Question: Author James Patterson has scrapped the publication of a new novel titled The Murder of Stephen King because he does not want to cause "discomfort" to King.

The book is about a fictional obsessed fan hunting down King, the author of Misery, The Shining and Carrie.
But Patterson said he had learned in the run-up to the planned November publication that fans had "disrupted" King's home in real life.
King has had nothing to do with the novel, Patterson has stressed.
Before deciding to scrap the book, he wrote on his website: "I'm a Stephen King fan, but Stephen King did not participate in the making of this novel, nor is he affiliated with it in any way. I hope he likes it."
However, in a statement released by his publisher on Thursday, Patterson - who co-wrote the book with Derek Nikitas - said: "My book is a positive portrayal of a fictional character, and, spoiler alert, the main character is not actually murdered.
"Nevertheless, I do not want to cause Stephen King or his family any discomfort. Out of respect for them, I have decided not to publish The Murder of Stephen King."
King declined to comment on the book when asked about it last week by the Associated Press.
Patterson, ranked as the world's highest-earning author for the last three years, told the news agency the pair do not know each other.
In 2009, King called Patterson a successful yet "terrible" writer. Crime writer Patterson described that remark as "hyperbole" when speaking to AP.
Patterson is releasing the novel Taking the Titanic instead of the planned King book.

Rowling's recent Twitter feed has been filled with her retweets criticising the president's recent travel ban.
Some followers have taken umbrage with her stance, with several saying they have burned her books or plan to do so, and one suggesting she "should stay out of politics".
But the novelist has proved a match for her critics with her mocking responses.
One Twitter user said they would now "burn your books and movies, too".
Rowling hit back: "Well, the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I've still got your money, so by all means borrow my lighter."
Another said she had "just burned all their Harry Potter books after being a fan for 17 years".
Rowling's riposte? "Guess it's true what they say: you can lead a girl to books about the rise and fall of an autocrat, but you still can't make her think."
Another Twitter user posted: "You're a grown ass woman whose entire career is based on stories about a nerd who turns people into frogs. Stay out of politics."
Rowling responded: "In - Free - Countries - Anyone - Can - Talk - About - Politics.
"Try sounding out the syllables aloud, or ask a fluent reader to help."
It isn't the first time people have burnt or threatened to burn JK Rowling's books.
In the late 1990s, not long after the first couple of Harry Potter books were published, some had concerns about the magic and supernatural references, which they believed went against Bible teachings.
A pile of Potter books was set alight in New Mexico in December 2001 by a religious group who claimed Harry was "the devil".
And a preacher in Maine in the US marked The Chamber of Secrets' release by holding a party in which he shredded copies of Potter books.

Question: The funeral of former Munster head coach Anthony Foley has taken place in County Clare.

Foley, 42, died in Paris after a heart condition caused fluid to build up in his lungs.
He was found in his hotel room where Munster were staying before Sunday's European Champions Cup game against Racing 92.
On Friday, his coffin was carried into St Flannan's Church in his hometown of Killaloe.
Players from the province, past and present, formed a guard of honour.
Among them were former Irish and Munster stars Paul O'Connell, Ronan O'Gara and Peter Stringer, along with ex-Ireland teammate Brian O'Driscoll.
Hundreds of other mourners packed into the church and surrounding streets.
Foley is survived by his widow Olive and sons Tony and Dan.
Fr Pat Malone led the homily. He said: "It is fitting that we celebrate with dignity the life and achievements of a man who lived life with great dignity and personal and professional integrity."
Addressing Foley's widow, Olive, Fr Malone said: "You were his true love, and how good you were together.
"One could sense the strength of your relationship, the warmth of your love for each other, and the ways you supported each other through the easy as well as the difficult moments of life.
"You complimented each other so well, yin and yang in perfect valve with each other."
He said Foley's presence was reassuring to those who knew him, and said "in Anthony's presence you knew you'd never walk alone".
Foley represented the Irish province on 201 occasions and captained them to their first European Cup triumph in 2006 before helping them regain the trophy two years later.
The number eight also won 62 Ireland caps and skippered his country on three occasions.

Question: Self-styled Islamic State has developed a new "special forces" style of combat to target Europe, the director of the EU's police agency Europol says.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

More attacks like those in Mumbai in 2008 and Paris last November could be being planned, Rob Wainwright said.
He was speaking as Europol opened its new counter-terror centre in The Hague.
The unit will seek to improve information exchange and identify the links between terrorism and other areas of crime.
The need was highlighted in particular by the Paris attacks on 13 November that killed 130 people. On Sunday, the Islamic State group posted a video apparently showing nine of the suspected gunmen before they carried out those attacks.
What is Islamic State?
Who were the Paris attackers?
Paris attacks: Who were the victims?
Paris attacks: What happened on the night
The opening of the centre coincided with Europol's new report on IS.
The Paris attacks and the downing of a Russian airliner over Egypt last October "suggest a shift in IS strategy towards going global", it says.
"IS is preparing more terrorist attacks, including more 'Mumbai-style' attacks, to be executed in member states of the EU, and in France in particular," the report, Changes in modus operandi of Islamic State terrorist attacks, says.
"The attacks will be primarily directed at soft targets, because of the impact it generates."
It suggests refugees fleeing Syria and other nations for Europe may be vulnerable to recruitment.
"Indeed there are reports that refugee centres are being specifically targeted by Islamic extremist recruiters," the report says.
Other points in the report:
Mr Wainwright said more than 5,000 EU nationals had been radicalised fighting abroad and many had returned home.
Europe's leaders, he said, had decided to establish "for the first time a dedicated pan-European operational centre to combat terrorism".
Mr Wainwright said the centre's priority would be to improve information exchange between EU members.
It will also focus on links to other criminal sectors.
Mr Wainwright said: "We know that many terrorist suspects, such as those responsible for the terrible attacks in Paris, have a criminal background, are linked with the drugs sector, firearms and other criminal sectors.
"Critical to Europol, therefore, functioning as the EU's information hub on countering crime and terrorism will be to uncover those links."
The new unit will have between 40 and 50 experts in counterterrorism.
Europol has in total about 800 staff at its headquarters in The Hague. They work with law enforcement agencies in the 28 member states and in other non-EU partner nations to combat serious crime.

