased charges was also an important factor, the watchdog said, with median gross weekly pay for 2014/15 ranging from £403 in Blaenau Gwent to £610 in Monmouthshire.
The report added some council cabinet members were "reluctant to deal with potentially controversial issues and will not approve increasing or introducing charges, even where the evidence for the increase or introduction is compelling".
It said the potential impact of charges on council policy should also be considered.
Examples included the setting of car park charges which could deter shoppers and tourists from visiting town centres, and rent increases for sports fields which could damage efforts to promote healthy living.
The Welsh Local Government Association warned on Wednesday that councils will need to cover extra costs totalling £750m by 2019-20.
"All councils will be faced with difficult choices about prioritising and further cutting services that have seen substantial reductions already," a spokesman said in response to the auditors' report on Thursday.
"The impression given by this report from the Wales Audit Office is that hard-pressed residents can be asked to pay further increased contributions, which is not always appropriate."
The spokesman added: "Many charges are capped by government regulations, and councils in Wales currently lack the powers that exist elsewhere in the UK so the 'options to generate income' are limited."
The Welsh Conservatives' local government spokesperson Janet Finch-Saunders said the recommendations "couldn't come at a worse time".
"In the last five years the average council tax bill has risen by a staggering £800, and I fail to see where families will find the extra cash," she said.
"Clearly local authorities face tough financial decisions ahead, but we can't simply pass the responsibility on to ratepayers."

"I think professional boxing has a major problem with drugs," said Bellew.
"There are not lives at risk in a 100m race. There are in a boxing ring and that is why it is so alarming."
Australian Browne, 36, has denied any wrongdoing and had said that he will clear his name.
Drug testing was a major issue of contention during Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao's long-running negotiations for their May 2015 superfight, with both fighters eventually agreeing to unannounced blood and urine testing.
Sheffield fighter Kid Galahad was banned for six months after failing a drugs test for steriod Stanozolol in September 2014.
Bellew believes the greater risks in boxing should correspond to lengthier bans.
"Steriods allow people to train much much harder and recover much much quicker," he added
"If someone is taking them in the couple of months in the lead-up to a fight they have such a huge advantage
"I suggest nothing less than a lifetime ban. It shouldn't take someone dying in the ring at the hands of a steroid-user for this to happen."
Bellew is to fight Congo's Ilunga Makabu for the WBC cruiserweight world title this summer, with Goodison Park mentioned as a possible venue.

input: Article: Lancashire lost six wickets for 51 runs as they were dismissed early for 308, trailing Northants by 130.
Duckett's attacking innings of 88 off 109 balls and Josh Cobb's more patient 52 enabled Northants to set Lancashire 414 to win as they declared on 283-9.
Paul Horton and Karl Brown survived the final six overs to end the day on 19-0 still requiring an imposing 395 to win.
In the morning session Lancashire's lower-order struggled against Steven Crook (3-28), with only Jordan Clark (18) reaching double figures in the lower order.
Despite losing Kyle Coetzer cheaply, Duckett backed up his first innings century with another fine knock to put the hosts on the back foot.
Although Duckett chipped Arron Lilley (3-97) to mid-wicket, Cobb, Crook (37) and last man Olly Stone (35) played some aggressive shots to make sure Lancashire's batted again before the close.
Lancashire will now need to beat their record fourth innings run chase against Northants of 305.
Lancashire captain Steven Croft: "We didn't get any partnerships going with the bat and we wanted to get nearer to their total or even bat past.
"There was some poor shot selection and we found it tough with the bat. We've put some great partnerships together down the order this season and losing six for 50, we're a lot better than that.
"We have to see tomorrow as a fresh day. It's a tough task ahead if we are to chase the runs down. It's there for us to do that and it's there for us to save the game."
Northants captain Alex Wakely: "It was a pretty good day for us. We haven't always played our best cricket when we've come up here so it's nice to be in a good position in this game.
"We wanted to take early wickets and we knew if we got one or two there was always the chance we could get a few more.
"Ben Duckett batted superbly. He has been superb in this whole game and I think he has been the best batsman in the game, He made it look easy."

Write an article based on this "Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson says he wants the club to play Europa League football within five years." | The former Barnsley boss, 35, took over at Ashton Gate in February and steered City to 18th in the Championship table.
The Robins have not played in the top flight since 1980 and were playing in the third tier as recently as 2015.
When asked where he sees the club in five year's time, Johnson said: "I'm going to stick my neck on the line a little bit and say Europa League."
Owned by local businessman Steve Lansdown - reportedly worth 2.3bn US dollars (£1.73bn) - the Robins won promotion to the Championship in 2015 before sacking manager Steve Cotterill in January, with the Robins 22nd in the table.
Lansdown, who also has stakes in local clubs from other sports, including Bristol's recently-promoted Premiership Rugby side, has previously said he wants to turn the city into a sporting force.
Johnson said City aim to "fast-track" efforts to emulate Swansea and Stoke, who have both featured in Europe's second-tier competition in recent years.
"We'll give it a right good go, that's for sure," said Johnson at Tuesday's BBC Radio Bristol & BBC Somerset sports forum.
"I believe it as well. I believe it is putting pressure on everybody at the club and we can deal with that pressure.
"Yes it will be very, very difficult, but why not? We're ready to go. Bristol is a fantastic city.
"I love the city, and the club, to bits. It's an amazing new stadium that will only get better as well."

There are hopes of creating 500 new jobs over the next five years.
The Wales Co-operative Centre will operate the Social Business Wales project, backed by £6m in EU funding and £5m from the Welsh government.
It says social businesses "often fill the gaps the private sector won't consider and the public sector can't support".
Social enterprises include ventures set up with a community focus and have a strong presence in deprived areas.
Nearly a third operate in the health and social care sector, and similarly in culture and leisure.
The project aims to help 500 businesses, including co-operatives, worker-owned companies and social enterprises.
It will also help charities take forward commercial ideas.
The investment comes at a time when more than two thirds of Welsh social businesses expect to increase their turnover in the next two to three years.
Finance Minister Jane Hutt said: "The social business sector plays an important role in supporting local economies, particularly in disadvantaged areas."
Chief executive of the Wales Co-operative Centre Derek Walker added: "We believe that social businesses have great potential for further growth in Wales."
CASE STUDY: 'WE KNEW WE WERE DOING SOME GOOD'
The project announcement is being made at the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC) - a social business in Neath.
It works with firms and organisations to make sure websites, apps and other digital media are accessible to people with visual and mobility impairments, dyslexia and learning disabilities.
The business provides work for people with disabilities and has a client list which includes Fujitsu, Santander and Channel 4.
How long has DAC has been going and how many people work there? Gavin Evans, director of operations: We have been operating for nearly four and a half years and have 21 employed staff and four volunteers at present.
Explain what a social business is - how does it differ in how you are set up and operate? My understanding of a social business is that the organisation requires investment in order to have some form of social gain. We have commercial and social missions and goals, the social impact being the big focus. We reinvest 100% our profits back into the business, as we operate on a not-for-profit basis. We initially placed all the investment in ourselves, and had some small amounts of funding for computer equipment from Welsh funding organisations.
We operate on a commercial basis, we sell our services. However, with investment and a good business plan, we can do a whole lot of more social good.
Any advice for someone thinking of setting up a social enterprise? I think the key advice to offer is to have belief and confidence in what you are doing. When Cam (other co-founder and director) and myself set up the company, the first few months were extremely difficult. But we knew we had a good model and, after all, we knew we were doing some good. I think that is key really, to know that there is a socially-beneficial goal at the end of it, and believe in what you are doing will benefit the wider community. DAC does this by ensuring other organisations' digital products are accessible to everyone. However, we also provide sustainable employment for individuals with disabilities. So there are two key drivers for us really.

Question:
Article:The Respect Shared Space Rally was held on the Ravenhill Road on Friday evening after the erection of a number of flags, including UVF flags, nearby.
This area is one of the most diverse in Belfast but some residents complained the flags were an attempt to mark it as being from one side of the community.
Dominica McGowan, a rally speaker, said people found flags "intimidating".
"I have absolutely no objection to people hanging flags on their own homes but these are public facilities, lamp posts belong to all.
"I pay my rates, as does everybody else, and they have no right to be hijacked," Ms McGowan added.
Union flags and and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) flags have been erected on lamp posts on Global Crescent and Cantrell Close.
The housing developments are part of the Together: Building United Communities strategy.
The strategy, launched by the Northern Ireland Executive in 2013, was aimed at "improving community relations and building a united and shared society".
Resident Ann Dullaghan, who also attended the rally, said the flags "have to come down".
"It's time for change, it's 2017 and people need to wake up."
However, last week, the South Belfast MP said she had found no widespread demands for the flags to be removed.
DUP MP Emma Little Pengelly said she had visited about 100 homes and found mixed views among residents.
She said the majority of residents she spoke to "didn't want a public fuss around this matter".
However, the MP added that some residents had raised concerns and she "reassured those individuals that I would be here to support them as well, I would represent their views to the housing association".
Police have said that it is not their responsibility to remove flags.
Officers will only take them down if there is a "substantial risk to public safety".

More than 100 people have attended a protest against the flying of flags in mixed housing estates in south Belfast.
input: Article: Winds of up to 135km/h (85 mph) were recorded in some areas, with up to 200mm of rainfall forecast for Tuesday.
A man is believed to be missing in floodwaters in Stroud to the north of Newcastle.
The State Emergency Service (SES) said it had received nearly 3,000 calls for help, with 19 flood rescues.
The agency said that most of the calls had come from Sydney and the regions of Hunter, Central Coast and Illawarra.
SES Deputy Commissioner Steven Pearce told ABC News that the number of calls for help had been "enormous".
"We haven't seen this sort of weather pattern, this east coast low or one as severe as this in years," he said.
"The consistent gale force winds which are actually cyclonic in some areas with gusts up to 135km/h."
The strongest winds overnight were recorded at Norah Head in the Central Coast region.
Meanwhile, 312mm of rainfall had fallen in Dungog in the Hunter region since Monday morning.
Local Fire and Rescue NSW said that crews were searching for a man who went missing after a camping ground was flooded in Stroud.
On Tuesday, a severe weather warning remained in place for damaging and destructive winds, heavy rain and damaging surf.
The areas affected are the Metropolitan, Hunter and Illawarra districts. Beach conditions in these regions are said to be particularly dangerous.
State-owned supplier Ausgrid tweeted that some 180,000 homes and businesses were without power across Sydney, Central Coast and Hunter.
But it added that crews were repairing fallen power lines at several locations.
The heavy winds and rain have also caused travel disruption in Sydney.
The Transport Management Centre for NSW said that staying home may be the best option for many people on Tuesday.
"If you don't need to be out on the road, probably best not to be," said spokesman Brett Moore, as quoted by ABC News.
A number of main roads and railway lines have had to be closed because of the storm.

The 32-year-old hit a hat-trick inside the first 16 minutes, with her third goal coming from long range.
"I did it once in training but very rarely do you wind up and hit it like that," said Lloyd, who missed a penalty in the 2011 final defeat by Japan.
"You train and train and train and I dreamed of scoring a shot like that."
Lauren Holiday and Tobin Heath also scored as USA became the first side to win the trophy on three occasions after previous successes in 1991 and 1999.
Lloyd, who had scored in each of her side's last three matches, took only three minutes to open the scoring in Vancouver.
Her second came two minutes later and, after Holliday's volley made it 3-0, she beat Japanese goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori from distance.
"When you're feeling good mentally and physically, those plays are instinctive," said the Houston Dash player.
Lloyd, who said she practises visualisation techniques, added: "I was at home with my headphones on but I was on the field and I was running and doing sprints.
"I completely zoned out and dreamed of playing in a World Cup final and scoring four goals. It sounds funny but that's what it is all about.
"I feel like I blacked out for the first 30 minutes of the game. It was crazy."
Trailing 4-0 after 16 minutes, Japan pulled two goals back through Yuki Ogimi and a Julie Johnston own goal before Heath grabbed a fifth for USA.
Lloyd's hat-trick took her total to six for the tournament, the same as Golden Boot winner Celia Sasic from Germany.
"I've had people believe in me," added the American midfielder. "Fitness was definitely an issue for me but I've turned that into a strength and the mental side of the game is a huge thing.
"I'm just really proud of everyone. It's a surreal moment, we made history."
Victory for the US under English-born coach Jill Ellis has come after criticism of the team's performances in the build-up to the tournament and during the group stages in Canada.
The 48-year-old took the job 14 months ago after previous boss Tom Sermanni was sacked.
But Ellis, who was born in Portsmouth, said: "I told the players they had to continue to believe in the process and it had to be a fast process because I was hired about year ago.
"There have been some growing pains but it's not vindication, it just feels really good and I could not be more proud of the players and the staff because I knew they had it in them."

