Question: An aid flight with medical supplies for Yemen has been held back because of logistical problems, as violence in the country continues.

Saudi air strikes have been targeting Houthi rebels for almost two weeks.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was given permission by a Saudi-led coalition to land planes carrying staff and medical supplies.
The passenger plane landed safely on Monday but the supply flight has been unable to depart.
ICRC spokeswoman Sitara Jabeen says they had been unable to find a cargo plane to take their 48 tonnes of medical supplies into the country.
"Less and less airlines are either allowed, or able, or willing, to fly to Yemen," she said.
Ms Jabeen added that the country's security situation made finding a solution "extremely difficult" but that they were working to sort out the logistics.

The Red Cross is also trying to deploy a team of surgeons to the battle-torn city of Aden, but said that "authorisations from all the parties involved" were necessary before this could happen.
The ICRC spent a week negotiating with the Saudi-led coalition over deliveries of supplies.
It has called for a 24-hour ceasefire in Aden, while Russia has also urged the UN Security Council to support a "humanitarian pause" in the air strikes.
Explosions on Monday shook homes in the suburbs of Aden, one of President Hadi's last strongholds.
At least 53 people died in 24 hours of clashes between rebels and pro-government fighters, AFP reports.
Food, water and electricity shortages have also mounted, with residents pleading for help to feed their families.
Student Nisman Usman said: "We have lived three days of horrors - gunshots everywhere."
Arab views of the fight for Aden range from pro-Saudi optimism to fears of other players being dragged in.
Saudi and Gulf media report that the "shell-shocked" Houthis are seeking ceasefire talks in the face of the Saudi aerial bombardment. Bahrain's Akhbar al-Khalij daily and the Emirates' Al-Bayan accuse the Houthis of "indiscriminate shelling" of Aden residential areas.
But Arab papers elsewhere are less sanguine. Jordan's al-Ghad and Lebanon's leftist al-Safir say the Saudis have failed to halt the Houthis' advance on Aden, a development that pro-Saudi media ignore.
Pan-Arab TV channels report the fighting could draw in other players from Pakistan to Iraqi Shia militias.
Iranian media maintain their anti-Saudi stance, with official TV channels highlighting the civilian casualties of Saudi air raids and protests in various countries against Saudi policy.
A political consultant in Sanaa, Hisham al-Omeisy, told the BBC that he was sceptical that the Red Cross aid flight would go ahead.
"The Saudi coalition announced this several times before, that they will allow the ICRC to come into the airport but that hasn't actually taken place," he said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's parliament is holding a special session to debate whether to join the Saudis and their allies.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, said the Saudis had asked for warships, aircraft and soldiers.
Pakistani aircraft rescued 170 people from Sanaa on Sunday. Countries including China and Egypt are planning evacuation flights, while Russia and India have already airlifted many of their nationals out of the country.
President Hadi was forced to flee Yemen two weeks ago, as the rebels advanced on Aden.
The Houthis have said their aim is to replace his government, which they accuse of being corrupt.
They are supported by troops loyal to the former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was ousted in the Arab Spring protests.
Saudi Arabia says the Houthis have military backing from regional rival Iran, which denies the allegation.

Witnesses told the Reuters news agency the boat was struck by shells fired by Houthi rebels as it left the al-Tawahi district for al-Buraiqa in the west.
The Houthis have been battling southern militiamen for control of al-Tawahi.
Earlier, rebel sources said at least 34 civilians were killed in Saudi-led coalition air strikes in north Yemen.
Warplanes reportedly targeted more than 30 locations in the provinces of Saada and Hajjah.
The coalition had vowed to respond to a cross-border attack on the Saudi border town of Najran on Tuesday, which left three people dead.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concern about the worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen, as 22 international aid agencies warned that fuel shortages might halt their work.
In Aden, there was fierce fighting overnight between militiamen loyal to exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and Houthi fighters, backed by allied security personnel.
Residents and militiamen told Reuters that at least 40 people were killed as a rebel offensive on al-Tawahi was repelled with the help of Saudi-led air strikes.
Among the fatalities was Gen Ali Nasser Hadi, who was appointed in March by the president to lead loyalist forces in the southern provinces of Aden, Abyan and Lahj.
It was later on Wednesday that a barge carrying people trying to flee the fighting in al-Tawahi was hit by shells as it left a small fishing harbour in the Gulf of Aden.
Medics and witnesses said Houthis fired the shells, and the pro-Hadi Popular Resistance Committees accused the rebels of a "massacre".
The coalition air campaign, which seeks to restore Mr Hadi's "legitimate government", has so far failed to stop the Houthis' assault on Aden.
The president took refuge in city in February after fleeing the capital, Sanaa, where he had been held under house arrest by the rebels. When the Houthis reached the outskirts of Aden at the end of March, he left the country for Saudi Arabia.
Since then, at least 646 civilians have been killed, according to the UN.
The latest fighting comes ahead of a visit to Riyadh by the US secretary of state.
Mr Kerry told a news conference in Djibouti that he would discuss ways to implement a "humanitarian pause" in Yemen to allow deliveries of aid.
On Wednesday morning, a joint statement by 22 aid agencies called for an immediate end to the conflict and warned that their work risked coming to an abrupt end within a week unless land, sea and air routes to Yemen were opened immediately for the importation of fuel.
The fuel shortage has meant entire communities have no access to clean water, while medical facilities have been forced to close or halt even basic services.
"Millions of lives are at risk, in particular children, and soon we will not be able to respond," said Edward Santiago, country director for Save the Children.
The lack of fuel is also hindering food deliveries in a country where about 20 million people, or 80% of the population, are estimated to be going hungry.

Question: Matt Godden hit a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Stevenage came from behind to clinch victory at Crawley.

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

Leading scorer James Collins put Crawley on course for a fifth successive home win with a first-half penalty, his 14th league goal of the season.
But Godden levelled in the 76th minute and then pounced to settle the issue with his second goal in the fifth minute of added time.
Crawley, who have scored in every home game bar one this season, had an early let-off when goalkeeper Glenn Morris saved at the feet of the on-rushing Ben Kennedy.
The hosts broke the deadlock after 28 minutes when Collins scored for the sixth home game, converting from the penalty spot after being brought down by Luke Wilkinson.
Godden put the ball over from a good position for Stevenage before Dean Cox fired wide for the hosts, and Kennedy was again denied by Morris after Godden seized on a defensive lapse by Joe McNerney.
Crawley forward Enzio Boldewijn should have tested keeper Jamie Jones after 63 minutes but fired over following a cross from Cox.
Stevenage midfielder Tom Pett threatened to bring his side level following a strong run, but his low shot was parried by Morris.
Boro levelled through a close-range shot from Godden after a deflected effort by substitute Josh McQuoid, and his 13th league goal of the season snatched all three points.

Question: Pep Guardiola says he is looking forward to a "special" first FA Cup game in charge of Manchester City in their third-round tie at West Ham.

