The operation, involving the Department of the Environment, the coastguard and the National Trust, began just after 16:00 BST on Monday.
The initial suggestion was that it was a Sei whale which had died of old age, but the DoE later said tests had confirmed it was a juvenile fin whale.
Next to the blue whale, the fin whale is the world's second largest mammal.
Joe Breen of the DoE said the past summer had been "extraordinary" for sightings of both whales and dolphins off the north coast.
"We followed about 70 or 80 dolphins up and down the coast this summer," he said.
"We had reports of humpbacked whales off Rathlin and there was an unusual sighting of a Beluga whale off Dunseverick. We know things are happening within the sea."
Contractors for the National Trust worked to remove the whale from Portstewart strand.
They were helped by contractors who had been working on the nearby A26, when it became clear that they would need a much larger digger to lift the whale.
In the end, three diggers worked together to haul the whale off the beach.
"I have never seen a sight like it, three diggers in harmony pulled it up on to the trailer. It was incredible to watch," Mr Breen said. | Britain's four-time Olympic champion Laura Kenny will miss this month's National Track Championships after injuring a hamstring.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | But they have more in common than you might think: Donald Trump wants to build a wall at both.
Whereas the Mexican border barrier would stop people getting into the US, the County Clare sea fortification would protect Mr Trump's award-winning golf resort from the sea.
While the presidential hopeful doesn't believe in man-made climate change, the sea is swallowing up an estimated metre of the dunes every year.
The golf resort employs some 250 people in the high season and has 75 properties on the complex, as well as three bars and three restaurants.
The Trump organisation has applied to Clare County Council to place tonnes of limestone boulders - some almost four metres tall - along the three-kilometre strand.
Joe Russell, the resort's general manager, said the proposal was a carefully-considered engineering solution that fits in with the natural landscape.
"Back in the 1940s, people in the local authority from west Clare actually took rock off the beach to build roads," Mr Russell told the BBC.
"What we're seeking to do is to put rock back onto the beach and, hopefully, over the next number of months and years, to protect the vital asset of this business which is the golf course."
Storms two years ago took their toll.
The Trump organisation says the previous owners of the resort also wanted some form of fortifications in line with what is happening all along the wild Atlantic coast.
"Donald Trump has the means to do it," said Mr Russell.
"My concern is that we're going to have another storm.
"It hits the dune face, it takes from the golf course and we end up with a tourist season in a future year that is compromised.
"The jobs, the local economy and people's livelihoods will be affected by a golf course that has essentially been destroyed by the ocean."
But some ecologists oppose the proposal.
Theresa O'Donohoe from the Clare Environmental Network says experience shows sea fortifications are futile against storms and crashing waves.
"I find it very hypocritical for a man who claims that man is not making climate change to want to build what they say is not a wall but is effectively a wall against nature," she told the BBC.
"And it's not going to work against nature. Mother Nature will beat the wall down."
In the village of Doonbeg, most people seem to support the Trump proposal.
"Coastal protection is vitally needed in the area," said Rita McInerney, who runs The Wild Atlantic Break coffee shop.
"It's already been done in various other locations up and down the western sea board.
"It is a sign of the times that it's required."
Gareth Fitzpatrick, a school teacher and surfer, said he could see both sides of the argument.
"Donald Trump wants to protect his investment after losing 38 acres in the last storm, but on the other hand, you can see the environmental impact of it and for surfers," he said.
Tommy Tubridy, a publican and restaurateur, said more than 90% of local people wanted planning permission to be granted for the sea fortification.
"If this wall isn't built, in time from Doonbeg right out to Loop Head will become an island," he said.
"The sea will come in and take over from the golf course right towards Kilrush miles away."
Clare County Council has said it may be several months before a decision is reached on the Doonbeg barrier.
And who knows? By then it could be one of President Trump's two walls.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | The award handed out by Building Design magazine for a development judged to be the UK's worst designed was given to Lincoln Plaza near Canary Wharf.
The building was a "brain-numbing jumble of discordant shapes, patterns, materials and colours", it said.
A Poole church extension and Sheffield University block made the shortlist.
Last year's Carbuncle Cup went to the City of London skyscraper nicknamed the Walkie Talkie.
Building Design established the award in 2006 as a "light-hearted way of drawing attention to a serious problem - bad architecture blighting the country's towns and cities".
Nominations for the Carbuncle Cup come from readers of the magazine and a shortlist is drawn up by a jury.
Lincoln Plaza was designed by London-based BUJ Architects for Galliard Homes and features two residential towers, a hotel and a standalone drum-shaped building.
Remaining three-bedroom flats in the building are on sale at £795,000, but Building Design editor Thomas Lane described it as "the worst building amongst a swathe of mediocrity" in the South Quay area of the Docklands.
"There is a pressing need for more homes in London and further afield. Lincoln Plaza is the type of project that gives high-rise housing a bad name, making it more difficult to persuade communities to accept new housing," the jury added.
Galliard Homes said its "scheme sold out to buyers, so clearly the project is liked by the purchasers".
The developers added: "Architectural design is art, and like all art, a matter of personal tastes. Each project the company delivers is bespoke and distinctive and the company has built a strong reputation for rapidly selling out."
The other buildings on the Carbuncle Cup shortlist were:
Building Design said Saffron Square has been described as having a "car crash of a facade".
The Diamond at Sheffield University, said the jury, had an "unsettling similarity to a hydroelectric plant, while Stoke-on-Trent's Council offices were likened to an "aesthetic mutation between the nostalgic 1980s brain games of Connect 4 and Blockbusters".
The Poole Methodist Church extension was compared to an "unimaginative grey box". Building Design said it "may be small, but the sheer scale of its deficiencies reverberate far and wide across the grim spectrum of planning failure and architectural blight".
5 Broadgate attracted the most comments from the magazine's readers during the nomination process, being likened to a "mute steel fortress" and "a flak tower that gives nothing back to the city". | A 31-storey luxury residential tower block in London's Docklands called "jarring, unsettling and shambolic" by critics has won the 2016 Carbuncle Cup. |

Give a brief summary of the content. | That's what some people who've been housed by councils in temporary accommodation have been telling us.
They say officials need to make sure vulnerable residents are protected.
A violent ex-offender, Matthew Williams, murdered 22-year-old Cerys Yemm in his South Wales room two weeks ago.
Police caught him reportedly engaged in an 'act of cannibalism'. He had been placed in a hotel temporarily by his local council after his release from prison.
While it isn't believed that Cerys was a victim of domestic abuse, the charity Women's Aid is concerned that too often women and children escaping domestic violence end up in these kinds of hostels or hotels.
One 27-year-old, who we are calling Sara, told us: "It really made me cry. I didn't want to stay there."
She had escaped a violent relationship and was eight months pregnant.
"The first hostel they put me in was in an old church and there were all kinds of people.
"My ex, the person I was running from, had a problem with drugs and they put me in a hostel with people with the same issue, and that really freaked me out."
Sara believes "it wasn't appropriate for a pregnant person seeing all these drunk people coming back at night".
It comes after the murder of Cerys Yemm in South Wales two weeks ago by violent ex-offender Matthew Williams.
He had been placed in a hotel temporarily by his local council after his release from prison.
Local councils are responsible for providing accommodation for homeless people.
But the Local Government Association, which represents councils, said 40% budget cuts have made it more difficult - especially for younger people.
Despite this they told us: "Councils do everything they can to protect vulnerable people from the risk of harm."
Violent ex-offender Matthew Williams was living in The Sirhowy Arms Hotel when he was found attacking Cerys.
His mother has claimed he'd stopped taking medication for paranoid schizophrenia but Mandy Miles, the woman who runs the accommodation, said she had no idea.
She also says the local council said nothing about Williams' past.
"We don't get filled with ex-offenders but when we do I ask them what they've done. I rely on them to tell me the truth."
She says if she knew about William's past she would have refused to keep him.
Others who've stayed with her include people who've lost everything in a house fire, or who've had their homes flooded, she says.
It also includes Rolly who was sent to the Sirhowy Arms Hotel to recover from heart surgery.
He'd lost his home after being made redundant.
"Some of them come in there, angry young men from prison.
"I was scared for myself sometimes."
He says he is also concerned for people, like Mandy, who offer this accommodation.
"You don't know what kind of background they've got. She could have anyone in there. They could turn on her one day."
Rolly says one fellow resident revealed that they'd just been released from serving a sentence for manslaughter.
Mandy's local authority, Caerphilly Council told Newsbeat: "B&Bs are used for short-term emergency accommodation while a permanent solution's found.
"Those running them are given relevant information about residents where appropriate."
Mandy however insists that didn't happen in the case of Matthew Williams.
She says data protection laws - designed to protect private information - are to blame for details being withheld.
She wants the system changed: "Any service provider who has taken in a prisoner needs to know their background.
"That Data Protection Act is no good to us. Not when someone has been killed."
And it seems more and more people are facing weeks, sometimes months, in these environments.
Women's Aid told Newsbeat one in six dedicated domestic violence refuges have been closed in the last ten years, due to funding cuts.
The housing charity Shelter told us the number of homeless families living in bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation in England has almost doubled in just three years.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Centre Cory Allen was taken off on a stretcher during Blues' 14-13 defeat by Leinster on Saturday.
"He'll be in a protective boot for the next 24 hours and he'll be assessed," said Blues coach Danny Wilson.
Fellow centre Jonathan Davies missed Clermont Auvergne's 28-17 over Castres and fly-half Rhys Priestland injured a leg playing for Bath against Wasps.
Davies has a groin injury and Wales coach Warren Gatland has delayed his team announcement for Friday night's game until Wednesday.
Wales are already without Scarlets centre Scott Williams, who has not played since Wales' 28-25 win over England in October.
Allen was one of seven Wales squad players released to the Blues by Gatland.
He turned on an ankle early in the second half, and was wearing a surgical support boot after the match.
Allen had already missed much of the season with a hamstring injury suffered playing for Wales against Uruguay in the World Cup, and only returned to action at the end of December.
Another player carrying an injury is second row Luke Charteris, who hurt his knee in the 27-23 win over Scotland.
He missed Racing 92's match with Grenoble, and - along with Davies - will be assessed by medical staff when he returns to the Wales camp.
Preistland took a blow to the leg in Bath's defeat by Wasps, but the club's director of rugby Mike Ford said he does not think it is serious. | Wales could be facing a midfield injury crisis ahead of their Six Nations Championship match with France. |

Campaigners told a public meeting on Thursday they planned to form a charitable trust to run the theatre, which closed in 2014.
Scarborough Borough Council has not commented on the proposals.
The Conservative-run council's cabinet has previously judged the Futurist is not sustainable as a theatrical venue.

Adam Flynn, a Save our Futurist campaigner, said the venue could host large-scale musical productions.
He said: "If it was brought up to modern standards to allow these shows to come, then we could see huge economic benefits."
He added the group would need 12 to 18 months to allow it to raise around £40,000 to carry out a full feasibility study and develop a business plan.
Reports to be considered by the council on 9 January said that if it does not approve demolition costs of £4m, the building will remain in its current state of repair.
Only minimum repairs would be carried out in the future to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements, council officers warned.
The council plans to clear the site and stabilise a cliff behind the theatre to allow the land to be made available for redevelopment.
Flamingo Land, which is a large visitor attraction in Malton, North Yorkshire, has already expressed interest in developing a new year-round tourist attraction on the site.
RBS said a one-off dividend payment of £1.2bn to the UK government dragged down an otherwise profitable period.
Operating profits rose to £421m for the quarter, up from just £37m in 2015, but total revenue fell 13% to £3.06bn.
RBS is still 73% owned by taxpayers after its government bailout during the financial crisis.
The bank said that excluding the one-off payment to the government, which will allow RBS to resume paying dividends to private shareholders in due course, it would have posted a profit of £225m.
It said last month that dividend payments were not expected to resume for at least a year. The bank shares were trading down almost one percent on Friday morning at 243p per share.
Ross McEwan, chief executive, said: "This bank has great brands and great market positions and piece-by-piece we are building a solidly performing, profitable bank doing great things for customers and returning value for shareholders."
On Thursday, RBS said that spinning off its subsidiary Williams & Glyn, as demanded by the EU, was taking longer than expected.
Continuing efforts to restructure the business - including the Williams & Glyn separation - cost the bank £238m.
"Unfortunately the 'to do' list at RBS continues to grow," said Richard Hunter, head of research at Wilson King Investment Management, with the delays and costs associated with divesting Williams & Glyn "the latest fly in the ointment".
But day-to-day expense control provided a bright spot for the bank, as it tried to cut operating expenses by £800m a year by the end of 2016. So far this year, they are £189m lower.
RBS said there had been strong growth in both its mortgage and commercial businesses in the quarter.
However, challenging market conditions that have affected traders across the banking sector were a drag on revenues.
There were also sales of assets, such as Coutts private bank subsidiaries in Asia, the Middle East and Russia, that brought in less than had been expected. | Campaigners attempting to save a 1920s' theatre threatened with demolition want a "stay of execution" to come up with a business plan.

A 17-year-old suspect is accused of attempting to travel in 2015 to fight with the Islamic State (IS) group.
The Australian government has made it a criminal offence under to take part in, fund, recruit or train for the conflict with IS, or to travel for certain areas in Syria and Iraq under IS control.
Police were quick to defend the amount of time between the alleged offences and the arrests, saying a lack of law enforcement in the region made it hard to gather evidence.
"We ensure that we continue to take the matters of foreign incursion very seriously," Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan told reporters.
Police also said that the involvement of a teenager was troubling.
"We have a juvenile who appears to be involved, and we will allege is involved potentially in wanting to engage in hostile activities, and this is a continuing concern for us," Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said.

The 28-year-old said she feared she was about to be made homeless and would be unable to look after the boa constrictor and bull python.
She will be sentenced on 18 August.
Lampe had been living with her sister in Church Stretton since May last year but did not see eye-to-eye with her sister's partner, the court heard.

Wiltshire Police asked anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has any information to contact them.
Supt Andrew Carr said it was "an absolute tragic accident".
He said he did not believe the roadsweeper had been operating at the time and said it was "one of the larger ones you'd see clearing the gutter".
The DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said Charter NI's Dee Stitt would not be in post were he in charge of the Belfast organisation.
Mr Stitt has been criticised for remarks made in an article in the Guardian newspaper.
He described loyalist band the North Down Defenders as "our homeland security."
Mr Stitt, also a leading UDA member, further claimed the government does not care about Northern Ireland in a foul-mouthed attack..
Lagan Valley MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson told the BBC's Nolan Show any change to Mr Stitt's position is a matter for Charter NI.
However, the MP said were he in charge of the organisation, "I would not have him as my chief executive in light of these comments".
"I can only express a personal opinion. It's a matter for Charter NI if he should remain the chief executive."
The MP said Mr Stitt's comments were "highly regrettable" and he did not support them in any way.
But he said the community organisation, recently given nearly £2m of public money, "do some excellent work in east Belfast".
"I am not going to play the game of condemning the work of an entire organisation because of the comments of one individual."
Mr Donaldson also said the organisation enjoyed the support of Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster because of their work "to transform communities in east Belfast."
The Northern Ireland Executive has awarded a £1.7m grant to Charter NI which is a community-based organisation in East Belfast.
The money came from the executive's social investment fund.
Mr Stitt had previously released a statement to the BBC's Nolan Show where he challenged allegations that he was a UDA commander.
He told the BBC "to the best of my knowledge, none of these allegations have been supported by evidence being presented to the PSNI".
Jack Stephens said Ranieri had "done the impossible" by helping Leicester win the Premier League and was the team's "greatest ever manager".
He invited fellow fans to show their gratitude ahead of Leicester's home game against Liverpool.
It is Leicester's first game since Ranieri was sacked.
Jack, from Leicester, said: "I wasn't very pleased because I personally thought it was the wrong decision.
"As a chairman I think you need to show more loyalty to your manager."
Fans gathered at the Clock Tower at 18:00 GMT where they sang Leicester City and Claudio Ranieri songs alongside a gospel choir from De Montfort University.
They then marched through the city, finishing at the King Power Stadium at 19:45.
Jack's mother Lucy said there had been a lot of interest in the celebration - including from Italian news media - after Jack and his 18-year-old sister promoted it on Facebook.
"We've had messages from Spain and abroad and it's really got people going," she said.
"Obviously because Ranieri is such a classy man he's not said anything against anybody."
Ranieri said his "dream died" when he was sacked nine months after winning the Premier League.
Former Leicester City player Gary Lineker admitted the sacking made him "shed a tear" and said: "I think they should be building statues to him, not sacking him." | An 11-year-old boy has died after being hit by a roadsweeper when he was out riding his bike in a Wiltshire town.

What is the summary of the following article? | During the raids on 7-8 May and 8-9 May 1941 more than 400 people were killed in the East Yorkshire port.
In all 1,200 were killed, 3,000 injured and more than 150,000 were made homeless by German raids on the city.
A service has been held at Holy Trinity Church and a book about the attacks has been launched.
The book written by a local author, mixes fact and fiction with any profits going to the Hull People's Memorial fund.
Hull suffered numerous air raids because it was a port, easy to find, and German aircraft flew over it to reach other targets such as Sheffield, Liverpool or Manchester.
Alan Bingham, of the Hull People's Memorial, said: "I think it is extremely important to remember the people who lived through the blitz and who survived.
"They have lived through the nightmares for the rest of their lives. Some of the sights they have seen must have been truly horrendous."

The Rev Canon Dr Neal Barnes, Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, said: "The city was really traumatised and we wanted to help the people to remember."
The service in the church included popular songs from WW2 to "get into the mood that helped Hull get through those dark days", he added.
Other events and exhibitions to mark the blitz are being held over the weekend.
The US Commodity and Futures Commission (CTFC) alleges it and its former subsidiary Mondelez Global bought $90m (£61m) of wheat futures but had no intention of taking delivery of it.

Wilson had been due to reprise his role as Victor Meldrew, the grumpy pensioner in BBC comedy One Foot In The Grave.
His 12-night run, billed as I Don't Believe It! An Evening with Victor Meldrew, was due to begin on Tuesday at the Assembly Roxy.
The show's promoters, Assembly, confirmed the cancellation of the production.
In a statement, they said: "Due to ill health, Richard Wilson has taken the decision, to take some time out.
"He is sorry to have to disappoint those hoping to see him in Edinburgh.
"We hope to plan further shows for later in the year."
Mr Wilson was born in Greenock and came to acting relatively late.
He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art after completing national service in the army and working as a hospital lab technician.
He later won plaudits in the acclaimed 1987 series Tutti Frutti, which also starred Robbie Coltraine and Emma Thompson,

They come just days after Wales failed to secure a large defence investment from Boeing UK for a centre of excellence and up to 1,500 jobs.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said it was "disappointing" Cardiff Airport missed out on Boeing's hub.
The 256 new jobs involve:
It is the first in a series of job announcements being made this week by Mr Skates.
He said it was an indication of the "hard work going on behind the scenes" by the Welsh Government.
Mr Skates said: "It's particularly important to recognise that every part of Wales needs to benefit from economic growth so I'm keen to announce through this themed week, job creation packages in every area of the country."
BBI Group began in 1986 as a Cardiff University spin-out company and now has a £60m turnover.
It produces enzymes and assays for use in diagnostics for a wide range of diseases.
SPC operations director Paul Hallas said its new facility was "the latest phase of our expansion plans for the growing business".
What they produce is sold across the world to firms which make diagnostic kits for anything from hospital blood tests, to home kits for people with diabetes.
It is a growing sector and one company they supply make 6bn diagnostics strips a year.
The company took over a site in Blaenavon which has been operating since 1974 and some of the staff have been there for more than 30 years.
They are skilled jobs, many have science degrees and all are paid above average for Wales.
The news comes as it emerged Wales had failed to secure a large investment from Boeing UK.
Instead, the US aerospace giant confirmed to BBC Wales that the jobs and investment are going to Wiltshire and that a site at Cardiff Airport came second.
Aerospace is an industry which the Welsh Government has called a priority sector.
There are already 160 aerospace companies in Wales employing 23,000 people, many of whom will earn wages above average.
"We got down to the final two," said Mr Skates.
"We're in a strong position should opportunities emerge from Boeing. However, the fact we reached that point demonstrates we're ahead of most of the competition in most of the sectors."
He said the Ministry of Defence presence in that area was an attraction to Boeing, and Wales had beaten off a huge number of investment areas across Britain to get close to winning the deal.
Many more people are working in Wales than recent years and Welsh unemployment levels have been below the UK average for many months.
The ONS figures published in January show there were 24,000 more people working in Wales than a year earlier but 18,000 fewer than the previous three months.
Clearly it is good news for the extra individuals who are now in work and good for the wider economy that unemployment in Wales is now below the UK rate.
The weakness in the Welsh economy is low productivity and low wages.
The most recent official Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings figures from ONS for April 2016 show middle income workers (median earnings) in Wales earn £492.40 a week compared with £538.70 for the UK as a whole.
That is the second lowest average earnings of all the 12 nations and regions of the UK.
Mr Skates said it was about focusing on priority jobs and sectors such as financial and professional services - which were bringing "incredible results" - and advanced manufacturing.
He told BBC Wales he also wants people, once in work, to develop their skill levels to "rise up the escalator of economic activity" to become more prosperous. | Pakistan have decided not to renew Shahid Afridi's central contract.

