Question: Hospitals in England will have to ensure senior doctors and key diagnostic tests are available seven days a week under new plans.

The measures form part of a vision unveiled by NHS England to tackle higher death rates at weekends.
The changes, proposed by medical director Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, will be applied to urgent and emergency services over the next three years.
Sir Bruce said the case for change was clinically and morally "compelling".
The British Medical Association, which represents doctors, said the case for seven-day services had been made and the focus needed to shift to delivering it.
Research suggests death rates are 16% higher for patients with emergency conditions admitted on Sundays compared with those admitted on Wednesdays.

Sir Bruce told BBC One's Andrew Marr show "society has moved on and people expect more and more from services at the weekend".
"It seems strange in many ways that we should start to wind down on a Friday afternoon and warm up on a Sunday... and [in the] meantime people are waiting for diagnosis and treatment," he said.
He said that, historically, the NHS had been good at providing a five-day-a-week service but medicine had advanced.
Sir Bruce said junior doctors felt particularly stressed at weekends because of the complexity of cases, and often felt "unsupported".
"We worry about that, not only because it may relate to the higher mortality rates, but also because it implies that we could be training the next generation of doctors better," he said.
The proposals, which will be discussed by the board of NHS England on Tuesday, set out 10 new clinical standards for hospitals.
These include:
Sir Bruce said organisations would need to be "absolutely transparent" about whether they were meeting these standards.
He said the changes would be contractually binding. It is possible a clause in consultants' contracts stating organisations could not compel them to work at the weekend could be removed, he said.
By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent
Anyone who has been in hospital will be aware of the change of pace the weekend brings.
Theatres lie empty, equipment is turned off and there are noticeably fewer staff around.
It is, therefore, no surprise that many believe a truly seven-day service is long overdue.
This review has provided a vision for what services could look like. But the big question now is how it can be implemented.
The NHS is in the middle of its biggest savings drive in history and there remains much work to be done to get hospital consultants fully signed up.
This promises to be just the start of a long process.
"These are pretty radical changes with some pretty hard levers behind them," he said.
He had earlier said a system of incentives, rewards and sanctions would be built into contracts by 2016-17 to encourage hospitals to follow the new standards.
Breaches could cost hospitals up to 2.5% of their annual income of up to Â£500m, and they could face losing their right to use junior doctors.
Sir Bruce told the Marr show the changes would cost about 1.5-2% of the annual running costs of the hospital and said he was confident about finding money from other parts of the NHS to pay for the plans.
More consultants working weekends would stop inappropriate admissions and diagnoses would be speeded up, in turn helping hospitals run more efficiently financially, he said.
"We believe the arguments for this are absolutely compelling both clinically and morally," he said.
Dean Royles, of NHS Employers, which represents hospitals, told BBC Breakfast the review "seals the deal" on the case for seven-day working.
Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the British Medical Association Council, backed the changes, saying "there should be no calendar lottery when it comes to patient care".
He said the BMA was in negotiations with NHS Employers and the government to find an "affordable, practical model for delivering this care" while safeguarding doctors' work-life balance.
But Prof Chris Ham, of health think tank the Kings Fund, said there were concerns over funding because many hospitals were already struggling and financial pressures would only grow.
The Patients Association said: "Our lives and health are totally dependent upon this vital service and we look forward to its implementation with the least possible delay."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has commended the move, while shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the government needed to clearly set out how it will be paid for.
The Welsh government has not ruled out seven-day working, while the Scottish administration has committed to having consultants in wards seven days a week.
A review in Northern Ireland earlier this year found disparities in out-of-hours hospital care, compared to weekdays, and said specialist consultant ward rounds and formal weekend handovers were needed.

Russell Hopkins, who used to manage the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, was left with bladder and nerve damage after an operation in the area in 2011.
He chose to speak out because he claims patients' lives are "endangered".
Cardiff and Vale health board offered "unreserved apologies once again" to Mr Hopkins for his distress.
Mr Hopkins, now living in Newport, Pembrokeshire, is a former consultant oral maxillofacial surgeon at the University Hospital of Wales, and a former chair of the British Medical Association in Wales.
He is one of eight consultants who wrote to the Daily Telegraph calling for the proper staffing of NHS wards at weekends.
He underwent hip surgery at Llandough Hospital near Cardiff in 2011, during which he said a spinal anaesthetic caused a bleed in his spinal column.
"When you get things like that you have got to be decompressed within eight to 12 hours at best - certainly within 24 hours - to relieve the pressure," he told BBC Wales.
"I didn't see a senior doctor despite me telling the nurses there were things wrong.
"Nobody paid any attention until my daughter - who's a hospital consultant - rang up from London and said 'what's wrong with my father'?"
Mr Hopkins said it was four days before he was seen by a consultant.
By the time he was investigated, he said a spinal surgeon told him: "There's no point in doing it."
As a result, Mr Hopkins said he suffered urinary problems which meant "I have been disabled in my plumbing."
He says problems are occurring throughout the NHS "fundamentally because some consultants" - not all - "are no longer looking after their patients in the way they used to do because there's a timetable system in place - the management will pay for that, but nothing else".
He added: "You cannot timetable a doctor to see how Mr Bloggs is doing because that's not on the timetable. It would have to be done in their own time.
"An increasing amount have stopped going to see their patients post-operation, and are leaving it to juniors."
Mr Hopkins said he was seen by a junior doctor after his operation and "the junior doctor didn't spot it".
"I'm not embittered, because I'm not that sort of chap," he added.
"But I have been angry with the health service for some time. The politicians have messed it up."
He said he wanted members of the public to know about his experience because he felt as someone with his experience could be affected so could others.
A spokesperson for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: "As a health board, we understand how frustrating and upsetting it is for patients when things don't go right, because we share that frustration.
"We are working very hard with our staff and surgical teams to put in place systems which mean there are always experienced colleagues available.
"While we can't comment in detail on the case of Mr Hopkins, we are aware of his concerns and have been in communication with him on the issues he raises.
"We would like to take this opportunity to offer our unreserved apologies once again to Mr Hopkins for the distress he and his family have experienced."
Mr Hopkins said "horrendous stories" about the NHS were reported every day, adding: "The damage done in the last 20 years in the profession has endangered patients.
"I'm angry for what has happened to the profession and I'm angry for the patients."
The three solutions, he says, are firstly to train undergraduates on the wards, shadowing doctors, as well as nurses, who he says "don't do any active clinical work during their three years of training".
Working time directives also have to be addressed, he says, because "if you do shift work you get a scenario where people might say 'it's not my problem, I'm off'."
Finally, he says something needs to be done to improve the professionalism of consultants because "the politicians and managers are destroying the professional values. It's about checking boxes, targets and numbers".
Mr Hopkins is one of the doctors and surgeons who wrote a joint letter to the Telegraph.
Referring to Mr Hopkins's case, the letter says: "The after-care of a hip operation failed him catastrophically, the NHS repaying a lifetime of service with negligence and long-term disability."
It adds: "We, the other signatories, are experienced consultants who share his analysis of how the system failed him and why it fails so many others."
The Welsh government said in a statement: "Every year, the NHS in Wales cares for thousands of patients safely and effectively, and the vast majority are entirely satisfied with their care.
"Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has already responded to Mr Hopkins' specific claims."
The letter from surgeons came as proposals are unveiled which mean hospitals in England would have to ensure senior doctors and key diagnostic tests are available seven days a week under new plans.
The measures form part of a vision unveiled by NHS England to tackle the higher death rates at weekends.
The changes, proposed by medical director Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, will be applied to urgent and emergency services over the next three years.
It comes after a year-long inquiry into NHS care in England following concerns over higher death rates on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Welsh government said health boards and council social services have produced joint plans for the first time this year to manage winter pressures, while an government official did not rule out seven day working as part of an overhaul.
Dr Grant Robinson, the Welsh government's clinical lead for unscheduled care, said radical changes were needed to the system.
"Sometimes there are some big game changers  - seven day working is a radical change that as the potential to help," he said.