Question:
Article:An inquiry is underway after 40 people were treated for breathing problems following the leak at Wild Duck Holiday Park in Belton near Great Yarmouth.
The complex has been evacuated and the pool remains closed to the public.
Haven, who own the site, said new arrivals on Monday would be directed to one of three other nearby parks.
The Health and Safety Executive, Great Yarmouth Borough Council environment services and Norfolk Fire Service chemical leak unit are involved in an investigation of the cause of the leak.
Hospitals in Gorleston, Norwich and Ipswich treated 33 for the effects of breathing in fumes and seven of those were kept in for observation overnight.
It has emerged that there may have been problems at the swimming pool earlier in the week.
Lesley Burrows, from Thetford, was there with young children from her sister's family.
"On the night they had persistent coughs and were very wheezy. They complained about the smell at the swimming pool.
"I was not swimming so it did not affect me and we did not think much of it at the time.
"We thought it was just normal swimming pool smell but after the incident on Sunday we began to think differently.
"We were going to go swimming again but decided to go to the beach instead and I think we were lucky to have done that."
Haven has said the investigation would be looking at the amount of chlorine that the pool equipment provided or whether it was some other cause.
Summarize the main points of that article.
Answer:
Seven people affected by chlorine fumes at a Norfolk seaside park swimming pool on Sunday were kept in hospital overnight.
Question:
Article:The US State Department urged leaders throughout the region to redouble efforts to lower tensions.
Iranian protesters angry over the execution stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran, setting fire to the building.
Sheikh Nimr was one of 47 people executed for terrorism offences.
He was a vocal supporter of mass protests in the Saudi-Arabia's Shia-majority Eastern Province in 2011.
In a statement, US state spokesman John Kirby appealed to Saudi Arabia's government to respect and protect human rights, and to ensure fair and transparent judicial proceedings.
Mr Kirby also urged the Saudi government to permit peaceful expression of dissent and, along with other leaders in the region, to redouble efforts to reduce regional tensions.
Sheikh Nimr's execution sparked anger and protests in Shia communities across the region, with protests in Saudi's Eastern Province as well as in Iran, Bahrain and several other countries.
In Tehran angry Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy late on Saturday, smashing furniture and starting fires before they were dispersed by Iranian police.
Eyewitnesses described seeing members of a paramilitary volunteer group throwing petrol bombs at the building.
Earlier, the diplomatic reaction from Shia-led Iran, the main regional rival to Sunni-led Saudi Arabia, had been fierce.
The foreign ministry in Tehran said the Sunni kingdom would pay a high price for its action, and it summoned the Saudi charge d'affaires in Tehran in protest.
For its part, Saudi Arabia complained to the Iranian envoy in Riyadh about what it called "blatant interference" in its internal affairs.
As the main Shia power in the region, Iran takes huge interest in the affairs of Shia minorities in the Middle East, making it inevitable that the two countries would clash over Sheikh Nimr's treatment.
But one of the principal concerns of the Saudis is what they see as the growing influence of Iran in places like Syria, Iraq and elsewhere.
Sheikh Nimr was a prominent, outspoken cleric who articulated the feelings of those in Saudi Arabia's Shia minority who feel marginalised and discriminated against, the BBC Middle East analyst Alan Johnston reports.
He was among 47 people put to death on Saturday after being convicted of terrorism offences.
At least one protest march was held in Qatif, in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, defying a ban on public protests.
Protesters shouted the slogans "The people want the fall of the regime", and "Down with the al-Saud family", reminiscent of the 2011 protests in the wake of the Arab Spring.
Sheikh Nimr's arrest in 2012, during which he was shot, triggered days of protests in Eastern Province in which three people were killed.
Saturday's executions were carried out simultaneously in 12 locations across Saudi Arabia. Of the 47 executed, one was a Chadian national while another was Egyptian. The rest were Saudis.
The international rights group Amnesty International said the 47 executions demonstrated the Saudi authorities' "utter disregard for human rights and life" and called Sheikh Nimr's trial "political and grossly unfair".
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr: Figurehead Shia cleric
Sheikh Nimr's family said he had been found guilty, among other charges, of seeking "foreign meddling" in the kingdom but his supporters say he advocated only peaceful demonstrations and eschewed all violent opposition to the government.
Saudi authorities deny discriminating against Shia Muslims and blame Iran for stirring up discontent.
Saudi Arabia carried out more than 150 executions last year, the highest figure recorded by human rights groups for 20 years.

Answer:
The United States has expressed concern that Saudi Arabia's execution of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr could further exacerbate sectarian rivalry in the Middle East.
Question:
Article:Six others were convicted of involvement in the murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider, who was hacked to death as he was returning home from a rally in the capital, Dhaka.
A five-year sentence was given to the head of Ansarullah Bangla, the group suspected of carrying out the attack.
Five more secular bloggers and writers were killed in Bangladesh in 2015.
The court said that one of the students sentenced to death, Faisal bin Nayeem, attacked Haider with a meat cleaver in front of the victim's house.
The other was tried and sentenced in absentia.
Haider was among a group of bloggers who had called for the execution of Islamist leaders for crimes committed in the 1971 war.
The blogger's father, Mohammad Nazim Uddin, said he was unhappy that only two men were given the death sentence.
"I'm not happy with the verdict. I reject this verdict. Five of them confessed their involvement in the killing. But only two were given death sentence. How is it possible?", he said.
There have been several clashes in recent years between Islamists and supporters of the secular Awami League.

Text: The charity found 37,283 dogs were left unclaimed in local authority kennels between April 2015 and March 2016.
One in eight were pets that could not be returned as their microchips had not been updated by their owners, it said.
In April, it became a legal requirement for all pet dogs to be microchipped with current contact details.
The results come from the organisation's annual survey of local authorities, which also revealed 3,463 stray dogs had been destroyed in the last year.
Jon Gerlis from the Dogs Trust told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We took a poll which found that only 9% of people saw updating their dog's microchip as a priority when they move home - that compares, unfavourably, to updating their digital television set."
"When you move home, a dog doesn't know its surroundings, but it naturally wants to go home, so it's probably the most crucial time in actually making sure that your chip details are up to date - especially if you don't have secure borders in your garden," he added.
Staffordshire bull terrier Dingle was picked up as a stray in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, around 10 September.
He was kept in a local authority pound for seven days before Dogs Trust Merseyside took him in.
Dingle, aged 12, was microchipped but the contact number registered on the database was no longer in use.
He is now up for rehoming at the centre.
Dogs Trust found the total number of stray dogs handled by councils had decreased by 21% - from 102,516 to 81,050.
Of those handled by councils, 16,447 were microchipped - 9,052 of which were reunited with their owners due to either a chip or ID plate.
The charity said the decline in stray dogs taken in by local authorities could partly be attributed to the change in the law relating to microchipping.
Owners who fail to microchip their pets with up-to-date contact details face a fine of up to £500.
Adrian Burder, the charity's chief executive, said: "To discover that the number of stray dogs in the UK is down from last year is promising, but with over 37,000 dogs remaining unclaimed in council pounds last year, it's clear we still have work to do.
"Local authorities work tirelessly caring for stray and abandoned dogs each year, but sadly they just don't have the resources or man power to care for every stray dog in the UK.
"Stray dogs that find themselves at Dogs Trust are the lucky ones, as we will never put a healthy dog to sleep, but not all of the unclaimed dogs are so fortunate."
Dogs Trust said it hoped the new law would significantly bring down the number of stray dogs taken in by councils next year.
summary: More than 4,700 stray dogs in the UK couldn't be reunited with their owners last year due to outdated microchips, animal charity Dogs Trust has said.
Question:
Article:The city council passed the motion unanimously at a special meeting.
The singer was praised for returning to stage the One Love Manchester concert less than two weeks after the attack on her arena gig, which killed 22 people.
Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese said it would have been understandable if she hadn't returned.
"But no - instead she, as an artist, a performer, was determined that she would not perform again until she had returned to Manchester to perform," he said.
"In doing so, she brought comfort to thousands, she raised millions for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund and became the first patron of that fund.
"And that's why I propose that Ariana Grande is made the first honorary citizen of the city of Manchester."
There are currently no plans for a ceremony to award Grande her citizenship in person.
Sir Richard Leese also hailed those who helped in the aftermath for showing the "spirit of Manchester... of strength and defiance".
Anne Marie McNally from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, who was at the Manchester Arena concert, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that the council should prioritise official recognition for the emergency services and members of the public who helped on the night.
"There were a lot of people on that evening who ran in to help," she said. "These people were there on the ground trying to save people, trying to help people as much as possible, helping children to get home to their parents.
"And the emergency services of course - they're human beings like us. Yes they're trained and they're skilled but they still had an awful lot to deal with. I'm sure that they've come away from the situation as traumatised as the ones that were in there."

Q: The group of 21, led by North Lincolnshire farmer David Cundall, is expected to to begin digging at Yangon International Airport.
Mr Cundall, who first heard stories of the buried planes in 1996, said: "We think we have found them."
Scientists and archaeologists including staff from Leeds University will join Mr Cundall on the expedition.
Mr Cundall said he hoped to restore any planes found by the team to flying condition in the UK.
He believes a large number of brand new Mark XIV Spitfires were buried in wooden crates on the orders of Lord Mountbatten during August and December 1945 as "surplus to requirements" at the end of World War II, said Mr Cundall.
Before flying out to Burma, he said the finds could be on the "same level as the Tutankhamun find in Egypt".
There could be up to 36 buried planes at the end of the airport's runway in Mingaladon and up to 124 aircraft in total, it is thought.
Mr Cundall said he expected the search to include three different airfields and to last about six weeks.
He said: "They'll be in a very good condition. If they haven't been damaged they should be easily restorable to flying condition."
Mr Cundall has been searching for, and digging up, crashed aircraft for 36 years.
In 2004, he conducted an electromagnetic survey of the site with the help of Dr Adam Booth, then of the University of Leeds, along with a further ground-penetrating radar survey.
Dr Booth, of Imperial College London, is still involved in the search for the planes.
The excavation team will also include war veteran Stanley Coombe, from Eastbourne, who responded to Mr Cundall's appeal for witnesses who saw them being buried 68 years ago.
Mr Coombe, who is now in his early 90s, was stationed in Burma at the end of World War II and is one of eight eye-witnesses to come forward.
It took Mr Cundall a further eight years following the electromagnetic survey, to sign an actual contract to start digging for the planes.
The contract allows the dig to go ahead and would see the Burmese government take 50% of the value of aircraft recovered, while Mr Cundall's share will be 30% and his agent 20%.
Mr Cundall said: "It's about preserving aeroplanes. The Spitfire was a very special aeroplane, it saved our neck in 1940 in the Battle of Britain.
"Built as a tool of war I am hoping to use them as a tool of friendship to bring Burma and Great Britain closer together."

Problem: Hundreds of fans travelled to Helsinki for Northern Ireland's game against Finland on Sunday, the final leg of a historic Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
The city centre was a sea of green and white before kick-off.
The team qualified for its first major tournament in 30 years after beating Greece 3-1 at Windsor Park on Thursday.
"We just came to party," was the chant from the supporters. And they didn't disappoint.
Even the locals found themselves caught up in the celebrations.
Northern Ireland fans made all the noise inside the half-full Olympic Stadium.
The reward was seeing their team collect the single point they needed to head to France as Group F winners.
Defender Craig Cathcart scored Northern Ireland's goal in a 1-1 draw.
It is the first time Northern Ireland has qualified for the finals of a major football tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
"Qualifying means everything," one fan said.
"I can't describe what this means after so many disappointments."
When asked about his realistic expectations for the Euro 2016 finals his answer was simple: "I expect we'll win."
Northern Ireland supporters' optimism is as hearty as their singing.
The Republic of Ireland, however, had to settle for a place in the play-offs for the tournament finals after they fell to a 2-1 defeat by Poland in Warsaw.

SAPT believes the 14-mile line would "revolutionise" transport in the area.
SAPT chairman Dr John McCormick said the train service would appeal to commuters and help reduce journey times, congestion and pollution.
It comes as a consultation about transport in the north east of Scotland draws to a close on Tuesday.
Transport partnership Nestrans has been asking for feedback on several options aimed at improving links to the north of Aberdeen.
Dr McCormick explained: "Aberdeenshire suffered most from the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, losing all its suburban and rural railway lines.
"Train services to Fraserburgh and Peterhead were withdrawn in 1965 and these are now the furthest isolated towns from the Scottish rail network.
"The very successful re-opening of the Borders rail link to Galashiels shows that a fast rail service is very attractive to commuters and other travellers.
"In Aberdeenshire, the re-opened Dyce and Laurencekirk stations confirm that good train services are popular with travellers.
"A fast train service from a railhead at Ellon via Dyce to Aberdeen would attract car commuters and help to regenerate the economy and reduce road congestion and pollution in Aberdeen city centre."
He added: "Co-ordinated bus links from Fraserburgh and Peterhead to an Ellon railhead could be the first steps towards fully re-opening the railway to these towns."
Campaigners have been arguing the Aberdeen City Regional Deal offers the chance to making the Ellon link a reality.
Sum: The re-opening of a railway link between Ellon and Dyce is being recommended by the Scottish Association for Public Transport.

Text: It wanted to "restore dignity back to the statue", a spokesman told the BBC.
The sculptors reportedly inserted the rabbit as a trademark signature and to denote the haste with which they had to complete the statue.
Rabbit in the Afrikaans language is "haas", which also means haste.
"We don't think it's appropriate because Nelson Mandela never had a rabbit on his ear," Mogomotsi Mogodiri, the spokesman for the Department of Arts and Culture, told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme.
"We'd want people to see that statue as a symbol of hope, not about something like a rabbit."
Mr Mandela, who died at the age of 95, was widely acclaimed for his role in fighting white minority rule and promoting reconciliation after being elected South Africa's first black president in 1994.
The nine-metre (30ft) bronze statue was unveiled on 16 December, a day after Mr Mandela was buried.
It stands at the Union Buildings, the government headquarters in the capital, Pretoria.
Mr Mogodiri said the sculptors had apologised for any offence caused to the government and Mr Mandela's family by placing the rabbit in the statue's right ear.
"Discussions are on-going about when the rabbit will be removed. Government wants it removed as soon as possible to restore dignity back to the statue," he said.
The sculptors, Andre Prinsloo and Ruhan Janse van Vuuren, said they had added the rabbit to the statue after the department refused to allow them to engrave their signatures on the trousers of the statue, South Africa's Beeld newspaper reported.
They said it also represented the tight deadline they work under.
"The time factor was big and at times we had to work hard," Mr Prinsloo is quoted as saying.
He said the "small symbol" was hidden in the ear and it did not take anything away from the statue.
"You need a long lens or binoculars to see it," he said.
"During the moulding process a lot of people had seen the statue up close and nobody noticed it."
Mr Mogodiri said the sculptors had never asked for permission to put their signatures on the statue, and the government was "taken aback" by their claim that permission had been denied.
"Nothing of that sort happened. If a request was made, we would have considered it," he said.
Mr Mandela died on 5 December after battling a recurring lung infection.

Text: The crash happened after a mother-of-three stopped her car on a level crossing north of the city.
She was killed in the subsequent inferno along with five train passengers.
Accident investigators also said there were no problems with the signals or barrier at the site of the collision.
But they remain unaware why the driver, 49-year-old Ellen Brody, became stranded on the crossing at Valhalla, about 20 miles (32km) north of New York City.
An official from the National Transportation Safety Board, the federal agency leading the probe, said on Thursday that a witness in a nearby car had seen Ms Brody stop on the crossing in the moments before the train approached.
Investigator Robert Sumwalt said that the barrier was seen to come down on the rear of the car, a Jeep Cherokee, at which point Ms Brody got out and appeared to inspect the damage.
He said that, according to both the witness and the train driver, after returning to the car she suddenly drove forward slightly - straight into the path of the oncoming train.
Data retrieved from the train's recording device suggested it was travelling at 58mph (92km/h) an hour, added Mr Sumwalt - just below the 60mph speed limit for that section of track.
In addition to the six deaths there were 15 injuries, seven of them serious.
The electrified third rail of the track came through the front carriage of the train after the crash, setting it on fire.
Passengers had to escape from the rear carriages.
The line on which the accident happened, Metro-North, is the second-busiest rail system in the US, serving about 280,000 passengers a day in New York and Connecticut.
Last year, the National Transportation Safety Board issued rulings on five accidents that occurred on the network in 2013 and 2014, criticising Metro-North while also finding conditions had improved.

