Question: Cuban President Raul Castro has called for "civilised relations" with the United States, saying the two countries should respect their differences.

President Castro said the US should drop its demand for regime change on the communist-run island.
That would allow both sides to continue work on improving relations, he said.
Mr Castro's comments follow a public handshake with President Obama at the memorial ceremony for Nelson Mandela in South Africa earlier this month.
In a rare public speech, Mr Castro said Cuban and American officials had met several times over the last year to discuss practical matters, such as immigration and the re-establishment of a postal service.
That shows that relations can be civilised, Mr Castro explained.
But he warned: "If we really want to make progress in bilateral relations, we have to  learn to respect each other's differences and get used to living peacefully with them. Otherwise, no. We are ready for another 55 years like the last."
The US broke off relations in 1961, two years after the revolution, and maintains an economic embargo against the island.
"We do not ask the United States to change its political and social system, nor do we agree to negotiate over ours," Mr Castro told legislators at the closing session of the parliament in the capital, Havana.
Relations between the two neighbours have shown signs of improvement of late, although some stumbling blocks to reconciliation remain, said the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Havana.
Raul Castro, 82, took over from his brother, Fidel, in 2006. Fidel had serious health problems and was never able to come back to power. Two years later, he resigned and transferred control permanently to Raul Castro.
He has since carried out a programme of economic reforms, which has helped efforts for relations with the US to be improved.
But critics say the pace of change has been too slow.
"The reform process in Cuba cannot be rushed or it will lead to failure," Mr Castro warned.
Among the most recent changes announced by Raul Castro is the end of restrictions on private individuals to buy new and second hand cars.
Anyone with enough money will be allowed to order the vehicles from a government dealer.
Until now, only those who were given a previous government authorisation were allowed to buy cars in Cuba.

Among them was Roberto Hernandez.
In a small, dank apartment in a rundown neighbourhood of Havana, I paid him a visit as he was reunited with his family and fellow government opponents.
He said his time in jail had only strengthened his resolve against the Castro government.
"My ideas won't budge," said Mr Hernandez. "If anything, they've hardened a little more. I'm more sure than ever about what I believe."
Mr Hernandez was jailed for five years, and served two, for taking part in a demonstration with the anti-government Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU).
But just as Roberto Hernandez was being released, another dissident was being detained - a graffiti artist called Danilo Maldonado, commonly known as "El Sexto", whose work is unrelentingly critical of the Cuban government.
On this occasion, the authorities decided he had gone too far: he had mocked the leaders of the revolution.
On 25 December 2014, he painted the names Fidel and Raul on two pigs and intended to release them in a plaza in Havana.
His idea was that people would try to catch the pigs and the winner could keep them.
Whether you see it as a cheap publicity stunt or a valid artistic expression, the event was never likely to be allowed to happen in Cuba.
Maldonado was stopped by state security officers before he got to the square and was put in jail, reportedly without trial.
The government say "El Sexto" is a mercenary in the pay of anti-Castro groups in Washington and Miami.
But Amnesty International recently deemed him a prisoner of conscience.
"To jail an artist for painting a name on a pig is ludicrous," said Carolina Jimenez, the organisation's Americas Deputy Director for research.
Now, there is some expectation that Maldonado might be released soon, after he spent days on hunger strike and US President Barack Obama apparently discussed his case in person with Cuban President Raul Castro earlier this year.
No official release date has yet been confirmed.
Either way, the Obama administration will hope he is out soon.
The arrest of what they consider seemingly harmless young opponents does not bolster their argument that engagement with Cuba is the right approach after decades of hostility.
"They're hoping that the Cubans will begin to ease up on human rights and open up politically. That would enormously helpful," says Michael Shifter, of the Inter-American Dialogue organisation  in Washington DC.
"It makes it more difficult for Obama to make his case with Congress on the embargo - which is that it should be lifted - when these kind of practices continue and there is really no sign of significant change so far."
The US broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1959 after Fidel Castro and his brother Raul led a revolution toppling US-backed President Fulgencio Batista. The Castros established a revolutionary socialist state with close ties to the Soviet Union.
The following year, the US imposed a trade embargo covering nearly all exports to Cuba. This was expanded by President Kennedy into a full economic embargo that included stringent travel restrictions.
The embargo is estimated to have cost the Cuban economy more than $1.1trillion, and to cost the US economy $1.2bn a year.
In September, the US announced eased restrictions on business and travel with Cuba, the latest move by President Barack Obama to improve relations with the country.
US businesses will now be allowed to open up locations in Cuba.
Even small overtures by the Castro government towards dialogue with some of the more high-profile human rights activists would go a long way to helping Obama's position, says Mr Shifter.
But he also points out that even the sight of the Cuban government sitting at the negotiating table with the Ladies in White opposition movement or UNPACU activists would not be enough to appease those members of Congress staunchly opposed to lifting the embargo.
Some analysts believe they would "keep changing the goalposts" over human rights and would not back removing the embargo under any conditions.
None of this is necessarily a surprise to Washington.
Raul Castro indicated the one-party system in Cuba was not up for negotiation in his closing speech to parliament in December.
"We shouldn't expect that in order for relations to improve with the US, Cuba is renouncing the ideas for which we have fought for more than a century and for which our people have spilled so much blood and run such great risks," he told the deputies gathered in the chamber, as well as millions of ordinary Cubans watching at home.
Cuba did not not expect the US to change its political system, "so we demand that they respect ours", he said.
A new diplomatic relationship has begun and further economic easing could come with it.
But even if El Sexto is released soon, it is unlikely to herald any new political winds on the island.

Question: Marks and Spencer chief executive Marc Bolland earned more than £2m in the last fiscal year.

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

His salary included a £596,000 bonus, in addition to pension benefits, the company has disclosed.
In its annual report, Marks and Spencer said that because the business met its profit target, it paid bonuses across the company.
The High Street retail giant recently reported its first rise in annual profits in four years.
Last year, Mr Bolland and his executive team had to forgo bonuses, after the company's consistent drop in profits.
The chairman, Robert Swannell, said in the firm's annual report:  "This year, we have seen outstanding performance in some areas of the business, but performance below our expectations in others."
He said the food business had an outstanding year, while the company's international business performance was disappointing.
Steve Rowe, the executive director of the company's food division, earned a £653,000 bonus for the year, with a total package of £1.4m.

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

Mr Lewis, who joined in August 2014 from Unilever, took home a total of £4.63m for 2015/16.
He did not receive a bonus in 2014/15 but was paid £3.3m in lieu of shares forfeited when he left his old role.
The base salary rose by £500,000 to £1.25m and his pension contribution rose £170,000 to £313,000.
The company posted a £162m profit for the year to 27 February - far better than the £6.3bn loss for the previous 12 months.
In a video released with the annual report, Mr Lewis said it had been "a good start in difficult circumstances" to the year.
However, Tesco shares fell sharply last month after Mr Lewis warned that profit improvement would slow in the first half of this year.
The stock has fallen by almost a third in the past 12 months and declined slightly on Friday to 155p.
Chief financial officer Alan Stewart, who joined in 2014 from Marks & Spencer, was awarded a bonus of £1.6m on top of his £750,000 salary to bring his total pay to almost £2.6m.
Both Mr Lewis and Mr Stewart were given 95.7% of the annual bonus available to them under Tesco's remuneration policy.
Half of Mr Lewis's bonus was due to be paid in cash, with the remainder in shares, but he has chosen to take half of the cash element as shares. Those shares are due to pay out in July 2018, or when the company resumes paying a dividend, whichever comes sooner.
Tesco expects both its chief executive and financial officer to hold shares in the company to the value of four and three times their base salary within five years of their appointments.
Mr Lewis owns shares worth £3.4m, while Mr Stewart has shares worth almost £1.9m.
John Allan, the chairman, said that it had been a "very challenging year" for Tesco but he was confident about its future, adding: "It is important that we get Tesco back to investment grade and paying dividends."