Media playback is not supported on this device
City face the Hammers at London Stadium on Friday night, live on BBC One.
"The cup is special because the lower team can beat the big teams, which is why it is fascinating," said Guardiola.
"I'm looking forward to it, but of course it's a Premier League game so it will be tough. We were unlucky in the draw."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said the tie is a "big game" for both sides and the fans.
"They will put out a very strong team because it is a big chance for them to get a trophy," he added.
The game at London Stadium is the first of 32 third-round ties across four days this weekend.
BBC One also has live coverage of Tottenham v Aston Villa on Sunday (16:00 GMT) while 5 live Sport's Mark Chapman presents Saturday's show from Sutton United ahead of their tie with AFC Wimbledon.
City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was uncertain in the air in the 2-1 win over Burnley on Monday, failing to deal with a corner that led to Ben Mee's goal for the visitors.
It was the latest in a series of mistakes by Bravo, but Guardiola said the Chilean - who could come up against West Ham's powerful striker Andy Carroll on Friday - is adapting to the physical nature of English football.
"I see many goalkeepers who had the same problems as Claudio with these balls and when they fight for them, it's not only Claudio Bravo," said the Spaniard.
"He's intelligent enough, he has experience enough, he was nominated one of the five best keepers in the world, he has experience in Europe, all around the world, in South America, where the intensity of the games is so tough.
"He realised immediately with these sort of balls into the box he had to be careful because it's special.
"It's not necessary to read the newspapers or the comments of the coach saying, 'Go there, be careful here, it's quite different'. He realised already."
Guardiola also insisted he is not ready to quit management, after he had said he was "arriving at the end" of his career following the Burnley match - when he also gave a testy post-match interview to BBC Sport.
When asked about Guardiola's conduct, Bilic said: "I saw his interview but maybe he was just tired after a couple of games in three days.
"Maybe after the great start they made some fans or pundits expected them to cruise in the league, especially with Guardiola.
"But it is never easy in any league, especially here. They are not struggling but for their standards, to be however many points from the top is probably not what they expected.
"He's never worked in a smaller club, he's never fought against relegation or mid-table or anything different than 'we have to win the league'.
"Is it Barcelona, is it Bayern, is it Man City? It's the same. He knew the intensity of the English league, he was well prepared for a difficult season. He didn't expect anything less than he is getting or has faced so far."

Guardiola has said he will play a full-strength side on Friday, while midfielder Soufiane Feghouli is available for West Ham after his red card against Manchester United on Saturday was rescinded.
Bilic also confirmed on-loan striker Simone Zaza will not play for West Ham again to avoid having to pay a £17.1m permanent-deal fee to parent club Juventus, which would have been triggered after 15 first-team appearances.
Zaza was signed on a season-long loan in August for a initial fee of £4.2m but has not scored in the 11 games he has featured in and has not played in the league since November.

"He is still our player until he goes somewhere but mainly because of the situation with his contract he is finished here," said Bilic.
"Unfortunately we had to judge him on six, seven, eight games which is not a big pattern to judge a player in general.
"He is definitely a good player but like many times in football, it just didn't happen."

Question: Plans for a new 10,000-capacity Castleford Tigers stadium have been unveiled as part of a £135m scheme that developers say could create 2,000 jobs.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Lateral Property Group has announced plans to develop land near Junction 32 of the M62, at Glasshoughton, West Yorkshire.
The plans also include a retail centre and 50-acre country park.
Tigers chairman Jack Fulton said it was an "exciting opportunity" to get a home "fit for the 21st Century".
Lateral Property Group (LPG) said it was in talks with Wakefield Council about the proposal and, subject to planning approval, construction work could begin in 2015 with the new stadium ready for the 2017 season.
LPG managing director Philip Lunn said: "We estimate that around 2,000 jobs will be created at the site, along with another 680 during construction.
"Overall, the development will see around £135 million being invested into the local community."
He said details of a public consultation would be announced "shortly".
In 2010 Castleford Tigers secured land for a new stadium but in 2012 the supermarket firm which was set to buy its ground put the move on hold.
Mr Fulton said: "A new stadium will provide the foundations of a bright new future for the club and much needed facilities for the wider Castleford community."

The "Bigfoot" sighting happened last Friday in the Appalachian mountains, but the story took an even weirder twist with a mistaken identity claim.
Gawain MacGregor says it was him wandering through the forest on the night in question, 4 August.
But a local group claims the cryptid they saw could not have been him.
Bigfoot 911, a Facebook group of more than 5,700 members that investigates sightings of the mythical Bigfoot in McDowell County, western North Carolina, said photos displayed on Mr MacGregor's website look nothing like the thing they saw.
John Bruner, who runs the group, says the creature he and eight other members encountered last Friday night in Pisgah National Park stood at around 8ft (2.4m) tall, had a different facial appearance, and "moved with speed unmatched by any human".
However, Mr MacGregor said he was participating in a "sacrament" of "wearing of hair-covered animal skins and wandering in the forest".
The 36-year-old, who was on holiday from Minnesota, writes on his blog about his personal belief in Bigfoot, or "the divine nature of sasquatch", as he calls it.
He writes that by dressing in sewn animal skins, and by reciting a "sasquatch prayer", he has had several encounters with the beast.
"It feels like it brings me closer to nature," he told the BBC after returning from holiday.
After seeing the sighting reported on the news, he felt obliged as an "honest citizen" to come forward, he told the BBC.
"If someone caused you to have an experience that meant something to you, but wasn't genuine, wouldn't you want them to tell you?" he said.
Hundreds of sightings of Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch, have been reported in western North Carolina and the Appalachian mountains along the East Coast.
On Tuesday, police in neighbouring South Carolina advised citizens not to shoot at Bigfoot, since "you'll most likely be wounding a fun-loving and well-intentioned person, sweating in a gorilla costume".
It is not the only mythical creature to make headlines this week in the region.
Emergency officials in South Carolina said on Wednesday they do not know whether this month's US solar eclipse will make the so-called Lizardman become more active.
But the state emergency management division advised citizens to be vigilant for any sign of the swamp thing, which was first sighted in 1998.

Robyn Malcolm had been photographing a pod of whales on a feeding frenzy 500km (310 miles) south of Sydney.
But she only realised she had taken the unusual picture when she went through the photos later, she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Animal experts say that witnessing such a partnership is rare.
New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife whale expert Geoff Ross told the paper the coupling was very rare but he had heard of it happening once before.
"The only other time was a seal trying to get away from a killer whale. The seal hopped on the back of the pectoral fins of a humpback whale," he said.
Ms Malcolm insisted that the photo was not doctored.
"I'm positive, because I don't know how to use Photoshop. And I do still have it on the camera so I can prove it," she told the newspaper.
The meeting of seal and whale is the latest in a series of serendipitous animal piggyback rides which have been captured this year.
In March, amateur photographer Martin Le-May shot this picture of a weasel clinging on to the back of a woodpecker at Hornchurch Country Park in east London.