Article:
A: Ian Bashford, 60, from Bromley, died when he hit a support vehicle during the 35th Duo Normand race, French media have reported.
Police are said to be investigating why the vehicle had swerved into his path 200m (650ft) from the finish line.
His cycling club, Old Portlians, confirmed his death in a statement, saying it happened during the final descent to the finish.
Club secretary Julian Hutchings said that a van swerved into the path of Mr Bashford and his cycling partner Peter Gray. He added: "They were travelling at about 34mph to 40 mph. They were going downhill or into the flat.
"I saw an ambulance and police car and recognised the Old Portlians shirt. They worked on him for about 30 to 40 minutes to try to revive him but he died."
Secretary of the West Wickham-based club Julian Hutchings said: "He had been in the club about 20 years. He was passionate about cycling and the club. Everybody loved him and he always helped people out."
The Foreign Office said it was in contact with local authorities and was ready to provide assistance to the father-of-two's family.
The Duo Nomand is a time-trial race on a 54km (33 miles) road circuit in Normandy.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Sport Wales has been told to take immediate action to improve the way it manages its performance and develops skills within the organisation."
Article:
A: An independent review said staff skills had failed to keep pace with change outside of the publicly-funded body.
Welsh sports organisations claimed the quango offered them "little insight".
The report was ordered by Sport Wales chair Paul Thomas, sacked by ministers in March for an "irretrievable breakdown in relationships".
Published by the Welsh Government, the study reviews the purpose of Sport Wales, which promotes elite and grassroots sport and has an annual budget of £22m.
In 2016, the activities of the board were suspended by the Welsh Government at around the same time that early extracts of the report were leaked to BBC Wales.
It was commissioned by Mr Thomas, who was sacked along with vice chair Adele Baumgardt, and continued after his departure.
According to the study, a range of organisations that worked with Sport Wales reported that "they are provided with little insight or innovation they are not already aware of".
It also urged the Welsh Government to clarify the roles of a range of organisations, including Sport Wales, to increase physical activity levels.
In a statement on Wednesday, Public Health Minister Rebecca Evans said the report "affirms that partners value the work of Sport Wales".
She said she had asked her officials to work with Sport Wales to lead the development of a new long-term strategy for sport and physical recreation in Wales, including a new model for community sport.
The report said it would be unwise to separate the functions of elite and grassroots sport "despite the claim that there was, until recently, very little joint working between the two teams who lead on these areas in Sport Wales".
It continued: "Fundamentally, the view of Sport Wales' partners was that the organisation should be seen to be adding value; to be experts in their field, a critical friend, a source of advice, evidence and insight, and influential as a conduit to other sectors and policy departments in government or to external experts who could provide insight and added value.
"Instead, the perception was it was a grant-funder, or investor, who was quite prescriptive and inflexible in its funding decisions, did not take account of the wider priorities of the funding recipient, and who prioritised competitive, performance and elite sport over community sport."
The report broadly praised many aspects of Sport Wales' relationship with other organisations at an elite level, although there was a perception that it took too much credit for success at the top.
It said it was "unfair to lay the blame solely" on Sport Wales for some of the criticism in relation to health and education, because of a lack of clarification on the roles of different organisations.
Local authorities "valued the relationship they had with Sport Wales but felt they were being distanced more and more from decisions on programmes they were expected to deliver".
The role of consultants was also criticised. One recommendation was for greater in-house training.
There were also questions about a number of investment priorities saying: "It was noted that some programmes had been evaluated but the results were not made public and the learning from the evaluations was not shared widely."
Sport Wales has been approached for comment.

Problem: Article: The visitors had resumed on 149-8, although Sussex knew they only required one more wicket as Liam Norwell was unable to bat because of concussion.
Steve Magoffin (2-18) bowled Jack Taylor, who top-scored with 56, as Gloucestershire were dismissed for 158.
The hosts were two runs short of making Sussex, who took a maximum 24 points from the match, bat again.
Norwell was struck on the helmet by a Chris Jordan bouncer during Gloucestershire's first innings and did not play any further part in the match.
Sussex captain Luke Wright told BBC Sussex:
"I'm so pleased for Steve Magoffin, it's been tough, pitches have been hard for him. I've never seen him work so hard in training, he's a great example to the younger bowlers.
"The balance of the side hasn't been right this season but having David Wiese I feel we now have that balance and in the last two games we are batting deeper.
"We feel confident that if we can put pressure on the sides above us, who knows what might happen with two or three games to go."

Problem: Article: Its US owners say the internet has made nudity outdated, and pornographic magazines are no longer so commercially viable, the New York Times reports.
Playboy's circulation has dropped from 5.6 million in the 1970s to the current 800,000, official figures show.
However, the magazine will still feature women in provocative poses - though not fully nude.
The decision was apparently taken last month at a meeting attended by Playboy founder and current editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner.
Magazine executives admitted that Playboy - which was founded in 1953 - had been overtaken by the changes it pioneered, according to the New York Times.
"That battle has been fought and won," Playboy chief executive Scott Flanders is quoted as saying by the newspaper.
"You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it's just passe at this juncture."
Gone, too, are the days when interviews with figures of the stature of Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X and Jimmy Carter made Playboy so culturally and politically significant, says the BBC's Nick Bryant in New York.
Playboy's website has already banished nudity, partly to give it access to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. And its popularity has soared, with web traffic quadrupling.
A brand long synonymous with salaciousness is cleaning up its act, and all with the blessing - apparently - of the 89-year-old Mr Hefner, our correspondent adds.

Problem: Article: The 12cm (4.7in) creature scuttled out when staff at a storage company in Old Newton, near Stowmarket, opened the container to unload it.
It was found on 13 January.
RSPCA officer Naemi Kilbey, who was called to collect the spider, said: "Workers who found the spider definitely thought it was a Friday the 13th jinx."
She added: "I must admit I'd get a bit of a shock if I was unloading some stock and a huge Huntsman spider crawled out."
The RSPCA said Huntsman spiders, usually from Australia, can grow to more than 15cm (6in) in size but are generally harmless.
While a bite from a Huntsman could cause some pain and discomfort, they are not a highly venomous species.
The spider was taken to a local exotic animal specialist who will keep it.

Problem: Article: The RSPCA said the white American bulldog, known as Turbo, was found dead with stab wounds at 22:30 BST on 24 August in Liverpool.
The charity believe it was walked to the entrance of Walton Hall Park a few metres away from its home on Glaslyn Way and stabbed three times.
Owner Ann Patterson is "devastated".
Ms Patterson said: "I'm disgusted that anyone could do such a horrible thing to such a beautiful animal.
"I loved him to bits."
She said her family including her grandchildren and sister-in-law were "totally devastated".
Her son bought Turbo after her previous dog died and she had been diagnosed with cancer.
She said a girl who lived nearby tried to resuscitate the dog.
Ms Patterson said: "She thought he had been run over... she didn't recognise Turbo because of all the blood."
The RSPCA said: "We believe that this poor dog was taken from his garden and walked to the entrance of Walton Hall Park a few metres away.
"There, it looks like he was stabbed three times, leaving blood on the pavement.
"His body was then left behind his owner's garden fence."
Merseyside Police described it as a "horrendous attack" and urged anyone with information to contact them.

Problem: Write an article based on this "Stuart McCall has agreed a deal in principle to begin a second spell as Bradford City manager."
Article:
A: The 52-year-old left Rangers last year after they missed out on promotion from the Scottish Championship.
His appointment, which could be confirmed this weekend, would result in him giving up his role as number three to Gordon Strachan with Scotland.
The former Bantams player would take over from Phil Parkinson, who has moved to relegated Bolton Wanderers.
McCall, who was in charge of Bradford from 2007 to 2010, will be in opposition to Parkinson's side in League One next season should he be confirmed as manager.
The former Everton, Rangers and Sheffield United midfielder was manager of Motherwell in Scotland's top flight for four years after leaving Bradford in 2010.
He took over as Rangers manager on a short-term basis in March 2015 after the departure of Kenny McDowall.
McCall had hoped to continue in the role despite the Glasgow club facing another season outside of the Scottish Premiership, but the Ibrox outfit instead appointed Mark Warburton.
With Scotland, McCall and current Motherwell boss Mark McGhee have assisted Strachan.

Article:
A: | Arseniy Yatsenyuk told the UN General Assembly that Russian troops were still operating in eastern Ukraine.
Earlier, US President Barack Obama said sanctions could be lifted if Russia supported a ceasefire between Ukraine and separatist rebels in the east.
Russia denies arming the rebels and sending Russian troops to Ukraine.
Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea southern peninsula in March - a move condemned by Ukraine and the West.
The European Union and the United States later imposed sanctions against Russia over its role in the Ukraine conflict.
UN officials say 3,245 people have been killed since fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russia separatists began in April.
A shaky ceasefire has held since 5 September, and the two sides have since agreed to set up a 30km (19 miles) buffer zone.
"We ask our partners not to lift sanctions until Ukraine takes control of its entire territory," Mr Yatsenyuk said. "Crimea was, is and will be a part of Ukraine."
"Russian troops are deployed in the east of Ukraine," he said. "We urge Russia to pull back its forces... and to start real talks."
"Every day, despite the ceasefire, we are losing Ukrainian soldiers, we are losing civilians."
He told Russia: "You can win the fight against the troops, but you will never win the fight against the... united Ukraine nation."
Earlier, Mr Obama criticised Russian actions in Ukraine, but said that if Russia took the path of peace, "then we will lift our sanctions and welcome Russia's role in addressing common challenges".
On Wednesday, Nato said it observed a "significant" withdrawal of Russian troops from eastern Ukraine, but added that some forces still remained there.

Article:Vehicles were allowed on to the eastbound carriageway of the new M8 for the first time on Sunday, a week after the westbound carriageway opened.
It means the entire stretch between Edinburgh and Glasgow is now motorway.
The works were the latest stage in the £500m M8, M73 and M74 motorway improvements project.
The completion of the missing link means drivers no longer need to use the old A8 between Newhouse and Baillieston.
Transport Scotland said the new road layout was expected to cut journey times at peak periods by up to 20 minutes.
However, temporary speed limits will remain in force at various locations to allow remaining works to be completed safely.
Graeme Reid, project manager with Transport Scotland, said: "This is a huge milestone in the project.
"It has been ongoing for three years and this is a huge section of brand new motorway open in both directions between Edinburgh and Glasgow for the first time.
"Drivers have been patient during that time and we thank them for that. The end is very much in sight and drivers will experience the benefits during the week."
Transport Scotland said local road users should note that whilst access to all routes to and from the A8 will be maintained, signed diversions for traffic to Coatbridge, Airdrie, Bargeddie and Bellshill will be in place to allow necessary works to be completed.
Drivers were urged to plan their journeys in advance using the Transport Scotland and Traffic Scotland websites.

input: Article: The media regulator told Newsbeat it's looking at whether "repeated use of sexual references in this comedy series met generally accepted standards".
Last week Daniel O'Reilly, the comedian behind Dapper Laughs, said he was killing off the character.
It was after his jokes about rape and homeless people caused offence and ITV said there would be no second series.
Earlier this month 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."
Vine star O'Reilly, whose full 12 date 2015 UK tour has now been scrapped, told BBC Newsnight that the controversy had "wrecked my life" adding it was a type of comedy he "shouldn't have been doing".
Ahead of his Newsnight appearance, the comedian posted an online statement which read: "I would like to say sorry to those people who I may have upset with my recent comments.
"I assure them that was not my intention."
Ofcom also said it has received a total of 99 complaints "in a similar vein" to their investigation about the show since it first aired.
A spokesperson referred to rule 2.3 of the Broadcasting Code which states: "In applying generally accepted standards broadcasters must ensure that material which may cause offence is justified by the context.
"Such material may include, but is not limited to, offensive language, violence, sex, sexual violence, humiliation, distress, violation of human dignity, discriminatory treatment or language.
"Appropriate information should also be broadcast where it would assist in avoiding or minimising offence."
Following the original online criticism ahead of Ofcom's investigation, an ITV spokesperson told Newsbeat: "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."

input: Article: Eighty percent of the Northern Ireland public support proposals currently before Stormont which will criminalise the purchase of sexual services.
The new law is designed to curb demand for women trafficked into prostitution.
But research has claimed a large majority of sex workers fear the proposal will put them at greater risk.
'Claire' advertises a full range of sexual services on a leading escort website. For part of the week she is based in Belfast, receiving between one and six clients a day, charging £90 for 30 minutes or £150 for a full hour.
"I only work during the day. I'm not interested in people coming out of pubs drunk so I finish at 8pm."
She said she has turned away clients that have wanted to take drugs while with her.
Working independently, without a "booker" or pimp, and working alone from a rented flat means she is not breaking the law.
"I'm a law-abiding citizen." she said.
Referring to the criminalisation of paying for sex, she added: "Even though I would not be a criminal, I would be associated with criminals. I'm actually turning people into criminals, and that I don't like."
The well-spoken 46-year-old English graduate first considered a career as an escort after experiences as a swinger.
But she describes the financial hardship, caused by her ex-husband stopping child support payments, as the "catalyst" that propelled her into prostitution.
She plans to continue working for a couple more years, and is currently studying for two diplomas that will allow her to change careers.
She said: "The idea is to clear some debts I got when I was a single parent.
"I have no regrets about doing this job. It's not something that I'm desperate to get out of, but I feel it's something I need to be single to do, and at my age, maybe it would be nice to be with somebody."
She enforces a minimum age limit of 23 and her clients come from both blue and white-collar professions. She says some have disabilities, and others lack social skills to make contact with women.
She also claims she has been visited by virgins aged from 24 to 40, as well as single men, and men in sexless relationships.
She said: "When you're being intimate with someone you're more likely to tell them something."
She said many clients confided personal and emotional secrets in her.
"There is a lot of counselling involved in this job," she said.
Claire feels that a licensing system, like that implemented in New Zealand, which decriminalises sex work, and establishes rules by which it can be policed, would benefit independent workers like her.
The New Zealand model allows up to four women to work from the same property, and Claire feels this would increase her security, although she has never had any incidents of violence from her clients.
In principle, a licensing system would also allow the police to focus their efforts on targeting trafficked and coerced sex workers.
Some statistics suggest that cases of trafficked sex workers have declined in New Zealand since this system was implemented.
Claire has not had any encounters with the PSNI, but feels wary that they could use their powers to move her out of her rented apartment if they wanted, even though she operates within the law.
Ruth Jacobs is a writer and former sex worker, who worked in London.
She said: "When I was selling sex, I was a drug addict. I was an absolute mess, but criminalising my clients wouldn't have helped me. It would have made things far more dangerous.
"I wouldn't have used the term sex worker for myself because, although it was a way to make money, it wasn't work like another job. It was traumatic."
Ms Jacobs claims there was a hidden agenda behind the legislation Lord Morrow was proposing.
She said: "I believe there's a lot of moral crusading going around, and pretending to want to stop trafficking, but really they want to end the purchasing of sex.
"That's really dangerous because then trafficking victims aren't being served, and sex workers are denied their rights and put in danger," she said.
Ms Jacobs points to the policing model adopted in Merseyside, where the police have changed their focus from enforcement to protection of sex workers.
They have classified sex workers as a minority so attacks against them are considered hate crimes.
They work with outreach projects to help enforce area where prostitutes operate, and provide exiting services.
"Exiting services are really important," said Ms Jacobs.
"Counselling, help with housing, referral to other services. When you've got no qualifications and no work history, these things aren't minor. People can't leave sex work if they can't make money some other way."
'Anna' is a Romanian woman who was abducted from London in 2011 and flown to Ireland where she was forced into sex work under the threat of violence to her and her family.
After nine months, her traffickers had moved her to Northern Ireland and she was able to escape.
She believes that criminalising the purchase of sex would help people in the situation she was forced into.
Referring to criticism that the bill may drive trafficking further out of reach of the authorities, she said: "This is already underground. The only thing that will go underground would be the sex industry which would have to lose their major income.
"Their companies will go underground, not the girls who are used and abused."
She said: "I would be really really happy if it would pass. Definitely it would be a good decision for everybody within Northern Ireland."

