The pair led for much of the race but were beaten to the gold medal by Poland's Magdalena Fularczyk-Kozlowska and Natalia Madaj, who won by 0.95 seconds, with Lithuania in third.
Grainger, 40, won gold in London after silvers in Sydney, Athens and Beijing.
The Scot and Welsh rower Thornley, 28, were not in the initial GB squad.
Their partnership was dissolved after they failed to make the podium at this year's European Championships.
They both tested for the women's eight but fell short of their team-mates' times and were made to wait before being confirmed in the squad for the double.
"I don't think anything could eclipse London because of everything that surrounded it," she said.
"But I remember at the start of this campaign feeling that if I could come out with anything, a medal of any kind, it would probably be my greatest achievement," said Grainger.
Thornley added: "I have been dreaming of winning an Olympic medal since I started rowing and so many times I was not sure it would ever happen.
"I had to find the right race with the right person and today was that race."
After winning gold in London with Anna Watkins, Grainger opted to have a two-year sabbatical before returning in September 2014.

She and Thornley led by 0.64 seconds at the halfway mark of Thursday's final but the Poles powered through to win in seven minutes and 40.10 seconds.
Grainger's silver takes her past swimmer Rebecca Adlington's four Olympic medals, and level with tennis player Kitty Godfrey (nee McKane).
Godfrey, a seven-time major champion, won five Olympic medals in the 1920s, one gold, two silver and two bronze.
Four-time Olympic champion Matthew Pinsent: "Brilliant brilliant brilliant. One of the most amazing @TeamGB stories this year. Thornley/Grainger silver."
London 2012 gold medallist Alex Gregory: "Oh wow Katherine & @VickyThornleyGB just brilliant!"
Rower Polly Swann: "So incredibly happy for @VickyThornleyGB and Katherine. What a result!! Well done girls."
Five-time Olympic rowing champion Sir Steve Redgrave: "There were a lot of doubters and I was probably one of them. They just hadn't shown form like that. They believed in themselves and had the strength of mind to believe they could do it.
"They haven't trained as long as they had to walk away with silver but there was a doubt they would make the final.
"We all would have loved them to have won the gold but as I said to Katherine, that's the best medal she's ever won, because of everything that has happened around it.
"What she has done for the sport, for women's sport, is incredible. I am immensely proud of her.
"If you've had two years out, that is so tough to come back in an endurance sport."

Midfielder Gary Dicker joins from Carlisle United on an 18-month deal and full-back Lee Hodson arrives on loan from MK Dons.
Dicker, 29, has made 27 appearances this season and was due to be out of contract with the English League Two side in the summer.
Hodson, 24, is a Northern Ireland international, winning the first of 14 caps in 2010.
He has only featured in three league matches this season, having helped MK Dons win promotion to the Championship last term.
Dublin-born Dicker started Carlisle's 3-0 FA Cup loss to Everton on Sunday, the day after Gary Locke resigned at Rugby Park.
Meanwhile, Lee McCulloch will take charge of Killie's Scottish Cup tie against Rangers on Saturday.
The former Ibrox captain, 37, was recruited by Locke as a player-coach in the summer.
Killie are still in talks with the former Motherwell and Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies over their managerial vacancy.
But those discussions are unlikely to be concluded before the weekend. | Katherine Grainger became Britain's most decorated female Olympian by taking silver alongside Victoria Thornley in the double sculls.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Sahil Roy died about an hour after he was discovered by police in Summerwood Road, Isleworth, on 10 April. A post-mortem examination found he died from a stab wound to the throat.
Azeem Issa, also 28, of Haweswater House, Isleworth, was found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey.
He will be sentenced at the same court on Thursday.
Gerard and Teresa Hughes said the gang demanded more than £3,000 from their son, Ronan, and then sent images of him to his friends on social media.
Speaking to the Irish News, they criticised police "inaction" after the 17-year-old revealed what was going on.
Police said they hoped to meet the family to discuss their concerns.
Det Ch Supt Brian Hanna said: "Our enquiries are continuing into what will be a complex and protracted investigation, and we will keep the family informed of any progress as appropriate.
"The office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland is also best placed to deal with any complaints in relation to police actions."
Ronan's parents told the newspaper that his death, less than two weeks ago, could have been prevented.
At the time, it was believed the Coalisland teenager was tricked into posting pictures online, and police said they are investigating whether he was being blackmailed.
Speaking for the first time since their son's death on 5 June, the couple described their son's online blackmailers as "relentless".
They said he was being blackmailed over images he posted online after receiving photographs from a girl.
His mother said: "We want there to be changes so if a child out there is being bullied online they can go to the police or other authorities with their concerns.
"We don't want another family to go through what we've gone through."
Ronan's parents told the Irish News that their son, a pupil at St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, had confided in them three days before his death about a fake Facebook account.
He said the blackmailers said they would send the images to his online friends unless he paid £3,300 within 48 hours.
Ronan died just hours after learning that his blackmailers had carried out their threat.
His parents believe he would still be alive if his case had been treated more urgently by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
"His biggest worry was that his friends would see these images, " Mr Hughes said.
But when he took his son to Dungannon police station, they were told there was only one officer on duty.
"A policeman said to us there was very little they could do as he was there on his own that night.
"He scribbled down a few notes and told us to ignore the blackmail. He told us to come back the next morning.
"I knew Ronan was looking for help and I told him that all my son wanted is for these images not to be posted. He told us that he couldn't guarantee that. For Ronan, it was totally dismissive."
He said if the police had given Ronan an assurance that they would close the site down, he "would still be here today".
They returned to the police station the next day where they spent several hours and Ronan's phone was taken.
However, they heard nothing more from the police.
The Nigerian site was closed within two days of the tragedy.
Ardwyn, Grungrog, Oldford and Ysgol Maesydre nursery and infants schools will all shut from August.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Ian McCafferty is a member of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) which votes on interest rates each month.
Writing in The Sunday Times, he said raising rates now would mean they could increase gradually.
Mr McCafferty has voted for an interest rate hike each month since August.
"Starting to raise Bank rate now makes it more likely that the increase required over coming years to deliver our inflation target can be kept gradual and limited," he wrote.
There had been speculation that Mr McCafferty and fellow MPC member Martin Weale, who has also voted for a rate hike for the past three months, might change tack after data suggesting growth was softening.
On Friday, official data showed UK economic growth slowed in the three months to September, with the economy expanding by 0.7%, the Office for National Statistics said.
Mr McCafferty admitted the timing, when inflation was 1.2% and well below the Bank's 2% target, may appear "puzzling", but said the MPC needed "to look forward".
"Ensuring that we act in good time and move rates slowly, to allow consumers and businesses to adapt with minimum disruption, is, I believe, the best way of supporting and sustaining the economic expansion now under way," he said.
The Bank of England cut interest rates to 0.5% in early 2009, and has kept them at this record low ever since.
Minutes from the MPC's October meeting, when members voted 7-2 to hold interest rates at 0.5%, said that for most members, there was "insufficient evidence" of inflationary pressure to raise rates.
Most economists are expecting the MPC to start raising rates around the middle of next year. | The Bank of England should increase interest rates now despite signs of softening growth, one of the Bank's policymakers has said. |

"I wholeheartedly apologise for any offence I've caused," Vardy, 28, said.
"It was a regrettable error in judgement I take full responsibility for, and I accept my behaviour was not up to what's expected of me."
Vardy scored the opening goal in Leicester's 4-2 win against Sunderland on Saturday.
He has scored 26 goals in 98 league games for the Foxes and made his international debut for England in June.
A Leicester City spokesman added: "We expect the highest standards from our players on and off the pitch and for them to set an example as role models in our community.
"We have noted Jamie's apology and will begin a process of investigation into the incident imminently. There will be no further comment until this process has concluded."

He first made Blues' matchday squad in 2015-16 for the penultimate game against Middlesbrough - and now hopes for further progression in 2017-18.
"It's time for me to start playing competitive men's league football," the former King Edward VI Aston schoolboy told Blues' club website.
"Hopefully that's at Birmingham City, or it could be going out on loan."
Having started the season with Kevin Poole as his goalkeeping coach, prior to Gary Rowett's sacking as manager, he is now under Kevin Hitchcock, who was kept on by Harry Redknapp following Gianfranco Zola's departure.
"It was good when Harry Redknapp came in and Kev Hitchcock stayed as there was a bit of continuity there," he said. "But I had good working relationships with Kevin Poole and Kev. I've learned a lot under both."

The 31-year-old received the call on Saturday from Warren Gatland when Youngs withdrew after learning his brother Tom's wife is terminally ill.
"I've been a competitor all my life, that's one of my strengths," Laidlaw said.
"I want to start. It's making sure when I get an opportunity that I take it."
Laidlaw admitted his involvement with the Lions squad came under difficult circumstances, with Youngs pulling out to support his brother.
The Scot made his first start for Gloucester at the weekend after two outings off the bench following nine weeks out injured, but says he is close to 100% fitness and ready to take his chance in New Zealand.
"First and foremost, everybody's thoughts are with Tom, with Ben and the whole of the Youngs family," Laidlaw said.
"I never got the call until late on Saturday night, so it's a quick turnaround. I've got a few things going on, I'm moving clubs [to Clermont Auvergne], so the house is getting packed up as we speak. I was planning to move out today, so I'm pretty busy on that front. I'm delighted to be here and to get started.
"Because it's happened so quick and the logistics of getting down here, it's probably not [sunk in], but it will in the next few days. We've potentially got a few games left with Gloucester this season, so my focus will be on that and trying to win some silverware with them in the Challenge Cup final on Friday night, and potentially the play-offs as well. Then we'll look forward to the Lions.
"I'm well over 90% (fitness-wise) now and you don't want to be playing if you're not close to 100%, but nobody's ever quite 100% these days. I feel good and that's credit to the strength and conditioning team and the physios down at Gloucester."
Laidlaw joins Glasgow Warriors duo Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour in the Lions squad and says he is "delighted" to have added to the Scottish contingent travelling to New Zealand.
"You fly the Scottish flag, you're an ambassador for your country and for your team-mates when you come away on trips like this," Laidlaw said.
"I just caught up with Hoggy and Tommy this morning and the Scottish boys on the trip will put our best foot forward. They were pretty happy to see me, and I was with them, they're a couple of good boys.
"To work with different coaches is a great thing, you can always try to learn something new and clearly the coaches on this tour are vastly experienced. There are brilliant players throughout the squad as well, so you just try hard to work with everybody and get the best out of each other. For us to be successful, we will need that to happen." | Birmingham City's Under-23 goalkeeper Connal Trueman has signed a three-year contract with the Championship club.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Labour deputy leader Tom Watson called for a probe and for Mr Gove to "confirm or deny" having been the source.
Commons Leader Chris Grayling said the press watchdog was investigating and no further action was needed.
Mr Gove has said he does not know "how the Sun got all its information".
The Sun says it is standing by its front page from last week, which was headlined "Queen backs Brexit".
It referred to an exchange between the monarch and former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, in 2011, which it called a "bust-up" and said left no doubt about the Queen's "passionate feelings over Europe".
Buckingham Palace has complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation about the report, insisting the Queen is "politically neutral".
Asking an urgent question in the Commons on Monday, Mr Watson said ministers who met the Queen as members of the Privy Council swore an oath not to reveal what was said at their meetings.

UK and the EU - better off out or in?
Any member of the Privy Council who turned out to have been the source of the story "should be removed from office if he won't honourably resign himself", he said.
Mr Watson said the three other ministers at the meeting where the exchange was said to have taken place had denied being the source, adding that Mr Gove's response had been "hardly categoric".
On Saturday, Mr Gove told reporters: "I don't know how the Sun got all its information and I don't think it's really worth my adding anything to what's already been said."
A source close to him later told the BBC: "Michael did not brief this story."
Before Mr Watson asked his urgent question in the Commons, Speaker John Bercow reminded MPs they were not able to discuss the Queen's views.
Mr Grayling, who like Mr Gove wants to quit the EU, is also Privy Council lord president.
Responding to Mr Watson, he said there was no need for further action as the press watchdog was already investigating and the story had been denied by Mr Clegg, Mr Grayling's predecessor as Privy Council lord president.
Mr Clegg has said he could not remember any such incident and called the story "nonsense".
"You can't be found guilty of an offence when an offence has not taken place," Mr Grayling said.
He also answered "yes" when asked whether Mr Gove was supported by the prime minister and cabinet.
Coppinger and Butler, respectively team and club captains, will now stay at the Keepmoat Stadium until 2018.
The former, 36, has scored eight goals this season and holds the record for appearances for the club.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Currently in non-league's top flight, the four clubs finishing directly below the one automatic promotion place play two-legged semi-finals before a final.
Under the proposals, teams down to seventh in all three of the National League's divisions would be involved.
At the AGM, clubs can vote to amend the proposals, decline them or accept them.
Forest Green won this season's National League promotion final, beating Tranmere Rovers at Wembley 3-1.
FC Halifax Town and Ebbsfleet United won the National League North and South finals respectively, after one-legged semi-final victories.
It is understood that under the proposals all play-off matches will be played over a single leg.
Teams that finish second and third would progress to a semi-final at their home ground, while the teams in fourth and fifth would host seventh and sixth clubs respectively in a "qualifying round".
The winners of those matches would then move into the semi-finals before a final - at Wembley for the National League and a club ground for the North and South divisions.
In theory, that would give teams that finish higher up the division an advantage, as they would play one match less and have a home tie. | A proposal will be put forward to all National League member clubs to change to six-team play-offs at the Annual General Meeting on 10 June. |

What is the summary of the given information? | Ministers want to remove a clause that lets consultants opt out of providing non-emergency care at weekends as part of their plans for a "seven-day NHS".
A breakthrough is seen as vital by the government as it tries to move on from the junior doctors row.
The latest strike by junior medics ended on Friday morning.
The 48-hour stoppage was the third walkout, with another two planned for next month as the profession fights the imposition of the new contract.
The talks with consultants' leaders at the BMA began in autumn and slowed down at the turn of the year.
However, momentum has gathered in recent weeks, the BBC has been told, and there is a possibility they could conclude before Easter, with meetings held this week and planned for next.
The negotiations, led by NHS Employers for ministers, have centred on removing the weekend opt-out consultants have for non-emergency care.
The government believes this is a major barrier to getting more consultants to work weekends, although the BMA says its research suggests nine in 10 consultants do some level of weekend working.
The opt-out means doctors can command pay three or four times the normal rate when they are asked to do non-emergency weekend shifts. Some of the bonuses consultants get have also been discussed.
Sources close to the talks said there had been "good progress" recently.
But there is concern within the BMA that if consultants do agree a deal it could leave junior doctors isolated, with ministers intent on imposing the contract on them from the summer.
A spokeswoman for the BMA said the talks remained "ongoing" but there had not yet been an agreement.
Any offer would have to be put out to the BMA's consultant membership and consideration is even being given to asking those junior doctors at the end of their training - and therefore close to becoming a consultant - whether they would be happy with the deal.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We want to introduce a fairer contract for consultants that better reflects their role as leaders in our NHS and helps to ensure patients get safe, high-quality care every day of the week.
"Talks with the BMA over proposed amendments to consultant contracts have been constructive."
Stokes followed-up his first-innings hundred with two wickets in two balls as England dominated South Africa on day four of the third Test at The Oval.
"You want him either batting or bowling in the key moments," said Broad.
"He's a better cricketer when he is fired up. The team are learning how to get him in that mode more often than not."
Nottinghamshire fast bowler Broad, 31, added: "We'll say: 'Stokesy, this is your time. Keep coming at him. Keep trying to get him out.'"
Stokes, 26, has previously allowed emotions to get the better of him - in 2014 he suffered a broken hand punching a locker after being dismissed in a one-day international in West Indies.
He has also had on-field confrontations with the likes of Marlon Samuels, Virat Kohli and Tamim Iqbal.
However, he has taken on the responsibility of the Test vice-captaincy and, in the first innings at The Oval, struck a flawless century in difficult conditions.
"That was a really mature knock," said Broad. "He played slightly out of his comfort zone to keep the team calm.
"He will naturally score quickly, but then he played within his scoring power to set up the game for us."
On Sunday, with South Africa chasing an unlikely 492 to win, Stokes struck twice in successive deliveries to help leave the tourists on 117-4 going into the final day.