President: Michel Temer
Michel Temer was sworn in as president in August 2016 after senators voted to remove Dilma Rousseff from office over financial irregularities.
His inauguration brought to an end the 13-year rule of Ms Rousseff's left-wing Workers' Party.
A veteran of the centrist Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), Mr Temer will serve out the rest of Ms Rousseff's term to the end of 2018.
Once political allies, Mr Temer served as vice-president in Ms Rousseff's government for over five years before playing a key role in impeachment proceedings against her. He acted as interim president during her trial.
In his first televised cabinet meeting following his inauguration, Mr Temer pledged to bring back "political stability" to the recession-stricken country.
"My only interest is in handing over to my successor a country that is reconciled, pacified and growing economically," he said.
Descriptions of his public persona have ranged from "a good negotiator" to "conspirator", and Mr Temer has himself been implicated in corruption scandals. The former law professor is married, and has five children with three women.

Please summarize the document below. | Passenger numbers fell to 2.2 million in the three months to the end of March from 2.3 million a year earlier.
Eurostar said "demand is dampened" and there had been a particular slowdown in travellers from the US and Asia.
Revenues also fell to £201m, down 6% from a year earlier.
However, Eurostar said it had seen a surge in ticket sales in recent weeks ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament, with the opening day of the competition - 10 June - proving to be the busiest day as the hosts France take on Romania in Paris.
The company said it expected nearly 500,000 passengers to make the trip to the main host cities in France, including Lille, Paris, Lyon and Marseille, throughout June.
Eurostar chief executive Nicolas Petrovic told the BBC's Today programme travellers "remain cautious" following the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March.
While the number of people coming from the UK rebounded "quite quickly" after the attacks, those travelling from further afield still have not.
"People coming form North America and South East Asia, particularly Japan, are fearful of coming to Europe at all. They don't really understand what's going on and would rather go elsewhere altogether," he said.
Past experience suggested it would take 12 months for numbers to get back to normal after the attacks on the Belgian and French capitals, he added.
"Hopefully next year international visitors will come back,"

The Freight Transport Association said drivers faced regular and sometimes serious confrontations with stowaways.
The Port of Dover said the priority was to keep the port open.
About 2,000 migrants have gathered in Calais in they hope they can make the crossing to Dover.
Hauliers can face fines of up to £2,000 for each illegal migrant found on their lorry.
A Port of Dover spokesman said: "Over the next few days we will be monitoring the situation to ensure that we can deal with any planned protests in the safest and most constructive way."
Kent Police said "wilful obstruction of a highway" was an offence.
A force spokesman said: "The primary role of Kent Police is to facilitate lawful peaceful protest whilst ensuring public safety."
He said the force was in contact with the protesters via social media.
Natalie Chapman, from the FTA, said: "We completely understand the frustration of drivers who feel they are being used as scapegoats in what is a desperate situation.
"Our understanding is that they're looking at using lorries to blockade the Port of Dover. It has potential to cause huge disruption.
"However, we just don't think that this is the right way to resolve this situation."
Ms Chapman said some lorry drivers were having to take out personal loans to pay the fines.
Salvagers righted the Eastern Star on Friday after officials said chances of finding anyone alive were slim.
Just 14 of the 456 passengers and crew are known to have survived. More than 100 are still missing.
The tragedy looks set to be China's worst shipping disaster in more than 60 years of Communist rule.
Why did cruise ship capsize?
Hundreds of the bodies were discovered after emergency workers righted the ship with cranes and raised it above the river's currents.
Hooks were welded onto the ship and a net stretched around the entire structure in order to lift it.
By first light on Friday, the ship could be seen lying on its side with its name visible just above the water. Xinhua state news agency later tweeted a picture of the righted vessel, its roof apparently crushed.
Officials said there had been no further signs of life inside the ship, Xinhua news agency reports.
Chinese President Xi Jinping promised a thorough investigation into the cause of the disaster, after angry relatives protested at the scene.
Authorities tightly controlled access to the site, leading family members and journalists to complain about a lack of information.

Questions raised over Eastern Star's sinking
Most of the 14 people known to have survived jumped from the ship as it began to sink. Three were rescued by divers from air pockets in the upturned hull.
The cause of the sinking is not yet known, but survivors have spoken of an intense storm which flipped the boat over in minutes.
The captain and chief engineer, who were among those who escaped, have since been detained.
Maritime agency records showed the ship was investigated for safety violations two years ago. It was held alongside five other vessels in 2013 over safety concerns.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Crowds are complex. Some people fear they may turn violent, with individual personalities becoming submerged in the group mentality.
But some leading social psychologists who research crowds believe that this old picture is mistaken.
"The danger with this view of crowds as inherently violent isn't just that it's wrong, it's that it might become true. It might lead us to treat crowds in ways that will enrage them," says psychologist Professor Steve Reicher.
Of course crowds are not all the same - there are different types of crowd and controlling them requires different approaches.
There are violent crowds, of course. Some sporting crowds become violent. For example, British football stadiums in the 1970s and 1980s became notorious as arenas for hooliganism between rival sets of fans.
Political rallies can also become violent, although they often begin peacefully enough. Then there are spontaneous riots, usually sparked by a particular incident such as a police killing. Unrest in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson in the American mid-West in August 2014 began after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
In Britain, in August 2011, a police killing of Mark Duggan in north London set off a wave of violence across the nation. Even when there are outbreaks of violence, the targets are not random: in that sense, it's an error to regard them as crazy, or without reason.
Despite the popular conception of the dangerous crowd, Keele University's Clifford Stott also rejects the view that they are inherently threatening.
"The language of pathology that we use about the crowd, the idea that people become bestial in crowds, robs people of the meaningful nature of that behaviour," he argues.
Some crowds are remarkably non-violent even when baited. A good example is the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, where protestors usually remained calm in the face of provocation from the police. "Non-violence" was part of the movement's ideology.
In fact, not only are most crowds peaceful, but we positively seek them out, because we enjoy being among them. Watching a football match in a half-empty stadium is a dispiriting experience.
Much of the joy of being at a music festival is hearing the musical acts while surrounded by other devotees.
Of course, all this raises the question of what counts as a crowd.
Compare sitting at a crowded sports event with fellow enthusiasts and sitting in a train packed with commuters. The former is exhilarating, the latter can be uncomfortable.
That is partly because there is no psychological connection between commuters - they don't feel any sense of shared identity. Now imagine that the train stutters to a halt in a tunnel and the driver announces on the tannoy that, because of a technical fault, there will be an indefinite delay. What will happen?
Well, people might begin to talk to each other and might even share their sandwiches. There is now a psychological connection between them, they are part of a group whose lives have been inconvenienced by the train company.
Having a sense of identity with others can influence us in myriad ways. Prof Reicher, from St Andrews University, ran a test involving sweaty T-shirts, the results of which were published earlier this year.
A group of 135 students were asked to smell the T-shirts. For one group, the shirt had a logo with which they could identify (that of their university). The other group had no connection with the shirt. They sniffed it for a shorter period and washed their hands with more soap afterwards.
The study authors inferred from this that the level of disgust was greater when there was no connection to the clothing.
On a packed train, we often find being squashed up against other human bodies repugnant, but not so when we are at a music festival.
The study of crowds has many practical implications. One is how crowds should be policed. In the past, the British police have used a tactic which they call containment, but which is popularly known as kettling.
During a political demonstration, they may cordon off a crowd, preventing protestors from leaving for a period of time until it is deemed safe to disperse them. After a challenge, the practice was ruled lawful by the European Court of Human Rights.
Lawful, perhaps, but Prof Reicher believes it is a terrible way of dealing with the threat of disorder. When enclosed together, the sense of identity among the demonstrators becomes reinforced - just as it does with commuters stuck on a faulty train.
When demonstrators are kettled, they are forced to share the same fate which can forge a common identity. They may believe their legitimate rights have been trampled on and those within the group who advocate conflict with the police can become more influential.
It is often precisely those who had set out to express their legitimate grievances in a peaceful manner who can become most outraged by harsh policing.
"Every group has notions of right and wrong and it is always possible to enrage people by trampling on their notions of legitimacy," argues Prof Reicher.
"When there is kettling, the irony is that often the activists don't like it but they're used to it. It's people who've never experienced it before - and who suddenly find themselves being treated as if they're the sort of people their mothers warned them against - who are absolutely outraged."
The police often fear the influence of a few violent people, but by treating the crowd in an undifferentiated way, they risk magnifying the very influence they want to curb.
Crowd psychologists like Prof Stott believe a better response is for the police to see their role as supporting lawful gatherings rather than impeding them.
"The best way to manage these problems is through facilitation of legitimate behaviour, not necessarily a focus on the control of illegitimate behaviour," he says.
There is some indication that the police are beginning to take the academic work on crowds seriously. For many years, retired commander Bob Broadhurst was responsible for public order in the Metropolitan Police.
Among many important public events, he oversaw the police operation during the G20 demonstrations in London in 2009, when demonstrators were kettled.
He still defends kettling as a legitimate tactic, but now concedes that "it was used as too much of a blunt tool".
During those G20 demonstrations, newspaper vendor Ian Tomlinson was struck by a police baton and later died. Since then, police forces up and down the country have deployed what are called Police Liaison Officers (PLOs).
Their job is not to arrest, but to talk and de-escalate tension when it emerges. Mr Broadhurst says that even when crowds are forcibly contained, lessons have been learned from past, often unpleasant experiences.
"You need to let the crowd know why you're doing it," he says. "And you need to target as best you can, those individuals who are the problem. The PLOs, by talking to protestors in the planning stage, are helping."
The evidence is beginning to pile up that this different approach to policing - not just at demonstrations, but at sports events too - would reduce violence, tension and police costs.
Good news for the police. And good news too for those who enjoy the thrill, the collective action and the sense of belonging that comes with being in the crowd.

Can you summarize this content? | At least 20 people died and scores were injured in the attack on the Erawan Shrine, a Hindu site which is also popular with Thai Buddhists.
Thai police say the main suspect is a young man seen entering the shrine with a backpack then leaving without it.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has said the incident was the worst ever attack on Thailand.
In a separate attack on Tuesday, an explosive device was thrown at a pier in Bangkok. No-one was hurt, but the authorities have not ruled out a link between the incidents.
National police spokesperson Prawut Thawornsiri said on Wednesday that police were also looking for accomplices of the main suspect.
"These types of attacks are not usually planned by one person alone," he said, according to Reuters news agency.
The shrine reopened at about 08:00 local time (01:00 GMT), with a handful of people arriving to place flowers or light incense in front of the slightly damaged statue of the Hindu god Brahma.
A BBC reporter at the scene says there appears to be low security in place, with the public free to walk in unchecked. She says the last human remains were only cleared from the site earlier on Wednesday.
The shrine was reopened 34 hours after the blast. The aim of the authorities is to say "business as usual" so the seat of the blast has been repaired, the fresh concrete still wet in the morning sun as worshippers entered a short distance away.
One man who had come from Malaysia told the BBC he was there, firstly, to remember the people who died but also to give thanks for a decision of fate which saved him.
He and his wife were going to the shrine at the hour of the blast but decided at the last moment to postpone their visit. There are many such fateful choices which people made in this city - for good and ill.
The opening of the shrine shows that you can concrete over material damage. You can't, though, concrete over human pain.
Most of the victims of Monday's attack were Thai, but nationals from China, Hong Kong, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore were among the foreigners killed.
No-one has yet claimed responsibility.
Maj Gen Weerachoon Sukhontapatipak, a spokesman in the military government, earlier told the BBC that the authorities were "quite close" to identifying the suspect caught on CCTV at the shrine.
The man is seen carefully and deliberately removing his backpack inside the shrine - at the spot the bomb went off - then getting up without it and immediately leaving.
Maj Gen Sukhontapatipak said no motive was being ruled out, but that the bomber did not appear to be Thai and the character of the bombing was "quite different" from previous bombings by Islamist separatists in southern Thailand.
Speaking in a television address on Tuesday evening, Mr Prayuth said the attack showed that Thailand "still has a person or a group of people with hostility to the nation operating actively".
"They may be doing it for a political motive or to undermine the economy or tourism or for other reasons," he said, according to the Bangkok Post.
He also warned against speculation on possible perpetrators, saying it could cause panic or mislead the investigation. | The shrine in Bangkok which was hit by a deadly explosion on Monday reopened to the public on Wednesday. |
Write a summary of this document. | Barry McCarthy, 51, killed his 50-year-old wife Lorna at the house in Gorleston, Norfolk after she returned after a night out in September.
Norwich Crown Court was told he had discovered she had been using online dating agencies and he objected.
Judge Anthony Bate, sitting at King's Lynn, said McCarthy should serve 16 years before parole is considered.
He had been separated from his wife for four months, sleeping in separate bedrooms, before killing her, the court heard.
She had already agreed to stop using dating websites but during the fatal night out with friends on Saturday 27 September, McCarthy called her and they argued.
After returning home at around 03:00 on Sunday 28 September she sent text messages to friends and family stating McCarthy had smashed up her laptop computer.
She also sent a text to her daughter at 04:15 saying: "I'm out in Norwich tomorrow from midday but if I have not messaged you by then please call the police.
"I'm quite serious as I really don't know what he is capable of these days."
Her daughter never received the text.
At lunchtime on the Sunday McCarthy went to Gorleston police station where he used the public telephone outside to confess killing his wife.
Police found her body at the Sussex Road house in the back bedroom and tests revealed she had died from a stab wound to the heart.
Det Ch Insp Paul Durham said: "The sentence reflects the severity of what was a horrific and brutal attack on a woman in her own home by a man she had spent 25 years of her life with."
Defence Secretary Ash Carter has called the regulation outdated and harmful to the military.
The disclosure has been welcomed by campaigners for transgender rights.
It comes after the US Army Secretary, Eric Fanning, formally took office. He is the first openly gay person to become the top civilian official in any branch of the American military.
The US military ended its ban on openly gay and lesbian service personnel in 2011.
The latest repeal would require each branch of the US military to implement new policies covering recruitment, housing and uniforms for transgender personnel, an official quoted by US media said.
"Our transgender service members and their families are breathing a huge sigh of relief," said Ashley Broadway-Mack, president of the American Military Partner Association.
But Republican lawmaker Mac Thornberry, who chairs the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, said Ash Carter had still not answered some of its questions about the move.
"If reports are correct, I believe Secretary Carter has put the political agenda of a departing administration ahead of the military's readiness crisis," he said in a statement.

What is the summary of the document provided? | Lauren Masters was pronounced dead at the scene after she suffered knife wounds at the property in Sutherland Avenue, Bexhill.
Officers were called to reports of a stabbing at 13:35 BST on Friday.
Paul Withers, 21, and from Bexhill, will appear before Brighton Magistrates' Court on Monday, Sussex Police said.
He told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show there would be "political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed".
The comments follow the High Court ruling that MPs and peers must have a vote ahead of the government triggering official talks with the European Union.
The campaigner who brought the case said it had given "clarity".
Mr Farage is in charge of UKIP on an interim basis, as the party looks for its next full-time leader, following the resignation of Diane James after just 18 days in the job.
The judges who ruled on Thursday that the government must seek MPs' approval to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - getting formal Brexit negotiations with the EU under way - have been criticised in some newspapers, the Daily Mail calling them "enemies of the people".
Mr Farage said: "We may have seen Bob Geldof and 40,000 people in Parliament Square moaning about Brexit.
"Believe you me, if the people in this country think they're going to be cheated, they're going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed in this country. Those newspaper headlines are reflecting that."
Asked by Andrew Marr if there was a danger of "disturbance in the streets and so on" if Parliament thwarted Brexit, Mr Farage replied: "Yes, I think that's right."
He added: "The temperature of this is very, very high.
"Now, I'm going to say to everybody watching this who was on the Brexit side - let's try and get even, let's have peaceful protests and let's make sure in any form of election we don't support people who want to overturn this process."
Also appearing on Andrew Marr, investment manager Gina Miller, who brought the High Court case against the government, insisted the UK had a representative democracy which ensured politicians had to debate issues.
"Do we want a country where we have no process?" she asked, adding: "The case is that [Mrs May] cannot use something called the Royal Prerogative to do it because we do not live in a tin-pot dictatorship."
She told Mr Farage: "That's what you argued for the whole way through [the Brexit referendum campaign] - parliamentary sovereignty."
He replied: "No, no. This is not about whether Parliament is sovereign; it's about whether the British people are sovereign."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron criticised Mr Farage over his warnings of disturbances, saying "all responsible politicians" must distance themselves from UKIP's leader.
He said: "This is the politics of the gutter. All that has happened is that British judges in a British court have interpreted British laws.
"Nigel Farage should welcome that. British citizens aren't talking about taking to the street, only Nigel Farage is.
"Responsible leaders have a duty to calm tempers, heal division and work together to keep Britain open, tolerant and united."
Meanwhile, Mr Farage told Andrew Neil he was "sick" of and "finished" with party politics but would continue campaigning on "issues" after leaving frontline politics.
Several contenders have quit the leadership contest, leaving Suzanne Evans, Paul Nuttall and John Rees-Evans.
Mr Farage described the situation as a "soap opera" over a "terrible few weeks", but said the party was still well-placed in the opinion polls. | A man has been charged with murder after a women was found stabbed to death at her flat in East Sussex.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Wayne Ingram, from Weymouth, raised £140,000 for the boy who he first met on Army patrol in Bosnia 14 years ago.
Stefan Savic, now 18, has undergone a series of operations and has since made a full recovery.
Mr Ingram, a South Western Ambulance paramedic, said receiving the award was a "humbling and memorable experience".
Mr Ingram raised the funds to pay for five operations for Stefan, who had his first operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in July 2003 and his final one in October last year.
If left untreated Stefan's cleft could have had serious health complications, including blindness and the restriction of his airway, the ambulance service trust said.
Mr Ingram, who was nominated for the award by a Serbian newspaper, attended the awards ceremony at Belgrade City Hall.
"It was a truly humbling and memorable experience," he said.
"I feel immense pride - the whole thing has been a rollercoaster of emotions.
"Stefan's facial transformation and progress is truly remarkable."
He said he would maintain contact with Stefan and his family.
Police were searching the residential area of Kallyanpur when they were attacked by handmade bombs.
Bangladesh has seen a string of deadly attacks on secular writers, bloggers, and member of religious minorities.
Earlier this month 20 people, mostly foreigners, were killed in a bloody attack on an upmarket cafe in Dhaka.
It was not immediately clear which group the suspected militants killed on Tuesday were part of. One suspect was taken into custody by police.
On 1 July, five armed men entered the Holey Artisan Bakery in the diplomatic area and held people hostage for several hours. At least 20 people died in an attack claimed by Islamic State.
Since the attack, police have been conducting planned "block raids" in suspected militant hideouts.
It was during one of these regular searches that the police came under attack on Tuesday, according to Deputy Police Commissioner Masud Ahmed, and retaliated with gun fire.
This is the first time several suspected Islamist militants have been killed in an operation since the Holey Artisan bakery siege. It is not yet clear which group they belonged to.
Police believe that dozens of extremists are still in hiding and may be planning further attacks. The security forces have been under intense criticism for failing to prevent recent attacks and the targeted killings in the past three years.
The Bangladeshi government says home-grown extremists are responsible for the violence. But the so-called Islamic State and Al-Qaeda in South Asia have claimed to have carried out some of these attacks.
Malakai Bakaniceva's try was converted by Nicolas Bezy, who also added two penalties, as the hosts started well.
The Falcons' only first-half points came from a Tom Catterick penalty as they trailed 13-3 at half-time.
But the visitors improved after the break and two Catterick penalties closed the gap to only four points, but Brive held firm to start with a win.
The Falcons, who are bottom of the Premiership with four defeats from four matches, retained 11 players from their defeat at Worcester last weekend, while Mark Wilson was captain on his return to action after knee surgery.
Newcastle and Brive have been drawn in the same group on six occasions since 2005-06 and the hosts' better start to the match through Bakaniceva's score ultimately proved decisive in a game of few try-scoring chances.
Brive: Sola; Radikedike, Septar, Tuatara, Masilevu; Bezy, Duhalde; Lavergne, Acquier, Jgenti, Lebas, Steenkamp, Hireche (capt), Luafutu, Whetton.

