Question: Colombian police say they have captured a carrier pigeon that was being used to smuggle drugs into a prison.

The bird was trying to fly into a jail in the north-eastern city of Bucaramanga with marijuana and cocaine paste strapped to its back, but did not make it.
Police believe the 45g (1.6oz) drug package was too heavy for it.
The bird is now being cared for by the local ecological police unit, officers said.
"We found the bird about a block away from the prison trying to fly over with a package, but due to the excess weight it could not accomplish its mission," said Bucaramanga police commander Jose Angel Mendoza.
"This is a new case of criminal ingenuity."
The pigeon is thought to have been trained by inmates or their accomplices.
Police said carrier pigeons had been used in the past to smuggle mobile phone Sim cards into the jail.

The veterinarian, on the run for 10 years, is wanted by US authorities for extradition on drugs charges.
He had been in charge of a veterinary clinic in the Colombian city of Medellin in which police found a number of puppies with bags of liquid heroin implanted into their stomachs.
He was detained in north-western Spain.
Colombian police found the Labrador and Rottweiler puppies with the drug implants in 2005 in a Medellin veterinary clinic.
They said the puppies had been due to be shipped to the United States "as pets" to avoid arousing the suspicion of the customs authorities.
The Venezuelan man was arrested by the Spanish authorities once before, in 2013, but disappeared while awaiting extradition to the United States.
Before his 2013 arrest he had been on the run from police for eight years.
Spanish police said this time he had hidden in the town of Santa Comba in La Coruna province and broken off all communication with his wife and children in order not to be located by the authorities.

Question: Investment in the eurozone remains far below pre-crisis levels, partly due to problems in the banks, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has said.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Bad debts at the banks are making them less willing to lend.
The OECD says many legacies of the area's financial crisis are unresolved and major new problems have emerged.
Europe has, however, made "important progress" to recover from a double dip recession.
The eurozone's economy has now been growing without interruption for three years. But it has not been strong growth, and it has been supported by what are called (perhaps euphemistically) the unconventional policies of the European Central Bank - extremely low, even negative interest rates and quantitative easing.
In its regular health check on the eurozone economy, the OECD notes that investment is far below 2007 levels, unlike the United States.
The reasons include weak demand - businesses will always be reluctant to invest if they are concerned that they may struggle to sell the goods and services they produce with the new investment.
But there are also some financial factors holding back investment. In some countries businesses are still burdened with high levels of debt.
The banks are struggling with high levels of "non-performing loans" - where borrowers are behind with their repayments.  That tends to makes the banks more wary of new lending.
Two countries stand out as having particularly acute problems in this area - Greece and Italy, although they are not alone.
On one measure, the Italian banks look in even worse shape than their counterparts in Greece, the country whose economy has been most severely hit by the eurozone financial crisis.
The Italian banks have a higher level of non-performing loans compared to their capital, which is a financial buffer that is used to absorb losses, including losses due to problem borrowers.
Italy's banks are seen as a serious weak link in the eurozone. The country's economy has started growing again, but it remains 8.5% smaller than it was before the international financial crisis.
Italy's government also has a problem with a persistently rising debt burden, behind only Greece in the eurozone. That in turn makes it a struggle for the government to bail out its banks, if they need it.
Indeed the OECD report warns about "the still large potential for negative feedback loops between banks and their sovereigns", although it doesn't name Italy specifically in that context.
The eurozone's banking union was intended to address that problem. The OECD says it needs to be completed. In particular the OECD says there should be more by way of eurozone-wide financial backstops - for a fund to deal with failing banks and for insurance to protect depositors if their bank goes bust.
These ideas are not popular in some eurozone countries, especially Germany where there seen as by many as a case of Germany underwriting the banks in other eurozone nations.
The wider message from the OECD report is that the eurozone may be out of immediate danger, but it is not in robust health.

Eurostat, the EU's statistical agency, said the jobless rate in the 19 country eurozone had fallen to 10.4% from 10.5% in November.
This means 16.75 million people are jobless, down 49,000 from November.
In the full 28 member European Union the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9% in December.
Among the member states Greece and Spain continue to have the highest jobless total at over 20%.
The Czech Republic and Germany had the lowest rate, both at 4.5%.
Although the German authorities, using a different calculation method, released a domestic unemployment rate of 6.3% for December earlier on Tuesday.
Youth unemployment in the eurozone was 22%, compared with 23% in December 2014.
The eurozone's total jobless figure is better than analysts expected because of fears surrounding the slowdown in China and volatility in financial markets.
Jennifer McKeown, Capital Economics analyst, welcomed the improvement, but said a slowing global economy could reverse any progress.
"We still think that the European Central Bank has a lot more work to do," she added.
Howard Archer, economist at IHS Global Insight, said he expected continued modest growth, with unemployment falling to below 10% by the end of the year if current trends continued.

Question: Rugby union referee Nigel Owens says the sport must "do everything" it can to limit serious injuries.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Wales winger George North will not play again this month on the advice of a neurologist after suffering four head injuries in the last five months.
Owens suggests tackling technique and head protection are areas to explore.
"It is a contact game and unfortunately some serious injuries happen," said Owens, who has been an international referee since 2005.
"We need to do everything we can to make them happen less often."
Owens was speaking on Radio 5 Live's Friday Sports Panel, and then later spoke to the BBC to clarify his comments.
He said: "You could make it compulsory that every player has to wear a head-guard.
"I do not think that would stop every concussion but it would give you safety regarding it.
"The other thing is getting the tackling technique correct, putting the head in the right place, make it as safe as you possibly can.
"But would they work? I don't know. I'm not sure what we can change in the laws of game that would make it safer, apart from taking the head collision away somehow."
North was knocked out as Saints beat Wasps 52-30 in a Premiership Game on 27 March.
The wing missed Wales' 12-6 win over South Africa in the autumn internationals after being concussed against New Zealand, and was then struck twice on the head while playing against England during the Six Nations.
Former World Rugby medical adviser Dr Barry O'Driscoll has said that North should not play again this season.
Owens added: "The medical experts will give their opinions and at the end of day it will be down to George to decide."

The Welsh official, 43, who is the first openly gay man to referee at the highest level, said he would be willing to meet the supporters.
"I'd tell them to think twice about saying things," Owens told BBC Radio 5 live.
"They go to the stadiums, get drunk and think its fine to shout abuse."
Owens took charge of the Twickenham Test on 8 November - when other supporters sitting nearby reported the abuse to the Rugby Football Union.
The two fans have been banned from Twickenham for two years and must also pay £1,000 each to a charity of Nigel Owens' choice.
A second investigation is still ongoing into a separate incident of alleged homophobic abuse in a different part of the ground.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The official, who is one of the assistant referees at Twickenham on Saturday for England against Australia, praised the RFU for coming down hard on discrimination.
But he said rugby has become "more accessible to people who are probably not traditional rugby supporters".
"It's up to rugby people in the stadium saying 'that's not acceptable in this sport' so we can get rid of them from the game," he said.
The official revealed he would be willing to meet the banned supporters to hear their explanations of "exactly what they said and why they said it".
"I'd tell them to think twice about saying things, because it's not me they're hurting, it's the young kid sitting in the row in front who's maybe dealing with their own sexuality. The most difficult thing I ever had to do in my life was accepting I was gay. It's someone sitting two seats away, going through what I went through, dealing with who they are, who are the people they're putting in danger.
"I've been there myself and I know they can tip you over the edge, I had a second chance, let's make sure that we don't put other people in that situation - because there's no need for it in society and no need for it in life.
"People say that I've broken down barriers by being a gay man in sport, but the true heroes here are the ones who don't stand by, who stand up and bring it to the attention of the governing bodies."
RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie said: "While instances of this nature are exceptionally rare, the RFU takes rugby's values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship very seriously, and is determined to uphold them.
"We are all guardians of these aspects of the game, on and off the pitch, and it is these values which make the sport special."
The RFU was told of the abuse by other supporters.
Owens was appointed an international referee in 2005 and announced he was gay two years later.
He has since officiated at the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, and was only the second man to referee two consecutive Heineken Cup finals - in 2008 and 2009.
Before alerting the RFU, supporter Keith Wilson wrote a letter to the Guardian newspaper stating a group of supporters shouted "nasty, foul-mouthed, racist, homophobic abuse" at the official during England's 24-21 defeat.
After the incident came to light, England head coach Stuart Lancaster said: "We applaud the stance the RFU are taking and the investigation.
"We have got to understand the pressures that people are under and be supportive. That is all we want to achieve with referees."
Owens - who attempted suicide before coming out as gay - has been cited as an inspiration for the gay and lesbian community.
He has previously admitted considered quitting as a result of the sometimes vicious comments made by supporters.