They also confirmed that one of the dead was Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, who reportedly blew herself up in the raid.
The alleged ringleader of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is also confirmed to have died in Wednesday's raid. The third body is still being identified.
EU ministers have decided to tighten checks on all people entering Europe.
At present only non-EU nationals and migrants are systematically checked by police at the EU's external borders. But now the EU will extend those database checks to EU citizens too.
Travellers' details will be checked against data in the Schengen Information System (SIS), which lists wanted terror suspects and people linked to organised crime.
Most EU countries are in the Schengen zone - a passport-free travel area. After the Paris attacks it emerged that terror suspects had not been detected at the EU's external borders.
The European Commission has called for the establishment of a Europe-wide intelligence agency.
France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced on Friday that the death toll from the attacks a week ago by suicide bombers and gunmen has risen to 130 people.
Hundreds of people were wounded in the near-simultaneous attacks on Paris bars and restaurants, a concert hall and sports stadium.
France has approved a three-month-long state of emergency.
Islamic State (IS) said it was behind the attacks - the worst in Europe since the 2004 Madrid bombings.
Demonstrations have been banned under France's state of emergency, but dozens of French artists and cultural figures have urged people to make a lot of "noise and light", by turning on music and lights, at 21:20 (20:20 GMT) on Friday to mark the exact time a week ago that the attacks began.
Tributes are paid to the victims of the Paris attacks
Latest updates
Prosecutors have now confirmed the identities of two of the three suspects who died in the seven-hour-long raid in the Rue Cormillon apartment on Wednesday morning.
The prosecutor's office said Hasna Aitboulahcen's passport was found near her body.
Who was Hasna Aitboulahcen?
News that Abaaoud - a well-known face of IS and on international "most wanted" lists - and at least one of his accomplices may have travelled undetected from Syria before carrying out the attacks has raised fears about EU border security.
In Brussels, France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he and fellow ministers agreed that the EU would also tighten security over:
Germany's Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Europe must exchange information on the gun trade. "We can only fight terrorism with a better information exchange," he said.
Special report: In-depth coverage of the attacks and their aftermath
In a stark warning of the dangers facing Europe, Germany's head of domestic intelligence, Hans-Georg Maassen, told the BBC that IS was "starting a terrorist world war".
He said IS had made Europe its enemy and European countries had to "assume something like Paris can happen any time".
He also said he was concerned that Islamist extremists could recruit refugees from Syria, now housed in camps in Germany and other parts of Europe, who may have been trained in the use of weapons during four years of civil war.
IS is a notoriously violent Islamist group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. It has declared its territory a caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law - under its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
IS demands allegiance from all Muslims, rejects national borders and seeks to expand its territory. It follows its own extreme version of Sunni Islam and regards non-believers as deserving of death.
IS projects a powerful image, partly through propaganda and sheer brutality, and is the world's richest insurgent group. It has about 30,000 fighters but is facing daily bombing by a US-led multi-national coalition, which has vowed to destroy it.

The race tracks of Britain are where 15 years ago the Finn cut his motor racing teeth and earned his chance in Formula 1. Now, he comes to the country needing to make an impression for a very different reason - his job is on the line.
This idea will be met with dismay by Raikkonen's many adoring fans. For them, the famously taciturn Finn is some kind of demi-god, a prodigious natural talent made all the more attractive by his anti-establishment persona.
His grumpy team radio messages and willingness to ignore F1's restrictive codes of behaviour have passed into folklore.

On his way to victory for Lotus in Abu Dhabi in 2012, he demanded his race engineer "leave me alone, I know what I'm doing". There is the YouTube video of him falling off the roof of a yacht, apparently drunk. And the time he entered a snowmobile race without Ferrari's permission under the name James Hunt, whom Raikkonen admires, for obvious reasons.
But the reality of Raikkonen's performances on track has been more prosaic recently.
Ferrari are unhappy and have left no-one in any doubt that Raikkonen has to up his game if his contract is to be extended into 2016.
"Kimi's future is in his own hands," says Ferrari's no-nonsense, straight-talking new president, Sergio Marchionne.
All this is beginning to tell on Raikkonen, it would appear.
At the last race in Austria he lambasted an Italian journalist to whose article on his future he had taken exception.
Raikkonen finished his discourse with: "Write what you want; I don't really care." When he had spent the previous minute or so suggesting he rather did.
Raikkonen has always preferred to do his talking on the track. The problem with that is Ferrari do not like what they are hearing. And unless the 35-year-old's performances become a lot more eloquent very soon, he will be out of a job.
What is remarkable about Raikkonen's situation is that it is no more than two months since he and Ferrari seemed to have fallen in love again.
He came into 2015 with serious questions hanging over him, having been crushed by former team-mate Fernando Alonso last season.
Media playback is not supported on this device
In 19 races, Alonso qualified ahead 16 times, and was an average of 0.529 seconds a lap quicker. Raikkonen scored only 34.2% of the points the Spaniard collected.
Raikkonen - and his fans - blamed this on the way the 2014 Ferrari behaved. The Finn has always been super-sensitive to the way an F1 car handles and needs a car that turns in sharply and quickly to be at his best.
Last year's Ferrari lacked front-end grip, a characteristic Alonso could adapt to, but Raikkonen could not.
From the very first day's running of the 2015 Ferrari, Raikkonen was happier. It had a 'positive' front end, and he felt it was a car he could work with.
The season started well. He was still lagging behind in qualifying compared to new team-mate Sebastian Vettel but the pace deficit was initially about half that to Alonso and otherwise the two were evenly matched.
After strong performances in the first three grands prix, Raikkonen drove an exceptional race in Bahrain, out-shining Vettel, and finishing second, splitting the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
With Hamilton's brakes failing, had the race been a lap or two longer, Raikkonen would have won.
Back in April and early May, Ferrari's only complaint was a wish for Raikkonen to improve his qualifying to stop him compromising his races by having to make up ground at the start. Even then, it was all relative compared to 2014.
However, following Bahrain, Raikkonen finished fifth, sixth and fourth in Spain, Monaco and Canada, in what is undoubtedly F1's second fastest car.
In Montreal, where Vettel climbed from 18th on the grid to finish fifth, Raikkonen threw away third place to Williams's Valtteri Bottas with a spin on his first lap after his pit stop.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Then came the last race in Austria, so far his nadir. Raikkonen qualified 18th after failing to get in a lap in the wet in the first part of qualifying and then crashed out of the race on the first lap, taking Alonso's McLaren with him, when he simply lost control of the car under acceleration in fifth gear.
It was the sort of mistake that would look bad coming from a novice, let alone someone of Raikkonen's standing, and the reaction of team boss Maurizio Arrivabene in the pits, throwing up his arms in exasperation and uttering what looked suspiciously like an expletive, told you all you needed to know.
So what exactly does Marchionne mean when he says Raikkonen's future is in his own hands?
It is not just improving his performances on track, although that would be a start, particularly in qualifying.
His average deficit to Vettel has grown to 0.471secs over the season so far, excluding the three races where circumstances mean a comparison is not possible. In eight races, the only time Raikkonen has qualified ahead was when Vettel had an engine problem in Canada.
In races, things look better, Raikkonen having scored 72 points to Vettel's 120.
But Ferrari want more than just results. As one insider puts it: "He needs to show his commitment by working closely with the team and trying to sort out what his current difficulties are."
In two different qualifying sessions, his chances have been hit by what Raikkonen claimed were miscommunications with the pits, but which Ferrari feel were at least partially the driver's fault.
In Malaysia, he failed to get in a lap in the frantic seconds before a huge rain shower hit, and missed the cut-off for the top 10 shoot-out.
When he blamed the team publicly for that, Arrivabene took him aside for a stern conversation to make it clear he did not want to hear that again.
In Austria, where he qualified 18th in slippery conditions, Raikkonen said his failure was due to his engineers not telling him he did not have time for another go, after he had made a mistake on his first lap. Others said, yes, sure, he should have got in a time in the first place.
For his spin in the race in Canada, Raikkonen blamed a post-pit stop engine mode that gave him an unexpected boost in power. The team point out that this mode is standard and that it caused Vettel no trouble.
Then there was the crash in Austria. Even Alonso called it "strange", so bizarre was it to see Raikkonen lose control in that way.
Ferrari have investigated it and can find nothing wrong with the car, no evidence of contact from anyone else, only a sudden loss of grip. Nothing, in other words, to contradict Alonso's assessment that Raikkonen simply lost it, caught by surprise by a combination of the high torque levels of modern F1 engines and the low-grip track surface at the Red Bull Ring.
In Raikkonen's favour, the tracks coming up - particularly Silverstone and Spa in Belgium - are places where he has excelled in the past. He needs to do so more than ever now.
Officially, Ferrari insist no final decision has been on Raikkonen's future.
"There are many, many things to consider and now is too early to tell him something or to decide something," Arrivabene says.
"I could look too defensive or protecting Kimi, but we are not even halfway through the season.
"Try to be in my position, and [imagine the effect of] going to Kimi to say you are out or you are in or whatever. I want the guys to be concentrated on what they are doing and to give the maximum."
This is not, clearly, a ringing endorsement, but it tallies with the official line that Ferrari have plenty of time to make up their minds.
However, sources close to the team say that the decision to drop Raikkonen has effectively already been taken - and only a remarkable turnaround in form over the next three or four races will change their minds.
If Ferrari do let him go, that is likely to be the end of Raikkonen's F1 career, for he has already said he will not go to another team if Ferrari do not want him.
Who would Ferrari replace Raikkonen with? Their number one choice is Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. According to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, Ferrari "had a sniff" at the Australian last year, before plumping for Vettel, but did not go as far as offering any money.
Ricciardo negotiated a new contract with Red Bull over the winter that locks him to the team until 2018, and Horner says they would not consider selling him.
But if Ferrari come calling, Red Bull may have no choice. You can't make a man work where he does not want to and, given the problems with Red Bull's Renault engine at the moment, Ricciardo might well fancy a change. Plus, Ferrari has a lure like no other team, and Ricciardo has Italian heritage.
As a parenthetical point, Ricciardo leaving might actually do Red Bull a favour in the long term, as with two young drivers in him and Daniil Kvyat at the lead team, and two highly promising novices in Carlos Sainz Jr and Max Verstappen in Toro Rosso, there is a bit of a logjam in the Red Bull staircase of talent at the moment.
Ferrari's main concern about Ricciardo is the potentially destabilising effect signing him might have on Vettel. Ricciardo out-shone the four-time champion last year at Red Bull and Ferrari are very happy with Vettel and might prefer not to rock the boat.
If it's not Ricciardo, their second choice is Force India's Nico Hulkenberg.
Their interest in Bottas, which peaked last autumn, has waned, because he is struggling this year to out-pace team-mate Felipe Massa, who was dropped by Ferrari in 2013 after four seasons of being made to look ordinary by Alonso and was evenly matched with Raikkonen when they were team-mates from 2007-9.
They are also facing pressure from their Mexican sponsors to promote Mexican reserve driver Esteban Gutierrez, however unqualified the former Sauber man appears to be for a race seat at F1's biggest and most famous team.