Measuring almost 23ft (7m) in diameter and titled Museum of the Moon, it has been created by Bristol-based artist Luke Jerram.
The artwork went on show to visitors at the Lakes Alive festival in Kendal.
Mr Jerram used images from NASA to create the installation, where each centimetre represents 5km of the moon.
He said: "Different cultures around the world have their own historical, cultural and religious relationships to the moon.
"So depending on where the Museum of The Moon is presented in the world, its meaning and interpretation will shift.
"As the artwork tours, new compositions will be created and performed by a range of established composers and musicians, so adding to the museum's collection.
"Like the moon, this artwork acts as a cultural mirror that allows us to observe and contemplate cultural differences around the world."
The floating artwork, that is illuminated and accompanied by music from different composers, was created in partnership with the University of Bristol and the UK Space Agency.
It is also due to visit Belgium and France in the coming months.

Irfon Williams, 45, from Bangor, has bowel cancer which spread to his liver.
He opted to live with relatives in north west England after a bid to get treatment funded in Wales using the drug Cetuximab was rejected.
The tumours been have shrunk and will be removed in September.
He no longer has symptoms from them.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said on Monday he would meet Mr Williams to "hear what he has to say to me".
Mr Williams told BBC Wales: "I've demonstrated that this has worked for me."
"I'm having surgery in September which could lead to remission.
"I'm not out of the water yet - there's still a long way to go - but I'm in a much better position now than I would've been had I not received this treatment."
In 2014, Mr Williams was told he probably only had two-and-a-half years to live but this appears to have changed following the treatment at Manchester's The Christie, one of Europe's leading cancer hospitals.
It was recommended by three clinical experts treating him, and is paid for through the Cancer Drugs Fund, which does not exist in Wales.
It led to Mr Williams launching his own campaign to highlight the issue in Wales, with questions put to Carwyn Jones in the Senedd earlier this year.
The Welsh government has ruled out its own Cancer Drugs Fund saying the one in England has spent millions of pounds on non-approved drugs that deliver little or no benefit for patients while its own system ensures all patients get access to proven and effective treatments.
Speaking at his monthly news conference on Monday, the first minister said he would meet Mr Williams, adding: "I want to hear what he has to say to me.
"He and his wife have been perfectly reasonable in terms of what they've been saying. I want to listen first of all and I'm not going to go into the meeting with any pre-conceived ideas of what the outcome will be."
Mr Jones added: "Most of the drugs that are funded by the Cancer Drugs Fund in England tend to be drugs that extend people's lives sometimes. We know they are not in the main life-saving drugs.
"Some people have a very good outcome or very good reaction and from what Mr Williams has been saying, he's doing well and good luck to him." | Max Power's late strike gave Wigan all three points after Peterborough has fought back from two goals down.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | The Scot, who also played for Rotherham and Burnley, made 445 appearances for Bristol City, becoming a club legend, before joining Manchester City in 1981.
After making his debut in 1970, Gow helped Bristol City win promotion to the old First Division in 1976.
He scored twice in Manchester City's run to the famous FA Cup final of 1981.
"Everyone at the club sends its condolences to Gerry's family and friends at this sad time," a Bristol City statement said.
Gow ended his playing career as player-manager at then non-league Yeovil Town, where he was in charge from 1984 to 1987.
A statement from Manchester City said: "Everyone at Manchester City FC is saddened to learn of the passing of Gerry Gow at the age of 64 following his brave battle with illness.
"A cult hero in his short spell at Maine Road in the eighties, Gow made 36 appearances for the Blues between 1981 and 1982."

The company said it would run the normal half-hourly service, which was replaced with buses, from Monday.
It comes the day after its parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) launched a consultation on a massive shake-up of timetables.
The direct services between Brighton and Seaford could be reduced from 2018.
Southern cut 341 trains out of 2,242 from its timetable on 11 July as GTR battled to cope with a dispute with the RMT union over the role of guards on the trains.
Some services were later restored, including five in Transport Secretary Chris Grayling's Epsom constituency.
Inner London and West London Line services were reintroduced on 5 September and the full timetable from Tonbridge and Reigate to Redhill and London Victoria/London Bridge on Monday.
Passenger services director Alex Foulds said Southern was sorry for the "hassle and inconvenience" to Seaford.
"The replacement of many of the Seaford trains with buses was understandably hard-felt by the local community," he said.
"We are pleased now to be able to restore the town's full service.
"We made a commitment at the start of the month to restore the full timetable of services incrementally and we're on track to deliver on that promise and in the coming weeks other services will be back too."
GTR is consulting the public on plans for trains from the south of England to London, Bedford, Cambridge and Peterborough.
Direct trains between London Victoria and Seaford may no longer run with journey times between Victoria and Eastbourne and direct services between Brighton and Seaford reduced.
Other services from Brighton could be increased.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Says who? Well, Chinese officials, as it happens.
Earlier this year, China's top promoter of foreign trade, Wan Jifei, said rising protectionism was having a negative impact.
"Trade protectionism is shortsighted and narrow-minded, and it cannot fundamentally address the problems of unemployment and economic growth worldwide," said Mr Wan, who is president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
"Free trade is the engine of national economic growth," he added.
His view was backed by President Hu Jintao, who praised the council's role in countering protectionism.
Now, you might think it a bit rich for China to denounce such measures, given that Beijing is routinely accused by others of protectionist behaviour.
Most recently, US President Barack Obama has alleged that China illegally subsidises exports of cars and car parts, thus forcing US manufacturers to shift production overseas.
On the other side of the US political fence, anti-China sentiment is also strong. The Republicans' Mitt Romney has pledged to declare China a "currency manipulator" if he is elected president in November, reflecting the anger felt by many Americans over what they see as the deliberate undervaluing of the yuan to favour Chinese exporters.
China is already facing several cases at the World Trade Organization (WTO), including one brought jointly by the US, the EU and Japan over its restrictions on rare earth exports.
On the other hand, China also sees itself as a victim of protectionism. In an effort to alleviate the pressure, it has begun talks with Japan and South Korea on a free-trade pact.
Some observers think the US should put its own house in order before it starts calling other nations protectionist.
After all, one proposal on the "to-do list" that President Barack Obama presented to Congress in the spring was a 20% tax credit for firms that relocate jobs to the US from abroad.
But the US can also point to fresh progress on trade liberalisation after its long-delayed free-trade deal with Colombia finally took effect in May.
Even so, fresh bilateral trade disputes between the US and China keep emerging.
In another row, Washington has slapped anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese solar panels, which it says are being sold at unfairly low prices. China denounced the move as protectionist, but the EU has also now begun an anti-dumping investigation into the trade.
It seems that free-trade and protectionist tendencies are fairly evenly balanced among the great powers, with every nationalist impulse countered by a liberalising one.
This "one step forward, one step back" behaviour can be seen in the EU as well, beset as it is by the crisis in the eurozone.
The recent French presidential election saw both the successful challenger, Francois Hollande, and the defeated incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy, stepping up their protectionist rhetoric in an effort to woo the 80% of voters who are anti-globalisation.
However, as has often been stated beyond the country's borders, France is a big winner from globalisation, with French companies doing 14 times more business abroad than foreign firms do in France.
Mr Hollande has said he wants French financial aid to go to exporters of French products.
But if he is serious about his campaign promise to create 150,000 new jobs in France, many analysts feel he will have to promote more competition in the economy, not less - in other words, more liberalisation and less protectionism.
In any case, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has long maintained that a return to protectionism would be a grave danger for the global economy, making it unlikely that Mr Hollande will get his way at a pan-European level.
Other regions of the world, notably Latin America, are similarly blowing hot and cold in the same trade debate.
In retrospect, the 2005 collapse of the ambitious Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) plan, which would have included all 34 of the hemisphere's democracies, marked the global turning of the tide against wholesale trade liberalisation.
Not long afterwards, the Doha world trade talks, held under the auspices of the WTO, entered their current moribund state, dispelling hopes of lowering trade barriers around the world.
Now Argentina is spearheading moves in South America's biggest economies to batten down the hatches and fend off imports from outside the region.
Argentina and Brazil are the most powerful members of the Mercosur trading bloc, which also includes Paraguay and Uruguay.
Argentina has proposed to Brazil that the external tariff levied on goods from outside the Mercosur region should rise from 10% to 35%, the maximum allowed under WTO rules.
At the same time, the cash-strapped government in Buenos Aires is desperate for Brazil to buy more of its goods and is pressing Brasilia to remove its import barriers to certain Argentine goods, including pharmaceuticals and citrus fruits.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez's economic nationalism recently manifested itself in her government's expropriation of Spanish-controlled oil company YPF.
Now her "fortress Mercosur" approach is demonstrating why some economists think trade blocs, or indeed bilateral trade agreements, do not actually promote free trade but merely divert existing trade.
India, too, is facing both ways on the issue. Recent comments by Indian politicians have echoed those of China in denouncing protectionist sentiment, particularly on the part of the US.
But India is still reluctant to give foreign firms greater access to its economy, as shown by the political row over its much-delayed decision to open up the supermarket sector to global giants such as Wal-Mart, Tesco and Carrefour.
Single-brand firms such as Starbucks and Ikea are already allowed to open stores in India, but only provided they buy 30% of their goods from domestic small industries.
From the perspective of the UK, such restrictions are frustrating. The list of British companies that have passed into foreign ownership is endless, from Cadbury's to Jaguar Land Rover.
Yet while Foreign Secretary William Hague has pledged to "argue relentlessly" around the world in favour of free trade and against protectionism, UK firms seeking to make acquisitions abroad do not always have reciprocal access to those foreign investors' home markets.
At the same time, some commentators in the UK are now beginning to wonder openly whether protectionism is such a bad thing after all.
The left-wing Compass pressure group caused a stir when it published a paper arguing that globalisation was "the underlying cause of today's economic and social malaise" and that "progressive protectionism" was the answer.
This is defined as "encouraging and allowing countries to rebuild and rediversify their economies by limiting what goods they let in and what funds they choose to enter or leave the country".
This prompted a heated response from a senior fellow at a free-market think tank, the Adam Smith Institute, who described the idea as "fascist economic policy" that was "stuck in some sort of 1700s mercantilist time warp".
But given the current ambivalent mood of politicians and voters alike in the face of global economic crisis, a return to widespread protectionism can hardly be ruled out. | As the global economy continues to face tough times, governments are increasingly playing politics with trade and giving in to protectionism. |

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The Grade II*-listed Victorian main hall is being repainted at a cost of £140,000.
Oxford Town Hall on St Aldate's is used as a venue for wedding receptions and council events.
It is hoped the work will be completed in time for events planned for September.
The town hall is one of central Oxford's most recognisable buildings. Designed by Henry Hare, it was officially opened by the Prince of Wales in 1897.
The ceiling is being repainted for the first time in three decades.
The work involves hand brushing and vacuuming the ceiling to remove 30 years of accumulated dust and dirt before it is completely repainted.
Richard Clements, of Oxford City Council, said: "It was getting a little bit tired and the work is part of the overall maintenance plan we have for the town hall.
"Events generate over £500,000 - that's another reason for getting it maintain the hall back in great condition."
Neale Cole, from contractors Mitie, described it as a "complex job" with paint having to be carefully mixed to match existing colours.
A free standing scaffold has been erected so as not to damage any of the delicate plasterwork on the walls.
With painting each bay taking around a week, the work is "on track" to be completed by September.
The ceiling above the stage and the hall's original Henry Willis organ will be painted last.

Summarize the following piece. | The Northern Ireland Community Finance Fund was first proposed more than a year ago in the 2015/16 budget.
It will have an initial £7.1m and will receive an estimated £800,000 a year in subsequent years.
Organisations such as community groups and churches will be able to bid for funds as either grants or loans.
Dormant accounts are legally defined as those that have seen no customer-initiated activity for at least 15 years.
The accounts are identified by banks and then the money is distributed by the Big Lottery Fund.
Dormant account charitable schemes already operate in other parts of the UK.
The minister, Mervyn Storey, said the scheme would "improve access to finance for a range of organisations".
"It will enable such organisations to make further investment in their activities, grow their organisations and become self sustaining through the availability of finance," he said.
The scheme is expected to be operational by the end of this year.
The Cochno Stone dates to 3000BC and is described as one of the best examples of Neolithic or Bronze Age cup and ring markings in Europe.
Located next to a housing estate, the stone was buried in 1965 to protect it from damage.
Excavation work started on Monday and is expected to last three weeks.
Archaeologists will use 3D-imaging technology to make a detailed digital record of the site.
They hope this will provide more information on the stone's history, purpose and the people who created it about 5,000 years ago.
Dr Kenny Brophy, from Glasgow University, who is leading the dig next to Cochno farm, said: "This is the biggest and, I would argue, one of the most important Neolithic art panels in Europe.
"The cup and ring marks are extensive but the site just happens to be in the middle of an urban housing scheme in Clydebank.
"It was last fully open to the elements and the public up until 1965. Sadly, as it was neglected it was also being damaged through vandalism and people just traipsing all over it.
"Renowned archaeologist Ludovic Maclellan Mann, with a team of experts, decided the best way to preserve it was to cover it over to protect it from further damage."
A trial excavation last year indicated modern graffiti is "probably extensive" over the stone's surface.
The joint project between the university's archaeology department and the Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Conservation aims to gather high-resolution data of the stone's surface before reburying it.
The foundation then hopes to produce a lifesize copy of the 8m by 13m stone using the recorded digital data and historical sources, including the graffiti as well as the prehistoric surface.
The foundation's Ferdinand Saumarez Smith said: "Factum Foundation captured the world's attention through its 3D scanning work that led to the discovery of evidence of a new chamber in the tomb of Tutankhamun.
"With the Cochno Stone, we are going to use similar recording methods to bring the world's attention to Scotland's equally important, mysterious and beautiful heritage.
"We believe that if we trust people, they will look after it." | Details of a community fund that will use money from dormant bank accounts have been announced by the finance minister.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The German Association of Judges (DRB) said there was "neither a legal basis nor an actual need for such a court".
But in response the European Commission said the Investment Court System (ICS) would not affect national or EU law.
The role of commercial courts is one of the thorniest issues in the EU-US trade negotiations, known as TTIP.
There are fears that big firms could put excessive legal pressure on states.
The Commission abandoned the idea of using existing arbitration courts, called Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), because of the accusation that powerful multinationals use them to force changes in public policy.
Rejecting the German judges' criticisms, a Commission trade spokesman told the BBC that the new ICS plan was based on input from parliaments in the EU and other stakeholders.
"The ICS only rules on matters of international law, contained in the agreement. It does not rule on member state law or EU law, and hence the ICS in no way alters the established court system within the EU," spokesman Joseph Waldstein said.
He said ICS proceedings would be transparent, with fully qualified judges and a right to appeal.
National and EU laws offer more protections for investors, he said, so they would be "unlikely to need to go to the ICS system".
TTIP stands for Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The Commission hopes to complete the wide-ranging talks by the summer, to avoid the disruption of the US presidential election.
Why the TTIP deal matters
The thorny issue of trade arbitration will be on the agenda of EU-US talks later this month.
There is widespread concern about the "chilling" effect that company lawsuits can have on governments trying to legislate on public health or the environment.
Critics point to the example of tobacco giant Philip Morris, which sued the authorities in Australia and Uruguay over plain cigarette packaging.
According to Mr Waldstein, the new ICS courts will "protect" - not undermine - governments' right to regulate.
Germany's DRB - representing 16,000 judges and prosecutors - said (in German) that "creating special courts for certain groups of litigants" would be a mistake.
The proposed ICS would limit the legal powers of EU member states and change national court systems, the DRB statement said.
The Commission's proposal would mean ICS jurisdiction that "extends from civil law through to general administrative law and social and tax legislation", the judges complained.
They also questioned the legal criteria for appointing judges to the ICS courts, saying specialists in trade disputes would have an unfair advantage.
Nearly 3.3 million people have signed an online petition against the proposed trade deal, on the Stop TTIP website.
The Commission and many politicians argue that TTIP would bring major benefits for the US and Europe, creating new jobs and business opportunities.
A study by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) estimated the potential gains for the EU as up to €119bn (£91.5bn; $133bn) a year and €95bn for the US. | German judges have objected to a new court system for investors to sue governments, which would be set up as part of an EU-US trade deal. |
Please summarize the given passage. | Being in the EU has drawn investment to the UK, boosted the productivity of workers, and enhanced the ability of our economy to create jobs and new businesses.
In that sense, although the Bank does not use these precise words, EU membership has made the UK richer and more successful.
That will be seized on by supporters of the UK staying in.
Even so, there is ammunition for eurosceptics - namely that our financial openness made the UK more vulnerable to the eurozone's crisis, and that not all EU regulation suits the size and complexity of the City of London.
The Bank is for example an opponent of the EU imposed cap on bonuses, because it sees the cap as weakening the link between what bankers are paid and the risks they take.
More than that, the Bank is concerned that future integration of the euro area, deemed to be essential for the sustainability of the euro, could lead the EU to devise laws and rules that are against the interests of the UK.
So it implicitly supports the attempt of the Chancellor, George Osborne, to obtain guarantees from Brussels that the UK will be protected if euro members gang up to force through legislation that suits them but not us.
Or to put it another way, the Bank of England, which prides itself on its independence, may not be seen to be clinically independent in its assessment of the impact on its ability to fulfil its mandate - of controlling inflation and preventing major financial shocks - by those ideologically opposed to the UK being in the EU.
Because on the one hand the Bank makes it clear that being in the EU has made us richer. And the Bank will be seen as supporting the thrust of much of the government's negotiations to improve the terms of the UK's membership.
So what I said this morning, that the out campaigners would be happier with the thrust of the Bank's review than those who want to stay in, is wrong (I think).
There is no suggestion by the Bank, as I said, that the Bank could not do its job perfectly adequately if the UK were to leave the EU. But there is an unambiguous implication that EU membership makes its job easier. | Membership of the European Union has made the UK a more open and dynamic economy, the Bank of England has concluded in a 100-page review of the impact on it of EU membership. |

Write a summary of this document. | David Cameron says he hopes to govern for all of the UK after the Conservatives took 331 seats - enough to form a slender majority in the Commons.
Labour has been all but wiped out by the SNP in Scotland and suffered a disappointing set of results elsewhere, while the Lib Dems are left with just eight MPs after many party heavyweights such as Vince Cable and Danny Alexander lost their seats.
So with battles won and lost and the fall-out and celebrations beginning, BBC correspondents examine the implications and challenges that lie ahead for the new government - and for those whose political careers have been ended by voters.
No pollster, no pundit, no political leader saw it coming - not even David Cameron himself.
Governing parties don't gain seats. Parties that have implemented painful cuts and are promising more certainly don't. Until that is the Conservative Party did - achieving what had seemed to be Mission Impossible - a Tory majority.
Until that is David Cameron's personal triumph which triggered the near simultaneous resignation of his three principle opponents - Messrs Miliband, Clegg and Farage.
They did so in part because they helped to crush their partners in coalition these last five years - reducing the Liberal Democrat parliamentary party to a size when it can fit into two London taxis and still have two seats to spare.
In part because the extraordinary tidal wave of support for the SNP swept dozens of once safe Labour seats away.
In part because Nigel Farage persuaded millions to vote for him but secured just one seat - not, though, the one he was standing in.