Article: | The RMT union said a planned ticket office reorganisation would threaten 130 jobs, pay and safety.
GTR intends to close 34 station ticket offices and staff 49 others only at peak times on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern.
Instead "station hosts" would assist passengers around stations.

The RMT said 70% of its members voted in favour of strike action and nearly 80% supported action short of a strike. It has not yet announced any strike dates.
A GTR spokesman said only one in four (26.9%) voted for strike action with more than half of RMT station staff members ignoring the ballot.
He added: "While disappointed, we urge the union to stop this dispute and save our passengers and staff further pain by becoming part of the solution rather than the problem."

Article:Kerrigan, 25, conceded 53 runs from eight overs in his only England Test appearance, against Australia in 2013.
Giles, a former left-arm spinner, took 143 wickets in his England Test career.
"It can't do any harm having someone like Ashley in charge for me and the other spinners, passing down his knowledge," said Kerrigan.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "So far he's been quite hands off and I'm sure during the season I'll be able to pick his brains."
Former England limited over coach Giles was appointed cricket director and head coach at Old Trafford last October, after the Red Rose were relegated to Division Two.
Lancashire are looking for an immediate promotion this season and have brought in South African batsman Alviro Petersen and Australian bowlers Peter Siddle and James Faulkner.
"I had the option to maybe go to Australia or South Africa in the winter," added Kerrigan. "But I thought it would be good to have a little bit of a break and then work with Ashley and the rest of the lads in the indoor school.
"He's (Giles) quite relaxed and lets the lads get on with it. He wants it to be player-led but obviously has his own input when something needs highlighting.
"If you look at his record at Warwickshire they were really successful under him, so I think he'll be great to have around."

Answer:
Lancashire left-arm spinner Simon Kerrigan is hoping to use the international experience of new cricket director Ashley Giles this season.
Question:
Article:The European Union has ordered stress tests on all nuclear power stations. Germany has gone a step further and taken older plants out of service.
Switzerland, though not a member of the European Union, is taking a long, hard look at its nuclear power industry too with, many Swiss believe, very good reason.
Switzerland currently gets about 40% of its energy from nuclear power, but its plants are ageing.
The Beznau 1 pressurised water reactor is the oldest in the world still in operation, it came on stream more than 40 years ago, in 1969.
The other four Swiss reactors all date from 1984 or earlier, none were built after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986, and in 1990, the Swiss, still with Chernobyl in mind, approved a moratorium on new plants.
More recently however, that policy changed, when Switzerland, concerned to reduce fossil fuel consumption, backed replacements for the oldest nuclear plants.
But that plan came to an abrupt halt early on Monday morning 14 March. After a weekend watching the unfolding disaster in Japan, Switzerland's minister for energy and the environment, Doris Leuthard, announced that all plans for new nuclear plants would be suspended.
"Safety is the highest priority for us, so I have decided to suspend these plans, until we know for certain if our own safety regulations are enough in light of these new developments," said Mrs Leuthard.
"I want to know the exact causes of the events in Japan, whether risks were underestimated, and how much this will affect our own nuclear safety regulations."
Her decision made the Swiss government the first in Europe to officially change its nuclear power policy in response to the disaster in Japan.
But doubts about Switzerland's nuclear industry are not confined to the wisdom or otherwise of building new plants. Many Swiss are extremely concerned about the safety of the existing, ageing ones.
Jurg Bueri, of the Swiss Energy Foundation, which promotes renewable energy, believes Switzerland's nuclear plants could be, in the event of an earthquake, a huge risk.
"We have been saying for years that the situation in relation to earthquakes is simply not OK," he said.
And indeed a study known as the Pegasos project, carried out by the Swiss nuclear safety inspectors long before Japan's earthquake and tsunami, revealed that, when it came to earthquake protection, Swiss plants were not up to scratch.
"In the past, it's a fact, we underestimated the risk of earthquakes," Georg Schwarz, deputy director of the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate, told Swiss television.
"The new study we carried out shows that the earthquake risk in Switzerland is actually twice as big as we originally thought - that means our nuclear power stations will have to re-examine their earthquake protection measures."
Basel disaster
Switzerland, while not in a zone as earthquake-prone as Japan, does have its fair share of seismological events.
Although most recent ones have been relatively minor, the city of Basel experienced a huge quake in 1356. The resulting destruction and subsequent fire razed the old city to the ground, and hundreds of people died. Every castle and church within a 30km radius of Basel was flattened.
Modern seismologists say that earthquake still ranks as the most significant ever to hit central Europe in recorded history: 6.5, possibly even 7, on the Richter scale.
The fault line along which it occurred is, of course, still there, and, more recently, plans for a geothermal heating plant in Basel had to be abandoned because the bore holes being drilled for it triggered off a series of tremors.
That is why safety experts are unclear that Switzerland's nuclear power stations could withstand an event like the Basel quake of 1356.
"Earthquakes are the biggest threat to nuclear power stations in Switzerland," admitted Ralph Schulz, head of safety analysis at the Nuclear Inspectorate.
"The Pegasos study did show the earthquake risks were higher than originally thought."
Nevertheless, Mr Schulz still maintains Switzerland's nuclear power plants are safe.
"We were making improvements before and after Pegasos... to improve our emergency systems, and we have made numerous improvements specific to earthquakes."
Safety delays
But new safety measures are hugely expensive: the Beznau 1 plant has spent more than 1bn Swiss francs ($1bn) on supplementary diesel generators, which would, in the event of an earthquake, cool down the fuel rods in an attempt to prevent a meltdown.
And these remedies will take years to complete, time during which opponents of nuclear power claim that Switzerland's ageing reactors would be operating below optimum safety levels.
Jurg Bueri, of the Swiss Energy Foundation, believes the money now being spent on safety measures would be better invested phasing out nuclear power.
"We need a policy that gets rid of this technology," he said. "We need to shut these old plants down and make a much stronger commitment to renewable energy."
Power dilemma
Many believe Swiss energy minister Doris Leuthard's decision to suspend all plans for new nuclear power stations was an astute bit of crisis management, in order to give her government time to develop a new policy.
Just three weeks before the Japanese earthquake, voters in the Swiss capital Berne approved - by the narrowest of margins - a new nuclear power station.
Source: SwissInfo
Two more referenda on new reactors in other parts of Switzerland were due soon, and Mrs Leuthard knew that after Fukushima, there was no chance of voter approval.
By suspending the plans for new reactors, she has delayed the votes by several years.
That gives her time to answer some very hard questions; investing in new safety measures for old reactors will be costly, and will likely put the price of power up - but the same is true for investing in and developing renewable energy sources.
But shutting down the reactors and losing 40% of Switzerland's energy is not a viable solution, the Swiss economy, and indeed Swiss consumers, despite their doubts about nuclear power, just would not accept it.
It is a dilemma that is facing nearly every country in Europe, as governments assess options in the wake of the Japanese disaster. What all of them know is that, after Fukushima, it will be very difficult to gain public acceptance for new nuclear power stations.

Question:
Article:Jason Demetriou deflected Adam Hammill's shot past his own goalkeeper after Winnall's pass as Barnsley took the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Winnall got the second from the edge of the box before ending a 50-yard run with a classy finish two minutes later.
No side has ever overturned a three-goal first-leg deficit to make a final in the history of the play-offs.
That means Jon Whitney's side have it all to do going into the second leg at the Banks's Stadium on Thursday.
Barnsley are aiming to become the first side since Grimsby Town in 1998 to do the double of winning promotion via the play-offs and lifting the Football League Trophy in the same season.
The Tykes dominated the tie and should have broken the deadlock midway through the first half when Lloyd Isgrove had a goal incorrectly disallowed.
Assistant referee Mark Duncan - who was replaced at half-time because of a calf injury - said Isgrove was offside, but replays showed he was three yards onside when the ball was played.
Tom Bradshaw had a golden chance to put Walsall ahead five minutes before the break, but screwed his shot wide.
Barnsley took full advantage as Winnall's fantastic pass from the byline took four Walsall defenders out of the game and allowed Hammill to shoot home via Demetriou's leg.
In the final 20 minutes, after Winnall's double, Walsall's Anthony Forde saw a driven low cross flash across the face of goal while Sam Mantom missed badly from close range as the Saddlers tried to get back into the match.

Walsall interim manager Jon Whitney told BBC WM 95.6: "I'm hurting. I don't think it was a lack of effort from the players, it was just our decision making.
"We allowed them to execute their game plan a bit too easily. The second goal was a bit fortuitous but our reaction was very disappointing.
"The third goal makes it such an uphill task, but it's one that we can climb - I truly believe that."

Question:
Article:Doctors told Neil Urwin his sleep apnoea meant he should not drive, but a day later he hit and killed father-of-three Andy Charlton, 43.
Urwin has been jailed for two years for causing death by dangerous driving in Northumberland in August 2014.
Speaking directly to Urwin in Newcastle Crown Court, Katy Charlton said he should have listened to medics.
"Shame on you, if you had followed that advice and not driven that day Andy would still be alive," she said.
"I like to imagine that you are a decent man who made a foolish decision, a decision you will live with for the rest of your life."
But describing the devastating impact it has had on the entire family, she said: "You will always be the one who suffers least."
Urwin, 56, from East Acres, Barrasford, had admitted causing death by careless driving, but denied the more serious charge.
A jury took six hours to find him guilty.
He has also been banned from driving for three years and must take an extended test before getting his licence back.
During the trial the jury was told that Urwin, a forklift truck driver, had obstructive sleep apnoea.
The day before the crash he had attended a sleep clinic at Hexham General Hospital where a specialist had told him he should not be driving.
The court had previously heard how his sleep apnoea would affect his night-time breathing and cause him to wake up at night.
The court heard Urwin was driving too fast and too closely to the victim when he attempted to overtake the cyclist on the country road.
Mr Charlton, who had become a father of twins 12 weeks before the collision, was sent over the back of Urwin's Ford Fiesta.
The cyclist, who had given up his job to look after his son Oscar who has cystic fibrosis, suffered "catastrophic brain injuries" and later died in hospital.
Richard Bennett, prosecuting, said the stretch of the A6079 gave Urwin a 327m unrestricted view before the point of impact.
He said: "Either Mr Urwin was nodding off at the wheel before he saw Mr Charlton at the last minute or he was simply so tired he was not able to concentrate properly as he drove along the road."
In a statement released after Urwin was sentenced, Mr Charlton's family said: "There are no winners in this tragedy, nothing will bring Andy back.
"Most traffic fatalities are not intentional and you never expect to be a victim of, or the cause of, a fatal accident.
"Please think before you get behind the wheel of a car whether you should do so and pay care and attention.
"Because this did not happen there are now three tiny children growing up without their daddy."
Motor Patrols Acting Ch Insp Dave Little praised the Charlton family for their conduct throughout the case.
He said: "Neil Urwin's actions on that day were irresponsible and reckless - this has had a devastating impact on Andrew's three young children and his wife Katie."

Article:Ms Cafferkey is in an isolation unit in London after tests indicated the Ebola virus is still present in her body.
The health board confirmed she was sent home by an out-of-hours doctor in Glasgow earlier this week.
In an interview with the Sunday Mail newspaper, her sister Toni Cafferkey said it was "absolutely diabolical" the way the nurse had been treated.
Ms Cafferkey, from Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, spent almost a month in isolation at the beginning of the year after contracting the virus in December 2014.
Bodily tissues can harbour the Ebola infection months after the person appears to have fully recovered.
On Tuesday, the 39-year-old was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow after feeling unwell.
She was later flown to the Royal Free Hospital in London where she remains in a serious condition in an isolation unit. She is not thought to be contagious.
How can Ebola come back?
Toni Cafferkey told the Sunday Mail that her sister had gone to a GP out-of-hours clinic at the Victoria Hospital in Glasgow on Monday night but the doctor who assessed her diagnosed a virus and sent her home.
She said: "At that point me and my family believe they missed a big opportunity to give the right diagnosis and we feel she was let down. Instead of being taken into hospital, she spent the whole of Tuesday very ill.
"I think it is absolutely diabolical the way she has been treated... We don't know if the delays diagnosing Pauline have had an adverse effect on her health, but we intend to find out.
"It has not been good enough. We think there have been major failings and we just want her to pull through. This kind of recurrence seems to be rare but we don't yet know enough about it."
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed that Ms Cafferkey did attend the New Victoria Hospital GP out-of-hours service on Monday.
A spokesman said: "Her management and the clinical decisions taken based on the symptoms she was displaying at the time were entirely appropriate.
"All appropriate infection control procedures were carried out as part of this episode of care."
On Friday, a statement from the Royal Free Hospital confirmed Ms Cafferkey had been transferred to the hospital "due to an unusual late complication of her previous infection by the Ebola virus".
It added: "The Ebola virus can only be transmitted by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person while they are symptomatic, so the risk to the general public remains low and the NHS has well-established and practised infection control procedures in place."

