Question: Champions Birmingham Bears have signed New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum for this summer's T20 Blast.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

The 33-year-old recently led New Zealand to the World Cup final, which they lost to Australia on Sunday.
McCullum has signed a seven-game deal, which should make him available for half of the Bears' qualifying group games, as they aim to defend the trophy they won for the first time in August.
He is due to arrive at Edgbaston after New Zealand's short tour of England.
His first game is scheduled to be against Lancashire Lightning at Old Trafford on Friday, 26 June, followed by three chances for Warwickshire supporters to see McCullum in home games.
"Edgbaston is a fantastic ground to play at," said McCullum. "Hopefully, it will be rocking for the big Friday night matches. I'm really excited about becoming a Bear."
Bears director of cricket Dougie Brown said: "Brendon's dynamic performances in the World Cup have demonstrated once again exactly why he is one of the most feared batsmen in the game.
"Securing his availability for our last seven games has to make him one of the biggest overseas player signings in the competition's history.
"It was great to see bigger crowds at Edgbaston for our Friday night matches last season. Hopefully the opportunity to see one of the greatest limited-overs batsmen of the modern game will ensure we get even more fans to Edgbaston."
McCullum, who will be making his 10th move to a T20 team, will be taking up his third contract within county cricket in England and Wales.
He previously came over to play for Glamorgan in 2006 and Sussex, for whom he played limited-overs cricket only in 2010.

Question: Rail workers on the First Great Western (FGW) line are to vote on strike action amid a dispute over jobs and safety.

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

The rail union RMT said the ballot was being held over concerns relating to the introduction of new trains.
The union says it wants assurances over jobs, staffing levels and buffet facilities on the new Super Express Trains and for the maintenance contract to be kept in house.
FGW said it would be increasing the number of staff on the trains.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT has made every effort to secure a series of very basic assurances from FGW over jobs, services and safety as a result of the introduction of the new Hitachi fleet and they have simply ignored us.
"FGW... are crashing ahead with the ripping out of buffet cars and the threat to safety-critical station and train staff purely to maximise the profits from new trains bought for them by the British taxpayer."
FGW operations director Ben Rule said: "We are not removing train managers or customer hosts from these trains, and we will be serving hot and cold food and drink on more trains than we do today.
"We are being very clear from the very start. We need every train manager and customer host we have got - plus at least 100 more over the course of the franchise - for our plans to deliver the very best customer service on our long distance services.
"There will be absolutely no compulsory redundancies for those currently working on board these trains."
He added: "We've also promised no changes to pay or conditions of employment, with retraining and redeployment available for those who do no want to make the switch to the newer trains."
The ballot is due to close on 30 June.
First Great Western serves 19 counties in the south and west of England and South Wales.
It is the primary rail operator in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Bristol, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

Question: Dubbed "the General", Mered Medhanie is alleged to have led a multi-billion dollar empire which specialised in people-smuggling.

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

A 35-year-old Eritrean, he came to public attention after being linked to the worst migrant disaster at sea - the deaths of 359 migrants in October 2013 after their boat sank near the Italian island of Lampedusa.
Canada-based barrister Christine Duhaime, who specialises in money-laundering legislation, said Mr Mered was suspected to be a ringleader of the people-smuggling network which stretched across Africa and Europe.
"He is notorious just for the fact that he controlled a lot of money and a lot of people," she told the BBC's Newsday programme.
"As kingpin, the amount of money that went through him is apparently in the billions."
Italy's Corriere Della Serra newspaper reports that Mr Mered has boasted of being in league with local officials in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, while also having a network of workers in Italy.
He charged migrants up to â‚¬5,000 (Â£3,900; $5,680) to travel from African countries to northern Europe, the newspaper said.
Mr Mered is said to have once lived in Italy, where he came under the radar of anti-mafia investigators after trying to open a bank account in Dubai.
He later moved to Libya, where most African migrants start the treacherous journey across the Mediterranean, and finally to Sudan, where he was arrested in the capital, Khartoum.
"It's a good catch on the part of law enforcement. They've been following the money, and trying to track him down," said Ms Duhaime.
The speed with which he was extradited from Sudan to Italy was "remarkable", she added, something which usually happened when suspects faced money-laundering or terror-financing charges.
The UK Daily Mirror newspaper alleges his fixers also paid off Islamic State forces, which have gained a foothold in the North Africa state.
"When you are dealing with human trafficking from Libya over the Mediterranean and some parts of Africa there is obviously going to be an Isis connection," Ms Duhaime said.
Mr Mered has not commented on such allegations.
British investigators supported the Italian inquiry into the Lampedusa tragedy, and it was the UK National Crime Agency (NCA) that tracked Mr Mered down with the help of the Sudanese police.
The NCA said he like to called "the General", as he styled himself on the late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
He is said to have driven around in a tank and boasted: "Nobody is stronger than me."
But by 2015, the investigators were closing in.
Italy issued an international arrest warrant for Mr Mered, a Christian, and revealed details of phone tap evidence it had obtained on him.
They depicted a man who was kind and considerate when dealing with matters relating to his wife and children, who now live in Sweden, but ruthless and cynical in his work, Italy's La Repubblica newspaper said.
In one intercepted conversation, he is reportedly heard laughing at the overloading of migrant boats.
According to Canada's Globe and Mail, the recordings reveal he planned to invest part of his fortune in Canada and suggest his smuggling ambitions extended across the Atlantic, with one conversation offering â‚¬5,000 as the price to get to Canada using black-market passports.
According to the wiretap transcripts published in 2015, he boasted that business was good: "I've already sent off 7,000, 8,000 people.
"But this year will be better."

Bosnian authorities say they detained seven people across several cities and found a group of potential teenage victims during one of the raids.
The other suspects were arrested in France.
They are accused of forcing young Bosnian women and children to pickpocket on their behalf in France.
The victims were mistreated physically and psychologically by the alleged traffickers, according to police.
Authorities say the gang is also suspected of money laundering, forging documents and drug offences.
Police estimate the suspects made over â‚¬2m (Â£1.4m; $2.2m), which they spent on property and luxury cars.

Question: A bicycle has been confiscated at the Cyclo-cross World Championships in Belgium after it was allegedly found to contain a motor.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) said it was investigating an incident of "technological fraud" in the women's under-23 race.
The race was won by Great Britain's Evie Richards, but none of the podium finishers is under suspicion.
If confirmed it would be the first case of its kind in elite cycling.
The UCI said in a statement that the bike "has been detained for further investigation".