The question uppermost in the prime minister's mind as he assembles his new government is how to keep the kingdom united.
"Above all I want to bring our country together," he revealed after the result, "to reclaim a mantle we should never have lost - the mantle of one nation, one United Kingdom".
Looking at the political landscape from Land's End today is very different to the view from John O'Groats.
A sea of Conservative and Unionist blue dominates the scene across much of England, while a field of SNP nationalist yellow stretches to the horizon and beyond from the north.
David Cameron's greatest challenge is to prevent the union he supports being torn apart by mutual resentment - resentment from Scotland at a Westminster government dominated by English Tories, and resentment from England at the preferential treatment people think is being given to the Scots.
Those who assumed the future of the Union had been safeguarded by the Scottish referendum must think again.

One thing is rock-solid true: the Conservatives who worked on this campaign are as surprised by the result as the pollsters, pundits, politicians and general population.
Maybe they shouldn't be - the economy is in good shape and the Conservatives had incumbency advantage.
But when I travelled back from the prime minister's last rally with a group of exhausted Conservative campaign officials it was clear that 290 seats was a hoped-for target.
No-one talked about anything over 300 seats, and no-one even mentioned an overall majority.
So what special sauce pushed David Cameron into No 10 with a Commons majority?
Mr Cameron had two simple messages in the campaign and he rarely veered away from them; the first - the economy is in good shape and the recovery is threatened by Labour. And the second - the SNP would hold a Labour-led government to ransom.

Brian Taylor, BBC political editor, Scotland
Of all the comments on the overnight apocalypse, undoubtedly the most straightforward came from a defeated Scottish Labour MP.
Since there were quite a few of them, let me narrow the focus a little. Come on down, Tom Harris.
Mr Harris had plainly anticipated defeat. Nonetheless, he looked suitably lugubrious as his fate was confirmed.
Why, he was asked eagerly, had Labour lost? "Because we did not win enough votes."
Psephologically, it is perfect. Complete in itself. Psychologically, it sums up Labour's gloom without descending into subsidiary matters such as leadership, strategy and the rest. As a forward-thinking strategy, it is ideal. Win more votes. Simple.

This has been an election which may have more profound consequences than almost any in living memory.
We now face a generational decision about our future in Europe, with an EU referendum in two years' time almost certain.
There will also be serious questions about the future of the Union, following an SNP landslide that has turned Scotland into a virtual one-party state.
David Cameron's victory also represents a colossal achievement.
Only once before in recent history has an incumbent government increased its majority - and that was Mrs Thatcher in her prime in the 1980s.
It is also a significant personal victory for Mr Cameron and a rebuff for those in his party who had become increasingly sceptical about his ability to win.
But while it may represent a defeat for those Tories who saw this election as a potential opportunity to rid themselves of David Cameron, he must now govern with a wafer-thin majority.
For the SNP, their stunning victory can only increase the pressure on Nicola Sturgeon to include a commitment to a second independence referendum in her party's manifesto for next year's Scottish elections.
It is an election which has not just defied all the predictions of the pollsters and pundits - but which may yet prompt the most fundamental re-casting of British politics for a generation.

Is this the end of the union?
That is the question many people will be asking this morning after the party which has fought for Scottish independence for 80 years swept to victory.
The answer from the jubilant Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon is a firm "No".
She insists that her MPs will speak for all of Scotland, not just for the 45% who voted for the country to leave the United Kingdom last September.
In the closing hours of the most extraordinary election campaign which anyone in Scotland can remember, Ms Sturgeon turned to talk of "legitimacy."
That will be her watchword in the coming days as she argues that the prime minister cannot ignore the democratic will of the Scottish people.
Politically, Scotland and England this morning look and feel like very different countries.

David Cameron will be continuing as our prime minister.
So, what is all this likely to mean?
A referendum on whether the UK stays in, or leaves, the European Union, within the next two-and-a-half years.
A race to be the next leader of the Labour Party.
A race to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats.
And a huge new presence of Scottish National Party MPs at Westminster.
And so here's another thing we know for certain this morning: Politics ain't going to be boring any time soon.

For Labour the story of their terrible night is rapidly turning into the search for a new leader. So who will that be?
Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, is almost certain to run.
Even before this election, both he and another almost inevitable candidate, Chuka Umunna, had raised eyebrows inside the party at the work they had put in, preparing the ground with members and the unions for potential bids.
Yvette Cooper, before the election, was still thought not to have made up her mind over whether to run. That decision has been made perhaps a little easier as her husband, Ed Balls, has lost his seat.
She is certainly potentially in the frame, along with two lesser known names - Liz Kendall and Dan Jarvis - two MPs who were only elected in 2010 for the first time.
This could be their moment. But whoever is in the job, they face a monumental task.

Sterling is up (the most for seven years against the euro), share prices are up (especially bank shares like Lloyds and RBS, and energy shares such as Centrica), government bond prices are up.
To state the obvious, investors love the Tories' general election victory.
There are a few reasons.
One (no surprise here) is that Labour's threat of breaking up banks and imposing energy price caps has been lifted.
Second is that investors have been discounting days and weeks of wrangling after polling day over who would form the government - and so they are semi-euphoric that we already know who's in charge.
Third, many investors tend to be economically conservative and instinctively Conservative.
But although the City may be a bit drunk on the result, its pleasure in Ed Miliband's and Ed Balls' humiliation may be making it a bit blind - perhaps dangerously so - to some bumps in the economic road ahead.

Nigel Farage dreamed of holding the balance of power, but in the end his UKIP party is now worse off than when it came into the election.
At the seventh time of asking he was rejected - this time by the people of Thanet South. It was a similar story in Rochester and Strood where Mark Reckless, who sensationally defected from the Tories last year, was also sent packing.
In seats on UKIP's target list, like Thurrock in Essex, the party failed to make gains. In Grimsby - where Mr Farage went twice in the last six weeks - they came third.
UKIP got around four million votes - with especially strong showings in north-east and south-east England - but it's ended up with just one MP, and a vacancy at the top. This has led to UKIP attacking the current system of choosing MPs, which it's described as "busted" and "dysfunctional".
In one sense, this campaign was a complete failure and it's left an aftermath of angry voters, and others wondering if the UKIP bubble has burst.

I monitored 91 GB-wide voting intention polls during the 2015 election campaign and found nothing in them to prepare me for the final outcome.
The good news for the pollsters was that their share for the Lib Dems was pretty close, as were the shares for UKIP, the Greens and the catch-all category of Others.
The bad news for the polling industry was that the crucial shares for Conservative and Labour were the ones where they came most adrift.
When all the qualifications of margins of error are allowed, there did appear to be a systematic overstatement of the Labour share and an equally systematic understatement of the Conservative one.
It is for the pollsters to decide whether to conduct a review of their performance but I trust they will avoid the initial knee-jerk reaction of the immediate aftermath of the 1992 polls debacle.
This general election performance follows the performance of the polls in the 2014 Scottish referendum where the choice was simply binary and yet all the polls were out by between 4-6%.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | The home side, eight points adrift of seventh-placed Warwickshire at the start of play, reached 370-6 after an uncontested toss at the Ageas Bowl.
Captain James Vince (92) and Will Smith (90) led the way with support from Jimmy Adams (53) and Sean Ervine (50).
All-rounder Liam Dawson finished unbeaten on 47 as Ryan Pringle was the pick of Durham's bowlers with 3-153.
For the second successive season, Hampshire are bidding to survive relegation to Division Two, and know they are unlikely to do so if they fail to beat Durham who are already safe.
The hosts need 30 more runs from 13 overs to take maximum batting points, but their fate also depends on the result of Warwickshire's game with Lancashire at Edgbaston - where the hosts were bowled out for 219 on day one.
Adams and ex-Durham skipper Smith got Hampshire off to a perfect start by putting on 111 for the first wicket before Adams fell three overs before lunch, playing on to Scott Borthwick.
The hosts' progress continued after tea as they added 151 runs for the loss of Tom Alsop and Smith, with Vince and Smith sharing a third-wicket stand of 102.
Vince raced to his half-century in just 48 balls and the Hampshire captain, dropped from England's Test squad to tour Bangladesh, appeared set for a second Championship century of the season before he was run out by England's Ben Stokes.
Ervine then passed 50 for the fifth time in six innings and 1,000 County Championship runs for the season before he edged Pringle to Paul Collingwood.
Hampshire batsman Will Smith told BBC Radio Solent:
"I think it's a good day, we would've batted first as well. I think it's a wicket where it's probably not going to get any better.
"We feel getting as many runs first up is a good thing, so 370 at the end of day one is good. We've scored a a decent rate, which is good for the bonus points.
"If we can squeeze another 30 runs out in the next 13 overs, then we'll have done really well.
"All we can do is try and get as many points out of this game. We'll do that and see what unfolds up at Edgbaston.
"We're setting out to win this game and with four days of good weather, we can get into a good position to do that."
Durham bowler Ryan Pringle told BBC Newcastle:
"Paul Collingwood decided he wanted to bowl and with the overhead conditions early on, it was probably the right decision.
"I think we were unlucky not to have them a couple down early on and it's a strange wicket as well. If we could have got them two or three down early, we could have made real inroads.
"They pressed on and it looks pretty difficult to get in on, but it should be an interesting three days to come.
"I was pretty expensive, but it's a learning curve with 30-odd overs in the day. They were pretty aggressive from ball one, but we were trying to take wickets all day." | Hampshire built a strong first-innings total against Durham to boost their chances of Division One survival. |

The military takeover has infuriated opposition groups, who called a mass rally on Sunday against the army's "confiscation" of the uprising.
"The victory born from this popular uprising belongs to the people, and the task of managing the transition falls by right to the people," the groups said in a statement.
By early afternoon, thousands had turned out to protest in Ouagadougou's National Square, where one million had gathered earlier in the week to demand Mr Compaore's resignation.
On a makeshift stage in front of the crowd, one protester shouted into a microphone: "We are going to stay here. We are not going to move unless the military leave power."
Other protesters accused the military of being in league with Mr Compaore.
Elsewhere in Ouagadougou, witnesses reported hearing gunfire at the headquarters of state TV.
An unconfirmed report by the AFP news agency claimed that soldiers fired in the air to disperse protesters before seizing control of the building.
Meanwhile, the AU, UN, the US and regional economic bloc Ecowas all condemned the military takeover.
"We hope there will be a transition led by a civilian and in keeping with the constitutional order," Mr Chambas said.
"If not, the consequences are pretty clear. We want to avoid having to impose sanctions on Burkina Faso."
AU chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma urged the military to "refrain from any acts or statements that may lead to further instability".
The US state department urged an immediate transfer of power to civilian authorities and a move towards free and fair presidential elections.
The army has quickly stepped in to fill the power vacuum, declaring Lt Col Isaac Zida the nation's transitional leader.
Col Zida was second-in-command of the presidential guard, and his selection apparently came after a power struggle with the overall army chief, Gen Honore Traore.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The Scots meet Gibraltar in Perth in the five-a-side version of the game, which is credited with cultivating the intricate skills of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
The game is growing in popularity in this country and national coach Mark Potter is hopeful it can benefit the wider Scottish game.
"The ultimate aim would be to develop players who can make Scottish football clubs more successful in Europe," Potter told BBC Scotland.
A key difference between futsal, which originated in Uruguay in the 1930s, and the brand of five-a-side traditionally played in Scotland is the smaller, heavier ball used, which helps players master control and touch.
"I think the player development and the skill levels required provide a good synergy with the outdoor game, especially now when the entertainment levels expected of the top players are higher than they used to be," added Potter.
"Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and Ronaldo have all attributed their skills to playing futsal as youngsters. Brazil have many thousands of players who don't play any football until 15, 16 - they grow up playing futsal - and Brazil are recognised as producing some of the most skilful players in the world.
"There's no reason to suggest a programme that starts now couldn't produce world-class skill in 10, 15, 20 years - there's no question this is not going to be an overnight fix or that futsal is the panacea for all things that ail the sport.
"If it can help and produce one player then perhaps it's worth pursuing."
The national futsal team, which was only formed last year, now comes under the Scottish Football Association's Performance umbrella, headed by Brian McClair.
That, according to Potter, "would suggest the performance department sees futsal as having its own niche. By providing an aspirational forum for young players to grow into, hopefully we attract more people to the sport.
"If they can come and learn skills that make them more rounded football players and they can play for the 11-a-side team, that would be the ultimate aim."
Almost 700 adults play in six futsal leagues across the country, while the first internationals were played last year in the preliminary round for futsal's own version of Euro 2016.
The fledgling Scots team were beaten 13-0 by Sweden and 6-1 by both Israel and Armenia and while Gibraltar are footballing minnows, Potter warns they are "considerably ahead of us" in futsal terms.
"They've been playing futsal for a lot longer than we have in Scotland. The vast majority of the squad will play in the lower leagues in Spain and are therefore a considerable challenge," he added.
"We go to the next European Championship preliminary round in January 2017. We need to play games, we need to develop the squad and allow them to play against better opposition."
The squad, which features the former Hibernian player Ross Chisholm and Scott Chaplain, the ex-Albion Rovers midfielder, takes on Gibraltar on Wednesday and Thursday evening at the Bells Sports Centre in Perth.

Write a summary of this document. | Writing in the Daily Mail, Col Richard Kemp and John Weigold claim an underground site near the main town of St Anne was being prepared to launch a chemical weapons attack on England's south coast.
Trevor Davenport, author of Festung Alderney, a book on German defences on the island, described the claim as "utter nonsense."
He said: "There are of course many things we do not know, that is accepted, it's always been accepted, it was quite secret. But some of the things they say were not possible."
Col Kemp and Mr Weigold claim that a tunnel site, which was previously thought to be used for generating electricity, was used to develop and launch V1 missiles.
The weapons were created by the Germans to launch attacks on England from the continent, with sites located not far from Alderney in Cherbourg.
Col Kemp believes the Alderney site was also used to develop these missiles into chemical weapons, primarily because of the secrecy afforded by the island, which was almost entirely evacuated prior to its occupation in 1940.
"We came to the conclusion, with other factors, that this is why they were sited in Alderney, because you could construct and prepare V1's with nerve agent warheads on them, which you could do in total secrecy given the unique circumstances of Alderney, there was no possibility of anyone discovering it," he said.
Col Kemp believes he has also identified two launch ramps for the rockets, which "both point at the centre of mass of target sites on the south coast of England, which it is known the V1 sites in northern France were also aimed at."
Alderney Occupation
The apparent need to develop the weapon in Alderney, given the proximity of the sites nearby in France, has puzzled Festung author, Trevor Davenport.
He said: "There were V1 sites in Cherbourg, why try and ship stuff over to Alderney when they could build on the mainland? It was just as close.
"There were none in Alderney, there never were, they were never picked up on in aerial photographs at all."
The military authors also claim up to 70,000 people could have been killed on the island, which housed four forced labour sites, including the only concentration camp on British soil.
The number of prisoners that died in the Island has never been fully uncovered.
Maj Theodore Pantcheff - the official military intelligence interrogator who investigated after the war - recorded that at least 389 forced labourers and prisoners as dying in Alderney.
Israeli journalist Solomon Steckoll previously estimated four thousand deaths on the island, based on eye-witness testimony and his own research in the 1980s.
Last year, heritage group The National Anglo-Jewish Heritage Trail (JTrails) expressed concern war graves in Alderney could be disturbed by a £500m cross-Channel electricity link. Initial drilling for the France Alderney Britain Link, an undersea cable, has taken place in Alderney, but progress has stalled due to environmental concerns and local opposition to the project.
Alderney's top politician James Dent said he didn't want to comment on the truth, or otherwise, of the military authors' claims.
He said it would be a "very opportune" time for the British government to release "all remaining wartime files pertaining to Alderney, and for the German government to do the same."

Summarize the content provided below. | Ivan da Silva Martins played a small part as a gang member in the film.
He is now 34 and is thought to control drug trafficking in the Vidigal favela.
The film was released in Brazil in 2002, exposing to the rest of the world the bitter reality of crime, violence and poverty in Rio's favelas.
Mr Martins was one of many boys and teenagers recruited from the city's poorest quarters to work as actors in the film.
He is now believed to be feared by the Vidigal community where police says he is known as Ivan the Terrible.
City of God director Fernando Meirelles said he had gradually lost contact with all the young actors, but told O Globo newspaper that he was "saddened by the news".
The film begins in the early 1960s and follows the life of a young boy who becomes a drug lord in Cidade de Deus (City of God), a favela in the outskirts of Rio.
It became a surprise blockbuster and received four Oscar nominations.
Fifteen years later, violence is again on the rise in Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro.
The policeman shot dead on Sunday, Sgt Hudson Araujo, was the 91st officer killed this year in the state of Rio.
Brazil is now going through the worst recession in its history.
The finances of many states, including Rio, have collapsed and there is no prospect of a solution for Brazil's serious political crisis.
The families of police officers say their loved ones are paying a heavy price for trying to fight crime without the resources and equipment required.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | A number of businesses suspected of selling counterfeit goods were raided on Moulton Street, Strangeways, on 13 and 16 December.
The items seized included fake Louis Vuitton, Prada and Vivienne Westwood handbags, Nike trainers and Adidas and Converse tracksuits.
Counterfeit jewellery was also seized.
The items seized in the raids, conducted by Greater Manchester Police and Trading Standards officers, filled two 40ft (12m) containers.
The raids follow similar ones in November when goods worth an estimated £1m were seized, Manchester City Council said.
Manchester's Cheetham Hill, near where the most recent raids took place, has been nicknamed "Counterfeit Street" because of the widespread sale of fake goods there.
Intellectual Property Minister Baroness Neville-Rolfe described it as "almost like the counterfeit capital of the UK".
The move is part of a plan to prevent unconscious bias against candidates from minority groups, said Mr Cameron, writing in the Guardian newspaper.
Other measures against discrimination include a pledge by leading graduate employers to name-blind recruitment, the Prime Minister has announced.
The admissions body UCAS said it was keen to boost minority student numbers.
The prime minister set out the measures at a Downing Street round table on Monday.
Leading graduate employers from across the public and private sector have committed to keeping candidates' names off graduate recruitment applications, says Downing Street.
These include the Civil Service, Teach First, the BBC, NHS and local government as well as top city names such as HSBC, Virgin Money, KPMG and Deloitte.
Together they are responsible for employing 1.8m people in the UK.
"I said in my conference speech that I want us to end discrimination and finish the fight for real equality in our country today," said Mr Cameron. "Today we are delivering on that commitment and extending opportunity to all.
"If you've got the grades, the skills and the determination this government will ensure that you can succeed."
The discussions at Downing Street will include representatives from leading financial employers as well as the Civil Service, BBC and NHS.
Civil Service chief executive John Manzoni said it was "vital" for his organisation to take the lead.
"I'm confident that this important step will help us build an organisation that is even more talented, diverse and effective than it is today," he explained.
The financial services firm Deloitte recently became one of a number of leading firms to change its selection process so that recruiters do not know where candidates went to school or university, in a bid to ensure a diverse talent pool which reflects the make-up of society.
Chief Executive David Sproul said name-blind applications would, in addition, help "ensure that job offers are made on the basis of potential, not ethnicity, gender or past personal circumstance".
UCAS chief executive, Mary Curnock Cook, said it would consult with degree-awarding institutions on name-blind applications "as well as a wider range of changes which could impact applications from black and ethnic minority students".
She added: "UCAS is deeply committed to increasing participation from disadvantaged groups."
The admissions body said its own research helped it identify issues of under-representation at UK universities and colleges.
A study of 2008 admissions data by the London School of Economics suggested ethnic minority students were less likely to get university offers - but UCAS says the proportion of ethnic minority students applying to university has risen since then.
Its analysis of the 2014 admissions cycle showed university entry rates for 18-year-olds in minority groups outstripped those for white teenagers.
Among white 18-year-olds some 27.2% entered university in 2014, compared with 38.7% of Asians and 34.3% of black teenagers, the document suggests. | Counterfeit goods with an estimated street value of more than £2m, including one shop's entire stock, have been seized in raids in Manchester.