"It felt like one of those intimidating spells Andrew Flintoff used to bowl, heavy and at the batsmen.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Hana Gul Khan, 22 of Meyrick Road, north-west London, was convicted of sending the money to Jafar Turay, 28.
Mr Turay left the UK in July 2012 to join rebels fighting President Assad's regime.
He first travelled to Saudi Arabia and Egypt before crossing the border into Syria from Turkey in June 2013.
Mr Turay was previously known as Joel Kelvin Daley before he converted to Islam and was wanted by police in connection with a serious assault before he fled the UK.
During the trial the jury heard that Khan and Mr Turay kept in touch via the WhatsApp message service.
Khan raised some of the cash she arranged to be transferred by selling the contents of his flat, the court heard.
The jury was also told Mr Turay sent pictures of children posing with weapons and of him posing with an AK-47 and heavy machine guns.
In response, Khan told Mr Turay: "You look beautiful", the court heard.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | PC Andrew Ott struck William Horner with his riot shield at a tuition fees protest in London in 2010.
He and two officers were also accused of concocting a reason to falsely arrest the student.
Ott, 36, was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm at Southwark Crown Court. All three were cleared of perverting the course of justice.
Mr Horner, then aged 20, was trying to break free from a kettled area during the protest in Parliament Square, Westminster on 9 December when he was struck.
The Royal Holloway student was then arrested on suspicion of threatening to commit criminal damage.
Ott, from Rochester in Kent, PC Calvin Lindsay, 31, from east London, and PC Thomas Barnes, 31, from Kent, were accused of making up a reason to arrest Mr Horner after he was injured.
The protests saw riot police pelted with missiles including rocks and concrete blocks, and the statues in Parliament Square being daubed with graffiti, the court heard.
No further action was taken against Mr Horner.
PC Lindsay, from Leytonstone, and PC Barnes, from Greenhithe, and Ott have been on restricted duties during court proceedings.
Ott will be sentenced on Wednesday.
The Cube in Corby, which has cost £48m, now has its fourth floor office space completed and available for rent.
The rest of the building includes Corby Borough Council offices, a library, theatre and register office.
Tom Beattie, the council's Labour leader, said: "There was a cost over-run, but we held our hands up and accepted responsibility."
The Cube opened in November 2010, but it had issues, which included a leaking roof.
Building inspectors said the helical staircase was "dangerous, like a helter skelter" and it was described by the then Conservative opposition leader David Sims as a "poorly managed, waste of taxpayers' money".
Work to bring it up to scratch has now been completed, the council said.
Mr Beattie said: "We know it's taken a while, but we've got a building which is functional, people have got used to it and it makes a statement about Corby's ambition.
"As you see the developments taking place around the town centre, I don't think any of that would have happened without this building being here - it's acted as a magnet to attract further business."
Rob McKellar, current Conservative opposition leader, said: "The Cube is a building Corby can be proud of and it represents Corby's ambitions.
"It was controversial and there are multi-million pound overspends.
"The public did punish the Labour administration at the ballot box in May and Labour has apologised, but now it's time to look to the future and Corby's is certainly a bright one."
Earlier this year, council officer Steven Redfern, reached an out-of-court settlement after launching a £1m damages claim after he turned whistle-blower over the spiralling costs of the project.
An online poll commissioned by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (Fare) also found 92% of Australians believe alcohol is linked to domestic violence.
Fare surveyed 1,820 people across Australia.
However one alcohol industry lobby group rejected the study as "all spin and no substance".
Source: Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education
Fare chief executive Michael Thorn told the BBC the research suggested Australians were concerned about the harm caused by alcohol, but that many were resistant to changing their own behaviour.
"Australians should think about the annual alcohol toll: 5,500 deaths, 160,000 hospitalisations, 70,000 assaults," he said.
"We know what the solutions are. Fix the way alcohol is taxed, reduce its availability, and cut back on the way it is promoted including phasing out sports sponsorship."
The survey also found most people believe the alcohol industry should be held responsible for harm cased by drinking.
Alcohol Beverages Australia dismissed the poll as sensationalist and lacking in evidence, and that most Australians used alcohol in moderation.
"The focus should be on properly establishing and addressing the causes of family and domestic violence, not simplistically blaming alcohol for its prevalence," said the body's executive director, Fergus Taylor.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Wessels and Brett Hutton shared a 197-run seventh-wicket stand before the latter fell to Scott Borthwick for 74.
Borthwick's first five-wicket haul since 2013 saw Notts all out for 534, with Wessels finishing unbeaten on 159.
Bird then ripped through Durham's top order as the away side closed on 193-4, trailing by 341 runs at Trent Bridge.
After the hosts resumed the second day on 353-6, in a chanceless first session, Wessels and youngster Hutton ensured maximum batting points for their side.
Borthwick then wrapped up the tail before Durham openers Mark Stoneman (39) and Keaton Jennings batted with ease.
But Jennings was caught at midwicket by Samit Patel off Bird, Stoneman fell in identical fashion and Jack Burham was then trapped lbw next ball for a golden duck as the away side crumbled.
Bird was denied a hat-trick but soon sent Michael Richardson's off stump tumbling to put the home side in the driving seat.

They only stayed up on goal difference and manager Mark Warburton said the club should "never be in that position again".
He would not be drawn on the likely takeover by the controversial figure of Marinakis, but said there was plenty of reason for optimism at the City Ground.
"A relegation dogfight is not what we are about," added Warburton. "I am confident it won't happen next season, and I say that because I have seen the quality within the squad.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The Seagulls were eight points clear of third place in early January but, after winning just three of their last seven, that gap has been cut to four points.
"By our standards of the season, it is a difficult period," Hughton said.
"You have got to go through these periods and it is about how you come through them."
Brighton have been in the top two since October, and were top of the table after beating Fulham on 2 January.
However, defeats at Preston and Huddersfield since then have seen the chasing pack close in on Albion, who still have a far superior goal difference to the sides below them.
Hughton's side were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Ipswich on Tuesday, but the four sides in the play-off places were all victorious.
They have three tricky fixtures remaining in February - a visit to Barnsley on Saturday before hosting fourth-placed Reading and leaders Newcastle.
"We have to remember we are second in the division," the 58-year-old added to BBC Sussex.
"There are too many good sides that are pushing really hard at the top end, but we have to look after our own results.
"We mustn't get too carried away, and have to work hard to make sure we stay there."
Albion fell short of winning promotion to the Premier League last season, finishing third in the table on goal difference and then being beaten in the play-off semi-finals by Sheffield Wednesday.
Midfielder Steve Sidwell has called for his team-mates to retain their composure during the run-in.
"Other teams can pick up points but as long as we do as well, that's fine," the 34-year-old said.
"When you are under pressure you have got to deliver. If you want to go up you need to deal with the pressure."
Sidwell is one of four Albion players to have won automatic promotion to the Premier League, winning the title with Reading in 2005-06, while Hughton led Newcastle to the Championship title in 2009-10.
"I've been there and done it and if I have to pass the experience on then that's what I'll do, but there is a time and place for that," Sidwell said.
"Nothing is given on a plate for you. These are the defining moments that matter and to be a part of it is what we are all here for.
"We have a group of players that can do it and it is just about making sure it happens."
Seven Sumatran orangutans and three silvery gibbons will use the new climbing poles, trees and sway poles.
The exhibit is part of the zoo's £30m Islands project which is home to animals including tigers.
Tim Rowlands, curator of mammals, said without "vital conservation efforts" the primates could become extinct in the near future.
The zoo said the "playground" also includes breeding facilities, rockwork and webbing.
It added that the sway poles move similarly to trees when orangutans move from one to another above the forest canopy when foraging for food.
Conservationists estimate that fewer than 6,500 Sumatran orangutans and fewer than 4,500 silvery gibbons are left in the wild.
The Fishers Hotel in Pitlochry was evacuated shortly after 06:00. There are no reports of any injuries.
The hotel on the town's main street has over 130 rooms and can accommodate 180 people.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the building was "well alight" and about 55 firefighters were using nine fire engines to fight the blaze.
The organisers of the Pitlochry Street Party event planned for 13:00 were forced to cancel because of disruption caused by the fire.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Brian McConnachie QC said there was sufficient evidence to prosecute Harry Clarke.
He said the Crown Office had "jumped the gun" in not pressing charges.
Mr Clarke has begun giving evidence at a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) - but declined to answer many questions for fear of incriminating himself.
Lawyers for the family of one of the six victims of tragedy have applied to the High Court for permission to bring a private prosecution against Mr Clarke.
If it went ahead, anything Mr Clarke said in the FAI could be used against him in a subsequent trial.
An attempt by his QC to have the FAI adjourned while legal moves surrounding the possible private prosecution were considered has been rejected by the sheriff.
The Crown Office said two months after the December 2014 incident that no charges would be brought against Mr Clarke or his employers, Glasgow City Council.
Speaking to BBC Scotland, Mr McConnachie, who was principal advocate-depute (prosecutor) in the Crown Office from 2006-2009, said that the decision now appeared wrong.
He said: "On the basis of what we have heard from the inquiry, it does seem to be the case that they have very much jumped the gun in making the decision not to prosecute the driver.
"I don't know whether they felt there was some urgency because of the circumstances of the tragedy that happened that caused them to take that decision so quickly.
"But with hindsight, I would be very surprised if they are not now thinking that it was not perhaps their best idea."
Mr McConnachie said on the evidence heard at the FAI there was a prima facie case to have charged Mr Clarke with causing death by dangerous driving or the lesser charge of causing death by careless driving.
But he admitted that when they took their decision, it was unlikely that Crown counsel considered the possibility of a private prosecution - a device only used twice since 1909.
The prospect of such an action has meant the FAI is likely to conclude without the sheriff and the bereaved families having heard any significant evidence from Mr Clarke, the man at the centre of the tragedy.
Mr McConnachie said this could have been avoided by prosecuting him, and letting a jury decide if he was guilty of any charge, and then holding an FAI afterwards.
The Crown Office said its position had always been that it was aware of evidence that would be led at the inquiry. It added that the relevant information had been taken into account regarding a decision not to prosecute.
A spokesman said: "It is clear on the evidence at the time that the driver lost control of the bin lorry, resulting in the tragic deaths, he was unconscious and therefore not in control of his actions.
"He did not therefore have the necessary criminal state of mind required for a criminal prosecution.
"In addition, the Crown could not prove that it was foreseeable to the driver that driving on that day would result in a loss of consciousness.
"This still remains the case and all the relevant evidence regarding these points was known to Crown Counsel at the time the decision to take no proceedings was made." | A former senior prosecutor has strongly criticised the decision not to charge the driver at the centre of the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy. |
Summarize the content of the document below. | Four people were on board the helicopter when it crashed on 14 March.
Winch operator Paul Ormsby and winch man Ciaran Smith are still missing.
A statement was released on Saturday by the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) after an examination of the helicopter's data systems.
"Following an event such as this, many operators and agencies are anxious to learn if any matters are identified during the ongoing investigation that may require immediate safety actions," the statement said.
"An initial analysis has been conducted of the data retrieved from the helicopter's Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) and the Multi-Purpose Flight Recorder (MPFR). No mechanical anomalies have been identified during this initial analysis."
The AAIU said the investigation is ongoing and a preliminary report will be issued in the near future.
The most senior pilot on board the aircraft, Cpt Dara Fitzpatrick, died after she was rescued from the sea hours after the crash.
The body of her co-pilot, Capt Mark Duffy was later recovered from the wreckage.
Efforts to lift the wreckage of R116 have been delayed again on Saturday due to rough sea conditions around Blackrock Island.
At the time of the crash, the R116 crew were providing communications support to another Irish Coast Guard helicopter, which had been deployed to airlift an injured fisherman to hospital.
The main part of the wreckage was located last month about 60m west of Blackrock island, but difficult weather conditions have hampered the recovery operation.
The aircraft is lying on the seabed at a depth of about 40m.
About 80 members of the Irish Defence Forces, including air corps and army personnel, have been deployed to assist the multi-agency operation in Blacksod Bay.
Streets are being newly paved in Havana and the cathedral is being renovated.
On the city's iconic Revolution Square, where Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass on Sunday, workers have been building a huge altar and stands for the congregation and choir.
Pope Francis will spend four days in Cuba before flying to the US, on his first visits to both countries.
Similar makeovers are taking place in other Cuban cities on the Pope's itinerary.
Workers in Havana have re-laid the cobbled streets where the Pope mobile will pass and have upgraded the traffic lights.
The airport terminal where the Pope will arrive has also been renovated.
In the city of Holguin where the pope will celebrate Mass on Monday, the cathedral has been repaired and repainted.
Officials say nearly 1,000 Cuban and foreign journalists are expected to cover the visit.
On Thursday the Vatican said it hoped Pope Francis's visit would help bring to an end the 53-year-old US embargo and lead to more freedom and human rights on the island.
The Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Vatican hoped for "a flowering of these fundamental aspects for the life of persons and peoples".
The Pope himself praised Cubans' "spirit" in the face of adversity.
"It does me a lot of good and helps me to think of your faith in the Lord, of the spirit with which you confront the difficulties of each day," he said in a message relayed on Cuban state television.
Pope Francis's trip will also take him to the US. The thaw in relations between Cuba and the US in recent months is partly due to his crucial mediation between Havana and Washington - something Mr Castro thanked the Pope for during a visit to the Vatican in May.
On Friday the US announced eased restrictions on business and travel with Cuba, the latest move by President Barack Obama to improve relations with the country.

The Carnival Splendor was 200 miles (310km) from San Diego when the fire broke out in its engine room on Monday.
"I love being back on land," passenger Ken King told the Associated Press.
The 952ft (290m) ship, which is owned by Carnival Cruise Lines, was pulled into San Diego Bay at about 0830 local time (1630 GMT) by six tugboats and escorted by several Coast Guard vessels.
Individuals on the ship and about 100 people onshore cheered loudly as the Carnival Splendor reached land.
By mid-afternoon on Thursday, about 2,500 passengers had disembarked the ship, which a Carnival Cruise Lines official said was better than anticipated.
The evacuation of the passengers and crew was slowed by disabled elevators.
"The staff was excellent. Only a few people on board were rude. The food was horrible. Starting at 5am on Monday, we didn't have toilets for 13 hours," Mr King said.
The cruise line has promised to refund the passengers' fares, reimburse them for their travel costs and give them a voucher for another cruise.
Microsoft had agreed to provide customers with a screen to allow them to chose internet browsers other than its own Internet Explorer.
In a statement, Microsoft conceded it had "fallen short", blaming a technical error.
The European Commission said penalties for non-compliance would be "severe".
EU competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia said it appeared the browser choice screen (BCS) had not been provided since February 2011, meaning 28 million customers might not have seen it.
Microsoft said PCs running the original version of Windows 7, as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista, did have the screen.
But it added: "Due to a technical error, we missed delivering the BCS software to PCs that came with the service pack 1 update to Windows 7.
"While we have taken immediate steps to remedy this problem, we deeply regret that this error occurred and we apologise for it."
Mr Almunia said: "Needless to say, we take compliance with our decision very seriously.

PC Doyle, 36, was assaulted along with two of his colleagues near the Aloha Club, Colquitt Street on 19 December.
Two people appeared in court on Tuesday charged with his murder.
Andrew Taylor, 28, of Cherry Tree Road, Huyton and Christopher Spendlove, 30, of Brandearth Hey, Huyton are accused of murder and two counts of grievous bodily harm.

He had been on a Christmas night out with two officers who were treated in hospital for facial injuries.
The officer had been due to go on honeymoon with his wife, Sarah, next month.
Keith Towler said he was increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress in the support services for such children.
An independent "voice" for children was suggested 14 years ago after an inquiry into abuse in north Wales care homes.
The Welsh government denied Mr Towler's claims, saying it was committed to empowering children to speak out.
Latest figures show there are nearly 6,000 children in care in Wales.
And every one should have access to an advocate, someone who offers them one-to-one support and can represent their views.
But Mr Towler said the reality was that services were patchy and inconsistent across Wales, with an "apparent lack of necessary drive and determination" from ministers.
He has spoken to 384 young people in care for his latest report and found more than half of them did not know who their advocate was.
"I can't deny that there has been some progress but it has been patchy and it has been slow," he said.
"There have been too many excuses for why change has not happened more quickly and, in the meantime, the situation for children and young people remains much the same."
Mr Towler said recent allegations about historical child abuse shows the need to get advocacy services right.
"Advocacy enables us to create a climate where we listen to children and young people, a culture where we can better protect our children. In short, advocacy safeguards children and young people," he said.
Mr Towler has called for a nationally commissioned model to bring consistency across Wales.
The Welsh government said it has improved the system.
"We do not agree with the conclusions reached by the Children's Commissioner for Wales," said a spokesperson.
"We remain absolutely committed to keeping children free from abuse and to empower them and others to raise concerns that ensure perpetrators are identified, investigated and subject to the full weight of the justice system.
"Wales was the first country to appoint a children's commissioner to speak up for children and to provide scrutiny and challenge to everyone with responsibility for safeguarding children."