With the news that Silverstone's owner, the British Racing Drivers' Club, has activated a break clause to cease hosting the race after 2019, would a home-grown winner lift the doom and gloom around F1's most famous circuit?
Jim Clark and Alain Prost may sit top of the pile with five British Grand Prix victories each, but Lewis Hamilton can draw level on Sunday - and equal Clark's record of four in a row.
With Valtteri Bottas picking up steam in Austria and Sebastian Vettel still ahead in the championship, predict who you think will be front of the grid.

Question: New Zealand's economic development minister has been hit by a sex toy while speaking at an event for Waitangi Day, a national commemoration.

Nurse Josie Butler yelled "That's for raping our sovereignty" when she threw what appeared to be a large rubber penis at Steven Joyce's face.
She said it was a protest against the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, signed in Auckland on Thursday.
Mr Joyce was unhurt and later took to Twitter to make a joke of the incident.
Prime Minister John Key had pulled out of attending the event amid a row about New Zealand's role in the TPP.
New Zealand's national day marks the 1840 signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which made New Zealand a part of the British Empire and guaranteed rights to the indigenous Maori population, although many were not fully respected.
Mr Joyce did not appear to be harmed by the missile, which hit him in the face as he was talking to reporters.
Ms Butler was taken away by police, but is reportedly now out of custody with no charges laid against her.
The minister himself appeared to take it in good humour, suggesting that a popular gif made of the incident be sent to the US Daily Show comedian John Oliver - known for making jokes about New Zealand - "so we can get it over with".
The demonstration also led to numerous humorous responses on social media, with some dubbing it #dildogate.
Prime ministers usually attend Waitangi Day events at the invitation of the Maori trustees of the Te Tii Marae land, on which the Waitangi Treaty was signed.
But Mr Key pulled out of attending on Thursday after the trustees told him he would not be allowed to discuss politics at the signing location.
The dispute centred on the TPP, a 12-nation trade pact which has angered many Maori who say it surrenders national sovereignty that should be guaranteed by the treaty.
Signing it days before Waitangi Day was also seen as insensitive.
Other activists have also criticised the deal for, they say, undermining environmental, social and other protections.
Ms Butler, who has campaigned against the deal, told media the TPP would increase the price of medicines and undermine public healthcare.

The trade deal, signed on Thursday, has angered Maori activists who say they were not consulted and that it surrenders national sovereignty.
Waitangi Day, on Saturday, marks the signing of New Zealand's founding document, the Waitangi Treaty in 1840.
It set out the terms of British colonisation with the Maori population.
Maori leaders traditionally invite the prime minister to the signing site, Te Tii Marae which is on Maori land, to mark the day.
But this year, some had said Mr Key should not be at the event, happening on Friday.
They say the 12-nation free-trade deal violates the terms of the Waitangi Treaty, and that signing it days before the national day was insensitive.
After a community dispute, an invitation was issued to Mr Key, but on the condition he did not talk about politics at the main event, only in a separate tent.
Mr Key said in response: "I can't go and I won't go to Waitangi with a gagging order on me."
He also accused Maori leaders of encouraging violent protests against him.
"It's a little bit frustrating because it's all Mickey Mouse if you ask me, but the Mickey Mouse-ness of it is sitting on their side, I'm sorry," he told local media earlier.
Local Maori chief Kingi Taurua described Mr Key's likely non-attendance as "a blessing for us" and blamed him for not consulting the Maori community on the TPP.
"I think John Key has been trying to look for a reason for why he doesn't want to come. So he's using us again as that very reason," he told stuff.co.nz.
Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi made New Zealand a part of the British Empire. It guaranteed Maori land rights and the rights of British subjects, though many of the terms were later ignored.
Waitangi Day events have frequently been an occasion for protests by Maori activists, some of which have led to physical confrontations, including a minor assault by two men on Mr Key in 2009. There is typically a large police presence at the event.
This will not be the first time a prime minister has chosen not to attend.
Helen Clark skipped it in 2001, and again from 2005 until 2008, after being jostled at a particularly boisterous protest there in 2004. Mr Key criticised her non-attendance in 2008.

Question: Warnings of heavy rain, flooding and high winds are in place for parts of Scotland until Thursday afternoon.