Police were inspecting the shop for suspected stolen goods when they spotted the bicycle's "exceptional technical characteristics".
It belonged to a rider competing in the Vuelta a Espana race around Spain.
The bicycle was returned to its owner on Sunday, the final day of the race.
The bicycle belonged to an unnamed rider for the Australian team, Orica Greenedge.
A police statement (in Spanish) said the team had not yet had time to lodge a complaint for theft.
A Malaga resident "with a long police record" had sold the bicycle to the shop, the statement said.
"We are going to offer a jersey with stripes on to the person who stole the Orica Greenedge bike,'' police said on their official Twitter account (in Spanish). "His race ends in jail."
The Vuelta arrived in Malaga on 24 August, on the third stage of the three-week race. It finishes in the capital, Madrid, on Sunday.

Question: Multi-million pound plans to redevelop Londonderry's old Waterside railway station have been boosted after the site was bought by Translink.

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

The Infrastructure Minister has also asked for an hourly train service to be introduced to Belfast by 2017.
The station was identified as the preferred site for a Â£26m transport hub after a public consultation.
It includes plans for park-and-ride facilities and improved public transport to the city centre.
Chris Hazzard has hailed the announcement as a "milestone".
"Investing in public transport is vital if we want to grow the economy, attract tourism, support local communities and reduce congestion on our roads," he said.
"The upgrade of the Coleraine to Derry railway line is substantially completed and today's announcement is another welcome boost for public transport in the area."
"This is an important milestone for this ambitious project which will consist of new train terminus accommodation, an enhanced park and ride scheme with approximately 100 spaces and additional facilities to promote sustainable and active travel options in the region."
The project, which involves Translink and Derry City and Strabane District Council, is currently at the design and planning stage.
Translink Chief Executive Chris Conway called it an exciting development.
"This major project, along with our recent progress on the Derry railway line upgrade and continued investment in new bus and coach fleet, demonstrate our ongoing commitment to transforming local public transport infrastructure," he said.
Work is due to begin at the old Waterside railway station site in about 18 months. It is hoped the project will be completed by 2020.

The broadcaster is planning to move from its current premises on Ormeau Avenue but has yet to decide on a location.
The property news service, Co-Star, said land agent Lambert Smith Hampton is now advising on the relocation.
It said the Sirocco site and a site near the new Ulster University campus have "emerged as early favourites".
Co-Star said that "market sources" have suggested that the BBC's need for studio space and parking for broadcast vehicles mean it will need a development site rather than refurbished space.
Sirocco is a 16-acre site beside the river Lagan.
The Carvill Group had planned to develop a hotel, supermarket and 2,400 apartments there before the property crash.
It ultimately ended up in the control of the Cerberus investment fund which recently sold it to an unnamed buyer.
The BBC has previously been linked with a move to Titanic Quarter or as part of the redevelopment of Great Victoria Street station.
Belfast City Council has said it would like the broadcaster to move close to Ulster University.
It has said land to the rear of Belfast Central Library, a site north of Great Patrick Street or the stalled Royal Exchange development could all be suitable.

Question: Extra social workers and new IT systems are to be introduced in a bid to improve children's social care in Birmingham.

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

Children's services in the city have consistently been rated "inadequate" by Ofsted.
Lord Warner was appointed as an independent commissioner last year to oversee attempted improvements.
On Monday the council's cabinet approved plans that will see an extra Â£94m spent over three years.
It includes Â£27.5m already announced for the 2015-16 financial year.
New IT and upgrades to existing systems are also to be introduced, including mobile devices for all social workers.
Under the plans, the number of front-line social worker posts will increase from 511 to almost 600 by March 2017.
The authority has struggled to recruit enough social workers over recent years, particularly those with substantial experience.
Councillor Brigid Jones, in charge of children's services, said the authority had previously relied on "emergency measures" to tackle staff shortages and the latest plan allowed it to approach the matter more "more strategically".
"The biggest thing we need to get right is the recruitment. It's about getting the right staff here and keeping them," she said.
Lord Warner is expected to publish his own report into the state of children's services in Birmingham next month.

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

Departments judged inadequate by Ofsted will be given six months to improve and then be taken over by high-performing councils and charities if they fail.
A handful of councils that were failing children are already run by trusts.
But the new measures will see the existing framework for takeovers speeded up and formalised.
Where departments fail to improve within six months of a poor Ofsted inspection, a new "commissioner" will be appointed and experts in child protection sent in.
In the past, where children's services have been taken over, the process has been far more "ad hoc", says the government.
It will now send experts in to three councils in a process that could see them run by independent trusts.
Sunderland children's services will become a voluntary trust and experts will be sent in to run the department, after inspectors from the care watchdog Ofsted found "serious and widespread" failings.
One child had been hurt by her father and a second had drowned in the bath, after concerns had not been properly dealt with, serious case reviews found. Sunderland said it did not "shy away from the criticisms".
Ofsted told BBC News that 19 out of 74 councils' children's services it inspected in England were found to be inadequate according to reports published between February 2014 and September 2015. None were found to be outstanding.
Struggling child protection services have been under the spotlight following a series of high-profile deaths of at-risk children such as Peter Connelly and Daniel Pelka.
And moves to take troubled services out of council hands are more a continuation of the direction of travel rather than a radical new step.
What David Cameron is really talking about is formalising and streamlining the process.
But the model the government wants to use is pretty much untested.
Eleven months after Doncaster was taken over by an independent trust, it is still deemed to be failing.
Some academics say with cuts biting at early intervention services and social services budgets, what is needed is better funding and a reduced case load, rather than a new structure.
Commissioners (new service leaders) will go into Norfolk and Sandwell children's services too, with a view to taking them over within a year. They have both been rated inadequate by Ofsted.
"We, the state, are their parents; and we are failing them," David Cameron said of society's most vulnerable.
"It is our duty to put this right," he added.
Many councils' failings have been exposed by a series of recent child abuse cases in Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby and Oxfordshire.
And children's services at Doncaster and Slough councils were taken over by independent trusts in September 2014 and October 2015 respectively.
Eleven months after the new trust took over Doncaster it was still deemed to be failing by Ofsted.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan told the BBC there would now be "much less tolerance of failure".
"Ofsted will go in and inspect more quickly, particularly if there are reports either of inadequacies in the way that the department is being run or we, obviously, receive intelligence from whistleblowers," she said.
"If necessary, they will appoint a trust, which is a not-for-profit organisation, which could be run by something like a community interest company or a charity to run the services to make sure they get back up to the level that the vulnerable children who rely on the protection of these services deserve."
High-performing councils, including Hampshire, Leeds and Durham, child protection experts and charities will be asked to form the trusts to take over the worst children's services and will have powers to get rid of staff.
Like academy schools, such councils will be given greater freedom to make changes.
More than Â£100m is to be spent attracting high-calibre graduates into social work and new trust sponsors from the charity sector will be recruited to help deliver children's services.
"This will be one of the big landmark reforms of this Parliament, as transformative as what we did in education in the last," Mr Cameron will say later, at an event in south London.
NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless welcomed the changes, saying too frequently services had failed to protect children.
"When this happens, swift action is an absolute priority to prevent tragedies that shame us all," he said.
"And we need to ensure that if tragedy does befall a child, that we then learn the lessons from serious case reviews, something that year after year is not done."
Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said:  "There must be options, where it is best for the child, to use the expertise of the voluntary sector to complement those already in place."
Association of Directors of Children's Services president Alison O'Sullivan said services in some areas were not yet good enough and it was right to draw on the expertise of the strongest authorities.
"But there is more to improvement than simply changing structures," she said.
"Parallel to this lies the need for increases in demand to be met with adequate financial resources.
"Even with the closure of many children's centres and youth services, we still face a funding shortfall and we risk losing capacity in the system to prevent problems from escalating to a point beyond repair."