Question: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is quoted as saying he has no intention of quitting, and the issue is not up for discussion at forthcoming peace talks.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

"If we wanted to surrender we would have surrendered from the start," Mr Assad told Russian MPs in Damascus, according to Interfax news agency.
The government, opposition groups and Western diplomats will attend peace talks in Switzerland from Wednesday.
More than 100,000 have been killed and millions displaced in Syria's conflict.
The Syrian presidency later said the comments reported by Interfax were "inaccurate", without giving further details.
But BBC Beirut correspondent Jim Muir said the statements were in line with what government officials had frequently said before.
According to Syrian news agency Sana, Mr Assad told the delegation that Syrian people were confronting "terrorism and foreign intervention".
By Sebastian UsherBBC Middle East analyst
The latest comments attributed to President Assad do not change his position in any way.  Even so, Syrian state media moved quickly to say the report of his remarks by a Russian news agency was inaccurate.
This may or may not be so.  But in the game of bluff that the government and the opposition have been playing ahead of the talks, neither side wants to be seen as the obstacle to negotiation.
That does not mean they are actually prepared to negotiate or compromise, but they do not want to be stigmatised as the main problem in the way of that process.
So the swift rebuttal of Mr Assad's latest remarks can be seen as part of this game of diplomatic poker.  The message - essentially a restatement of a long-held position - has been put out there. But it has been left open to deniability, so no blame can be put on the Assad regime for undermining the talks before they have begun.
Opposition groups have previously demanded the removal of Mr Assad as a condition of any discussions on a possible transitional government.
But the Syrian National Coalition, the exiled opposition body, announced on Saturday that it would attend the talks.
The decision was praised by the US which, with Russia and the UN, is taking a leading role in organising the negotiations.
The path to the talks began in May last year when US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov agreed to try to bring both sides together.
Later, the UN Security Council called for a conference to implement the Geneva communique - a deal on a transitional government agreed at a UN-backed meeting in 2012.
Damascus agreed to take part in the talks, but said its delegation would pursue "first and foremost eliminating terrorism".
Mr Assad is said to have reiterated that point of view in his talks with the Russian MPs.
The BBC's Jim Muir in neighbouring Lebanon says his reported comments underline the gaping gulf between the regime and the opposition, and are clearly not going to improve the atmosphere before the talks.

When asked by a German magazine if he would shelter Mr Assad, he said it was premature to discuss the issue.
But he added that Russia had granted asylum to US whistleblower Edward Snowden, "which was far more difficult than to do the same for Mr Assad".
Mr Putin said Syria first needed political reform.
He said the aim in Syria would be to work towards a new constitution: "It is a complicated process.
"Then, early presidential and parliamentary elections should be held, based on the new constitution. It is the Syrian people themselves who must decide who should run their country and how.
"This is the only way to achieve stability and security, to create conditions for economic growth and prosperity, so that people can live in their own homes, in their homeland, rather than flee to Europe."
Mr Putin launched a bombing campaign in the war-torn country in September to support President Assad's army.
Though Mr Assad had made "many mistakes" since the conflict began in 2011, he said, the fighting "would never have escalated to such a degree if it had not been supported from abroad through supplying money, weapons and fighters. Tragically, it is civilians who suffer in such conflicts".
He also said it was not Mr Assad's goal to destroy his country's population: "He is fighting those who rose up against him with deadly force."
Mr Putin said he did not want to see a scenario like that in Libya or Iraq to be repeated in Syria.
"In my view, no effort should be spared in strengthening legitimate governments in the region's countries," he said. "That also applies to Syria."
Mr Putin spoke in the second half of an interview with German newspaper Bild, which was published in English by the Kremlin on 12 January.
The first part of the interview was published on 11 January.
In Paris, Syria's opposition coordinator Riad Hijab said the US had backtracked on its position over Syria, softening its stance to accommodate Russia over President Assad.
"The Russians and Americans did not cite Assad [during the negotiations] and did not talk about his departure and that is clear backtracking," he said.
"When [US President Barack] Obama said he [Bashar al-Assad] had no legitimacy, [US Secretary of State John] Kerry was making concessions."
This, he said, would make it difficult for the opposition to attend peace talks due to be held in Geneva at the end of the month.
A UN Security Council resolution adopted in December set out a two-year roadmap for peace talks but did not address the issue of what would happen to the Syrian president.
Mr Hijab was chosen in December as co-ordinator of the opposition negotiating body to lead future Syria talks.  He is a former prime minister under President Assad who defected to the opposition in 2012.

Question: The distinctive Pringles tube has been branded a "nightmare" by recycling bosses because of the material it is made of.

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

The Recycling Association says the combination of a metal base, plastic cap, metal tear-off lid, and foil-lined cardboard sleeve make it one of the most challenging items to recycle. So what else could these pesky tubes - subsequently adopted by some other snack manufacturers - be used for?
The used (and clean!) cylinders can be reversioned into toys and food storage for your pets. The owner of two guinea pigs, Franklin and Theodore, makes tunnels for them to play in and stuffs them with hay and treats for the boys to snack on during the day.
A Mumsnet user agrees, and gives the empty tubes to her gerbils. RavenAK said the gerbils loved playing in them and eventually shredded the tubes, so all that was left to do was compost the remains and recycle the metal base.
Vice-provost for education Tanya Stanko used the crisp packaging to create a working Enigma machine with her engineering students at Innopolis University.
The original Enigma machine was used by the Germans during World War Two to encrypt and decrypt messages, but the code was successfully cracked by Alan Turing in 1939.
After the 5p carrier bag charge was introduced in 2015, hoards of plastic carrier bags have plagued our spare cupboards, but crafty bloggers have reversioned their crisp tubes into bag dispensers.
One little boy came up with the idea to make a mini drum kit for the family's 4 July celebrations, with the addition of a few strips of duct tape to bring it all together.
You may still have those Christmas crackers made of cardboard toilet roll tubes and crepe paper from your nursery days. But this creation takes it up a notch.
Jeanette Ellis has made collections from Pringles cans, such as this nativity scene, on and off for years. Her son says they are "always a hit".
At the Science Museum in London, staff use empty tubes as part of their rocket show. The packaging teamed with hydrogen gas, matches and oxygen creates a reaction to launch the rockets, which - apparently - makes "quite a loud bang".
Meanwhile, in 2015 railway blogger Andy Carter calculated how many Pringles you could fit into the 26-mile rail tunnel project, Crossrail. Services - when work is complete - will run as far west as Reading, in Berkshire and as far east as Shenfield, in Essex.
Mr Carter made a number of rough calculations and claims it would take a whopping 844 million cans of Pringles to fill Crossrail.
But I doubt you'd try this one at home.