Question: Two leading Australian trainers have been banned after their horses failed drugs tests.

Melbourne Cup winner Mark Kavanagh was banned for three years and Danny O'Brien for four over the use of cobalt chloride, which exceeded permitted levels, according to Racing Victoria.
Kavanagh, who won Australia's biggest race in 2009 with Shocking, and O'Brien are appealing against the verdicts.
Vet Dr Tom Brennan was given a five-year ban.
Four of O'Brien's horses and one trained by Kavanagh failed tests after urine samples were taken in 2014.
"We have raised issues over how this whole process has played out over the last 12 months," O'Brien said.
The trainers will appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, and were granted a stay of proceedings allowing their horses to run until Friday.
A Racing Victoria statement said the governing body was "fully committed to enforcing the rules of racing and protecting the integrity of the sport".
Peter Moody, trainer of the record-breaking sprinter Black Caviar, is still awaiting the verdict in a case centred on another of his horses.

The horse, owned by JP McManus, showed traces of medication which had not cleared his system on race day.
Yanworth tested positive for triamcinolone acetonide (TCA).
The anti-inflammatory may be used legally to treat horses, but it must have cleared their system by race days.
Yanworth, owned by JP McManus, was beaten 14 lengths by Buveur D'Air in the Champion Hurdle.
He subsequently won the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree in April. The seven-year-old passed a drugs test after that victory.
King received the punishment from a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel after an inquiry was held on Thursday.

Question: Britain's Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow won Olympic bronze in the men's synchronised 10m platform at Rio 2016.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The pair, who began training together last October, clinched only GB's eighth Olympic diving medal after pipping Germany to third place in a tense finish.
China's Lin Yue and Chen Aisen, the pre-competition favourites, won gold by a comfortable margin.
United States pair David Boudia and Steele Johnson claimed silver.
Daley is one of Britain's most recognisable Olympians after competing at the Beijing Games in 2008 aged 14 and then winning bronze in the 10m platform under intense pressure in his home Games in London in 2012.
While the 22-year-old is better known for his individual exploits, he and 19-year-old Goodfellow were fancied to win a synchro medal after taking European silver in May.
They were the last pair to dive in the open-air Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, meaning they knew what they needed to do to overhaul Germany's former world champions Patrick Hausding and Sascha Klein with their final effort.
With a score of over 84 points needed, the British duo waited anxiously before leaping into the pool in celebration when the score of 89.64 came up.
"Going into the last round there's an intense pressure in any competition, but when it's the Olympics it multiplies by a million," said Daley.
Goodfellow added: "I was nervous. But when we first started we knew there would be pressure. And we knew we'd be the last divers to go.
"We just kept our nerve and stayed in the moment."
Daley and Goodfellow, who moved in with his older team-mate as a lodger before the Games, put themselves in medal contention from their first dive.
They were joint third in the standings after round one, remaining in the bronze medal position following their second and third dives.
A loose dive saw them drop to fifth after round four, but they moved back into third with a forward four-and-a-half-somersault dive described by BBC Sport expert Leon Taylor at the time as their "best of the day".
They then trumped that with their final effort, keeping their composure to secure a sixth-round score only bettered by the Chinese and Americans.
China's Lin and Chen have dominated the synchro event since linking up last year, winning the World Championship, World Cup and four World Series events.
They showed why with a masterful display on their Olympic debut together.
Find out how to get into diving with our special guide.
Lin, 25, and Chen, 20, led from the opening round, winning with a total of 496.98 points ahead of Boudia and Johnson (457.11) and Daley and Goodfellow (444.45).
Their victory was China's fourth consecutive Olympic gold in the event and maintains the country's hopes of a clean sweep of the eight diving events.
Watch a spiky-haired 14-year-old Daley tell Gabby Logan in 2008 that diving from the 10m platform was "like doing loop-the-loops on a rollercoaster" and he was "scared" the first time he jumped from the 10m platform.

Question: China has rejected calls from several foreign governments to free five women's rights activists who have spent nearly three weeks in detention.

Foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said that nobody had the right to ask China to release the group.
The activists were planning public campaigns against sexual harassment.
They were arrested in early March in the run-up to China's top political meetings, which coincided with International Women's Day.
The BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says grassroots groups in China have been reporting a marked rise in the detention of political activists, as the ruling Communist Party moves to suppress political opposition.
Ms Hua said in a daily briefing to reporters on Wednesday that Beijing "hoped relevant people would stop interfering in China's judicial sovereignty".
Her remarks came a day after the UK's Foreign Office said it was "deeply concerned" about the ongoing detention.
A spokesman said that the women were "peacefully demonstrating" against sexual harassment and that the UK was particularly concerned by reports that the detainees have been denied due legal process and medical care.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, and the European Union have also called for their release.
Ms Power, who has tweeted several times on the topic, reiterated her call last week in a fresh statement, saying: "If China is committed to advancing the rights of women, then it should be working to address the issues raised by these women's rights activists - not silencing them."
The five women - Wu Rongrong, Wei Tingting, Wang Man, Zheng Churan and Li Tingting - were planning a march in a Beijing park and other gatherings in Beijing and Guangzhou, calling for safe sex and awareness of sexual harassment.
Two of the women suffer from serious illnesses - chronic liver disease and a heart condition - and have been moved to a hospital detention centre.
Their health problems have been exacerbated by lengthy interrogation sessions, their lawyers say.

Mr Yang, who is also known by his pen-name Guo Feixiang, is accused of disturbing public order last year.
He has claimed that the trial, being conducted in the southern city of Guangzhou, is illegal and improper.
Chinese authorities have mounted a widespread crackdown on dissenters and critics in recent years.
Mr Yang, 48, and another activist Sun Desheng, 32, had organised a small protest calling for media freedom outside the offices of major newspaper Southern Weekend. Its journalists had complained about government censorship.
Mr Yang released a statement from prison on the eve of the trial saying there had been numerous violations of legal procedure.
He claimed his lawyers had not been allowed copies of evidence against him and he was unable to mount a proper defence.
"I express my strongest protest and condemnation of... this flagrant violation of the rule of law," he said in a statement posted on the website of activist network New Citizens' Movement, which he is a member of.
One of Mr Yang's lawyers told Reuters that the four lawyers representing both Mr Yang and Mr Sun were boycotting the trial because they were not granted at least three days advance notice to prepare.
Mr Yang is known for helping residents of a southern Chinese village organise themselves in 2006 against a local Communist Party official who they accused of illegally selling their land to enrich themselves, according to AFP.
He was later sentenced to five years in prison for "running an illegal business".
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas says Mr Yang's prosecution is being watched closely as it comes amid the broadest crackdown carried out by China's ruling Communist Party in recent years.
Dozens of activists and government critics have been targeted, many detained, and some prosecuted on broad public order charges, says our correspondent.
Earlier this year, the founder of the New Citizens' Movement, Xu Zhiyong, was jailed for four years earlier for disrupting public order.
Last month, well-known Chinese dissident Gao Zhisheng was released having allegedly suffering physical and psychological abuse in jail.