Celtic manager Deila has no experience of an Old Firm fixture, and while his Rangers counterpart has worked as coach and assistant in several meetings between the sides, he will not be fully prepared for the emotion and pressure that the occasion wreaks on managers.
"It's a different world, no-one can come from Holland or Sweden and get thrust into an Old Firm game and realise what's going to come, or what it's like," said Tony Mowbray, who managed Celtic for an eight-month period between 2009 and 2010.
The Englishman first experienced the fixture as a player, when he was a tall, imposing, commanding centre-back. It is a different occasion as a manager, though, when only two individuals on the day really understand, or feel the full extent of, the suffocating pressure of the obligation of being in charge of the Old Firm.
Eighteen men have managed Celtic, while 13 have held the same position at Rangers. Between them, only these individuals truly know how the game can crowd in on their working lives, and the need to cope with that intrusion and stress if they are to achieve success.
"I didn't really know what I was going into," said Graeme Souness, who managed Rangers from April 1986 to April 1991. "Managing Rangers, and Celtic must be the same, is the hardest job in British football.
"If you're top of the league and not playing very good football, the pressure's off. You can be second, and have had a couple of bad refereeing decisions but you're playing the better football, and the pressure all goes on [you].
"That can bring you down. I hadn't experienced that before. I was coming into this job believing that I could handle everything in my stride. I came up here [feeling] invincible. What a fool."
Mowbray had been a confident, assured and idealistic manager at Hibernian. The challenge of taking Celtic on from the Gordon Strachan era seemed to impose itself on him. He talked of the "small margins" of games that his Celtic side dominated yet didn't win, but the culture in Scotland was "look at the scoreboard".
He was followed by an iconic figure in Neil Lennon, who had been central to the success of Martin O'Neill's teams as a combative midfielder. He was a rookie in managerial terms, but the demands of the job - even when vindictiveness and threatening behaviour invaded his private life - only revealed the extent of his capability to succeed.
"It was a real challenge and one that I look back on with relish," said Lennon, who left the club last summer and now manages Bolton. "I miss it sometimes, I miss that intensity in my life.
"As a player, [Old Firm games were enjoyable]; as a manager, no, because they're very fraught. It means everything to win the game for so many people.
"I remember being 3-0 up one day at Celtic Park, with 15 minutes to go, and thinking, 'if they get one they could get back into this'. That's the way your mind works. You only really feel relief when the final whistle goes.
"What you want to do is go and lie down. [But] they're great fixtures, and they always will be."
To John Greig, managing Rangers from May 1978 to October 1983 was "a lonely life, you don't see a lot of your family". For Davie Hay, who managed Celtic from August 1983 to May 1987, the pressures of one Old Firm game, when the referee David Syme mistakenly showed Tony Sheppard a red card before correcting his error, prompted a moment of fury.
"I wouldn't like to tell you what I said [to Syme]," Hay recalled. "After the game, I proposed that Celtic should leave Scotland and play in England. I [ended] up at the SFA for three offences on the one day."
As McDowall spoke about preparing for Sunday's Old Firm game, the first time the sides have met since April 2012, he talked about consulting Walter Smith, "the master" of these occasions. Smith's Rangers sides, over two periods at Ibrox, seldom lost to Celtic.
Smith led Rangers to six of their nine league titles in a row during his first spell in charge, between April 1991 and May 1998, but he found a different environment on his return to the club in January 2007.
There was greater media coverage of the Old Firm, and with that scrutiny comes more pressure and a greater sense of being in the middle of a constant storm.
"There are five million people in Scotland and football is the biggest thing newspaper-wise," Smith said. "Although you look at the Premiership and say it's a bigger environment, media-wise it's nothing in comparison to Rangers and Celtic.
"In Scotland, we print every national newspaper, plus we have our own, then we have the broadcast aspect. It's quite a claustrophobic environment to work in.
"The bottom line is that if you win, everybody likes you; if you lose then they don't. A manager is there a lot of the time to protect his players and try to make sure they don't get badly affected by the levels of criticism.
"A lot of the boys who come in are really surprised at being put under the microscope. They can play in Scotland for a number of years and then they join the Old Firm and their performances are dissected and analysed and criticised. You have got to be prepared to take a fair amount of criticism."
For a time, the respective managers of Rangers and Celtic were Alex McLeish and Strachan, two old friends stretching back to their days as team-mates at Aberdeen. McLeish approached the Rangers job "in short stages. Can I win anything with Rangers? Can I beat Celtic with Rangers?"
He at least had the benefit of growing up a Rangers fan and fully understanding the environment he was working in. Strachan comes from Edinburgh, and had to adjust to the surroundings.
"The whole West of Scotland thing, if you're not brought up in it, is mind-blowing," he said. "You're either one or the other [Rangers or Celtic], and that goes through all walks of life."
McLeish and Strachan managed one meal together, with their wives, before effectively shelving their friendship until they left the positions. There is always room, though, for gallows humour between those who understand what it is to manage the Old Firm.
"[Rangers] beat us to go one point clear, and suddenly all these folk turned up [in the manager's room at Ibrox afterwards], Richard Gough, Graeme Souness, Mark Hateley," Strachan said.
"I [said], 'just a second, you'll be digging up old managers and bringing them in here just because [you] beat us', and Ally McCoist is rolling about laughing. 'Where we you lot when you got beat?'"

Q: His Fake Cultural Development firm has exhausted all legal options to overturn the 15m yuan ($2.4m, £1.5m) fine authorities imposed in 2011.
Supporters had sent money through bank transfers and even paper airplanes flown over the artist's house.
Mr Ai had said he would pay back the money he received.
The dissident lost an appeal against the tax evasion fine in July, and a Beijing court in September rejected his challenge to that decision.
The 55-year-old is a designer for the firm, while his wife is its legal representative.
He had used the donations to pay a $1.3m fee required to challenge the tax fine.
"We have no more options to keep trying," he told the Associated Press agency.
"We've done what we could and the court's decision has been made. So we should repay the money."
He added that he would try to repay the tens of thousands of donors, starting with the small amounts.
The artist, an outspoken critic of the government, was detained for almost three months without charge last year.
After he was released, he was accused of tax evasion and the fine imposed.
One of China's best known artists, he has spoken out against human rights abuses and urged Beijing to reform its political system.
A: Dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has said he is starting to return money to supporters donated to help his design firm challenge a tax evasion fine.
Q: The group of retired generals and admirals declared the Republican nominee "has the temperament to be commander-in-chief".
Mr Trump, who has highlighted veterans' issues during his campaign, called their support "a great honour".
He has meanwhile been dismissing claims of impropriety over a political donation to a Florida official.
The Washington Post reported on Monday that in 2013 Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi had been considering fraud charges against Trump University.
But she dropped the investigation after a $25,000 (£18,600) contribution to her political campaign from the Donald J Trump Foundation.
Mr Trump was fined because he did not disclose the contribution to the US tax authorities.
The letter released on Tuesday by his campaign was signed by four 4-star generals.
The former top brass stated they believe Mr Trump is "more trusted to be commander-in-chief than (Democratic nominee) Hillary Clinton".
"We believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world," they added.
Both Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton will take part back-to-back in a national security forum on Wednesday.
The forum, to be hosted by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, will include questions from an audience of military service members.
Also on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton released a campaign ad featuring veterans who are critical of Mr Trump.
Her ad includes a clip of Mr Trump from July 2015 casting doubt on leading Republican John McCain's war hero credentials.
Arizona Senator McCain was tortured for more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.
Despite making support for the military a signature issue in his campaign, Mr Trump has at various times drawn criticism from military members.
Most notably, he was involved in a recent spat with family members of a Muslim-American soldier killed during the Iraq War.
Mr Trump, who has not served in the military, also created a stir last month when he accepted a veteran's gift of a Purple Heart.
"I always wanted to get the Purple Heart," he said of the medal, which is awarded to soldiers wounded in war.
"This was much easier."
A: Donald Trump has been endorsed by 88 former military leaders in an open letter, according to his campaign.
Q: Spearmint Rhino on Brown Street in Sheffield is the only lap dancing club in the city.
Objectors had claimed the venue was "out of place" in the city centre and "objectified" women.
The council's licensing committee renewed the licence on Tuesday subject to three conditions, including quarterly inspections.

It must not distribute leaflets advertising the venue and it must cover up the club's sign when it is closed.
The 97 letters of objection also complained the venue was in the wrong place, situated in the city's cultural quarter and close to university buildings.
The same argument was made in 2012 and failed then when the committee found there were "no grounds to refuse the application".
Letters in support of the renewed licence included some from people who work at the club and said that in the 15 years it had been open, it had provided a "safe environment" for staff and had not had any incidents requiring a police presence.
General manager Pete Mercer said in a letter of support, the fact the club was run to a "very high standard" showed how seriously he took his responsibilities as the "dancers, staff and customers welfare and safety" were his main concern.
He said the club had also passed every inspection by council officials.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is in first place in the latest league table of the world's best universities.
+++++++
A: It's the third year in a row that the US university, famous for its science and technology research, has been top of the QS World University Rankings.
Another science-based university, Imperial College London, is in joint second place along with Cambridge University.
Behind these in fourth place is Harvard University, the world's wealthiest university. And two more UK universities share joint fifth place, University College London and Oxford.
With King's College London in 16th place, it means that London has three institutions in the top 20.
Edinburgh University is joint 17th and there are two Swiss institutions, ETH Zurich and Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, in this top tier.
But US universities are still in the majority, taking 11 of the places in the top 20.
Even though some university leaders might be sceptical about such rankings, they will all be sharply aware of their significance.
Mike Nicholson, Oxford University's head of admissions, says: "It's fair to say that it would be a foolish university that did not pay close attention to how league tables are constructed."
Rankings have become an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities, helping them to attract students, staff and research investment.
No university website is complete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other.
But what is perhaps more surprising is that they are a relatively recent arrival on the higher education landscape.
This is only the tenth year of the QS rankings and the earliest global league table, the Academic Ranking of World Universities, produced by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was first published in 2003.
They have risen alongside the globalisation of higher education and the sharing of information online.
But how does a university get to the top of the rankings? And why does such a small group of institutions seem to have an iron grip on the top places?
The biggest single factor in the QS rankings is academic reputation. This is calculated by surveying more than 60,000 academics around the world about their opinion on the merits of institutions other than their own.
Ben Sowter, managing director of the QS, says this means that universities with an established name and a strong brand are likely to do better.
The next biggest factor - "citations per faculty" - looks at the strength of research in universities, calculated in terms of the number of times research work is cited by other researchers.
The ratio of academic staff to students represents another big chunk of how the rankings are decided.
These three elements, reputation, research citations and staff ratios, account for four-fifths of the rankings. And there are also marks for being more international, in terms of academic staff and students.
As a template for success, it means that the winners are likely to be large, prestigious, research-intensive universities, with strong science departments and lots of international collaborations.
Is that a fair way to rank universities? It makes no reference to the quality of teaching or the abilities of students?
"We don't take an exhaustive view of what universities are doing," says Mr Sowter.
"It's always going to be a blunt instrument," which he says is both the strength and weakness of such lists.
The overall effect of a decade of such league tables has been beneficial, Mr Sowter argues. It has made universities take a closer look at themselves to see how they compared with rivals.
There always were "unwritten league tables, based on stereotypes," he says, so having some more transparency allows a more open debate.
But the creation of such a ranking has a dynamic of its own - and Mr Sowter says there have been unintended consequences.
"Some fixate on it too closely," he says. Improving their ranking position has been written into the mission statements of some universities.
It has also taken on a quasi-official status. Denmark's immigration system gives extra points to graduate applicants according to how high their university is ranked.
The pressure to get up the ladder has also pushed some universities into trying to bend the rules, says Mr Sowter, with incorrect data being submitted.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, ahead of its annual rankings next month, has been even more specific about what constitutes a top-200 university.
It includes an annual total university income of above $750,000 (£462,000) per academic; a student-staff ratio of almost 12 to one; about a fifth of staff and students are international and research income of about $230,000 (£142,000) per academic.
"You need serious money, it is essential to pay the salaries to attract and retain the leading scholars and to build the facilities needed," says THE rankings editor, Phil Baty.
Regardless of how they are calculated, there is a seductive simplicity to rankings.
"The rankings, for better or worse, have been highly influential with students and also with governmental leaders and some universities in various countries," says Philip Altbach, director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College.
But he cautions on what is actually being measured. Should non-research universities be compared in rankings designed for research-intensive universities?
An attempt to create a different type of university comparison has been launched this year by the European Union, with the U-Multirank project.
This puts less emphasis on reputation and allows students to select their own criteria to make comparisons.
The idea is that a student wanting to find an undergraduate arts course isn't really going to learn much from rankings driven by international science research projects.
There could be another entirely different way of comparing universities on the horizon.
Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's director of education, who has pioneered Pisa tests at school level, wants to begin comparisons in higher education.
He says there is a public demand for assessing the quality of universities.
But rather than looking at what goes into universities - such as money, staff and facilities - he wants to find out more about the output in the form of what students are learning.
Proposals for a different kind of university ranking will soon be put to OECD governments, he says.
It's not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. They measure the attributes of the university rather than its students. They produce a list dominated by a certain of type of institution. Small, specialist, arts-based colleges are going to suffer regardless of their quality.
Those that focus on teaching rather than research will not be as recognised. The emphasis on reputation will reinforce the advantage of those that are already famous. And the top tier of these global rankings is exclusively filled with English-speaking universities.
But such lists still exert an undeniable, attention-grabbing appeal.
"The fact that people argue about league tables is a trigger for change," says Mr Sowter.

Both strongly deny the accusations.
Mr Perez Molina, who was elected in 2012, and Ms Baldetti are already facing trial in another case that led to their resignations last year.
Announcing the latest charges, Prosecutor Julio Barrios Prado said the pair had been involved in illegal financing, embezzlement and money laundering.
Addressing Mr Perez Molina in court he said: "That money was used to buy goods and services for you and Baldetti including real estate and luxury vehicles, as well as $4.3m (£3m) in gifts."
He said shell companies had been used to try to conceal the money.
Ms Baldetti is also accused of receiving $38m (£26.6m) in bribes for government contracts. Prosecutors allege that, on one shopping trip to Miami, she spent more than $27,000 of the cash on shoes and clothing.
Mr Perez Molina and Ms Baldetti are already facing trial over a corruption scheme dubbed La Linea (The Line) that involved businesses paying bribes to government officials and custom officers in return for being allowed to evade import duties. They have denied any wrongdoing.