Yes - and no. According to Glastonbury organisers, it's the first time sustainable, recycled stainless steel pint cups have been used on such a major scale, so it's nice to be able to be one of the first people to get their mitts on one.
However, they don't have a logo or any other identifying "Glastonbury" mark, so you'd have to be happy in the knowledge that only you and fellow-revellers know the significance of the beaker.
Maybe in future years there will be an identifying stamp - and full-on collecting will be possible. If that's the case, having one of the first ones could be invaluable.
Good news for people with metallaphobia - they're not compulsory. In fact, they're only available at 10 of the main bars - overall there are hundreds of food and drink stands.
It depends what you plan to do with them. If you want to partake in the unpleasant age-old festival tradition of urinating into cups and hurling them at the band, you'll find that although strong, they're difficult to throw very far.
They don't have lids, and are an awkward and non-aerodynamic shape to throw, with the contents likely to leave the vessel well before reaching your intended target.
The real danger comes from full bottles with the top still on. A litre bottle of water weighs 1kg (about 2.25lb), and hurled at a head can pack a powerful punch. That's why so many venues insist on removing the plastic cap when selling bottles of liquid.
Baby-faced pop phenomenon Justin Bieber, sensitive northern warbler Morrissey, and ladies' boy Harry Styles have all faced missiles filled by micturating merrymakers.
Of course, for people stumbling back to their tents, treading on a discarded metal cup is more likely to lead to a sprained ankle than mashing a plastic or paper one.
But the £5 deposit might encourage people hang on to them.
It shouldn't do. The cups are made from food grade stainless steel. According to beer appreciation group Beer Advocate, stainless steel is fine - after all, beer kegs are made from the same material.
The metals to avoid are copper - which can react with the brew, and pewter - which can affect the taste. Also, antique pewter goblets tend to contain lead, which is poisonous.
People with amalgam fillings should have no trouble with drinking from stainless steel cups, says the British Dental Association.
Not on its own - although it's a nice nod towards that. But Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has high hopes his idea will get the ball rolling.
"For me, the single most important thing was being able to source British stainless steel for the cups from the place where it was invented - Sheffield, and then to take it on to the home of manufacture - Birmingham," he says.
"If the jobs, skills and infrastructure [in British steel] are lost they won't be replaced. We've worked on this project over the last three years, which will hopefully encourage other UK businesses to think about how they can support our steel industry during these very challenging times."
Remember though, the Glastonbury cups are made from 80% recycled steel. One of the high-profile troubled steel works is at Port Talbot in south Wales, which produces slab, hot rolled, cold rolled and galvanised coil. Which is new steel.
The festival's green initiatives and sustainability coordinator Lucy Smith says: "For us, using these cups is part of the reusable revolution. It's very similar to paying 5p for a carrier bag. We think people will take to it.
"The pints are made by APS in Birmingham, and it was a significant part of the project to have them made with British stainless steel."
Steelwork does produce pollutants - Tata Steel says particulate material, sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are emissions the company monitors.
But the production of plastic glasses also releases toxins including trichloroethane, acetone, methylene chloride and benzene.
Plus - plastics are very stable and therefore stay in the environment a long time after they are thrown away, especially if they are shielded from direct sunlight by being buried in landfills.

The infection has seen patients at Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary suffer vomiting and diarrhoea.
The outbreak is understood to have started after a visitor attended a ward with symptoms of the virus.
In a bid to halt a further spread, hospital bosses have asked people to avoid seeing friends and family if they are unwell themselves.
Restrictions may be imposed if the situation does not improve, they added.
Anyone who has shown symptoms of the highly contagious infection within the past 48 hours is asked not to visit patients.
Known as the winter vomiting bug, it affects between 600,000 and one million people in the United Kingdom annually.
Health officials say it is normally a short-lived, self-limiting infection from which people will usually recover within 12 to 60 hours.

Question: Thai police say they have recovered 26 bodies from shallow graves at an abandoned jungle camp in southern Thailand.

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

A police spokesman said it was not clear how those found had died, but that tests were being carried out to establish their identities.
The camp was found on Friday on a route regularly used to smuggle Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma).
One very ill survivor was also found.
Police General Jarumporn Suramanee told the AFP news agency that one of the 26 bodies recovered was a woman.
"There are no more bodies," he went on. "Every hole has been searched."
A police spokesman said earlier that human traffickers were believed to have abandoned the sick man  a few days ago, as they moved people across the border from the camp, in Songkhla province.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Myanmar says that it is not immediately clear how the people died but that, from looking at the remains, police officers believe that many perished from disease or starvation.
The purpose of the camp is also unclear but our correspondent says that smugglers are known to hold people in camps for months while ransoms are demanded from their families back home.
Every year thousands of people are trafficked through Thailand and into Malaysia.
Rohingya Muslims in particular have used the route to flee persecution and sectarian violence in neighbouring Myanmar.
In 2012, more than 200 people were killed and thousands left homeless after violence broke out between Buddhists and Muslims in Myanmar. Anti-Muslim violence has flared several times since then.
In December, the UN passed a resolution urging Myanmar to give access to citizenship for the Rohingya, many of whom are classed as stateless.

The explosion happened at about 23:30 local time (16:30 GMT) in the Central Festival shopping mall.
Six Thais and a 12-year-old Italian girl suffered injuries.
Local officials believe the vehicle may have been brought to Koh Samui from one of three southern Thai provinces where Islamist militants operate.
However, officials say the exact provenance of the vehicle has yet to be established.
"The authorities are still investigating the scene to find out more details before linking it to any insurgency groups,'' said the island's disaster prevention chief Poonsak Sophonpathumrak told the Associated Press.
There were reports of other fires starting nearby at a shopping centre and convenience shop at the same time as the explosion.
The Samui Times said those injured have been treated for shrapnel wounds and shock.
Poonsak Sophonpathumrak said the bomb went off after a fashion show in the basement of the mall near the popular Chaweng beach.
He said a number of vehicles had been damaged.
Koh Samui is in Surat Thani province, further north from the three provinces which have seen repeated Islamist violence since 2004.
More than 5,000 people have been killed since the Islamic insurgency began, seeking more autonomy for the ethnically-Malay region.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha ordered security in the capital, Bangkok, to be ramped up in February after two bomb blasts outside a luxury shopping centre injured one person.
Koh Samui, one of the country's top island destinations for tourists, has not been a target of militant attacks in the past.

Question: Spain's acting Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has lost a parliamentary bid for a second term in office.

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

The failure to secure the position deepens the country's political crisis after two inconclusive elections.
Mr Rajoy, leader of the conservative Popular Party (PP), secured the backing of 170 representatives in the 350-strong assembly after failing to win support from the opposition.
The loss increases the likelihood of a third election within a year.
Mr Rajoy, 61, needed a majority of at least 176 votes in parliament, but secured only the votes of the PP's 137 lawmakers with the backing of 33 others.
Those who voted in favour of a second term for Mr Rajoy include the anti-corruption Ciudadanos (Citizens) party and a small party from the Canary Islands.
The Socialists, anti-austerity alliance Unidos Podemos, and regional parties from the Basque Country and Catalonia voted against him.
Mr Rajoy could still become prime minister in a second vote on Friday, in which a simple majority is needed. But this would require one or more of the other parties to abstain.
Mr Rajoy came to power in 2011 and is credited with steering Spain back from the brink of economic meltdown with harsh doses of austerity.
But unemployment remained stubbornly high and the PP got mired in a corruption scandal.

A five-point plan for constitutional reform is at the heart of the deal.
Mr Sanchez will now seek deputies' support to become prime minister in a vote on 2 March - though the two parties' seats combined still leave him far from a parliamentary majority.
Spain remains in political limbo following December's inconclusive poll.
Acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's centre-right Popular Party, which took the greatest number of seats in the election, has already tried to form a coalition without success.
The Socialists (PSOE) had been negotiating with the radical left Podemos, but on Tuesday declared they had come to an agreement with Ciudadanos. The deal was signed on Wednesday to applause.
Between them, the Socialists and Ciudadanos command only 130 seats in the 350-seat lower house.
"What we agreed we cannot do alone," said Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, urging other parties to come on board.
Their five-point pact would strip immunity from senior officials from being tried in lower courts; depoliticise the judiciary; make it easier for citizens to propose legislative initiatives; remove central government representation within regional administrations; and limit prime ministers to two terms in office.
In addition, reports El Diario (in Spanish), the deal envisages the imposition of a special tax on wealthy estates, an increase in the minimum wage, and corporate tax reform.
However, should their coalition go on to take power, constitutional reforms would depend on the unlikely support of the PP, which has an absolute majority in the Senate.
And despite the Ciudadanos deal, correspondents caution, the path to a new government remains far from clear.
Ciudadanos has talked to both the PP and Socialists (PSOE). The significance of the deal is that Ciudadanos has picked Mr Sanchez as the man who can deliver meaningful political reforms.
The problem is that this backing is largely symbolic, in that Ciudadanos' 40 seats cannot give a workable majority to either Mr Sanchez or Mr Rajoy.
Podemos, which could help Mr Sanchez become prime minister if Basque and Catalan parties gave their consent, has said it will not join any deal with Ciudadanos.
Ciudadanos has said it will vote against Mr Sanchez if he signs up to Podemos's plans to raise income tax and offer Catalans a referendum on independence.
Unless Podemos ditches its radical ideas, fresh elections still seem the most likely option. The Socialist leader will be able to say he tried, and blame Podemos for the impasse.
Mr Sanchez will now put himself forward for a vote of confidence in the lower house of parliament on 2 March.
To succeed he would need an absolute majority, which would require a yes vote or abstentions by either the PP - which has vowed to oppose such a coalition - or by Podemos and several other parties.
Podemos, analysts say, has been a tough negotiator with the Socialists: its leader Pablo Iglesias insistent on an independence referendum in Catalonia, anathema to the Socialists, or perhaps confident his ascendant party could win even more seats in fresh elections next summer.
Podemos is also deeply suspicious of rival newcomer Ciudadanos.
Should Mr Sanchez fail to secure an absolute majority on 2 March, he could then aim for a simple majority in a second vote on 5 March.
If he fails, the PP may attempt once again to form a coalition - perhaps a "grand coalition" with the Socialists and Ciudadanos.
If that fails, a new election would have to be called, probably on 26 June.