Question: While much of Europe has been forced indoors by a fierce cold snap, the Dutch have been elevated to a state of euphoria as skating fever grips the nation.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

Frozen canals, rivers and lakes have transformed the Netherlands into one enormous ice-rink.
Sports shops have sold out of skates, bike suppliers are swapping their cycles for sledges and all over the country people are having their blades sharpened ready to take advantage of the ice generated by exceptionally cold winter.
"It's in our genes. We've been skating for centuries," explains Bert van Voorbergen, who runs an online skating museum in the town of Almere.
"Every year when frost comes, there's something indescribable released inside. As soon as there is ice, everyone is the same, everyone is equal. Maybe that's why we love it so much."
What stirred most excitement in the Netherlands was the chance that this year, for the first time since 1997, it might be cold enough to hold the ice race to end all ice races: the "Elfstedentocht" or Eleven Cities Race - the biggest competition held on natural ice in the world.
It covers 200km (124 miles) of land, features 16,000 skaters and can attract more than two million spectators.
The nation was buzzing, Dutch media covering every twist and turn in a story that filled much of the main evening news broadcasts on national TV.
A tweet from Olympic speed-skating Gold medallist Mark Tuitert summed up the sentiments of skaters across the country who say they've been struck by "Elfstedentocht fever".
Bike shop owner Martin de Vries told me he was in school when it was last held 15 years ago.
"We didn't have internet then, only radio, and everywhere you went everyone was tuned in to the race. It was crazy, everyone rushing home to try and catch it on TV. Or if you were lucky enough to get tickets, of course, you'd be up there cheering on the skaters."
But on Wednesday night came the news millions had been dreading - the organisers announced: "It's not on."
For the Elfstedentocht to go ahead, the temperatures must stay below freezing and for the past few days in Leeuwarden my thermometer's mercury has been bobbing around the -3C mark.
But it is also essential that the ice remains thick so as not to crack under the pressure of 16,000 skaters.
The Frisian Eleven Cities Association - set up to measure the ice and monitor the conditions - says it needs 15cm (6in) of ice covering the entire track before they can say those mythical words "it's on".
At the moment some parts of the route have only half the depth required.
Every year the "will-they-won't-they" speculation surrounding this legendary race starts to swirl around towns, villages and all over the media at the first signs of a frost.
The race tradition began in 1909. The last contest was won by a turnip farmer.
And this year the Netherlands recorded its lowest temperatures in 27 years.
Preparations have been underway for days.
A team of eager volunteers - assisted by a small army of soldiers based near the Friesland route - has been helping to shovel away the snow to give the ice the best possible hope of staying strong.
But in the end it seems their best efforts were in vain.
After the decision, the association's "ice master" Jan Oostenbrug urged skaters not to despair and instead get out on the ice and skate their disappointment away.
There is a small chance the race will still go ahead later in the season.
But with a thaw forecast for Sunday, hopes are fading like the frost. Many are resigning themselves to the cold hard fact that they may have to wait another year before Elfstendentocht fever strikes again.
However, skaters have been turning up in their hundreds in the village of Giethoorn, just outside Friesland, to race on a shorter course that runs for more than 25km between villages and does not have the same stringent regulations as the official Eleven Cities race.
Although the skaters are still holding out hope that the main contest can go ahead, for now they are making the most of the freezing conditions.

One of the biggest groups to feel the heat were the thousands arriving at Glastonbury Festival.  Elsewhere, people took to pools, parks, fountains and rivers to cool off.

Question: A train carrying 150 passengers was "seconds away" from crashing into a huge pile of debris, a union said.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary.

An estimated 200 tonnes of rubble fell on to the line when a wall collapsed just outside Liverpool Lime Street station at 17:45 GMT on Tuesday.
Northern confirmed the driver of its Manchester Airport to Liverpool service hit the emergency brake after a red signal was triggered.
"It was seconds from disaster," said RMT regional organiser John Tilley.
"If it had hit the debris, then it would have derailed and there would have been fatalities.
"The only saving grace would have been that it was [only] travelling at 50mph.
"The debris coming down triggered the sensors [on the overhead lines] which thought that a train was on the line so the signal went red.
"Thankfully the train was just the right side of the signal otherwise it would have been a different story."
The 16:40 Northern service from Manchester Airport had to be evacuated, as did another Northern train from Wigan which was behind it.
A Virgin Trains service going to London Euston, which had just left Liverpool just after 18:00, also had to be halted.
A Northern spokesman said: "We are aware of two of our trains being caught up in the wall collapse.
"It just shows the red signal system works."
Network Rail said it was aware that trains had to be evacuated.
A spokesman said the company expects services in and out of the station to resume by 9 March.
He added that the work being carried out was a "temporary solution" and the track would have to be closed again at a later date to allow for a permanent fix.

Many more people are injured and some are in a critical condition. Local authorities have appealed for people to give blood.
Mr Renzi has ordered an official investigation in to the crash, which happened on Tuesday morning.
The trains were on a single-track line between the towns of Bari and Barletta.
It was unclear what led to the collision, which happened in good weather at 11:30 local time (09:30 GMT) in the southern region of Puglia.
Rescue workers from the emergency services have been trying to free passengers from the shattered carriages and one small child was pulled out and airlifted to hospital.
Mr Renzi said it was "a moment for tears".
He said: "I want to express my condolences to the families and I have ordered, with no holding back, an inquiry to find who is responsible.
"I think we must have absolute clarity on this. We will not stop until we understand what happened."
Italy's President Sergio Mattarella said the crash was "an unacceptable tragedy" and his "first thought" was with victims and their families.
Under floodlights, heavy machinery is pulling pieces of wreckage from the line as rescue teams check for any more bodies.
It looks like the recovery effort will continue round the clock.
Even the army has been brought to the olive groves on this remote stretch of rural line.
From some of the carriages there is very little left that is recognisable - this was a powerful, sudden impact at high speed.
This line is privately run with a decent safety record. So the key question is how did two trains end up on the same piece of track speeding towards each other?
Both trains had four carriages and some were so badly damaged by the crash that there was little left but debris.
"I saw dead people, others who were begging for help, people crying. The worst scene of my life," one policeman told journalists.
Italian media reported that the first named victim was a 53-year-old policeman called Fulvio Schinzari, whose body was found by a fellow policeman who was helping the rescue services.
In total, about 200 were involved in the rescue operation, working in temperatures up to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F).

Question: A woman has died in a collision involving a car and a lorry in Staffordshire.

She was a passenger in the car when the crash involving the stationary lorry happened at about 09:00 BST on the A50 near Blythe Bridge in Stoke-on-Trent.
A man and a young child in the car were assessed and discharged at the scene.
The woman had serious injuries and "unfortunately it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save her," the ambulance service said.
Nobody was inside the lorry at the time.

The crash happened on Sunday at about 09:00 BST on the A1123 in the centre of Wilburton village.
It is believed the tractor was towing a laden muck-spreader when it crashed into the house.
Investigations are continuing into the crash that blocked part of the High Street. In January 2011 a carrot tractor crashed into the house.

Question: An influential Commons committee has urged David Cameron not to press ahead with a vote on UK air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria.