Met Office yellow "be aware" warnings for rain covers from 18:00 Wednesday to 08:00 Thursday and winds of up to 80mph from 21:00 Wednesday to 15:00 Thursday.
The heaviest rain has been forecast for Scotland's southern uplands and southern and central Highlands.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has issued four flood alert and nine flooding warnings.
They cover parts of Tayside, Dumfries, the Borders and Ayrshire and Arran.
Flooding has already affected parts of Perthshire and also the south of Scotland.
Winds gusting to 80mph have been forecast for the Western Isles between Wednesday and Thursday. High winds have also been forecast for the Northern Isles.
Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne said 25 of its 26 services have been disrupted. Wednesday's Barra to South Uist and Colonsay services have been cancelled.
The company said it had altered its timetable to capitalise on periods of calmer weather to help people get home and for supplies to be delivered to island communities.
Director of operations Drew Collier said: "We have pulled out all the stops to ensure people travelling to these destinations can get home to their friends and family in time for the celebrations."
Meanwhile, the Scottish government has warned that climate change is likely to increase the frequency and severity of flooding.
Its new report, Mapping Flood Disadvantage in Scotland 2015, suggests that urgent action is needed to address the risks to highly vulnerable communities exposed to flooding.
The report recommends that local authorities work closely with third sector organisations to help communities cope with floods.

Question: Terry Gilliam says he is resurrecting his troubled Don Quixote film because it is "a dream nightmare" he wants to be rid of.

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

"I want to get this film out of my life," he told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival.
Filming on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote will resume in October, with Michael Palin as Quixote and Star Wars's Adam Driver as Sancho Panza.
Previous attempts to make it collapsed, leading it to be described as jinxed.
Gilliam dismissed the notion of a curse, saying it was no more than "a good story".
Former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko will star in the film as the boss of Driver's character, a commercials director who is mistaken for Panza by Quixote.
Gilliam, 75, said he was also open to giving a cameo role to Johnny Depp, who was involved in the film when it was abandoned in 2000.
Palin, he went on, would be "perfect" for a character he described as "old, ridiculous, arrogant and foolish".
Yet he insisted the 73-year-old's casting as Miguel de Cervantes' ageing dreamer would not lead to a reprise of the Pythons' famous Spanish Inquisition sketch.
Nor would Gilliam tolerate casting other members of the Monty Python team, claiming they were "too old and miserable" and "impossible" to work with.
The collapse of the film in 2000 was charted in the 2002 documentary Lost in La Mancha, which showed how a combination of bad weather and illness led to it being aborted.
According to Portuguese producer Paulo Branco, though, the film's latest iteration will not permit a documentary crew on set.
"I want Terry the director, not Terry the actor," he said, insisting the film's 17m euro (£13.1m) budget would be "all on the screen".
With filming due to take place in Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands at the beginning of October, a bullish Gilliam insisted he would be "home by Christmas" and be "back in Cannes next year with the finished film".
"This [year] is the 400th anniversary of the death of Cervantes and we can't wait any longer," he went on.
French actor Jean Rochefort had been set to star opposite Depp in the film, only to be forced to withdraw by a back injury.
Robert Duvall and Ewan McGregor were subsequently linked to the project, as were Sir John Hurt and Jack O'Connell.
Gilliam admitted "many different people" had "come and gone over the years", but said he had "finally got the perfect cast".
Driver, he went on, was "who [he'd] been looking for all these years", as well as being "bankable" due to his link to the Star Wars franchise.
Not only that, said Gilliam, but he was "actually reading the book" - the first actor to be involved in the production, he claimed, who had ever bothered to do so.

Every year there are countless disappointed runners-up in the race for the greatest prize in showbiz.
Sadder still are the vast majority of movie makers that never even get nominated for an industry gong.
But the unluckiest of all are those whose hard work doesn't even make it on to the big screen.
One director that knows how it feels to have his creative vision canned is Oley Sassone.
His infamous 1994 movie The Fantastic Four - charting the origins of the Marvel Comics superheroes - remained hidden from public view for more than two decades.
'Kicked in the gut'
"I remember exactly where I was when I got the call," he says, recalling when he was told the film would never be shown to the public.
"I was driving down San Vicente Boulevard in Los Angeles, and I literally had to pull over by the side of the road to take a few deep breaths. It was like getting kicked in the gut by a mule. I'd worked so hard.
"The film's exec Producer Bernd Eichinger sat me down and said: 'Oley, I'm sorry, but we can't release the movie. There's a contractual agreement'.
"And then a lightbulb went off in my head. I realised we had been made to get it into production by a certain date otherwise Constantin Films would lose the rights to the Fantastic Four franchise.
"That was the agreement with Marvel. The movie just had to be made, it didn't have to be shown."
The Fantastic Four is one of a surprisingly common number of movies made each year that stay locked within the vaults of its copyright holders.
And it's not just legal reasons that keep these films from ever seeing the light of day. The most common cause is the death of a key actor before filming is completed.
Thriller Dark Blood was six scenes short of being finished when its star River Phoenix died of a drug overdose in 1993.
Director George Sluizer deemed there to be enough footage to cobble together a final cut, but despite a warm critical reception when it premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival in 2012 to a private audience, the film has never been given an official release.
Hidden away
Some movies stay unreleased simply because they run out of money - like All American Massacre, the 1998 sequel to horror classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Even though the entire film has been shot, to this day director William Hooper has been unable to raise the mere $8,000 (£6,400) needed to finish post-production.
And some films fall at the final hurdle because they're just plain awful, like 2013 fantasy satire Gods Behaving Badly.
Not even a stellar cast including Christopher Walken, Susan Sarandon and Alicia Silverstone could stop critics from labelling it as "remarkably feeble" and "unfunny" when it premiered at the Rome Film Festival.
Since then, there have been no further screenings.
Perhaps the most notorious canned movie is The Day The Clown Cried - a wildly misjudged drama about the horrors of the Holocaust starring comedian Jerry Lewis.
Filmed in 1972, Lewis plays a clown imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, entertaining children on their way to the gas chambers.
He subsequently u-turned on his enthusiasm for the project, but Lewis is known to be in possession of one of the only existing copies of the film.
"You will never see it. No one will ever see it," he told Entertainment Weekly in 2013. "Because I am embarrassed at the poor work."
Such was the furore surrounding The Day The Clown Cried, it has attained an almost mythical status amongst film buffs.
Sassone believes that by keeping movies locked away, it risks drawing more attention than just letting the film be released as normal.
"When people want something that they can't have, it makes them that much more eager to get it," he says. "Rumours swirl about what's in it, and that creates a mystery or a conspiracy. It becomes cultish."
Sassone's Fantastic Four fiasco was chronicled in the 2016 documentary Doomed. The key players quibble over the precise details of why the film never made it to cinemas, but to Sassone what matters most is that those who worked on the movie never got to see it.
"I tried to get them to at least give me a copy, so I had a record of my work," he says. "And they said: 'Sorry, we can't do that, the movie's been confiscated.'
"Thank God, one guy from the studio had it on three-quarter-inch video. It wasn't great quality, it was just a straight transfer to video, but I took it over to a dubbing house in LA to reel off a few VHS copies.
"I'm guessing that some kid working there ran off a few copies for himself, because years later bootlegs started circulating at comic book conventions."
'It does look awful'
In 2015, the film was finally leaked on YouTube and currently holds a 29% approval score on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes.
"People criticise the movie because it looks awful," Sassone says.
"And I agree because it does look awful - but the original movie doesn't look like that. They've only ever seen terrible copies of the movie made from VHS to VHS to VHS. And it pains us because everybody put their heart and soul in to this film.
"It wasn't about the money - what hurt was that we knew we had a hot little film that cost almost nothing to make. We were never completely satisfied with the special effects, but the drama was so true to the original comic book characters."
Meanwhile in 2005, executive producer Eichinger went on to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise in a mega-budget summer blockbuster starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba and Chris Evans. To Sassone's delight, it has a lower Rotten Tomatoes score than his take on the movie.
"Will they be talking about the latter versions of the Fantastic Four in 22 years' time? I dunno," he says. "When we had the premiere of Doomed all these kids came up to us and said: 'Your movie is so much better than all those crappy big budget Fantastic Fours!'
"I asked why and they said: 'Because you hit the characters! It was real.' Obviously we can't compete with the special effects, but it was some vindication after all those years when they said our film was better than the $50m (£40m) versions."
As a hero of hidden Hollywood, perhaps Sassone has achieved a prize greater than winning an Oscar - his movie is the stuff of Hollywood legend.
"It's hard to say how my life would have panned out if the movie had just had a regular release," he muses. "I think I would probably have been offered a studio picture or a bigger movie somewhere.
"Instead I went on to make a lot of television like Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess, so I had a pretty successful career anyway.
"But I always tell people, it's the movie business. Pay attention to the word 'business' - because that's what it is."