Question: With the news that the BBC is holding open auditions to find new co-hosts for Chris Evans on Top Gear we take a look at a selection of previous high profile open auditions and how the winners fared.

The upcoming Star Wars film is the most high profile movie franchise to hold open auditions for lead roles.
The filmmakers hosted open auditions in the US and UK as well as accepting online applications,  which Top Gear is also doing.
While most of the the lead roles went to established actors, professional free-runner Pip Andersen and US-born Crystal Clarke, who is studying in Glasgow also won parts.
They were chosen from 37,000 hopefuls who attended casting calls held in 11 cities across the UK and US, while a further 30,000 others applied online.
Film producer Kathleen Kennedy said they decided to have open auditions because of the film's tradition of casting unknown actors in the past such as Mark Hamill, albeit through the traditional casting process.
"The Star Wars universe has always been about discovering and nurturing young talent and in casting Episode VII, we wanted to remain absolutely faithful to this tradition," she said.
We will see how they fare when Star Wars: Episode VII is released at Christmas.
Another movie franchise behemoth that has found cast members through open auditions is Harry Potter.
However, they were for secondary characters in the later Potter films.
The first open auditions for the role of Luna Lovegood saw 14-year-old Evanna Lynch beat 15,000 other girls to win her first film role.
However, with the later open calls for people to play Lavender Brown and Tom Riddle, the parts went to people with acting experience, despite the casting stating no acting experience was necessary.
Announcing the auditions, director David Yates said: "These auditions are open to everybody and we can't wait to see who comes in the door.
"Normally I have all these casting agents sending me kids who have been to stage school and who come in tap-dancing and singing.
"What we are looking for is someone natural and absolutely credible in their own right."
Seven thousand people auditioned but the parts eventually went to Jessie Cave, star of CBBC drama Summerhill and movie Inkheart and Christian Coulson who had appeared in BBC series Love in a Cold Climate.
Other notable open auditions in the film world saw actress Dakota Blue Richards win the lead role of Lyra in The Golden Compass, the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights, through open casting.
Meanwhile, Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks has also held open casting auditions a number of times - finding Roxanne McKee among others in the process.
Britney Spears started on her road to fame with an open audition for The All New Mickey Mouse club.
The TV show was also the first step on the road to A-list stardom for Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling, who won their parts in regional auditions.
More than 100,000 kids in North America auditioned to be in the show and casting director Matt Casella said an open casting was the right way to find talent for the show:
"If I wanted polish, I'd have done the casting in L.A. These were ones that kids could relate to."
Even the cast of Mouse rejects is impressive - among those who failed to get on the show include Kirsten Dunst, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Jessica Simpson.
In 2005, rock group INXS started the process of holding open auditions for singers to replace the late Michael Hutchence.
The Australian band held auditions in six continents as part of a reality TV series, INXS Rock Star.
The eventual winner was Canadian singer JD Fortune.
However, joining such a well known band was not plain sailing for the newcomer.
In 2009, Canada's The Star reported he was homeless and living out of a pickup truck after the other INXS members abruptly sacked him.
He said his heavy use of cocaine was the cause: "It got as bad as it needed to be for me to numb out the fact that this was going to come to a screeching halt,"
However, the band denied he had been sacked and he continued to perform with the band until 2011.
He now has a solo career.
When longstanding member Kym Marsh left Hear'Say in 2002, the band - who were created when they won ITV talent show Popstars - held open auditions to find a replacement.
Johnny Shentall from Doncaster won after queuing up with 3,000 other hopefuls and was chosen after two days of intensive auditions.
When it emerged that he was married to former Steps singer Lisa Scott-Lee and an ex-member of chart group Boom! the band were forced to issue a statement refuting claims their auditions to find a new member were "fixed".
However Johnny Shentall couldn't save the band, they split later the same year blaming abuse from the public

Motor journalist Chris Harris and TV presenter Rory Reid have also been signed to co-present the programme.
They will join Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc when the BBC Two programme returns in May.
The new presenters were signed after Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left the programme last year.
Sabine Schmitz will become the show's first female presenter in 15 years. The last was Vicki Butler-Henderson in 2001.
Speaking about her new role, Schmitz said "the chance to combine both driving and filming was too good an opportunity to pass up".
"I've appeared on Top Gear a few times in the past, so I know we're going to have a lot of fun," she added.
Schmitz has already been filming a sequence with Chris Evans for the new series that "will leave even the most hardened speed-demons gasping for breath when it debuts on TV", the BBC said in a statement.
Her fellow co-presenter Chris Harris is well known for fronting various motoring programmes on YouTube.
Referencing the show's cheeky and irreverent style, Harris said: "I'm quite gobby and happy to get into trouble, so I'm hoping I can underpin the programme with journalistic credibility but still cause some mischief."
Newcomer Rory Reid was recruited to Top Gear from the show's 2015 public auditions, but previously presented for CNET's Car Tech channel, and also had a starring role in Sky 1's Gadget Geeks series.
He said: "When I submitted my 30-second audition tape, I knew the odds were very firmly against me, as the auditions were open to absolutely everybody.
"To be the only person to make it through the open audition process makes me immensely proud."
Former presenter Jeremy Clarkson left the show last year after an "unprovoked physical attack" on one of the show's producers.
His co-stars James May and Richard Hammond also exited the show. All three have since been signed up to present a new motoring programme for Amazon Prime.
Chris Evans said of his new Top Gear gang: "We really do have a bit of everything for everyone."

Question: Pitch Perfect 2 is the follow-up to a surprise hit about a university a capella group - but can it live up to the beloved original?