Question: Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has called on the international community to take action to avoid "a blood bath" in Venezuela.

Sixty-seven people have been killed in protest-related violence in Venezuela since mass anti-government protests started on 1 April.
The Peruvian president said there was "no democracy" in Venezuela.
Mr Kuczynski also called on the Venezuelan government to allow humanitarian aid to be sent.
He was speaking at a meeting of business leaders in the Spanish capital, Madrid.
"There's no democracy in Venezuela. There was an election, but now a large part of the population doesn't feel represented," Mr Kuczynski said.
He suggested that an international commission be formed to resolve the crisis in Venezuela.
He said that while action by the international community could be seen as "an interference", it would be "to safeguard democracy".
The Peruvian leader said that if no action was taken there would be a risk of "a bloodbath, that people may flee to Colombia, that others leave by boat".
Mr Kuczynski has been one of the most vocal critics of Venezuelan President NicolÃ¡s Maduro, calling Venezuela's economic and political crisis "a big problem" for the region.
He has in the past discussed Venezuela with regional leaders, including US President Donald Trump.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy RodrÃguez reacted to those talks by calling Mr Kuczynski a "dog" which is subservient to the US.

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

Clashes between police and protestors killed at least three people. More than 300 others were reportedly arrested.
Mr Maduro said the strike was minimal and that its leaders would be arrested.
Since April, when opposition protests intensified, almost 100 people have died across the country.
Protesters barricaded roads in the capital, Caracas, and other cities with rubbish and furniture. The opposition said that 85% of the country joined the strike.
But in pro-government areas of the capital, life went on as usual, with shops open and streets busy. Public employees also appeared to have worked normally.
In several cities, police fired tear gas as they clashed with protesters. One death was reported on the outskirts of Caracas while two others died in the northern city of Valencia.
More than 360 people had been arrested across the country, a local rights group said.
Colombia, France, Spain, the US and the EU have urged the Venezuelan government to cancel the vote for a new constituent assembly on 30 July.
But Mr Maduro has rejected the calls.
In a speech on TV, he claimed "triumph", saying that key sectors had not joined the strike.
"Work has triumphed, love, life, and hope; work has triumphed. They [the Venezuelan opposition] who have never worked, let them carry on not working, we are moving forward, comrades."
"I've ordered the capture of all the fascist terrorists."
The assembly would have the power to rewrite the constitution and to bypass the opposition-controlled legislature.
Opposition politicians say Mr Maduro wants to use the assembly to entrench himself in power, while the president argues a new constitution will promote dialogue in the polarised country.
The opposition have ramped up their schedule of protests in the days leading up to the elections, including Thursday's general 24-hour strike and a mass demonstration on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Isaias Medina, a senior diplomat representing the country at the UN, resigned, saying he could no longer represent the government because of human rights abuses.
Venezuela's ambassador to the UN, Rafael Ramirez, said Mr Medina had acted "dishonestly" and been fired.
Earlier, the head of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, warned of a "calamitous deterioration" of the situation, accusing Mr Maduro's government of having "blood on its hands".
"Behind every detainee, every political prisoner, every person tortured and every person killed there is someone that is institutionally responsible," Mr Almagro wrote in a report.
"The fear that is on everyone's mind, but we are too afraid to speak out loud, is our fear that this will escalate into a bloodbath."
Mr Almagro has long been one of the fiercest and most outspoken critics of the Venezuelan government.

Question: Sky Atlantic is to show a controversial documentary on Scientology, despite pressure from the church.

Alex Gibney's Going Clear traces the origins of the organisation and profiles former members, including Oscar-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis.
It has alleged abusive practices at Scientology's US headquarters, which members have denounced as "one-sided, bigoted propaganda".
The film premiered to wide acclaim in the US in March.
It became one of the most talked about films at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and was watched by 5.5 million viewers on HBO. It also garnered seven Emmy nominations.
Film critic Mark Kermode, writing in the Observer, described the documentary as "chilling, damning stuff," while Geoffrey Macnab called it "fascinating" in The Independent.
The Church of Scientology has previously threatened to use the UK's libel laws to challenge "any false or defamatory content" if it is broadcast in the UK.
Although an initial screening, in April, was postponed, Sky has now confirmed it will be shown on 21 September.
"Both Sky, and the producers of the film, have sought legal advice at every stage of the process and are confident the film complies with legal requirements in the territories in which we are screening the film," a spokesman for Sky told The Guardian.
Going Clear was a joint production between Sky Atlantic and US broadcaster HBO.
Zai Bennett, Director of Sky Atlantic, said: "I'm hugely proud that Sky Atlantic has co-produced Going Clear, especially in light of its recent success gaining seven Emmy nominations. I'm sure that Sky audiences will be captivated by Alex Gibney's remarkable film."

Question: The Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, has said a flag incident that halted a Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania was a "political provocation".