Question: Represent the next text

Question: Workplace drug testing has increased significantly in the UK, four leading screening companies have said.

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

They have seen rises in the number of annual tests carried out of between 40% and 470% over four years.
Workers cannot be made to take a drugs test, but if they refuse when the employer has good grounds for testing, they may face disciplinary action.
Business leaders' increased awareness of workplace drug use is a large factor behind the growth, said LGC Group.
It added that the adoption of a drugs-testing policy is "mainly due to insurance purposes".
The four companies are Alere, Synergy Health, LGC Group and BioClinics. The last two saw rises of 100% and 470% respectively over the four years in the number of drugs tests they conduct annually, although they started from a smaller base.
Lianne Gray, LGC Group's strategic account manager for occupational drug testing, said employees in safety-critical roles - such as operating heavy machinery or driving - and government agencies were most likely to be screened.
But she said there was a growing trend for drug testing to be conducted in "more normalised industries", including retail and health companies, as businesses look to "safeguard not only the business, but also the reputation in the field they work in".
Ms Gray said there had been changes in the types of drugs for which businesses wished to screen.
"Traditionally we see requests for amphetamines, cocaine, cannabis, opiates," she said. "Now we're seeing more requests for things like ketamine, steroids, and also for novel psychoactive substances -  or legal highs as they're otherwise known."
Under current law, businesses must have the consent of employees whom they wish to screen for drugs, and usually this will be in the contract or staff handbook.
Drugs testing is normally performed at random. It is also sometimes enforced prior to employment, on cause - following an accident or incident - or on suspicion.
Stobart Group, which includes the well-known Eddie Stobart haulage business, introduced a drugs-testing policy three years ago.
The services and infrastructure company, which operates London Southend Airport, screens not only its hundreds of truckers but all its employees, including shop workers.
Director of safety and compliance Neil Marston said: "We want to maintain a safe working environment for all our staff. But also for our customers, our visitors who pass through our premises. We're also very proud of our brand and want to protect it."
The increases in drug testing have angered civil liberties groups, who say that the practice is an invasion of people's privacy outside of safety critical roles.
Niamh Eastwood from the drugs advice charity, Release, said they frequently took calls from people who had falsely tested positive for drugs.
Eating poppy seed bread for instance can indicate the presence of opiates in some tests.
She said another problem is that although drug tests may indicate what substances are in the system, they do not indicate if a worker's performance is likely to be affected.

LGC Forensics, the biggest commercial provider, said the private sector was ready to take on the work of the FSS, but expressed concern that the forensics market was shrinking.
The government announced last year that the FSS would close, with as many of its operations as possible being transferred or sold off.
The government wants private enterprise, which currently makes up 40% of the market, to fill the gap left behind by the FSS.
But some experts are concerned that an over-emphasis on profits could threaten the quality of science.
The FSS analyses evidence from crime scenes in England and Wales, but has been losing about £2m a month.
In a written submission to the inquiry, Steve Allen, the managing director of LGC Forensics, commented: "The closure of the FSS will not damage the prospects for forensic science in the UK so long as its wind-down is properly implemented and is used by the government as an opportunity to support a properly regulated market of a sufficient size to enable competition between dedicated market participants."
The Home Office has tasked the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) with managing the gradual wind down of the FSS.
Written evidence from David Hartshorne and Roger Derbyshire, directors at commercial provider Cellmark, said there would be no negative impacts on the quality or impartiality of forensic evidence.
"Forensic scientists in the private sector have exactly the same motivation to support the criminal justice system and the victims of crime as those in the public sector," they said.
"[Private sector scientists'] ethics and impartiality are independent of the organisation for whom they work; and ultimately, when they stand in the witness box to provide evidence, they are representing themselves rather than the company that employs them."
In a written response to parliamentary questions on 1 February, Crime Reduction Minister James Brokenshire said advice from ACPO, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) and others suggested that the UK forensics market would contract from £170 million in 2009 towards about £110 million by 2015.
In addition, police forces have been bringing forensic work in-house, in order to make cost savings. And commentators say this could pose an impediment to the future expansion of the private forensics market.
Some forensic scientists have expressed dismay at the FSS's closure, voicing concerns about the quality of science, the retention of expertise and the future of forensic research and development (R&D) once the service is closed down.
In a letter to New Scientist magazine in January, Professor Alec Jeffreys, who pioneered the technique of genetic fingerprinting at the University of Leicester, said the decision to close the FSS could not be in the interests of justice.
"Who will provide the expertise for complex and interdisciplinary investigations, and who will develop and refine new technologies? The private sector is most unlikely to fill this void," he wrote.
As reported by BBC News last month, Peter Gill, professor of forensic genetics at the University of Oslo, said there was a mismatch between the government's aim to commercialise forensic science and the requirement of courts for openness.
He added that UK courts would not accept forensic tests whose details were kept secret due to commercial confidentiality issues.
Mr Brokenshire has said that the Forensic Science Regulator should ensure that quality standards are maintained. This course is questioned by Prospect union, which represents scientists and engineers, in their evidence to the inquiry.
"Currently the forensic science regulator sits in the Home Office, but... Prospect understands that there are very limited powers and no statutory influence," the union wrote.
It added: "Additional regulatory powers will be needed to ensure that there is a level playing field between police forces and private contractors. It will also be essential to ensure that forensic science practitioners have recognisable and respected qualifications and a professional code of ethics."
Professor Allan Jamieson, director of the Forensic Institute in Glasgow, which is a commercial supplier of forensic services, said there was "no reason to expect that, if properly managed, this market cannot deliver the required service at a fair price".
But he highlighted the need for the involvement of the wider scientific community in UK forensic science to prevent it from becoming isolated.
"It cannot be known whether any provider has met the scientific standard if there is no scientific research to measure the standard against," he wrote in his submission.
"Perhaps properly funding this essential research is the obvious, logical, and necessary step to prevent the feared decline of standards in forensic science."
The FSS is headquartered in Birmingham, with a number of laboratories around England and Wales; it has already closed laboratories at Chepstow and central Birmingham to help bring costs under control. The service previously employed about 1,600 staff.

Question: An NHS mental health services provider has been upgraded from "inadequate" to "good" following a recent inspection.