Anna Kendrick is exhausted.
The star of Pitch Perfect 2 is on the promotional trail for the third time this year, making a flying visit to London before going back to work on one of the seven films she has lined up for the next 18 months.
"I can't tell if I'm really jetlagged," she laughs, "but I woke up at three in the morning and, just five minutes ago, I told someone 'goodnight' instead of 'goodbye', so we'll see how this goes."
Despite this, she's as irreverent and zesty in person as she is on Twitter - devilishly suggesting we use our interview slot to catch some shut eye.
"Five minutes of us sleeping would make compelling TV," she argues.
Her disregard for the conventions of press junkets is part of the 29-year-old's appeal. She brings a down-to-earth, acerbic edge to all of her films and public appearances, while managing to be warm and likeable.
To adapt a well-worn cliche, girls want to be her, and guys want to be her, too. She's that cool.
Kendrick first came to attention in her Oscar-nominated role as a no-nonsense management consultant in George Clooney's Up In The Air, but it's in musicals that she's made her name.
She got her professional start on Broadway, and was nominated for a Tony Award for playing Dinah in High Society when she was just 12.
The original Pitch Perfect - a comedy musical about the quirky world of competitive a capella - was her first lead role and a surprise sleeper hit.
Produced for a meagre $17 million, it made $113 million at the box office and another $103 million in home video sales.  It even gave Kendrick a top 10 single in the US.
The success made a second movie all-but inevitable. But comedy sequels are notoriously difficult. And musical sequels are even worse.
"Wait, have there been many musical sequels?" asks Kendrick, astonished. "I never even thought of this!"
A quick brainstorm brings up Love Never Dies, the ill-fated follow-up to Phantom of the Opera, as well as film flops Blues Brothers 2000 and Grease 2.
"But Grease 2 is kind of fabulous in its own way," Kendrick argues, breaking into Michelle Pfeiffer's Cool Rider... A song which brings to mind the full horror of the film.
"No, it's a terrible movie," she corrects herself. "I agree with that."
Historically speaking, then, the prospects for Pitch Perfect 2 were suitably dim.
"People keep saying that," laughs director Elizabeth Banks. "It's almost as if they're rooting for us to fail."
Kendrick is more sanguine. "To me, it felt like the pressure was off because I knew people wanted to see Pitch Perfect 2," she says.
"When you do almost every other film, you have no idea if anybody's going to be interested in sitting down and watching your stupid movie."
Pitch Perfect was based on the true story of an all-female a capella troupe who fought their way to the national finals of a college singing competition.
It was adapted from a non-fiction book by Mickey Rapkin, but it was the catty, shrewdly-observed characters - invented by 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon - that gave the movie its real heart.
Kendrick played Beca, a spunky freshman dragged reluctantly into the Barden Bellas; but the stand-out was Rebel Wilson's Fat Amy (self-professed so "twig bitches like you don't do it behind my back"), who shamelessly stole scenes from the rest of the cast.
"I've got a trophy cabinet now, thanks to Pitch Perfect!" says the Australian actress.
"The MTV Movie Awards are pretty cool, 'cause they look like popcorn. And sometimes in the middle of the night, you're like 'that's not real popcorn, that's gold!'"
The sequel broadens the scope - as the Barden Bellas square off against German aca-champions Das Sound Machine (an arrogant bunch of "Deutschbags") in an international singing contest.
But not before Fat Amy destroys the girls' reputation with a mid-air wardrobe malfunction.
"Yeah - there's a 'muffgate', when I expose myself to the President of America," Wilson deadpans.
"I did have to train very hard to do that 40-second stunt," she says of her acrobatic exposure.
"I only did three takes of the actual routine at 27 feet because it's very dangerous to hang upside down for a long period of time.
"But luckily I smashed it and got to go home early. And then we did a couple of cut-away takes of me hanging upside down by the butt."
The sequence, filmed at the Lincoln Center, is indicative of the increased ambition (and budget) of the sequel, all of which presented a challenge for first-time director Elizabeth Banks - who also plays commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden.
"I think I was very naive," she laughs. "I was very confident going in. But it is, of course, a challenge, to give people more of what they loved about the first film but also expand the world.
"What helped is that we had a sweet, small, university-set story the first time around and we had a great opportunity to blow it up this time.
"The musical numbers were all bigger and crazier and more comedic. We just leaned into what people already liked."
Despite the pressure, Banks, an accomplished comedic actress, allowed her cast to improvise extensively on set.
The jokes occasionally got out of hand (expect an 18-rated gag reel), but the best lines undoubtedly go to John Michael Higgins, who plays a staggeringly sexist commentator, calling the Bellas "an inspiration to girls all over the country who are too ugly to be cheerleaders".
"He's one of the great improv artists of all time, and he's not afraid of anything," says Banks. "I think comedy has to be very fearless or it just gets bland."
Kendrick adds: "There'd be times when we would be doing improv and I'd think 'this is never going in the movie,' but it is!
"I think we definitely pushed it a little further in this one, and somehow managed to sneak it in."
And if the film matches the success of the first one, is a three-quel on the cards?
Banks, who spent so much time editing Pitch Perfect 2 that "all I see now are the mistakes", says she won't make a decision in haste.
"If people embrace it in the way we hope that they do, we will absolutely talk seriously about what the next part of this journey could be," she says.
But she has reservations about where the story of the Bellas could go.
"I think we have to do a big right turn and do something completely different, otherwise we'll be facing off against aliens," she laughs.
"We'll be the Avengers of a capella."
Pitch Perfect 2 reaches cinemas on 15 May, 2015.

Daniel Hodgin, 20, failed to return home after a night out with friends at the town's Buttermarket nightclub on Saturday night.
West Mercia Police said they believed Mr Hodgin, from Madeley, left the club at about 03:30 GMT on Sunday.
His mother Lorraine said she phoned him in the early hours of Sunday.
She said: "He said he would walk home although he was unsure where he was, so we drove to Shrewsbury anyway but could not find him.
"We are devastated, as any parent would be who did not know where their son was.
"As a family we have been in and around Shrewsbury searching day and night. We have given out leaflets asking for anyone to come forward with any information as to his whereabouts or the location of any of his possessions."
Ch Insp Tom Harding said concerns were "growing by the hour".
He said searches were focusing on an area within one mile of the Buttermarket and the force helicopter, dogs and boat crews were all involved.
Daniel, described as about 5' 9" (1.75m) with short spiked brown hair and stubble, was wearing a grey Police polo shirt with dark blue jeans and black boots.

Question: Lorries could be banned from overtaking on a 34-mile stretch of road in Oxfordshire and Berkshire following a vote by councillors.

Didcot East councillor Patrick Greene put forward the motion to reduce accidents on the A34 between Junction 13 of the M4 and Junction 9 of the M40.
Earlier at an Oxfordshire County Council meeting it received 51 votes in favour and nine abstentions.
A letter will now be sent to the Secretary of State for Transport.
Mr Greene said: "A lot of problems are caused by these HGVs overtaking each other and that frustrates the ordinary driver."
His motion said the council was "concerned and alarmed at the recent number of major traffic accidents".
But Rhys Williams, the Oxfordshire area manager for the Road Haulage Association, said new regulations would cause "mass congestion".
"What you'll end up having is convoys of trucks tailgating... that's going to cause a safety hazard to other road users who can't enter or exit the A34."

A new study will also look at creating an express-link between Oxford and Cambridge via Milton Keynes.
The news came as work begins to prevent flooding on a stretch of the A34 between Chilton and the A4130 Milton Interchange.
Nicola Blackwood, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, described it as "a real breakthrough in tackling congestion".
However, Labour has criticised the plans, saying they were announced previously.
Technology enhancementson the A34, from junction 13 to junction 9, will include CCTV cameras and screens to warn drivers about delays.
There will also be improvements at Peartree and Botley interchanges.
A study will look at linking Oxford and Cambridge by using existing roads and considering the case for filling missing links.
All of the changes were announced in this year's Autumn Statement and are part of a £15bn nationwide programme.
Ms Blackwood, who said she was given the figure of up to £50m by the treasury, said: "Thousands of my constituents are affected by traffic misery on the A34 on a daily basis yet there has been no major investment for over two decades."
But, Labour shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher said it was "yet another re-announcement" on road improvements.
A six-month drainage programme has also begun on both carriageways of the A34 between Chilton and the A4130 Milton Interchange.
The Highways Agency said the work would mean fewer unplanned road closures for emergency repairs.

Question: Represent the following document

Question: Petra Kvitova may be one of the lowest-key double-Grand Slam winners in the recent history of tennis.