Burnley will again be without midfielder Jeff Hendrick, who is serving a three-game ban.
+++++++
A: | Robbie Brady is also unavailable as he is cup-tied, having played for Norwich in the FA Cup earlier this season.
Lincoln City have no fresh injury problems but Lee Beevers remains out with a long-term knee injury.
Joe Ward, who was ineligible against parent club Brighton in the last round, is available again but fellow on-loan winger Josh Ginnelly is cup-tied.
Jonathan Pearce: "Can Lincoln become the first non-league club to reach the last eight of the FA Cup since QPR in 1914?
"I witnessed at first hand the ambition, drive, determination and organisation of the Imps when they beat Ipswich in the third round.
"The Cowley brothers look a fine management team in the making. Their team will work until they drop.
"But Burnley have lost just three of their last 29 home games; Sean Dyche should be a candidate for manager of the year and, if he picks his strongest available team, they should have too much - but it'll be tight."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "You have to be mentally prepared for the fact there's 11 out there trying to beat you and not take it for granted because they're that many places below you.
"There's not a divine right to win football matches, you have to earn everything you get."
Lincoln manager Danny Cowley: "It's a tough test for us, they are an outstanding team at home and it will be a monumental task for us to get a win.
"It's a one in one hundred chance of winning because we have to match them technically and tactically.
"But we have to go there believing we can and will be that one game in one hundred."
I think that Lincoln, more than fellow National League side Sutton, are the real success story of the FA Cup so far...
Burnley away is probably one of the worst draws they can have, though.

summary: Some of the quirkier snippets from the news in Africa that we did not know last week:
Question:
Article:In the past all military sales have effectively been banned, although there has been technology transfer to the US.
The new conditions would allow Japan to jointly develop arms with allies and give its defence industry access to new markets and technology.
The move is likely to be viewed with suspicion in China, which has accused Japan of increasing militarism.
Japan adopted a pacifist constitution after World War Two which prohibits going to war except in cases of self-defence.
It has for decades observed the "three principles" of not exporting arms to countries that are communist, subject to UN arms embargos and involved or likely to be involved in international conflicts.
These principles were adopted in 1967 and later evolved into a full self-imposed ban.
But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is keen to bolster national security and also normalise some of the restrictions Japan placed on itself after World War Two.
Under the policy, the restrictions on exports to countries involved in conflicts or subject to UN embargos would remain.
Exports will be allowed in cases where they contributed to global peace and served Japan's security interests, Kyodo news agency reported.
Japan would impose strict screening on exports and would be transparent about the process, it said. Japan would also not allow its exports to be sold on to third parties.
"Under the new principles, we have made the procedure for transfer of defence equipment more transparent," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
"That will contribute to peace and international co-operation from the standpoint of proactive pacifism."
"And we will participate in joint development and production of defence equipment," he added.
Earlier this year, China warned against the move.
"Against the backdrop of an intensifying swing to the right for Japanese politics, the intention behind and effect of massively loosening restrictions on the export of weapons really worries people," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in February.
Late last year, Japan's cabinet approved a new national security strategy and increased defence spending in a move widely seen as aimed at China.
Over the next five years, Japan will buy hardware including drones, stealth aircraft and amphibious vehicles.
Summarize the main points of that article.
Answer:
Japan is to ease its self-imposed arms export ban for the first time in almost 50 years.

Text: Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita inherited the case from Alberto Nisman, who was found dead in mysterious circumstances.
The president denies the allegations, with the government calling the probe an "anti-democratic attack".
The attack on a Jewish centre killed 85 people. Iran denies being involved.
The latest prosecutor's move means the judge will have to decide whether to authorise new investigations to prove the president's alleged involvement.
If the prosecutor and the judge agree that there are enough elements to prove Ms Fernandez committed a crime, she could face prosecution and be charged.
Before his death, Mr Nisman had published a report on the attack on the Amia Jewish centre.
Although this was an expected move, it could not have come at a worse time for the Argentine president.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was already facing criticism for the way she has been managing the Nisman case, which has become the worst crisis of her political career so far.
Now she will also face pressure from the judiciary, which is demanding an unprecedented investigation into a sitting president - one that could end up with an impeachment-like process if she is found guilty.
Meanwhile, prosecutors are calling for a massive protest on the streets of Buenos Aires next week in what is expected to become the largest anti-government march in recent years.
Opposition leaders, unions and even the Catholic Church are joining calls for a fair and independent investigation into a death that has shocked this nation.
Alberto Nisman death: Key players
He alleged that the president and others had conspired to protect Iranian suspects in the bombing case in exchange for favourable deals on oil and other goods.
Mr Nisman was found shot in the head in January, hours before he was due to give evidence to a congressional committee.
The president suggested he may have been manipulated into killing himself by rogue security agents in an attempt to discredit her.
A document written by Mr Nisman's successor said there was enough evidence to go ahead with the case.
"An investigation will be initiated with an eye toward substantiating... the accusations and whether those responsible can be held criminally responsible," Mr Pollicita wrote.
President Fernandez's cabinet chief, Jorge Capitanich, accused the courts of trying to stage a "judicial coup" by pursuing the investigation.
Anibal Fernandez, a spokesman for the presidency, said moving the case forward was a "clear manoeuvre to destabilise democracy''.
summary: An Argentine prosecutor has asked a federal judge to investigate President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner over allegations she helped cover up Iranian links to a deadly 1994 bombing.
Question:
Article:Rates have fallen by 3.5% in the two weeks since 24 June, said Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Before the vote, a 65 year-old with savings of £100,000 would have been able to buy an annual income of £5,069.
Now the value of that pension has dropped to £4,890, a new record low.
Experts had predicted just such a development before the referendum, yet a majority of people over the age of 60 voted to leave the European Union.
"Annuity rates are disappearing off the bottom of the chart," said Mr McPhail.
"Just 6 months ago a 60 year old could get a better deal than the terms now being offered to a 65 year old. Even though rates are now at historic lows, there is no certainty whether or when rates will go back up again."
Annuity rates have been falling for many years, as life expectancy increases.
However the drop has been exacerbated by falling bond yields in the two weeks since the vote.
Nevertheless, Mr McPhail advised anyone thinking about buying an annuity not to wait for any upturn in rates.
"So if the question is, 'should I buy an annuity today?', then the answer is don't delay doing so just because today's rates are lower than in the past."
Summarize the main points of that article.
Answer:
Annuity rates - which determine the value of pension incomes - have been 'in freefall' since the UK's vote to leave the EU, according to an expert.
input: Article: George Hamilton was speaking after a meeting with Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt on Tuesday.
Mr Nesbitt asked for a briefing following Monday's murder before his decision on joining a new Executive.
Earlier, Stormont's political parties were given a document with the main points of a programme for government.
It was delivered in talks that lasted just minutes.
The parties are to reconvene on Thursday to give their initial response.
Speaking after the brief talks, Mr Nesbitt said the Alliance Party had been offered the Justice Ministry. In response, Alliance said Mr Nesbitt had broken an agreement of confidentiality, with Stewart Dickson calling the Ulster Unionists "flippant".
The SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood, said he believed his party was "a very long way" from a programme to which they could sign up.
So what happens next?
The parties have been given until Thursday to make a formal initial response.
That's also the day the new Assembly meets for the first time - and sets the clock ticking on a two week negotiation period. But what are they being asked to agree on?
Sources close to the negotiations describe what will eventually emerge as a "framework programme for government" which will then go out for consultation.
At the end of this year a detailed programme for government will be produced.
There'll also be a budget for the next three to four years.
And there'll be documents setting out strategies on the economy, capital investment and social policy strategy.
Sources say they've looked closely at the model in Scotland where a series of national outcomes describe what the Government wants to achieve over the next ten years.
Following last week's Northern Ireland Assembly election, he DUP maintained the total of 38 seats that it held in the last assembly, while Sinn Féin lost one and now holds 28.
The Ulster Unionists have 16 seats, and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) lost two and now have 12.
The Alliance Party secured eight seats during the election, meaning it does not have enough seats to automatically qualify for a ministerial department.
An executive will be formed when an agreement has been reached.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said the talks would be inclusive and he wanted to see all of the parties enter the new executive.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said it might be more honest if those who have previously opposed the executive from the inside now do so on the outside.
In his meeting with Mr Nesbitt on Tuesday, the chief constable said that the paramilitary assessment commissioned by the secretary of state and published on 20 October 2015 remains valid.
"Over the course of the last seven months, there have been a number of very serious crimes committed in our community.
"Significant PSNI resources have been allocated to progress the investigations into these incidents. This investigative activity nor wider intelligence to date has not indicated any change to the position reflected in the October 2015 Paramilitary Assessment."
After the meeting, Mr Nesbitt said: "The chief constable confirmed no change from the assessment given to the secretary of state last October - PIRA still exists.
"This is not surprising, but disappointing, given PIRA have drawn the roadmap that others are following. George Hamilton would not be drawn on this week's shootings, but these are serious criminal acts."
He said the chief constable's assessment did not make re-entry to the executive "any more attractive".
The Ulster Unionists have "two other tests regarding the Programme for Government," he said and expected answers in a few days' time.

Article: The vehicle first knocked over two pedestrians, killing one, French-language media report. The driver then tried to flee the scene.
He rammed the bus into a band of street musicians, leaving dozens dead, according to unconfirmed reports.
Gonaives is located 150km (90 miles) north of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The incident on Sunday left dozens of people injured, who were quickly transported to hospital by the emergency services.
Witnesses gathered at the scene became hostile after seeing the driver attempt to flee, which caused further deaths and injuries, AFP reports, adding that they then tried to set the vehicle alight.
"The people who were not victims of the accident tried to burn the bus with the passengers inside," said Faustin Joseph, a civic protection co-ordinator for the Artibonite region.
"The bus, the passengers and the driver were all placed into the care of the local authorities", he added.
The vehicle was travelling to Port-au-Prince when it crashed into a rara parade, a traditional street celebration involving local musicians, in Gonaives, Reuters news agency reports.
It was not immediately clear what caused it to veer off course.

Article: Leeds' Warrington fights Spanish former super-bantamweight world champion Kiko Martinez in his home city on Saturday.
The 26-year-old, who takes an unbeaten 24-fight record into the bout at the First Direct Arena, has one eye on ending "friction" with Welshman Selby.
"The fight and animosity have been stewing for a while and I'm very eager to prove my doubters wrong," he said.
"Last year, Selby was red-hot favourite as the world champion I'd challenge. It didn't happen, but the fight's certainly not dead.
"He gives me no credit. Let's just settle it."
Warrington said Selby, world champion since 2015, has "good variety" in the ring and is "usually very busy for six rounds".
But he added: "He thinks he's a banger when he's not. He puts far too much into his punches then fades."
Selby, who has 24 wins and a single loss on his record, has been frustrated over the past 12 months.
A fight against Jonathan Victor Barros in Las Vegas in January was called off with hours to spare, when the Argentine failed to make the weight.
Selby, who has since left promoters Matchroom Sport, is due to meet Barros in June, by which time the Barry fighter will have had just one non-title match in 14 months.
There has been talk of a fight between Selby and Northern Ireland's Carl Frampton, but Warrington is hopeful he will get his shot in a fight he believes would be staged in Leeds.
Saturday's fight with Martinez - who lost the IBF super-bantamweight title to Frampton in 2014 - tops a bill on which two-time Olympic champion Nicola Adams also features.
Martinez, 31, has lost seven of his 44 fights but his past three defeats have come in world title fights - to Frampton, Scott Quigg and Leo Santa Cruz.

Article: The company believes that any further claims related to the spill will "not have a material impact".
On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and causing an oil spill that soon became the worst environmental disaster in US history.
Since then BP has been paying hefty fines, compensation and legal bills.
Last year, chief executive Bob Dudley described the fire on the Deepwater Horizon and its aftermath as "a near death experience" for the firm.
He said it had shaken the company "to its core" and led to a complete change in its organisational structure.
"Sometimes it takes a near death experience to radically change a company. It was a forced focussing down of what we do, it was: 'This is what we need to do to survive'," Mr Dudley said on the BBC's Today Programme.
The company sold off more than £30bn ($45bn) in assets to help cover the costs of the spill.
"Over the past few months we've made significant progress resolving outstanding Deepwater Horizon claims and today we can estimate all the material liabilities remaining from the incident," Brian Gilvary, BP chief financial officer said in a statement.
"Importantly, we have a clear plan for managing these costs and it provides our investors with certainty going forward."
In October of last year, BP agreed to pay $20bn (£13.2bn) to settle claims with the US government stemming from the spill.
That settlement was the largest the US government had ever reached with a single company.

Problem: Article: UN chief Ban Ki-moon and the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will be asked to prepare a plan for an inquiry.
The vote came after the US and Russia agreed on the final text of the resolution.
A mission to eliminate Syria's chemical arsenal was set up after a deadly attack outside Damascus in August 2013.
Late last year, the OPCW declared it had removed or destroyed all 1,180 tonnes of declared toxic agents and precursor chemicals.
After Friday's vote, the US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, said it was a clear message that the perpetrators would not go unpunished.
"Today's resolution has been adopted with the council's unanimous support," she said.
"This sends a clear and powerful message to all those involved in chemical weapons attacks in Syria. The joint investigative mechanism will identify you if you gas people.
"It bears repeating as well that we need to bring the same unity that we have shown today to urgently find a political solution to the Syrian crisis."
Up until now, international experts have carried out only fact-finding missions in Syria to determine whether chemical weapons attacks have occurred. Their reports have not explicitly pointed a finger of blame at those believed to be responsible - although details, like the use of chlorine-filled barrel bombs, are in themselves incriminating, because only the forces of Bashar-al-Assad have them in their arsenal.
The significance of this Security Council resolution is that it will create a new investigative body with a mandate to attribute blame. The United States, which has spent months negotiating this resolution with Russia, believes it will end a culture of impunity regarding the use of chemical weapons and accumulate evidence that could be used in future prosecutions.
The Americans concede, however, that those prosecutions are not imminent, and could be years or more than a decade away. Although the resolution paves the way for the creation of an attribution mechanism it will not trigger automatic punishment - a weakness seized upon by human rights groups.
The challenge of assessing Syria's chemical weapons
Friday's resolution is a rare display of unanimity from the UN on Syria, with all 15 members voting in favour.
The resolution follows months of negotiations between the US, which has long accused the Assad regime of using chemical weapons, and Russia, which has defended its Syrian ally.
Syria's ambassador to the UN Bashar Jaafari denied his government was behind the attacks, claiming the Islamic State (IS) group and the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front were to blame.
Under the terms of the agreement, a team of expert inspectors will be given full access where possible to all locations in Syria and be allowed to collect materials and interview witnesses.
Vitaly Churkin, the UN's Russian representative, said he hoped that the joint investigative body would work "impartially, objectively and professionally".
The resolution calls for Mr Ban and the OPCW to recommend a team of investigators within 20 days.