The match in Belgrade was stopped after 41 minutes when a drone carrying an Albanian flag sparked a brawl.
Uefa is opening disciplinary cases against both Serbia and Albania, AP news agency reports.
A brother of Albanian PM Edi Rama denied being detained in Serbia on suspicion of controlling the drone.
Olsi Rama told Albanian TV channel SuperSport that reports of his arrest were untrue after Serbian state TV announced he had been held on suspicion that "he masterminded and executed the incident".
He flew back to Albania after the match in the Serbian capital, which he had reportedly attended as a VIP.
Ordinary Albanian fans had been banned from attending the game between the two Balkan nations, which have a long and bitter history of rivalry.
Edi Rama is due to go to Serbia next week, the first visit by an Albanian leader to Serbia in nearly 70 years.
Play was stopped towards the end of the first half of Tuesday night's match in the Partizan Stadium when a drone appeared above the pitch, trailing a banner marked with an Albanian flag and a map of "greater Albania" showing nationalist claims on neighbouring states, including Serbia.
Serbia defender Stefan Mitrovic pulled down the flag, which several Albania players then attempted to take.
A melee involving numerous players ensued. English referee Martin Atkinson led the teams off the field after some fans invaded  the pitch and clashed with members of the Albanian team.
Following a delay of about 30 minutes, the match was abandoned.
Serbia captain Branislav Ivanovic said the Albanian team was not "in a physical or psychological state to continue".
The Serbian foreign minister asked how the international community would have reacted had Serbia fans staged a similar stunt in Albania or Kosovo, the breakaway region of Serbia where the ethnic Albanian majority declared independence six years ago.
"If someone from Serbia had unveiled a flag of Greater Serbia in Tirana [capital of Albania] or Pristina [capital of Kosovo] it would already be on the agenda of the UN Security Council," he told Serbian newspaper Blic.
The Serbians and Albanians have until next Wednesday to respond to Uefa, Uefa spokesman Pedro Pinto told AP.
Uefa President Michel Platini said he was "deeply saddened" by what had happened, adding: "Football is supposed to bring people together and our game should not be mixed with politics of any kind. The scenes in Belgrade last night were inexcusable."
Fifa chief Sepp Blatter said: "Football should never be used for political messages. I strongly condemn what happened in Belgrade last night."
The prime minister's brother issued his denial after reports that he had been detained for 40 minutes before being put in a vehicle and taken to the airport.
Serbian media say he showed police a US passport after he was detained.
The Albania team returned home to a heroes' welcome in Tirana on Wednesday, AP news agency reports.
Up to 3,000 flag-waving supporters gathered outside the city's airport.
Prime Minister Rama praised the players on his Twitter page for "the pride and joy they gave".
His visit to Serbia next Wednesday became possible after the normalisation of relations last year in an agreement brokered by the EU, which both Albania and Serbia have applied to join.

Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Dmitri Tarasov's vest showed Mr Putin in a navy cap along with the words "the most polite president".
The politically-charged Europa League match was the biggest sporting encounter between the nations since Turkey shot down a Russian jet in November.
Turkish side Fenerbahce won 2-0.
Lokomotiv Moscow are now likely to face punishment because European football's governing body Uefa does not allow political statements during matches.
Putin pours fresh scorn on Turkey
Was downing jet an overreaction?
But Tarasov later defended his behaviour.
"It's my president. I respect him and decided to show that I'm always with him and prepared to give my support," he told Russian news agency R-Sport.
"What was written on that shirt was everything that I wanted to say," he added.
Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak described the gesture as "a Putin provocation".
Relations have been tense since Turkey downed a Russian fighter that it said was in its airspace.
The incident sparked a continuing war of words between Mr Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the conflict in Syria.
Before the match in Istanbul, bottles were thrown at the Lokomotiv team bus as it made its way to the stadium. Turkish police said they made three arrests.
However, Uefa rejected calls to separate Russian and Turkish clubs in European competitions and will also not separate the two nations in the draw for this summer's European Championship.


Question: Manager Kenny Shiels credits Kilmarnock's League Cup victory to psychology as much as endeavour.

"You have to believe to achieve and we worked hard on getting the boys to believe," he told BBC Scotland after the 1-0 win over Celtic at Hampden.
"Celtic are a young team and there is always that strain on them to succeed, so we talked up their Treble chances.
"I knew it would be difficult for them if we kept the ball because Celtic were the team under pressure."
Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cammy Bell several fine saves and substitute Dieter Van Tornhout, celebrating his birthday, won it for the underdogs with a header on 84 minutes.
"Celtic are a fantastic team and they will go on to to be very successful," added Shiels.
"But they were gone in the last 10 minutes."
We are thinking more about Liam (Kelly) than our triumphalism
Despite Killie lifting the trophy for the first time, Shiels later revealed that the dressing room was "despondent" on hearing the news of midfielder Liam Kelly's father being taken to hospital after collapsing at the end of the game.
For several minutes after the final whistle paramedics treated Kelly senior right beside the Kilmarnock dugout.
Kelly did not join in the celebrations and went up the tunnel.
A sombre Shiels explained: "I am all over the place, I really am.
"It happened right beside this dugout and I am only doing this press conference out of respect to you (the media) so I hope you appreciate that.
"I don't know the medical term, but it is a heart attack, probably. He is away to hospital and the family has gone with him.
"I have gone from so high an emotion to so low an emotion.
"We are not sure of the outcome but he is very seriously ill and that's a tough emotion after going up to one of the best moments of our lives.
"The dressing room is very despondent and I don't know why the man above sends down these messages to us.

There was a fright for Kilmarnock in stoppage time when Anthony Stokes went down in the penalty area under a challenge from Michael Nelson.
However, referee Willie Collum chose to book the Celtic striker for simulation, much to the annoyance of Celtic manager Neil Lennon.
Bell was given the man-of-the-match award, having denied Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes with excellent first-half saves as well as making other important interventions.
"It's amazing, I feel very emotional at the moment, brilliant, fantastic," Bell told BBC Scotland immediately after the game.
"It just shows how much commitment the boys had, we did it for the manager.
"Everybody dreams, but we are realistic. I think the boys were fantastic.
"I think we deserved to win, I had a few saves to make, but you are going to have to against Celtic."

Rob Maclean continues his series assessing the main talking points from the weekend's Scottish football action.
Hamilton manager Martin Canning certainly had a stick with which to be beatin' Beaton after dodgy decisions gave Rangers a helping hand into the last four of the Scottish Cup.
So the Accies gaffer deserves massive credit for resisting the temptation - others would have jumped at the chance - to lay all the blame on poor refereeing.
Martin said his Hamilton defence had performed as badly as the ref and his assistants and he was right.
But that doesn't disguise a dismal day for the match officials.
Joe Garner shouldn't have been on the pitch to complete his first Rangers hat-trick but he can certainly use that big stroke of luck to set about proving his worth.
Few would argue that a wild swing of his boot in the direction of Hamilton's Dougie Imrie deserved a red card rather than the yellow shown to him.