Summarize the information given below. | Mr Farage, who worked in finance before politics, told an audience in the City that women make "different choices" to men for "biological reasons".
Those taking time off to have children were less valuable to employers on their return, he said.
But discrimination against women in the City was a thing of the past, he added.
Brokers are "as valuable as the client base that sticks with you and will move with you", he explained.
"In many, many cases, women make different choices in life to the ones that men make simply for biological reasons," he said.
"If a woman has a client base and has a child and takes two or three years off work, she is worth far less to the employer when she comes back than when she goes away because her client base cannot be stuck rigidly to her."
When he first started work in the City, it was a "deeply sexist" place, he added.
"I don't believe that in the big banks and brokerage houses and Lloyds of London and everyone else in the City, I do not believe there is any discrimination against women at all.
"I think that young, able women who are prepared to sacrifice the family life and stick with their careers do as well, if not better, than men."
Mr Farage elaborated on BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "People who bring in commission business are people who've worked very closely with clients, over years and years and years.
"If you have children and take nine months, or a year, or maybe more off, you tend to lose some of that business.
"I think the reality for women in the City is that if they have children, it has a very detrimental effect on their future pay prospects."
He was asked whether it should it be this way.
"I can't change biology," he replied.

Summarize this article briefly. | Polish-born people represent Wales' largest migrant group during the decade up to 2011.
The figures from Oxford University's Migration Observatory showed the number of migrants living in Wales has soared in recent years.
The population of Wales in 2011 was 3,063,456, with about 167,871 of those born outside the UK.
Merthyr Tydfil saw its migrant population rocket by 227% during the 10 years to 2011 - from just 807 non-UK residents in 2001 to 2,641 by 2011.
Senior researcher Dr Carlos Vargas-Silva said: "The biggest change has been the increase in the Polish-born population, which increased more than twenty-fold, becoming the biggest migrant group in Wales.
"This has been particularly apparent in Merthyr Tydfil which saw the second largest percentage increase in its migrant population of anywhere in Great Britain."
Wrexham, Swansea and Newport saw their migrant populations more than double in the same period.
Cardiff had Wales' highest migrant population at 45,967 - an increase of 99% during the 10 years under scrutiny, while Blaenau Gwent had Wales' smallest foreign-born population at just 1,502.
According to the report 95% of Polish-born migrants in Wales have arrived since 2001. By 2011 there were 18,023 Polish-born residents, while 10 years previously there were 1,427.
Jolanta Atkinson, chair of the Anglo-Polish Society for Chester and North Wales, has lived in Wales for 40 years.
She said: "When I first came to Bangor, all those years ago, I was the only Polish person. Now it's a very big community.
"I can see the difference over the last 10 years, where people can speak English now and they send their children to the local school, and they are helping the economy by working and paying taxes.
"The majority are young people who are willing to work hard and bring up their families in Wales."
She said the chance of greater opportunities for work was the main reason for people wanting to live in Wales.
She added: "Wales is very welcoming and I know people who have praised it as a fabulous country, and they really mean it.
"I'm Polish, my husband is English, but my two children are definitely Welsh."
The number of Welsh residents born in Ireland was 12,175 in 2011, while 11,874 were born in India.
While Wales saw its migrant population increase more than England and Northern Ireland it still had the smallest proportion of migrants of all the UK nations.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Just five of the animals remain on the planet, after two adult males died within months of each other at the end of 2014.
At a meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, on Tuesday, conservationists decided to harvest eggs from the remaining females.
The eggs will be stored with a view to being used for IVF in the future.
While offering some hope for the rhino sub-species, it also underlines the dire prospects for the last animals.
The eggs will join frozen northern white rhino sperm already stored at an institute in Berlin, Germany.
Experts say IVF will only be attempted after techniques improve, but have set no expected timeframe for this.
After harvesting the oocytes (immature egg cells), experts will "wait for a time when the IVF techniques will be developed and tested enough to give us a reasonable chance that usage of (northern white rhino) samples would lead to a successful embryo transfer", said Jan Stejskal, from the Dvur Kralove zoo in the Czech Republic, which owns the last animals.
He told BBC News: "This still needs to be carefully discussed with the experts in the field, but in general we can say we decided to do a first step towards IVF."
Analysis
By David Shukman, Science Editor
The grim truth that few want to discuss too openly is that extinction is now the likeliest outcome for the northern white rhino.
The most successful conservation schemes with other animals have all involved larger bands of survivors.
Once the numbers dwindle into single figures there are fewer options, fewer chances of any kind of assisted reproduction and a greater risk of in-breeding.
For those involved in caring for the last five, these are painful times. At Dvur Kralove zoo in the Czech Republic, which owns the animals and houses one of them, a female called Nabire, the keepers are devoted to her, and she appears relaxed with them.
And this raises the question of how best to be humane: the sedations and interventions all carry risk. When we broadcast a story about the plight of the northern whites earlier this month, many people told me they believed the animals should be left in peace, that it was kinder for nature to take its course.
If that is the outcome it will make conservationists all the more determined to save other species under threat.
Many of the remaining animals are of advanced age, and by the time IVF becomes possible, scientists might have to implant an embryo in a surrogate female from the northern white's close relative, the southern white rhino.
Mr Stejskal said there was no current plan to use artificial insemination as a strategy. This had previously been a theoretical possibility for one of the animals, Naijin, which lives at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
2014 turned out to be an annus horribilis for the sub-species. On 17 October, a 34-year-old male called Suni died of a suspected heart attack at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
Then, on 14 December, Angalifu, a 44-year-old male living at San Diego Zoo in the US also passed away.
The last remaining male is 43 years old - elderly by rhino standards - and is considered incapable of mating on his own.
Experts have already taken the first steps towards harvesting eggs from Nabire, a 31-year-old female living at the Dvur Kralove Zoo. But the procedure in October last year had to be stopped out of concern for the health of the animal. But the scientists could resume the effort at some point soon.

Please summarize the passage below. | Following in the footsteps of Basil, his grandfather, and father Damian, D'Oliveira made 128, sharing an opening stand of 179 with Daryl Mitchell (66).
The hosts ended on 226-5 after a Graham Napier-sparked late clatter of wickets.
Earlier, Joe Leach took five wickets as Essex declared on 451-9, England Test captain Alastair Cook finishing on 142.
Resuming on 335-2 after two days of rain interruptions and runs, it was suddenly hard work for the batsmen on a breezy morning at New Road.
At one point, Worcestershire vice-captain Leach took four wickets in 23 balls, including a superb one-handed return catch moving to his right to remove Cook who received a standing ovation for his 284-ball innings.
He struck one six, off England team-mate Moeen Ali, and 22 fours in making his third Championship hundred of the campaign.
After he had gone, ex-skipper James Foster's 42-ball half century steered Essex past the 400 mark in the 109th over to ensure maximum batting bonus points.
But, after taking five wickets for 56, including England's Moeen cheaply for eight, the Division Two leaders will have to take 15 more on the final day if they are to pick up their third win in four matches.
Brett D'Oliveira told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"My first thought after reaching 100 was 'yes I've done it'. Obviously my dad is never too far away from my thoughts.
"It is amazing to get the first Championship century but it means nothing if we get nothing out of this game now.
"It was nice with the new ball because the ball came onto the bat easier but as it got older it was tougher to score. I'd like to think I cashed in on the bad balls.
"You are always nervous when you get into the 90s but I just kept my head down and got through it. And it was good to bat with Mitch as he got me through some tough times out there.
Essex head coach Chris Silverwood:
"I was delighted with the way the boys fought back in the final session.
"We certainly did not have the second session of play. They batted very well. Our bowling wasn't at its best.
"But the way we responded in the last session showed our character and it could still be an interesting final day."
Jan Tipper and Barb Burden were married at the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) on Sunday.
Gay marriage became legal in England and Wales last month but the move was not supported by the Church of England.
Reverend Dwayne Morgan, who officiated, said the church had "taken pride in celebrating diversity".
While many same-sex couples have married since the law changed on 29 March, he said this was the first ceremony to be conducted in a religious building.
The couple said it was "very significant" to them to be married in the church they had attended for 15 years.
Ms Burden said: "Even though we've been together for almost 19 years, it didn't feel right for us to have just a blessing or even a civil partnership.
"We've hoped for years for the opportunity to legally marry and, once it became possible, we knew it was time for us to tie the knot and to do it before God in our church with our friends and family."
MCC was established in Bournemouth in 1979 and is associated with the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, which has churches in over 40 countries.
Mr Morgan said the government had "finally caught up with us" as the church had been blessing gay couples for more than three decades.
He said: "Through years of homophobia and oppressive laws against gay people, MCC has taken pride in celebrating diversity and striving to include everyone. We do our best to get the word out that while many of Jesus's followers discriminate, Jesus himself does not."

But it called for renegotiation of Safe Harbour to be swift.
"Many European nations are currently considering amendments to their surveillance laws. Rather than just expand governments' surveillance authority as some are seeking to do, the focus should be on striking the right balance between security and privacy without sacrificing one for the other."
The Internet Association represents some of the biggest players in Silicon Valley and beyond, including Twitter, Google, Facebook, Netflix and Uber.
The association's president Michael Beckerman said in a statement that while bigger firms have back-up agreements in place to transfer data, it's small US firms that could struggle.
"In light of this far reaching European Court of Justice ruling, the Internet Association calls on the US and EU to join forces to implement a revised Safe Harbour framework and to issue interim guidance to stakeholders pending this implementation."
Talks between the US and EU about an updated agreement - dubbed Safe Harbour 2.0 - have been ongoing for around two years, but could be sped up by these recent developments.
Salesforce, which offers customer relationship management software (everything from sales to marketing to customer analytics), said it was making changes to its service in the wake of the ruling.
"Salesforce is immediately making available a data processing addendum that incorporates the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, commonly referred to as 'model clauses'."
The travel start-up, which allows people to rent out their rooms and properties, told the BBC it wasn't particularly fussed: "Like other European companies, Airbnb relies on other safe and legal mechanisms for essential data transfers.
"This ruling does not have a significant impact on us."
Facebook too said it was unaffected practically by the ruling, but urged sensible reforms.
"Facebook, like many thousands of European companies, relies on a number of the methods prescribed by EU law to legally transfer data to the US from Europe, aside from Safe Harbour," said the social network in a statement.
"It is imperative that EU and US governments ensure that they continue to provide reliable methods for lawful data transfers and resolve any issues relating to national security."
Online storage provider Box told the BBC it wasn't affected as it had other measures in place.
"Box does not anticipate any impact based on today's ruling by the European Court of Justice (EJC) regarding the EU-US Safe Harbor Framework," it told the BBC.
"In anticipation of the ruling, we've undertaken efforts to adhere to the alternative methods for meeting the 'adequate protection' requirements."
Github, a site where programmers share source code, is having to take action to make sure it is compliant in the wake of the ruling.
"GitHub is committed to ensuring that our community of 11 million developers all over the world can collaborate together on software, with confidence that their privacy is protected," the site told the BBC in an email.
"We will take the necessary steps to ensure that our European users can continue to build great things on GitHub."
Autodesk is a company with huge reach - it develops systems for 3D design, education, engineering and entertainment. Much of it is handled in the cloud.
"Autodesk is currently evaluating the impact to our business of the European Court of Justice's decision on the EU-US Safe Harbour Framework and awaits additional guidance," the firm told the BBC.
"We continue to comply with the previous Safe Harbour principles, and are committed to supporting our customers through any changes required as a result of this decision as well as protecting the privacy of our customers and employees."

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Caroline Glachan, 14, was found dead on the banks of the River Leven in Dunbartonshire on 25 August 1996, about a mile from her Renton home.
Her killer has never been found, and police are now re-examining evidence from the initial investigation.
Caroline's mother Margaret McKeich said she wanted answers to "who and why?"
Speaking at a news conference in Bonhill, close to where her daughter died, 60-year-old Mrs McKeich said: "I've been here before and it's 20 years down the line. What can I say that I haven't said before? What can I do that I've not done before?
"It's things like this but I'm a wee bit more hopeful than I've been for a long time.
"I also believe the public have a part to play in this as well and I'd urge anybody to come forward just to give me that peace, just to let Caroline rest in peace and to give me closure because there are two questions I need to answer - who and why?"
Despite numerous appeals before no-one has been arrested over Caroline's death.
Mrs McKeich has previously said she believes her daughter knew her killer.
She urged anyone who might have information about her daughter's death to "Take a look back, and have a think back, and take a look in the mirror and look to your conscience.
"Twenty years has passed and it's a fair amount of time, but for me it's just yesterday.
"I think 20 years is long enough. Just let this year be the last year, the last time."
Mrs McKeich was joined at the news conference by Caroline's friend, Joanne Menzies, who was one of the last people to have seen her alive.
She urged those "shielding" the killer to come forward.
Ms Menzies said: "There's people who know who done it, who are shielding whoever done it, and I would ask these people to come forward now."
The appeal was held as Police Scotland's Homicide Governance and Review team begins a fresh investigation into Caroline's death.
Forensic scientists are now re-examining more than 300 items collected at the time of her death on the River Leven towpath.
Police have also re-appealed for help in tracing a man in a hooded top who was seen standing about 30 yards from Caroline as she walked along Dillichip Loan at about 00:15 on the night of her murder.
Someone fitting the man's description was spotted about half an hour later running down the main street of Alexandria in West Dunbartonshire with another male.
At the news conference, Det Supt Jim Kerr appealed to the local community to break the "wall of silence" surrounding Caroline's murder.
He urged the man in the hooded top to get in contact as he was "probably the last person to see Caroline alive".
The detective added: "There's people in this community that know exactly happened. I feel as if it's a black cloud over Renton and Bonhill and we need to get it lifted."
He also revealed that a fresh appeal would be aired next Monday on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.
Part of the fresh investigation will also involve modern DNA tests being applied to the case.
Amanda Pirie, lead forensic scientist with the Scottish Police Authority, said new DNA profiling tests could get results from samples which experts were previously unable to interpret.
She said samples could also be lifted from evidence that had been immersed in water.
Ms Pirie added: "All of this combined will enable the cold case team potentially to recover and detect trace amounts of DNA which will hopefully enable us to identify individuals with whom, for instance, Caroline Glachan may have been in contact at, or around, the time of her death."