Please summarize the following text. | Some three in four patients are not given enough information on coping with long-term effects of the illness, its report with a leading charity suggests.
It calls for care targeting patients' financial, mental and physical needs.
Health minister Anna Soubry urged the NHS in England and local NHS teams to take "urgent action".
The call comes as a national survey of cancer survivors indicated about a quarter of people were feeling isolated after being treated for the illness - according to the DoH.
And almost 30% said they had numerous issues that were not being addressed, including fears about their cancer spreading.
Macmillan Cancer Support, which helped develop proposals for a recovery plan, estimated that about 200,000 people were not getting a package of support following their treatment.
Nor were they being told how to contact someone outside of routine follow-ups if they had any problems.
The group's report calls for a recovery package that would provide a checklist for doctors and nurses to assess what emotional, physical and practical needs a patient might have after their treatment has ended.
This would include referrals to mental health or social services, as well as advice about financial support.
Care plans would also point patients towards physical activity services to help them regain their strength and fitness.
Public health minister Anna Soubry said there were currently about 1.8m people who were being or had been treated for cancer - a figure set to rise to 3.4m by 2030.
"This joint document calls on NHS England and local NHS teams to take urgent action and consider our recommendations when they provide cancer services based on their local community's needs.
"Whether it's specialist help to get back to work, or being recommended to do a physical activity group, local NHS teams need to consider providing a new range of care services for cancer survivors to tackle their needs and improve their quality of life."
Ciaran Devane, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, said that many cancer patients were crying out for this type of personalised support.
"If the NHS does one thing for cancer survivors it should be to commission this recovery package for its local population.
"We also need to keep on top of how cancer patients' quality of life is affected long-term."
Dr Frances Goodhart, a consultant clinical psychologist who works with cancer patients, said people needed to be given a realistic understanding of what recovery would involve, adding: "So often people are sent home with a message of just go home, pick up the pieces, make up for lost time - and actually, as we know, the consequences of cancer treatment are far more complicated."
Macmillan spokeswoman Nicola Cook added that regular contact with doctors was key to improving the system.
"We want GPs to be starting to have a much closer conversation and relationship with the cancer patient so that they're taking that information and they're seeing their GP say every three months - and the GP's asking them how things are.
"How are things at home? How's life at home? How's your marriage? How's your relationship? Are financial worries a concern? How's your mood? And so it's about having that community support in place by the GP and by other services so that people can live their life." | All cancer patients should receive a "recovery package" at the end of their treatment offering ongoing support, the Department of Health (DoH) has said. |

A report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons found safety at HMP Wormwood Scrubs had deteriorated since a previous probe raised serious concerns.
The jail had "levels of Dickensian squalor", the Prison Reform Trust said.
The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) said the prison had "moved forward" since the inspection.
Two inmates at the west London jail who were deemed to be at risk of suicide or self-harm were found to be in cells in which jagged glass remained in a broken window.
Some prisoners used a torn sheet as a makeshift toilet screen, while others stuffed paper in to broken windows to "keep out the weather", the report found.
Inspectors said they saw rats "every day and night"of their visit, and one in five prisoners said they felt unsafe.
Chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, said: "Wormwood Scrubs is a prison that continues to fall short of expected standards, and at the time of our inspection there was little cause for optimism."
Michael Spurr, CEO of NOMS, said the "old, crowded" jail was "challenging to run" but changes were being made.
"Since the inspection the prison is cleaner; more prisoners are going to activities; violence is being tackled; and better support is being provided to vulnerable prisoners", he said.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust said: "This shattering report on London's best-known Victorian jail reveals levels of Dickensian squalor which ought to have been consigned to the history books."
The government previously announced plans to close Victorian jails and build nine new prisons, but only HMP Holloway has been confirmed as facing closure.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | But higher fuel costs meant the rise was not as strong as in October, when annual retail sales growth hit a 14-year high of 7.2%.
Monthly sales in November rose 0.2%, compared to October's increase of 1.8%.
The data showed annual fuel sales hit a two-year low last month as fuel prices rose at the fastest rate since 2011.
Figures released earlier this week revealed that rising fuel prices had contributed to a rise in the inflation rate in November, which climbed to a two-year high of 1.2%.
Paul Sirani, chief market analyst at Xtrade, said: "The retail sector has been in fine fettle since Brexit and, although [Thursday's] figures are not as strong as October's, there is plenty of reason to believe that shoppers will continue to spend well over the festive period."
But he added: "The forecast for rising inflation next year is a big worry for consumers. Prices look set to soar in 2017 and households could be put under huge strain."
Kate Davies, senior statistician at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which compiled the retail sales figures, said: "Retailers saw continued growth in the run up to Christmas.
"Department stores and household goods stores had a particularly strong month, especially in sales of electronic goods, boosted by 'Black Friday' deals."
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, said November's data indicated that fourth quarter retail sales were running 2.1% ahead of the previous three months.
However, he warned that falling construction output and industrial production could prevent GDP reaching the 0.5% growth recorded in the third quarter of the year.
He also noted that consumer spending is likely to come under pressure.
"Evidence suggests that spending is currently being driven at least in part by historically high levels of employment and rising wages.
"However, this looks set to change next year, when the combination of higher inflation and weak pay growth are likely to curb consumer spending."

Mr Virdi and his supporters claim the inquiry was maliciously motivated. Scotland Yard has denied the claims.
Tory MP Sir Peter Bottomley has written to Mrs May asking to discuss the case.
Sir Peter, who campaigns against race discrimination, said "malice" and "incompetence" may have played a part in the police investigation.
It took a jury less than an hour to clear Mr Virdi, 56, of Hounslow, west London, last month at Southwark Crown Court.
He had been accused of indecent assault and misconduct in a public office following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
Mr Virdi, who served in the Met for 30 years, claimed the force's investigation into the allegations was part of a "vendetta" against him.
He said: "The Met has continually campaigned to discredit me. It's twice they've tried to put me in prison and twice they've been criticised."
He also claimed there was "a culture within the Met which is racist and attacks people who tell the truth".
He was sacked in 2000 for allegedly sending racist hate mail, only to be reinstated and awarded £240,000 compensation after an employment tribunal ruled he had been the victim of racism.
During the trial, Mr Virdi accused the Met of bringing the criminal case against him as part of a 17-year campaign to "hound" him out of the force.
The retired detective claimed the police tried to discredit him after he gave evidence to the Stephen Lawrence inquiry about racism within the police force.

Summarize this article briefly. | The spirited visitors started brightly but their former goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi denied Shola Ameobi, Mark Davies and Darren Pratley.
A defensive error then saw Lucas Piazon put the Royals ahead before Williams fired low into the net from 25 yards.
Liam Feeney's 80th-minute penalty made it 2-1 but the hosts held on.
Reading's win came a day after manager Steve Clarke had committed his future to the club following interest from Championship rivals Fulham.
It looked like it could be a frustrating day for the hosts with Ameobi having a header saved by Al-Habsi early on before the Royals' keeper then blocked a Davies effort.
The Oman international then pulled off a third crucial save to keep out Pratley's header.
Those three interventions proved vital as Reading's patience was rewarded when a defensive mistake saw Piazon block the attempted clearance of Prince-Desir Gouano before lifting the ball over Ben Amos and into the empty net.
That goal seemed to change the momentum of the game as, after Oliver Norwood tested the palms of Amos, Williams then struck a low shot from 25 yards to make it 2-0 at the break.
Bolton started the second half in similar fashion to the first as Ameobi again went close, this time hitting the crossbar with another header.
Amos then did well to deny Nick Blackman, tipping his volley over the bar before Williams volleyed wide at the other end from outside the box.
And, just moments later, Bolton reduced the deficit through Feeney's penalty after Pratley was brought down in the box by Norwood.

Summarize the content provided below. | The shadow health secretary pledged to bring an "end to fragmentation and privatisation".
Left-wing candidate Jeremy Corbyn has already committed himself to returning the railways to public ownership.
Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are the other candidates hoping to replace Ed Miliband on 12 September.
British Rail was privatised under John Major's Conservative government.
Going into the general election Labour promised to review the current franchising system, under which the different rail routes are allocated on a competitive tender basis, and to allow public sector organisations to bid.
A YouGov survey in May 2014 suggested that the public supported renationalisation by a margin of 60% - 20%.
Mr Burnham recently called for "more public control and ownership of the railways".
His campaign manifesto will set out more detail, committing Labour to "a policy of progressive re-nationalisation of our railways". There would also be increased regulation of the bus network.
"We need a new approach to our railways, one that puts passengers before profit. That's why I will work to bring the railways back under public control and public ownership," he will say in his manifesto.
At-a-glance profiles of the four contenders
Mr Burnham criticised the decision to return the East Coast mainline route - which had been publicly run since 2009 - to the private sector earlier this year.
The move was opposed by Labour at the time but was hailed by the government as a "fantastic deal for passengers".
Mr Burnham's pledge comes after Mr Corbyn went from an outsider to a frontrunner in the leadership election, topping an opinion poll and winning more constituency party nominations than any other candidate.
This has led to warnings from some senior figures within the party about a shift to the left.
As well as backing rail renationalisation, the Islington North MP also supports a publicly-run service delivering energy supplies.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The band had been at number four in the midweek charts, as newcomers Wolf Alice outsold the competition with their debut, My Love Is Cool.
But in the end, Florence won the race by just 528 copies.
Their album, How Big How Blue How Beautiful, had previously debuted at number one last month.
Led by singer Florence Welch, the band were promoted to Glastonbury headliners two weeks ago when Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg.
Their Pyramid Stage set was rapturously received, with the Telegraph's Neil McCormick calling it "a real moment of rock communion" and "pop music of the very highest order".
Wolf Alice, a four-piece led by singer and guitarist Ellie Roswell, also played Glastonbury this weekend, playing a blistering set on the Park Stage.
Their record was the only new entry in the top five, with last week's number one - Drones by Muse - dropping to third place; and Taylor Swift's 1989 climbing to number four after a week of shows in the UK.
Ed Sheeran's X was at number five, racking up an impressive 53 consecutive weeks in the Top 10, while art-pop quartet Everything Everything earned their second Top 10 album with Get To Heaven landing at number seven.
In the singles chart, rapper Tinie Tempah scored his sixth number one with Not Letting Go, a duet with Jess Glynne.
The song, which the star says was inspired by a "romance I had last summer," is his first solo number one in five years, after his second album failed to reach the heights of his debut.
However, he has remained in the limelight with chart-topping verses on Rita Ora's RIP and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's Crazy Stupid Love.
Tinie Tempah's single dethroned Jason Derulo, whose single Want To Want Me had been number one for four weeks.
The US artist dropped to number three, behind Belgian dance producer Lost Frequencies, who rose 44 places to enter the chart at number 2, with Are You With Me.
Other new entries came from Flo Rida, James Bay, Duke Dumont and former X Factor contestants Stereo Kicks.

He and another man Mohammed Rahman, indicated they would plead not guilty.
Anjem Choudary was remanded in custody until 28 August.
Both men have each been charged with one offence under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000, alleged to have taken place between 29 June 2014 and 6 March this year.
The BBC's Simon Jones, reporting from outside the court, said that when asked by the judge to give an indication of how he would be pleading Choudary said: "Cameron and the police are guilty."
The judge replied to say he took that to mean he would be pleading not guilty.
Mr Choudary 48, was described in court as a "high-profile figure" in the media and on social media.
The court also heard that the charge is related to him sending messages to his followers on social media.
Mr Choudary, of Ilford in east London, and Mohammed Rahman, 32, of Whitechapel in east London, were arrested on 25 September last year on suspicion of being members of IS, which is a proscribed organisation.
Proscription means membership of the militant group is a criminal offence, and that the organisation cannot lawfully operate in the UK.
Sue Hemming, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for Isis [also known as IS] in individual lectures which were subsequently published online."
Mr Choudary is the former UK head of Islamist group al-Muhajiroun - also known as Islam4UK - which was banned in 2010.
The former lawyer planned an Islam4UK march through Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, to honour Muslims killed in the Afghanistan conflict, but those plans were later scrapped.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Only a late goal from Isma Goncalves saved Hearts from defeat within the 90 minutes, but the Championship visitors won 3-1 on penalties.
Even a win in the shoot-out would not have been enough for Hearts, who needed all three points to progress.
"Of course things need to improve," Cathro, 31, told BBC Scotland.
"It's important that today we just talk about today's game. It doesn't need to be anything that's more grand than that."
Don Cowie's opener for Hearts was cancelled out by Joe Cardle's stylish finish.
Declan McManus fired the Pars in front before Goncalves' scrambled equaliser.
The result means Hearts finish third in Group B behind the Pars and Peterhead, who beat Cathro's side in midweek.
That adds to the growing pressure on the former Rio Ave, Valencia and Newcastle coach, who was appointed as Robbie Neilson's replacement in December when the Edinburgh club were third in the Scottish Premiership.
They missed out on a place in the Europa League with a fifth-placed finish last season, while a Scottish Cup defeat by city rivals Hibernian also did not endear him to supporters.
Cathro has lost half of his 30 games in charge and won just eight of them.
When asked if he had a message for the fans who made their feelings known as Cathro headed down the tunnel following the Dunfermline defeat, he said he will "not waste my time making comments or asking for anything".
He added: "I don't say anything, I will quietly continue to do my job professionally, believing in the work that we do.
"If we had the urgency and intensity that we did when we felt that we needed to push at the end for the entirety of the 90 minutes then we'd be discussing a different situation.
"Earlier in the game we were playing reasonably well, we scored a good goal. Dunfermline did well and it's a good individual goal.
"After that we started to be below the levels that we needed to be at. John Souttar is involved in an error for the goal but I take responsibility for that. I think John should have come off at half-time."

Write a summary of this document. | Porn industry representatives argued that condoms were a turn-off for viewers and could destroy the industry.
They warned such a ruling in favour of condoms could lead to actors also being required to wear safety goggles and dental dams.
Performers are currently required to be tested every two weeks for STDs.
The vote came after the Aids Healthcare Foundation lobbied California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health's Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) for stricter workplace safety rules in porn.
But industry representatives also said making actors wear condoms could push the industry underground, where health risks would be greater.
They also said stricter safety provisions could be interpreted as requiring sex workers to ensure their eyes were protected from infection by blood-borne pathogens by wearing goggles like those worn by doctors.
Such a requirement would spell the end of many porn film scenes, they said.
"When you criminalise sex work in any way, you make it more dangerous," said said porn actress and journalist SiouxsieQ.
However, the porn trade association the Free Speech Coalition said it was keen to work with officials to create acceptable safety standards.
Condoms are already required to be worn for porn films made in Los Angeles County under rules approved by voters in 2012.
Californians will vote on whether to extend that requirement across the state in November. | California work safety officials have voted against forcing porn actors to wear condoms to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). |

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The consultancy Eunomia says waste companies constructing new incinerators will need waste to feed them.
And that could reduce Britain’s stated ambition to recycle more waste.
A government spokesman said "great progress" had been made in boosting recycling rates.
But Eunomia’s report says current trends in building incinerators will make a mockery of the ambition of Environment Secretary Michael Gove to achieve a “green Brexit”.
Since 2009/10, it says, the UK has more than doubled its capacity for burning what is known as residual waste – what is left over after recycling.
Capacity to burn it has risen from 6.3 million tonnes to 13.5 million tonnes.
But over the same period, the quantity of residual waste has fallen from an estimated 30 million tonnes per annum to 26 million.
That is because of increased recycling coupled with a reduction in commercial waste as firms strive to be more environmentally responsible.
That means the UK is building more incinerators which will be chasing a shrinking mountain of waste.
Eunomia says this flies in the face of the ambition to achieve a “circular economy” – re-using or recycling as much waste as possible. It says the UK is expected to retain this EU objective even after Brexit.
It points out that the government is currently developing its draft industrial strategy from January 2017.
That aims to “secure the economic benefits of the transition to a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy”.
Eunomia’s Dominic Hogg accused the government of withdrawing from waste and resources policy over the last seven years.
This has led, he says, to the rate of improvement in recycling slowing down, and then going into reverse in England.
Mr Hogg said: “The most significant changes in recent years have been the switch from landfilling of waste to incinerating it. This reflects a complete absence of ambition, and gives rise to costs that are not justified by the benefits."
“Are we leaving the EU so that we can regain the tag of ‘the dirty man of Europe?'”
He pointed out that it used to appear environmentally beneficial to burn waste rather than coal. But now the UK’s energy stock is cleaner, incineration looks an increasingly dirty option.
A Defra spokesperson said: "We have made great progress in boosting recycling rates. This includes the proportion of household waste being recycled increasing from 11% to 44% between 2000 and 2015."
"We recognise the need for a mix of infrastructure and this will form part of a renewed strategy on waste and resources that looks ahead to opportunities outside the EU."