Question: We should not be afraid of debt or borrowing, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has told his Welsh party conference.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Speaking in Llandudno, he said debt did not stop Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government from reforms, including creating the National Health Service and building council homes.
Mr Corbyn - whose party has been riven with rows since his election - also made a plea for Labour unity.
"United we stand, divided we fall," he said.
Following Mr Corbyn's speech First Minister Carwyn Jones told conference Labour will scrap child burial fees in Wales.
Mr Corbyn, whose appearance at conference was delayed by an hour, said: "As any homeowner who has ever had a mortgage knows, taking on a huge debt can save you money in the long run.
"We should not be afraid of debt or borrowing.
"At the end of the Second World War the Labour government of Clement Attlee didn't say, oh dear, debt is 250% of GDP, let's park those grand ideas about public ownership, a national health service, building council homes, or creating the protection of social security.
"No, they built a country to be proud of. They established the institutions that made out country fairer, more equal, and stopped people being held back, because of the poverty of where they were born."
He urged the Conservatives to "stop dithering" and start investing.
The Labour Party leader said what Labour had achieved in Wales "stands as a beacon... that shines a light on the Tories abject failure, socially, economically and morally".
He reeled off a list of devolved policies for praise, telling delegates that Wales the only country in the UK to show an improvement in ambulance response times.
Mr Corbyn said Labour would build homes, make the minimum wage Â£10 an hour by 2020 and repeal the UK government Trade Union Act.
At the end of his speech, Mr Corbyn said: "It's quite simple - united we stand divided we fall.
"And united I believe this great party can do things together to achieve for the people that need Labour councils and, above all, need a Labour government and a society based on social justice and equality, not greed and inequality."
Mr Corbyn, however, slipped up by referring to Llandudno as being in Denbighshire when it is in the county of Conwy.
The conference opened on Saturday with a minute's silence following Wednesday's terror attack in Westminster.
Welsh Labour chair Donna Hutton said: "I know that all our thoughts are with the victims, their families, their friends and their colleagues."

He said a "confident, authentic Welsh Labour brand" has helped the party avoid a repeat of its fate in Scotland.
Mr Jones also said sniping between the rival camps in the leadership election was a "gift" to Labour's opponents.
The first minister has not publicly backed any candidate, but said Jeremy Corbyn would be "an unusual choice".
Writing on the New Statesman's website, Mr Jones said: "In the coming months and years we will want more freedom to develop our own Welsh Labour identity, and I look forward to hearing more from the leadership candidates about how they can support us in this."
He said Labour needed "the right structures to grow the party in an increasingly federal UK".
The first minister also appealed to the party to pull together, saying a description of Blairites as a "virus" was "totally unacceptable and has no place whatsoever in civilised political discourse".
The term was used by Dave Ward, boss of the Communication Workers Union, a supporter of left-winger Mr Corbyn, who will be campaigning in Wales next week.
Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are the other contenders to succeed Ed Miliband as Labour party leader.
The winner, chosen by a vote of party members, will be declared on September 12.

Question: A plan to unofficially rename the assembly as the Welsh Parliament has been watered down.

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

AMs had been due to vote on the idea on Tuesday, but the Welsh Government-led motion was postponed.
It has been re-tabled for next Tuesday, but with the term Welsh Parliament dropped and Presiding Officer Elin Jones asked to examine renaming the body.
The Welsh Tories said the government had "overestimated its influence".
The Welsh Government said it had worked with Ms Jones to agree the motion.
There have been calls made for the assembly to be renamed to the Welsh Parliament for a number of years, with Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies saying in 2012 the assembly was a parliament "in all but name".
Jane Hutt, Labour's chief whip in the assembly, had originally tabled a motion to be voted on by AMs that said that the National Assembly for Wales agrees "its name should be changed to the 'Welsh Parliament' at the earliest opportunity".
The motion added that the institution "should be known unofficially by that name until such a name change can be formalised".
But the revised motion now says "the assembly should change its name to reflect its constitutional status as a national parliament".
Ms Hutt's new motion also "invites the presiding officer and assembly commission to consider the implications of such a change and how best to give it effect".
Bethan Jenkins, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales West, will try to amend the motion to say that the Welsh language word Senedd - currently used to refer to the building that houses the assembly chamber - should be used to the institution itself.
The word Senedd is also used in Welsh to refer to the UK Parliament.
Spokespeople from the Welsh Government and the assembly said the presiding officer and ministers were happy to work with each other on the wording of the motion.
A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "The original phrasing of the motion would suggest that the Welsh Government had originally overestimated its influence in this matter."
"Their mistake is evident from the subsequent re-phrasing of the motion," he said.
"We welcome the role of the Presiding Officer in defending the autonomy of the assembly and look forward to this proposal being taken forward if it secures the majority vote of the assembly."

Lib Dem MP Mark Williams will now introduce a bill to devolve the power.
He said it was time Wales was given the say that Scotland gained over St Andrew's Day nearly a decade ago.
"It should be within the spirit of the devolution settlement that Wales, like Scotland and Northern Ireland, has the same powers to determine these matters," the Ceredigion MP said.
A previous plan was unveiled in 2011 to devolve such a power to Cardiff Bay but it was later dropped.

Question: A pony and its teenage rider had to be rescued after falling into a peat bog.

The pair were on an organised ride in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk when they strayed about a foot off the path and plunged into the quagmire.
The 14-year-old girl was pulled out by a member of the Finn Valley Riding Club but it took a further 15 minutes to "encourage" the pony out of the mud. Neither rider nor pony were injured.
The Forestry Commission, which manages the land, said it was investigating.
The riding club's chairman James Smith had marked out the course at about 06:00 BST on Sunday and said conditions were damp, but there was "nothing untoward at all".

When he heard about the accident, at about 11:30, he cycled down the path to where the girl and pony had fallen.
The teenager was quickly pulled out by another rider, but the 14.2 hands-high pony had sunk up to its shoulders.
"When I got there it was eating grass at the side of the bog, so it was pretty relaxed. I was more fearful it might be exhausted from thrashing around, but in fact it wasn't," Mr Smith said.
He and others helped the pony out of the mud.
"James went above and beyond, and was up to his waist in that stinking bog," said the girl's mother, who did not wish to be named.
A Forestry Commission spokesman said: "We will review the event with the riding club to fully understand the circumstances of this incident and see if additional controls are needed to try and stop this happening again, and keep riders and their horses safe on the bridleway."

They include a sheep that got her head stuck in a traffic cone and a gull that turned bright orange after falling into a vat of cold curry.
The stories represent just a fraction of the rescues the RSPCA was called out to, but not all have happy endings.
Over the Christmas period alone, from 18 to 27 December, the charity rescued 10,515 animals.
Juno the five-month old schnauzer got her head wedged between railings while on an afternoon walk in Stockport.
The puppy was released by the RSPCA with the help of the fire service after her owner raised the alarm on 23 March.
She was completely uninjured. An RSPCA spokesman said: "Her tail was wagging as soon as we got her free."
A couple in Yorkshire got a surprise when they found a corn snake in their airing cupboard.
The snake had slithered inside a vacuum cleaner by the time RSPCA officer Lucy Green arrived at the home in Boroughbridge on 28 October.
"It was quite a surprise to flip the head of the vacuum cleaner over and see the snake's little orange head poking out," she said.
The snake turned out to be a missing pet called Vecky. It was later reunited with his owner.
A horse somehow managed to get all four of her legs stuck over a footbridge in Alfreton in Derbyshire.
A dog walker spotted her with three legs trapped on one side of the bridge and one leg on the other on 27 September.
Following the rescue, the charity said: "The horse is stable and was not seriously injured during the ordeal."
Tabby cat Maggie May was following her owner down the stairs when she got wedged under a stairlift in Kendal on 5 October.
She was trapped by her stomach and back legs, but RSPCA inspector Chris Towler managed to lift the seat off her using a car jack.
A check-up revealed she was totally unscathed.
A gull was stained bright orange after falling into a vat of cold Tandoori curry in Newport, south Wales, on 2 August.
The RSPCA took him to Vale Wildlife Hospital near Tewkesbury, where he was cleaned up before being released back into the wild.

Pet goldfish were rescued twice in one month from the same culvert in Abergavenny - two on 22 March and four more on 30 March.
Inspectors believe they may have been let loose into the water system before being trapped by the entrance to the open drain.
They were all healthy and were later rehomed in an outdoor pond.
The RSPCA was called to reports of a sheep being "trapped", so was surprised to find a ewe with a traffic cone on her head.
The sheep was spotted at a farm in Chorleywood in Hertfordshire on 4 December.
Inspector Rachel Smith said she had to sneak up on the ewe so she was not scared away.
"I managed to grab the cone and she backed away from me, so she popped right out," she said.
The sheep was uninjured, the RSPCA said, but probably felt "a little sheepish".
A podgy toad became stuck - with his bum and back legs sticking in the air - when he tried to squeeze through a gap in garden decking.
RSPCA inspector Jason Finch had to saw the decking to free him, after being called to the garden in Norwich on 20 July.