Thomson had led for the majority of the race but Le Cleac'h took over when the Welshman suffered a damaged foil after hitting an object.
The Gosport-based sailor regained the lead north of the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean on 30 November.
The 42-year-old broke two race records prior to being overtaken, as he reached the Cape of Good Hope in record time.
After 25 days, the 29 yachts that started have been cut to 25 with almost 4,850 nautical miles gone.
The solo non-stop round-the-world race started on the west coast of France on 6 November. The winner is expected back in port around 20 January.
The Vendée Globe takes place every four years and Thomson is aiming to become the first British sailor to win the race.
Since the first race in 1989, only 71 of 138 starters have completed the voyage, which is known for being one of the most gruelling sporting challenges in the world.

Thomson, from Gosport, had to be rescued by helicopter off his vessel Hugo Boss, after it began taking on water earlier off the Spanish coast.
He had been competing in the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre race from Le Havre to South America with co-skipper Guillermo Altadill.
The IMOCA 60 yacht had suffered damage two days ago forcing the team out of the race.
They were heading for La Coruna when high seas and strong winds forced them to set off their emergency beacon.
In a statement Hugo Boss said both sailors had been taken back to land safe and uninjured.
Thomson was hoping to race the new yacht in the coveted Vendee Globe round-the-world race in November 2016.

Question: Forests can play a vital role in supplementing global food and nutrition security but this role is currently being overlooked, a report suggests.

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

The study says that tree-based farming provides resilience against extreme weather events, which can wipe out traditional food crops.
It warns that policies focusing on traditional agriculture often overlook the role forest farming could play.
The findings were presented at the UN Forum on Forests in New York, US.
The report is the result of a collaboration of more than 60 leading scientists, co-ordinated by the International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO) on behalf of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF).
"The report is not trying to suggest that people should start relying on forests more than conventional agriculture," explained Bhaskar Vira, the chair of the panel which compiled the report.
"It is very much about the complementary roles that forests can play alongside conventional agriculture.
"The evidence shows that a large number of people still rely on the food from forests and trees to supplement their diet," Dr Vira, director of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute.
Branching out
Global estimates suggest that one-in-nine people are still suffering from hunger, and the majority of them are in Africa and Asia.
The report highlights a range of measures that offer "great potential" to improve food security and improve people's quality of life.
It calculates that almost one-in-six people directly depend on forests for their food and income. It adds that in the Sahel region of Africa, tree-related production contributes an average of 80% to household incomes, particularly from shea nut production.
The report also highlights the importance of forests as a source of firewood and charcoal, essential to enable people to consume the calories found in conventional food crops. Globally, an estimated 2.4bn people use this renewable fuel source for heating and cooking.
More than wood
The authors also emphasise links between forests and conventional farming. For example, forests are a crucial habitat for key pollinators of many food crops. Without forests, the vital ecosystem service provided by birds and insects would be diminished, resulting in increased food security concerns.
"This report reminds us of the vital role of forests in building food security," observed Thomas Gass, assistant secretary-general for policy in the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs.
"It makes a convincing case for multi-functional and integrated landscape approaches, and for community-level engagement to re-imagine forestry and agriculture systems."
Another benefit lies in forests' ability to add diversity to the food production system, explained Christoph Wildburger, co-ordinator of the IUFRO Global Forest Expert Panels.
"Large-scale crop production is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events," he said.
"We know that forests already play a key role in mitigating the effects of climate change. This report makes it very clear that they also play a key role in alleviating hunger and improving nutrition."
Dr Vira added: "What we are saying to policymakers is to start thinking more about the landscape as an integrated production system rather than the current and conventional view that often places agriculture and forestry in opposition to each other.
"We make a really strong case for thinking about the landscape holistically."
Late last year, the Global Nutrition Report warned that most countries in the world faced a serious public health problem as a result of malnutrition.
It said that every nation except China had crossed a "malnutrition red line", suffering from too much or too little nutrition.
According to that report, malnutrition led to 11% of global GDP being "squandered as a result of lives lost, less learning, less earning and days lost to illness".
Dr Vira told BBC News: "One really important insight we got was that conventional agriculture was good for the calorific intake but not so good when you started to think about healthy and balanced diets.
"When we talk about food security we need to stop focusing simply on calories. It is hugely important to recognise how much of a balanced diet comes from outside of conventional agriculture, particularly from trees and forests.
"Forests matter when it comes to human wellbeing."

Food shortages, malnutrition and migration will undo decades of development unless more funding is made available, the authors added.
Failure to act could jeopardise UN global development goals, they warn.
The findings were compiled by the Montpellier Panel, a group of experts from Europe and Africa.
The report - The Farms of Change: African Smallholders Responding to an Uncertain Climate Future - recommended that international donors and governments took action in a range of priority areas, including:
Montpellier Panel chairman Prof Sir Gordon Conway observed: "Progress made in the last two decades to combat hunger and poverty in Africa will be irrelevant if action is not taken on climate change.
"African smallholders cannot escape poverty unless they are equipped to adapt to a changing climate - and this requires serious, large-scale investments," he added.
'Failed seasons'
The concerns voiced by Sir Gordon, who is also director of Agriculture for Impact, echoed the findings of a report last year that warned that many small-scale farmers across the continent faced the threat of "failed seasons".
The 2014 African Agriculture Status Report said the vital food producers faced a risk of being overwhelmed by the pace and severity of climate change.
The 2014 publication called for the adoption of "climate-smart agriculture" that would help make crops more resilient to future extreme weather events.
Another report published last year, On Trial: GM Crops in Africa, produced by UK think-tank Chatham House, said: "Increasing agricultural productivity and adapting farming to climate change are central to Africa's development prospects."
It suggested that sub-Saharan Africa's agricultural sector would benefit if it was able to harvest the fruits of biotechnology in order to establish sustainable development.
But it also said that a key challenge was being able to attract the necessary funding for biotechnology projects that focused on staple crops, such as cassava, as such food crops had a limited market globally.
Figures estimate that 200 million Africans are chronically malnourished and five million people each year die as a result of hunger.
The Montpellier Panel report that without urgently needed investment to climate-proof Africa's agriculture, the situation would become even more bleak.
It warned that by the middle of this century, hunger and child malnutrition could increase by more than 20% as a result of changes to the climate, undoing the gains made by the UN Millennium Development Goals.
However, Africa director of the International Food Policy Research Institute, Dr Ousmane Badiane, outlined why the report was calling for greater funding to climate-proof the continent's farms.
He said: "When given the right options and incentives, farmers can drive sustainable agricultural development that builds resilience to disasters and greenhouse gas emissions."

Question: Britain's native dormouse has declined by more than a third since the year 2000 according to a new report by wildlife charity, the People's Trust for Endangered Species.