The Foreign Affairs Committee - which has a Conservative majority - said the prime minister should instead focus on efforts to end Syria's civil war.
It also raised concerns about the legal basis for any UK action.
Downing Street has strongly denied reports Mr Cameron has abandoned plans for a vote altogether.
Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC the government's position had not changed and there was still an intention to ask MPs for authorisation for military action.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said there had to be a political solution and he did not believe that "more bombing is going to help in this".
The Times and the Guardian claimed the prime minister has decided against a second vote on the issue because he lacks MPs' support.
A Downing Street source told the BBC the reports were "complete nonsense".
The committee of MPs said no vote should take place on Syria until the government presents a "coherent international strategy" to defeat Islamic State (IS) and end the country's civil war.
It said it was "not yet persuaded" ministers could address its concerns.
A vote on extending RAF air strikes into Syria had widely been expected to take place in the autumn, although the prime minister had stressed he would only do so when he was sure of a "consensus" among MPs.
About 20-30 Conservative MPs were expected to rebel against their party in the event of a vote.
Mr Cameron was defeated in a 2013 vote on possible UK military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government by 285-272.
Following that vote, he said he would respect the decision, and ruled out joining US-led strikes - although it later emerged that UK pilots embedded with coalition forces had conducted air strikes against IS over Syria.
BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said it was widely acknowledged that Russia's bombing campaign in Syria and deep splits within Labour made any swift attempt to seek the consent of MPs for air strikes unlikely.
Russia began those attacks in September, with President Vladimir Putin saying the aim was to "stabilise the legitimate authority" of President Assad.
A Downing Street source said: "The prime minister's position hasn't changed. He's consistently said that we would only go back to the House on this issue if there was clear consensus and that remains the case."
The government is "working closely with our allies to inject greater momentum into efforts to find a political solution", the source added.
However, some Conservatives told the BBC they were concerned by the newspaper reports.
One senior party figure said if the prime minister had decided not to seek military action, then ministers should come to the House of Commons to explain their position.
Mr Osborne said the government would not return to the Commons for authorisation "unless we would be clear we would win that vote, and there would be consensus for that action".
He added: "And at the moment it's not clear there is a majority for it, so as I say we continue to make that argument and when the time comes we'll put the vote to the people in the House of Commons."
Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Committee warned that any benefits of air strikes in Syria would be more than outweighed by the risks of "legal ambiguity, political chaos on the ground, military irrelevance, and diplomatic costs".
It said:
The committee said there was a "powerful sense that something must be done" given the "humanitarian and security catastrophe" in Syria, and agreed that defeating IS, also known as Isil, was a "necessary goal" for the UK.
It added: "However, we believe that there should be no extension of British military action into Syria unless there is a coherent international strategy that has a realistic chance of defeating Isil and of ending the civil war in Syria.
"In the absence of such a strategy, taking action to meet the desire to do something is still incoherent."
The committee outlined a series of points that should be explained before the government asks MPs to back its case.
These include how the action would improve the chances of success against IS, how it would contribute to a transition plan for Syria, and whether the UK has the backing of "key regional players" Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
The MPs also want to know which ground forces would take control of land captured from IS.
They said the government was attempting to treat IS and the broader Syrian civil war as separate issues, saying they were "not persuaded" by such an approach.
Committee chairman Crispin Blunt said: "By becoming a full combatant in the US-led campaign at this stage, the UK risks needlessly compromising its independent diplomatic ability to support an international political solution to the crisis."
Labour leader Mr Corbyn is opposed to military intervention, although not all of his MPs share this stance.
On Monday night, shadow foreign minister Catherine West said Labour would consult the Stop the War Coalition ahead of any vote, BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins reported.
Stop the War is opposed to any military action and believes the United States is to blame for the lack of a ceasefire in Syria.
Mr Corbyn stepped down as the coalition's chairman after becoming Labour leader but continues to support its work.
Ms West later said her comments, at a Stop the War event at Westminster, had been addressed to a group of Syrian refugees at the meeting, but a Labour spokesman confirmed the party would "listen to representations from the Stop the War Coalition, as it would from other external bodies, before coming to any decision".
Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn has not ruled out supporting air strikes and Labour MPs could have been offered a free vote, meaning they would not have been bound by the party line.
But Mr Benn told Sky News there wasn't a government "proposition" on the table at the moment, claiming it had taken its "eye of the ball" and focused on military action at the expense of "comprehensive" efforts to build diplomatic support in the region and deal with the refugee fallout.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said defeating IS and ending the Syrian war were "two faces of the same problem that Britain is working tirelessly with our international partners to overcome".
He added: "Britain remains committed to using every tool available to save lives and create the conditions for peace in Iraq and Syria."

She is also calling on the G7 members to contribute to a fund for poor countries suffering the worst consequences of climate change.
There are also talks on the threat from radical extremism with the leaders of Nigeria, Tunisia and Iraq.
The summit is being held at the picturesque Schloss Elmau hotel in Kruen in the Bavarian Alps.
The leaders of the US, UK, Japan, France, Canada and Italy are attending the talks, hosted by Ms Merkel.
The first working session on Monday focused on climate and energy, with Chancellor Merkel trying to get leaders to agree to keeping temperature rises within 2C of pre-industrial levels.
She is hoping to secure commitments from her G7 guests on tackling global warming to build momentum before a major United Nations climate summit in Paris in December.
G7 leaders were then joined by Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi to discuss the threat posed by groups like Islamic State (IS) and Boko Haram.
On Sunday, Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK was sending an extra 125 military trainers to Iraq to help in the battle against IS, describing the militants as "the biggest threat" G7 leaders had to address.
IS continues to control large swathes of Iraq and Syria despite being the target of a US-led air campaign against them.
In Nigeria, a similar regional battle is being fought against Boko Haram militants who have carried out attacks since 2009 to try to create an Islamic state.

Question: Singer Amy Winehouse died after drinking too much alcohol, a second inquest has confirmed.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence!

Winehouse, 27, was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, in 2011.
The verdict is identical to the first hearing which had to be repeated after the deputy coroner was found to lack the relevant experience.
The deputy coroner had been hired by her husband, senior coroner for inner north London area, but had not been a registered lawyer for five years.
Dr Shirley Radcliffe, St Pancras Coroner, recorded a verdict of misadventure, the same as the original inquest in October 2011. The hearing also heard the same evidence as the first inquest.
The hearing was told the star was more than five times the legal drink-drive limit when she died, having 416mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in her system - the legal driving limit is 80mg.
Dr Radcliffe said the star died from "alcohol toxicity", adding it was "a level of alcohol commonly associated with fatality".
She said Winehouse "voluntarily consumed alcohol" and added "two empty vodka bottles were on the floor" beside her bed when her body was discovered.
In a written statement, Winehouse's GP, Dr Christina Romete, said she saw her patient the night before her death. "She specifically said she did not want to die," said Dr Romete.
The doctor added: "She was genuinely unwilling to follow the advice of doctors, being someone who wanted to do things her own way."
The doctor's statement also revealed Winehouse struggled with an eating disorder, where she made herself sick.
In a written statement, Winehouse's live-in security guard Andrew Morris spoke about the moment he realised she was dead.
"I was upset and shaken," he said. "She's like a sister to me."
Det Insp Les Newman confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances over the death.
The inquest was told the post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as alcohol toxicity and the singer probably suffered a respiratory arrest.
The move to hold another inquest came after an investigation found that Suzanne Greenaway, who oversaw the first inquest, did not have the correct qualifications for the role.
She was appointed in July 2009 by her husband, Andrew Reid after she had worked as a solicitor and barrister in Australia.
But she stepped down in November 2011 when it emerged that she did not have the requisite five years' experience in the Law Society.
Dr Reid resigned from his position last month after the Office for Judicial Complaints launched disciplinary proceedings against him.
Other inquests conducted by Ms Greenaway have also been reheard.

Question: Andy Murray saw off British opposition for the second day running as he beat Kyle Edmund to reach the semi-finals at Queen's Club.