Problem: Article: Two of the radar-evading jets performed a 60-second flypast at the Zhuhai air show in Guangdong province - the country's biggest meeting of plane makers and buyers.
Previously the jets had only been seen by bloggers.
The fighters are being seen as symbol of Beijing's desire to modernise and upgrade its military capabilities.
President Xi Jinping wants to toughen China's armed forces as it takes a more assertive stance in the region, especially in the South China and East China seas.
The J-20 has been developed and made by the Chengdu Aircraft Industries Group, a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
Some have likened the new fighter to Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor jet, with industry analyst Bradley Perret of Aviation Week saying the jet was "clearly a big step forward in Chinese combat capability,"
1990s China reveals plans to develop its own stealth jets
2011 first secret test flights of the J-20
2016 two J-20 jets are showcased at the Zhuhai air show
2018 the J-20 is expected to be operational
by Stephen McDonell, BBC correspondent, Beijing
It's technological displays like this which will lead plenty of people to imagine a time soon when China catches up with the United States militarily.
These two J-20 stealth fighters made a dramatic entrance at the Zhuhai Air Show.
The radar-evading jets came in low showing off their manoeuvrability and setting off alarms in the nearby car park.
It's the first time this country's top-of-the-line fighter jets have been seen in public and it's being viewed as a real statement of intent that China wants to close the technology gap with all other rivals.
Although the J-20 jets passed by several times people won't be allowed to get too close to them at this show. Their design is still top secret so they won't be on display in the way that other aircraft are.
Naturally China will be presenting plenty of other military hardware this week from attack helicopters to seaplanes.
The message here is that this ever-emerging power is not to be trifled with. But China also wants to sell equipment to other nations and in this field, too, surpass the United States.
China's International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition - also called Airshow China - has become one of the world's biggest events of its kind.
And with China set to become the world's biggest aviation market in the next decade, the show is an opportunity for Beijing to demonstrate its ambitions in civil aviation as well as defence.
Although firms from around the world are exhibiting at the meeting, it is the latest Chinese aircraft and weapons that are getting the most attention on day one of the event.
The Y-20, China's first heavy transporter jet has already been unveiled.
Also hotly anticipated is the AG-600 seaplane, the largest of its kind in the world and likely to be used for search and rescue missions as well as patrolling China's seas.
A Xian H-6K bomber and the new Changhe Z-10K attack helicopter are also expected to make their first appearances.

Problem: Article: The embattled drugmaker issued the statement on Monday, after Mr Pearson failed to appear before the Senate Committee on Ageing on Wednesday.
Mr Pearson is among several pharmaceutical bosses ordered to testify about industry pricing methods.
He is scheduled to give his full testimony on 27 April.
The committee said it was considering filing contempt charges against Mr Pearson for his failure to show up for a pre-hearing deposition.
A statement from Valeant's board of directors said: "The board has requested Mr Pearson's co-operation in connection with a subpoena for deposition from the Senate Committee on Ageing prior to the committee's scheduled 27 April hearing,"
The leading members of the Senate committee, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Claire McCaskill, said Mr Pearson's testimony was "central" to the investigation.
"His actions and those of Valeant are central to the investigation pursued by this committee. Therefore, it is our intent to initiate contempt proceedings against Mr. Pearson," the senators said in a joint statement.
Valeant and other drug companies have been criticised for the practice of buying existing drugs and raising the prices. The industry has argued these price increases allow them to fund research into new drugs.
However, Valeant's focus on acquisitions rather than development has raised questions about the Canadian company's long-term viability.
Mr Pearson is set to step down as the head of Valeant as soon as a replacement can be found, the company announced in March.
Valeant is facing three separate federal investigations into its business practices and its share price has fallen over 80% in the last year.
Last week, the company reached a deal with its lenders giving the drugmaker extra time to file its annual financial report. Without that deal investors had been concerned, Valeant could default on $30bn of debt.

Russia's plans are outlined in a new naval doctrine, launched on Sunday as the nation celebrated Navy Day.
The navy will get a fleet of new icebreakers, because the Arctic region gives Russia unrestricted access to the Atlantic and Pacific, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said.
The Arctic is also rich in minerals.
The new doctrine calls for close co-operation with China in the Pacific region and India in the Indian Ocean.
At a ceremony by the Baltic Sea, attended by President Vladimir Putin, Mr Rogozin said "the main emphasis is in two directions - the Arctic and Atlantic".
"The Atlantic emphasis is linked to the fact that recently there has been a quite active development of Nato and it has approached our borders. The Russian Federation will of course respond to that."
The ceremony took place at Baltiysk, a major naval base in Kaliningrad, a Russian territory sandwiched between Nato members Poland and Lithuania.
Mr Rogozin, who oversees Russia's Arctic projects, said the situation in Crimea and Sevastopol was also a factor influencing Russia's new naval doctrine.
Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014, ousting Ukrainian forces from the Black Sea peninsula's bases, in a move condemned internationally.
The annexation triggered Western sanctions, which have been ratcheted up several times because of Russian support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Mr Rogozin said Russia would establish a naval presence in the Mediterranean and invest in the economies of Crimea and Sevastopol. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 Russia retained control of the big Sevastopol naval base.
A live-fire exercise by the fleet in Sevastopol could have cost lives on Sunday when a missile exploded near the warships, as thousands of spectators watched the display.

Problem: Up to 40,000 properties in the north-east were left without power after the violent storms struck.
Some properties have been damaged by lightning and vehicles were hit by golf ball-sized hailstones.
Here is a selection of photos shared by BBC News readers and viewers.
What was that article about?
A: Storms have swept across northern England in the wake of what for many places was the hottest July day on record in the UK.
The nuclear plant has been generating electricity since 1971.
The remaining Reactor One at the site was switched off on Wednesday afternoon.
About 150 staff are expected to lose their jobs by April 2016 as the power station starts the decommissioning process.
It will take about three years to remove the remaining spent fuel at Wylfa before teams move in to clear much of the site.
That process will end in about 2026 when only the reactor buildings and fuel stores will remain.
The whole area will then be left until final site clearance at the start of the next century in 2105.
Site director Stuart Law said he was immensely proud of what the power station had achieved in 44 years - providing enough electricity to power every single home in Wales, for every year it has been generating.
"Wylfa has been a fantastic story," he said.
"It's sad that we've reached the end - sad - but a real pleasure and honour to have had this role at Wylfa, and to take it as far as we have done."
By mid-2020s, all the remaining 500 posts at the plant will have gone, with many hoping that construction on a new nuclear plant - Wylfa Newydd - is well under way.
Horizon Nuclear Power, owned by the Japanese giant Hitachi, is still in the process of drawing up detailed plans, which will be submitted by 2017.
The new reactor designs from Hitachi still need approving by industry and government safety experts, and vocal opposition campaigns on the island mean a public inquiry is likely.
However, if the reactor and plant designs are agreed, the first concrete at Wylfa Newydd could be poured in 2020, with the plant generating electricity before the middle of the decade.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: "Today's shutdown and subsequent reduction in staff numbers has been known about for a number of years and the Welsh government has been working in partnership with Magnox, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and the local authority to prepare for this.
"While today marks the end of one era it is also the start of new one for the island and the wider north Wales economy.
"Wylfa Newydd will present significant new employment and supply chain opportunities."
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said Wylfa had been a "terrific success story for Anglesey and for the UK nuclear industry".
"The safe operation of the reactor over its lifespan is testament to the hard work of its skilled and dedicated workforce," he said.
Anglesey council leader Ieuan Williams said: "Wylfa Newydd looks like a fitting successor to Wylfa and the long-term future is looking bright for Anglesey and beyond."
Sum: The last working Magnox nuclear reactor in the world has shut down for the final time at Wylfa on Anglesey.
Q: The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir beat the Canadian singer after he urged his 72 million Twitter followers to buy its charity single, A Bridge Over You.
Producer Julia Verdin, who worked on The Merchant Of Venice starring Al Pacino, has secured the story's rights.
Choir co-ordinator Caroline Smith said the singers were "thrilled".
"The world will now get to see our incredible story," the children's physiotherapist said.
"People will see the massive power achieved when everyone comes together."
Verdin said the choir's story was "remarkable and uplifting" and had already touched the hearts of millions in the UK.
The movie will feature the individual back stories of the 32 choir members and the work they do, documenting their journey to get their song to the top of the charts.
Last month the choir joined the same record company as Bieber and their debut album, Something Inside So Strong, will be released on 3 June.
Royalties will be paid to the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and will be used to provide services that "enhance patient experience or staff working lives".

The move comes as China looks to open up its $6.5 trillion (£5 trillion) equity markets to foreign investors.
Beijing has also been pushing to have its bourses included in global index providers MSCI but their bid was last rejected in June.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was quoted as saying the scheme "marks another steady step towards building a law-regulated capital market with international features".
The overall quota limits for the link between Hong Kong and Shanghai's stock exchange, which was launched in late 2014, was also lifted. Daily quota limits, however, remain in place.
The approval of the Shenzhen Stock Connect scheme may boost market sentiment, Julian Evans-Pritchard, China economist at Capital Economics said.
"It is a welcome signal that policymakers are keen to press on with financial reform as concerns over market volatility and capital outflows fade," he wrote in a report.
"But limited appetite overseas for mainland equities means the direct impact on equity valuations and capital flows will be small."
Hong Kong is the world's second-busiest bourse and has benefited from the Stock Connect scheme as mainland investors look to buy overseas assets to counter the weakening Chinese yuan currency.
Meanwhile, Shenzhen is Asia's busiest exchange with monthly turnover of more than $1 trillion, according to the World Federation of Exchanges data.
But some investors believe the new link won't see huge demand due to the high valuations of mainland stocks.
"In the short term, I very much doubt this will drive significant flows into Shenzhen shares as a lot of stocks are expensive," Caroline Yu Maurer, head of Greater China equities at BNP Paribas Investment Partners said.
The quota usage for the Shanghai to Hong Kong Stock Connect was more than 80% when southbound while the northbound quota used was around 50%.
Investors have been nervous about investing in Chinese stocks after the market crashed last summer and the government intervened by spending billions to prop it up.
Mainland Chinese shares have fallen around 12% so far this year while Hong Kong is flat.

Write an article based on this "It could be a cultural breakthrough - an EU-wide chain of restaurants that puts Roma hospitality, food and music centre-stage, building relations with a much-maligned community." | But plans to set up the first link in this chain are in jeopardy, and ethnic relations have soured, after a Slovenian local council stepped in to prevent the first restaurant from opening.
There are Roma-owned or Roma-run restaurants elsewhere in the EU, but the restaurant in Maribor would have been the first to use the Roma theme as its starting point.
The restaurant's menu would give a Gypsy twist on dishes found in South-East Europe, such as dolma, burek, goulash and baklava. It would also offer diners a tea leaf reading of the future - the origin of its logo, an upturned cup.
The EU-backed social enterprise also hoped the cultural immersion might improve inter-ethnic relations, while providing employment for Roma, who suffer unusually high levels of economic hardship.
"If an employer in Maribor sees you are Roma you will not get a job," says 37-year-old Bayram Mehmeti, the restaurant's prospective waiter. His parents moved to Maribor from Kosovo 30 years ago.
Mr Mehmeti was among many Kosovo Roma families who moved at around the same time to find work in Maribor's then-thriving industry. But industrial collapse means Roma unemployment is now estimated at 97%, compared to the average of 18%.
Slovenia, a small Alpine country, joined the EU in 2004 - the first ex-Yugoslav state to do so. Like most of its partners in the eurozone it has suffered in the financial crisis.
The restaurant project has already provided training for 23 Roma, five of whom were chosen to join the staff should it manage to open its doors in February. The plan is to reinvest profits to employ more staff and expand elsewhere in the EU.
But the plan was thrown into jeopardy last month, when a community council stopped the restaurant from moving into a vacant pizza restaurant. The premises had been promised by Maribor's mayor, Andrej Fistravec. The blocking move was "obvious xenophobia", says Mr Fistravec, a sociologist before being elected mayor in March.
The city's 3,500 Roma feel let down, says representative Fatmir Beciri, a Maribor resident for the past 35 years.
"I am very sad about this dispute. It is not just a restaurant, it is an opportunity for Roma to get employment," he said.
Having been promised the job of assistant chef Devrije Mazrek, 53, out of work for the past 15 years, says the setback is depressing.
"It put me in a very bad mood. I can't understand why we didn't get the location," she said.
Mr Mehmeti said he had been proud his daughter could tell her nursery friends about him starting work as a waiter.
Mr Fistravec blames his predecessor as mayor, Franc Kangler, for promising the community council the right to decide the building's fate before he resigned in December, having been the target of a series of anti-corruption protests. It is unclear how the legal tussle over the building will be resolved.
The community council denies having anything against a Roma restaurant, but opposes it because it conflicts with its own plans to turn the building into a community centre for all ages.
Critics say the council plan is unfeasible and a smokescreen for residents' antipathy to Roma, which comments about the story in Slovenian online media suggest are widely shared.
"Their [Roma] behaviour is catastrophic," says a middle-aged Slovenian woman privately. "Even the children behave badly, they spit and talk mean. The adults drive around with unregistered cars. They steal and they don't even think of working, especially the women."
According to Mr Fistravec: "Slovenians are outwardly tolerant until they personally get in contact with other ethnic groups". The Slovenian debate over Roma, he says, has evolved into something akin to the "Jewish question".
"We are shocked. We did not feel this hatred before," says Mr Beciri. | huggingface_xsum | Flan2021 | zs_noopt | 9 | train | 219 |
Summarize:
Scottish Sirens, Severn Stars and Coventry-based Wasps have been included, making 10 teams in total.
However, an online petition has been set up in protest against the decision to remove Yorkshire from Superleague.
"To say we are gutted at the outcome is an understatement," said Jets chairperson Mariana Pexton.
"This decision by England Netball will have far-reaching consequences.
"Not having a Superleague franchise for Yorkshire, given all that has been achieved, seems like throwing away a huge opportunity and is a setback for netball and women's sport in the region."
The Jets finished bottom of the table last season, winning only one of their 14 games.
In a statement, England Netball said they would "continue to work with Jets and the wider Yorkshire netball community".
It continued: "We plan to work with them and other unsuccessful applicants to create a foundation that will allow them to join the league in a stronger position in the future, should expansion be possible."
The new expanded league will now have eight clubs from England and one each from Scotland and Wales.
Scottish Sirens, which will be based at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, will be a partnership involving the University of the West of Scotland.
Scotland national coach Gail Parata, who will be the franchise's head of performance, said: "The Sirens Franchise is an exciting and important next step for our sport here in Scotland.
"We will also be able to expose our national athletes to an elite training environment that will enhance their own development and performance as both individuals and a team.
"We look forward to positively contributing to the development of some of the UK's most talented national and pathways players, including our own.
"A successful Superleague will ultimately mean more successful national teams for all of the home nations."
Severn Stars, who are dual based at the University of Gloucester and Worcester University, will play their home matches for now at The Arena in Worcester.
Gloucester does not yet have a suitable venue, but BBC Hereford & Worcester reports that they are looking to build one.