Give a short summary of the provided document. | "Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help," he tweeted on Friday.
More than 760 people were killed in Chicago in 2016, a 58% increase from the previous year and more than the number of New York and Los Angeles murders combined. The city also saw more than 4,300 people shot.
This year Chicago police have pointed to some progress in the first half of 2017 - a 14% drop in shootings. But the murder rate remains largely unchanged.
So what can the president do to help?
City officials on Friday announced the creation of the Chicago Gun Strike Force, comprised of city police officers, Illinois state troopers, federal agents and intelligence research specialists.
The Trump administration sent an additional 20 permanent agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), "reallocating federal prosecutors and prioritising prosecutions to reduce gun violence", according to a Department of Justice statement.
An estimated 40 ATF agents have already been working with local and state police on reducing gun violence in Chicago.
Police also announced the bureau would lend the city a mobile ballistics lab during the summer months, when shootings and murders tend to spike.
The specialised team will work to curb the flow of illegal guns as well as with state and federal prosecutors to target repeat gun offenders, who authorities say are responsible for the city's violence problem.
The Chicago Police Department estimates 60% of guns recovered at crime scenes in the city between 2009 and 2013 were first purchased outside of Illinois, according to a 2014 report. Nearly 20% came from Indiana, where gun laws have made it relatively easy to obtain illegal weapons.
According to Indiana law, federally licensed gun dealers are required to perform standard background checks, but vendors are not when it comes to private sales or selling at gun shows.
The city has recovered an illegal handgun for every hour of 2016 - more than 6,000 - Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has previously said.
A lot of the violence is driven by the social disadvantages that have scarred many of the low-income minority neighbourhoods in the past, said Robert J Sampson, a Harvard professor and the author of Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect.
It is these distressed communities, he added, where the spike in homicides mostly occurs.
One of the biggest contributing factors to crime is Chicago's housing crisis in these concentrated areas, said Lance Williams, the associate director of the Jacob H Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies at Northeastern Illinois University.
The Trump administration could require developers who receive government subsidies to incorporate low-income housing in some of the new building cropping up in the South and West Loop neighbourhoods, or provide vouchers to displaced families, Mr Williams suggested.
To reduce the stress, federal officials could also work with the city to create rent caps for low-income families as more young, white affluent resident move to those parts of the city, he added.
"Whenever there is unstable housing, you're going to find kids unable to perform in school," Mr Williams said.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is entangled in a state budget battle that resulted in it borrowing more than $300m (£231m) to pay the teacher's pension fund and to keep the doors open through the end of the school year.
While CPS faces cuts and more financial turmoil, the federal government could assist by providing more resources for afterschool programmes that focus on violence intervention, improving social responses and job training to help make young people more competitive in the job market.
In fact, the University of Chicago Crime Lab found a 43% reduction in violent crime arrests for youths who obtained eight-week, part-time employment through its One Summer Chicago Plus jobs programme, compared with young people who did not participate.
"Even prior to creating jobs, you're going to need some social skills training and basic support for these kids to make them employable," Mr Williams added.
Joblessness is dire among the city's youth, especially for African Americans males in Chicago's racially segregated neighbourhoods that also have high rates of poverty and crime.
According to recent report published by the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago, 47% of 20- to 24-year-old black men in Chicago were out of school and unemployed in 2014 compared with 20% of Hispanic men and 10% of white men in the same age group.
The report looked at the lost tax revenue that resulted in urban youth unemployment and found that the federal and state governments lose nearly $9.5bn in potential taxes.
John Hagedorn, a criminology professor at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), told the BBC the Trump administration could help by addressing the desperation the city's youth are facing.
Part of the president's trillion-dollar infrastructure plan could include targeting Chicago's areas of concentrated crime.
The government could hire local residents as part of a large-scale public works project to rebuild the housing and infrastructure in these areas, similar to what the US did after the Great Depression, he added.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and congresswoman Robin Kelly have introduced a measure that would offer tax breaks to businesses who hire at-risk youth and provide grants to local communities to promote job opportunities for the youth.
Putting more police on the ground will not stop the bloodshed, said Mr Williams.
Instead, the city should be focusing on improving community relations and restoring public trust after fallout over a video released showing the police shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2014.
The Trump administration could assist by funding better police training and supporting programmes that bolster police-community relations.
Along with targeting more gun traffickers, the justice department could focus on police accountability and prosecuting officers in cases of unlawful use of deadly force, Mr Hagedorn added.
"If you want cooperation you have to demonstrate some good faith, and there hasn't been much from Chicago police," he added.
"More than bringing in a task force and saying it's guns or drugs, we need a little bit more of an understanding of what's actually going on."

Give a brief summary of the following article. | The 60kg calf named Bonnie was born at the park, near Stirling, following a 16-month pregnancy.
Keepers said the birth marked an important step in the work to save the species from extinction.
Southern white rhinos, native to the south of Africa, are currently listed as near-threatened on the IUCN red list of endangered species.
The calf is the fifth to be born at the park to mother Dot and father Graham, both aged 16.
Animal collection manager Sheila Walker said: "The birth was very straightforward and the calf was up on its feet and suckling in just over an hour.
"Dot is a great mum and very experienced, having successfully raised four calves previously. She was even giving gentle nudges, encouraging the calf to its feet - but it managed all by itself, albeit a bit wobbly at first."
Despite its endangered listing, the white rhino has fared far better than its northern counterpart, which was declared extinct in the wild in 2008. About 18,000 southern white rhinos remain in the wild.
The animal's decline has been blamed on poaching in Africa. Blair Drummond said it was committed to doing its bit to help save the species from extinction.
Ailsa McCormick, head keeper of the park's large mammals, said: "The calf is of big importance to the endangered species breeding programme, and I'm delighted to oversee Dot and Graham's continued part in ensuring a strong viable insurance population for southern white rhinos.
"This calf is their fifth, and being grandparents at 16 years old, Dot and Graham's latest calf is a big feather in the cap for the ongoing conservation efforts made by Blair Drummond."
The park said it had been receiving messages from well-wishers after people viewed the birth live via a webcam.

Taylor is expected to challenge Uruguay's WBA world lightweight champion Cecilia Comunales later this year after stopping Nina Meinke of Germany in April's Wembley eliminator.
The 20-year-old, the son of former Hammers, Newcastle and England midfielder Rob Lee, had a loan spell at Luton's League Two rivals Southend United earlier this season.
But he was injured just 95 minutes into a training session with the Shrimpers and returned to Upton Park.
Lee has made two substitute appearances for West Ham and was on loan at Colchester United last season.
Southend boss Phil Brown had wanted Lee to return to Roots Hall, but he has instead joined their fellow promotion contenders. | A southern white rhino has given birth to a female calf at Blair Drummond Safari Park.

Summarize the information in the following section. | The US and countries with competing claims in the area maintain that China is creating artificial islands to use as military bases.
The ministry says they are for defence, but also maritime search and rescue, disaster relief and research.
China claims most of the South China Sea.
Last year, China increased its land reclamation activity prompting the US in May to call for an "immediate and lasting halt" to land reclamation in disputed areas of the South China Sea.
There has also been a spike in tensions between the US military and Chinese navy near the Spratlys in recent weeks.
In the statement on Tuesday, China did not give a timeframe or identify which of the seven reefs undergoing land reclamation would be finished soon.
"China will complete its reclamation project soon as part of its South China Sea construction in parts of the Nansha islands," the foreign ministry said using the Chinese name for the Spratlys.
Once the land reclamation is complete, building would begin on facilities that can "fulfil the relevant functions", the statement said.
Police were first alerted by reports of a loud bang in the Skeoge Road area at 23:45 BST on Tuesday.
On Wednesday evening, officers confirmed it was a "viable explosive device" that had detonated.
A police officer said it had "all the hallmarks" of a dissident republican attack.
"Those who left this device showed no regard for the safety of anyone in the area," said Supt Mark McEwan.
"The device was left in a waste bin, and shrapnel from it could have killed or seriously injured anyone close by."
Sinn Féin assembly member Raymond McCartney said: "This was a bomb in a very open space, used by vehicles and pedestrians, and my disgust is shared by many, many people in the area."
The Skeoge Road was closed between the Glengalliagh roundabout and the Buncrana Road for most of Wednesday while Army bomb experts carried out tests and the area was searched. | China will complete a series of controversial land reclamation projects in the South China Sea "soon", the foreign ministry says.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The £60m plant planned for Desborough will burn landfill waste and convert it into heat and power.
Origin Renewable Energy, the company behind the plan, said it was a clean way to dispose of waste.
Protesters from Fresh Air Desborough said the plant emissions would be unsafe and added they would "fight on".
Councillors backed the plans after hearing speakers both for and against the project at County Hall in Northampton.
The campaign group's Alan Brooks said: "This technology is relatively new and has not been proven so we intend to fight on.
By Willy GilderPolitical reporter, BBC Northampton
We all have our recycling bins and boxes, and local authorities are trying to get us to sort out our waste as much as possible.
But, inevitably, each household will end up throwing out some "residual waste".
At the moment this goes to landfill. But the sites are filling up, and the cost of landfill taxes is steadily rising.
Gasification is seen as one answer to this problem.
Enthusiasts believe it is a safe way to heat local premises whilst disposing of waste, but local residents remain to be convinced.
They are concerned that emissions could be harmful to health, and say they're worried about the long-term ill effects.
"We are not sure how this will affect our families and children, especially in 20 years time.
"We wanted assurances that it would be safe but the company has not been able to give any guarantees."
The 1.7 hectare (4.2 acres) facility will be built off Eagle Drive near Magnetic Park in the town, which is 300 metres away from a housing estate.
It would generate power by a process known as advanced gasification, where household waste is turned into gas and burnt to provide electricity.
Origin Renewable Energy submitted the plans to the council in July.
Adam Buxton, the firm's managing director, said: "We are sympathetic to people's concerns but we can't please everyone.
"This plant would be of benefit to the people of Desborough and the county. People would have access to sustainable and cheaper forms of heat and power."
Construction work will start on the project in 2013 with completion expected in 2015, the company said.
The company will need to apply for a permit from the Environment Agency before starting operations.
Two more cycle routes have also been proposed linking Bloomsbury to the West End and Farringdon to King's Cross.
Other proposals include banning rush-hour traffic from Regent's Park in support of cyclists.
Mayor Boris Johnson said the plans would ensure London's "cycling revolution" continues.
Further details have also been released on existing plans for two cycle-superhighways approved in February last year - one running 18 miles from Barking to Acton and the other between Kings Cross and Elephant and Castle.
The new cycle track on the Westway would take up one of six existing traffic lanes on the flyover between Westbourne Bridge and Wood Lane, White City.
It would be separated from traffic by a concrete barrier topped with a glass panel, which the Mayor said would also reduce traffic noise and pollution for residents on the north side of the flyover.
Once the links are complete, cyclists would be able to ride from Swiss Cottage and Camden Town to Canary Wharf, Barking or Elephant & Castle entirely on separated cycle tracks or low-traffic streets, according to the Mayor's office.
The mayor's vision for cycling in London has met with opposition from some quarters.
In January the London Taxi Drivers Association launched a judicial review opposing the mayor's plans for a £47m Westbourne Grove to Tower Hill cycle route.
Responding to the proposed Westway cycle route, the association tweeted: "Awaiting the judgement on our Judicial Review on CSH [Cycle Super Highway]. We will challenge this scheme in every way possible incl(uding) through the court."

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | In a rare interview, Michel Bacos, 92, said a Palestinian opened fire on hostages when commandos stormed the terminal in Entebbe on 3 July 1976.
It was previously understood no hostages were murdered by the captors.
Israeli forces freed 105 hostages in a surprise raid, killing about eight hostage-takers and 20 Ugandan troops.
One hostage, Jean-Jacques Mimouni, was mistaken for a hostage-taker and shot dead by a commando. Another, Pasco Cohen, also died after being accidentally shot by one of the Israeli soldiers.
Speaking from his home in Nice, France, Capt Bacos said the third hostage who lost her life, Ida Borochovich, was killed in front of him by a hostage-taker.
"When the raid started, a Palestinian came and started firing on the hostages. The woman was on the floor next to him by the entrance and he shot her. For sure she was killed."
Capt Bacos said, earlier in the week, that one of two Germans who, along with two Palestinians, hijacked his Air France plane, had told him: "If anyone tries to save the hostages, we'll know first and we'll shoot all of you."
In the event, the hijacker, Wilfried Boese, did not turn his gun on the hostages when the commandos fought their way into the building. He was shot dead in an exchange of fire.
"The noise was loud but after a few moments somebody said: 'There are Israeli soldiers here.'
"I lifted my head and I saw a soldier dressed like a member of the Ugandan army with a white hat - and he said in Hebrew: 'Listen, guys, we've come to take you home.'
"I didn't believe what I was seeing, even now I can't describe it - seeing the soldier, it was as if an angel had come down from the sky."

On the third day of the crisis, the hostage-takers separated the Israeli and non-Israeli Jewish passengers from the rest of the passengers, who were allowed to leave.
Capt Bacos and his crew of 12 were offered the chance to go, but refused to leave while people were still being held.
"I was a captain of Air France and before that I was in the Free French Forces under [Charles] de Gaulle during the [Second World] War - it would be impossible for me to leave my passengers, unimaginable," he said.
"I told my crew that we must stay until the end, because that was our tradition, so we cannot accept being freed. All my crew agreed without exception."
The Air France airbus was hijacked on 27 June and flown to Entebbe, where at least three Palestinian accomplices were waiting at the airport.
They demanded the release of 54 militants held by Israel and four other countries, and a $5m ransom.
Capt Bacos, his crew and the rescued passengers were flown back to Israel on 4 July, hours after the night-time operation. He was later awarded the Legion d'honneur, France's highest civilian decoration, for his actions during the crisis.
A fourth hostage, Dora Bloch, who had been taken to hospital before the raid, was murdered on the orders of Ugandan President Idi Amin the day after the Israeli rescue. | The French captain of a hijacked plane at the centre of a famed Israeli rescue operation has described how he saw a passenger killed by a hostage-taker. |
What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Twitter user Olly Gibbs has. And so, during a recent visit to Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, he came up with a solution to brighten up some of the portraits.
It involved FaceApp - which uses facial recognition software to make a person's face look older, younger, or even a different gender.
One other thing it can do, though, is make a person smile.
"The idea started in the tower of the Old Church," he told Dutch newspaper deVerdieping Trouw.
"I took a picture with my girlfriend of the beautiful view over Amsterdam, but I laughed because I'm afraid of heights. She said that there was an app that my grimace could be transformed into a brilliant smile."
You can guess what happened next.
The couple then visited the Rijksmuseum and had the idea they could apply the same smiles to some of the less than happy faces on display.
"They looked like me on that tower... [so] my girlfriend then thought it would be fun to use the app to cheer them a little," Olly said.
"We then had a lot of time in the museum and walked around to find the most grumpy faces."
As anyone who's ever seen a portrait can confirm, finding grumpy-looking faces was not difficult.
Olly had a wealth of material to choose from, and didn't even limit himself to paintings. Why not apply it to sculptures too?
Olly told the newspaper he'd be happy if the craze helped attract more people to museums.

World heritage sites, ancient monuments, cultural traditions, myths and legends will be the focus of the 12 month long programme.
VisitScotland said it would throw the spotlight on some of Scotland's greatest assets and its hidden gems.
The line-up was unveiled by Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop in Edinburgh.
It includes:
Ms Hyslop said the programme of nine events were being supported by £300,000 in funding.
She added: "As well as our history of many well-known stories and famous, indeed some infamous, historical characters, next year will also give us an excellent opportunity to focus on Scotland's world-renowned archaeology, enticing visitors and locals alike to visit not only our known iconic landmarks with their thousands of years of history, but also our many hidden gems."
More than a third of Scotland's tourists visit the country for its history, according to VisitScotland.
It said ancestral tourism is worth around £101m to the Scottish economy.
Malcolm Roughead, the chief executive of Scotland's tourism agency said: "Scotland is the land where great legends were made throughout history, and so it is only apt that we should have such a unique line-up of events and activities for the 2017 Year of History Heritage and Archaeology.
"We know for a fact that visitors come to Scotland in their droves to experience its heritage whether that's visiting a castle, exploring a battlefield or tracing ancestral roots.
"From World Heritage Sites to ancient monuments, cultural traditions to our myths, stories and legends - the year-long programme will spotlight some of our greatest assets and icons as well as our hidden gems.
"We look forward to delving into Scotland's past with visitors and locals alike and coming face to face with history, heritage and archaeology across the country."
In addition to the nine events unveiled on Wednesday, a much wider programme will fall under the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology banner.
They include Scot:Lands, an adventurous journey across Edinburgh on New Years Day; Celtic Connections; various Burns Night celebrations; and family friendly "moments in time" installation at Edinburgh's International Science Festival in April.
A £500,000 fund from the Heritage Lottery Fund will also be used to encourage people across Scotland uncover and celebrate their local history, customs and traditions.
The fund's head, Lucy Casot, said: "Our ambition next year is that everyone, young and old, will have the chance to discover something new about the rich tapestry that makes Scotland, Scotland.
"The door to fun, discovery and learning will be opened wide welcoming in locals and visitors alike.
"Whether its enjoying one of these incredible Signature celebrations, or getting involved in one of the many community-level projects, funded through the National Lottery, 2017 is up shaping up to be an exciting celebration of our shared identity and we are delighted to be a key part of that." | The last 16 of the FA Cup - eight ties, each including a Premier League side up against lower-league opposition.