Question: Ridley Scott's return to directing a film in the Alien franchise has received mixed reviews ahead of its UK and US release.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence:

Alien: Covenant, which is out in the UK on Friday, is the sequel to Scott's 2012 Prometheus and stars Michael Fassbender and Katherine Winterston.
The Guardian said the "parasitic space alien has returned for this watchable if unoriginal sci-fi thriller".
But The Telegraph said the film was "grandiose" and "exhilarating".
"To want more Alien after this... would be to want to see something very odd indeed," Robbie Collin continued. "But Covenant leaves the mythos feeling riper and more vitalised than ever."
In The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw went on to say: "The vu has never been so deja: It's a greatest-hits compilation of the other Alien films' freaky moments.
"The paradox is that though you are intended to recognise these touches, you won't really be impressed unless you happen to be seeing them for the first time."
The Independent described it as a "mightily impressive piece of cinematic engineering".
"Every second here is tinged with dark foreboding, with the relentless tension that marked the 1979 original," the paper's Clarisse Loughrey said.
The Mirror was equally effusive, saying: "Scott's final theatrical flourish sends the franchise spinning out in a new direction. This is screamingly great cinema."
In the US, where the movie comes out on 19 May, Variety magazine was firmly on the fence, saying the film was "more of the same, which is both a relief to fans and a letdown to those hoping it might pave new ground".
Its reviewer Peter Debruge concluded: "As acts of creation go, Scott has made an Alien movie for that segment of the audience that has always rooted for the monster."
In the Hollywood Reporter, the verdict was considerably more enthusiastic, saying the film was "gripping through its full two hours and spiked with some real surprises".
"This beautifully made sci-fi thriller will immeasurably boost fan interest in the run of prequels which Scott has recently said will consist of at least two more films until the action catches up to the 1979 original," it said.

The comedy sequel earned more in its first weekend than the $65m that the first film pulled in over the course of its entire US run in cinemas.
Universal's Nick Carpou described the musical sequel's success as "amazing".
Directed by actress Elizabeth Banks, it marks the highest ever opening for a first-time feature film director.
"People loved the first movie and it resonated well beyond that $65m that the first film did," said Carpou, Universal's domestic distribution chief. "To be able to build on the first film and expand its popularity is pretty amazing."
The film sees Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson reprising their original roles, alongside newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, as the fictional a capella singing group The Barden Bellas.
The story sees the Bellas square off against German aca-champions Das Sound Machine in an international singing contest.
Tom Hardy's turn as the reinvented Mad Max - filling the shoes of Mel Gibson 30 years on - racked up $44.4m, having received positive reviews when it premiered at Cannes Film Festival last week.
"A lot of people coming to the movie went purely on the reviews," said Warner Bros' Dan Fellman, calling the film "an incredible ride this is that it's going to propel us right into the meat of the summer".
However the film remains a long way from profit. Pitch Perfect 2 cost a modest $29m to produce, while Mad Max: Fury Road carries a significant $150m price tag.

Question: The end of Bernie Ecclestone's stewardship of Formula 1 has appeared close on a number of occasions over the last few years, so it is with a degree of caution that one discusses the latest episode that may seem to signal it again.

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

But the likely takeover of the sport's commercial arm by US giant Liberty Media does look like one of those occasions that could well signal the beginning of the end for a man whose diminutive stature belies his giant influence over the huge arena he has dominated for 40 years.
The smart money in F1 says Liberty will not divest themselves of the 85-year-old's influence immediately and that Ecclestone will stay on for a while, even if it is only to allow some form of transition.
Meanwhile, his remarks to The Times that he will "say adios" if he does not like the "noises" coming from the new bosses are a reminder that he likes to be in control. It is the very essence of the way he has run the sport all these years.
But whether Ecclestone is kept on in the interim or not, his time at the top of the sport must surely be running out - if only because of the inevitability of time passing.
When he does finally go, it will signal the end of one of the more remarkable careers for administrators and impresarios in any sport.
During his stewardship, Ecclestone has turned an essentially niche activity into a global phenomenon, a sporting spectacle whose reach is surpassed only by the Olympics and football World Cup.
His success in doing so is beyond doubt, but even before the Liberty takeover, uncomfortable questions were being asked about whether the time for change was not already overdue.
Ecclestone has been reluctant to embrace the internet age, and even now seems to struggle with the concept of how to move on from his tried and tested formula - or even accept whether he needs to.
His success was built on a simple plan based around selling F1 as a complete package to a major broadcaster in each country for the highest possible amount.
Significant revenue was also secured by extracting fees so large from race organisers for the privilege of hosting a grand prix that it has become almost impossible to stage one without support from a national government.
This creates an annual global revenue in the region of $1.5bn but younger minds in F1 wonder whether it should be much larger given the sport's reach. Some have talked about reshaping the model for the digital age.
Under Liberty that seems inevitable, but how successfully it is done remains to be seen.
Even as F1 is poised for a takeover that values the sport at $8.5bn, there are questions about just how healthy the sport really is.
Apart from Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, pretty much all the teams are struggling to make ends meet.
Many races in Europe, the heartland of the sport and its main fanbase, are struggling to meet Ecclestone's high demands - even if historic races such as Silverstone and Monza attract huge attendances and TV figures are holding up well in traditional markets such as Britain and Germany.
Meanwhile the 'new' races, many in countries with questionable regimes, struggle to attract spectators and create a decent spectacle.
The need to satisfy the demands of owners CVC, a private equity group, has meant F1 is increasingly moving away from terrestrial television in favour of pay channels.
This inevitably shrinks the audience, raising questions about how it will attract younger fans.
These declining audiences have led to new regulations for 2017 aimed at increasing the sport's apparently diminishing appeal - but it is questioned whether the rule changes will actually achieve what is intended.
F1's tyre supplier has been chosen owing to its willingness to pay large amounts of money and bend to Ecclestone's demands rather than its product satisfying teams and drivers.
Those tyres have had a questionable effect on the racing, guaranteeing pit stops and differentiations of pace while preventing drivers from pushing to the maximum as they have in the past.
After six years, this has finally been recognised as a problem and there is a new tyre design for 2017. Again, though, it remains to be seen whether it works.
Addressing the issues Liberty bosses will find in their in-tray will not be easy.
That said, the group only wants to buy F1 because of the level Ecclestone has taken it to.
He started his involvement with the commercial side of the sport in the early 1970s, when he owned the Brabham team.
The path to his current position began when he offered to look after the team's commercial relationships with key outside bodies - the circuits, governing body, and particularly negotiating the television rights, which had previously been handled on a haphazard race-by-race basis.
It's unlikely Ecclestone foresaw then the billion-dollar business F1 would become, but he certainly recognised the chance to make a lot of money, and wasted little time in building his influence.
He persuaded television companies to buy F1 as a package, rather than pay for individual races. That vastly increased exposure, and the sport's popularity grew, at first slowly then increasingly quickly.
The system endures to this day; in exchange for being granted permission to run the TV rights, he gave the teams an annual payment.
Already very rich, the sheer scale of his current wealth - he is reputed to be worth more than £2bn - arose from two key decisions made by the sport's governing body, run at the time by Ecclestone's friend and long-time associate Max Mosley.
The first, in the mid 1990s, meant Ecclestone's own company became the rights holder of F1, taking over from the teams' collective body Ecclestone previously ran.
The second, in 2000, granted Ecclestone the commercial rights to F1 until the end of 2110 for a one-off fee of $360m. Even then, many were shocked by the relatively paltry amount of money that changed hands to secure such a lucrative and lengthy deal.
Some of the teams opposed the granting of the TV rights, saying they were being robbed. But the complainants were eventually bought off, and he set about monetising his new asset with a dizzying number of deals that sold the rights through a series of companies.
One of the many financial transactions that led to F1's current ownership was the sale by German bank BayernLB of its 47.2% stake in F1 to CVC in 2006.
This ultimately led to the court cases on bribery charges that Ecclestone fought and survived a couple of years ago - and which he ended by paying the German courts $100m to end the case, without a presumption of guilt or innocence.
More than a few people marvelled at the perfectly legal arrangement that allowed a man charged with bribery to pay to end a criminal trial.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Those court cases were the biggest threat to Ecclestone's position, but have not been the only ones - some arising from the ill-advised public comments he occasionally makes.
He has referred to women as "domestic appliances", praised Adolf Hitler for "being able to get things done", and suggested it would be a good idea if Vladimir Putin ran Europe. That he wasn't sacked for any one of those remarks is a reflection of his ability to make money for his employers.
However in recent years CVC has hinted at less tolerance while his ability to run the sport unchecked has diminished as the manufacturers have worked together to ensure he cannot run amok.
Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault and Honda joining forces in 2014 to prevent him dumping the expensive but revolutionary turbo hybrid engines is one example.
Despite his flaws, he remains a skilled deal maker and if the Liberty deal is to prove the development that finally sees Ecclestone off, replacing him will not be easy.
The likelihood is a more corporate structure will be adopted, with a chairman and bosses of the various arms of the company working together to do what one man has run largely singlehandedly for the last few decades.
When Ecclestone does ultimately leave, F1 will clearly evolve.
A US-based media group is likely to want F1 to have more of a foothold in America than just one race in Texas, a move that will compromise Ecclestone's preferred modus operandi of simply finding someone rich enough to put up the money for a race.
A more equitable distribution of revenue to the teams would increase F1's stability, and a US-style franchise system guaranteeing their position would take that a step further.
The possibilities of the internet and social media to grow the audience will surely be pursued with much more vigour too.
Whenever he finally goes, one thing is certain - F1 would not be what it is today without the efforts of this remarkable man.