Murray, seeded number one, came through 6-4 3-6 6-1 as he chases a record fifth Aegon Championships title.
Edmund, 21, put up a strong challenge before Murray took control in the final set.
The Scot will face Marin Cilic in the last four after the Croat beat American Steve Johnson 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 6-4.
"I train with Kyle, I know how good he is," Murray told BBC Sport.
"He's a big, strong guy with a very powerful game. When he's on he's very difficult to play in practice, and I felt it today as well. I expected it to be hard."
Murray knows Edmund well after inviting the Englishman to join him in Miami for off-season training for the past three years, but this was their first competitive meeting.
Edmund had beaten eighth seed Gilles Simon in round one and began with a confident service game.
Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.
His heavy serve and forehand were in evidence, as well as some flashes of skill in the forecourt, with a sharp volley helping him recover an early break.
Murray broke again on his way to clinching the first set, a spectacular lunging volley bringing the crowd alive, but the top seed twice fell a break down in the second.
Edmund's big forehand took him 4-2 ahead - after a nasty slip at the net by Murray - and the world number 85 came through a dramatic game of three break points to level at one set all.
With grey clouds gathering, Murray stepped on the accelerator in the final set.
A brilliant running forehand in the first game and some typically sharp returning helped him to a 3-0 lead, and he closed it out from 15-40 down thanks to some good serving.
"I am pleased with the way I played and overall it's been a positive week for me," said Edmund.
"I thought I played well but Andy is so tough to beat because he makes it so difficult for you when it really matters."
Murray made his breakthrough in terms of public attention with a run to the last 16 at Queen's Club in 2005, when ranked 357th in the world, and he made a plea on Edmund's behalf.
"Kyle's the future of the game in this country," said Murray. "It's important that he's given time to develop at his own rate and not too much pressure is put on him.
"He's doing great, he's improving every year and he's got a really good team behind him.
"If he's given time and a little bit of space to keep developing and not too much pressure on the results at this stage, he can go very far."

Question: The Brazilian government is offering federal police officers a 15.8% pay rise to avert a strike during the forthcoming football World Cup.

represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

Under the deal, federal police agents will receive a 12% salary increase from July, and another 3.8% rise in January.
The agreement follows police strikes earlier this year in which an estimated 250,000 agents took part.
Preparations for the World Cup - which starts on 12 June - have been beset by anti-government protests and stoppages.
Brazil's federal police, which conducts criminal investigations and combats drug trafficking and terrorism, is also in charge of security at the country's borders and airports.
The trade union representing federal officers, Fenapef, welcomed the offer and said it had suspended its planned strike action "before, during and after the Cup and before the [general] election" on 5 October 2014.
Fenapef President Jones Borges Leal said the government had also agreed to set up a working group to discuss officers' career progression, another key demand.
The salary increase will also apply to typists and forensic teams, union officials said.
Last month state police forces went on strike over pay in at least 14 Brazilian states, and there have also been stoppages by teachers and civil servants.
The government has boosted security in all of the 12 host venues, with up to 20,000 security personnel deployed to Rio de Janeiro to guarantee safety during the World Cup final on 13 July.
The government is keen to prevent a repeat of the mass protests held during the Confederations Cup last year, many of which descended into violence.
More than a million people took to the streets at the time protesting against corruption and what they considered to be excessive spending on the preparations for the World Cup.

They were not members of so-called Islamic State but had tried to make contact with the group, officials said.
The justice minister said the group was in the planning stage of an attack and police acted as a preventative measure.
Alexandre Moraes described the cell as "absolute amateurs" and "ill-prepared" to launch an attack.
All those arrested were Brazilian and two more suspects were being sought, he said.
They were detained across 10 different states, and had been in contact via messaging services such as Whatsapp.
Group members had attempted to contact a weapons supplier in neighbouring Paraguay to get AK 47 assault rifles, but there was no evidence of any being bought.

There have been fears over Rio's readiness because of building delays, the Zika virus and political crises.
Mr Moraes told a news conference there was a "minimal probability of a terrorist act during the Rio Olympics."

Question: A Hull man is the ninth person to have been jailed over a conspiracy to sail Â£160m worth of cocaine into the UK on a yacht.

Wayne Bush, 45, was jailed for six years at Leeds Crown Court consecutive to a sentence he is currently serving at HMP Humber.
The yacht Makayabella was intercepted by the Irish Navy on the south-west coast of Ireland in September 2014.
Eight people have already been jailed in connection with the drugs plot.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said over a tonne of cocaine on the yacht would have had a potential street value above Â£160m had it been sold in the UK.
Bush was part of a three man "coopering crew" due to sail out and meet the Makayabella to bring back the drugs, the NCA said.
An earlier attempt to meet the boat had failed after running out of fuel. Three men on board, including ringleader Stephen Powell, were towed back to port.
Two days later Powell, with James Hill, met Bush to buy another boat at a marina in Milford Haven, south Wales but they were unsuccessful.
Bush, formerly of Ormonde Avenue, Hull, was arrested by the NCA for conspiring to import class A drugs in connection with the Makayabella plot in June at HMP Humber, where is serving a three-and-a-half year sentence for an unrelated offence.
David Norris, NCA regional commander, said the operation had drawn on support from law enforcement partners in France, Ireland and Venezuela.
"Wayne Bush played an important role in this conspiracy," he said. "Bush was to have formed part of the crew who landed this huge haul of drugs in the UK after the crime group transported them across the Atlantic."
The eight already jailed are Stephen Powell, James Hill, Philip McElhone, David Webster and Dawne Powell, Stephen Powell's wife.
Three men on the boat when it was stopped were prosecuted by the Irish authorities; Stephen Powell's father John, Benjamin Mellor and Thomas Britteon.

Dutch pilot Niels Wartenbergh, 28, flew the rented aircraft into Redhill Aerodrome on 21 April with 27-year-old passenger Ricardo Vorstenbosch.
Beforehand it slipped under the radar to drop the drugs in Kent where they were picked up by courier Joseph Peel, 39, Croydon Crown Court heard.
All three pleaded guilty to conspiring to import class A drugs.
Wartenbergh and fellow Dutch national Vorstenbosch were each jailed for 18 years and Peel, from North Kensington in north-west London, for 16 years.
The court was told the helicopter was being tracked as part of an investigation involving the National Crime Agency (NCA), Metropolitan Police, Border Force, and the Dutch and Belgian authorities.
The NCA said Wartenbergh and Vorstenbosch were arrested shortly after they landed at Redhill.
Meanwhile Peel was making a 100mph getaway on the M20 in a hired BMW from the drop at Yalding.
He was stopped and arrested by the Metropolitan Police after he suddenly pulled on to the London-bound M26.
They found six holdalls in the boot containing 43kg (95lb) of cocaine and 60kg (132lb) of heroin with a street value of £12m, along with more than 30 encrypted mobile phones.
Later the same day Dutch police searched Vorstenbosch's home in Eindhoven and uncovered another 3kg (7lb) of cocaine, a drug press, vacuum-packing machines and a gun.
Gary Fennelly, head of the NCA's team at Gatwick, said it was targeting criminals who tried to use small airfields as a way into the UK.
"In addition to recovering over 100kg of class A drugs, the operation prevented crime on a much wider scale by denying the sale of drugs worth millions to the crime group."

Question: A new £10m Pembrokeshire lifeboat station has launched its first vessel.

The old Tyne class lifeboat Garside launched simultaneously with the new £2.7m Tamar class Norah Wortley from St Davids.
The new station was carved out of the cliff face in a massive engineering project - after the new lifeboat was too large to fit in the old station.
It was also the final time a lifeboat launched from the 104-year-old St Davids station in St Justinian's.
The old Garside lifeboat has launched 343 times to emergencies in 28 years service and has saved 79 lives and rescued 35 people.
The remote location of the new station posed a construction challenge with most building materials arriving by sea with works constructed using a large barge.
Former Wales international footballer Ian Walsh, raised in nearby Solva, and ex-Wales rugby star Gerald Davies led a community appeal that raised £214,000 towards the costs of the project, including a £80,000 bequest from the sister of late lifeboat captain Bleddyn James.
The new 25-knot lifeboat for the St Davids RNLI, which was founded in 1869, is designed to reduce the impact on the crew as it crashes through waves.