What is the summary of the following document? | Sampson was absolved of wrongdoing after striker Eniola Aluko made a complaint to the Football Association (FA) about "bullying and harassment".
She claimed Sampson said an unnamed player would have been arrested several times because she was of mixed race.
But the FA said an independent report found no evidence to support that.
On Thursday, the governing body published a summary of the report's findings - in the form of a letter to Chelsea player Aluko - written by the barrister who conducted the review.
Katharine Newton wrote that she was "sure", having seen video evidence of the team meeting at which Aluko claimed the alleged racial abuse took place, that "at no point on that video is the alleged comment made".
Newton's letter to Aluko also states that:
Media playback is not supported on this device
Allegations made by Aluko include her being described as "lazy", Sampson belittling her in front of the squad, and what she said are "false claims" by the coach of "bad behaviour".
In a statement released by the FA on Thursday, 34-year-old Sampson said he "fully understood and welcomed the need for an internal review".
He added: "It's incredibly important that matters like this are taken extremely seriously and investigated in the right way - with the right level of sensitivity and support for all involved.
"The barrister's final report said there was no case to answer and noted that my approach to all players is the same regardless of their background.
"I also appreciated that the report highlighted areas where I could improve my general communication style, and that is something I have taken on board and looked to improve."
Aluko, who has scored 33 goals in 102 England appearances, received about £80,000 in a settlement with the FA.
The governing body described it as "a mutual resolution" to avoid disrupting the England squad's preparations for Women's Euro 2017, which ended in a semi-final defeat by the Netherlands.
Since making the complaint, Aluko has not been picked for England and last played for her country in April 2016, despite being the Women's Super League One top scorer the same year.
However, she still remains a centrally contracted player on a deal worth about £30,000 a year.
A qualified lawyer, Aluko was part of the England team who won the bronze medal at the 2015 World Cup and became the first female pundit to appear on Match of the Day.
BBC Sport correspondent Natalie Pirks
In early 2016, the FA's director of elite development Dan Ashworth asked Aluko to be part of a cultural review of all England teams. It's little wonder her opinion was sought - she was a senior member of the women's squad, with more than 100 caps to her name.
Her experiences were to be written up as part of confidential feedback about the culture under Mark Sampson and Aluko chose to speak her mind, presumably believing it would be helpful to the development of the team. After all, in May 2016, Sampson described the Chelsea forward as a "world-class talent who's played a big part in the team's development and success in the two years I've been in charge".
But since her feedback included allegations of a culture of bullying and harassment - including references to an alleged racist incident in a team meeting - she has not played for England. She's since spoken of how she believes Sampson has his favourites.
Two further England players have told BBC Sport of their experiences while playing for their country under Sampson.
Defender Anita Asante, 32, said she felt singled out in the way she was dropped from the squad.
And midfielder Lianne Sanderson, 29, said she felt as if she had "fallen out of favour" and was unappreciated, particularly when there was a lack of recognition for winning her 50th cap.
She blamed the culture in the team and said it seemed opinions from players were not welcome.
"I think it's a matter of everyone must conform," Sanderson said. "It's not a matter of being a rebel but I think there's a lot of bias there and sub-conscious manipulation.
"I think I've become controversial because I'm not a robot and I'm not going to be told that I can and cannot say in interviews.
"It's an environment where you're not allowed to have an opinion and any kind of opinion is the wrong one." | England women boss Mark Sampson says he is "looking to improve" his "general communication style" after being cleared of racial abuse. |
Give a concise summary of the following information. | Sam Dallow, from Birmingham, believed he was contacting a 14-year-old girl.
Instead, Dallow was messaging self-styled paedophile hunter Shane Brannigan, who reported the 25-year-old to the police.
Dallow was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court and told he would serve half his two year sentence in custody.
Dallow, of 6th Battalion The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, based at Tidworth, Wiltshire admitted attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming at his plea hearing in May.
It followed a sting carried out at Andover train station on 11 April where the soldier was greeted by Mr Brannigan and a colleague who filmed their exchange.
Sentencing Dallow, the judge said although he had only been communicating with a "persona", his conduct had been persistent and demonstrated a "reckless, predatory behaviour towards children".
Dallow was also placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years.
An NSPCC spokesperson, said social media platforms could "do more" to protect children by providing "safer accounts".
"Although the target of his disgusting advances was fictitious, Dallow's grooming behaviour is a stark reminder of the risks children and young people face online," they said.
"Parents and carers have a key role to play and must talk to their children about online safety."
Pools beat Leyton Orient 2-0 to go six games unbeaten in League Two and have kept a clean sheet in their last four.
Hignett's side are 14 points clear of 23rd-placed York City with have two games in hand, and only need eight more to be certain of staying up.
"I've said to them, let's see how high we can go and how far we can push ourselves," he told BBC Tees.
"While we're on this run and while we've kept four clean sheets, we'll keep going and see if we can break records."
Since his arrival on 10 February, Hignett has steered Pools from 22nd in the League Two table to their current position of 17th.
"We have moved up a few places which is nice and gives everyone a lift. When you play well and win games but you're not moving in the table, it's hard," he said.
"We've got to carry on doing what we're doing because the way we're playing and the system we're using will win you games."
Hignett has played the same starting XI in Hartlepool's last four games and will resist the urge to ring the changes even when safety is guaranteed.
"They have earned the right to play, they know what they are doing, they look defensively sound," he added.
"Since I've been here we've drummed into them that we're a team, we're altogether no matter what happens with setbacks, it doesn't matter."
TJ's in Newport, reputedly where Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain proposed to singer Courtney Love, closed last year after the death of long-term owner John Sicolo.
The building will go up for sale at the Paul Fosh auction at Cardiff's Park Inn Hotel on 15 September at 17:00 BST with a guide price of £175,000.
Mr Fosh said the property, in Clarence Place, offered "tremendous potential".
"There's little doubt TJ's was an iconic and well-known rock venue, attracting some major bands especially in the 90s," he said.
"It would be great, romantic even, for someone to buy the building and for it to continue its use as a rock venue, but that sadly seems unlikely to be the case."
He added the building was more likely to be used as residential or retail property, subject to planning.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The 25-year-old visually-impaired sprinter was not selected for the 2015-16 world class performance programme.
Anguilla-born sprinter Zharnel Hughes, who had his GB eligibility confirmed in June, was granted full funding.
Scottish steeplechaser Eilish McColgan said it is "no wonder athletes cheat" after her own funding was cut.
Clegg pulled out of the IPC World Championships in Doha last month after injuring her foot during a warm-up, having also been forced out of last year's European Championships through illness.
Fellow Scot McColgan, 24, has endured a similarly tough year, missing the entire 2015 season after breaking her ankle in January.
Selection for UK Athletics' world class performance programme (WCPP) is based on an athlete's potential to win Olympic or Paralympic medals and funded by the National Lottery through UK Sport.
The WCPP is split into two levels for both Olympic and Paralympic athletes:
Sprinter Dina Asher-Smith has been rewarded for her breakthrough 2015 season by receiving full funding for the first time.
The 19-year-old finished fifth in the 200m at the World Championships in Beijing in August, one month after she also became the first British woman to run under 11 seconds in the 100m.
Former 400m hurdles world champion Dai Greene, who failed to qualify for Beijing, is one of 21 athletes chosen for the Olympic podium programme.
He is joined by London 2012 gold medallists Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford.
Hughes, 20, was born in the British overseas territory of Anguilla but opted to compete for Great Britain with his home country not recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
The highly-rated sprinter receives full funding at the first attempt, having won the Lausanne Diamond league 200m race in July.
Paralympic gold medallists Richard Whitehead and Jonnie Peacock are on a list of 25 Paralympic athletes receiving podium funding, with world championship medallists Georgie Hermitage, Kadeena Cox, Dan Bramall, Toby Gold and Abbie Hunnisett also included for the first time.
Alongside Clegg and McColgan, middle-distance runner Hannah England and 110m hurdler Lawrence Clarke lost their Olympic level funding.
Perri Shakes-Drayton, a former European indoor 400m gold medallist, and European 100m champion James Dasaolu also saw their support cut back from the Olympic level to the relay programmes.
Six-time Paralympic gold medallist David Weir is not included after opting out of the funding system last year.
Former 3,000m steeplechase British champion McColgan revealed UK Athletics' decision on social media prior to the official announcement, adding "My current financial status..." above an image of chocolate coins.
Scottish 800m runner Lynsey Sharp was also critical of the governing body despite making the podium programme, saying she had received "no email" to confirm her selection.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The action, although widely expected, prompted the pound to fall by 1.5% against the dollar.
The FTSE 100 closed up 105 points at 6,740.16, higher than the same day last year.
The pound was down 1.5% against the dollar at $1.3120 and was down 1.3% against the euro at €1.1799.
"We got a Goldilocks dose of stimulus from the Bank of England today, not too dovish and certainly not too hawkish," said Neil Wilson, markets analysts at ETX Capital.
"The inclusion of corporate bonds in the QE programme is noteworthy. It's going to deliver another sugar rush for the FTSE 100 and it's no doubt going to spur additional borrowing by investment-grade companies who can then use the funds to finance share buy backs," he said.
"The weaker pound is also good news for the blue chip index, as earnings predominantly come from abroad," Mr Wilson added.
Another analyst pointed out that both the FTSE 100 and the pound have been stuck in a range for weeks.
"What is interesting... is that this still leaves both instruments [FTSE 100 and pound/dollar] within the same trading brackets they have been bouncing around for the last few weeks, reflecting, perhaps, the extent to which today's action from Carney and co. was expected," said Connor Campbell, financial analyst at SpreadEx.
"It also doesn't necessarily give either the UK index or sterling any fresh direction for the coming weeks and months, leaving both at the mercy of the next wave of Brexit-impacted data," he said.
The biggest loser on London's leading index was pharmaceutical company Hikma. It plunged by 17% after a late release on Wednesday, warning profit at its generic drugs unit would fall this year.
Insurance giant Aviva was a winner, rising 7% after announcing a 13% half-year operating profit rise.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Aguero, 28, clashed with Reid during Sunday's 3-1 win in the Premier League.
If found guilty, the Argentina international would be banned for three matches and miss the Manchester derby on 10 September.
He would also miss a league match against Bournemouth and the EFL Cup game against Swansea.
The Football Association said referee Andre Marriner and his officials did not see the 76th-minute incident so it has decided to take retrospective action after reviewing television footage.
An independent panel is due to rule on the case on Friday using written submissions and reviewing video evidence.
Aguero, who is out of Argentina's two 2018 World Cup qualifiers this month with a calf injury, will not appear in person.
Chapman, 61, shot the former Beatles star in New York in 1980. He told the parole board he now accepted his crime was "premeditated, selfish and evil".
But they told him: "In spite of many favourable factors, we find all to be outweighed by the premeditated and celebrity seeking nature of the crime."
His release would "be incompatible with the welfare of society" and "undermine respect for the law", they concluded.
Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in jail in 1981 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
Lennon was aged 40 when he was shot four times outside a Manhattan apartment block.
According to the ruling released by the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the board considered factors including Chapman's "personal efforts to study and educate yourself", the "network of support and release plans" and "official opposition".
They said: "From our interview and review of your records, we find that your release would be incompatible with the welfare of society and would so deprecate that seriousness of the crime as to undermine respect for the law."
Chapman will next be eligible for parole in August 2018.

Yesterday was the hottest July day on record, and combined with the heat and humidity in the atmosphere, the evening brought a dramatic contrast to the searing heat.
Parts of Northern England and Scotland experienced thunder and lightning,
BBC weatherman Simon King says there were 36,000 lightning flashes in 24 hours from 8am on Wednesday to 8am Thursday morning.
The pop star's fortune rose from £85m to £125m - meaning she's the richest solo female musician in the paper's annual wealth survey.
But she's only joint 19th in the list of the UK and Ireland's richest music acts, which is dominated by older men.
Sir Paul McCartney is in the top spot with £780m with wife Nancy Shevell.
They are followed by West End mogul Lord Lloyd-Webber, U2, Sir Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones bandmate Keith Richards.
Adele is tied in 19th place on £125m with Queen guitarist Brian May.
The rise in her bank balance was put down to a 122-date global arena tour, which has earned an estimated £138m at box offices, and the continued success of her third album 25, which sold 2.4 million copies around the world in 2016.
The singer will play four sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium this summer - but has hinted that she may not tour again after that, which could limit her future earnings.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The laws to regulate bailiffs in England and Wales were aimed at protecting debtors from any unfair behaviour.
But a consortium of charities says these new rules have failed to rein in some rogue bailiffs.
One industry body said the system had improved but could be better.
The government will soon begin a review of the laws.
Bailiffs are typically used by creditors, on the authority of the courts, to seize property if debtors fail to pay what they owe.
The 2014 laws should have provided debtors with protection against over-aggressive bailiffs.
For instance, the current laws ban bailiffs from entering homes at night, acting without proof of identity or lawful authority, or trying to impose unauthorised fees.
But a report called Taking Control, compiled by the charities, said that some bailiffs regularly intimidated debtors, failed to accept offers of payment and also failed take account of whether a debtor was particularly vulnerable.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust, said: "We continue to see widespread problems with the behaviour of bailiffs and bailiff firms. In its three-year review, the government now has the opportunity to deliver the fundamental bailiff reform that is needed to resolve these problems."
Citizens Advice chief executive, Gillian Guy, said: "Harsh tactics by bailiffs can cause severe distress and push people even further into debt.
"Local authorities have a key role to play in stamping out bad practices - by treating people in arrears fairly and ensuring bailiffs are only ever used as a last resort."
The charities that compiled the report included AdviceUK, the StepChange debt charity and the Children's Society.
Together they have called for the establishment of an independent regulator for bailiffs, and a single and simple way for people to complain about over-zealous bailiffs.
The use of bailiffs to enforce the recovery of debts is still widespread, with unpaid council tax being a particularly common reason.
Between 2014 and 2015, councils in England and Wales asked bailiffs to pursue debts on 2.1 million occasions, the charities say.
An HM Courts and Tribunals spokeswoman said: "The government is clear that aggressive enforcement action is not acceptable.
"Protecting the rights of the public is our top priority, which is why we've introduced robust rules on what goods an enforcement agent can or cannot take, how and when they can enter premises and what fees they can charge."
Claire Kober, chairwoman of the Local Government Association's resources board, said that anyone who felt that a bailiff working on behalf of a local authority had acted illegally or been intimidating should contact the council concerned immediately to raise their concerns.
Vernon Phillips, director general of the Civil Enforcement Association (CIVEA), which represents private sector agents, said: "It is clear from the most recent local authority survey evidence that the system is working better than before the new regulations came into force, but we are keen to ensure any continuing concerns are tackled effectively.
"We are currently in conversation with the advice sector organisations, and we are hoping that they will be able to share specific evidence with us of where practice can be improved, so that we can work with them to do that."
The 21-year-old prop was an unused member of Eddie Jones' 32-man squad for England's summer tour of Australia.
"He has so much potential if we get the little parts right, we saw a glimpse of what he can do against Bath last year," Mauger told BBC Radio Leicester.
"Genge's challenge this year will be getting his scrum sorted, if he's playing against teams with good scrums he's got to be on the money."
Genge, who joined Tigers permanently in May after a four-month loan spell from Bristol, has made five appearances as loose-head for Leicester.
"Marcos Ayerza is still up there for us but it's nice now to have options," Mauger added.
"We now have three quality loose-heads and some of those guys could bounce over and play on the other side of the scrum as well." | Some bailiffs are still abusing their powers when trying to recover debts, despite changes to the law three years ago, say debt advice charities.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | In a speech the former UK prime minister - now a Middle East envoy - said powerful nations must "take sides" and back "open-minded" groups.
Mr Blair told the BBC ahead of the speech the West would pay a "very heavy price" for not intervening in Syria.
He said the opportunity to create "an optimistic solution" had been missed.
Mr Blair gave his speech at Bloomberg in London amid high tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
Western leaders accuse Russia of using undercover military personnel to back separatists in eastern Ukraine - a claim Russia denies.
Before the speech, the former PM - now envoy for the quartet of the UN, EU, US and Russia - spoke to the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner.
He argued the West had a "responsibility but also an interest" in making sure that "huge struggle" was "resolved in the right way".
"However much people may think we can just push it to one side and forget about it, I think that would be a mistake.
"Above all, we have to commit. We have to engage."
On the issue of Syria, Mr Blair said he understood the UK's reluctance not to take military action, but he would have pushed for the imposition of no-fly zones had he still been in office two years ago.
"I know what the difficult consequences are of intervention, but if you look at Syria you see the consequences of non-intervention, and non-intervention there is something for which we will pay a very heavy price."
In his speech at Bloomberg, Mr Blair called on Western leaders to "elevate the issue of religious extremism to the top of the agenda".
And they must co-operate with other countries - "in particular, Russia and China" - regardless of "other differences".
He argued the threat posed by a radical view which "distorts and warps Islam's true message" was "spreading across the world".
"It is destabilising communities and even nations. It is undermining the possibility of peaceful co-existence in an era of globalisation.
"And in the face of this threat we seem curiously reluctant to acknowledge it and powerless to counter it effectively."
He called on leaders to consider the "absurdity" of spending billions of dollars on security against an ideology which is being "advocated" in the schools and institutions of "countries with whom we have intimate security and defence relationships".
"Some of those countries of course wish to escape from the grip of this ideology, but often it is hard for them to do so within their own political constraints," he added.

Give a brief summary of the content. | The man fled from a car after being stopped by police in traffic on Saturday afternoon, Milwaukee police said in a statement; he died from his injuries at the scene.
About 100 people gathered to protest about his killing.
Some buildings, including a petrol station, and cars were set on fire.
Police have not given the man's ethnic origin or that of the police officer, but did say he was armed with a stolen handgun and had an arrest record.
Previous police killings of black men have sparked nationwide protest movements.
During the disturbances, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett urged parents of anyone at the scene of the protests to "get them home right now".
Police asked for violence to stop during the night, and the north side of the city is now becoming calmer.
One officer was hit on the head when a brick was thrown through a police car window, they added.
Firefighters were initially unable to combat the blazes because gunshots were being fired, they say. | Violence has broken out on the streets of the US city of Milwaukee, after an armed man, 23, was shot dead in a police chase on Saturday. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | West had seemed about to repeat his infamous Taylor Swift moment, when he stormed the VMAs stage in 2009.
However in a rant on E! afterwards he said he decided to smile and sit down out of consideration for his daughter.
The rapper also said he thought Beck "should've given his award to Beyonce."
"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more," he told E! After Party, as he was interviewed alongside wife Kim Kardashian.
"And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
West went on to say that he and other artists were "tired" of being disrespected by the Grammys.
"Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration.
"And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place."
West's stance echoed the 2009 VMAs, when he stormed on stage as Taylor Swift was accepting her award, to say he thought Beyonce should have won.
Beck took the stage invasion in his stride, beckoning West towards the microphone.
He later and later told Us Weekly: "I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody.
"How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?
"I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."
Many Grammys commentators initially thought West's brief appearance next to Beck had been a joke.
However, the rapper said it was out of consideration for his daughter, North and his wife that he had decided not to speak.
"I'm not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk, but I am here to fight for creativity," he said.
"That's the reason why I didn't say anything tonight, but you all know what it meant when Ye [referring to himself] walked out on that stage!"
West had performed his track Only One during the ceremony, as well as appearing with Sir Paul McCartney and Rihanna for a performance of their collaboration FourFiveSeconds.
Beck won two Grammys including album of the year for Morning Phase, beating Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Sam Smith as well as Beyonce in that category.
Beck revealed to Billboard at Saturday night's pre-Grammys party that he was not expecting a trophy.
"It would be a surprise with this record, honestly. I've been in that category before, and it's usually something that's very definitive of the time."
Speaking after the show, he reiterated: "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!"
In the final event, Beyonce won three awards, while Sam Smith was the evening's big winner with four.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Tony Badger, who owns a chain called Brit Foods, told local media that food safety officials blocked a large import shipment of the popular products.
Mr Badger said he had been selling the items since 1997.
Food safety officials confirmed some items were barred for sale but said only meat was removed from the store.
"We've been bringing Irn-Bru in since the very beginning," Mr Badger told CKOM.
The bright orange caffeinated drink is particularly popular in Scotland, but sold in countries around the world.
"My understanding was we were importing legally. We've been declaring it through a customs broker and we've never had an issue until now," said Mr Badger.
Irn-Bru contains the food colouring Ponceau 4R. It is not permitted in foods for sale in Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said in a statement to the BBC.
The colouring has been linked to hyperactivity.
In addition, the agency told the BBC that "drinks and a yeast-based spread" found in the Brit Foods shipment and subsequently on the shelves in the shops were not approved for sale in Canada.
In a separate statement, the agency told the BBC that Irn-Bru and Marmite were not "banned" from sale in Canada, but that particular formulations intended for sale in Britain that did not meet Canadian food regulations were not allowed.
"Compliant formulations of these products have been available on Canadian store shelves for more than a decade and will continue to be sold in stores across Canada," the agency told the BBC. "The formulations of these particular products found in a recent shipment from the United Kingdom, were not intended for Canada and do not comply with Canada's regulations."
The agency said the shop had come to its inspectors' attention when a shipment was rejected at customs in Montreal because it contained meat.
Canada does not allow importation of beef products from the UK.
The CFIA said that during a follow-up visit to Brit Foods the meat was "placed under detention because of improper documentation".
But the agency said the drinks and spread found at Brit Foods shops, while in violation of Canada's food safety laws, were not a health risk and were not removed from the store shelves.
"These are technical violations of the regulations," the agency told the BBC in a statement. "There is no food safety risk associated with these products."
Mr Badger said he first ran into trouble in October when his Christmas stock was seized as it was imported from Britain.
He is worried he will no longer be able to import the popular items.
"The concern now is, with the next shipment, if it gets held there may be new issues with new products, so it somewhat paralyses our ability to bring new product in," he said, adding the delays had already cost him thousands of dollars.
But he said the agency was now conducting a health assessment on the foods to determine whether they were fit for sale.
"I haven't heard of anyone dying from consuming Irn-Bru in Scotland or Britain," he said. "So hopefully we will get a favourable decision."
One customer, Briton Nigel Westwick, told the Star Phoenix newspaper that he "couldn't understand the insanity" of preventing Irn-Bru from entering Canada.
"For a country that allows one to buy firearms, guns, bullets... stopping a soft drink suitable for all ages seems a little ludicrous."
The CFIA told the BBC it had initiated an investigation and would "take appropriate action as needed". | The owner of a British food shop in Canada says he has been ordered to stop selling Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn-Bru because they contain illegal additives. |

Summarize the information in the following document. | One city centre tattoo studio was faced with 800 potential customers on Friday.
The Manchester Tattoo Appeal was launched by Stalybridge-based tattoo artist Sam Barber, with those taking part donating £50 to help the families of those killed or injured.
Tattoo parlours across the UK are now taking part.
Manchester is adorned with the bee emblem, which is a legacy of the city's textile industry.
The tattoo appeal was announced shortly after the suicide bomber attack at Manchester Arena on Monday, which left 22 people dead.
Molly Rylance, who was at the concert during the attack, was one of the first to get a bee tattoo.
She said: "I just thought I wanted it to remember - not what happened - but kind of how resilient we are as a community and just how everyone stood together and said that it's not going to break us."
Tattoo artist Sam Barber said people were using it as a "symbol of strength".
"We've actually got a lot of family members of some of the victims coming forward who want it as a memorial tattoo now," she said.
"Paramedics and health workers who were on the scene, who were there in the aftermath - who also want to come together and get that tattoo done. "
Holier Than Thou, in Oldham Street, said 800 people turned up for a bee tattoo but most had to be turned away for the day due to the demand.
Danielle Kosky, 22, who managed to get a bee tattoo, said: "It's a nice way of showing support for the victims, their families and to remember them forever - not just now.
"I didn't know how else to offer my support. Facebook and Instagram are good, but this will be on me forever, not just words that you see on a screen." | Hundreds of people have been queuing at Manchester tattoo parlours to get bee inkings in a show of solidarity after Monday's terrorist attack in the city. |
Summarize the content provided below. | The action targeted users of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber-attack tools.
Twelve of the suspects were arrested in the UK as part of an investigation led by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Authorities across a total of 13 countries made the arrests between 5 and 9 December.
The NCA said that it had targeted users of software called Netspoof, a computer program that could direct huge volumes of internet traffic at websites and web servers in order to disable them.
Following the UK arrests, a 27-year-old man from Hamilton in Scotland was charged with offences under the Computer Misuse Act.
As part of the international operation, a US suspect has been arrested and charged over a DDoS attack that knocked a San Francisco chat service's site offline.
Sean Sharma, a 26-year-old student in California, is enrolled in a master's degree programme at the University of Southern California.
Mr Sharma could face up to 10 years in prison. His case is being investigated by the FBI.
"DDoS tools are among the many specialised cyber-crime services available for hire that may be used by professional criminals and novices alike," said Steve Kelly, unit chief of the FBI's International Cyber Crime Coordination Cell.
"While the FBI is working with our international partners to apprehend and prosecute sophisticated cyber-criminals, we also want to deter the young from starting down this path."
The international investigations, in which a total of 101 suspects were interviewed and cautioned, were supported by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre.