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust was criticised by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in March 2015.
A re-inspection in April this year found it had made "positive progress" in some areas, but improvements were still needed.
The safety of patients at high risk of suicide had been deemed inadequate but has now been improved.
The trust currently has about 27,000 patients across the county and more than 2,000 members of staff.
Dr Paul Lelliott, deputy chief inspector of hospitals for the CQC, said there was now "good care" for the population served by the trust.
"We saw staff treating patients with kindness, dignity and respect," he said.
The use of volunteers and therapy dogs was praised, as was the patient-run cafÃ© and the range of paid job opportunities, including gardening and car valeting.
In March 2015 patients at risk of suicide were found not to be kept safe, but the trust said it now monitors "ligature risks", which are fixed points which someone could use to harm themselves.
"Heat maps" are also used to show patients at high risk of suicide.
Dr John Brewin, trust chief executive, said: "I am pleased that the work of all of our staff has been reflected.
"Our staff have a real focus on providing high-quality care for our patients and this latest report is testament to that commitment."
Improvements are needed in the areas of care plans, staff supervision, bed availability and delays in patients accessing psychological therapies, the CQC said.
The trust was also found to have good relationships with the community and police.

The Barn Surgery in Christchurch was criticised by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection in May last year.
A new inspection in February found the practice had made a "significant number of improvements".
The surgery is now rated "good" overall, the CQC said.
But it still "requires improvement" in the assessment category for "being effective".

Question: Russian whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova says she fears for her life after the account containing details of her location was hacked.

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

Stepanova, 30, is in hiding with her family after helping to expose Russian state-sponsored doping.
On Saturday the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) said the 800m runner's account had been accessed illegally.
"If something happens to us then you should know that it is not an accident," Stepanova said.
Wada's Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS) allows athletes to enter information about their whereabouts from anywhere in the world to help the agency co-ordinate testing.
Stepanova and husband Vitaly, a former Russian anti-doping official, are living in a secret location after she provided evidence for Wada's report into Russian doping.
That led to Russia's athletics team being banned from Rio 2016 Olympics.
Stepanova, who served a two-year ban for blood passport abnormalities in 2013, said she has moved her family, including her young son, to another location after the account was hacked.
"The only reason somebody would hack an ADAMS account is to find out your exact location," Stepanova told journalists on a conference call. "We decided it was safer to relocate."
She also told a CBC journalist: "We have made plans with certain people that if something should happen to us they take care of our son."

For the past two years she, her husband Vitaly and their three year old son, Robert have been on the run. They live in secret, fearing for their lives, after the couple exposed one of the greatest sporting scandals of all time - Russia's state sponsored doping programme.
In a rare interview at an undisclosed location in the US, Stepanova spoke to BBC 100 Women about the cheating, cover-ups and life on the run.
Born in the twilight years of the Soviet Union, Stepanova was brought up in Kursk, eight hours drive south west of Moscow. Her childhood, spent on the edge of an industrial estate, was far from idyllic. Her father, who worked in a tyre factory, drank and regularly beat her, her mother and her two sisters.
Athletics was Stepanova's escape. As a teenager she would practise high jumps at the local Victoria Athletics Club. Her first coach, Vera Ivanova, remembers a girl who was "serious and focused", but Stepanova says her father resented the amount of time she devoted to sport. He wanted her to help with digging and planting on the family's vegetable patch.
Stepanova switched from high jumps to middle distance running, and by the age of 20 she had begun to excel, winning regional races. Her performance reached even higher levels when her coach, Vladimir Mokhnev, suggested testosterone injections to help her recover her strength after a serious chest infection.
"I knew it was banned," she says, "but I think my coach prepared me well because he was telling me stories about how it's normal, that's what all athletes do."
Soon she was onto more potent substances, including anabolic steroids which initially made her muscles so stiff she could hardly walk.
Once she was on the Russian national team, Stepanova was sent to Dr Sergei Portugalov, a top sports scientist accused in a 2015 report by the World Anti-Doping Agency of being "very active in the conspiracy to cover up athletes' positive tests in exchange for a percentage of their winnings".
"He told me, 'Don't worry, even if you are tested, you just send me the number of your test results and I'll sort it, so you can sleep soundly'," she says.
But at a race meeting on the River Volga in 2009 she came across one person in the system who wasn't prepared to turn a blind eye. Vitaly Stepanov was an idealistic young officer employed by Rusada, Russia's anti-doping agency.
A dirty athlete and a crusader for clean sport made an unlikely combination. At first she mocked him for his naivety. She told him that all her fellow athletes were doping and that his agency, far from tackling the abuse, often helped to cover it up.
The couple got married just two months after their first date. Despite their differences and frequent rows over Stepanova's continued doping, they stuck together. Eventually, though, she got a two year suspension after irregularities were detected in her biological passport.

Stepanova could have kept a low profile, continue to cash her pay cheques and, after the ban, return to the national team. Instead she decided to write a 10-page confession about everything she had done and witnessed. She sent it to the World Anti-Doping Agency, but her letter was ignored, like those that her husband had previously written. She realised she needed more proof.
So she began secretly taping her coaches, her doctor and fellow athletes on her mobile phone.
The recordings, in which several people discuss their use of illegal drugs, were given to a German filmmaker. Before his documentary aired in November 2014 the Stepanovs fled their country.
The explosive material Stepanova collected set off a chain of investigations which ultimately led to a ban on the entire Russian track and field team from the Rio Olympic Games. While her whistleblowing has earned her praise in much of the world, in Russia many call her a traitor.
After a few months in Germany the Stepanovs moved to the US. Not surprisingly she doesn't want me to name the place where I interviewed her.
She now fears for her life and doubts she will ever be able to return home. Her anxiety increased this summer after her electronic account at the World Anti-Doping Agency was hacked revealing her whereabouts and forcing her to move to another location.
Until recently the Stepanovs have had virtually no support or money to help them rebuild their lives. But Yuliya has few regrets.
"I don't consider myself a traitor, I didn't reveal any scientific secrets," she says.
"I simply revealed the shameful truth, which our country doesn't want to confront, and the only reason I told the truth about it all, was to try and put a stop to it."

Question: British troops are to be sent to support Nato operations in Kosovo, the defence secretary has said.

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

Sir Michael Fallon said about 30 soldiers would travel early next year to join the Nato Kosovo Force (Kfor) on a 12-month deployment.
He said "significant security and stability challenges" remained in the western Balkans.
Set up in 1999, Kfor is tasked with maintaining safety, security and freedom of movement in Kosovo.
The British soldiers will be based in the Kosovan capital, Pristina, and support Kfor's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
Sir Michael said: "Nato remains a cornerstone of our defence. By continuing to defend the security of Europe, Britain's security is strengthened at home."

Nato says that as the security situation in Kosovo has gradually improved, Kfor has become a "smaller and more flexible force".
The force now comprises about 4,300 troops from 30 countries.