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

The State of Britain's Dormice report also shows that hazel dormice are extinct in 17 English counties.
The researchers assessed more than 100,000 records gathered from across the UK over 25 years.
The report says the dormouse is now vulnerable to extinction in Britain.
Since 1998 trained volunteers around the country have been gathering data on the tiny hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius). It is one of the longest-running small mammal monitoring projects in the world.
The creatures live mainly in hedgerows and woods, weaving ball-like nests in the undergrowth from bark in the summer and hibernating on or near the ground in winter between October and May.
They are extremely tricky to locate - a populated area the size of two football fields will only contain four dormice. A giveaway sign is a nibbled hazelnut.
Today's report shows that they are more difficult to find than ever. Over the last 16 years, the population has declined by almost 40%. Populations are now restricted to the Welsh borders and southern England. They have never been recorded in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Ian White is dormouse officer at the People's Trust for Endangered Species. He has been monitoring the species for the last decade and describes the decline as "dramatic". He says: "Dormice have been around for 40 million years, but their future in Britain is now precarious and there's a pressing need for action to ensure their long-term survival."
In 1885, dormice were present in 49 English counties; today, they're known in 32 - excluding those counties where they have been reintroduced.
Mr White said the evidence pointed towards a few key factors in their decline. They are a woodland animal and there has been a loss of woodland and hedgerows. Their habitats are more fragmented and they can't disperse through the landscape.
The management of farmland and woodland has also changed making it harder for them to survive. They are also vulnerable to changes in the weather, in particular wetter springs and summers, when foraging for food becomes harder. Warmer winters also interrupt successful hibernation.
Mr White said: "This is a sad tale, the raw data is a bit doom and gloom but my personal experience is that there is a lot more interest in what we can do about this and a lot of enthusiasm from the public to help."
There have been efforts to bring hazel dormice back to the wild. More than 850 animals have been reintroduced at 26 sites. The latest was at Aysgarth in Wensleydale in June. At five of these release sites the population has died. The others have shown signs of success, such as breeding or dispersal to new areas beyond the site.
PTES monitors 400 sites regularly along with building a national dataset from the information that the public sends in. They also help to train woodland managers and landowners.

Saving Scotland's Red Squirrels said the site would help its work to conserve the mammals.
People have been asked to upload sightings using mobile phones because the GPS function on the devices give an accurate location of the squirrel.
Since 1952, 95% of red squirrels have been wiped out in England and Wales. Scotland has 75% of the UK's reds.
It has been estimated that Scotland has about 120,000 red squirrels.
Disease, habitat loss and competition for food from non-native grey squirrels have been blamed for the decline in reds.
So far this year 107 sightings of reds and 59 greys have been recorded by Saving Scotland's Red Squirrels.
The organisation involves the Scottish Wildlife Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Land and Estates and the Red Squirrel Survival Trust.

Question: Six senior officials of Singapore's City Harvest megachurch have been jailed over a $50m Singapore dollar ($35m; £23m) fraud case.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence.

The evangelical church's pastor and founder, Kong Hee, was jailed for eight years - others received between 21 months and six years.
The court ruled last month the group had misused church finances to fund the music career of Kong's wife, Sun Ho.
All denied the charges - the church had supported them during the trial.
State prosecutors said before sentencing it was "the largest amount of charity funds ever misappropriated in Singapore's legal history".
Known for its slick image and wealth-focused brand of Christianity, City Harvest Church (CHC) has some 17,500 members in Singapore and branches around the world.
In 2002, its launched what it called the Crossover Project - a scheme to evangelise through Ms Ho's music career.
The hope was that songs like China Wine - a tune with rapper Wyclef Jean depicting Ms Ho as a Chinese exotic dancer in Jamaica - would help spread the gospel.
A church-backed music production company aimed at helping her achieve mainstream success in the US was left with millions of dollars in losses when the project failed.
The six were convicted on 21 October of misappropriating S$24m of church funds for the music project, and using another S$26m in an attempt to cover their tracks.
They were found guilty of various counts of criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts, although the judge accepted that there was no evidence of "wrongful gain" by the defendants themselves.
That lack of personal financial benefit from the fraud meant the judge did not impose the maximum sentences of up to 20 years, local media report.
Ms Ho herself was not prosecuted in connection with the case and did not attend Friday's sentencing.
She recently took over leadership of the church.

Media reports say Mr Conde, 67, and six other people were arrested over the charges, including his two children.
Mr Conde was previously jailed for embezzlement committed when he was chairman of the Banesto bank.
The latest charges relate to an alleged attempt to launder â‚¬13m (Â£10.4m; $14.8m) in Swiss accounts of money that he had embezzled from the bank.
Banesto had to be taken over in 1993 after an audit revealed a shortfall of billions of euros.
Mr Conde was sentenced to 20 years in jail in 2002 for embezzlement and fraud but was released on parole in 2005. That 36-month-long trial was the longest in Spanish history, according to El Pais newspaper.

Question: Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has conceded the NHS in England is facing "completely unacceptable" problems.

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

He said there was "no excuse" for some of the difficulties highlighted during the BBC's NHS week, and the government had a plan to help hospitals cope.
A series of reports have revealed lengthening waits in A&E and patients being left for hours on trolleys.
Sir Robert Francis QC, who investigated failings in Mid Staffordshire, said the NHS was facing an "existential crisis".
However, in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Hunt said the key was to treat more people "at home and in the community" to ease the burden on hard-pressed hospitals.
He said there was already a "big transformation programme" under way, but conceded it would take time.
Mr Hunt was speaking at the end of a week in which the BBC has revealed:
He said: "It is incredibly frustrating for me. I am doing this job because I want NHS care to be the safest and best in the world. That kind of care is completely unacceptable. No-one would want it for members of their own family."
He said there was "no excuses" for some of the stories that have emerged this week, including the case of Iris Sibley who has been left stranded in Bristol Royal Infirmary for more than six months because a nursing home place could not be found for her.
"It is terrible for Mrs Sibley but it is also very bad for the NHS," Mr Hunt said.
He went on to say it was "completely unacceptable" - the third time he used the phrase when pressed by the BBC about some of the problems that have come to light.
Mr Hunt said: "We are trying very hard to sort out these problems."
But he said progress had been "disappointingly slow" in some areas, including integrating the NHS with council-run care services, such as care homes and home help.
He said tackling social care problems - a major reason for why so many frail patients cannot be discharged from hospital - was on the government's agenda.
"The prime minister has been very clear. We recognise the pressure's there. We recognise there is a problem about the sustainability of the social care system.
"That has to be addressed and we are going to do that."
However, Mr Hunt also defended the government's record. He said extra money was being put in - nearly Â£4bn this year, which he pointed out was the equivalent to the whole budget of the fire service.
He also said there were "positive" things happening in the health service as well as negative, highlighting improvements in cancer survival and the investment being made in general practice.
And he said all health systems were "grappling" with similar problems because of the ageing population. "There's no silver bullet," he added.
However, Sir Robert Francis said the financial pressures on the NHS - together with the high levels of demand - had created an environment in which a care scandal equal to Mid Staffordshire was "inevitable".
The heath service was "manifestly failing" to keep pace with demand, he told the Health Service Journal.
Sir Robert, who is a non-executive director at the Care Quality Commission, also warned of "depressingly familiar" pressures on NHS chief executives "coming down from the top."
He said there was an "increasing disconnect" between what is said nationally about the NHS and "what people on the ground feel or see is going on".
"The message is put out that we are putting more money into the service than we ever did and it is the best health service around.
"But against that there is a front-line feeling that things have never been as bad as they are now and we can't deal with the pressures," he added.