Just as few would contest the view that former Preston striker Garner has provided little return on the £1.8m Rangers paid for him.
But a Scottish Cup treble won't do him any harm, even if at least one of his goals came gift-wrapped. And there were signs on Saturday of the prolific goal poacher Rangers reckoned they'd signed.
It was the great escape for Garner and he'll hope he can kick on from it.
Let's be having Graeme Shinnie in the Scotland squad.
The Aberdeen captain scored the only goal of Sunday's BBC Scotland live match against Partick Thistle at Pittodrie to lead his team into the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
It was only his second strike of the season and obviously it's not his scoring prowess that should have Shinnie's name jotted down in Gordon Strachan's notebook.
It's his adaptability and dependability which make him a manager's dream, added to his high energy levels and low error count.
Shinnie could play alongside Scott Brown in central midfield or fill the problem right back berth.
It's not his best position but he's played there before and wouldn't let Scotland down.
Championship strugglers St Mirren have a double boost to take with them into Wednesday's relegation crunch match against Raith Rovers in Kirkcaldy.
They were a goal up at Celtic Park on Sunday against the runaway Premiership leaders for the best part of an hour.
And Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, relieved after his team came back to win 4-1, said Saints were the best domestic side he's faced this season.
Jack Ross and his squad would happily swap that compliment for three points at Stark's Park to improve their chances of survival.
But giving Celtic a scare, on the back of beating Hibs, doesn't do the Paisley team's hopes any harm.
Ayr United, like St Mirren, have to get back to the business of battling for their Championship place after their Scottish Cup run ended in the quarter finals.
And they'll look back on their 3-1 defeat at Easter Road and wonder if they could have pulled off a shock against Hibs had they kept all 11 players on the pitch.
Two goals down in 12 minutes, Ian McCall's team were revitalised by one of the best strikes you'll see from 19-year-old Craig McGuffie.
That lifted their hopes of turning around a 2-1 deficit but a red card on the stroke of half-time for on-loan Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna's crazy challenge on John McGinn put Hibs back in control.
As shame-faced McKenna disappeared down the tunnel, Ayr's Cup dream went with him.

Question: A section of the East Yorkshire coastline is beginning to collapse after a large crack appeared in the cliffs at Mappleton beach.

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

A cordon has been put in place around the 50m crack, which was spotted on Wednesday, and people have been warned to avoid the cliff top.
Geologists described it as a "landslip in action" and said the cliff was "continuously slipping".
The council said "about 2,000 cubic metres" were in the process of falling.
Coastguard rescue officer and geologist Daniel Escreet said: "It's a huge danger. It's continuously slipping, it's a landslip in action.
"It'll be moving very slowly at the moment. But it could move very quickly at any time."
Michael Ball, the council's principal engineer, said: "It's the fastest eroding coastline in Europe.
"We've seen a large crack develop and the cliff is unstable.
"We've taken measures to make the area safe. We've put up fencing today. It's very likely it's going to give away soon... the next few tides could bring it down.
"People have to be aware that it's a dangerous situation to be standing too close to the cliff edge and getting too close to the base of the cliff, because material can fall down at anytime."

The woman were photographed by local artist Patrick Goff while they sat on Seven Sisters near Seaford.
The Newhaven lifeboat team told the BBC the actions of the women were "really stupid", and the situation was an accident waiting to happen.
That stretch of coast has seen regular cliff falls as the chalk erodes.
Last autumn, walkers were warned to keep away from the cliffs at nearby Seaford Head after a crack appeared, and in the same year, sections of cliffs fell into the sea at Birling Gap and at Rock-a-Nore near Hastings.

Lord Heseltine has torn into Boris Johnson, saying his behaviour and comments in the EU referendum campaign show he is "losing his judgement", "feeling the strain of the campaign" and sinking his own chances of ever becoming Conservative leader.
He told me: "I think that every time he makes one of these extraordinary utterances, people in the Conservative Party will question whether he now has the judgement for that position."
As Boris Johnson might say: "Cripes!" But that doesn't quite begin to cover it. This criticism will sting because even though Boris Johnson insists it is not the case, many of his Tory colleagues believe his calculation to join the Out campaign was entirely because he wants to be the next leader of his party.
For Lord Heseltine, who of course had similar ambitions but was thwarted in the end, to suggest his decision and subsequent behaviour will in fact kill his chances will really hurt.
The decision before all of us is far bigger than any individual Conservative politician's career.
But the level of bitterness inside the Tory party is hard to ignore. There are only five weeks until we'll all make our choice.
For the country and the Tory party the real disruption might only begin on 24 June.

Question: A woman who set up a fundraising page for a man who was mugged outside his home has met the victim as donations approached £300,000.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Alan Barnes, who is visually impaired, was left too afraid to return to his home in Low Fell, Gateshead, after the attack on 25 January.
Mr Barnes, 67, broke his collarbone when he was pushed to the ground.
Following reports of the attack, Katie Cutler set up the Help Alan Barnes online donation page on Go Fund Me.
During the meeting at Mr Barnes's sister's house, Ms Cutler presented him with chocolates and a card, and he told her she would be a friend for life.
When she set up the page, Ms Cutler's aim was to raise £500 but that was quickly passed and by noon on Saturday it had reached £100,000.
The total passed £279,000 shortly after 08:00 GMT on Monday, by which time more than 20,000 donations had been made.
The donations have come in from the UK, Canada, Holland and many other places around the world, with many praising Ms Cutler for setting up the page.
Ms Cutler, a beautician, said it showed "there are so many lovely people out there".
"This person that hurt Alan is just a minority."
Mr Barnes, who has lived with disabilities from birth after his mother contracted German measles when she was pregnant, said it was "just unbelievable".
"I've heard of fundraising for charities but I've only got a fractured collarbone, I didn't expect that sort of response," he said.
"Thank you doesn't really seem to answer it, does it?"
Stephen, who donated £5, said: "So sorry this has happened to you dear friend, I know it's not a lot, but hope it goes a long way."
Rupert wrote: "There are bad people in this world, people that wouldn't think twice of abusing a vulnerable man.
"But as this shows, those people are engulfed by good, caring and loving people that stand against these morals."
There have also been offers of practical help from plumbers, electricians, bathroom and kitchen fitters, carpet layers and people donating furniture, Ms Cutler said.
She also wrote on the fundraising site that businesses and schools had told her they were holding fundraising events for Mr Barnes.
Mr Barnes's family said that the money would go into a trust fund for him.

Question: A multimillion-pound velodrome has opened its doors to the public three months later than originally planned.