The talented Czech left-hander has won two of the past four Wimbledon titles and is a familiar and popular player with fans of the game.
But the current holder of the Venus Rosewater Dish does not yet have the instant public recognition enjoyed by players such as Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams, and was famously uncomfortable with the media attention after her 2011 Wimbledon win.
However, last year's repeat success has made her more prepared for being in the media spotlight, and that is something her new team of business advisors is seeking to  capitalise on.
Although top players can earn millions through prize money, the majority of their earnings - in what can be a short career - comes through business deals and endorsements.
"We believe she has great potential to become a successful global brand and commercial property," says her agent Marijn Bal of IMG, with whom she has signed a worldwide marketing and representation deal.
"We have got to look at the personality, she is totally different from a Maria Sharapova or a Genie Bouchard.
"Those girls are a little bit more outgoing, Petra is more humble, she is like the girl next door, approachable. I am not saying the others are not like that, but they are all different personalities."
And Kvitova herself tells the BBC business website that it would be unwise to try to package her as something she is not.
"I think for me it has been important to remain 'Petra from Fulnek'," says the Wimbledon number two seed.  "I am a simple girl from a simple background and I think fans have appreciated my authenticity, What you see is definitely what you get with me.
"I don't pretend to be any different just because I win tennis matches, so hopefully brands appreciate my approach and my likeability, because it's who I am."
Bal says they hope to repeat the sort of success they had with Novak Djokovic, another player from a not-particularly-large geographical or commercial territory in Eastern Europe, in his case Serbia, and who they were able to transform into a global brand.
According to Forbes, Djokovic made some $48m (Â£30.5m) from tennis in 2014, with just over one third of that coming from competition prize money and the rest from commercial ventures.
But Bal adds:  "There is no formula, there are different strategies for different players. When we start working with a player we don't look at how we did things with a player before. We look at their interests and personality. And we need to have the right brands that fit their personality. "
He also says that there is no strict timetable to securing deals, but that products Kvitova is associated with have to be of high quality.
"An athlete's brand is not created for 12 months, but over their lifetimes.  We are starting that process having signed her late last year," he continues.
Born in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic) on 8 March 1990
With the Williams sisters, is only current female player to have won Wimbledon more than once
The only female player born in the 1990s to have won a Grand Slam title

The WTA world number two's commercial market has traditionally been on her home ground in the Czech Republic, but IMG now intend "to expand her brand globally".
One of the first tasks is to build up her continued presence in Western markets, and Bal believes her success at SW19 can help trigger British interest.
"The UK is an important market for us.  Having won Wimbledon twice is important," he says.
Bal says there is another - perhaps seemingly unusual -  part of the world which could prove commercially fruitful, namely China and East Asia.
"Her relationship and friendship with [former Chinese player] Li Na is well documented," he says.  "At Li's farewell event last October, she made it known she considered Petra 'a sister off the court'.
"It kick-started a bit of a personality spike for Petra in China and Asia."
That was helped by the 25-year-old winning the Wuhan Open in Li's home city at around the same time, and then by her appearance at the end-of-year WTA finals in Singapore.
"So it was a bringing together of a lot of things," says Bal. "We do believe this is going to be an area of the world where there are going to be opportunities, and she is going to be able to capitalise on her personality."
They have are also promoting her brand through a deal with watchmaker Ritmo Mundo, with the US luxury firm signing her up in April.
"They are a California based company, they are young and they are growing fast," says Bal, who added that the player's "laid back" personality was well-suited to the California lifestyle.
He also says his client is interested in expanding into jewellery and beauty products, and she recently worked in London with global brands Atelier Swarovski and Maybelline at pre-Wimbledon events.
Meanwhile, Kvitova says she is better prepared this time round for the sporting and commercial aspects of being the defending Wimbledon champion.
"I am hoping that I will cope better with being defending champion this year because I have done it once before, I know what to expect and the emotions that are involved. I will really try to enjoy it this year and just absorb the atmosphere and try to give my best."
She adds: "The most important thing is definitely success on the tennis court. I know that if I win matches everything else will fall into place and the money and sponsors will follow."

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

Dubbed "yellowface" by angry users, it contorted facial features and gave users the appearance of slanted eyes.
Snapchat said the filter had already been removed and would not return to circulation.
The social media app, one of the most popular in the world, has come under fire before over its lenses.
Critics often accuse it of favouring white complexions with filters that lighten users' skin tones.
Its "Bob Marley" filter, which added animated dreadlocks and a cap, was also criticised for promoting "blackface".
"This anime-inspired lens has already expired and won't be put back into circulation," Snapchat said in an official statement on Wednesday.
"Lenses are meant to be playful and never to offend."
But many Snapchat users were still not satisfied and took to social media to call the company out for "promoting racist Asian stereotypes".
"Stop it, Snapchat, this is not okay. This Yellow Face filter is not cool," tweeted actress and celebrity blogger Latrice Butts, who shared a snap of the filter.
Other users like Tansu Philip, reported that they had deleted the app over the filter. "Racist filters are not cute," she said.
The lens even drew users to make comparisons with US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
"Racist taste in black and yellow filters. Snapchat must be Donald Trump supporters," wrote Californian Mike Udem on Twitter.
"Yellowface is never playful," said Reid Robinson in New York City. "Love you Snapchat but you're acting like Trump - clearly racist and with the maturity of a third grader."
Reporting by the BBC's Heather Chen.

The costumes depicted an Israeli solder and a large-nosed Arab man.
The outfits sparked a backlash on social media ahead of Halloween on Saturday and came at a time of spiralling violence between Israel and the Palestinians.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) called the "Sheikh Fagin nose" "racist anti-Arab costumes"
The latex prosthetic nose is described on the website as being "perfect for an Arab Sheik".
Its large, hook-nosed appearance and the use of the name Fagin - referring to a character in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist - appear also to play into anti-Semitic stereotypes.
"Selling merchandise which mocks Arabs, or any other race or ethnicity, must not be tolerated," said Samer Khalaf President of ADC.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) costume was also heavily criticised by many on Twitter.
More than 40 Palestinians have died in unrest in Israel and the Palestinian territories this month, many killed carrying out attacks on Israelis. Nine Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in stabbings and some gun attacks.
Earlier this year, an outfit inspired by transgender reality star and former athlete Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair cover was condemned as "transphobic" and "deplorable."
Another costume based on famed Zimbabwean lion Cecil, who was shot by an American dentist, was criticised by an animal welfare charity.
In 2013 UK supermarket chains Tesco and Asda - which is owned by Walmart - withdrew outfits for a "mental patient" and for someone from a "psycho ward" after they were criticised for stigmatising people with mental health issues.

Question: Lawyers representing former soldiers facing prosecution for killings during the Northern Ireland Troubles have called for an independent inquiry.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