Can you summarize the following information? | Him again. Him that always seems to have a say in these games against Derek McInnes' team, him that had already scored three times in this fixture this season, him that brought up the treble in the most dramatic way.
Rogic, in running at Andy Considine, was at a major advantage. Considine, like many of his team-mates, was a weary soul, a fighter who had given everything he could and who was now living on the ropes and hoping for a miracle. The boxing analogy is not out of place.
This was toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow for the longest time. Then, it was a one-way pummelling, Celtic on the front foot but the Dons refusing to go down.
The Australian went by the spent Considine like he wasn't there, then fired in the winner that brought an end to a great final and a heroic resistance.
The Dons can't chastise themselves. They can't really have regrets. They met a special team and took them to the wire. This was one of the great cup finals.
Aberdeen's pre-match checklist would have been long, their must-dos stretching down one page and on to another. They had to have an inspired goalkeeper - and they did.
They had to have a brave defence - and they had. They needed a rugged midfield capable of upsetting Celtic's totem, Scott Brown, and shaking them out of their natural rhythm - they had that, too. And they needed the first goal - that was theirs as well.
The underdogs were fired up, no question. Fired up by five-straight losses to Celtic, fired up by the memory of their limp surrender to Brendan Rodgers' team in November's League Cup final and the wretchedness of the opening stages of their last meeting, when Celtic scored three times in the first 11 minutes.
When Jonny Hayes rifled in the first goal, there was an edge and energy about Aberdeen that made you shift forward in your seat. Before kick-off, they were 6-1 to win, but not now.
Another of the things on McInnes' list of must-haves was luck - and they got a chunk of it when Jayden Stockley, sent off for catching opponents with his arms earlier this season, avoided censure after connecting with Kieran Tierney.
Stockley pleaded innocence but his previous made you doubt him. He got away with it. Tierney, alas, did not. He left the field with a bloodied mouth.
His manager said later that he might need surgery. Scotland coach Gordon Strachan may have winced as surely as Rodgers in these moments. Scotland versus England is only two weeks away.
What every neutral wanted from this cup final was a contest, a game that put Celtic under the cosh and forced them to fight. We got it.
The champions, who levelled through Stuart Armstrong, had to dig deep and it was because they had to go to a place they have so infrequently gone to this season that made this all the more joyous for them. They were drawn into a game that tested not just their ability but their fitness and their heart, and they came through.
Some of the Aberdeen players sank to their knees on the full-time whistle. One or two did what they steadfastly refused to do all day and lay down and played dead on the pitch. They were broken.
Through the disappointment, McInnes saw hope. There are stories linking him to the Sunderland manager's position right now, but in the aftermath of the final he didn't sound like a man who was going anywhere bar back to Aberdeen to rebuild and come again.
There is a job to be done. Ryan Jack has played his last game for the club. So, too, Niall McGinn and Peter Pawlett. Nobody is expecting Ash Taylor to be around either. Meanwhile, Kenny McLean is said to be wanted by QPR. There's no surprise there. McLean is a fine footballer. Holding on to him is a thumping priority.
McInnes will comfort himself in the fact that Celtic surely can't have the same domestic dominance next season as they've had this campaign, that in the pursuit of progress in Europe they will show a little weakness at home. If that's the case - still a big if - then he'll bank on his team remaining in the box-seat to take advantage.
He has a big summer ahead, a summer when new players must be found on a budget, players who can build on what was, yes, a trophy-less campaign, a season of seconds, but one to be proud of all the same.
No Aberdeen supporter went skipping out of Hampden, but they retreated knowing that their team emptied themselves out there. Against these Celtic boys, sometimes everything is still not enough. | More than 90 minutes had been played in this epic Scottish Cup final when Celtic's Tom Rogic went at Aberdeen, like some vision of a footballing apocalypse to a jaded Dons defence. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The crash happened on South Gyle Broadway at 09:55. The road is closed. Police Scotland is appealing for witnesses.
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Three male patients were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
"We dispatched three ambulances and a paramedic response unit to the scene."
The Uzbek Foreign Minister, Abdulaziz Kamilov, said information about Rakhmat Akilov had been "passed to one of our Western partners, so that the Swedish side could be informed".
It is rare for the Uzbek authorities to disclose such intelligence details.
Mr Akilov has confessed to the crime.
The Swedish security service says it can neither confirm nor deny receiving such information from Uzbekistan.
Mr Akilov, 39, left Uzbekistan for Sweden in 2014. He sought residency there, but in December 2016 he was told that he had four weeks to leave the country, police said.
He disappeared and, in February, was officially put on a wanted list.
Just hours after the attack last Friday he was arrested. At a court hearing he confessed to a "terrorist crime".
Four people were killed when a lorry was driven into a department store on one of Stockholm's busiest streets, Drottninggatan.
Mr Kamilov told a news conference that the suspect had "actively urged his compatriots to travel to Syria in order to fight for IS". Mr Akilov had used online messaging services, he said.
Earlier, an Uzbek security source quoted by the Reuters news agency said Mr Akilov himself had tried to travel to Syria in 2015 to fight for IS. However, he was stopped on the Turkey-Syria border and was sent back to Sweden.
No group has claimed to be behind the Stockholm attack.
Mr Akilov reportedly ran from the scene of the attack, still covered in blood and glass, and was arrested later in a northern suburb of Stockholm.
According to reports, he had left a wife and four children behind in Uzbekistan in order to earn money to send home.
The committee, which consists of all 40 MPs from Wales plus up to a handful of co-opted members, has not met since the general election in May. In fact, its last meeting was in July 2014, shortly after Stephen Crabb became secretary of state for Wales.
But now, be still your beating heart, the 'grand' is to be exhumed to allow MPs to discuss the UK government's devolution plans.
It follows a request from Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith, who told Mr Crabb in a letter that "people across Wales have grave concerns" about the draft Wales Bill.
"Lawyers and constitutional experts, as well as politicians from all parties, have said that the Bill is needlessly complex, open to legal challenges and will actually roll back the powers of the Welsh assembly.
"If Stephen Crabb is serious that he is in 'listening mode' he will convene the Welsh grand committee so that these concerns can be aired.
"The powers of our assembly are too important to be undermined by this Government's botched proposals."
The grand committee, occasionally known as the 'Welsh bland' has been derided as a talking shop and there have been attempts to kill it off for good.
But Mr Crabb is indeed in 'listening mode' in this season of goodwill to all, so there's something for all of us to look forward to during the two/four* week parliamentary recess.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Mr Megraw was one of the 16 murder victims who became known as the Disappeared.
His remains were found in a drainage ditch on Oristown bog, near Kells, by contractors called in to prepare the site for forensic excavations.
DNA tests have positively identified the remains as those of Mr Megraw.
The coroner for the city of Dublin has accepted this as evidence of identification and will shortly authorise the release of the remains to the family.
In a statement, Brendan Megraw's brother, Kieran, said the family are relieved that he has been found.
"He has been alone for nearly 40 years and now we can bring him home and lay him to rest with our mum and dad," he said.
"We want to thank all those who have supported us over the years."
He added: "Brendan was found because more information came in to refine the search area and we are hugely grateful for whoever provided it.
"We hope and pray that the suffering of those still waiting for the return of their loved ones will soon be brought to an end".
Mr Megraw was 23 when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA.
He had recently been married and was awaiting the birth of his daughter.
His kidnappers had drugged his wife, Marie, in their home as they waited for his return, and as they took him away they warned her not to worry or contact police.
The Megraw family were only told by the IRA in 1999 that he was one of the Disappeared and his body had been dumped on the bogland near the town of Kells in County Meath.
Three previous searches for Mr Megraw, the most recent in 2010, were unsuccessful.
The Disappeared were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitaries during the Troubles.
Separate searches have also taken place on bogland a few miles away from where Mr Megraw was buried in County Meath for the remains of Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright, both of whom were abducted by the IRA in October 1972.
It is also suspected Joseph Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk taken from the Beechmount area of west Belfast in the summer of 1972, was also buried somewhere in the region. | Human remains found in County Meath in October were those of IRA murder victim Brendan Megraw, it has been confirmed. |

Owners were unable to say when it might reopen but in a statement released on its website, the park said it had taken the decision not to put the tiger down.
"We are awaiting the findings of the investigation to fully understand what happened before we take further action on this matter," they said.
"If we receive regulatory or professional guidance to the contrary, we will review our position."

The Briton, 29, triumphed 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (11-9) in three hours and 38 minutes to reach his first season-ending final in London.
He will face Serbia's Novak Djokovic with the winner finishing as year-end world number one.
Djokovic swept past Japanese fifth seed Kei Nishikori 6-1 6-1 in his last four encounter.
The final is live on BBC Two, BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website from 18:00 GMT.
It is the first time the battle for the top spot has been fought in the final match of the season.
Murray's earlier victory over Canadian fourth seed Raonic extended the Scot's winning streak to a career-best 23 matches, stretching back to September.
It was Murray's second lengthy encounter in four days, breaking the tournament record of three hours and 20 minutes he took to beat Japan's Nishikori in the round-robin stage on Wednesday.
"I didn't expect to play a long one with someone with a serve like Milos," said Murray.
"I'm tired. I've played so much tennis over the last few months. I'll give it my best effort - the best of what I have."
Murray was yelling at himself and 17,000 spectators were screaming with every twist and turn before he finally prevailed in an extraordinary contest.
He twice failed to serve out the match as the clock ticked past three hours in the final set, and three match points then slipped by in the tie-break.
Raonic had lost his past seven matches against Murray, including the finals at Queen's Club and Wimbledon this year, but when his chance came with a match point of his own it was snuffed out by a sharp Murray volley.
Finally, at the fourth time of asking, Murray converted a match point to reach his first final at the O2 Arena and remain in control of his number one hopes.
"It was an amazing atmosphere," added Murray.
"The longer the match went on, the louder the crowd got. This is what we play for. Matches like this and arenas like this. This is one of hardest matches I've played indoors."
Raonic took the first set after Murray's second serve had kept him in it for almost an hour, only to double fault on a fourth break point at 5-5.
An early break in the second had the Canadian within sight of victory, but only briefly as he followed up with an error-strewn game to hand the advantage back at 2-2.
Murray was two points from defeat in the tie-break when he was pegged back to 5-5 but a gorgeous forehand volley edged him ahead again, and a serve levelled the scores.

It seemed he had finally done enough with a break at 4-4 in the decider, but a pumped-up Raonic thumped away a smash to break back, and two games later he repeated the trick when Murray netted a forehand.
But with his knuckles bloodied from angrily punching his racquet rings, Murray would not yield.

Summarize the following content briefly. | The order was imposed in June 2012 as violence flared between Buddhist and Muslim communities.
Dozens of people died and about 140,000 people, mainly from the Muslim Rohingya ethnic minority, were forced to flee their homes in the western state.
Most of them have been unable to return, forced to live in refugee camps and denied basic rights.
"According to the Rakhine State government, there is currently no threat of danger to people's lives," said an order published in state media. It means the military will no longer be providing day-to-day security in the area.
It comes as Thein Sein ends his five-year term as president. On Wednesday President-elect Htin Kyaw will be sworn in, after the National League for Democracy won a landslide victory in the November elections, ending decades of military-backed rule.
Rakhine: Myanmar's restive state
In 2012, the rape and murder of a Buddhist woman sparked violence. More than 200 people died.
Most of the Rohingya that were driven out because of the tensions now live in camps for internally displaced people with limited access to food, healthcare and education.
The Rohingya are denied full citizenship as they are seen as illegal migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. Rising Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar has led to further discrimination.
The United Nations refers to them as a "persecuted religious and linguistic minority".
Last year, thousands of Rohingya were found stranded on boats in the Andaman Sea trying to leave Rakhine for Malaysia, bringing the world's attention to their marginalisation. | Myanmar's outgoing President Thein Sein has lifted the state of emergency in the state of Rakhine, say state media. |

Jockey Paddy Brennan said: "He's a dream - a privilege to ride him."
Cue Card will claim a £1m bonus if he also wins the King George and the Cheltenham Gold Cup this season.
The ten-year-old almost landed the hat-trick last season when winning the Betfair Chase and King George VI Chase before falling in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
"There's a responsibility to riding a horse like Cue Card," Brennan told BBC Sport.
"I'm not saying he's Kauto Star, but he's got an aura and he's got a following by so many people that I feel lucky.
"I felt it got away a little in the Gold Cup but after today I think we have a chance of putting that right.
"When I hacked to the start I knew things were going to be different today; he was the Cue Card I know.
"When he's on that form today you can ride any way you want - he's different class."
Coneygree did not go down without a fight on his return from an absence of 377 days.
He led to four out under Richard Johnson, but Cue Card decimated the field with his speed and stamina.
Two-time Betfair Chase winner Silviniaco Conti (13-2) was fourth.
Cornelius Lysaght, BBC horse racing correspondent
Defeat at Wetherby in October left some fans of Cue Card a little shaken, but not Colin Tizzard, and that faith was vindicated with a scintillating success over the gallant Coneygree.
Sticking to the inside of the track he put in a command performance, quickly putting the race to bed after leading at the fourth-to-last fence.
Those around him are looking, of course, to the next legs of the Triple Crown, the King George VI Chase and Cheltenham Gold Cup, but particularly Cheltenham after he fell late on there last time. After a lay-off and against a top horse that was race-fit, Coneygree can be said to have run an absolute 'screamer' in second.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told the Home Affairs Select Committee he had no reason to apologise to the peer, 92.
The police investigation was criticised after Lord Bramall was told he would face no action nearly nine months after he was interviewed under caution.
Lord Bramall had denied the claims.
The former head of the Army was interviewed under caution by police on 30 April 2015 but the case was dropped by the Met, which said last month that there was insufficient evidence to investigate further or bring charges.
Sir Bernard told MPs that suspects such as Lord Bramall had to wait to be told about the outcome of his case until the police and Crown Prosecution Service had completed their work.
He also defended the decision to send 22 officers to search Lord Bramall's home during the investigation into the abuse allegations.
Sir Bernard expressed "regret" for the effect of the inquiry on Lord Bramall but repeatedly refused to apologise at the parliamentary committee.
During one exchange, Conservative MP Tim Loughton referred to a "media circus" surrounding the case.
Sir Bernard said: "Ah the media circus. If what you mean is that you want me to be bullied into apologising then that won't happen."
Mr Loughton replied: "So you think you're being bullied, do you?"
Sir Bernard said: "I'm asking you whether that's what you think."
Lord Bramall, a Normandy veteran who retired from the House of Lords in 2013, previously told the BBC there was not "one grain of truth" in the allegations, made against him by a man in his 40s.
Lord Bramall served during the D-Day landings during World War Two and commanded UK land forces between 1976 and 1978.
The peer became chief of the general staff - the professional head of the Army - in 1979, and in 1982 he oversaw the Falklands campaign.
Later that year he became chief of the defence staff - the most senior officer commanding the UK's armed forces.
Costa, 23, joined Wolves on a season-long loan deal from Benfica in July and the Portuguese has impressed in his 29 appearances for the club.
The Championship club's previous transfer record was Portuguese forward Ivan Cavaleiro, who joined from Monaco in a reported £7m deal in August.
Wolves are 18th in the Championship, seven points above the relegation zone.
But despite their inconsistent league form, Paul Lambert's side reached the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at Premier League side Liverpool on Saturday.
Costa becomes the fifth player to move to an English Football League club this season for a fee of more than £10m, following Dwight Gayle and Matt Ritchie's moves to Newcastle, Ross McCormack's transfer to Aston Villa, and Villa's signing of Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia.
Kodjia is believed to be the most expensive signing in Championship history, having signed for an initial £11m, with add-ons taking his cost to £15m.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Fernando headed the hosts in front from a corner before a Sergio Aguero penalty - awarded for Ryan Shawcross's foul on Kelechi Iheanacho - doubled the lead.
Iheanacho, 19, added the third from close range, then the teenager rounded the keeper to seal an emphatic win.
Stoke conceded four goals for the third straight Premier League game.
Relive the action from the Etihad Stadium
LISTEN: Manchester City ease past Stoke
Manuel Pellegrini rested a number of players, including captain Vincent Kompany and midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, with the first-leg visit of 10-time champions of Europe Real Madrid in mind.
Yet his side go into one of the biggest games in the club's history with confidence high after moving above Arsenal, who play at Sunderland on Sunday, in the table.
Manchester City's place at the top of table of European football next season is by no means certain but, a slow start notwithstanding, they showed their ruthless side to dispose of a Stoke team that missed several good chances.
Such was their dominance, Pellegrini could afford the luxury of bringing off influential players David Silva and Sergio Aguero to rest legs for the heavyweight meeting with Real, who lost striker Karim Benzema to injury in their match at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
The biggest roar of the game came five minutes from time, when Iheanacho was announced as man of the match.
Just as neighbours United have an exciting young forward in Marcus Rashford, so do Manchester City in the shape of the young Nigeria international, who has had a hand in 11 goals (seven goals, four assists) in eight competitive starts in 2015/16.
After Fernando had risen above Geoff Cameron to glance home the opening goal from a corner, Iheanacho won the penalty that Aguero promptly dispatched before scoring twice himself in the space of 10 second-half minutes.
His first, to make it 3-0, was a cool finish from Pablo Zabaleta's clever run and pass, while Iheanacho showed maturity beyond his years to round substitute keeper Jakob Haugaard and slot home after being sent clear by substitute Wilfried Bony.
He now has 11 goals in 30 senior outings for City and is turning into a real prospect. Real Madrid will offer different level of test to Stoke City but Iheanacho's pace off the bench could be a useful weapon for Pellegrini.
Mark Hughes' side started well, missed several chances at 2-0 down, and eventually caved in. They have now conceded 12 goals in three games.
Their task was not helped by the absence of Ibrahim Afellay, the Netherlands midfielder who suffered a serious knee injury on the eve of the game.
The Potters, who have won one of the last seven league games, were also forced to replace 40-year-old keeper Shay Given at the start of the second half due to a suspected groin injury.
Joselu squandered a great opportunity to reduce the deficit at 2-0, while Mame Biram Diouf went close with a header before City took the game out of sight.
Stoke still have to face Sunderland (home), Crystal Palace (away) and West Ham United (home) and manager Hughes faces a battle to rouse his players and ensure the season does not end on a flat note.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "A big team must always be focused on both competitions. Premier League and Champions League. Every big team must do it every year.
"Stoke is fighting for nothing but nobody wants to lose games. It was important to score the first goal."
Media playback is not supported on this device
On Kelechi Iheanacho: "He is an important young player with a lot of future. He scores lots of goals but he is not just a penalty-box player. I am sure that his role in this team will be very important.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "Once again we have conceded poor goals, which is a recurring theme.
"We were a million miles away from where we need to be in the first half. We are lacking the pace and power you need in key areas of the field.
"I'm not one to look at injuries but we have got guys coming back from long-term injuries and playing through injuries. It's difficult. We have issues but we should help ourselves."

Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan: "We are going through a difficult stage - we are feeling sorry for ourselves. This is not the Stoke City I am used to playing with and we owe more to our fans.
"We don't want the season to fizzle out. We have three games to turn it around. Listen, we need to look at ourselves. It hasn't been good enough. We are giving away soft goals."
Attention now turns to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid for Manchester City, whose next Premier League game is at Southampton on 1 May.