The RNLB Norah Wortley, which was funded by a bequest, is designed so that the impact on the crew is reduced as it crashes through waves.
It is one of four new RNLI lifeboats in Wales, with the others at Porthdinllaen, Moelfre and Mumbles.
"Bringing the new lifeboat home to St Davids for the very first time will be an incredibly proud moment for me," said St David's RNLI coxswain Dai John.
Source: RNLI
"This is a fantastic boat and I have every confidence that she will serve us well and help us to save more lives off the Pembroke coast."
The boat will arrive later on Monday, and has been funded through the donation of Diane Mary Symon, who died in 2010, when she was living in Newton Abbot, Devon. It will be dedicated to a member of her family at a naming ceremony at a later date.
Mr John said the new boat was designed to be safer and was also faster than the old boat.
The volunteer crew travelled to Poole to undertake familiarisation training at the charity's RNLI college to get to grips with the new vessel.
The new Tamar class will replace the Tyne class lifeboat Garside, which began service at St Davids in 1988.
The Garside was launched 329 times, saved 79 lives and rescued 339 people.
Planning permission is being sought to build a new boathouse for the new lifeboat at a site in St Justinian, near St Davids.

Question: Funerals have taken place in Baghdad for two people killed when protesters stormed the city's fortified government district, the Green Zone on Friday.

At least 60 people were injured when Iraqi troops drove back thousands of mainly Shia Muslims protesting against corruption and security failures.
Soldiers fired real and rubber bullets at the protesters, as well as tear gas.
Some reports, citing hospital sources, said four people had been killed and 90 injured in the clashes.
On Saturday two coffins draped in flags were driven through part of the city, flanked by mourners.
Iraqi President Fuad Masum called on protesters to "abide by the law and apply self-restraint".
In a statement published on the presidency website, Mr Masum said violent rallies would distract security forces from preventing terror attacks.
It was the second time this month that protesters managed to break into the city's government area.
Shia Muslim cleric Moqtada Sadr condemned the use of force by the police, and voiced support for the demonstrators' "peaceful [and] spontaneous revolt".
The protesters accuse the government of neglecting much needed reforms, as it struggles with its campaign against the so-called Islamic State group (IS) and declining oil revenues.
The Sunni jihadist group controls parts of western and northern Iraq and has been behind a wave of recent attacks that have left dozens killed.
Some demonstrators managed to break into the prime minister's office and parliament.
Baghdad's Green Zone houses the parliament, key government buildings and many foreign embassies.
The authorities later said they had completely regained control of the area and the protesters had withdrawn.
The Shia cleric and his militia group, the Mehdi Army, gained prominence after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. galvanising anti-US sentiment.
Mr Sadr's followers clashed repeatedly with US forces, whose withdrawal the cleric consistently demanded.
An arrest warrant was issued for Mr Sadr in 2004 in connection with the murder of a rival cleric.
His militia was also blamed for the torture and killing of thousands of Sunnis in the sectarian carnage of 2006 and 2007. Mr Sadr fled to Iran during that period.
In 2011, Mr Sadr returned from his self-imposed exile to Iraq, taking a more conciliatory tone and calling for Iraqi unity and peace.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who came to power in 2014, has promised to stamp out corruption and ease sectarian tensions.
He has been pressing for radical reforms and wants to form a government of technocrats, but has been blocked by lawmakers, the BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad reports.
Parliament is so deeply split that it cannot hold a meeting because no side can achieve a quorum, our correspondent adds.
Iraq's system of sharing government jobs has long been criticised for promoting unqualified candidates and encouraging corruption.

A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle in Sadr City, targeting a busy street full of garages and used-car dealers.
At least 42 people were also wounded in the attack, which was claimed by the Islamic State group.
Baghdad saw a wave of deadly suicide attacks in the first few days of 2017, but the number has dropped recently.
The IS group has stepped up its attacks since the Iraqi army, aided by US-led coalition strikes, launched its campaign to dislodge the group from its stronghold of Mosul in the north four months ago.
Wednesday's attack targeted the Habibya area of Sadr City, north of the centre of the Iraqi capital, an interior ministry official told AFP.
The blast follows a car bomb attack in southern Baghdad on Tuesday that killed four people.
On 2 January, 35 people were killed in a bomb blast in Sadr City, in an attack claimed by IS.
Iraq's capital has also been hit by violent protests in recent days by supporters of Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who are demanding changes to the electoral commission that oversees elections.
At least six people were killed in clashes with police on Sunday.

Question: Ticket prices for international fans attending the football World Cup in Brazil will start at $90 (£59, 69 euros) for initial group matches.

Football's governing body Fifa announced that the cheapest ticket for overseas fans for the final on 13 July was $440 (£288) and the most expensive $990 (£650).
The tournament starts on 12 June next year, with the first game being played in Sao Paulo.
Tickets will go on sale from 20 August.
Fans have until 10 October to apply and a ballot will be held to decide which of these applications are successful.
Only later will tickets be sold on a first come, first served basis.
In total about three million tickets will be available for fans.
For Brazilian nationals the cheapest tickets start at $15. These are only available for students, those aged over 60 and people on social welfare programmes. For other Brazilians tickets start at $30.
The lowest price paid for a ticket in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was $20, also for group stage matches in the special category set aside exclusively for residents.
The governing body had previously said that tickets in Brazil would be the "cheapest ever".
The Fifa ticket website will include a map of the ground that shows the location of different categories of tickets.
This meant there would be "no surprises" over where fans would end up sitting, said Fifa marketing director Thierry Weil, who is in charge of ticketing strategy.
Supporters can request a maximum of four seats per match, and for a maximum of seven matches.
He said there would be a reselling system run by Fifa, if people were unable to attend games for which they had bought tickets.
At least 400,000 tickets will be reserved exclusively for residents of Brazil, with about 50,000 for construction workers who were involved in building and upgrading the grounds for the tournament.

The initial allocation of 25,000 has been increased to 29,058 for the games against Poland, Ukraine and Germany.
An extra 816 tickets are available for the game against Poland on 12 June.
An additional 1,726 fans will be able to attend the Ukraine game on 16 June with the total for the Germany game on 21 June jumping from 8,000 to 9,516.
The Irish Football Association received over 50,000 ticket applications for Northern Ireland's matches at the tournament.
Supporters will find out by the end of February whether their applications have been successful, with priority to be given to those who attended games during qualification.
The smallest increase in tickets being made available is for the opening fixture against Poland in Nice, with the allocation rising from 6,000 to 6,816.
On Tuesday the Republic of Ireland were given more than 6,500 more tickets for Euro 2016 after talks between the Football Association of Ireland and Uefa.
Republic fans now have a total ticket allocation of 32,502 for their games against Sweden, Italy and Belgium.

Question: US transport safety officials have proposed guidelines to limit driver distraction from gadgets built into cars.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article.