And yet somehow the Suzuka weekend was all about the German's Mercedes team-mate, who provided drama both on and off the circuit.
As Rosberg dominated the competitive action, Lewis Hamilton made headlines for the wrong reasons. On track, he looked out of sorts for much of practice. And although he came oh so close to beating Rosberg to pole position, another bad start led to a difficult race and a third place that takes the title race out of his control.
Rosberg will not approach it this way, but all the German needs to do now is finish second to Briton Hamilton in the four remaining races and a first world title will be his.
They say that an elite sportsman should clear his mind of unnecessary distractions - Sir Jackie Stewart calls it mind-management. Hamilton, though, was not taking that approach in Japan.
There have been questions about how Hamilton handled the Singapore weekend where he was dominated by Rosberg two races ago, with it leaking out that he was "not really on it" there.
But according to insiders at Mercedes, there was no questioning his commitment to the task in terms of his work in private with the team in these past two races in Malaysia and Japan.
In public, though, things did not go so well at Suzuka.
Hamilton was, to put it politely, disengaged from his primary responsibilities in the official pre-race news conference on Thursday.
Rather than answer questions about his remarks following his retirement with engine failure in Malaysia, he referred questioners to his social media outlets, where he had posted messages in support of his Mercedes team.
While other drivers answered questions, Hamilton spent considerable time on his smartphone. It soon emerged he was posting on the social network Snapchat pictures of himself and fellow driver Carlos Sainz with bunny ears and rabbit faces.
Hamilton said he found this "quite funny". Some will agree; others won't. Such is the way of humour.
In terms of his general detachment during the news conference, some journalists felt it inappropriate and wrong; others were not bothered. Again, such is the way of things.
Afterwards, though, a respected journalist went down to the Mercedes area to tell Hamilton he thought he should not have behaved in such a manner.
Later, Hamilton posted two messages on Twitter. "Today was meant to be fun," he said, "not at all disrespectful. Some people take themselves too seriously. I had a blast, highlight of my day!
"Re press conference, it's been the same for 10 years. It's not the media or mediator, it's the format. Fans should be asking the questions!"
Inevitably, Hamilton's behaviour was highlighted more on some media outlets than others. None of the reports went particularly hard on him, in the way they sometimes can. But he seemed to take offence at some of them and on Saturday he made his feelings clear.
At his post-qualifying news conference in the Mercedes motorhome, he sat down, tapping his fingers on the small table in front of him. He was smiling. The journalists were smiling back. So was the Mercedes communications boss. Hamilton turned to his colleague: "You're not going to be smiling in a minute.
Then he addressed the media: "I'm not here to answer your questions, I've decided.
"With the utmost respect, there are many of you here who are super-supportive of me and they hopefully know I know who they are. There are others, unfortunately, that often take advantage of certain things.
"The other day was a super light-hearted thing, and if I was disrespectful to any of you guys, or if you felt I was disrespectful, it was honestly not the intention. It was just a little bit of fun. But what was more disrespectful was what was then written worldwide.
"Unfortunately, there are some people here who it is not them who has done it. And unfortunately the decision I will take affects those who have been super-supportive, so that is why I am saying with the utmost respect.
"But I don't really plan on sitting here many more times for these kind of things so my apologies and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend."
And with that, he walked out.
On race morning, I went down to Mercedes to ask team boss Toto Wolff what he made of the events of the weekend.
"Let him do his talking on the track," Wolff said. "His performance in the car justifies some collateral damage."
Wolff is an approachable and likeable man with an easy manner and a strong sense of humour, and he was genuinely relaxed about the situation.
After the race, he sat down in his own news conference as a couple of journalists were sharing a joke about an unrelated matter.
"You are laughing now," Wolff joked, in obvious reference to Hamilton's remarks the previous day, "but you won't be laughing later."
Be in no doubt, though, that Wolff's charm is allied to a streak of steel. In the nicest possible way, he made it clear that he would be sitting down with Hamilton before the next race in Austin, USA.
It is unlikely their chat will be confined to building Hamilton back up again after the disappointments of an engine failure in Malaysia and a defeat by Rosberg in Japan left him 33 points adrift in the championship and needing some kind of major problem to befall the German to get back into the fight.
Later, Wolff made a particularly perceptive observation: "Lewis is very strong. He needs the enemy. Sometimes more than one. That's how he functions."
Hamilton is not the first F1 driver to do so, but why he needs to make his enemy the media is not clear. The same can be said for his apparent lack of understanding - after 10 years in F1 - of the fact that it is not the media's job to support him. They are there to report what happens objectively and fairly.
The suggestion from some who should know is that Hamilton's actions on Saturday were a reaction to the pressure of the weekend - the combination of his irritation at some of the coverage with the fact he had been out-qualified by Rosberg at a race at which Hamilton badly needed to beat his team-mate.
There is no doubt that his behaviour has put Mercedes in an uncomfortable situation. They cannot afford to have their major star at loggerheads with the media, especially over what is essentially a storm in a teacup, and it is hard to imagine they will let the tension linger for too long.
For all his wealth and star status, Hamilton needs his team and has an obligation to them.
As a result, it would be a surprise if the situation was not resolved sooner rather than later. How exactly that will happen, though, is another matter.
Now F1 is getting to the business end of this season, the shape of the new one is falling into place. The line-ups of most of the major teams have been resolved, but there are still question marks over, particularly, Renault.
While there is no official word, several sources said in Japan that Nico Hulkenberg would next year join the French team from Force India.
Renault is keen to have an established and proven quantity to lead their team as they enter what will effectively be the first real season of their new venture, this one being very much a transition year after their late takeover of Lotus last winter.
Hulkenberg has a contract for 2017 with Force India, who are far more competitive at the moment than his likely destination. But he has been tempted by a multi-year contract on serious money with a factory team and is expected to make the move, and the word from inside Force India is they will not stand in his way.
Meanwhile, it is looking increasingly as if Jenson Button's announcement last month that he would not be racing next year is in fact retirement by another name.
That impression was already building as a result of an inconsistency of the message coming from Button, the odd slip in some of his answers making him sound less likely to be involved on any significant level next season. In Malaysia, he said it was "quite possible" he would never race in F1 again.
In Japan, two sources told BBC Sport over the weekend that it was indeed the case he was effectively retiring.
It is a fact that McLaren have a contractual option for Button to race in 2018, but the chances of them taking that up seem at this stage to be almost zero.
Of course, it's possible that Button's replacement Stoffel Vandoorne will struggle - although it would be a major surprise given how impressive he was on his debut in Bahrain this year.
And even if Fernando Alonso decides to call it a day at the end of next year, Sebastian Vettel will be on the market. The German's honeymoon at Ferrari is well and truly over and even though a new contract is on the table, it is far from clear it will be signed.
The best evidence is that Button is heading into the final four races of an illustrious career. For his sake, one has to hope they go better than the dire performance the entire McLaren team showed at engine supplier Honda's home race.