Their 2-0 win over Sunderland left Hull needed a point at Crystal Palace on Sunday to maintain their survival bid.
But the hosts won 4-0, much to Clement's relief.
"Credit to the players for showing the form they have over the last four games to pick up 10 points from a possible 12," Clement told Swans' website.
"They deserve to be where they are - playing in the Premier League again.''
Clement took over in January with Swans bottom of the table with only 12 points from 19 games.
He added: "I am very proud of what we have achieved in the second half of the season, especially when you put into context where we were when I arrived.
"It's been a collective effort from everyone connected to the club; so congratulations to the players, backroom staff, club staff and definitely our supporters for their help in getting us over the line."
The Welsh club will host West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, 21 May in the season's final round of games.
"I honestly thought it would go down to the last game of the season," added Clement.
"I'm not complaining it hasn't gone to the last game as I predicted.
"And I'm sure the fans will feel the same way after everything they've been through this season.
"Our supporters have been amazing. It's been tough for them at times, but they've stuck with us all the way and I'm delighted for them more than anyone.
"I'm looking forward to enjoying the last game of the season with them at the Liberty on Sunday. It should be a fantastic atmosphere.
"We will be aiming to finish the season strongly and reach 41 points. Then we can look forward and make sure we are stronger next season.''
The SMMT said the traditional annual shutdown started earlier at some vehicle plants.
The seasonal pause in production allows for maintenance and upgrades.
Despite the dip, Mike Hawes, SMMT's chief executive, said: "The industry remains in a strong position."
Last month, the trade association said the British car industry had had its best first half of a year since 2008.
More than 911,000 cars have been produced so far this year and domestic demand has grown by 8%.
In July, 9,274 UK commercial vehicles were built, increasing production by 46.3% in July, signalling a continued recovery in the sector.
It has seen production grow by a third this year.
Demand in the domestic market for commercial vehicles was particularly strong, up 137.6% compared with July 2014.
Mr Hawes said: "After a difficult year of regulatory upheaval, we're now seeing demand for British-built vans, trucks and buses bounce back, as fleet renewal patterns return to normal and the online delivery market continues to grow."
Caramel, aged four months, was taken in a burglary in Harlow, Essex, on 3 June.
The sick puppy belongs to Lexie Taylor, 8, who has juvenile arthritis, a condition which improved since she began walking her pet.
Mother Tracy Taylor said: "The search reached 13m people on Facebook. A woman saw reports and realised she had bought Caramel. She was returned yesterday."
The chocolate-coloured Chihuahua-cross has a lump on her stomach caused by a hernia and also a suspected tumour. She was scheduled to visit the vet shortly after she was stolen.
Three days after the theft the family posted Caramel's story on Facebook in the hope she would be recognised and returned.
In a little over a week 14,000 people had "liked" the page.
A lost pets website has also posted the story, and almost 60,000 people saw that post, Mrs Taylor said. Messages of support came in from as far away as India and Canada.
The family had been particularly keen to have Caramel back because of the puppy's positive effect on their daughter's health.
"Ever since Caramel was born she and Lexie have been inseparable. It has really helped with Lexie's mobility because she has been walking Caramel so much," Mrs Taylor said.
Late on Monday afternoon Mrs Taylor's husband Richard received a call from a woman who said she had bought a Chihuahua puppy, and having seen the publicity, thought it might be the family's pet. The dog is now safely back home.
"We are just the happiest family in the world right now," Mrs Taylor said. | Manager Paul Clement says Swansea City's players "deserve" to stay in the Premier League next season after winning their battle to survive.

Can you summarize the following information? | The Gold Coast park said it hoped the reopening would begin the "healing process" and that all entry proceeds would go to the Australian Red Cross.
A sister and brother, and the brother's partner, were among the dead.
The four died when their raft on the Thunder River Rapids ride collided with another raft and flipped over.
Dreamworld: Who were the victims?
In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, the park said it would host a "Memorial Day" on Friday, with doors opening at 11:00 (01:00 GMT).
It said: "We hope this will be considered the start of the healing process for all concerned.
"From the Memorial Day, activities will be limited to smaller rides, animal attractions, and the water park."
All entry proceeds will go to the Red Cross, which has been helping the affected families.
The owner of the park, Ardent Leisure Group, also revealed that the ride in question had completed its annual safety inspection, carried out by a "specialist external engineering firm", on 29 September.
The victims have been named as Kate Goodchild, 32, her brother Luke Dorsett, 35, Mr Dorsett's partner, Roozbeh Araghi, 38, and Cindy Low, a 42-year-old New Zealand citizen who lived in Sydney.
A 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, who media say were related to the victims, were also on the raft. They were thrown free and survived.
Queensland assistant police commissioner Brian Codd said it was "almost a miracle that anybody came out of that", adding: "If we're going to be thankful for anything, I'm thankful for that."
Visitors have been laying floral tributes to the victims at the gates of the park, some 50km (30 miles) south of Brisbane.
Kim Dorsett, the mother of Kate Goodchild and Luke Dorsett, told the Courier-Mail newspaper: "I have three children and have lost two of them today - my whole family has been wiped out."
Ms Low was visiting the theme park with her two children and her husband, local media said.
She decided to separate from her daughter and husband and ride in another raft with her son and four strangers.
The Thunder River Rapids ride opened in 1986. Dreamworld says it allows visitors to "travel down a foamy water track" in circular rafts.
The Australian Workers Union said it had raised "grave concerns" about safety on rides at the park more than a year ago, though not about the river rapids ride specifically.
Forensic police are reviewing CCTV footage and investigating the scene. They will submit a report to the state coroner alongside workplace safety authorities and the coroner will decide if any charges should be filed.
Gergana Prodanova, 38, went missing last year from the home she shared with her ex-partner, Kostadin Kostov.
Kostov, 42, appeared at Exeter Crown Court accused of murdering her.
He denies killing the mother of their three children, whose body was found nearly two weeks after she disappeared.
More on the suitcase murder trial and other Devon news
Simon Laws, QC, prosecuting, said the couple had been in a relationship for 15 years prior to Ms Prodanova moving to Exeter, Devon, in December 2015.
"It was a complex and very troubling relationship," said Mr Laws.
"He had used physical violence against her on a number of occasions.
"He was a jealous and controlling man. He would lose his temper, especially when he had had a drink, and he would hit her."
The jury heard Ms Prodanova moved to England on her own, leaving Kostov and her children at home in Bulgaria and soon formed a relationship with another man.
Mr Laws said Kostov flew to the UK on April 21 2016 and moved in with Ms Prodanova in a small flat on Mount Pleasant Road in the city.
He said the prosecution case was that she was killed there on the evening of August 4 by Kostov because he was jealous of her new relationship.
The court heard Ms Prodanova's colleagues at the Great Western Hotel were surprised at her disappearance.
"Then messages were sent by text and Facebook that looked as if they came from her," Mr Laws says.
"Those messages were intended to explain her sudden absence.
Mr Laws said Kostov told police that Ms Prodanova was alive the last time he saw her, that she had received a phone call from her sister to say that her mother was dead and had left the flat.

Summarize the following piece. | Stephen Power, from Cardiff, is thought to be one of the first trauma patients in the world to have 3D printing used at every stage of the procedure.
Doctors at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, had to break his cheekbones again before rebuilding his face.
Mr Power said the operation had been "life-changing".
The UK has become one of the world's pioneers in using 3D technology in surgery, with advances also being made by teams in London and Newcastle.
While printed implants have previously been used to help correct congenital conditions, this operation used custom-printed models, guides, plates and implants to repair impact injuries months after they were sustained.
Despite wearing a crash helmet Mr Power, 29, suffered multiple trauma injuries in the accident in 2012, which left him in hospital for four months.
"I broke both cheekbones, top jaw, my nose and fractured my skull," he said.
"I can't remember the accident - I remember five minutes before and then waking up in the hospital a few months later."
In order to try to restore the symmetry of his face, the surgical team used CT scans to create and print a symmetrical 3D model of Mr Power's skull, followed by cutting guides and plates printed to match.
Maxillofacial surgeon Adrian Sugar says the 3D printing took away the guesswork that can be problematic in reconstructive work.
"I think it's incomparable - the results are in a different league from anything we've done before," he said.
"What this does is it allows us to be much more precise. Everybody now is starting to think in this way - guesswork is not good enough."
The procedure took eight hours to complete, with the team first having to refracture the cheekbones with the cutting guides before remodelling the face.
A medical-grade titanium implant, printed in Belgium, was then used to hold the bones in their new shape.
Looking at the results of the surgery, Mr Power says he feels transformed - with his face now much closer in shape to how it was before the accident.
"It is totally life-changing," he said.
"I could see the difference straightaway the day I woke up from the surgery."
Having used a hat and glasses to mask his injuries before the operation, Mr Power has said he already feels more confident.
"I'm hoping I won't have to disguise myself - I won't have to hide away," he said.
"I'll be able to do day-to-day things, go and see people, walk in the street, even go to any public areas."
The project was the work of the Centre for Applied Reconstructive Technologies in Surgery (Cartis), which is a collaboration between the team in Swansea and scientists at Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Design engineer Sean Peel has said the latest advance should encourage greater use of 3D printing in the NHS.
"It tends to be used for individual really complicated cases as it stands, in quite a convoluted, long-winded design process," he said.
"The next victory will be to get this process and technique used more widely as the costs fall and as the design tools improve."
Mr Power's operation is currently being featured in an exhibition at the Science Museum in London, called 3D Printing: The Future.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The biennial award, which rewards those who bring "new artistic dimensions to drama or theatre", has previously only been given to individuals.
The Sheffield group's artistic director, Tim Etchells, said they were "honoured" to get such recognition.
Named after Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, the prize is funded by the Norwegian government.
A spokesman for the award said the group - made up of Robin Arthur, Tim Etchells, Richard Lowdon, Claire Marshall, Cathy Naden and Terry O'Connor - had been chosen as "a recognition and appreciation of theatre as a collective art form, and of the theatre's importance within society".
"Forced Entertainment have created their own performative space within the history of theatre - here, theatrical conventions are played out, and they are torn apart," he said.
"This influential theatre group is a group that recognises the theatre as a central voice within society, and which sincerely and with dedication, uses theatre as an arena for public debate; an open, reflexive and poetic space with ethical and social value."
Etchells said the company, who were also awarded prize money of 300,000 euros, were "very happy" to be named as winners alongside such a "formidable" list.
Forced Entertainment was founded in 1984 with the aim of "exploring and exploding the conventions of genre, narrative and theatre itself", a company spokeswoman said.
The group produce everything from small two-person pieces to large-scale productions, and have put on shows and events across the world.
Arts Council England's executive director for arts and culture, Simon Mellor, said the award was "a fitting tribute to Forced Entertainment's 30-year history of producing startlingly original work".
"[It is] a recognition of their far-reaching and profound influence on the contemporary theatre and performance scene," he said.
Rufus Norris, the National Theatre's artistic director, added that the company had been "a constant reminder that the way that we make work in the mainstream is only one very narrow way of making work".
"They are challenging, they are always provocative. They are prepared to have a real proper conversation with their audience," he said.
Previous winners of the award, announced to coincide with the 19th Century playwright's birthday, include Austrian writer Peter Handke, French stage director Ariane Mnouchkine, Norwegian dramatist Jon Fosse and German composer Heiner Goebbels.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Patrick Harvie rejected the view that the richest in Scotland would move their tax affairs if the rate went up.
He told the BBC that HMRC was working to reduce the risk of people looking for a more favourable tax set up.
The Scottish Greens want to see a new 60p income tax introduced for those earning more than £150,000 a year.
The party has also set out plans - ahead of the Holyrood election on 5 May - for a new 43p rate, starting at £43,000.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Harvie said: "A great many of the people who are in that highest tax band in Scotland I believe would remain in Scotland.
"I am very confident that it [new 60p rate] would raise additional revenue, but for safety sake we have not build in an assumption about the additional revenue that would come in from that highest tax bracket.
"The most important thing about our tax proposals though is that most people would be better off."
Currently, basic income tax is charged at 20p in the pound; higher rate earners are charged 40p in the pound and additional rate earners pay 45p in the pound.
The SNP said the time was not right to increase the additional rate because of worries the 17,000 people who pay it in Scotland might move their tax affairs elsewhere.
Scottish Labour wants to see the 45p rate raised to 50p; the Scottish Conservatives are proposing no change and the Scottish Liberal Democrats want a penny on all bands including the 45p going to 46p.
The Scottish Greens estimate that under their plan, tax payers would only start to pay more once they were earning about £27,000 a year.
Mr Harvie argues that those people who benefit from the Greens' plan on income tax would "also benefit from our proposals on replacing the council tax".
He told presenter Gary Robertson: "Most houses would be of a higher value in absolute terms but under our proposals most households would be paying less in their local tax.
"Yes, we would be talking about an increase for those that are of extremely high value properties and if you are sitting on a property which has gone up dramatically in value, the economy as a whole, our community as a whole, has increased the value of the asset you are sitting on.
"It is reasonable that some of that increased value comes back to the public purse."
Alpamare Scarborough had been due to open on Thursday in North Bay but was put back so a new part could be fitted.
It includes indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a spa, and is part of the £150m Sands development in the North Yorkshire seaside town.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Delphi Diesel Systems employs 771 people in Sudbury and said it would concentrate on higher-skilled work and innovation at its plant there.
The losses are made up of 91 full-time and 85 agency jobs. Neil Evans, regional officer for the union Unite, called the decision short-sighted.
"We're very concerned about the decision managers have made," he said.
"We believe it's very short-sighted. Ultimately they are putting the entire operation in Sudbury in jeopardy.
"There are workers in Sudbury with more than 20 years' experience and we are putting forward alternative strategies and doing our level best to reverse the decision."
Richard Gotch, from the company, said: "Delphi has entered into discussions with employee representatives on the uncompetitive nature of its Sudbury plant.
"The company is proposing a change in manufacturing to focus on high-tech manufacturing and is discussing the possibility to outsource non-core manufacturing components.
The management is committed to the long-term best interests of the site and will work to minimize the impact by looking for ways to support the affected employees.
"The UK is Delphi's centre of excellence for diesel research as well as manufacturing."
On Friday it was made public the 2 Sisters factory in the Anglesey town is considering cutting an entire shift.
The company employs about 800 people at the chicken processing facility.
One union official described morale as "very very low", saying it is now feared 200 agency jobs could be lost along with about 116 employees.
The 2 Sisters Food Group bought the factory from Dutch firm Vion in March 2013, and three months later announced it needed to increase production with an extra shift, bringing in an additional 300 posts.
Paddy McNaught, the regional organiser for Unite, said the company was planning to cut production at the factory.
"It's not been very promising news," he said following the meeting. "I think the company today have clarified the situation slightly in terms of numbers.
"We still believe we're looking at potentially over 300 people will be taken out of this business here at Llangefni.
"We've got somewhere in the region of 201 agency workers, as we believe it of today, and those will be going, plus a further 116 direct employees."
The company confirmed on Friday some roles were at risk of redundancy as it looked to "simplify" its business to sustain the quality of its products.

It took rescuers four hours to airlift the pair from the bottom of a gorge near Ystradfellte in Powys.
Teams from the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue were joined by firefighters, police and kayakers in the scramble to save the stricken hikers.
The couple in their 20s were then airlifted to a waiting ambulance before being taken to hospital.
"We were called at 11.30 this morning to reports of two people washed over the top of a waterfall. They had indeed been washed over, they fell 30 feet (9m) and sustained serious injuries," a member of the mountain rescue team told BBC Wales.
"It was right at the base of a gorge, so inaccessible. It meant a long walk in and scramble into the gorge.
"It took about four hours to get them out."
It is understood the two had been walking in a party of four people when the women went into the river some distance from the waterfall, and the man was washed along as he tried to rescue her.

Serena Hickey, 42, from Milton Keynes, was strangled to death at the hotel in Kempston, Bedford, on 13 September.
Her partner Daren Ellis' body was later found on a railway line in Warwickshire.
Ms Hickey's brother, Zane Hopkins, has set up a foundation to support domestic violence victims and perpetrators.
"I firmly believe that if you get to the root of a problem, then you eradicate the problem," he told BBC Look East.
"This in no way means we endorse their actions, but hope to prevent further acts of violence by helping to reform and re-educate those guilty of domestic violence."
Mr Hopkins said he could not believe the news when he was first told about his sister's death.
"I kept thinking, they've got the wrong person, something's wrong. It can't be true.
"She was a really strong person, strong minded, strong bodied - she went to the gym a lot - so this is why it [her death] just doesn't make sense," he said.
"If my sister could be suffering, and suffering in silence as such a strong person, then there's got to be countless amounts of others suffering in silence too."
"We must unite to make sure this tragedy is never allowed to happen again," he wrote on the Serena Hickey Foundation Facebook page.