A London-based firm of solicitors says there are concerns about the decisions to take legal action.
Former soldiers feel they are being unfairly treated, says the firm, Devonshires.
A number of Conservative MPs have called for new legislation to prevent further prosecutions.
The police and Public Prosecution Service (PPS) say cases involving allegations against former soldiers are treated in the same way as all others.
Members of regular regiments of the British Army killed 302 people during the Troubles, more than half of them were civilians.
The first 169 killings were investigated by the Royal Military Police.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) then took over responsibility, but did not re-examine those cases.
Critics have questioned the integrity of the investigations into all of the Army killings.
Indeed, an official British government document uncovered by campaign group Relatives for Justice five years ago indicated that an agreement was made to protect soldiers serving in Northern Ireland from prosecution.
Dated 10 July 1972, it said: "The British government should not be inhibited in its campaign by the threat of court proceedings and should therefore be suitably indemnified."
The Legacy Branch of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is re-investigating the Army killings, as part of a review of all deaths during the Troubles.
In 2010, the Saville inquiry found that the Bloody Sunday killings of 13 civilians were unjustified and unjustifiable.
Devonshires says it is currently representing between 10 and 15 former soldiers facing prosecution for a number of killings, including those on Bloody Sunday.
Lawyer Philip Barden said his clients and other former soldiers had serious concerns.
"They do feel that the process is unfair," he said.
"These are soldiers whose shootings were investigated at the time they took place and the then director of public prosecutions took a decision, based upon the evidence that was then available, that no action would be taken against them.
"They've got on with their lives, their memories have faded, and now after, in some cases more than 40 years, they face the prospect of being prosecuted, and they feel that it is very prejudicial for them and they are very concerned by it."
He said the firm had been told there could be as many as 1,000 former soldiers potentially facing prosecution.
The PPS in Northern Ireland said it had no idea where that figure came from.
Devonshires is calling for an independent review of the process to address the concerns of former soldiers.
"Justice must be seen to be done, and I think in these circumstances it would help everybody if someone such as a senior judge were to be instructed by the government to review the processes and procedures that have been put in place," Mr Barden said.
Kate Nash, whose brother, William, was killed on Bloody Sunday, said she was absolutely enraged by Mr Barden's comments.
"The victims of the state in this country have never been on a level playing field when dealing with British justice," she said.
"An inquiry had already found soldiers guilty on Bloody Sunday of firing at victims without fear or panic and perjuring themselves. These soldiers at the Bloody Sunday inquiry had the protection of immunity from prosecution and still didn't tell the truth. It's a disgrace."
However, DUP MP Sir Jeffery Donaldson said: "I think Kate is right, there isn't a level playing field and I think more money was spent on the Saville inquiry [into Bloody Sunday] than on the investigation of any other killing in the history of Northern Ireland.
"Kate seems to think that the only people who are entitled to access to justice are victims of the state. The IRA were responsible for 60% of the killings in Northern Ireland, the paramilitary terrorists were responsible for over 90% of the killings.
"The problem is that no-one is investigating the unsolved killings committed by the IRA."
The PPS says all of its decisions are reached after careful consideration of the case according to the Code of Prosecutors.
In a statement issued last month, it said: "The Public Prosecution Service only applies the law as it currently stands in Northern Ireland and does so without fear, favour or prejudice."
In response to critics who say army killings were not properly investigated at the time they happened, the lawyer said if that was the case it was not the fault of the former soldiers involved.
"If the state failed to properly investigate matters in the 1970s that should be taken up with the state," he said.
"That's not the responsibility of the individual soldiers who were subject to an investigation, who were told that no action would be taken against them, and have relied upon that."

The parade by the campaign group, Veterans for Justice UK, is now set to take place in Coleraine, County Londonderry, on Saturday 4 March.
The original plan was to hold the march in Derry on the same date.
However relatives of Bloody Sunday victims objected, saying it was an "insult" to the people of the city.
John Kelly, whose brother was one of 14 Bloody Sunday victims killed by soldiers who opened fire on a civil rights march in Derry in 1972, had described the original plan as "an act of pure provocation".
The Derry parade was called off last week amid reports of counter-demonstrations planned by republicans.
Veterans for Justice UK has now lodged a fresh application with the Parades Commission to march through the centre of Coleraine.
The group said it expects 150 marchers to take part in the parade, which will start and finish at the Royal British Legion.
Last week, march organiser Anto Wickham said the aim of the event was to protect soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan facing "false prosecutions".
Mr Wickham said he was "upset" by suggestions that the Derry march had been planned to raise tensions in the city.
He told Tuesday's Belfast Telegraph: "With help from the Royal British Legion in Coleraine, we are now able to parade and carry on our fight for justice".
In recent months, a number of former soldiers and Conservative MPs have complained that Army veterans were being unfairly targeted by investigations into Troubles-era killings.
In January, hundreds of veterans marched through London to demand an end to the prosecutions.
A London-based law firm representing a number of ex-soldiers also called for an independent inquiry into the prosecution process.
The criticism drew a response from Northern Ireland's Director of Public Prosecutions Barra McGrory QC, who defended his impartiality.
Mr McGrory told the BBC last month that critics who accuse him of treating former soldiers unfairly had insulted him and his office.

Question: North Wales has been chosen as one of the best places in the world to visit.

Travel guide Lonely Planet named it fourth in a list of best regions to visit in 2017.
Surf Snowdonia, Penrhyn Quarry's zip lines and the underground trampoline in Blaenau Ffestiniog are all mentioned in the guide as attractions in the area.
Tom Hall, Lonely Planet's editorial director, said: "It's a stunning area with a vast array of activities on offer to keep travellers entertained."
North Wales was ranked higher than areas including Aysen in Chile, the Tuamotus in French Polynesia and coastal Georgia in the USA - Choquequiro in Peru took the top spot.
Mr Hall added: "We included north Wales in this year's list of top 10 regions because it deserves to be recognised on the global stage. North Wales is a gem and should be on every traveller's radar."
1. Choquequirao, Peru
2. Taranaki, New Zealand
3. The Azores, Portugal
4. North Wales
5. South Australia
6. Aysen, Chile
7. The Tuamotus, French Polynesia

It was voted third best country to head to, behind Brazil which took the top spot and Antarctica which came second.
Lonely Planet said Scotland's "jam-packed schedule of world-class events" made it "the place to be" in 2014.
The Commonwealth Games take place in Glasgow next summer. The Ryder Cup will be held at Gleneagles and next year is also Scotland's Year of Homecoming.
The book also cited Highland Games and the Edinburgh festivals as events that will draw travellers to Scotland next year, and it said the country's cities were well worth a visit.
The guide described Edinburgh as "the most gothic city outside Transylvania" and encouraged travellers to "take the high road to Loch Lomond, Loch Ness and Cairngorms National Park and fall in love with the landscape that inspired poet Robert Burns".

Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2014 contributor Tom Hall said: "Next year Scotland will be well-deservedly taking the spotlight on the world stage.
"The country's buzzing cities and stunning scenery have plenty to offer visitors, combined with an incredible calendar of events and Scotland looks set for a year-long celebration."
Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland, said: "It's clear that 2014 is Scotland's chance to shine on the world stage, and to have this commendation from Lonely Planet is a fantastic seal of approval.
"From the bells bringing in our year-long Homecoming celebrations on Hogmanay, to the biggest ever sporting events to take place in Scotland - the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, and the Ryder Cup, this could be the greatest ever chance for our country to be seen as a globally recognised, must-visit destination for many years to come."
Lonely Planet said its Best in Travel annual is a collection of the world's hottest trends, destinations and experiences for the year ahead. It highlighted the top ten countries, cities and regions to visit in 2014.
Yorkshire came third in the list of top 10 world regions for 2014.

Alluding to the Olympics success of UK competitors from the English county, the guide said: "If the good people of Yorkshire were proud of their heritage before, the 2012 London Olympics only served to cement what they have always thought: that their county is better than - and really the best of - all the English counties."
The Lonely Planet guide went on: "In 2014, this welcoming region of rugged moorlands, heritage homes and cosy pubs will be able to hold its head even higher when the Tour de France begins its grand depart from Leeds."
The destinations featured in the book were selected because they meet certain criteria.
A Lonely Planet spokeswoman said: "It could be that there is something special going on that year, that there's been recent development and a lot of buzz about the place, or that we think it's up-and-coming and suggest travellers visit before the crowds do."
As host for the football World Cup, Brazil was the top country destination for 2014, with a visit to second placed Antarctica described as "a chance to take life on and follow in the path of other intrepid explorers". Next year marks the centenary of the start of Ernest Shackleton's infamous attempted Antarctic crossing.
The Sikkim area of India was chosen as the best region to go to, with Paris the top city in a list that also included Cape Town, Shanghai and Chicago, while the Greek Islands were seen as the best-value destination.
Best family travel spot was Denmark, while Cappadocia in Turkey with its "fairy chimney" landscape was the best honeymoon destination.

Question: The number of A&E visits in England soared by more than 400,000 in 2014, figures show.