The huge influx of migrants has caused significant political rifts within the EU, with some states inside the border-free Schengen area putting up fences and reimposing frontier controls.
Hungary and Slovakia are taking legal action at the European Court of Justice to challenge EU plans to share asylum seekers across EU states.
Meanwhile, many migrants and refugees are pressing to be allowed to settle in richer northern countries like Germany and Sweden.
Migration passed the symbolic milestone on Monday, the IOM said, with the total for land and sea reaching more than 1,006,000.
Entries via six EU nations - Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Malta and Cyprus - are covered in the report.

The IOM gathers its statistics from registrations, law enforcement agencies and its own monitors.
Its director general, William Lacy Swing, said it was not enough to just count the figures.
"We must also act," he said. "Migration must be legal, safe and secure for all - both for the migrants themselves and the countries that will become their new home."
A joint IOM and UNHCR statement said found a "more co-ordinated European response" was beginning to take shape.
However, it said more needed to be done to improve reception facilities, accommodation and  registration, and to identify those who do and do not qualify for refugee protection.
Save the Children campaigns director Kirsty McNeill said: "This is the test of our European ideal. When children are dying on our doorstep we need to take bolder action. There can be no bigger priority."
The EU last week agreed to increase the numbers of Frontex border agency staff in Greece, a key arrival point.
Germany alone has received a million refugees and migrants this year, although many were already within Europe, particularly in the Balkans.
Macedonia is now refusing to allow anyone through its Greek border who does not come from a war zone.
A UN report also last week warned that the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide would "far surpass" 60 million this year.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

Thousands of migrants have arrived this year on Kos, an island with a population of just 33,000.
EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said in a statement on Friday that the world was facing the "worst refugee crisis since the Second World War."
He announced that Greece would soon receive a first tranche of â‚¬30m (Â£21m; $33.4m) from funds made available to help EU states cope with the crisis.
"Greece needs our support in terms of means, or funding, of expertise," he told the BBC following his statement in Brussels.
The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) says at least 124,000 people reached Greece's shores by sea in the first seven months of 2015 - more than seven times as many as during the same period in 2014.
Nearly all the new arrivals in Greece are refugees fleeing the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, it says.
UNHCR European Director, Vincent Cochetel, has said facilities on the Greek islands are "totally inadequate".
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says almost 34,500 migrants and refugees arrived in the Dodecanese - the group of islands which includes Kos - between January and July this year.
Meanwhile more than 61,600 have arrived on the northern Aegean island of Lesbos and 21,900 on nearby Chios.
The IOM said Turkish efforts to stop traffickers from sending large "ghost ships" crammed with migrants towards Italy has sparked the surge in arrivals in Greece.
More than 225,000 refugees and other migrants have arrived in Europe after crossing the Mediterranean so far this year, according to the UNHCR. About 2,100 are estimated to have died or gone missing on the journey.
The effects of the crisis have been felt from the shores of Italy and Greece to the northern French port of Calais, which is linked by the Channel Tunnel to the UK.

Question: Developers are to press ahead with plans for a new £10m retail park in Fort William after getting the green light from planning authorities to include food outlets.

Morbaine has already signed up Aldi and Home Bargains as tenants for the North Road development.
It said it was also in talks with other retailers, including Marks and Spencer, to fill the other two available units.
Highland Council officials had recommended against a mixed-use park.
Cheshire-based Morbaine previously secured outline planning consent for some 55,000 sq ft of non-food retail use before seeking to expand the type of retailing allowed at the site.
The new proposals include plans to build a roundabout next to the site, along the A82.
Morbaine has said the development could lead to 150 new retail jobs after construction.
Morbaine director Alex Brodie said: "I would like to thank the local community in Fort William and the surrounding area who have been nothing but supportive and constructive over the years and we look forward to providing them with the additional retail options that they have been asking for."
He added: "We will keep the community updated on our progress and let them know more about when the retail park might be open and how local businesses can participate in the construction process."

Conygar had submitted planning applications to build 10 shops, a hotel, multi-screen cinema and restaurants on land at Slade Lane.
But a letter to Pembrokeshire council on 1 June said it wanted to formally withdraw those applications.
Conygar said it was "extremely disappointed" in making the decision.
Earlier this year, the company pulled out of a £100m waterfront development in Pembroke Dock and wrote off its £4.8m investment, saying the project was no longer viable.
In a statement, Conygar said it was "most unfortunate that it has, again, been unable to find common ground with the council on Slade Lane" where it said its plans would "considerably benefit both residents and businesses in Haverfordwest".
It said it had already invested £4m on facilitating the infrastructure at Slade Lade, and remains "committed to delivering a successful development".
This is the second time plans for Slade Lane have fallen through.
Supermarket chain Sainsbury's had planned to build a superstore on the land, bringing 500 jobs, but it pulled out following a review and sold the land to Conygar.
Conygar does still have outline planning permission to build 700 new homes at the site.

Question: Attacks in Aden on a hotel used by Yemen's prime minister and two military installations have killed 15 Saudi-led coalition troops and pro-government fighters, Emirati state media say.

Explosions rocked the Qasr hotel, the headquarters of the UAE's forces in the city and a camp early on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and members of his government escaped unharmed.
The UAE blamed rocket-fire from Houthi rebels, but Islamic State (IS) said suicide bombers were responsible.
Jihadist militants have reportedly been seen on the streets of Aden since southern militiamen backed by coalition forces drove the Houthis out of the city in July before advancing northwards and creating a security vacuum.
Yemeni government spokesman Rajeh Badi told the Associated Press that the Qasr hotel in the al-Buraiqa district, the UAE's military headquarters in the nearby palace of Sheikh Farid al-Awlaqi, and a camp where Emirati troops are housed in the al-Shaab district were all hit by rockets fired from outside the city limits.
The prime minister and his ministers were safe and unhurt, he said.
The official Saudi Press Agency also cited a coalition statement blaming rocket fire. Coalition forces had "responded to the source of fire and destroyed the vehicles" used to launch them, it said.
But a statement posted online by a newly formed IS affiliate, Aden-Abyan Province, asserted that it had carried out four suicide attacks, two of them targeting the Qasr hotel.
The local newspaper Aden al-Ghad had earlier cited Yemeni security sources as saying the explosions were the result of car bombings.
The sources said gunmen armed with automatic weapons and mortars had fought guards stationed at the main gate of the Qasr Hotel, before driving an explosives-packed vehicle into the compound and blowing it up.
The attacks on the other two locations also saw gunmen attack before detonating car bombs, the sources added.
Before IS claimed responsibility, the UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs had blamed the attacks on the Houthis and allied army units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who he claimed were determined to destroy Yemen.
"The situation on the ground shows that they are waging a losing battle and that their role has been diminished to retreating on the ground and to try to inflict damage with mines, ambushes and rockets," Anwar Gargash wrote on Twitter.
The UN says almost 4,900 people, including 2,355 civilians, have been killed in coalition air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen over the past six months.

Both missiles hit the water before reaching the USS Mason, a guided-missile destroyer.
A spokesman for Yemen's rebel Houthi movement told the Saba news agency that it had not targeted any warships.
The incident came eight days after an attack on an Emirati civilian ship that was also blamed on the Houthis.
The UAE government said the high-speed catamaran was carrying aid, wounded Yemenis and passengers when it was hit in the Bab al-Mandab strait.
US Naval Forces Central Command spokeswoman Paula Dunn said in a statement on Monday that the USS Mason had been "conducting routine operations in international waters" north of the strait when it "detected two inbound missiles" around 19:00 (16:00 GMT) on Sunday.
"Both missiles impacted the water before reaching the ship," Ms Dunn said, adding that "there were no injuries to our sailors and no damage to the ship".
"We assess these missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled territory."
However, a Houthi military spokesman told Saba that the charge was "baseless and aimed to cover for the heinous Saudi crime of Saturday's air attacks on the civilian funeral hall in the capital Sanaa", which killed more than 140 people.
A Saudi-led multinational coalition, whose air campaign against the Houthis and their allies is supported by the US, has denied any responsibility.
Also on Monday, the coalition said it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis at the King Fahd Air Base in Taif in central Saudi Arabia, which hosts US military personnel training the kingdom's armed forces.
A missile was also reportedly fired at the Yemeni government-controlled city of Marib in central Yemen.
The UN says at least 4,125 civilians have been killed and 7,207 injured since the coalition intervened in the conflict between forces loyal to Yemen's internationally-recognised government and those allied to the Houthis in March 2015.