Work on the 5,000-seat Derby Arena - one of only five such venues in the UK - began in April 2013.
It boasts a 250m cycle track, 12-court sports hall, a gym, group exercise space and a cafe.
The arena was due to open in December but Derby City Council put the delays on the "complex project" down to "getting things right".
The city council said it was still in negotiations with potential sponsors over a new name for the velodrome.
Councillor Alison Martin said the talks were "progressing quite well" but no details were available yet.
As well as cycling, the £31m venue will host sports including basketball and double as a concert venue.
It was opened by Dame Sarah Storey, Britain's most decorated female paralympian, and Derby MP Margaret Beckett, on Thursday night.
Team Sky Boss Sir Dave Brailsford, who lives in Derbyshire, called it a "superb facility".
"What's exciting about a velodrome and a multi-use arena like Derby is it attracts all ages and all sizes of people.
"It's open to everyone," he said.
He said with other velodromes in London, Newport, Manchester and Glasgow, Derby's was "ideally placed" for people all over the country to enjoy.
The venue opens to the public from 11:00 GMT.
Dame Storey, who has been training on the track in recent weeks, said: "It's absolutely amazing.
"I love riding here, I look forward to riding here again in the future and I look forward to seeing everybody else enjoying their racing."
Councillor Alison Martin said: "It will bring so many benefits to Derby and to the region."

Question: The four Arab countries boycotting Qatar have issued a strong statement saying the emirate must respond to the 13 demands it has made.

The bloc suggested it would then be "ready for dialogue".
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cut ties with their Gulf neighbour on 5 June, saying it supports terrorism.
Qatar strongly denies the allegation and has rejected a list of conditions for the lifting of sanctions.
They include the closure of news broadcaster Al Jazeera and reducing ties with Iran.
The group accuses the Qatari-funded channel of fostering extremism, a charge the network denies.
The foreign ministers of the Saudi-led bloc met in Bahrain's capital Manama on Sunday to discuss the blockade.
"The four countries are ready for dialogue with Qatar with the condition that it announces its sincere willingness to stop funding terrorism and extremism and its commitment to not interfere in other countries' foreign affairs and respond to the 13 demands," Bahrain's Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa told a news conference after the meeting.
Saudi Arabia has closed its land border with Qatar, while all four countries have cut air and sea links with Doha.
Qatar's lawyers have called the tactics "reminiscent of the extreme and punitive conduct of 'bully' states that have historically resulted in war".
Diplomatic efforts led by Kuwait and backed by Western powers have so far failed to end the dispute.
Earlier in July it appeared the 13-point list might be abandoned, when diplomats told reporters at the UN they now wanted Qatar to accept six broad principles.
These included commitments to combat terrorism and extremism, and to end acts of provocation and incitement.
But on Sunday, it was clear the list was still on the table.
The bloc also accused Qatar of complicating the hajj - the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca - for its citizens.
Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, but Qataris cannot fly there directly from Doha under the sanctions.
Last week, the four nations added 18 more groups and individuals they say are linked to Qatar to their "terrorist" lists.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt said the deal brokered by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday was "not enough".
Qatar's government "cannot be trusted", they added, citing previous agreements.
The four have accused the emirate of supporting terrorist groups across the region. It has denied any wrongdoing.
Qatar was presented with a list of demands two weeks ago that included shutting down the Al Jazeera news network, closing a Turkish military base, cutting ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and downgrading relations with Iran.
But after receiving what they called a "negative" response last week, the four states said they would take further "political, economic and legal measures".
Mr Tillerson flew to Doha on Tuesday to sign a memo of understanding between the US and Qatar on terrorism financing that was proposed when President Donald Trump attended the Arab Islamic American Summit in the Saudi capital in May.
"The agreement which we both have signed on behalf of our governments represents weeks of intensive discussions between experts and reinvigorates the spirit of the Riyadh summit," Mr Tillerson told a joint news conference with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani.
"The memorandum lays out a series of steps that each country will take in coming months and years to interrupt and disable terror financing flows and intensify counter-terrorism activities globally," he added.
Sheikh Mohammed said Qatar was the first country in the region to sign such an agreement with the US and called on the "siege" nations to follow suit.
Qatar has acknowledged providing assistance to Islamist groups designated as terrorist organisations by some of its neighbours, notably the Muslim Brotherhood and the Hamas movement. But it has denied aiding militant groups linked to al-Qaeda or so-called Islamic State.
Later on Tuesday, the Saudi-led bloc issued a joint statement saying that while it appreciated US efforts to combat terrorism, more needed to be done.
"It must be stressed that this step is not enough and the four countries will closely watch how serious the Qatari authorities are in their fight against all forms of funding, supporting and embracing terrorism," the statement said.
The Qatari authorities needed to do show their "seriousness in getting back to the natural and right path" and "comprehensively implement the just demands" of its neighbours, it added.
Mr Tillerson, who has said the demands must be "reasonable and actionable" and called for "constructive dialogue", held talks on Wednesday with the foreign ministers of the four states in the Saudi port city of Jeddah.

Question: Conor Hourihane scored a stunning late volley from 30 yards as Barnsley inflicted a fourth successive defeat on Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

The winner on 88 minutes came after Forest's Nicklas Bendtner had an effort ruled out for offside, with Jack Hobbs also heading off the bar for the hosts.
Barnsley dominated the first half with Adam Hammill and Josh Scowen testing Forest goalkeeper Stephen Henderson.
And Hourihane eventually denied Forest a first clean sheet in 18 home games.
Barnsley's victory was their fifth in seven games since a 5-2 home defeat by Forest in November and lifted Paul Heckingbottom's side up to eighth in the Championship.
Defeat for Forest - a side that has started the year under transfer embargo, are close to a takeover and spent the first day of 2017 warding off an approach from near neighbours Derby for captain Henri Lansbury - left them with just one point from a possible 18 since beating Newcastle on 2 December.
After 25 games, Philippe Montanier's side are just two points and two places above the relegation places.
Barnsley were bright in a largely scrappy opening half at the City Ground, as Hammill tested Henderson with a free-kick and Scowen sent a close-range effort well over from the resulting corner.
Scowen was also denied by Henderson and defender Thomas Lam in a double chance before the break, and while Forest improved after the restart they failed to register a shot on target.
Nottingham Forest manager Philippe Montanier:
"We are in a precarious position. When you do not win in six games, you are going to move down towards the bottom.
"What is important for us is to continue; the team must have a good mentality. That is important in football.
"I do not worry about my own future. The most important thing is not my future, it is the team and how we work to win the next game. We must focus on that.
"I have not spoken to the new owners yet but I hope the situation will soon become clear."
Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom:
"I think the game was drifting away and heading to a stalemate in the final 10 minutes, we would have taken a point.
"But then it was some goal to win us the game - and that is what we have got in the team.
"We always have to believe we can keep pushing for the win and that is what we do all the time. We focus on how we play, we stick to our game plan and if the breaks come for us from that, then great.
"I was really pleased with the performance, we made changes to bring some energy into the side. We knew we would create chances and I thought we were unlucky not to be in front at half time. We wanted more of the same in the second half, but we also knew that we had firepower available coming off the bench if we needed it."