This includes as many as 40 military advisers who will train soldiers in Mali, and 200 British soldiers to be sent to neighbouring African countries, also to help train the Malian army.
French-led forces are continuing their offensive against Islamist militants who seized northern Mali last year.
International donors have pledged $455.53m (£289m) to tackle militants.
The 330 military personnel comprise 200 soldiers going to West African nations, 40 military advisers to Mali, and 90 support crew for a C-17 transport aircraft and a Sentinel R1 surveillance plane. None will have a combat role.
A conference taking place in Brussels is expected to decide which countries will contribute troops for an EU military training mission for Mali and discuss details of the mission.
Meanwhile, French-led troops are consolidating their position in the historic Malian city of Timbuktu after seizing it from Islamist extremists. They are then expected to focus on the last rebel stronghold, Kidal. They seized Gao, northern Mali's biggest city, on Saturday.
In a separate development, Downing Street said UK Prime Minister David Cameron was to visit neighbouring Algeria on Wednesday.
The trip comes in the wake of a hostage crisis that left four Britons and a UK resident dead and two Britons believed dead. During the siege, one statement purporting to be from the hostage-takers called for an end to the French military intervention against Islamist militants in Mali.
Detailing in the House of Commons the "extended support" the UK will offer France, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said it would:
The UK also offered to set up a combined joint logistics HQ in Mali. However, so far the French have declined this offer.
UK shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy said there were concerns about "mission creep".
"The UK commitment to Mali has grown from lending the French two transport aircraft to the deployment of perhaps hundreds of troops to the region," he said.
"UK trainers may be non-combat but that does not mean they are without risk."
But Mr Hammond stressed: "It is not our intention to deploy combat troops. We are very clear about the risks of mission creep.
By Jonathan BealeDefence correspondent, BBC News
So does this move by the UK signal a new era of defence co-operation - the fruit of the defence treaty signed by Mr Cameron and the then French President Nicholas Sarkozy at Lancaster House just a few years ago? Well, yes and no.
British and French forces have already carried out a number of joint military exercises. They've also worked together in battle - most recently joining forces in the overthrow of Libya's Colonel Gaddafi.
But Libya was fought under the Nato umbrella. And Mali is clearly being led by the French. It's not a truly joint operation, or a sign that in the future Britain will always intervene with the French, or vice versa.
It's more an old fashioned "coalition of the willing", based on the shared threat posed by Islamic radicals. Ultimately British and French commanders are not sitting down together in a joint operations room calling the shots.
And when British troops do arrive on the ground in Mali - in relatively small numbers - they'll be working as part of an EU mission.
"We have defined very carefully the support that we are willing to provide to the French and the Malian authorities."
Number 10 is also considering who will provide "force protection" for the military advisers. At present, it is envisaged the force protection will not be provided by British soldiers. It is possible existing French forces in Mali could be used.
Former defence minister Sir Nick Harvey warned the number of personnel involved could rise if the UK had to provide its own force protection.
"If they (the military advisers) are spread out in different locations providing technical advice to different aspects of the Malian forces then those numbers will begin to climb quite rapidly," he said.
Military analyst Col Mike Dewar said the initial UK support was short-term but its latest offer of help constituted a "much more long-term plan".
It could take "years" for the British troops to make a difference to the "ill-trained" Malian army, he said.
The former head of the Army, General Sir Mike Jackson, backed the government's position but warned that nations involved may face a "protracted guerrilla warfare".

Question: UK astronaut Tim Peake is preparing to run the distance of the London Marathon on a treadmill in the International Space Station (ISS).

To counteract the effects of weightlessness, he will use a harness to keep him on the running belt.
He will run the standard 42km (26.2mi) distance, starting at the the same time as other competitors on 24 April.
"I'm really looking forward to this - it's a great challenge," said Major Peake.
"I'm quite glad that this is happening later on in the mission so I've had plenty of time to get used to the T2 treadmill."
Elastic straps over the shoulders and round the waist will keep Major Peake in contact with the running belt of the treadmill, located in the station's Tranquility Node.
The straps are designed to generate the foot force necessary to give astronauts' bones and muscles a workout in weightlessness.
He said: "One of the biggest challenges is the harness system. Obviously, my bodyweight has to be firmly attached to the treadmill by this harness, and that can rub on the shoulders and around the waist."
Major Peake said he had already run some half-marathons on the ISS treadmill and longer distances.
The Chichester-born astronaut ran the London Marathon in 1999, finishing in three hours, 18 minutes and 50 seconds.
But he will not try to beat that time as his medical team wants to ensure he is perfectly healthy for his return to Earth in June.
The ISS is circling the Earth at a relative velocity of 28,800km/h (17,900mph), so Major Peake is likely to cover about 100,000km (60,000mi) during his run.
He said he did not think he would be setting any personal bests, but said he would aim to complete the course in under four hours.
Major Peake will start running at the same time as the other runners: 10:00 GMT on 24 April.

Scott has become the longest-serving American astronaut in space, after living on board the International Space Station for 340 days.
Kelly's mission will help Nasa to understand the long-term effects that living in space has on the body.
The results will help them with their long-term research, where they hope to send humans to live on Mars.
British Astronaut Tim Peake joined Kelly on board the ISS last year.
Scott Kelly will return back to Earth on Wednesday, landing in a remote part of Kazakhstan.

Question: Internationally renowned Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko has donated 1m roubles (£12,000; $19,000) to a theatre in rebel-held eastern Ukraine and posed with a rebel flag.

Netrebko said her gift to the Donetsk opera and ballet theatre was "a step to support art where it is needed now".
Russian Channel 5 TV showed her giving the cheque to Oleg Tsarev, a leader of the armed separatists in Donetsk.
Russian government support for the rebels has been denounced by the West.
The famous soprano made her donation in St Petersburg, where she is a star of the Mariinsky Theatre. She said performers in Donetsk were struggling on with their art despite the freezing cold.
Other top names in Russian culture have also voiced support for President Vladimir Putin's stance on Ukraine, notably the government's annexation of Crimea and support for the pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk.
The Russian celebrities backing the Kremlin over Ukraine include variety singer Iosif Kobzon, film director Nikita Mikhalkov, conductor Valery Gergiev and viola virtuoso Yuri Bashmet.

The Russian president and former Italian premier spent last weekend in Crimea touring ancient ruins.
Prosecutors say they drank at Crimea's renowned Massandra winery.
Massandra was Ukrainian government property before Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014.
Any charges could not currently be pursued in Crimea, where Russia has full control.
Russian media cited by Radio Free Europe reported that Berlusconi asked if he could sample the wine during a tour of Massandra.
A witness said Massandra's new pro-Russian director Yanina Pavlenko in response uncorked a precious bottle of 1775 Jeres de la Frontera for her prestigious guests.
Russian television last week showed Mr Berlusconi carefully surveying dust-covered bottles of wine while the Russian leader listened to Ms Pavlenko as she gave them the tour.
Later, the Italian billionaire is seen looking at a bottle identified to be from the vintage of 1891, and asked in English: "Is it possible to drink?"
The director replied: "Yes."
It is unclear what happened to that bottle, but Ukrainian prosecutors say the bottle they are concentrating on was worth more than $90,000 (Â£58,000). They say they are preparing embezzlement charges against Ms Pavlenko.
"This is one of the five bottles that constitute not only Massandra's or Crimea's heritage, but the heritage of all Ukrainian people,'' Nazar Kholodnytsky, first deputy prosecutor for Crimea told the Associated Press news agency in Kiev.
He said two bottles similar to the one allegedly consumed were auctioned in London in 2001 and one fetched nearly $49,700 (Â£32,000; â‚¬44,000).
"The funds went to the state coffers and supported the development of Massandra and wine-making in Crimea," Mr Kholodnytsky said.
Ms Pavlenko's predecessor as governor, Nikolay Boyko, was dismissed in February after Russian prosecutors filed fraud charges against him.
The new governor is herself wanted in Ukraine for treason after she voted in favour of Russian annexation in 2014.
"Now she's added one more crime to high treason," Mr Kholodnytsky said.
Mr Putin and Berlusconi enjoyed good personal relations when the Italian leader was in power, which they have maintained since he left office in 2011.