Question: A hit-and-run driver who fled a collision in which a man was killed in Dorset is still being hunted a year on.

Christopher Colegate, 69, was found in the road at the junction of Heath Avenue and Darby's Lane in Poole, at about 19:30 GMT on Friday 13 December.
He suffered significant injuries and later died at Poole Hospital.
Despite numerous appeals and rewards of £11,000 being offered, the driver of the car has never been found.
Dorset Police have renewed their appeal for witnesses.
Officers believe a light-coloured VW Golf Mark 4, made between 1998 and 2005, was involved in the collision.
Mr Colegate, from Poole, walked with a "distinctive stoop" and used two walking sticks.
Inspector Matt Butler, of the Dorset Police traffic unit, said: "We still do not know exactly what happened to Mr Colegate.
"We know that a number of cars were in the area at the time of the collision.
"Some we have traced but we have not been able to identify a Golf driver that travelled along Heath Avenue toward Wimborne Road at around the time of the incident."
Dorset Police and Crimestoppers are still offering a £10,000 reward, while Oakdale Conservative Club, which Mr Colegate regularly attended, has offered an extra £1,000.

Question: The winner of the men's race at the Boston Marathon has said he will return his medal to honour the victims of the twin bomb blasts near the finish line.

Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa said he believed sport should be a pleasure - never a battlefield.
He made the announcement after meeting US Secretary of State John Kerry in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
Three people died and 264 were injured in the 15 April blasts. Two brothers are thought to be responsible.
One was killed in a shootout with police and the other was captured.
On Saturday thousands of runners completed the final mile of the Boston Marathon - five weeks after they were forced to abandon the race.
The event was billed as "OneRun", with the slogan: "We'll get our finish."
Three American flags and one Chinese were carried in remembrance of three people who died by the finishing line, and the policeman killed days later by the brothers in the shootout.
Last week, US media reported that the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, had written a message in a boat where he was found which said the attack was retribution for the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The victims, he added, were "collateral damage".
Mr Tsarnaev is facing federal charges of using a weapon of mass destruction, as well as malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Race director Hugh Brasher said organisers wanted to show support for Boston, after the bombings which killed three and injured more than 150.
The UK Foreign Office said it was following up reports that a British national was among the injured.
Met Police chiefs sought to reassure people the London race would be safe.
The Foreign Office was unable to give details of the British national, but did say embassy staff were following up reports of an injury and "stand ready" to offer consulate assistance.
Of the London Marathon, Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "We are reviewing our plans which is sensible... We will increase searching, we will make sure we've got more officers on the street looking after people, making sure they're safe."
He added: "We've no reason to think they're any less safe than they were before the terrible events in Boston yesterday."
Event organisers said the race's runner registration and associated events would begin on Wednesday as planned.
The silent tribute will be held at the start of the elite men's race and mass start.
London Marathon chief executive Nick Bitel earlier said: "The support we have been offered by our stakeholders and the wider running community has been outstanding. We have the full support of the Metropolitan Police, the Mayor's office and other authorities.
"We want to reassure our runners, spectators, volunteers and everyone connected with the event, that we are doing everything to ensure their safety and that the Virgin London Marathon 2013 is an outstanding success."
London Mayor Boris Johnson has also spoken to police about the possibility of extra security on the day.
"We do have robust security measures in place, but given events in Boston it's only prudent for the police and the organisers of Sunday's race to re-examine those security arrangements," he said.
Sports Minister Hugh Robertson said he was "absolutely confident" the London Marathon could be kept safe.
London had "enormous experience" of delivering major events and the UK had some of the best security professionals in the world, he told the BBC, adding: "This is one of those instances where the best way to show solidarity with Boston is to continue."
Home Secretary Theresa May has been briefed on the bombings by Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick and MI5 chief Sir Jonathan Evans.
St James's Palace said Prince Harry would still attend the marathon to make presentations to the winners.
The London Marathon route, which is lined by hundreds of thousands of spectators every year, starts in Blackheath and finishes near Buckingham Palace, passing some of the capital's most recognisable landmarks including Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and Big Ben.
Paula Radcliffe, three times winner of the London marathon, urged people attending the race to be vigilant.
"I have every confidence in the London Marathon community and the Metropolitan Police that they won't let it go ahead unless they have done everything possible," she said in a BBC interview.
"But it's still 26 miles...it's going to be hard. It's going to rely on people being vigilant and aware of what is going on around them as well.
"I think first and foremost as a mother I'd think more about having family at the finish area."
In Boston, the first of the explosions went off close to the marathon finish line at about 14:50 local time (18:50 GMT) on Monday.
Seconds later, as rescuers were rushing to help the injured, another explosion went off nearby.
Among the dead were an eight-year-old boy, Martin Richard, from Boston. Doctors treating the wounded have said a number of people have had pellets and "nail-like" fragments removed from their bodies, and there are reports of several amputations.
According to the Boston Marathon website, 374 of the more than 25,000 registered entrants were British - and Britons caught up in the incident have been describing their experiences.
Marathon runner Lynn Burnet, from Nairn, in the Highlands, told how she sprinted to find her two children after hearing the explosions.
"I heard this awful sound. It was boom, boom. People started to look panicked. I forgot I had run a marathon running to find them," she said.
Ms Burnet then carried one daughter for a mile as they fled to safety.
Former boxing world champion Eamon Loughran, from Ballymena, County Antrim, has described how he prayed as he waited to find out if his wife was safe after the explosions.
He had arranged to meet her at the finishing line but faced a three-hour wait before he was reunited with her.
"I was crying, I was thinking the worst because that's where I told her to be," he said.
Another runner, Owain Griffiths, from Cyncoed in Cardiff, said "a day of enjoyment" had descended into "unthinkable horror".
Police say they have also launched a review of security for the Greater Manchester Marathon, due to take place on Sunday 28 April.

Question: The wife of a plane spotter held in a United Arab Emirates (UAE) prison has said her husband has lost two stone in weight since his detention.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Conrad Clitheroe, 54, was one of three British plane spotters arrested over allegations of suspicious behaviour.
He and Gary Cooper, 45, from Greater Manchester and another expat, were detained near Fujairah Airport for "national security" reasons.
They and Manchester-born Neil Munro, were arrested on 22 February.
The airport, about 80 miles (130km) from Dubai, is where older and rarer aircraft can be seen.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Clitheroe's wife Valerie said his health has been affected.
"When he had a medical this week they weighed him and he has actually lost two stone in six weeks," she said.
"The medication he takes, he has high blood pressure and it has affected his heart, so he has to take quite a lot of medication every single day.
"This is a worry when you're under stressful conditions."
Ms Clitheroe said the family was hopeful for an update on the case next week.
She said: "It is a very slow process. We haven't had any feedback from anybody in the last couple of weeks as to how the case is going.
"Next Sunday, the extension date is up - the extra 30 days they got. We're hoping next Sunday to hear something, whether it is a release - but they could go for another extension on that.
"It has been a very, very difficult time."
Ms Clitheroe added: "Plane spotting isn't illegal in that country, obviously it's not culturally understood, but they have been held for six weeks with no charges at all.
"It seems very unjust to hold somebody for that length of time without any charges."
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokeswoman said: "We are providing consular assistance to the individuals and their families."