Question: A Russian jet fighter that intercepted a US Air Force reconnaissance plane on Friday did so in an "unsafe and unprofessional manner" over the Baltic Sea, the Pentagon has said.

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

It says the fighter performed a barrel roll plane over the American plane.
It is the second incident in the Baltic this month in which the US has accused Russian planes of flying aggressively.
Two Russian planes flew close to a US guided missile destroyer almost a dozen times in the Baltic on 13 April.
"There have been repeated incidents over the last year where Russian military aircraft have come close enough to other air and sea traffic to raise serious safety concerns, and we are very concerned with any such behaviour," Pentagon spokesman Daniel Hernandez said on Friday.
"The US aircraft was operating in international airspace and at no time crossed into Russian territory.  This unsafe and unprofessional air intercept has the potential to cause serious harm and injury to all air crews involved.
"More importantly, the unsafe and unprofessional actions of a single pilot have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions between countries."
Mr Hernandez said the Su-27's "erratic and aggressive manoeuvres" also threatened the safety of the US aircrew, coming within 7.6m (25ft) of the fuselage of the American plane before conducting its barrel roll.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday defended the flybys of warplanes over the US Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea, insisting they were only looking at the ship "from a safe distance".
Military encounters between Russia and the US and its allies have escalated significantly over the past two years, ever since Russia's annexation of Crimea and the breakdown of relations between East and West.
The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue in Washington reported after the destroyer incident that Russia's actions were regarded by defence analysts as a flexing of muscle - a reminder that Russia has military might and cannot be pushed around.
But our correspondent says the frequency of such situations means many fear that a full-on confrontation - be it deliberate or accidental - is just a matter of time between the world's two great military powers.

A Russian defence ministry statement said the Turkish vessel approached to 600m (1,800ft) before turning away in response to Russian small arms fire.
The Turkish military attache in Moscow has been summoned to the foreign ministry over the incident.
Relations remain tense over Turkey's shooting down of a Russian bomber.
The Russian SU-24 bomber was shot down by two Turkish F-16s in the Turkish border-Syria area on 24 November. Turkey maintained the plane crossed into its airspace, although Russia disputes this.
And last week, Turkey complained over what it said was a sailor on a Russian naval ship brandishing a missile launcher as the vessel passed through Istanbul. Russia rejected the criticism saying the crew had a "legal right" to protect the ship.
24 November - A Turkish F-16 fighter jet shoots down a Russian Su-24 attack aircraft, allegedly because it violated Turkish airspace. Russia denies the claim and insists the aircraft had been in Syrian airspace. A Russian pilot is killed parachuting from the jet, and a Russian marine is killed in a subsequent rescue mission.
28 November - With Turkey refusing to apologise over the incident, Russia announces a package of economic sanctions against Turkey, including restrictions on imports and travel
6 December - Turkey condemns Russian "provocation" after Turkish media publish showing a Russian serviceman holding a rocket launcher aboard a warship passing through the Bosphorus.
13 December - Russia fires "warning shots" at a Turkish fishing vessel that it says was approaching its warship in the Aegean Sea.

In the latest incident, Russia's defence ministry said its frigate Smetlivy was anchored just off the Greek island of Lemnos on Sunday morning when it spotted the Turkish fishing boat heading towards it some 1,000m (3,000ft) away.
"Despite numerous attempts by the crew of the Smetlivy, the crew of the Turkish fishing boat did not make radio contact and did not respond to visual signals by semaphore or warning flares," the ministry said in a statement.
To prevent a collision, "small arms were fired in the direction of the Turkish vessel from a range that is not lethal".
The ministry said that "immediately after that the Turkish vessel drastically changed course" and passed within half a kilometre of the Smetlivy, still making no contact with the Russian crew.
Russia's deputy defence minister has summoned a Turkish military attache, the statement said. Turkey has not yet given its response to the incident.
Russian military vessels are involved in Russia's intervention against rebels in Syria.
President Vladimir Putin described as a "stab in the back" Turkey's downing of the Russian bomber and has imposed economic sanctions.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned on Friday that Ankara's patience with Russia was "not unlimited", and accused Moscow of using "every opportunity" to punish Turkey for the downing of the plane.

Paul Wickerson, 32, was taken from the Brownstock festival in Essex before he died in a road accident in August 2013.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard he was taken four miles (6km) from the festival by the guards to see if he could make his way back.
Gregory Maxwell, 32, of Romford, and Brian Atkins, 49, of Ilford, deny false imprisonment and kidnap.
The trial jury heard how Mr Wickerson, from Sydney, Australia, had been at the festival in Stow Maries when he was handcuffed, bundled into a Land Rover by Mr Maxwell and Mr Atkins, and driven to a remote spot.
Andrew Jackson, prosecuting, said Mr Wickerson, who had taken cocaine, ketamine and LSD, was then released to see if he could make it back to the festival.
Mr Jackson said one of the guards was overheard describing it as "four-mile bush tucker trial" - a term used to describe challenges in the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out for Here".
He said Mr Wickerson was seen wandering in a circle "clearly the worse for drugs" in a field behind the main stage, wearing just a shirt and shorts.
"One of the defendants took him to the ground, and together they handcuffed his wrists behind his back and his ankles were handcuffed as well," said Mr Jackson.
"It was done for sport; to see if he could make his own way back. Because of the drugs, he was completely disorientated on a road with a 60mph speed limit.
"Fifteen minutes afterwards he was killed by a car: a tragic, needless accident."
The trial continues.

It was the year a UKIP councillor blamed the floods on gay marriage, a man had his penis cut off in an attack in Middlesbrough, and a bomb hoax resulted in an RAF jet escorting a passenger plane to Manchester Airport.
The death of cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton, torrential summer flash flooding, and the teacher who was stabbed to death at her school in Leeds also made the headlines.
UKIP councillor blames storms and floods on gay marriage
UKIP councillor David Silvester blamed last winter's storms and heavy floods on the government's decision to legalise gay marriage.
In a letter to his local paper David Silvester said he had warned David Cameron the legislation would result in "disaster".
At the time of the comments UKIP said his views were "not the party's belief" but defended his right to state his opinions.
An inquiry by South Oxfordshire District Council found the comments had not breached its code of conduct.
William Roache cleared of rape and assault
Following a trial, Coronation Street actor William Roache was cleared of rape and indecent assault charges.
Five women had claimed he assaulted them when they were aged 16 or under between 1965 and 1971.

Cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton dies
After raising millions of pounds for charity, the inspirational teenager lost his battle with cancer aged just 19.
He was diagnosed when he was 15 and rather than dwell on his misfortune, drew up a "bucket list" of things he wanted to achieve.
Stephen, from Burntwood in Staffordshire, raised more than Â£5m for charity after news of his plight spread on social media and following his death.
In November, his mother collected an MBE on her son's behalf.

Question: The language from Berlin is gentle - for now.

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

Angela Merkel's spokesman said on Monday that, if Britain needed a reasonable amount of time to trigger Article 50, then the German government respected that. An impasse must, said Steffen Seibert, be avoided.
But Chancellor Merkel has also ruled out any negotiations, informal or otherwise, with London until Downing Street triggers the article and officially starts the exit procedure.
And, while Mrs Merkel has said that there's no need to "be nasty" to Britain, all the indications are from senior political voices in Berlin that Germany is preparing to talk tough.
MPs of almost every political hue have made it clear that the UK is in for a rough ride when it comes to negotiating its exit from the EU.
Volker Kauder, a close ally of Mrs Merkel, said on Monday there would be no special treatment for the UK.
Others have used harsher language. There must be "consequences for Britain", said one MP in order to discourage other EU member states from heading for the exit door.
By special treatment, read access to the single market.
Senior economists and business leaders, including German car makers' association (VDA) president Matthias Wissmann, have warned against future barriers to free trade. Britain is still an important commercial partner for Germany.
But, as Mrs Merkel rather pointedly said on Saturday, if the British people don't want to be in the European Union or the single market, then we have to respect that.
In an article for UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph, Conservative Leave campaigner Boris Johnson wrote that the German business association (BDI) had "very sensibly reminded us there will continue to be free trade and access to the single market".
The BDI was on Monday, to put it mildly, rather surprised by the claim. It was untrue - the BDI had never and would never say such a thing, it told the BBC.
Later, in a carefully worded statement, it said it "deeply regrets the result of the referendum; it weakens the UK, the EU and Germany politically and economically. The politicians responsible need to do everything to minimise this negative effect."
Economists and business leaders are still trying to analyse the impact of Brexit.
There are those who view it as an opportunity - that, for example, the City of London's potential loss might be Frankfurt's gain.
But the head of the Berlin stock exchange disagrees. Artur Fischer says: "London has an ecosystem. It's grown for many years, it's been cultivated. It's naive to think it can be replaced by somewhere else."
He, like the majority here, believes the British decision is bad news for the UK and for Europe. "When we built the EU we created a common marketplace. That can only happen with a level playing field," he said.
Mrs Merkel was due to hold talks later with European Council President Donald Tusk, and then meet the leaders of France and Italy.
The chancellor is reported to have told the board of her CDU party that it is important to prevent other countries following Britain and that international financial markets are very concerned that the EU is no longer governable.
Mrs Merkel is said to believe it's not the right time to push for deeper integration of eurozone member states. On this she's in apparent disagreement with the French. But expect, for now at least, a display of unity.
As one German broadcaster put it on Monday: "Europe is at a crossroads."
Nevertheless the consensus here, politically and publically, is that Brexit is bad for Europe and bad for Germany. But it will hurt Britain most of all.

Despite that, Mr Cantor is convinced it will make it through Congress.

Question: The number of Americans who identify as Christian has fallen nearly eight percentage points in only seven years, according to a new survey.

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

Pew Research Center found that 71% of Americans identified as Christian in 2014 - down from 78% in 2007.
In the same period, Americans identifying as having no religion grew from 16% to 23%.
Fifty-six million Americans do not observe any religion, the second largest community after Evangelicals.
The United States still remains home to more Christians than any other nation, with roughly seven-in-ten continuing to identify with some branch of Christianity.
In 2007 and then again in 2014, Pew conducted the "Religious Landscape Study", interviewing 35,000 people each time.
Pew researchers say the losses they discovered were driven mainly by a decrease among liberal Protestants and Catholics and occurred in all regions of the US and among all ages and demographics.
About 5 million less Americans now identify as Christian compared to when the study was conducted in 2007.
In the South, those not-affiliated with religion - or as the researchers call them, "nones" - rose to 19% of the population, while in the Northeast they climbed to 25%.
In the West "nones" are a larger group than any religion, making up 28% of the public.
Greg Smith, Pew's associate research director, said the findings "point to substantive changes" among the religiously unaffiliated, not just a shift in how people describe themselves.
Non-religious Americans have become increasingly organised since 2007, forming political groups designed to keep religion out of public life.
Kelly Damerow with the Secular Coalition for America tells BBC News that the Pew findings "lend credence to the growth we've witnessed within our community and that we have the potential to hold a lot of political clout".
Americans who identify as Christian: 70.6%
Protestant faiths: 46.5%
Evangelical: 25.4%
Catholic: 20.8%
Mainline or liberal: 14.7%
Mormon: 1.6%
Jehovah's Witness: 0.8%
Identify as Other Christians: 0.4%

The Pew Research Center, which looks at social issues, found that belief in capital punishment was at its lowest for over four decades.
Only about half of Americans (49%) now favour execution for inmates convicted of murder, while 42% oppose it.
Support has dropped by 7% since March 2015, from 56%.
There has been a sizeable slump in public approval for state executions, which peaked during the mid-1990s.
In 1994, eight out of 10 Americans backed the death penalty, and under two in 10 were opposed to it.
Support for death penalty below 50% in UK
Do murder 'masterminds' deserve death?
Statistics behind US violence
According to the Pew's findings, opposition to the death penalty is at its highest since 1972.
Previous Gallup polls have shown that support fell as low as 42% in 1966, but then rose gradually to hit 80% in 1994.
Since then, it has been gradually declining across almost all demographics.
Pew found that people who identified as Republican were more likely to agree with capital punishment for convicted murderers (72%), while 34% of Democrats shared that view.
Men were more likely to say they favoured the death penalty, at 55%, while 38% oppose it - but for women the number for and against was almost equal - 43% for, and 45% against.
A 57% majority of white people favour the death penalty for murderers (down from 63% last year).
But Black and Hispanic people support it at much lower rates, at 29% and 36% respectively.
Being younger and spending longer in formal education also made respondents less likely to support execution.
Among those aged 18 to 29, the level was 42% in favour, compared to 51% of those 30 and older.
Among Americans with at least a college degree, 43% backed the death penalty, while that rose to 51% for those without a degree.
The researchers surveyed 1,201 adults between 23 August and 23 September, 2016.
The prevailing trend mimics the shift seen across the Atlantic.
In Britain, support for the death penalty dropped below 50% for the first time in 2015, according to the NatCen British Social Attitudes Report.
The survey found 48% were in favour of capital punishment, which was abolished in the UK in the 1960s.