Summarize the information given below. | The 50-year-old managed Orient between 2003 and 2009 but had been out of football since stepping down as Swindon Town boss in 2015 for health reasons.
On Thursday, a consortium led by Nigel Travis completed its takeover.
"His immediate goals are to develop the squad for next season and appoint a first-team coach," said Travis.
"His deep ties to the club will help him build on Leyton Orient's heritage of developing strong young talent through its academy."
After retiring from playing, Ling returned to the O's as a youth coach before moving up to the first team and winning promotion to League One in 2006.
Ling left Orient in January 2009 before spells at Cambridge United and Torquay United.
He moves to East London after Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts chief executive Travis purchased the club from Francesco Becchetti.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The Daily Telegraph claims it has seen documents which apparently show that the former Fifa vice president and head of Asian football, Mohammed Bin Hammam, paid his fellow former Fifa vice president Jack Warner and his family more than £1m.
Although the payments are said to relate to legal and other expenses over a six-year period from 2005, the Telegraph says a company called Jamad, owned by Warner, invoiced Bin Hammam's company, Kemco, for £750,000 just two weeks after Qatar were surprisingly awarded the finals in December 2010.
While that will arouse fresh suspicions, it's not clear the payments are in any way linked to the World Cup vote. In fact some believe Warner, the former head of the North American and Caribbean Football Confederation (Concacaf), didn't even vote for Qatar.
Although the head of the Dominican FA, Patrick John, claimed in July 2011 that Warner didn't follow through with his pledge to back fellow Concacaf country America, others say Warner repeatedly told 2022 candidates that he was committed to voting for the United States.
A look at the voting numbers would appear to back that up. In the final round, Qatar beat USA by 14 votes to eight. It is hard to see how America could have got to that number without the support of Warner and the two other Concacaf representatives on the Fifa executive committee - namely American Chuck Blazer and Rafael Salguero of Guatemala.
Sadly, the truth is that we will never know for sure. The ballot for the World Cup is held in secret, a fiercely-guarded tradition that is unlikely to change even after all the controversy of the last three years.
And given that lamentable lack of transparency, it's hardly beyond the realms of imagination to suppose that Warner might have promised one thing to one bid and then done quite the opposite.
But if Warner didn't vote for Qatar, what was all that money from Bin Hammam for?
But if Warner didn't vote for Qatar, what was all that money from Bin Hammam for?
The easiest conclusion to draw is that it was in some way linked to Bin Hammam's doomed bid to unseat Fifa President Sepp Blatter during that now infamous election in Zurich in May 2011.
Bin Hammam never contested that election as he had already pulled out amid corruption allegations. He was eventually banned from football for life for offering bribes to Caribbean football officials at a meeting in Trinidad.
Warner helped set up that meeting and was subsequently forced to resign after 28 years at the top of world football, having been described as an accomplice to corruption.
Is it possible that Bin Hammam was already paying Warner for his support in the upcoming Presidential election?
Or maybe the two men had separate and perfectly legitimate business dealings, none of which were connected with Fifa or football. Remember these two men had been close allies for well over a decade. Both have wide business interests outside the game.
Warner has told the Press Association that the Telegraph's story was part of a "witch hunt" against Qatar. The Qatari's supreme committee for the 2022 World Cup, meanwhile, have distanced themselves from the latest claims to dog their hosting of the tournament, saying they adhered to Fifa's strict bidding regulations. Bin Hammam could not be reached for comment.
Nevertheless the Telegraph's excellent investigation has yet again raised serious questions about the conduct of senior Fifa officials. And while the governing body may claim that they are now cleaning up their act, Simon Johnson, the former chief operating officer of England's failed 2018 World Cup bid, is right when he says that the world governing body's ethics committee should now investigate the newspaper's claims.
Because regardless of the full story behind these payments, it can hardly look good if one Fifa executive committee member from a country bidding to stage the World Cup is paying another Fifa executive committee member more than £1m when that official can so obviously influence the outcome of that bid.
It only adds to the pressure on Fifa and their chief investigator Michael Garcia to come up with a new system for choosing the host for football's biggest and most prestigious prize. | Once again Fifa's handling of the selection process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups is under scrutiny. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Fossils of five early humans have been found in North Africa that show Homo sapiens emerged at least 100,000 years earlier than previously recognised.
It suggests that our species evolved all across the continent, the scientists involved say.
Their work is published in the journal Nature.
Prof Jean-Jacques Hublin, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, told me that the discovery would "rewrite the text books" about our emergence as a species.
"It is not the story of it happening in a rapid way in a 'Garden of Eden' somewhere in Africa. Our view is that it was a more gradual development and it involved the whole continent. So if there was a Garden of Eden, it was all of Africa."
Prof Hublin was speaking at a news conference at the College de France in Paris, where he proudly showed journalists casts of the fossil remains his team has excavated at a site in Jebel Irhoud in Morocco. The specimens include skulls, teeth, and long bones.
Earlier finds from the same site in the 1960s had been dated to be 40,000 years old and ascribed to an African form of Neanderthal, a close evolutionary cousin of Homo sapiens.
But Prof Hublin was always troubled by that initial interpretation, and when he joined the MPI he began reassessing Jebel Irhoud. And more than 10 years later he is now presenting new evidence that tells a very different story.
The latest material has been dated by hi-tech methods to be between 300,000 and 350,000 years old. And the skull form is almost identical to modern humans.
The few significant differences are seen in a slightly more prominent brow line and smaller brain cavity.
Prof Hublin's excavation has further revealed that these ancient people had employed stone tools and had learned how to make and control fire. So, not only did they look like Homo sapiens, they acted like them as well.
Until now, the earliest fossils of our kind were from Ethiopia (from a site known as Omo Kibish) in eastern Africa and were dated to be approximately 195,000 years old.
"We now have to modify the vision of how the first modern humans emerged," Prof Hublin told me with an impish grin.
Before our species evolved there were many different types of primitive human species, each of which looked different and had its own strengths and weaknesses. And these various species of human, just like other animals, evolved and changed their appearance gradually, with just the occasional spurt. They did this over hundreds of thousands of years.
By contrast, the mainstream view has been that Homo sapiens evolved suddenly from more primitive humans in East Africa around 200,000 years ago; and it is at that point that we assumed, broadly speaking, the features we display now. What is more, only then do we spread throughout Africa and eventually to rest of planet. Prof Hublin's discoveries would appear to shatter this view.
Jebel Irhoud is typical of many archaeological sites across Africa that date back 300,000 years. Many of these locations have similar tools and evidence for the use of fire. What they do not have is any fossil remains.
Because most experts have worked on the assumption that our species did not emerge until 200,000 years ago, it was natural to think therefore that these other sites were occupied by an older, different species of human. But the Jebel Irhoud finds now make it possible that it was actually Homo sapiens that left the tool and fire evidence in these places.
"We are not trying to say that the origin of our species was in Morocco - rather that the Jebel Irhoud discoveries show that we know that [these type of sites] were found all across Africa 300,000 years ago," said MPI team member Dr Shannon McPhearon.
Prof Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London, UK, was not involved in the research. He told BBC News: "This shows that there are multiple places in Africa where Homo sapiens was emerging. We need to get away from this idea that there was a single 'cradle'."
And he raises the possibility that Homo sapiens may even have existed outside of Africa at the same time: "We have fossils from Israel that are probably the same age and they show what could be described as proto-Homo sapiens features."
Prof Stringer says it is not inconceivable that primitive humans who had smaller brains, bigger faces, stronger brow ridges and bigger teeth - but who were nonetheless Homo sapiens - may have existed even earlier in time, possibly as far back as half a million years ago. This is a startling shift in what those who study human origins believed not so long ago.
"I was saying 20 years ago that the only thing we should be calling Homo sapiens are humans that look like us. This was a view that Homo sapiens suddenly appeared in Africa at some point in time and that was the beginning of our species. But it now looks like I was wrong," Prof Stringer told BBC News.

The Royal Military Police (RMP) is leading the independent investigation, Operation Northmoor.
Armed Forces minister Penny Mordaunt has said the military are sometimes subjected to "ludicrous legal claims".
In a blog post on the Ministry of Defence website, following a report about Operation Northmoor in the Daily Mail, Ms Mordaunt said she was concerned that legal action against the military called into question its ability to operate effectively.
"A large number of compensation claims and judicial reviews" are time-consuming and can cost the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds, she said.
"The MoD is looking closely at this issue and as the government's manifesto made clear, we will ensure our armed forces overseas are not subject to persistent and sometimes ludicrous legal claims that undermine their ability to do their job."

Summarize the information in the following section. | The large biomass plant and eco park will be built near Holyhead after the company behind it, Orthios, bought the former Anglesey Aluminium site.
The development will see more than 500 permanent jobs and 1,200 construction jobs brought to the area before 2018.
The plant will process waste wood to create power, with heat generated used to farm prawns and grow vegetables.
It is expected to generate 299MW of electricity, which is enough to power about 300,000 homes.
Albert Owen, MP for Anglesey, said Orthios Eco Park had the potential "to be a catalyst in giving the local economy a much-needed boost".
"The company intends to liaise with businesses, training providers and schools in the area - the benefits of which will be seen in the local and regional economy as well as providing career opportunities," he said.
The plant is one of two planned for Wales - a similar facility will also be built in Port Talbot - after which the technology will be rolled out to China and developing countries.
The idea is for a biomass power plant generating electricity with spare heat being used to warm indoor ponds for king prawn farming. The UK currently imports king prawns.
Waste from the prawns can then be used as fertiliser to grow crops.
Isle of Anglesey Council leader Ieuan Williams said there would be more jobs as a result of the "innovative project", adding that the impact would be felt in the wider community and along the supply chain.
He said the plant cemented Anglesey's reputation as an island for innovation and centre of excellence for energy projects.
Lewis LeVasseur, chief operations officer of Orthios, said the plant's importance stemmed from it being a "solution for food and power generation for developing nations around the world".
He added: "The impact for the island's population is the diverse range of skill sets that will be required to run and manage the eco park."

The costs of providing health services to ageing populations in developed economies are spiralling out of control, while resource depletion in developing economies is threatening the health of millions.
The global healthcare bill is now thought to top $6.5 trillion (£3.9tn) a year.
A key to more sustainable healthcare is encouraging people to take more control of their own health through the use of mobile and telehealth technologies, many experts and technology companies believe.
Consultancy PwC says the European Union (EU) alone could save 99bn euros (£80bn; $135bn) by 2017 if it adopted more mobile health - or "m-health" - solutions.
Efficiency gains from the better use of technology could allow 24 million more patients to be treated with the same number of doctors and healthcare facilities, the report concludes.
And about 93bn euros could be added to the EU's economic output if 18 million people with - or at risk from - chronic disease were helped to extend their working lives, it says.
The popularity of smartphones, wearable gadgets and apps that can measure and record exercise levels, heart rate and calories burned, proves that many people are prepared to pay for technology that may benefit their health, says Steven Dodsworth, chief executive of digital healthcare consultancy D Health.
"Rather than producing expensive devices that are used in hospitals, we need technology products that people want, value and can afford," he says.
"They should be sold in consumer electronics shops, High Street pharmacies and supermarkets."
Samsung recently announced its latest wearable prototype health monitor - the Simband - as well as plans to develop a health data sharing platform, and many other technology companies are expanding into this lucrative space.
Mobile gives people access to information they could not easily get before, with all the preventative potential that offers.
For example, in Cameroon, West Africa, half the population lives in rural areas and there is only one doctor for every 5,000 inhabitants.
But when it comes to mobile phones, half the population owns one.
So network operator Orange Cameroon has recently set up a text message based teleconsulting service called My Healthline together with the country's Ministry of Health.
This allows phone users to text anonymous questions about health issues, including HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases and contraception, to Cameroonian doctors and nurses, and to receive a confidential response within an hour.
There are plenty of other similar m-health examples in developing economies around the world.
Such relatively low-tech solutions can also be complemented by more sophisticated technologies.
For instance, Ohio-based start-up HealthSpot has developed self-contained teleconsulting booths that can be installed in office buildings and shopping centres, reducing the need to travel to doctors' surgeries for minor ailments.
HealthSpot's booths are equipped with high definition cameras, microphones and video screens so that patient and doctor can see and talk to each other.
They also include a range of medical devices such as stethoscopes, thermometers and blood pressure cuffs. Patients can use these devices on themselves by following a doctor's instructions, and data from the devices is streamed to the doctor online.
Prescriptions can be generated and sent electronically to the pharmacy, and the data is integrated securely with local health records.
While the company is primarily rolling out the booths in the US - it recently announced a partnership with Cleveland Clinic - it envisages them being installed in communities around the world where local medical services are not available.
One of the main problems with existing health systems is that they were set up to deal with acute cases primarily, yet many people - particularly in ageing populations - suffer from chronic conditions that need more frequent care.
This puts greater stress on GP and hospital resources and leads to many unnecessary visits, with all the associated carbon emissions that entails.
Teleconsultations make obvious sense, therefore.
A study by the Academic Health Science Center in Canada found that 840 teleconsultations held over a six-month period resulted in a reduction of 185 tonnes of greenhouse gases, and that took into account the emissions associated with video conferencing energy consumption.
Airedale NHS Foundation Trust in Yorkshire employs a teleconsultation system that uses standard video conferencing equipment to provide health services to 14,500 prison inmates.
The system was originally intended to reduce the costs of escorting prisoners to medical appointments, but it is now used to provide 24-hour consultative care remotely to inmates in 20 prisons.
This system has now been extended to care for chronically ill patients in their own homes or in nursing and residential care homes.
As well as reducing the amount of journeys GPs have to make, it has also led to a 45% drop in hospital admissions from care homes using the system.
In another example, technology services company Accenture helped set up a telehealth system called Teki in Spain's Basque region.