Write a brief summary of the document. | The Smith Commission on Scottish devolution was set up by the prime minister in the wake of last month's independence referendum.
But a House of Commons committee was told the commission was potentially heading for a "botch job".
And it was claimed a sustainable solution was unlikely to be found.
The five Scottish Parliament parties have already submitted their proposals for further devolution to the Smith Commission, which aims to agree a way forward by the end of November, before the UK government puts forward draft legislative proposals in January 2015, with a bill to be brought forward after the 2015 UK election.
The pre-referendum pledge of further devolved powers to Scotland has also led to a row between the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats over the issue of whether or not Scottish MPs should continue to be allowed to vote on English-only issues in the House of Commons.
Earlier on Thursday, Lord Smith - who is chairing the cross-party devolution commission - told the BBC that he did not believe the deadlines which had been set meant he was attempting to tackle "mission impossible".
But speaking at a meeting of the Commons Political and Constitutional Reform Committee, Tory MP Christopher Chope questioned whether people should rely on the "so-called" devolution vow made by the leader of the three main UK parties shortly before the referendum.
Mr Chope said the vow was given without the UK parliament's consent and had been dismissed as "salesman's puff" by nationalists.
Graham Allan, convener of the committee, warned there was a "feeling arising" in some quarters that the Smith Commission should be suspended.
Prof Michael Keating, director of the Scottish Centre on Constitutional Change, told the committee: "Frankly, I think the timetable that we have been given to do this is not realistic."
He added: "I'm not talking about stringing this out indefinitely and having endless discussion, but at least a year seems to be a reasonable time to put together something that will work and get the technical details right so that it won't unravel and have to be turned to again."
Mr Chope asked: "Do you think that there is any chance of that finding favour with the powers that be, rather than this mad rush into a rush job?"
Prof Nicola McEwen, associate director at the Scottish Centre on Constitutional Change, replied: "No, we are in a political context where there is an election round the corner and these create imperatives which mean, I think, that the timetable is not about to be changed.
"I suspect that means whatever comes out is probably not going to be sustainable and we will be back here within a few years talking about either fixing that or 'what next?'."
She continued: "This is not even a convention or a commission where you have got experts and representatives in a room trying to think through and reflect on the issues.
"It's not that at all, it's trying to find agreement between political parties and that is probably the last way I would recommend to nurture consent to an agreement from among the public."
Mr Chope said: "We're heading for potentially a very bad botch job."
Mr Keating said constitutional change "never happens for rational reasons", but he added: "Nevertheless, you can move too rapidly for short-term political considerations and end up making your problem worse because you have created a system that just is not going to work.
"And when we can see that happening I think it is up to us to say 'Hold on a minute, you are creating problems for yourself; that problem will not go away and allow you to move your agenda on - it will come back again very quickly.'
"And I think that's what will happen if we rush through this latest stage of Scottish devolution without proper consideration." | The commission tasked with brokering a deal on Scottish devolution faces an "unrealistic" timetable, academics and MPs have warned. |
Summarize the provided section. | Russia's plans are outlined in a new naval doctrine, launched on Sunday as the nation celebrated Navy Day.
The navy will get a fleet of new icebreakers, because the Arctic region gives Russia unrestricted access to the Atlantic and Pacific, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said.
The Arctic is also rich in minerals.
The new doctrine calls for close co-operation with China in the Pacific region and India in the Indian Ocean.
At a ceremony by the Baltic Sea, attended by President Vladimir Putin, Mr Rogozin said "the main emphasis is in two directions - the Arctic and Atlantic".
"The Atlantic emphasis is linked to the fact that recently there has been a quite active development of Nato and it has approached our borders. The Russian Federation will of course respond to that."
The ceremony took place at Baltiysk, a major naval base in Kaliningrad, a Russian territory sandwiched between Nato members Poland and Lithuania.
Mr Rogozin, who oversees Russia's Arctic projects, said the situation in Crimea and Sevastopol was also a factor influencing Russia's new naval doctrine.
Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014, ousting Ukrainian forces from the Black Sea peninsula's bases, in a move condemned internationally.
The annexation triggered Western sanctions, which have been ratcheted up several times because of Russian support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Mr Rogozin said Russia would establish a naval presence in the Mediterranean and invest in the economies of Crimea and Sevastopol. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 Russia retained control of the big Sevastopol naval base.
A live-fire exercise by the fleet in Sevastopol could have cost lives on Sunday when a missile exploded near the warships, as thousands of spectators watched the display. | Russia will strengthen its naval forces in the Arctic and Atlantic as a response to Nato activities close to Russia's borders, the Kremlin says. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | The award-winning artist was known for songs like Working In The Coalmine, Southern Nights and Fortune Teller.
He suffered a heart attack shortly after coming off stage at Madrid's Teatro Lara on Monday night, reported Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

The mortuary at the Madrid's Hospital Fundacion Jimenez Diaz confirmed his death to the BBC.
A legend of New Orleans R&B, Toussaint worked with some of music's biggest stars - including Paul McCartney, Irma Thomas, Aaron Neville, Joe Cocker, Glen Campbell and Elvis Costello.
He had been due to play the London Jazz Festival this weekend.
Toussaint was born in 1938 in the working class neighbourhood of Gert Town, New Orleans.
He began learning piano at the age of seven, influenced by the likes of Huey "Piano" Smith and Ray Charles, and got his big break when he was asked to fill in for an absent Fats Domino at a recording session.
In 1960, Toussaint was hired by Joe Banashak's Minit record label and masterminded many of the company's biggest hits - including Irma Thomas's Ruler of My Heart (later recorded by Otis Redding as Pain in My Heart) and Benny Spellman's Lipstick Traces (On A Cigarette).
Drafted by the military in 1963, he continued to make music on service leave, but scored his biggest hits after his discharge in 1965.
His most successful collaborations were with singer Lee Dorsey, who recorded Toussaint's compositions Ride Your Pony, Get Out of My Life Woman, Working in a Coalmine and Everything I Do Gon' Be Funky.
Many of his songs became famous through cover versions, with the likes of The Who, The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Bo Diddley and The Doors re-interpreting his songs.
He also produced Labelle's signature hit Lady Marmalde in the 1970s, and released a collaborative album with Elvis Costello in 2006.
Toussaint was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. The citation said his greatest contribution "was in not allowing [New Orelans] old-school R&B traditions to die out but by keeping pace with developments in the rapidly evolving worlds of soul and funk.
"In addition, he brought the New Orleans sound to the national stage, and it remains a vital and ongoing part of our musical heritage to this day."
Following Hurricane Katrina, he campaigned tirelessly for his hometown, raising money to support those left destitute by the disaster.
In 2013, he was presented with America's National Medal of Arts, the highest honour given to an American artist.
"After his hometown was battered by Katrina and Allen was forced to evacuate, he did something even more important for his city - he went back," said President Obama at the award ceremony.
"Since then, Allen has devoted his musical talent to lifting up and building up a city. And today, he's taking the stage all over the world, with all kinds of incredible talent, doing everything he can to revive the legendary soul of the Big Easy."
Toussaint is survived by his two children, including his son Clarence, known as Reginald, and his daughter, Alison, both of whom managed his career in recent years, reported New Orleans' broadcaster WWL-TV. | US musician Allen Toussaint has died at the age of 77, Spanish authorities have confirmed to the BBC. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | "I had two days where I felt awful. Very feverish, on the sofa, crashed out," he said.
Eventually he went to hospital where he was diagnosed with Lyme disease:
"It was a really scary time for me and my family. Such a tiny creature caused me to end up needing heart surgery."
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection, passed on to humans by infected ticks.
While it is difficult to estimate the total number of UK cases, they are understood to have increased more than fourfold in the past 10 years.
The peak season is April to October, though they are active all year round.

A World Cup winner in 2003, Dawson played 77 times for England and made seven appearances for the British and Irish Lions.
Matt said he was floored by his diagnosis: "I'd heard of Lyme disease before. It was something I'd always associated with places abroad, on the continent, in America, wherever there were deer.
"There's no way that I would've walked through a wood or a forest with my kids and gone back home and thought, 'right, I'll just check for some ticks just to make sure everything is fine'. I just wouldn't have thought of that."
Ticks can be found in areas with deep or overgrown vegetation.
They're common in woodland and heath areas, but can also be found in gardens or parks.
People who hike and camp in such places are at risk of getting bitten.
Ticks don't jump or fly, but climb on to your clothes or skin if you brush against something they're on. They then bite into the skin and start to feed on your blood.
It's thought only a small proportion of ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, so being bitten doesn't mean you'll definitely be infected.
Pets can also bring ticks home in their fur.

Matt Dawson has now joined forces with The Big Tick Project, which looks to raise awareness about the dangers of ticks and tick-borne disease in the UK.
Tied to researchers at University of Bristol, the project has conducted the largest ever study of ticks in dogs. They studied 14,000 dogs from 1,400 vets across the UK and found almost one-third were carrying a tick.
TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham is working with the project to raise awareness among pet owners and vets:
"It is really important that pet owners understand how they can treat their pets for ticks and reduce the risk of the further spread of these horrible, debilitating and potentially dangerous diseases to the UK," he said.
After multiple heart operations and 18 months of treatment, Matt no longer has the disease.
But it still affects his life: "I'm still on medication and its going to take a lot of time for the heart to fully recover.
"This is not something that should be looked at like, 'oh it's only a tick, a tick is a bit like a flea, its fine!'," he said.
"These ticks carry some really quite potent, serious bacteria and they can cause you a lot of problems. Raising awareness of them is imperative."

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Abdus Salaam Ebrahim was arrested following the murders of three Tanzanians in Cape Town last week.
A state prosecutor said the charges were being provisionally withdrawn to allow for further investigation.
Pagad is Muslim-dominated group which was formed in 1995 to fight crime in and around Cape Town.
It was implicated in a number of bombings in the mid-1990s, including a blast at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in 1998, which it denied.
The government once described the group as a terrorist organisation and it maintained a less visible presence until 2011 when it began a campaign to "take back control of the streets", says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
Are vigilantes the answer to gang threat?
Mr Ebrahim made a brief appearance in a Cape Town court on Thursday after spending about a week in jail in connection with the murders of three Tanzanian men, alleged to have been drug dealers, and the attempted murder of South African woman.
Pagad supporters filled in the public gallery inside the courtroom and shouted: "Allahu Akbar (God is great)", when the magistrate agreed to have the charges withdrawn, South Africa's Cape Argus newspaper reports.
The Tanzanian men were shot and killed outside a shop in Athlone, a gang-ridden suburb of Cape Town, on 13 August.
Two men died on the scene and the third in hospital. A South African woman was seriously injured during the attack.
At the time, Ashim Nassoro, the owner of the shop, said he saw men armed with AK-47s and 9mm pistols firing shots from outside the premises, local reports say.
Another Pagad member, Zakariyah Albertyn, who was held for questioning on Monday in connection with the triple murder, was released without being charged on Wednesday.
Pagad's campaign came to prominence in 1996 when a local gang leader, Rashaad Staggie, was beaten and burnt to death by a mob.
Officials have been cautious about the resurgence of Pagad in the Western Cape province and there are fears that its involvement in crime fighting will only make matters worse, our correspondent says.

Ms Titus, 68, is said to have suffered "bruising and swelling to her right arm" and "substantial pain".
Steely Dan are best known for 1970s hits such as Reelin' in the Years and Rikki Don't Lose That Number.
The group, which Fagen launched with guitarist Walter Becker, had their first hits in 1972 and went on to enjoy commercial and critical success, selling more than 40 million albums.
Fagen was charged with misdemeanour assault and harassment on Tuesday after being arrested by New York police at the couple's home on Monday.
"[Titus] and Fagen were involved in a verbal dispute, at which point he grabbed her by the arm and pushed her. She fell, bruising her arm," a police department spokesperson told Rolling Stone.
The New York Post reported that Ms Titus said: "I don't feel good. I'm very tired, and I'm divorcing my husband.''
The musician was released without bail and was ordered to stay away from his wife.

Prosecutor Kath Harper described his conduct as "sexually deviant."
At the High Court in Glasgow, Russell was found guilty of offences which took place in Livingston between 2003 and 2016.
He raped one girl when she was aged between 12 and 14.
The court heard Russell threatened to kill the schoolgirl to stop her telling anyone what had happened to her. He also said that no-one would believe her.
Eventually the girl told school friends what had happened to her, and also opened up to a friend on Facebook.
However, when asked by police in 2011 and 2013 she denied she had been raped.
Ms Harper said: "She was scared because he had threatened to kill her if she told. Imagine the effect that might have on a child.
"It was only in 2016 when, out of the blue, the police came to her that she finally divulged the full extent of what happened."
Judge Lord Clark told Russell: "By the verdict of the jury you have been convicted of 11 charges which includes the repeated rape of a young girl and sexual abuse of her and three others."
Russell was placed on the sex offenders register and will be sentenced next month.

Summarize the provided section. | Scottish Rugby (SRU) says it is "absolutely baffled" by the decision, which is yet to be formally announced by competition organisers.
The SRU learned of the decision by World Rugby in October.
An SRU spokesman told BBC Scotland it is already assessing how this will affect the future of its squad.
Scottish Rugby has also expressed "our disappoint that the birthplace of sevens, which consistently delivered a great tournament, had been removed from the Sevens World Series".
The Sevens World Series visits nine locations annually and a Scottish leg will be held for the final time in May.
Scotland has hosted the event for seven years, initially at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and then at Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow.
The SRU says it received positive feedback from players, officials, fans and sponsors regarding the delivery of the tournament.
Japan is also set to lose its host nation status, to Singapore, despite being the host country for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, with the new venue choices expected to remain in place until 2019.
"Scottish Rugby submitted a compelling and robust bid document to World Rugby in August last year to continue to host a round of the Sevens World Series," the SRU said in a statement.
"This was endorsed fully by our partners and sponsors who had supported our seven successful years of hosting the tournament.
"We are extremely disappointed, as are our partners, that the Scottish leg of the World Series has been given to another location.
"This very much remains a live issue for us and we are engaged in dialogue with World Rugby currently.
"We are committed to delivering another stand-out weekend of rugby sevens in Glasgow over the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May."
World Rugby is still refusing to comment on the choice of venues but says it will announce the full series in the next month or so.

What is the summary of the following document? | Two of the campaigns refused to answer BBC questions about how much they are spending and who has given them money.
A third - Leave.EU - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it had already spent more than £2m and been promised ten million pounds by donors.
For now there are no rules limiting the amount campaigns can spend or forcing them to reveal their funders.
One campaigner said there was "a bit of an arms race" underway as groups rushed to raise and spend money.
Expenditure will be regulated and will have to be declared only in the final weeks before the referendum.
As the date of the vote is not yet announced, it is unclear when limits will be put in place.
A spokesman for the Electoral Reform Society, which campaigns for changes to the voting system, said: "This spending free-for-all could damage the chances of the referendum being conducted in a fair and democratic manner. If one side has significantly more resources, it could lead to an uneven playing field."
It has been suggested the campaigns could spend as much as £20m each.
The BBC asked the campaigns for the UK to leave and remain in the EU six questions, including how much they had spent, how much they had been promised and how much they expected to spend.
Only Leave.EU, funded in part by its co-founder the former UKIP donor Arron Banks, gave a detailed answer.
It said it had spent £2.3m so far, at a rate of £190,000 a month, and been promised £10m. They employed 84 staff.
Their biggest donor was Mr Banks. Other contributors included Jonathan Seymour Williams, Jonathan Banks, Richard Tice, Toby Blackwell, Jim Mellon and Andy Wigmore.
Mr Banks declined to say precisely how much he or other individual donors had given so far.

How much has your biggest donor given so far and pledged to give in future?
How much have you spent so far?
How much have you been pledged by donors so far?
How much do you expect to spend by the date of the referendum?
How many people do you employ?
Vote Leave said it employed 30 permanent staff, but gave no direct answer to the other questions.
It noted it was already known the former Conservative treasurer Peter Cruddas had pledged £1m to their campaign.
A Vote Leave spokesman said: "We fully comply with the law and will comply with Electoral Commission rules on donations when these are set out nearer the referendum."
Britain Stronger in Europe did not answer any of the questions, saying it would not give a "running commentary".
It said it would comply with Electoral Commission rules.
A spokeswoman said: "While general elections are won or lost in 100 marginal seats, we have to reach 46 million voters across 650 seats, that means building a ground operation from scratch across the country."
It is known the Labour donor Lord Sainsbury and philanthropist David Harding are Britain Stronger in Europe's main funders.
In a regulated period before the referendum, probably lasting 16 weeks, campaigns will be required to make public donations and loans they have received worth more than £7,500.
Two designated lead campaigns will be allowed to spend £7m each in the regulated period. Political parties will also be able to spend money on their own campaigns.
In the Scottish independence referendum campaigners were required to report donations made between December 2013 and the date of the vote in September 2014.
A government spokesman said: "The EU referendum will use the same framework of rules which delivered free and fair results in previous polls like the Scottish Independence referendum last year.
"Limits are set on campaign spending and campaigners must be transparent about where their funding came from, before a referendum takes place."

Please summarize the following text. | The opinion of the advocate-general effectively ends Nestle's attempts to trademark the snack.
It also brings to an end the latest chapter in the internecine chocolate wars between Nestle and Cadbury.
The High Court had already rejected Nestle's trademark application in 2013.
Advocate-general opinions are usually, although not always, followed by the European Court judges.
Had its application been successful, Nestle would have been able to prevent competitors making rival chocolate bars of the same shape and size.
But Nestle faced significant opposition to is trademark application from bitter rival Cadbury's and its US owner, Mondelez International.
The advocate-general opinion is the latest development in a more than 10-year battle between Nestle and Cadbury fought in the courts, which started when Cadbury tried to trademark the purple colour it uses on its Cadbury chocolate wrappers.
Nestle objected and finally had the original decision allowing Cadbury to trademark the colour overturned in 2013.
Now it appears Cadbury has had its revenge.
Nestle argued that, over time, the four-fingered chocolate bar's physical form had acquired a distinctive character associated with the company since its launch in 1935, and should become a trademark.
It did not seek to trademark the two-fingered bar.
It cited a survey in which 90% of people shown a picture of the bar, without any names or symbols embossed on it, mentioned KitKat in their comments.
But a rival bar called the Kvikk Lunsj, meaning "quick lunch", launched in Norway in 1937 is available in some UK shops, and although less well known, looks similar.
She was spotted in the water at the mouth of the River Conon at about 18:20 on Saturday.
Members of the public, the coastguard and the Invergordon RNLI lifeboat took part in a search for the woman.
She was later taken on board a coastguard helicopter but died shortly after arriving at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
Police have said the woman's next of kin have been informed but her name will not be released until a formal identification takes place.