Ahmad Zeidan from Reading was sentenced to nine years after he was arrested when cocaine worth about Â£3 was found in the car he was travelling in.
The 22-year-old says he was forced to sign a confession after being tortured for more than a week.
He has twice appealed for government intervention but to no avail.
Zeidan was studying at the Emirates Aviation College in Dubai when he was arrested in December 2013 along with several other young men when 0.04g of cocaine, with a street value of about Â£3, was found in a car he was a travelling in.
He maintains the drugs were not his.
The student was sentenced last summer, despite all of his co-defendants either being pardoned or acquitted.
Both he and his family have twice unsuccessfully requested the government formally petition for him to be released under UAE state prisoner pardons.
Zeidan insists he was coerced into signing a confession in Arabic - which he does not understand - after he was beaten and threatened.
He has now pleaded with ministers to support his request to be freed in a pardon scheduled for next month.
In a direct plea to the British government, he said: "I'm the only British national serving time in Sharjah, and after an unfair trial.
"I'm the only person who hasn't been pardoned now. It's been almost two years now. Get me out of what I'm going through."
He claims to have suffered seizures and experienced flashbacks during his two years in jail following his arrest.
"I'm not coping," he said. "I feel like I am going to self-implode. I'm just holding on to a thin line of something and I feel it's going to run out very soon.
"I try to create my own bubble to escape. The only thing I have are these 15-minute phone calls that I have to interact with the normal world."
Campaigners at legal charity Reprieve have taken up Zeidan's cause.
Maya Foa, from the organisation, said he had suffered a "staggering miscarriage of justice" and was undergoing a "nightmarish ordeal".
"His brutal torture and the use of a bogus 'confession' are more than enough reason for the British government to request his release," she said.
"It is deeply disappointing that ministers have not yet done this."
The Foreign Office said any comment on a continuing legal process would be "inappropriate" but confirmed it had been in regular contact with Zeidan and his family since his arrest to "provide assistance".
Police in the UAE have previously denied claims of torture.

Question: Mention the name Cath Kidston and more often than not the mind will drift to the floral prints the brand is famous for.

Long a staple in the UK where there are now 70 stores, the designs have been growing in popularity around the world.
There are more than 130 stores outside of the UK, in diverse locations from Spain to China and Thailand.
Last month the brand announced the first stores in India will open for business this Autumn.
And next on the list is Latin America. The firm has hired Michael Engelhaupt from Under Armour International, the American sports clothing and accessories company, to drive the expansion forward.
Mr Engelhaupt was head of franchise international and has previously worked for sports brand Adidas.
The company says strong online orders sparked the move into Latin America.
"Over time we expect to expand across the region but initially we will be focused on Mexico and Chile because of the inward interest in Cath Kidston coming from those two markets," says chief executive Kenny Wilson.
"Michael will be talking to potential franchise partners and, as we have done in other markets, we are looking to do a combination of standalone stores and concessions.
"We did research as we do before deciding to go into any new market and this said that there was a market in Latin America and interest for fun, cheerful, British products like Cath Kidston. We are very confident in the consumer appeal in Latin America for our products," he adds.
Cath Kidston has seen notable overseas growth. Its 2015 full year results showed overall group sales increased by 2.4% to Â£118.5m, but international retail sales surged by 20.2% hitting Â£55.3m.
The company is expanding rapidly. Four new stores opened in the UK last year, one in China and 40 franchise stores, including its first Middle East stores.
Franchising has proven a successful tool, particularly so in Japan where double digit sales growth over several years led the company to decide in July 2015 to purchase the Japanese Cath Kidston franchise business of 27 shops back from TSI Holdings subsidiary Sanei International.
The agreement brought the stores under the control of the wholly owned subsidiary, Cath Kidston Japan.
"Japan is our biggest international market and a key part of our strategy to globalise the brand," said Mr Wilson at the time.
The brand's continued success comes in spite of the departure of founder Cath Kidston in November 2014, who retains an 11% stake.
Ms Kidston has credited her country childhood - she grew up in Hampshire - as the inspiration for her English heritage-inspired brand.
She has however admitted that the floral and polka dot patterns are not to everyone's taste, telling Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in 2011: "People either love it and want a little bit of it very much, or want to stab us."
Katrina Rattu, an analyst at Verdict Retail expects the company to continue to flourish.
"Its product offering translates well into diverse markets owing to its strong visual brand identity. Their expansion is based in emerging markets with a growing middle class with a higher disposable income. They are increasingly looking to buy into aspirational brands such as Cath Kidston with strong British values."

It is no longer a connection between the coloniser and colonised, and there is a lot of chatter on how relevant the UK has become to India, but signs of the deep connection between the two countries are undeniable and ever present.
The BBC presents five things that Indians think fondly of about the UK, and vice versa.
The English Premier League
The chants, the roars, the team jerseys and fanatical fan frenzy.
The Indian fan clubs for Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all officially recognised by their parent clubs in the UK, and they organise free screenings of matches for members with discounted food and drinks.
Walk into most bars in Mumbai or Delhi on any weekend evening, and you will be hard pressed to believe that you're actually in India. From fist pumping celebrations to anguished moans to taking celebrations out on to the streets, it's all there.
Whisky
To say that Indians love their whisky would be a gross understatement. The country consumed a whopping 1.5 billion litres of the drink in 2014, which allowed it to retain its spot as the world's largest consumer of whisky, according to a research note from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
This love for whisky is estimated to be worth more than $10bn (Â£6.5bn) and has attracted some pretty serious players like Diageo, which in 2012 bought a 53% stake in India's United Breweries. And who do we have to thank for that? Why the UK of course!
PG Wodehouse, Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie
Jeeves and Wooster, Hercule Poirot, the Famous Five, Miss Marple, Silky and Moonface have been, and continue to be, some of the best loved literary characters in Indian popular imagination.
PG Wodehouse in particular has a cult following in India, and the complete collection of the Jeeves books is a fairly common item in the average Indian library.
Similarly, many Indians grow up on a diet of Enid Blyton, who is also squarely responsible for fostering strong cravings for typical British foods in Indian children, many of whom have vivid memories of disappointment when their parents told them that they could not have scones and clotted cream for tea because no one knew how to make them.
Latest addition: JK Rowling. We may be Muggles but many of us are Harry Potter fanatics. And bonus points for the Patil twins!
Benedict Cumberbatch...
...deserves his own post. Sherlock Holmes is also a much loved literary character in India, and no one has quite embodied the role like Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series.
The television series is so popular here that it is aired concurrently with the US and UK.
Sherlock reruns and Sherlock marathons are also frequently aired on Indian television channels.
Cumberbatch also has as wide a female fan following in India as he does anywhere else in the world, and many Indian hearts were broken when it was announced that he had married Sophie Hunter.
Music matters
We love British music. We love it so much we gave the UK.... Freddie Mercury!
But joking aside, the Beatles, Queen, Oasis, The Who, The Rolling Stones and lately Ed Sheeran and Adele have dedicated and passionate fan followings in India.
We know all the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, Wonderwall remains a popular sing-along song, and Adele's croonings have made us all question the futility of love.
And no hipster bar is complete without an exhaustive Beatles playlist. In fact the Beatles is still very much a part of essential Indian college listening. Blame George Harrison and the Hare Krishna movement!
Curry
Any Briton who's ever had a night out will have ended up in a curry house at some point.
It's more than a meal to the Brits - it's a social tool, a mechanism for old friends, new colleagues and Sunday league footballers to bond over. When the silver bowls of silky sauces arrive, accompanied by duvet-like naan bread, it's an antidote to the UK's national dish of bland (if comforting) fish and chips.
The nation's lust for tikka masala, korma and jalfrezi is said to be worth Â£4bn to the British economy, and curry frequently appears on the list of the UK's favourite foods, even topping that list at various points in recent years.
So what if the dishes served in Britain are but an imitation of the actual ones cooked in Indian homes? And who cares if some of the restaurants are actually run by fellows from neighbouring Bangladesh? A takeaway Indian curry on a Friday night remains the perfect reward for a long, hard British week.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that any Brit heading for India will visit the Taj Mahal. None of them would dream of skipping the world's most famous monument to love.
And for the British, there is a particular poignancy, as it was here that Princess Diana was photographed alone in 1992, the brightness of the white stone shining a harsh light on her solitude. By the end of that year, she and Prince Charles had separated, and the image of the princess alone on that bench still tugs at the nation's heart strings to this day.
On a happier note, the Taj Mahal has also given its name to many of the nation's beloved curry houses.
When there's a problem to be solved in the UK, the first order of business is to pop the kettle on.
Tea is the glue that holds British society together, fixing relationships, mending friendships, a pool into which problems can be poured. The blood of the nation is dark or milky, depending on your taste.
Tell any Brit you'd like a "builder's tea" and they'll know exactly what you mean (so strong you might not get the end of your spoon back).
Commercial production of tea in India began after the British East India Company took control of large areas of the country, with the drink eventually becoming popular in Britain in the 1920s. To us, Assam and Darjeeling aren't just names, they're old friends.
Our prime minister even fell in love with the Downing Street tea lady, once. Well, all right, that was Hugh Grant in Love Actually, but everyone believed it could happen. Whose eye wouldn't be caught by someone with an endless supply of tea and chocolate biscuits?
The British just can't get enough of harking back to the days when India was part of its empire.
This isn't a time that everyone looks back on fondly of course, but that hasn't stopped dramatic tales from that era becoming and remaining popular with the British to this day, for whom India remains exotic and impossibly romantic.
Earlier this year a show called Indian Summers, about the British occupation of India set in 1932, gripped so many Brits that a second series has been commissioned.
And lately both of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies, about a group of elderly Britons living in a retirement home in India, captured many hearts across the UK. And, perhaps, changed a few minds about where to spend one's golden years.
The British East India Company's fight against malaria led to a tipple much beloved by Britons to this day.
Quinine was found to prevent the disease, but was bitter to drink so adding water, sugar, lime and gin to the quinine made the elixir more palatable. Soldiers in India were already given a gin ration, so it all made sense.
These days a gin and tonic is the crispest, cleanest drink a Briton can have, as much a refreshment on a hot summer's night as a fashion statement, to be held while propping up a cocktail bar. Cheers, India!