Question: Within days of an Iranian missile test and a subsequent warning from the Trump administration, the US has now followed up by imposing a new round of economic sanctions.

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

The sanctions focus upon suppliers to Iran's missile programme and groups that help to arm what Washington sees as terror organisations in the region.
It is hard to see what practical impact these sanctions will have, since few of these organisations or individuals probably do business in the United States.
But the sanctions sends a clear warning to Tehran the guard has changed in Washington.
The Obama administration saw its relationship with Iran largely through the prism of the need to negotiate a deal to constrain Tehran's nuclear programme.
Iran's regional activities - support for Hamas and Hezbollah, military support for the Assad regime, backing of the Houthis in Yemen, and its growing influence in Iraq  - were all played down to ensure that the nuclear deal might go ahead.
For the Obama team, restraining Iran's nuclear activities was the overarching goal.
This was seen as an end in itself, one that might stave off military action, but also a step that might, over time, also lead Iran away from its relative economic isolation towards an improved relationship with the West.
Opinion was deeply divided on the nuclear deal.
The US and its major western allies, along with Russia, saw merit in the nuclear agreement that effectively "kicked the can down the road", postponing any confrontation with Tehran over its nuclear programme.
Washington's regional allies though - countries like Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, who have watched Tehran's rise with alarm - were much less impressed.
And many of them may well have been hoping that the Trump team - which includes several vocal opponents of Tehran - might seek to undo the agreement.
Things are a little more complex than that. On a recent trip to Israel's major annual security conference last week, many experts and officials there took the view that a bad deal, if properly implemented, might be better than no deal at all.
What worries Israelis is the fact that Iran is now becoming a major player in the region.
Its support for the Assad regime in Syria and the deployment of its allies - Hezbollah and various Shia militias, supported by officers from its Revolutionary Guard Corps - has provided Tehran with at least the opportunity to establish its allies on a long border with Israel from the Mediterranean Sea through Lebanon and Syria - all the way to the Jordanian frontier.
Jordan too is concerned, as are several of the Gulf states, which explains their quiet strategic rapprochement with Israel.
The irony in all of this is that it was largely US military power that established the conditions for Iran's rise to regional prominence.
By deposing its archenemy Saddam Hussein and reducing Iraq to a minor military player with many other security problems on its plate - Washington opened the door to the expansion of Iranian influence in the region.
A further irony is that in supporting the Iraqi government's efforts against so-called Islamic State, the US is objectively allied with Tehran, with several Iranian-influenced Shia militias fighting in the same campaign.
The Obama administration's failure to countenance the forced removal of Syria's President Assad and its inept and half-hearted efforts to arm and train Sunni forces there, again favoured the emerging Shia axis.
So the Trump administration comes to office with a desire fundamentally to change Washington's stance towards Tehran. These sanctions are but the first step.
A declaration that Iran is now "on notice", in the words of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, may sound good, but it doesn't amount to a policy.
What real steps does the Trump team envisage?
Is it ready to back - albeit reluctantly - the nuclear accord while monitoring stringently Iran's behaviour?
What wider international support can the US gather for tougher action against Tehran's missile programme - which it insists it is entitled to pursue?
On the face of it here the US may have a point. UN Security council resolution 2231 calls on Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering a nuclear weapon.
A US National Security Council briefing earlier this week noted that ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering a payload of at least 500kg to a range of 300km are inherently able to deliver nuclear weapons.
"There should be no doubt," the briefing went on , "that the United States is committed to holding Iran accountable for adhering to missile restrictions and accountable for behaviour in the region that we consider to be destabilising."
But what exactly does the Trump Administration mean by phrases like "holding Iran to account"?
These are two countries whose warships potentially come into close proximity in Gulf waters every day. Tensions could spark a major confrontation. Is Washington on a collision course with Tehran?
Its rhetoric might suggest so. But it is President Trump's actions - and of course Iran's own responses - that will determine where things go from here.

It would also diminish President Trump's ability to dismiss sanctions against Russia.
After Russia annexed Crimea and backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, in 2014, the Obama administration in tandem with the European Union introduced an array of economic sanctions on Russian individuals and businesses.
Many of the individuals targeted were linked to Russia's actions in Ukraine or were part of President Vladimir Putin's elite entourage.
Assets were frozen and restrictions imposed on Russia's oil industry, as well as its state finance, technology and arms sectors.
In December 2016, Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in response to what the US intelligence community concluded was a Russian government-backed cyber-attack directed to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Moscow denies the allegation.
Members of the US Congress want to turn existing sanctions, and some new ones, into law.  Both houses have Republican majorities, the same party as the president.
Senators overwhelmingly backed the  bill earlier in June, with only two opposing votes, and it now requires a successful vote in the House of Representatives. It will then go back to the Senate for approval before going to the White House. The new bill also targets Iran and is expected to include North Korea.
President Trump will either sign it into law or reject it with use of a veto. With enough votes, Congress could use its own veto to counter the president.
The bill tightens existing sanctions around the ongoing situation in Ukraine and imposes new measures including some in response to alleged hacking during the 2016 election and others that target key Russian industries such as the railways, shipping, metals and mining. It would also bring in restrictions on companies doing business with the Russian oil industry.
It means getting rid of sanctions will become much harder, and the power to reverse the sanctions effectively moves from the hands of the president to Congress. Previously, the sanctions were introduced as executive orders, which any president has the power to remove instantly.
Under the proposed law, Congress must approve any request from the president to ease the financial penalties detailed in the bill.  In order to waive individual sanctions, a president would need to submit a report to Congress outlining why it is in the national interest to take that action.
The White House says it supports the sanctions legislation. A presidential veto would provoke "a major outcry" among politicians in Washington, wrote Steven Pifer for Brookings, a foreign policy think tank.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, signalled the White House's support for tough sanctions on Russia until the situation in Ukraine was "fully resolved". Without a clear end in sight, that could mean a long time.
James Nixey, head of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House, a foreign policy think tank, says Russia has so far given the president the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Mr Trump's promise to forge better relations between Washington and Moscow. However, these new sanctions may "test their faith" because they are in fact harsher than the sanctions under President Obama.
The law signals a departure from a joint EU-US approach to Russian sanctions. And some European countries have economic concerns because the new law could penalise European companies that invest in big Russian infrastructure projects such as the new Nord Stream II pipeline to transport gas between Russia and Germany.
The German Foreign Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, and Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said this part of the new sanctions programme would add a new negative dimension to US-European relations and Europe's energy supplies were "a matter for Europe, not for the United States".
Germany is said to be pushing for EU sanctions against Russia to be stepped up, according to diplomatic sources quoted in Brussels.
The government in Berlin is said to want four Russian nationals and businesses added to the European bloc's sanctions list after it was revealed gas turbines made by  German technology firm Siemens were illegally shipped to Crimea.  Siemens said it had "credible information" that its equipment had been diverted from its original destination.  Any change in sanctions would have to be agreed by all 28 EU member states.