A week of coverage by BBC News examining the state of the NHS across the UK as it comes under intense pressure during its busiest time of the year.

There were nearly 185,000 days of delays in July, up a quarter on the same month last year.
The delays are caused by a lack of available care in the community, and mean vulnerable patients are left stuck on wards while arrangements are made for them to be safely discharged.
It comes as the NHS continues to miss its key waiting time goals.
Targets for A&E, cancer care, ambulance response times and routine operations are all being missed - continuing a trend that has been seen in recent months.
The A&E target has only been met twice in two years, while ambulances have failed to hit their target to respond to the most life-threatening calls for the past 14 months.
Delays discharging patients are particularly problematic for hospitals as they have a knock on effect on other parts of the hospital, particularly A&E.
Dr Mark Holland, president of the Society for Acute Medicine, said the NHS was stuck in an "eternal winter".
"We should be winning in July, yet the latest statistics show urgent and emergency care under further strain and a considerable rise in delayed discharges."
Nigel Edwards, of the Nuffield Trust health think-tank, said: "The days of a traditional summer respite for the NHS are gone for good.
"The figure for delays in discharging patients from hospital is particularly worrying.
"What's more, I am very concerned that these official figures systematically understate the true scale of the problem - I think NHS England and the Department of Health should look more rigorously at the way they calculate these delays.
"The NHS stands no chance of transforming the way care is delivered to patients while it is still struggling with this problem".

Sunday's hosts have a track record of defeating Premiership sides in cup competition this season.
Hughes is clear that the Championship side are of top-tier standard.
"You just need to look at our last result against Hearts," he said. "Who knocked Hearts out of the Scottish Cup? Hibs."
Hibs are not only challenging for promotion but have already reached a national final this season.
"You just need to look at the teams Hibs have knocked out to get to the League Cup final - Aberdeen, Dundee United, St Johnstone," said Hughes.
"They've been taking Premier League scalps along the way. We're well aware of that and we give them all the respect.
"We need to make sure we're at it and switched on."
Hibs' recent record makes poor viewing with three league defeats on the bounce seemingly ending their Championship title hopes.
"I don't think that has any significance to what will happen on Sunday," said Hughes. "It's a one-off it's a cup tie. We have to be inspired by the venue.
"All the support is going to be for Hibs; that puts a little bit of pressure on them.
"The history of the Scottish Cup puts a little bit of pressure on them. Expectations of supporters puts a little bit of pressure on them.
"Our pressure is we're the holders of the Scottish Cup.
"If we can win that game and get into the semi-final of the Scottish Cup, it could galvanise us for the remainder of the season. That's how important it is, but you don't put too much emphasis on it."
Hughes also affirmed his belief that the quality of sides currently in the Championship means an expanded top division should be explored.
"I feel for Hibs as it looks like they're going to be in the play-offs", he opined. "Scottish football has missed Hibernian.
"You cannot have your top supported clubs playing their football in the First Division.
"You get relegated, you have to take your medicine, but I'm massive for a bigger league. We have to look at the bigger league."

Ronny Deila's team wrapped up a fifth title with victory over Aberdeen in Glasgow on Sunday and are currently 12 points clear of the second-top Dons.
Rangers will be in the Premiership next season after winning the Championship and beat Celtic in the Scottish Cup.

Question: Canadian defenceman Jerome Leduc has joined the Belfast Giants for the remainder of the season.

The 24-year-old from Québec was with Czech Republic side HC Dynamo Pardubice before signing for the Giants.
"We're excited to be able to bring in a player of Jerome's quality - he'll add stability to our d-corps," said Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations.
Leduc is available for this weekend's two games against leaders Cardiff, with the Giants three points back.
He was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round, 68th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Following his draft year, in the 2011/12 season Leduc led the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in both goals as well as points by a defenceman.
Leduc spent the following four seasons in the AHL with the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres affiliate, where he posted 19 goals and 38 assists in 228 games played.
The Ottawa Senators traded for Leduc in a seven-player deal in February 2016 and he was directly assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, for the remainder of the season.
Leduc then signed a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice, posting four goals and five assists in 41 games played, before joining the Giants.
Thornton added: "Unfortunately we received news that Alex Foster will miss a significant number of games following an injury sustained in the game against Fife and we made sure to move quickly to bring in the best possible player available."

Saviano, 35, hit 18 goals and 30 assists in 56 games during his first season with the Belfast club.
He netted four goal against Fife in February which earned him an Elite League Player of the Week award.
"Having Savy back in Belfast for a second season is great for our team. He works hard every time he steps on the ice," said Giants coach Adam Keefe.
"He's great in the room, the guys love him and he will be counted on this season to be a big leader on and off the ice for the Giants. I know the fans will be very happy to hear he will be back again."
Fan favourite Saviano was awarded the coach's player of the Year award by former coach Derrick Walser at the end of last season.
Belfast Giants have made four new signings for next season with Dustin Johner, Darcy Murphy, Jonathan Ferland and Sebastien Sylvestre joining the club.
In addition, Colin Shields, Mark Garside, Blair Riley, Ryan Martinelli and Matt Towe have signed on for another season with the Giants.

Question: Solicitors and barristers in Northern Ireland have been granted permission to take legal action to try to overturn planned cuts to the legal aid budget.

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

A judge granted the Law Society and Bar Council leave to seek a judicial review of Justice Minister David Ford's rules.
The hearing is scheduled to take place in September.
A barrister representing the two bodies said the reduced payments did not give lawyers fair reward for their work to ensure defendants got a fair trial.
"They will have a devastating impact on the criminal justice system both now and in the future," said Karen Quinlivan QC.
"Our concern is it will lead to an erosion in due course of advocacy and representation."
She added: "If we are successful we will be seeking to quash retrospectively the unlawful rules."
Mr Ford, who is facing cuts to his departmental budget along with other Northern Ireland Executive ministers, introduced new rules this month that reduce the legal aid payments available to lawyers who undertake criminal case work.
Earlier this week, barristers who are part of the Criminal Bar Association withdrew from all new criminal cases requiring legal aid, in protest against the reduced payments.
A barrister for the minister told the court he had received 2,000 pages of legal exhibits as part of the challenge, with further documentation from a forensic accountant's report still to come.
Seeking six weeks to assess the material, Tony McGleenan QC said: "We have quite a substantial body of work in responding to this."
Granting leave to seek a judicial review, the judge agreed to list the case for a full, week-long hearing in September.
In a statement, Mr Ford said he would be "robustly defending the legal challenge".
"The levels of remuneration were set following detailed analysis; adjusted following consultation; and have been through the legislative process," he said.
"Given that this challenge is now before the courts, I will not be making any further public comment on the issue until the legal process is completed.
"However, my department will monitor the impact the withdrawal of services will have on the courts and they will engage with all sectors of the justice system to try to mitigate any impact on defendants, victims and witnesses."