The planned voluntary rules would cover "integrated electronic devices, including mobile phones".
Officials want distracting functions to be disabled when driving.
In 2010, US figures suggested that "distraction by a device or control integral to the vehicle was reported in 26,000 crashes".
Thenew proposals include goals to reduce the amountof inputs required to operate a device - the number of buttons to push - and reducing unnecessary visual information.
There are also guidelines requiring one-handed operation and a two second limit on "off-road glances" - the time spent looking at the device.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also wants built-in gadgets the driver can use to turn-off non-essential functions while the car is moving, and keep them disabled until the car is parked.
In particular they want to prevent manual texting, use of the internet/social media, entering addresses into sat navs and dialling long phone numbers.
Displaying more than 30 characters of text not related to driving should also be prevented, it says.
Electronic warning systems would be exempt from the rules, the NHTSA said.
The first phase of the plans only apply to built-in devices.
However, the NHTSA said that in later phases it might issue further guidelines on the use of "devices or systems that are not built into the vehicle but are brought into the vehicle and used while driving".
This could include "navigation systems, smartphones, electronic tablets and pads, and other mobile communications devices".
Official figures suggested that in 2010 electronic devices were involved in 47,000 distraction-related crashes.
NHTSA administrator David Strickland said consumers wanted more "tools and conveniences" but said the guidelines would help carmakers "develop electronic devices that provide features consumers want - without disrupting a driver's attention or sacrificing safety".
The NHTSA is currently consulting on the first phase of the proposals.

However, the cautious recommendations from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will, initially at least, insist on a fully licensed driver being behind the wheel, ready to take over in an emergency or if the technology fails.
California has been the testing ground for most of the development, and so regulations in the state are considered to be precedent-setting.
Prospective users of self-driving cars will need to undergo special training, and manufacturers would be required to monitor the cars' use.
Answering a common query, regulators said any traffic violations or accidents would remain the responsibility of the human driver.
Many firms are investing heavily in researching and creating self-driving vehicles, such as Ford, Uber and Tesla.
Google, which leads the research field, has made a self-driving car without any controls such as steering wheels or pedals.
But the DMV's proposals would mean such vehicles would not, for the foreseeable future at least, be made available for consumers.
A statement from the DMV read: "Given the potential risks associated with deployment of such a new technology, DMV believes that manufacturers need to obtain more experience in testing driverless vehicles on public roads prior to making this technology available to the general public."
Instead, any car offering self-driving capability must also be fitted with traditional controls - such as the adapted Lexus Google has been testing on roads already.
This slightly dampens hopes that self-driving technology would enable those who are currently unable to drive - such as people with disabilities - to get on the roads.
However, the DMV said it would reassess the safety of fully-autonomous vehicles in the future.
A public consultation on the draft will take place in the new year.
The draft also adds requirements for manufacturers to ensure that vehicles are protected from cyber attacks.

Question: A Kent council claims it is being "forced into a corner" as proposed cuts to government grants could leave a shortfall of more than £500,000.

Thanet District Council said it was considering a 2% rise in the authority's part of the council tax.
Councillor Rick Everitt, cabinet member for finance, said the council had seen a 28% reduction in government funding over the past two years.
"Further cuts to the council purse are really unwelcome," he said.
The council said figures from the Department of Communities and Local Government showed the council was likely to be left short of £580,000 for the next financial year.
Mr Everitt said: "Having already suffered a reduction of 28% in government funding over the past two years, resources are stretched to the absolute limit.
"This additional reduction of over half a million pounds has forced us into a corner."
From Monday, the council will be asking for residents' views on which services should be a priority.
The council said final figures were expected in December and would be debated at a meeting in January.

Households in Bristol will pay 3.95% - in Bath and North East Somerset a rise of 3.25% was agreed while in North Somerset bills will go up by 3.74%.
The new 2% adult social care charge was announced in the government's autumn statement in November 2015.
It is similar to the Police and Fire Authority in that it is designed to be spent of a specific local service.
Included in Bristol City Council's budget is £56m earmarked for capital investment in new and existing council housing and a one-off payment of £500,000 towards the planned Bristol Aerospace Centre, documenting the city's central role in the development of the modern aviation industry.
North Somerset's decision to put up council tax is only the second time the council has agreed to do so in the past six years.
Council leader Nigel Ashton said it was "very much a last resort, but it is a road we have been forced down".
It means the average Band D council tax bill will be £1,208.40 - an increase of less than £1 a week.
In Banes councillors agreed to find £150,000 to upgrade and improve children's play areas and £85,000 to tackle the area's gull problems.
The budget has made £10m of savings - almost a quarter of the £43m needed over the next four years.

Question: The family of a teacher found dead on an Indian Ocean island say they are "in a nightmare" after being told the trial of four men accused of murdering him will not be held until next year.

Carl Davies, 33, from Kent, died on Reunion Island in November 2011.
The death was initially treated as an accident, but a murder investigation was started 10 days later.
His sister Kerrie Stewart said the family had been told the trial should start by the end of next June.
"We live in a nightmare that is never ending," Ms Stewart said.
"You want to wake up some days and say 'get me off, I've had enough'.
"I'd like to wake up one day and feel normal and that's not something that any of us have been able to do."
She said the trial would help the family rebuild their lives around her brother's memory.
Mr Davies, a former marine, is believed to have arrived on the French-governed island on 7 November 2011.
His body was discovered two days later and a murder investigation started on 19 November.

Scarlett Keeling, 15, from Bideford, Devon, was found dead on Anjuna beach in Goa in February 2008.
Her body had been held in Exeter by the Greater Devon coroner because of the ongoing trial of two men charged over her death.
But, in April, the Goan authorities gave permission for the body to be released to Scarlett's family.
Scarlett was buried in a garden prepared for her on the family's smallholding in a simple ceremony, attended by friends and family on Friday afternoon.
Her body was carried to its resting place by her father, brother and friends.
Some of her poems were read out as tributes.
Talking to BBC News in January last year, her mother, Fiona MacKeown, said burying her daughter would finally give the family a sense of closure.
Ms MacKeown said she hoped the funeral would put an end to the nightmares and sleeplessness which continued to affect Scarlett's siblings.
After the ceremony on Friday, Ms MacKeown said it was a relief that the burial could be carried out and it was "lovely to have her here".
She said: "We've waited to all this time to get her back.
"Everybody's been working like ants on her garden, getting it ready for her to come home."
Scarlett would have celebrated her 20th birthday on Sunday.
Her family and friends said they would use the weekend to celebrate her birthday and her life.
Scarlett was on a six-month "trip of a lifetime" with her family when she was killed.
Ms MacKeown had allowed her to stay in Anjuna in the care of a 25-year-old tour guide while the rest of the family went travelling - a decision Ms MacKeown said she "bitterly regretted" with hindsight.
"I was wrong to leave her, but at the time obviously I didn't think so - I thought she was going to be safe."
When Scarlett's body was found, police initially said her death had been an accidental drowning.
However, a second post-mortem examination - held at the insistence of Ms MacKeown - found she had been drugged, raped and killed.
India's Central Bureau of Investigation started a fresh investigation which led to the arrest of two men.

Question: European commentators see the UK general election as a Conservative power grab - and see little opposition to Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit agenda.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