Article: Jack Letts, 20, from Oxford, has been labelled "Jihadi Jack" by some newspapers, which reported he left the UK to join the group when he was 18.
His parents John and Sally Letts said their son wanted to travel to Syria for humanitarian reasons.
And on his Facebook page Jack Letts also said the reports were false.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail newspaper Mr and Mrs Letts described their son as "a really kind, funny kid who is very gentle".
His mother said media reports claiming he had adopted the name Ibrahim or Abu Muhammed and had a son in Iraq were "absolutely ridiculous".
But she said he had converted to Islam and reports he was married could be true.
On Facebook, Jack Letts said: "Maybe they got bored worrying about what colour socks certain celebrities wear and took out the frustration on me."
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "We are unable to comment on any specific cases in relation to individuals.
"Anyone who knows of someone who may be potentially vulnerable to being drawn into terrorist-related activity, including travelling abroad to conflict zones, should contact local police for advice and support."

Article: "There's only love for it. From the moment it was in our drive, the postman, delivery men, everyone was commenting on it," says Steve, 51, who lives in Worcester and works for a fire alarm company.
"The neighbours love it - at least they tell me they do."
After 10 years of wanting one of the iconic red kiosks, he managed to secure it for £1,500 in September.
It was something of a bargain. The oldest red phone boxes can sell for upwards of £15,000 when fully restored.
From Germany to Japan, collectors buy the disused phone booths and either restore them or create new uses, from cocktail cabinets to secret entrances to a child's playroom.
Premier League footballers and rock musicians are also among the buyers. Sharon Osbourne even bought a black phone box that once stood near the Tower of London for husband Ozzy.
On the streets, the spread of mobile phones has left phone boxes in terminal decline. BT is consulting on plans to decommission another 14,000, although most of them will be the more modern stainless steel boxes because many red booths are protected.
With thousands listed as architecturally significant structures, sellers say that demand still outstrips supply.
The most common type of red kiosk - designed by Battersea Power Station architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and known by aficionados as the K6 - turned 80 in October.
"There are certain objects that people see as quintessentially British. The red phone box is certainly one of them," says Hamish Wood, who works at the National Telephone Kiosk Collection at Avoncroft Museum.
They were ubiquitous for decades, and for many people are as recognisable as London's Tower Bridge, he says.
Steve agrees they're a valuable item. "The K6 was only ever built to last 50 years," he says. "I started thinking they're becoming more and more of a collector's item and prices are being driven up."
Yet when it arrived, there was a problem. The phone box, which weighs 750kg - almost twice as heavy as an Aga cooker - had to be lifted over the house into the garden.
The kiosk itself was £850 because of its dilapidated condition, but hiring the crane operator cost £650. "It's the quickest £650 I've ever spent."
It was worth it, he says. Visitors are so keen to see it that they don't take their jackets off, they go straight to the garden.
Most of the second-hand phone boxes are now used as garden features, according to Richard Parker, managing director of X2Connect, which works with BT to refurbish and sell discontinued phone boxes.
Among some of the wackier reports are of a box being re-purposed as a poolside shower in Sydney or as a lift down to someone's wine cellar.
"A Swedish company purchased two of them for staff to use for private mobile calls. It was going back to the old use," Mr Parker says.
The exact number of second-hand K6s in circulation is uncertain, but sellers say it's only a small percentage of the 60,000 on the streets at their peak.
People buy them for their appeal as a "design icon", but also for the nostalgia, says Christian Lewis, restorations manager at Unicorn Restorations, a major seller of the boxes.
"We have had customers purchase telephone boxes or particular types of payphones as they reminded them of making calls to their girlfriend, who is now their wife," he says.
Some older customers hear the "ticking" sound of the old coin box and are taken back to their childhood, he adds.
They were "landmarks", agrees Steve, who grew up in Birmingham. "You would meet your friends there, or shelter from the rain in one of them. When I was a teenager, that was our mobile phone."
But it's unlikely the thousands of steel and glass boxes left increasingly obsolete by mobiles will capture the imagination of collectors in the same way.
"I doubt people will get so sentimental over a modern payphone," Mr Lewis says.

Article: Sirens have been used since the 1950s to warn residents when inmates at the high security psychiatric unit escape.
West London Mental Health Trust wants to replace them with social media alerts, but polls conducted online suggest many local people are opposed.
Bracknell MP Dr Phillip Lee said he had written to the trust seeking reassurances.
The Conservative said: "Where appropriate, we should seek to embrace newer, more effective methods of maintaining security for both patients and residents.
"But it is absolutely vital that communities have confidence in any replacement system."
Dr Lee said he wanted assurances the trust would communicate with residents and said he was also planning to meet its leadership.
The trust has said replacing and maintaining the current sirens costs more than £500,000 and alerting local people through TV, radio, and social media would be faster and more reliable.
They were installed in 1952 after Broadmoor patient John Straffon escaped for 24 hours and killed a young girl in Farley Hill, Berkshire.
Since then, a second perimeter fence has been added, as well as additional alarm and control systems. The sirens were last activated in 1993.
However, on a Facebook poll, many local residents have said they object to the trust's plans.
One resident, James Clark, said: "To me there is no better way than to have the siren." Another, Jim Porter, said: "This may come as a shock, but some folks don't do social media."
However, a trust spokesperson said that the public "should not be concerned" about plans to decommission the sirens, as it is investing money in new alarm systems which will be installed in the hospital grounds.

"To be clear, Shaun's autonomy in the overall management of the first team remains unaltered.
"The position of head coach rather than manager simply reflects our football structure, which ensures the long-term development of our infrastructure, staff and philosophy is implemented by a head of football operations.
"Ben Strang has gradually assumed more of these responsibilities, while still leading our recruitment department, so it makes sense that his responsibilities are clearly defined going forward."

Problem: Article: They form the centrepiece of a display on mammoths at the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester.
Their tusks could grow to 5m (16ft) but only 1.5m (5ft) sections are on show.
At the time the animal died the North Sea did not exist and the area was low-lying grassland connecting the British Isles to the continent.
When the North Sea formed at the end of the last ice age, the tusks became buried in the thin layers of sand at the bottom of the shallow southern part of it.
They remained there for thousands of years and eventually tidal currents and dredging released the fossilised remains, which were caught in the fishing nets of a trawler earlier this year.
Tim Batty, curator of the Dinosaur Museum, said the tusks were unusually coloured because they had been in water for so long.
He said: "The new display comes at a time when new research has revealed that humans were not responsible for the extinction of the mammoths.
"It had traditionally been thought that mammoths had been hunted to extinction.
"However it now appears that it was climate change that caused their extinction.
"Mammoths were well adapted to the low temperatures of the ice age.
"The climatic conditions during the ice age did not favour the growth of trees and consequently there were extensive grasslands for the mammoths to graze on.
"However with the end of the ice age and the warming of temperatures, tree growth accelerated causing a spread of forests and dramatically reducing the available food supply for mammoths."

Problem: Article: The 44-year-old won League Two's manager of the month award for December after four wins from five games.
"The run that we've been on, it's only a small portion of the season. We can't get carried away," said McGreal.
"We've got loads and loads of work left. Our main job at the minute is to keep minds focused on the next game."
The former Ipswich defender took his first job in management in the summer following Colchester's relegation from League One.
The U's struggled at the start of the campaign, including a winless run of 10 matches from September until mid-November, but have taken 19 points from the last 21.
McGreal told BBC Essex: "The small window I've had as a manager, it has been a roller-coaster. There's been some ups and downs but every single moment I've enjoyed it.
"Even on the winless run I've enjoyed it. When we're winning it's great but you just want to keep improving.
"We've had the relegation, we don't want to keep banging on about that, it was tough losing a lot of players, it's a new team and new management team but we're just trying to win games of football."

Problem: Article: Pravin Gordhan, the country's third finance minister in less than a week, was making his first comments since he was appointed on Sunday.
He refused to mention any names but there are concerns that some state-run firms are being poorly managed.
In a bid to reassure the markets, he said that the country "will stay the course of sound fiscal management".
Last week, President Jacob Zuma sacked previous Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene in a widely criticised move that sent the rand to record lows.
Mr Gordhan replaced David van Rooyen who had only been in the job since Thursday.
'Zuma Must Still Fall': South Africa reacts to economic troubles
He told journalists that "it's time that individuals, or groups of individuals, stop playing with state entities... as if [they're] a personal toy from which you can extract money when you feel like".
"We do require a bit of national reflection... as to how do we want to manage state resources," he added.
Mr Nene's reluctance to approve a plan to build several nuclear power stations at a cost of up to $100bn is thought to have contributed to his removal as finance minister.
He also opposed plans for to buy a new presidential jet and to bail out the national airline.
Mr Gordhan was widely respected when he served as South Africa's finance minister from 2009 until 2014.
But President Zuma's move to get rid of him drew a lot of criticism from within the governing ANC.
BBC Africa business reporter Lerato Mbele says his re-appointment is designed to quell market discontent and restore some confidence.
It appeared to have an immediate effect with the currency rising, recovering from just over 16 rand to the dollar to about 15 by Monday morning, according to currency site xe.com.
The Johannesburg stock exchange also recovered some of last week's losses.
President Jacob Zuma's decision to fire two finance ministers in the space of a week has been a colossal blunder.
Not only has it been recognised by opposition parties, who are calling for his resignation, but also by the general public and the financial markets.
The president acknowledged his initial mistake, hence the change in mind.
But what is happening with the governing African National Congress?
The ANC leadership was not consulted and seemed to be hearing about the dramatic appointments at the same time as the rest of us.
There is no doubt that the continent's oldest liberation movement is in disarray.
President Zuma will emerge weaker but the party will not lose votes in the medium term - as people remain loyal to the movement if not the individual.
Zuma's careless blunder
Mr Gordhan has a hard job with unemployment currently above 25%, growth sluggish and credit rating agency Fitch recently downgrading South Africa to one notch above "junk" status.
The brief tenure of Mr van Rooyen and the uncertainty it caused may have damaged South Africa's reputation further, analysts say.
Mohammed Nalla, head of research at Nedbank Capital, said having a finance minister serve just a few days did not bode well.
"International investors are probably thinking: 'Why didn't the president make a much more considered decision in the first place?'" he said.
Former Health Minister Barbara Hogan on Friday called on Mr Zuma to resign. The highest-profile ANC member to oppose Mr Nene's removal, she said that the president had crossed a line and needed to be held to account.
Razia Khan, an analyst with Standard Chartered bank, said the turmoil was "perhaps the first instance since 2007 that Zuma has come under severe pressure within the party".
A statement from Mr Zuma's office said he had "received many representations" to reconsider his decision to appoint Mr van Rooyen.
"As a democratic government, we emphasise the importance of listening to the people and to respond to their views," it added.
Fitch said on Thursday that Mr Nene's sacking "raised more negative than positive questions".

The future of the Teesside steel plant, which paused production on 18 September due to a global drop in the price of steel, remains unclear.
The plant employs about 2,000 people and unions and MPs had called on the company to make sure they were paid.
SSI said this month's pay roll is being processed.
The payment was made possible through a tax relief given to SSI by the government.
Business Minister Anna Soubry said: "I am very pleased that action we have taken has allowed the company to ensure workers got paid today.
"I made it clear that workers getting paid was a priority and government officials have worked very hard to help the company so they could achieve this.
"It will be some relief for workers and their families at this difficult and uncertain time."
A task force has been set up to support the workforce and liaise with SSI.

For a start, all of the parties will be battling to get their voices heard against a noisy backdrop of the EU referendum campaign.
Then there is the UKIP factor - the party has a realistic chance of winning a number of seats for the first time and, in so doing, changing the dynamic of politics at the assembly.
All of the parties have problems to overcome.
Labour have the triple-whammy of criticism over their handling of the NHS, appearing fresh after 17 years in power and the unknown impact of their UK leader Jeremy Corbyn in marginal seats where they are up against the Conservatives.
And on the subject of disappointing elections, the Liberal Democrats have to try to bounce back from their crushing result last year.
The Tories have the job of ensuring divisions over the EU referendum do not derail attempts to maintain the party's momentum in Wales, after some eye-catching victories in the general election.
Plaid Cymru has to create some kind of electoral momentum after a number of disappointing election results.
UKIP clearly has a major opportunity to return a handful of AMs, which would give them a power base they've lacked in any political institution in the UK so far, but they have been dogged by serious internal divisions.
An incoming Welsh Government will, in time, have more powers than any previous administration, but expect the campaign to be dominated by the NHS, which has been devolved since 1999.
The policy-makers will all have to wrestle with helping a health service under enormous financial pressure, while at the same time maintaining support in areas such as schools and the economy.
There are plenty of policies where there is broad consensus among the parties, such as the need for apprentices and business rate relief for small firms, but there are a number of highly-divisive issues, including plans for an M4 relief road and council reorganisation, where voters are facing genuine choices.
The jury is out on what will happen to turnout, which last time was 42%.
The danger is that assembly politics will be drowned out by the EU referendum, but at the same time media interest surrounding the NHS, in particular over the past five years, will also have raised the profile of devolution in the minds of the public.