Michael Mansfield QC helped open the Greater Manchester Law Centre in Moss Side earlier.
Seven of the nine law centres in Greater Manchester shut after cuts of Â£350m to legal aid.
Patron Mr Mansfield said the centre was "courageous to stand out and say 'we're not going to allow this to happen, we want proper public funding'."
He said he was "very concerned" about the situation in Manchester and that demand for free and independent legal advice was growing but facilities were reducing.
The centre will be run by volunteers and solicitors working for free.
Following changes to legal aid in 2013, people can get funding for fewer types of civil proceeding.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said the UK's legal aid system was "still one of the most generous in the world".
John Nicholson, chair of the centre, said: "We are fighting for a new generation of publicly funded social welfare lawyers... we're not just here to mask the severity of cuts and closures."
Another of the centre's patrons, Bolton actor Maxine Peake, said "access to free legal advice is as important as access to healthcare".
Mr Mansfield was one of the founders of the law centre movement in the 1970s and has taken part in inquests involving accused IRA bombers, the Bloody Sunday incident, the Hillsborough disaster and the deaths of Jean Charles de Menezes and Diana, Princess of Wales.
He said: "The present situation is that it's very difficult to find anybody prepared to fight for this."
The government's view is people "can deal with all this on the internet and telephone" but "actually the core problems need face-to-face interviews," he said.
A major reform of the legal aid system, which would have slashed the number of law firms allowed to do criminal legal aid work at police stations and magistrates' courts, was scrapped in January.
An 8.75% cut to legal aid fees lawyers earn was also suspended for a year. Lawyers had claimed the reforms could damage quality and access to justice.

Question: A man has been jailed for five years for attempting to rape a schoolgirl after buying alcohol for underage drinkers.

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

Ruslanas Kukanauza attempted to rape the 14-year-old in Haddington, East Lothian, in 2013.
The 25-year-old, of Haddington, was also found guilty of sexually assaulting three other underage girls.
A judge told Kukanauza he was "bound to impose a sentence of imprisonment" given the nature of the offence.
The first offender had earlier denied a series of charges, but was found guilty after a trial of the attempted rape, as well as further attacks on other female victims in Haddington.
During a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh, Kukanauza, originally from Lithuania, was also placed on the sex offenders register.
Judge Michael O'Grady QC previously told him: "It is apparent to me from the circumstances of this case that you are inclined to prey on young women as a matter of course."
He said: "It goes without saying that the crime of attempted rape is always a cowardly and serious offence."
The judge added that it was particularly so when "perpetrated by a grown man on a child" who was vulnerable.
The victim of the attempted rape, who is now aged 17, said that at that time of the offence she would sometimes meet up with friends and go out drinking.
She told advocate depute Jo McDonald that they would ask others to buy alcohol for them.
The teenager said she had told her mother she was going to the gym and she was given money, but her intention was to buy drink.
Kukanauza came down the street and one of her friends said he would buy them alcohol as he had done it before. She told the court she had contributed Â£20 and he came back with a bag containing lager, cider and gin.
"He sat with us for a bit and then we got invited up to his flat," she said. They went to the flat in Hardgate, Haddington, where she was drinking gin.
They later left after Kukanauza said he was going to the pub for a drink, but were told they could return to the flat later and were given the chance to stay.
The teenager said: "I was really quite drunk."
She and others were lying on a bed and Kukanauza joined them. She said she was wakened up by her body "shaking" and had never consented to what was occurring "because I was sleeping".
She said as soon as she realised what was going on she stood up and left the flat.
Defence counsel Matt Jackson told the court that Kukanauza still maintained his innocence.
Mr Jackson said: "He does go so far as recognising that he was wrong in involving himself in any kind of supply of alcohol."
The defence counsel said Kukanauza had come to Britain as a 17-year-old to find employment and had shown a strong work ethic.

Billal Amin sent a taxi to collect the teenager and her 15-year-old friend and take them to a hotel in East London.
The two girls were given alcohol before the 14-year-old performed a sex act on Amin and had sex with another man.
Amin was jailed for 12 years and put on the sex offenders' register for life at Lincoln Crown Court.
Martin Hurst, prosecuting, said after the assaults Amin took a taxi with the girls telling them they were going to his home.
When they left the taxi Amin disappeared abandoning the girls in London in the middle of the night.
The court was told they sought help and police were contacted resulting in an investigation that led to Amin's arrest.
The inquiry revealed two months earlier Amin had met the girl in London when she had also performed a sex act on him.
Jailing him for 12 years, Judge Simon Hirst said he acted "disgracefully".
He told him: "Abandoning a 14-year-old girl in London in the middle of the night beggars belief."
Amin denied a charge of trafficking for sexual exploitation in March 2013 and two charges of sexual activity with a child but was convicted by a jury on a 10 to two majority.
He was cleared of a further charge of trafficking for sexual exploitation.
The 33-year-old, of Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, was also given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order banning him from having contact with any child under 16.

Operations were halted last week after heavy rains flooded the airport and damaged key equipment.
A massive relief operation is continuing to get food and medicines to tens of thousands of people. Many residents are still living in shelters.
Key services like power supply and the railways are also functioning as flood waters have receded in some areas.
Some flights, including an Air India service to Port Blair, took off on Sunday. But the airport resumed full operations for both domestic and international flights on Monday, Press Trust of India news agency reported.
"The availability of Chennai airport for all-weather day and night operations for all flights for which domestic and international terminals will be available from 6am [local time] of 7 December," an Airports Authority of India (AAI) statement said.
The rains, the heaviest in 100 years, are being blamed on climate change and many in Chennai say the city needs to prepare better to face extreme weather patterns.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised $150m (Â£99m) to the flood-hit Tamil Nadu state.
A depression in the Bay of Bengal triggered rains in coastal areas.
Earlier in November, non-stop rain for nearly a week brought the city to a standstill.

Question: London Underground office staff have voted for industrial action in a row over ticket office closures.