Media outlets were used as propaganda tools during the five-month military standoff between rival claimants to the presidency.
Since the end of the conflict, the media have largely steered clear of using inflammatory rhetoric.
State and non-state actors frequently threaten media workers, including carrying out physical attacks and closing outlets.
Radio is the most popular medium. UN peacekeepers launched Onuci FM in 2005. There are no private terrestrial TV stations, although satellite pay TV is available.

The bank claims he collected commissions, and undervalued its stake in the global motor racing business, which it sold in 2005.
Mr Ecclestone's lawyer in Munich declined to comment.
This week a German court halted a bribery trial against Mr Ecclestone, relating to the sale of F1 rights, in exchange for a payment of £60m.
The 83-year-old billionaire had been accused of funnelling some £26m to jailed BayernLB banker Gerhard Gribkowsky to ensure that a company he favoured could buy a stake in F1.
Mr Ecclestone had denied wrongdoing, and his payment was accepted by the district court in Munich.
He walked free and continues running the sport. It also meant Mr Ecclestone was found neither guilty nor innocent.
Gribkowsky was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison in 2012 for accepting bribes.
Mr Ecclestone's lawyers last week had offered to pay public-sector bank BayernLB 25m euros, but also said that damage to the company was not evident.
The offer expired on Friday with the bank rejecting it, without giving reasons.
It has not said what its next move would be - it could either negotiate another sum or could launch civil proceedings against him.
In 2005 BayernLB sold its stake in Formula 1 to the private equity firm CVC, making it the largest stakeholder in the business.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said that, on average, consumers will save just £26 a year.
MPs also warned that the technology could be out of date by the time the roll-out is complete.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said smart meters will lower bills and make switching easier.
Installing the meters - which begins in earnest next year - will cost £215 per household, or £10.6bn.
Customers will be charged an annual amount on their bills to cover the cost, peaking at £11 a year in 2017.
The £26 annual figure would be the net saving, after the installation costs have been taken into account.
"Despite consumers footing the bill, they can on average make a saving of only 2% on the average annual bill of £1,328 by the time the roll out is complete," said Margaret Hodge, the chair of the PAC.
"Even this is conditional on consumers changing their behaviour and cutting their energy use," she added.
The Committee also said that some of the technology is likely to be out of date by the time it is installed.
At the moment the meters carry an in-house display, which tells consumers how much energy they are using at any given time, and how much it is costing.
The idea is that will encourage consumers to use less electricity and gas.
But the MPs said customers could receive similar information on smart phones.
That could make the in-home displays "redundant," said the committee.
DECC said there would be no up front charge to consumers for having a smart meter installed.
Energy minister Baroness Verma said: "Smart meters put power into the hands of consumers, bringing an end to estimated billing and helping people understand their energy use.
"The nationwide rollout is part of the Government's complete overhaul of the UK's energy infrastructure which will revolutionise the market and support the development of smarter electricity grids.
"It will help reduce consumer bills, enable faster, easier switching and give households control at the touch of a button," she said.

The victim is understood to be a high-profile loyalist.
Mr Wilson said things had escalated to the point where one side "in broad daylight and unmasked had taken the opportunity to try to kill".
There has been an ongoing feud between loyalist factions in Carrickfergus for months, and Mr Wilson said there was a chance of retaliation in the area.
"There is no point in me or anyone else appealing to the two sides to back off, the police should make quick arrests and put people behind bars to send out a message that if this continues then people will be caught and they will serve long times in jail," he said.

Tesla aims to make 5,000 of its mass market Model 3 a week by the end of this year.
It has estimated it is already spending about $100m a week to hit that target.
On 4 August Tesla said was looking to raise $1.5bn by selling bonds, but said on Friday it now expected to raise $1.77bn from the sale.
The fundraising is limited to major institutions and not private investors.
Junk bonds are ones that pay a higher yield than normal bonds (5.3% in Tesla's case), but also carry a higher risk of not being paid back. The bonds are set to be repaid in 2025.
Analysts said Tesla's ability to raise more than $1.5bn indicated an appetite for risk among investors, as low interest rates have limited returns in many other types of investments. High stock market valuations have also made it harder to make a profit.
"Without the proceeds from the note offering, Tesla's liquidity position would be stressed," analysts at Moody's said, warning of risks to potential investors.
Tesla had about $3bn in cash at the end of June, but it spent more than $2bn in the most recent quarter.
The company founded by Elon Musk has frequently turned to investors to overcome persistent operating losses.
Tesla plans to eventually make more than 500,000 of the new Model 3 cars a year at its Fremont factory - or about 10,000 per week.

Former medical director for NHS Fife Dr Brian Montgomery will lead the study.
The review will look at how changes made to the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) process in 2014 have affected patient access to medicines for rare and end-of-life conditions.
It will also examine how the system for getting patients access to newly-licensed drugs is working.
The SMC in an independent body that advises health boards about how effective medicines are and whether they represent value for money for the health service.
Announcing the review, Health Secretary Shona Robison said reforms had already been introduced by the SMC, designed to give more weight to the views of patients and clinicians when considering certain drugs.
She said: "Access to new medicines for rare or end-of-life conditions is an extremely complex issue.
"Over the last few years, this government hastaken a number of significant steps to improve the balance of these decisions and help patients get better access to treatments that can give them longer, better quality lives.
"Since we introduced our £90m New Medicines Fund and made changes to the SMC process in 2014, 26 medicines have been approved under the new system, and together with other reforms have benefited more than 1,000 patients in Scotland.
"However, with new treatments coming to market all the time, it is important to take stock of the progress to date to continually assure ourselves that our systems for assessing and accessing new drugs are keeping pace and meeting the expectations of patients.
"An important part of this is that the NHS pays a fair price for these new drugs."
The review team is expected to report on its findings in the summer.
Dr Montgomery, a former GP, said he was looking forward to hearing a wide range of views on the topic.
Breast Cancer Now's Scotland Director Mary Allison, said: "Women with incurable secondary breast cancer and those treating them need better access to innovative life-extending medicines.
"We believe that the systems in Scotland can work better to get a fairer deal for patients and the NHS.

An independent review is to be carried out of the way drugs are assessed for use on the NHS in Scotland. |
Write a brief summary of the document. | Governor Mary Fallin told reporters the execution of another inmate, due to take place the same evening, will be delayed until after the review.
Clayton Lockett's execution was stopped after 20 minutes on Tuesday evening after witnesses saw him writhing.
A ruptured vein was discovered and he died of a heart attack soon afterwards.
Ms Fallin said on Wednesday she believed in the death penalty for those who commit "heinous crimes".
"However, I also believe the state needs to be certain of its protocols and its procedures for executions and that they work."
The state's department of public safety would lead the review, she said.
By Victoria GillScience reporter, BBC News
Since it was first used in Texas in 1982, "the triple-drug cocktail" has become the standard execution method in US states that have the death penalty. It was designed by anaesthesiologist Stanley Deutsch as an "extremely humane" way to end life.
The first drug, a barbiturate, "shuts down" the central nervous system, rendering the prisoner unconscious. The second paralyses the muscles and stops the person breathing. The third, potassium chloride, stops the heart.
But critics suggest that the method may well be painful. One suggestion is that people could be too sedated by the first drug to cry out, or that they might be in pain but paralysed by the second drug.
Another complication, as appears to have been the case with Clayton Lockett, is that intravenous drug use is common among death row inmates, meaning many prisoners have damaged veins that are difficult to inject.
Problems sourcing some of the drugs in the official protocol have also led to claims that states are using untested drugs in their executions.
On Wednesday, a White House spokesman said the execution "fell short" of humane standards.
"[President Barack Obama] believes there are some crimes that are so heinous that the death penalty is merited," Jay Carney said.
"But it's also the case that we have a fundamental standard in this country that even when the death penalty is justified, it must be carried out humanely. And I think everyone would recognise that this case fell short of that standard."
Lockett was sentenced to death for shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in 1999.
Ms Neiman and a friend had interrupted the men as they robbed a home.
At his execution, he was declared unconscious and injected with the second and third drugs but three minutes later, he began breathing heavily and writhing.
Courtney Francisco, a local journalist present at the execution, told the BBC Lockett was moving his arms and legs and straining his head, mumbling "as if he was trying to talk".
Oklahoma's top prison official ordered a halt to the execution and he subsequently died.
"We believe that a vein was blown and the drugs weren't working as they were designed to." Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said.
The problems surrounding Lockett's execution come amid a wider debate over the legality of the three-drug method and whether its use violates guarantees in the US constitution "against cruel and unusual punishment".
On Wednesday, the Oklahoma governor reiterated she had issued a 14-day stay of execution for fellow inmate Charles Warner, 46, who was scheduled to be put to death in the same room two hours later in a rare double execution.
But Ms Fallin said she had not given the public safety commissioner a deadline to complete his review and would continue to stay Warner's execution until it was complete.
"His fellow Oklahomans have sentenced him to death, and we expect that sentence to be carried out as required by law," she said.???
He was convicted of the 1997 murder and rape of an 11-month-old girl.
His lawyer, Madeline Cohen, who witnessed Lockett's execution, said Lockett had been "tortured to death".
US states have encountered increasing problems in obtaining the drugs for lethal injections, amid an embargo by European pharmaceutical firms.
Some have turned to untried combinations of drugs or have sought to obtain the drugs custom-made from compounding pharmacies. Several US states that still have the death penalty have since switched to a single-drug method.
Warner and Lockett had unsuccessfully challenged an Oklahoma state law that blocks officials from revealing - even in court - the identities of the companies supplying the drugs.
The state maintains the law is necessary to protect the suppliers from legal action and harassment. | The governor of Oklahoma has ordered an "independent review" of the state's execution protocols after a death row inmate took 40 minutes to die. |
Can you summarize the following information? | The University of Oxford attraction in the city centre has suffered about 40 plant thefts over the last three years.
Most recently its only example of a rare carnivorous plant, roridula gorgonias, was stolen in spring from one of its greenhouses.
Curator Kate Pritchard said the plants may have been stolen "to order" and added: "It's hugely demoralising."
She said the thieves must have come prepared with cutting equipment, such as long knives, because otherwise some of the plants could only be reached using a ladder.
Among the other species taken were orchids and plants from the bromelia family, which took about five years to cultivate.
Ms Pritchard said: "Whoever took them knew what to look out for, they know their plants and came well-prepared.
"They were taking more unusual species, so they could have been taking them to order.
"It is a very selfish mentality. We ask our visitors to remain vigilant when exploring the garden, but not to approach anybody who they might think is behaving suspiciously."
Gardens curator for the University of Oxford Botanic Garden and Harcourt Arboretum Tom Price said a "culture change" was needed.
He said: "People are aware it's illegal to steal from museums, galleries, and libraries.
"But living collections such as the botanic garden and Harcourt arboretum don't seem to register on the same scale with the public."

Summarize the content given in the passage. | Some people who do not believe they can pass the test - or those who simply want the UK driving licence document without the effort - are prepared to pay hundreds of pounds to cheat the system.
And it is not just the practical test that falls prey to fraudsters; the theory examination has proved open to abuse.
This risk to British roads is taken very seriously by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and its team of 30 fraud investigators.
Behind an unassuming smoked glass door in Nottingham the team's leader, Andy Rice, describes the problem of fraud as "significant" and "serious".
He investigates driver impersonation - where stand-ins take tests in place of learners - illegal instructors who are not registered to teach, and corrupt translators who provide the correct answers in exchange for cash.
"Because of the sums involved some people will go to great lengths for this fraud," Mr Rice said.
People will pay about £800 for someone else to take their theory test or about £1,600 to be impersonated in the practical test, he said.
"Gangs see it as a nice earner and when we started a gang could do 200 to 500 tests before they were caught."
One of the first convictions involved an estimated £1m made in impersonations.
Mr Rice said gangs "employ" eight to 10 people with "different looks" to match the learner's provisional licence photograph.
Evidence of money laundering, drug and gun trafficking has been be found at the homes of arrested suspects, he said.
Mr Rice managed the investigation that led last month to Britain's first jail sentence for an interpreter, who helped about 200 people to cheat the driving theory test.
Chinese interpreter Peter Hui was sentenced to 12 months in prison for correcting answers in tests between 2011 and 2012 in Birmingham.
A few weeks later Mandarin translator Allyson Ng was jailed for 12 months for cheating on at least 94 theory tests between 2009 and 2012, mainly in Cardiff.
Although a rare fraud, with five translators prosecuted to date, its impact is significant: for each corrupt translator the number of people who pass with that person's help can be in the hundreds.
In the first case of its kind, in 2004, an interpreter speaking Tigrinya (a language from Ethiopia and Eritrea) was shown to have given answers in 562 tests.
His fraud was committed mainly in London and Birmingham.
The Midlands has featured in all the cases where translators have been prosecuted for fraud.
In February the government launched a consultation into ending foreign language assistance for the UK driving test.
Road safety minister Stephen Hammond said, in addition to the possibility of fraud, allowing interpreters created a potential safety risk, due to people being able to pass the test but not understand important traffic updates.
In July two examiners, an instructor and seven candidates were sentenced after a three-year investigation into fraud in Warwickshire.
And cheating is not confined to the standard driving licence test.
The DSA is investigating an Urdu translator suspected of helping bus and lorry drivers cheat on theory tests in the West Midlands.
John Fothergill, former chairman of the Private Hire Drivers Association in Coventry, said cheating is well known to taxi drivers.
Until he left five years ago he worked alongside the Taxi Licensing Department in the city.
He said: "I heard of people using mobile phones and sending text messages to get answers in the [taxi] written exams, some drivers definitely got through without all the knowledge they needed to do the job."
Mr Rice said the public can help to tackle fraud by ensuring driving instructors are registered with the DSA, which ensures they are competent and checked.
"The best way to be assured learners are safe is to check the green DSA registration badge on the instructor's windscreen.
"Instructors are in a position of trust, a lot of learners are young adults and for those who operate illegally, without a CRB check, who knows what their background is," he added. | Driving tests are a fraught necessity for UK residents who want to drive legally on the nation's roads - but they can also be a money-spinner for organised crime gangs. |

Summarize this article briefly. | Industrial action, the result of a dispute over the introduction of new high-speed trains, affected routes in south-west England and Wales during the bank holiday weekend.
The company said it "remained hopeful" of an agreement to avoid more strikes.
The dispute centres around staffing and on-board catering facilities on FGW's new fleet of Intercity trains.
Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) fears guards and buffet cars will be disposed of when they come in to service in 2017.
The rail company said it was able to run a "near normal" service in the Thames Valley and long-distance routes over the bank holiday weekend, however it admitted passengers had been "frustrated" by the stoppage.
A statement said: "We're aware there were significant issues with the revised timetable not appearing in our journey planning tool and National Rail Enquiries until very late in the day."
The company maintains it has told the RMT there will be no job losses, but the RMT said "basic assurances" had not been given.
Union members held a 48-hour strike over the same dispute in July as well as a 24-hour stoppage on 23 August.

Please summarize the document below. | Amazon's global sales during the Prime Day event could approach $1bn, according to a JP Morgan forecast.
The firm's shares rose 1.8% amid wider gains for tech stocks on Wall Street.
However, traditional retailers fared less well, with shares in Best Buy and Macy's falling more than 6% and Kohl's stock dropping nearly 5%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq index rose 0.4% to 6,176.39, lifted by Amazon as well as Google-owner Alphabet and Facebook.
The Dow Jones and S&P 500 finished little changed at 21,408.52 and 2,427.43 respectively.
For members of Amazon's subscription service, the sales event - which starts on Monday night - means discounts on items ranging from its voice-activated Echo robot, through to diamond stud earrings and chewing gum.
The JP Morgan forecast of $1bn sales would represent about 55% growth over last year.
Amazon has not disclosed how many people are Prime members, but recent reports have suggested the count in the US could be as many as 85 million - more than a quarter of the US population.
JP Morgan said it expected the sales event to have an effect on shares of rival firms, such as Walmart, which had not been affected in prior years. The retailer's stock fell 2.8% on Monday.
"One can easily argue the retail environment and e-commerce threat is a significantly larger and more sensitive topic this year," the note said.
The finding comes from a poll of 23,000 women by the Care Quality Commission, which is carried out every three years.
While care improved on many antenatal and postnatal measures, the regulator said it was concerned about what was happening in the delivery room.
Midwife leaders said the problems were directly linked to a shortage of staff.
There are currently over 21,000 midwives in the NHS in England - a rise of 1,200 in two years.
But the Royal College of Midwives believes there is a shortage of 4,800 because the birth rate is at its highest since the early 1970s.
The survey showed a significant number of women were concerned about the care they got during labour and birth.
Some 39% reported raising concerns - although the CQC did not ask whether they were minor or major issues.
Of those that complained, a fifth said they were not taken seriously enough.
Overall, the poll showed:
About 10,000 women provided detailed comments about their care as well as filling out the survey.
A number of themes arose from their reports, including poor pain management, cleanliness and a sense of bullying over breastfeeding.
Sir Mike Richards, the CQC's chief inspector of hospitals, said he was "encouraged" by the improvements.
But he added: "In too many cases the quality of care delivered is just not good enough.
"Women and their partners are being left alone when it worries them, toilets and wards are described as unclean and some women are not given the pain relief they had expected or planned to use in their birth plan."
Sir Mike said one of the key issues he would be looking at during future inspections would be staffing levels.
He also listed the seven hospitals - out of the 137 delivering maternity care in England - that came out worst in the survey.
These were:
Cathy Warwick, of the Royal College of Midwives, said: "The survey shows that the NHS continues to fail too many women. It sets out yet more evidence of the real-life and disheartening effects on women of the shortage of midwives. How many more flashing red lights do we need?"
A spokeswoman for the National Childbirth Trust added: "The bottom line is that in order for things to improve we need more midwives, working effectively, providing continuity for women." | Investors boosted shares of Amazon on Monday in anticipation of strong sales during the firm's heavily promoted summer discount day.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | That's not entirely true - tax powers are one of the things that remain devolved to member governments.
The European Union has led the way on measures to prevent money laundering, but taxes are set on a country-by-country basis. Some member states have used this power to set themselves up as low-tax jurisdictions within the EU - Ireland, for example - encouraging multinational corporations to shift their profits there to pay lower taxes.
It has had some success going after tax deals made by member states with individual companies under state aid rules. It did this, for example, with Luxembourg and the Netherlands on Fiat and Starbucks respectively.
It may be argued that if anyone has been taking the lead on tax avoidance it is the OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a 34-country group that has also been working to tackle offshore avoidance and evasion).
It is true that cross-border co-operation is needed to deal with tax avoidance, and it has made some important changes, such as the update to the European Savings Directive in 2014, which closed some loopholes that were allowing taxes to be avoided.
It may be that unwillingness from member states has been a factor in preventing the EU doing more about tax avoidance. It emerged earlier in the week that David Cameron had written to former European Council President Herman van Rompuy in 2013 asking for offshore trusts to be excluded from a crackdown on tax avoidance.
Reality Check verdict: The EU has done some useful work on tax avoidance but cannot really be described as having led the way.