Most see the Conservative manifesto as a play for Labour's traditional voters, in rejecting Margaret Thatcher's free-market legacy. But there are also warnings against adopting a hard line in the Brexit negotiations.
Labour's manifesto is generally criticised as a throwback to the 1970s. And there is some admiration for the Liberal Democrats' commitment to a second Brexit referendum.
"Theresa May shakes off Thatcher's legacy", declares Philippe Bernard, London correspondent of France's centre-left Le Monde.
He says the prime minister sees the result of the Brexit referendum as a "call to protect voters" from the forces of globalisation, not an invitation for further deregulation. So she has "firmly repositioned the Tories as the party of 'ordinary workers', able to redistribute wealth through the levers of the state".
Mrs May is so confident of victory that she feels able to disregard her traditional Tory constituency in a bid to "smother Labour", he says.
The centre-right French daily Le Figaro promotes its article on the Conservative manifesto on its front page, to explain "how Theresa May managed to disarm her opponents".
Its London correspondent Florentin Collomp says Mrs May is "treating the election as another Brexit referendum", and deliberately chose to launch the manifesto in "Labour's heartland" constituency of Halifax, which voted heavily to leave the European Union.
He describes her as a "secretive and authoritarian leader… at the peak of her power, who has crushed the opposition to left and right, as well as in her own party".
Christian Zaschke for Munich's centre-left Süddeutsche Zeitung also gives an unsympathetic profile of Mrs May as an "Ice Queen… who has mastered the art of cold revenge, and relentlessly repeats her 'strong and stable' message".
Marcus Theurer of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung sees Mrs May campaigning on a "hard Brexit" platform, and notes that she "does not hesitate to stray from the basic Conservative free-market line that has endured for decades".
But he thinks her "no deal is better than a bad deal" line on Brexit "could reduce the scope for compromises in the complicated negotiations with the European Union".
Stefanie Bolzen of the centre-right Die Welt says Mrs May is trying to "put foreigners off Britain" by doubling fees to hire foreign staff and increase the costs of accessing healthcare.
She also sees trouble ahead in the Brexit negotiations. "It doesn't matter how big May's majority is, as the 27 EU states have already made their conditions clear", and these include free movement of labour.
Denmark's centre-left Politiken is no more optimistic about Mrs May's pledges to balance the budget either. It warns that she will face the "post-election task of keeping track of the British economy, at the same time as having to conduct the complicated Brexit negotiations".
Labour's manifesto is generally seen as the most left-wing in decades, whose appeal is unlikely to extend beyond leader Jeremy Corbyn's base of loyal supporters.
In Le Monde, Aymeric Janier says Labour's "desire to provide protection from cradle to grave" will have some appeal, but is unlikely to galvanise the wider electorate.
Celia Maza, the London correspondent of Spain's right-wing La Razon, says the manifesto's soft line on immigration leaves it "far removed both from middle-ground voters and traditional, Eurosceptic Labour supporters".
The Greek centre-left paper I Efimerida ton Syntakton is more sympathetic. It says the manifesto "returns Labour to its socialist roots".
Enrico Franceschini of Italy's La Repubblica dubs Mr Corbyn a "latter-day Robin Hood", but the Labour leader is more frequently compared to another figure - one of his ill-fated predecessors, Michael Foot.
Conxa Rodriguez in Spain's centre-right El Mundo alludes to Labour's electoral mauling at the hands of the Conservatives under Mr Foot, saying Jeremy Corbyn's policies "prompted his opponents to recall Gerald Kaufman's indictment of the 1983 manifesto as the 'longest suicide note in history'."
The Liberal Democrats promise to hold a referendum on the UK's final deal with the EU was their most interesting policy for European commentators.
The correspondent of Spain's centre-right ABC, Luis Ventoso, says the pledge is delivering only a "slight rise in the poll rating of the only party that openly flies the European flag".
This direct bid for the pro-EU vote is reaping such meagre rewards because "many centre and centre-left voters still don't forgive the Liberal Democrats for joining the 2010-2015 coalition with the Conservatives," he says.
Mr Ventoso thinks party leader Tim Farron may be "more down-to-earth than his predecessor Nick Clegg", but also comes across as "less intellectually sophisticated", and has had to field "criticism from the left-wing press about his views on abortion and homosexuality".
Eva Ladipo of Die Welt expresses admiration for Mr Farron's "extraordinary enthusiasm" for the EU. But she doubts whether this will be enough to take the party into double figures in the election.

Politicians across the Continent have been questioning the impact on the Brexit talks.
Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the European Commission, said he wanted discussions to proceed without delay.
"As far as the Commission is concerned we can open negotiations tomorrow morning at half past nine," he said.
"First we have to agree on the divorce and exit modalities, and then we have to envisage the architecture of our future relations. I do hope that the result of the elections will have no major impact on the negotiations we are desperately waiting for."
Sweden's former Prime Minister Carl Bildt, who now chairs the European Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, called the outcome "messy".
"One mess risks following another. Price to be paid for lack of true leadership," he tweeted.
Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt, who is president of the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament, had caustic words for Mrs May.
"Yet another own goal, after Cameron now May, will make already complex negotiations even more complicated," he tweeted.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator for Brexit, had a more conciliatory message. "#Brexit negotiations should start when UK is ready; timetable and EU positions are clear. Let's put our minds together on striking a deal," he said.
European Council President Donald Tusk alluded to the March 2019 deadline for Brexit talks.
"We don't know when Brexit talks start. We know when they must end. Do your best to avoid a 'no deal' as result of 'no negotiations'," he wrote.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said it was uncertain when Britain would have a clear Brexit strategy.
"One year after their referendum, we still don't know the British position in the negotiations on Brexit and it seems difficult to predict when we will, because democracy often requires time," she observed.
A spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government would not comment on the election result out of "politeness and respect" while the process of forming a new government was ongoing.
Meanwhile Irish Prime Minister-elect Leo Varadkar was positive about the outcome.
"The results of the UK election indicate to me that there is no strong mandate to proceed with a hard Brexit, which represents an opportunity for Ireland," he said.
He also described the result as an opportunity to re-engage in talks to restore Northern Ireland's devolved power-sharing administration, which collapsed in January.
Mrs May is expected to form a government with the backing of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists.
European newspapers have been focusing on the uncertainty about Mrs May's future and the anger among Britain's voters.
In the first official comment by the White House, President Trump said the result was "surprising", but offered no further insight.
The Washington Post newspaper noted the unpredictable nature of recent British politics.
"The results mark the second time in as many years that the British body politic has defied predictions, scrambled the country's direction and bucked the will of a prime minister who had gambled by calling a vote when none had been required," it said.
"But unlike last year's EU referendum - which delivered a clear if close verdict to get out of the bloc - the will of the voters who cast ballots Thursday was not nearly as easy to decipher."
Looking east from London, the Chinese press offered largely factual reports, with little comment except to say the result would have a "huge" impact on Brexit discussions.
In Hong Kong, independent outlets said the Tories had made a "grave miscalculation".
Shi Zhiqin, a professor from Tsinghua University in Beijing, said China might no longer see the need to keep Britain as a strong ally in the EU.
"But I think Britain's main concern is to keep China as a trade partner after it lost the EU market," he told the South China Morning Post.
In Russia, state-owned news agency RIA Novosti is claiming the Conservatives will not forgive Theresa May for the result, and predicts a new prime minister.
On the morning of 9 June, state-run rolling news channel Rossiya 24 called it "Theresa May's devastating defeat."
A correspondent for Qatar-funded Al Jazeera TV, which ran a special segment on the polls, said the opposition Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn had led a "fierce campaign that the Conservative Party did not expect".
The results were covered prominently on some Lebanese newspaper websites, with the front page of left-wing Al Akhbar newspaper reading: "Britain: Corbyn brings down the hopes of the Conservatives."
In India, newspapers are taking an interest in Preet Gill, who has become the UK's first Sikh woman MP, and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, the first turban-wearing Sikh winner.
Indian headlines also concluded that the result was a setback for Theresa May, with the Hindustan Times calling it a "stunning blow" for the prime minister.
Labour boosted its number of seats by 29 overnight, exciting Corbyn supporters abroad.
US Senator Bernie Sanders, the former Democratic presidential candidate, told the Washington Post he was thrilled.
"I am delighted to see Labour do so well. All over the world people are rising up against austerity and massive levels of income and wealth inequality.
"People in the UK, the US and elsewhere want governments that represent all the people, not just the 1%. I congratulate Jeremy Corbyn for running a very positive and effective campaign."
Bill Shorten, leader of the Australian Labor Party, made similar observations, telling reporters:
"One of the things which my counterpart, the Labour leader in the United Kingdom, did is he campaigned and his slogan was 'For the many, not the few.'
"I think Mr Turnbull [Australia's prime minister] would be well advised to look at the popularity of that message."