Nearly 68% of members of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association voted for strikes on a 44% turnout.
The Union has said its members had been subjected to "unprecedented" levels of abuse since ticket offices closed.
A survey for the TSSA found most staff felt less safe since moving from offices on to station concourses.
Tom Edwards, BBC London Transport Correspondent
The ticket office closures were one of the biggest changes on the tube for generations.
With the rise of automatic payments methods such as the Oyster card and contactless, the idea was to get staff from behind the glass screens and on to the ticket gate lines. But the unions have always opposed it and say the redeployment has led to more lone working and staff shortages.
The TSSA, which represents station staff, says it will decide, probably tomorrow, what industrial action it will take in the dispute.
Strikes aren't being ruled out, although it could be an overtime ban.
Other forms of industrial action were backed by nine to one.
The union said staff were being targeted by frustrated passengers if ticket machines do not work.
TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes said the vote was about "our members being prepared to take part in a strike to let the world know that the Tube they are using is not fit for safe purpose".
"Our customer service assistants are overwhelmingly trying to warn the public that the Tube they use is not safe. We no longer have enough staff," he said.
Steve Griffiths, London Underground's chief operating officer, said: "We urge the TSSA leadership to work with us constructively on the issues they have raised rather than threaten to disrupt our customers with strikes. "
The ticket offices were closed as part of the Fit for the Future programme introduced by former London mayor Boris Johnson.
His successor Sadiq Khan has ordered a review of the project.
Tube drivers are to stage 24-hour strikes on 6 and 7 December, coinciding with a walkout by Southern Rail guards.

Question: One of the UK's most notorious criminals has been granted a fresh appeal against his conviction for a road rage murder in 1996.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence:

Kenneth Noye, 63, stabbed Stephen Cameron, 21, during a fight on the M25.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission has referred the case to the Court of Appeal because of questions over a pathologist's evidence.
Noye, previously cleared of murdering a police officer, went on the run to Spain but was eventually tracked down.
At his Old Bailey trial in 2000, Noye said he had acted in self defence after being attacked by Mr Cameron when their vehicles stopped on an M25 slip road at Swanley in Kent.
Witnesses said there had been a fight and that Mr Cameron had got the better of the older man. But what happened next was disputed in court.
Noye argued he stabbed once in the chaotic melee, fearing for his own safety. The prosecution said he had stabbed twice - and it was therefore a plan to kill. The jury found Noye guilty of murder by a majority of 11 to one.
In a statement on Thursday, the CCRC said: "Having carried out a thorough review of Mr Noye's case, that has included consideration of the pathology evidence at trial and new expert evidenceâ€¦ the commission has decided to refer Mr Noye's conviction to the Court of Appeal on the grounds that there is a real possibility that the court may quash the conviction as unsafe.
"The commission's referral of Mr Noye's conviction to the Court of Appeal means that the court will hear a fresh appeal.
"The court will decide whether to uphold the conviction, whether to quash the conviction and require a retrial, or whether to quash the conviction without requiring a retrial."
Earlier this year, Noye unsuccessfully challenged his 16-year minimum jail term, but the judgement revealed that Dr Nat Cary, one of the UK's top pathologists, had been critical of the original findings presented at trial.
Dr Cary suggested that Noye could have stabbed once in a manner which caused the two distinct wounds to Mr Cameron's heart and liver.
The original pathologist, Michael Heath, resigned from the Home Office register in 2006. The Advisory Board for Forensic Pathology upheld 20 disciplinary charges against Dr Heath and ruled his conduct had brought into question his fitness to practise in separate cases.
Noye's first appeal in 2001 was dismissed after the then Lord Chief Justice said there was "no justification" for Noye to have produced the knife.
But in a statement, Noye's lawyer Henry Milner said: "Very significant fresh evidence has come to light, which we allege seriously undermines the credibility of the original pathologist.
"Assuming these findings, and the prosecution pathologist's interpretation of them, have been accepted as accurate by the jury at the time of Mr Noye's original trial, they undoubtedly would have damaged my client's credibility in front of the jury, and his case that he acted in self-defence throughout."
Police officer's death
Noye first came to public attention in the 1980s when he was charged with the murder of Pc John Fordham, a Scotland Yard officer.
Pc Fordham was hiding in Noye's extensive grounds in Kent as part of an investigation into the 1983 Brinks Mat bullion robbery, in which a gang took three tonnes of gold.
At his 1985 trial, Noye told the jury that he had acted in self-defence when confronted by Pc Fordham - and he was cleared or murder.
But the following year, he was convicted of handling Brinks Mat gold and jailed for 14 years.

In 2000 Noye, 70, was sentenced to life and told to serve at least 16 years for the murder of Stephen Cameron in 1996.
Mr Cameron, 21, was stabbed in front of fiancee Danielle Cable, who was given a new identity and has been living under a witness protection scheme ever since.
Jimmy Cable said her safety was more important than Noye's transfer.
Noye is expected to be moved to an open prison within about six weeks after the justice secretary accepted a Parole Board recommendation that he be transferred to "open conditions".
Mr Cable said he was angered by the decision.
"Why give him [Noye] the opportunity to go in an open prison. He can have a day out and walk around. Why?"
His daughter identified Noye after he fled to Spain and subsequently gave evidence at his trial.
Mr Cable told BBC South East that her life had been destroyed.
"If you take a life, you should serve life," he said.
Profile: Kenneth Noye
The electrician was stabbed to death on a slip road of the M25 at Swanley in Kent.
Noye later claimed he killed Mr Cameron in self-defence during a road-rage fight.
He went on the run after the killing, but was arrested in Spain in 1998 and was extradited back to the UK.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Edmund, making only his second Davis Cup appearance, won 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-5) to give Britain, who were without Andy Murray, an unassailable 3-1 lead.
Britain will now play Argentina at home in September as they aim to defend the title they won in Belgium last year.
Following Edmund's win, James Ward lost 6-2 3-6 7-5 to Janko Tipsarevic to make the final score 3-2 to Britain.
Edmund, 21, was playing as Britain's top-ranked singles player after Murray chose to sit out the tie following his Wimbledon success.
It was the first time Britain have won a World Group match in the Davis Cup without their number one player.
Facing Lajovic, the highest ranked player in Serbia's squad following Novak Djokovic's decision to miss the tie, Edmund produced one of the best performances of his career, hitting 27 forehand winners and 39 in total.
The world number 67 served for the match at 5-4 but Lajovic broke back before the Yorkshireman rallied to take the match on a tie-break.
"You want to win for your country," said Edmund. "When you know what is at stake... I'm so pleased that I've won."
Edmund had beaten Tipsaveric in the first singles rubber on Friday to give Britain a 1-0 lead.
Lajovic then beat Ward in the second singles match on Saturday before Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot put Britain in front again with victory in the doubles.
Team captain Leon Smith has now won 14 of his 16 Davis Cup matches since taking the job in 2010.
He was full of praise for Edmund's performances this year and last.
"I have seen Kyle develop a lot," said Smith. "To get your first Davis Cup win is something, to get two in one weekend is something very special indeed."
Former Great Britain Davis Cup captain John Lloyd: "It was a gutsy performance and Kyle had faith in his game. He didn't pull back, he stood firm and withstood Lajovic's best games at the end.
"That will mean so much that Kyle came through in that sort of pressure. What that could do for his career is amazing."
Former Great Britain Davis Cup player Jamie Baker: "He was rock-solid at the end. He's never been in a situation like that before.
"His forehand, in terms of pace and what he can do with it is in the top five, of the world but he can always improve his movement."
Britain will face Argentina in the last four after the South Americans completed a 3-1 away victory against Italy.
France - featuring Wimbledon doubles champions Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, as well as singles quarter-finalists Lucas Pouille and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - beat the Czech Republic 3-1.
They will face Croatia, who came from 2-0 down to beat the United States.