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

The College of Emergency Medicine said that was the equivalent of filling an extra nine emergency departments.
The Health Select Committee has been taking evidence after the worst waiting times in A&E for a decade and many hospitals declaring "major incidents".
Doctors said it was "absurd" to blame patients, who were advised to go to A&E by services including NHS 111.
The committee heard the reasons for the surge in demand were "many, varied and complex", but staff were doing a "heroic" job.
Figures for England showed 92.6% of patients had been seen within four hours during the October-to-December quarter. The target is 95%.
Then, last week, data for the start of the new year showed the proportion had dropped to a new weekly low of 86.7%.
The figures include walk-in centres and minor injury units. Once you strip them out, just one in seven major A&E units are hitting the target.
Data from NHS England shows there were over 14.6m visits to A&E in 2014 - an increase of 446,049 on 2013.
Dr Clifford Mann, the president of the College of Emergency Medicine, told the committee: "Now the interesting thing about that is many people would describe that as only a 3% increase in attendances.
"That's certainly true, but the other way of describing it is to say that's equivalent to eight or nine extra emergency departments and of course we haven't built or staffed eight or nine extra emergency departments in the last 12 months."
Other parts of the UK are also missing the four-hour target with waits in Northern Ireland and Wales even worse than in England.
The four-hour target measures the point from when the patient arrives to when they are treated and discharged, admitted to hospital or transferred to another part of the NHS.
Prof Chris Ham, from The King's Fund health think tank, said there was no simple explanation for the extra pressures on A&E.
He said: "The causes are many, varied and complex. We think the most important causes are outside hospital."
He cited under-investment in GP services and a lack of community services to support people being discharged from hospital.
Dr Mann said it was not the fault of patients, who were often told to go to A&E, including through the helpline service, NHS 111.
He said: "I don't think you should blame people for attending an emergency department when we've told them to go there, it's absurd."
The pressures being felt in A&E are also affecting other parts of the hospital system.
The Government has made much of the Â£700m of extra funding made available to the NHS in England to cope with winter pressures. But has it all reached the frontline?
Doubt was cast on that by Dr Cliff Mann of the College of Emergency Medicine. He told MPs that investment of the money was "geographically patchy".
Chris Ham of the King's Fund ventured that some of the money might be "papering over the cracks" of trusts struggling with deficits.
Dale Bywater of the Trust Development Authority argued that the money had been pledged early and was being closely tracked through the system.
Just how the extra cash for the NHS has been used will continue to be an issue as the debate over the intense pressures on A&E continues.
Delays are also being seen when ambulances hand over patients and inside the hospital when patients need to be found beds and when they are ready to be discharged.
The problems have even led to a number of hospitals declaring major incidents, which means they take steps such as calling in extra staff and cancelling routine operations, such as knee and hip operations.
The committee heard that pressures on A&E would have a knock-on effect on the rest of the health service as priorities shifted to target the four-hour wait.
Prof Ham warned other targets were likely to slip later in the year.
Prof Keith Willett, the director of acute care for NHS England, said: "We have to do a transformation of the whole system with a particular focus on out-of-hospital services being the way to both reduce demand and also alleviate the issues of congestion within the hospital.
"It isn't going to be a quick fix. We have said it will be three to five years to get all of these things in place."

Sex crimes rose from 4,108 to 5,016 while violent crime went up from 40,771 to 49,046.
Figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday show there were just over 185,000 recorded crimes in Wales in 2015, a rise of 2.5% compared to last year.
The total number of crimes went from 180,648 in 2014 to 185,075 in 2015.
Across Wales and England the number of sexual offences recorded by police rose to more than 100,000 for the first time ever.
The ONS said improvements in crime recording processes by the police were thought to be the main driver of the change.

Question: Energy services provider Wood Group has signalled that profits will be lower this year in the face of "challenging" market conditions.

The group said it expected earnings this year before interest and tax (EBITA) to be about 20% down on 2015.
It blamed continuing pressures on margins as a result of "expected lower activity" by oil and gas firms.
The Aberdeen-based firm said its profit expectations for the year were "in line with current analyst consensus expectations" of about $377m (Â£261m).
In a statement, Wood said: "Year to date financial performance, although down on 2015, continues to benefit from the breadth of our offering, our focus on management of utilisation in response to demand, and structural overhead cost savings."
It added: "Our continued focus on reducing costs, improving efficiency and broadening our service offering through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions, positions us as a strong and balanced business in both the current environment and for when market conditions recover.
"A trading update for the first half of the year will be provided on 30 June 2016."
Wood recently announced a series of major contract wins, including two new contracts in Iraq worth a combined $140m, and a $500m deal to provide services for BP-operated offshore projects in Azerbaijan.
The group operates in more than 50 countries. Its three businesses - Wood Group PSN, Wood Group Kenny and Wood Group Mustang - provide a range of engineering, production support and maintenance management services to the oil and gas and power generation industries.

The Glasgow-based firm, which assembles generators at a plant in Dumbarton, also said revenue for the first six months was down 12% to £661m.
Reasons for the slump include the weaker state of the North American energy industry and refining markets. Revenue in that sector was down 20%.
The firm has also had costs associated with a troubled contract in Bangladesh.
It has also set aside an extra $17m (£13m) for bad debt in supplying power to Venezuela.
Aggreko said, however, that it had been winning larger orders for generating capacity to make up for power shortfalls in other developing nations, including Brazil and Zimbabwe.
Its half-year figures also show that supply of temporary power to industry has been stronger in Europe and Australia-Pacific.
There has also been growth in orders from Russia, Africa and the Middle East, despite the low oil price.
Aggreko chief executive Chris Weston said: "The trading environment in this first six months has been difficult, with the lower oil price continuing to impact a number of our markets.
"We are holding our guidance for the full year while recognising the importance of securing key contract extensions".
Aggreko has repeatedly been the major supplier of temporary power to the major sporting events but pulled out of bidding for contracts linked to the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games due to delays and uncertainty.

Question: Captain Greig Laidlaw says he always felt Scotland were good enough to win matches in this season's Six Nations.

And the Gloucester scrum-half, 30, insists they are now "proving it to themselves and to others".
After defeats in the opening two matches, Scotland now sit third in the championship table after victories away to Italy and at home to France.
"We felt we were that close right from the start," Laidlaw told BBC Scotland.
"We were bitterly disappointed with the way we played in that England game but the Welsh game I thought we played fantastically well.
"We're delighted to win the last couple of games and prove it to ourselves and to other people as well."
Laidlaw is able to pinpoint the differences that have turned defeats into victories.
"Defensively we have really fronted up as a team," the former Edinburgh player explained.
"We're not conceding as many tries, which goes a long way to solving problems.
"The set piece has been outstanding, you need that to launch into the game, and I think we're just causing teams a lot of problems by holding on to the ball."
Scotland complete their tournament away to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday, when Craig Joubert will be running the line.
The South African refereed Scotland's World Cup quarter-final against Australia last year and awarded a controversial penalty that allowed the Wallabies to earn a narrow victory.
When asked if Scotland would be motivated to play well and show Joubert their displeasure at his handling of that agonising loss to Australia, Laidlaw replied: "I don't know, it's an unanswerable question isn't it?
"Craig Joubert won't affect us as a team come the weekend. You can't worry about referees or touch judges. If we start doing that we take our eye off the ball and on our role."

England can win the Grand Slam when they take on Ireland in their final game in Dublin on 17 March.
England U20 coach Tom Williams said: "We have sown up the Six Nations title this evening but we all want the Grand Slam - that is what we set out to achieve at the start of the competition.
"Ireland are going to be a real handful next week and it will be a massive game playing for the Grand Slam on St Patrick's Day."
That match will take place the day before the senior England side visit Ireland in a bid for their own Grand Slam, after thrashing Scotland 61-21 on Saturday.