Question: The UK is to contribute to a sophisticated new radar system in the Arctic to study "space weather".

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence!

This phenomenon describes the effects on Earth's wider environment as it is constantly bombarded by particles and magnetic energy from the Sun.
The impacts can damage satellites and even disrupt electricity grids.
The radar, to be built across Norway, Sweden and Finland by the European Incoherent Scatter Association (EISCAT), should come online in 2021.
The international organisation already operates radar facilities in the far north, but the new technology is regarded as a big step forward in capability.
"This is the next generation," said Dr Andrew Kavanagh, a EISCAT member scientist working with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
"The system will look like a flat field of antennas, much like some of the big radio astronomy telescopes such as LOFAR and SKA. We will be able to do a lot more with this new system - looking at large parts of the sky simultaneously. A 3D view of the sky."
Britain is paying £4-6m of the £63m total cost. The participation will give the nation's researchers working in the field of solar-terrestrial physics access to the radar data when it becomes available.
The Sun perpetually billows clouds of magnetic energy and plasma (a gas of electrically charged particles) in all directions. But often great eruptions of this emission are directed straight at Earth.
When these interact with our planet's own magnetic field and atmosphere, they set off all manner of disturbances.
The Aurora Borealis is one such consequence, as particles are accelerated downwards to collide with air molecules to produce colourful curtains of light in high-latitude skies.
But there are more concerning interactions that can lead to upsets in spacecraft electronics, drop-outs in radio communications, and surges in power networks on the ground.
There is even some evidence that the magnetic disturbance from solar storms can confuse the "biological compass" whales use to navigate the oceans resulting in their stranding.
The concerns have led the UK government to put space weather on the National Risk Register.
A London Economics analysis earlier this year found that losing access to the GPS satellite-navigation service for a period of five days would cost the British economy more than £5bn.
The new radar system will be set up at Skibotn in Norway, near Kiruna in Sweden, and near Kaaresuvanto in Finland.
Skibotn will have a transmitter and receiver array, while the two other locations will have receiver arrays.
The technology will enable scientists to probe in detail the ionosphere - the region of the Earth's upper-atmosphere that ranges from about 70km to 1,000km in altitude.
It will sample the electron concentration and temperature, and the ion temperature and velocity at various heights along the radar beam direction.
Dr Kavanagh explained: "We will have digital beam-forming and steering, which means in practice that we can generate multiple beams looking in multiple directions, so that we can cover a volume of the sky rather just look at what we like to call a pencil beam."
Some of the interactions can stimulate currents that then heat the high atmosphere. This is a particular interest for some UK scientists.
The heating can alter the density of air molecules at altitudes where low-orbiting satellites move. This perturbs their trajectory ever so slightly. And by the same token, it also changes the path of redundant hardware, or "space junk", speeding up or slowing down the time it takes for this material to fall back to Earth.
Prof Duncan Wingham is chief executive of the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc), which holds the UK membership of EISCAT.
He said: "EISCAT_3D will give us a 3D picture of interactions between space weather and our upper atmosphere with a detail we've not seen before, giving us answers to questions researchers have about the impacts of space weather on the upper atmosphere.
"We need this information to reduce the risks posed by space weather on our communications systems, satellites and power grids, which we all rely on."
The British Antarctic Survey does much of its space weather research at the other end of the globe, at its polar bases Rothera and Halley.
The latter was recently evacuated because of developing cracks in the ice platform on which it sits. This meant Halley's space weather instruments had to be turned off, breaking their data contribution to the forecasting models produced by scientists.
Dr Kavanagh said BAS hoped to get this equipment back up and running soon, adding that there was a plan for the future which would allow instruments to be operated remotely should Halley have to shut down again.

They were produced by Fugro Equator, one of the ships currently making a detailed map of the ocean floor west of Australia as part of the search for wreckage from the lost Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The Dutch-owned Fugro Equator, together with the Chinese PLA-Navy ship Zhu Kezhen, which is working further to the south, are gathering bathymetric (depth) data over an area covering some 60,000 sq km.
Once this is in the hands of Australian authorities, the hunt for MH370 will go into a new phase, using a range of submersibles and other deepwater search technologies.
The maps on this page were recorded by exactEarth, one of a growing number of suppliers of ship tracking information acquired from space.
ExactEarth, a subsidiary of Canadian satellite component manufacturer ComDev, has a small constellation of sensors in orbit that can detect the Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals broadcast by ships.
All vessels over 300 gross tons (and all passenger ships irrespective of size) are mandated to carry transponders that push out data that includes not just position, course, and speed, but also information about a ship's type, draught, cargo - even its eventual destination.
AIS was established in the first instance as a safety system - something maritime agencies and ship operators themselves could use to keep tabs on who was doing what in local waters. But the curvature of the Earth means the terrestrial radio network only works within about 75km of the shore, which then requires satellite observation to follow vessels out on the open ocean.
The data has myriad applications including for optimising routing, enforcing fisheries rules, tracing pollution and tackling piracy and smuggling.
ExactEarth is just one company exploiting this new market. This week at the Farnborough International Airshow, it signed a deal to commercialise new detection technology developed within a European Space Agency telecommunications project. The technology will be installed on two satellites to be manufactured by LuxSpace of Luxembourg.
"There are many challenges with satellite AIS since the signals were never meant to be received from space," said Peter Mabson, president of exactEarth.
"The biggest one is that the satellites will receive transmissions from many, many vessels - up to thousands of vessels - simultaneously. So the big challenge is the signal processing challenge of being able to make sense of all that information. From exactEarth's point of view, we have a patented way to do that."
Tuesday's contract was signed just a day after Orbcomm, a US rival to exactEarth, put up six new AIS satellites; and a week after a Soyuz rocket lofted separate AIS platforms for the Russian/German satellite builder Dauria Aerospace and for the Norwegian space agency.
The Norwegian platform, AISSat-2, is a follow-up to the highly successful spacecraft the Scandinavian country launched in 2010. Norwegian space agency director-general Bo Andersen credits AIS information, some of it from AISSat-1, for helping to enforce a highly successful cod fishery that has not seen any recorded illegal activity so far this year.
"Norway has the biggest ocean area of any country in Europe," he explains.
"The ocean area is slightly bigger than the whole of the Mediterranean.  What's more, it is so far to the north that in summertime, 60% of all the traffic north of the Arctic Circle is in Norwegian waters, and in wintertime it is 90%.  And if you go up to the 'real Arctic', which is about 73 degrees North, we see days when all the traffic in the Arctic is in Norwegian waters."  An AISSat-3 will be launched in about a year to supplement the observations of all this traffic.
Aviation has a situational awareness system that is similar in many ways to AIS.
It is called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).  It too will provide identification and tracking information through ground radio networks and satellites.  In the case of MH370, however, the ADS-B transponder on the Malaysia Airlines jet was either switched off or failed.