Domingues, the world number 242, fought back from 5-2 down in the third set and saved two match points before eventually beating the 22-year-old seventh seed 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-2).
The victory is the 23-year-old's first on the ATP World Tour.
Elsewhere, Britain's Aljaz Bedene beat Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the first round of the Istanbul Open.
The 27-year-old won 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 6-4, just two days after losing to Lucas Pouille in the Hungarian Open final.
The British number four will play top seed Milos Raonic for a place in the quarter-finals.

The Multi-Story Orchestra was praised for its "ingenuity and impact in the local community" as it picked up the audience engagement prize.
Sakari Oramo, leader of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, won best conductor.
And the National Youth Orchestra took the ensemble award, as judges called it "a beacon of excellence for decades".
They reserved particular praise for the orchestra's outreach campaign, which aimed "to engage hundreds more teenagers" at a "time when music has such a precarious place in the schools' curriculum".
Pianist Clare Hammond, who appeared as a young Maggie Smith playing at the Proms in last year's Alan Bennett movie The Lady in the Van, won the award for young artists.
The 32-year-old, whose recent album of piano etudes was praised in Gramophone magazine for its "unfaltering bravura and conviction", is currently taking a break from performances to have a baby.
The jury praised her "commitment to new repertoire" and "compelling presence as a performer".
Russian virtuoso pianist Daniil Trifonov won the instrumentalist award and was commended by the jury for his "technical brilliance, deep musicality and fearless sense of adventure".
The musician, who is only 25, has been called a "superstar" and a "phenomenon". He gave his first concert aged eight, apparently losing one of his baby teeth mid-performance.
Internationally renowned opera director Graham Vick was presented with honorary membership of the Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS), joining the likes of Brahms (1882), Clara Schumann (1887), Stravinsky (1921), Aaron Copland (1970) and Evelyn Glennie (2015).
Vick, who is currently artistic director of Birmingham Opera Company, has spent his career bringing opera to new audiences.
In his early 20s, he founded a small touring group with funds from a government job creation scheme to take productions to remote communities in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Later, in the 1980s, he worked with a group of 300 unemployed young people on Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story in an abandoned mill in Yorkshire.
In its citation, the RPS said: "Graham Vick has single-handedly changed the way we think about opera. Everything he does stems from a passionate belief that opera that has excellence and accessibility at its core, speaks to everyone.
"He has taken opera out of the opera house and revitalised the repertoire, creating productions that engage both operatic newcomers and the most hardened devotees."
The ceremony, held at The Brewery in London, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 at 19:30 BST on Wednesday, 11 May.
The full list of winners was as follows:

The recipients, who include British viola player Rosemary Nalden and pianist Ricardo Castro, will be given an honorary membership.
The society, which has only given out 131 memberships in the past 187 years, said the musicians had all made a "profound difference" with their work.
They will receive the awards on 14 May.
Former pilot Armand Diangienda, who founded a symphony orchestra in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is among those to be honoured.
Rosemary Nalden will be recognised for her work in a stringed instrument school in Soweto, South Africa. Ricardo Castro founded a youth music programme in Brazil.
Dr Ahmad Sarmast, who set up the Afghanistan National Institute of Music, and violinist Aaron P Dworkin, will also receive honorary memberships.
RPS chairman John Gilhooly said the musicians were chosen because they "understand the fundamental importance of culture in society and its potential to change lives".
"Each has shown tenacity and vision, and each is driven by a 'love of their art' which is very much in keeping with the founding principles of the RPS," he added.
The RPS was formed in 1813 and the first honorary membership was awarded in 1826.
The society's annual Music Awards, which honour musicians, composers, writers and arts organisations, are described by organisers as "the highest recognition for live classical music in the UK".
This year sees the young musicians who performed at the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony competing for the learning and participation prize.
Welsh opera star Bryn Terfel is among the big names nominated in the singer category, alongside the English mezzo-sopranos Alice Coote and Sarah Connolly and the US tenor Bryan Hymel.
BBC Radio 3's Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Sean Rafferty will host the ceremony, which will be broadcast on the station on 19 May.

Question: Plymouth Argyle captain Curtis Nelson and striker Reuben Reid have left the club after failing to agree new deals, along with full-back Kelvin Mellor and forward Tyler Harvey.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence.

Nelson has joined Oxford United, having been the subject of a bid from Championship side Barnsley.
Manager Derek Adams declined to comment on the departures of the four players.
However, highly-rated defensive midfielder Carl McHugh has agreed a new deal at Home Park.
Nelson, 23, made 247 appearances for Argyle after making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2010.
He joined the club's academy, having been released by Stoke City, and became the youngest person since 1967 to captain Argyle when he led them for the first time against Cheltenham Town in April 2013.
Argyle will be able to command a compensation fee for the centre-back from his next club, as he is under the age of 24.
Reid, 27, also came through the club's academy and was in his second spell at the club, having rejoined in 2014 after spending much of the previous 18 months with Argyle on loan.
He was top-scorer in both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons and became the first Argyle player in 86 years to score a hat-trick against Devon rivals Exeter City in February 2015.
Mellor joined the club in the summer of 2014 and played 93 times, while 21-year-old Harvey, also a product of Argyle's youth system, made just eight appearances last season, scoring twice in the final-day 5-0 win over Hartlepool United.
"We've got 18 permanently signed players now," boss Adams told BBC Radio Devon.
"We've still got two or three to go permanently and then we'll look at the loan signings."

The 36-year-old former Crystal Palace and Birmingham City forward scored twice in 25 appearances in 2015-16.
Midfielders Manny Oyeleke, 23, and Jason Pope, 20, and striker Will Hoskins, 30, have also been let go.
Craig Woodman, David Noble, Christian Ribeiro, Jamie McAllister, Arron Davies and Alex Nicholls have yet to be offered new contracts by the Grecians.
But Matt Jay and Joe Charles have both been offered fresh deals, while academy graduates Toby Down, Jordan Storey, Nick Grimes and Kyle Egan have all been added to the first-team squad.
Defender Danny Butterfield and midfielder Matt Oakley have been given support staff positions, but may still be registered as players to provide backup.