"There is something valuable in giving people care in their own homes and avoiding hospitals, especially if their immune system is low," says Aimie Chapple, Accenture's health practice leader.
The implementation of Teki has already saved the region's health authorities more than 40m euros (£33m) as a result of reduced hospital stays, says Accenture.
And by delivering healthcare to chronically ill patients in their own homes this way, the NHS could save up to £7bn a year, the company believes.
"There is certainly evidence of both health and financial benefits," she says.
Health is closely related to wellbeing, and technology can play a part here, too, believes D Health's Steven Dodsworth.
"Housing associations could offer an app that allows isolated people to press a button when they need their grass cutting or their shopping bringing in," he says.
"That could connect to people looking for work, and you then build a community around an isolated person. That promotes wellbeing, allows them to stay in their home longer, and delivers a social benefit, with simple technology as the enabler."
He says that state-funded providers are being far too slow to adopt new technologies, making it hard to prove the benefits on a large scale.
A sustainable health revolution is only likely to happen if technology companies start targeting their products directly at us, the end users, rather than the service providers, he argues. | There is a pressing need for more sustainable healthcare systems around the world. |
Summarize the information given below. | The Derry Journal published a special edition of the newspaper on Wednesday following his death, and followed it up with extensive coverage of Mr McGuinness' funeral in Friday's edition.
The front page reflected the death and funeral of not just the former Sinn Féin leader but also of Derry City captain Ryan McBride, whose funeral also took place on Thursday.
The headline: "A city in mourning".
On Mr McGuinness, the paper quotes Denis Bradley - a well-know Derry man and former co-chairman of a group set up to deal with the legacy of the Troubles - who said there were always "dove-like aspects to McGuinness".
"I don't think he was as hawkish as people make him out to be at times," he told the Journal.
"He had, to my mind, an over-commitment to the republican movement, I realised he didn't like violence and he didn't like injury and death and destruction for the sake of it. When it could be avoided he did it."
The newspaper also pays tribute to Mr McBride with a special back page.
Instead of the usual sports news, the page is decorated in Derry City's red and white stripes and features the words of a poem read out by manager Kenny Shiels during the funeral of the "gentle giant".
Meanwhile, the Londonderry Sentinel leads on "mixed emotions" over the death of Mr McGuinness.
Inside, on page three, the headline points towards the divisive legacy Mr McGuinness has left behind.
"Many struggle to come to terms with his past", it reads.
On its front page, the city's DUP mayor Hilary McClintock calls him "a towering figure in Northern Ireland in general and in the city of Londonderry in particular".
There would be a "diverse range of opinions" about him, she said, but he had a passion for the city and the North West.
The Impartial Reporter, in Fermanagh, also focuses heavily on the funeral of Mr McGuinness, particularly the reaction of DUP leader Arlene Foster.
Its print edition came out on Thursday morning, before the event, meaning the front page leads with the uncertainty over whether Mrs Foster would be present.
However, its website has full coverage of the event including reaction to Mrs Foster's decision to attend.
In the print edition, Denzil McDaniel, the paper's former editor, offers his own view of Martin McGuinness.
"Man of war or man of peace? Well, both actually, that is the contradiction."
He writes that the hurt and pain caused by the IRA and Mr McGuinness "cannot be dismissed" but adds: "I believe his transformation to peace was a real and genuine one, not a tactical one but a heartfelt desire."
The Ulster Herald is another paper devoting plenty of coverage to the death of Martin McGuinness - it leads with the reveal that he visited a police officer's hospital bed following a bomb attack in 2008.
The officer told the paper: "I remember him visiting and I remember thinking it was something important. I found out later that he had never visited a police officer in hospital before.
"So I think I was the first. I suppose it was his way of saying that his party was supportive of policing."
Elsewhere in the paper, it covers the recent publication of names of firms that benefit from subsidies under the botched RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) scheme.
It has produced an interactive map showing all the claimants across County Tyrone - you can see it online.
The Down Recorder lead story centres on the death of Neil Rooney, 33, from Ballyhornan, following an industrial accident at Belfast's Harbour Estate.
"Father of two dies in tragic work accident," reads the headline and the report carries tributes and sympathy for the Rooney family from politicians and friends who call the loss "devastating and heart breaking".
Inside, the newspaper says there is concern over a decision to close a PSNI enquiry office in Newcastle.
The office will be shut in two weeks, leaving the station in Downpatrick as the only one in the district that has an office for the public.
In an editorial, the Down Recorder accused the PSNI of "trying to dress up the closure as improved policing" and of "strangely claiming social media is making such offices redundant".
The paper's response? "This is complete nonsense."
"Along with other public services, police have been forced to retrench and what has been forced upon them represents a reduction in the service that is offered to the public.
"Please tell it as it is and stop trying to kid the community that all is well."
Over in the Orchard County, the Armagh Observer reports concerns about a bridge over the River Callan leading to a nature reserve at the edge of Milford village.
Parents living close by are worried that it is an "accident waiting to happen," says the paper.
"A hole large enough for a child to fall through has now appeared," the paper reports, adding that an issue about ownership may be the reason why the bridge has fallen into disrepair.
Inside, the paper features world champion Irish dancer Joe McGeown. He may be from London but he has "no scarcity of Granemore blood in his veins", says the paper.
Joe's father, Dessie, hails from there and Joe has dedicated his recent world championship award to his late aunt, Ann O'Neill from Granemore, Tassagh, who died in January.
Meanwhile, an unholy row is brewing in Broughshane over a church hall, the Ballymena Guardian reports.
Under the headline: "Church hall demolition plan left 'in ruins'", it says that the Magill Hall in the village has been made a listed building, thwarting plans to demolish it and replace it with a new modern hall.
The hall is owned by Broughshane First Presbyterian Church and the Guardian reports that churchgoers are not best pleased - they were looking forward to an up-to-date, all mod-cons hall.
DUP MLA Paul Frew, who attends the church, says it was "dirty" of the Department of Communities Historic Environment Division to list it.
"This is an incredibly draconian decision," he told the paper.
Remaining on matters holy, Ballymena is proud of its connection to St Patrick and 17 March is a special day.
"Saint Patrick back on the throne of Slemish," reads the Guardian headline with a host of photographs from the day.
Slemish was where the boy Patrick herded the sheep after he had been kidnapped and served as a slave to local chieftain Milchú.
On St Patrick's Day, the paper reports that a play was performed on the slopes of Slemish, telling the story of the Irish saint.
The paper says there was even a real-life Patrick treading the boards - the role of the saint was taken by a local - Patrick Connor, 17 - who lives on the slopes of Ballymena's holy mountain.
He is pictured flat on his back, taking what looks like a bucket-load of grief from Chieftain Milchú. | The eyes of the world turned to Derry this week following the death of one of its most famous sons, Martin McGuinness . |
Summarize the provided section. | Officials in the city of Yinchuan said the bus suddenly caught fire at around 07:00 local time (23:00 GMT Monday), trapping some people inside.
Amateur footage posted online showed the bus engulfed in flames.
Police later arrested a man in connection with the incident in which 32 people were also hurt.
State broadcaster CCTV said that a suspect in the fire incident, Ma Yongping, was arrested by police after he threatened to kill himself.
Authorities had earlier released a statement via local media naming him as a "major suspect".
A police spokesman was quoted on Yinchuan city's official microblog as saying their initial conclusion was that the case was an "intentional criminal act of arson".
China has seen several cases of arson on public transport in recent years.
Officials had previously said 14 people had died in the fire, but upgraded the death toll to 17 later in the day. The city's deputy mayor was quoted on the microblog as saying they had found more bodies after a second search of the bus.
A public transport official said the capacity of the bus was 84 people. Previous reports said that more than 40 people were on board at the time of the incident.
All the injured have been sent to a hospital for treatment - eight people were severely injured.
State news agency Xinhua said that the bus driver escaped with minor injuries.
Along with several accidents there have been cases of fires being deliberately started on public transport in recent years, as was the case in June 2013 when 48 people died on a Xiamen bus. Authorities said then that a suicidal man had started the fire.
In 2014 a man, also said to have been suicidal, started a fire on a bus in Hangzhou that injured more than 30 people.
The move comes after alleged police inaction sparked outrage in Uttar Pradesh state.
Three suspected attackers have been detained, along with two policemen accused of dereliction of duty and criminal conspiracy.
The girls were found hanged from a tree in Badaun district earlier in the week.
The victims' families say it took police more than 12 hours to respond to reports they were missing.
The father of one victim earlier told the BBC he was ridiculed by police when he sought help in finding his daughter.
He said that when policemen found out he was from a lower caste, they "refused to look for my girl".
"The chief minister has decided to recommend a probe into the Badaun incident as demanded by family members of the victims," the office of Akhilesh Yadav said on Saturday.
He had come under attack for earlier remarks mocking female journalists who asked about the rising number of rape cases at a news briefing.
"You are safe, why are you bothered?" the chief minister had said.
Saturday's announcement follows a pledge by the government to set up a fast-track court to deal with the case.
Divisions between India's castes run deep, and violence is often used by upper castes to instil fear in lower castes, correspondents say.
Although both the victim and the accused in the latest case belonged to a group known as "Other Backward Classes", the victims were lower in that hierarchy.
The girls, thought to have been 14 and 15, went missing on Tuesday night. They had apparently gone out to relieve themselves as they had no toilet at home.
Their bodies were discovered the following day. A post-mortem examination confirmed multiple sexual assaults and death due to hanging.
Campaigners have highlighted the lack of sanitation in rural areas as being a risk to women's security as well as their health, as they are often attacked when having to go out to use the toilet, particularly at night.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
The government tightened laws on sexual violence last year after widespread protests following the attack.
Fast-track courts were brought to the fore to deal with rape and the death penalty was also brought in for the most extreme cases.
Some women's groups argue that the low conviction rate for rape should be challenged with more effective policing rather than stiffer sentences. | Seventeen people have been killed in a suspected arson attack on a public bus in the northern Chinese province of Ningxia, say local authorities.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Complaints against the UK's largest mobile operator related to topics ranging from line faults, service and provision issues to bill problems.
Virgin Media had the lowest number of complaints, followed by Sky.
PlusNet, TalkTalk, BT and Post Office HomePhone generated an above average number of complaints, according to Ofcom.
The report, which covers April to December 2014, shows the volumes of consumer complaints about the UK's biggest providers of telecoms and pay-TV services.
EE generated 0.42 broadband complaints for every 1,000 customers, the report found.
Issues cited included faults, service and provision problems as well as how it handled complaints and swapping providers.
EE was also named as the most complained-about provider of pay-monthly mobile services for the first three quarters, although in the last quarter of 2014 it was overtaken by Vodafone.
Tesco was the least complained-about mobile firm.
EE is the UK's biggest mobile phone operator and is due to be acquired by BT as soon as the £12.5bn deal receives regulatory approval.
In response to the survey, the EE said: "We have a comprehensive programme in place to improve service and reduce complaints - and this is borne out by the Ofcom data from last year.
"We know there is more work to do. Through our ongoing, significant investment we want to continue improving, allowing us to deliver the best customer service in the industry."
The highest number of complaints about pay-TV services came from BT TV customers, whose average of 0.15 per 1,000 subscribers was five times the industry average, according to Ofcom.
Sky had the lowest volume of pay TV complaints - 0.01 for every 1,000 customers.
Claudio Pollack, Ofcom's director of content and consumer group, said: "Complaints figures help inform consumers' choices of telecoms and pay-TV services.
"There are now more providers included in our report, so people can compare complaints figures for all the biggest companies."
"While operators still have room to improve their performance, it's encouraging to see a continuing decline in the total volume of complaints."
Ewan Taylor-Gibson, telecoms expert at uSwitch.com, said of the report: "Naming and shaming will encourage telecoms providers to strive to deliver a better service, but it's clear from this report that industry-wide changes could also make a big difference.
"Problems with changing provider is mentioned several times as a customer complaint, which shows it's about time telecoms fell in line with other sectors, where the provider you're moving to handles the switch, rather than the provider you're leaving," he added.

Coppinger rescued a point for his side when he twisted to fire home Matty Blair's corner in the 49th minute.
Crawley started on the front foot and deservedly went ahead when Collins tapped home Jason Banton's cross.
Coppinger fired a free-kick just wide for a disjointed home side, while Rovers' Tommy Rowe saw a goalbound effort from close range blocked.
The visitors offered more of a threat and Banton saw an effort deflected just wide, while Enzio Boldewijn struck a shot onto the roof of the net from the angle of the box.
Coppinger gave the home side a much-needed confidence boost when he met Blair's corner from the right with a superb first-time finish from the edge of the box. Rovers pressed for a winner and went close through Blair, John Marquis and Andy Williams.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Only two days beforehand, Mr Costa, who was elected last September in an unprecedented open primary, said the PS would ignore recommendations made by the International Monetary Fund in reviewing Portugal's post-bailout progress.
His comments prompted fears outside Portugal that the PS was edging towards the radicalism of Greece's ruling Syriza party - potentially endangering Portugal's eurozone status.
The Portuguese have faced years of cuts in wages and pensions.
The impact of recession has been immense, and does not show in headline economic statistics.
In Portugal, the great majority of those registered as unemployed receive no jobless benefits at all, and hundreds of thousands - many of them young and well qualified - have gone abroad to seek work since the crisis broke.
The Socialists' programme was approved on Thursday after several hours of heated debate and key elements remain to be decided.
Mr Costa cited several pledges with major spending implications, including an increase in the school leaving age and 100 new health centres with GPs.
But he also said the party would respect Portugal's international obligations.
The draft manifesto made no mention of an earlier, controversial recommendation by a group of economists for a cut in social security contributions to encourage hiring.
Some fear it could sap the system's finances and Mr Costa has insisted it will be in the final manifesto, to be put to a national convention on 6 June.
Debate is also still raging on a uniform employment contract. Its aim is to stop short-term contracts gaining ground over permanent ones, but it could also end up eroding workers' rights.
Portugal's conservative President Anibal Cavaco Silva has tried to push the Socialists and the ruling coalition to agree to co-operate to ensure the sustainability of public finances.
But Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho said last week such a consensus was unimaginable.
The Socialists have led in the polls for most of the time since Mr Costa took on the leadership of the party, but the gap has now narrowed.
And there is a new party that has genuine links with Greece's Syriza party, as well as Spain's anti-austerity party Podemos, which is presenting a major challenge to the mainstream parties.
Rui Tavares, the leader of Livre, is pushing for Portugal's debt to be restructured.
Livre is unlikely to win more than a seat or two, but with the election on a knife-edge, it could have some clout.
So far there is little sign of investors being spooked by the possibility of a Socialist government.
And while austerity continues to bite and unemployment is still rising, the finances are looking better. Portugal this week, for the first time in its history, sold debt at a negative yield - auctioning €300m euros (£210m) of six-month bills at minus 0.002%.

Thousands of police officers are conducting checks on public transport, stopping cars and questioning drivers as well as other individuals at markets and shops.

Please summarize the given passage. | The actress and UN special envoy recruited local children to star in her film about Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, First They Killed My Father.
She spoke to Vanity Fair about the film and explained how they used a casting game which involved giving money to poor children then taking it away.
The interview caused outrage, with many accusing Jolie of being "exploitative".
In it, Jolie explains how the directors looked through slums and orphanages to find actors for the film, and were "specifically seeking children who had experienced hardship".
Their casting game saw children being asked to snatch some money, and then when caught, come up with a lie for why they stole it.
"Srey Moch [who was selected for the lead role] was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time," Jolie told the magazine.
"When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion... When she was asked later what the money was for, she said her grandfather had died, and they didn't have enough money for a nice funeral."
Jolie, who directed the Netflix film, said it was "false and upsetting" that people misinterpreted her description of the casting process.
"I am upset that a pretend exercise in an improvisation, from an actual scene in the film, has been written about as if it was a real scenario," Jolie said in a statement.
She added: "The point of this film is to bring attention to the horrors children face in war and to help fight to protect them. The suggestion that real money was taken from a child during an audition is false and upsetting. I would be outraged myself if this had happened."
"Every measure was taken to ensure the safety, comfort and well-being of the children on the film starting from the auditions through production to the present," she said.
First They Killed My Father is Jolie's directorial debut for streaming giant Netflix.
It is based on a true-life account of a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide and is told through the eyes of a child.
Jolie told the BBC earlier this year that she hoped the film would help Cambodians speak more openly about their period of trauma.
Jolie's controversial account of casting drew outrage among many, with social media users calling it "emotionally abusive and cruel".
"Angelina Jolie has gone too far," wrote one woman on Facebook. "For someone who constantly declares her love for Cambodia and children, this was a sick and depraved stunt she pulled. Some philanthropist she is."
"Child abuse" was how one Facebook user described it, slamming Jolie's "authentic methods" of casting. "You are no longer welcome in my world. You didn't realise you were dealing with children with post-traumatic syndrome (PTSD) and poverty?"
But some fans stood by Jolie's defence.

"We spoke to some people in Holland who knew him and played against him, and all the reports were good."
El Hassnaoui was with De Graafschap for five years before making the switch to Sparta last year.
"The first conversation we had we told him he's coming in here to develop, but also to help us develop the young boys," added Neilson.
"He was brought up in the Dutch system so he's got a very good tactical knowledge of the game and he understands the game. He can definitely help our younger players to progress as well.
"He can play up front on his own, he can play with a partner or he can play behind the striker. He's very versatile and he's got a lot of talent. He's a good age as well."

Jones was owned by Alteri Investors, whose "value" shoe chain Brantano collapsed earlier this week.
Endless bought the profitable parts of the business under a "pre-pack" administration deal.
Under a pre-pack agreement, a buyer for a firm or its profitable assets is lined up in advance of the administrators being called in.
"We are delighted that we have been able to rescue such an iconic UK footwear brand as Jones Bootmaker, including a high proportion of stores and preserving a large number of jobs, especially given the current economic pressures faced by retailers across the UK," said Will Wright, partner at KPMG and joint administrator.
"This deal recognises the value of Jones as a strong and popular High Street brand with a loyal customer base."
Alteri Investors acquired Jones Bootmaker and Brantano in October 2015. About four months later, Brantano went into administration and Alteri bought it back, minus a few stores.
The chain subsequently faced "difficult trading conditions", and was put into administration on Wednesday after Alteri failed to find a buyer.
What is a pre-pack administration?
The decision comes after "unsatisfactory" vehicle maintenance at Western Greyhound Limited (WGL) and Black Velvet Travel Limited (BVTL).
In one case, a bus lost two wheels when in service on the M3, causing a crash.
Director Michael Bishop has been disqualified from holding or obtaining an operator's licence.
WGL, based near Newquay, is currently in administration and Eastleigh-based BVTL is in liquidation.
The written decision by traffic commissioner Sarah Bell follows a public inquiry on 10 September.
Mr Bishop has also been disqualified from being involved in the management, administration or control of a transport operation.
He became the director of BVTL in August 2014, having previously been the director of a company which went into liquidation owing in excess of £1m, Miss Bell said.
BVTL was placed in compulsory liquidation in June 2015.
In December 2014, two wheels came off a BVTL vehicle on the M3 and one struck an HGV.
The vehicle did not have an MOT, Miss Bell said.
That month, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) was also notified of a number of complaints about the reliability of the BVTL services, and Miss Bell said her office was also told of unsatisfactory maintenance issues at WGL.
WGL was sold to Mr Bishop in December 2014 and went into administration in March 2015.

Ford, replaced by Owen Farrell for defeats against Wales and Australia, returns for England's final Pool A match against Uruguay on Saturday.
His omission from the first two games was one of a number of decisions that raised questions as to whether England backs coach Andy Farrell - Owen's father - was having an undue influence on tactics and team selection. Farrell denied those suggestions.
Meanwhile, Ford's father Mike, a former England assistant who is head coach at Bath, has called for a swift inquest into his country's early World Cup exit.
Ford junior will return to Bath on Monday, following the match against Uruguay in Manchester, and wants to return to Premiership rugby as quickly as possible.
"I'm going to go straight back in - I think most of the other Bath boys are as well - just mainly because I want to carry on playing rugby," he said.
"If I got away from it for a week, all I'd probably do is sulk anyway. I'll crack on and go back training every day and hopefully get a good start to the season with Bath." | The bulk of footwear chain Jones Bootmaker has been sold to investment firm Endless, saving 72 stores and 840 jobs.

Summarize this article briefly. | About 40 firefighters continue to tackle pockets of fire inside Maple Mill in Oldham. The blaze began early on Thursday and has been alight for about 30 hours.
Residents from Cardwell Street are unable to return home due to the "unsafe structure" of the building.
The demolition process could take about three days, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said.
The Honeywell Centre in Hadfield Crescent remains open for residents.
A full investigation into the fire, which started on the upper floor, will begin once the building has been made safe.
A total of 80 firefighters battled for seven hours to bring the huge blaze under control on Thursday.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue warned people not to come to the Cardwell Street mill to watch the demolition.
Group manager Ben Levy said: "Having people come to watch the demolition process wouldn't be helpful to crews.
"And so if your intention is to come to the area for this reason - we urge you to stay away."
Local residents are still being advised to keep their doors and windows closed.
Meanwhile, the mill owner has claimed he warned police and the council about travellers at the site.
Vance Miller, 51, alleges they were charging people to dump illegal tyres and asbestos there.
The kitchen businessman insists the blaze would "never had happened" if the travellers had been evicted.
Mr Miller, who is wanted for questioning over fraud charges, said he was speaking to the BBC from China.
The businessman, who was the subject of a failed Trading Standards prosecution in 2010, claims he told police the travellers had "dismantled" the mill.
He said: "Once they had stripped everything and there was nothing left to strip they then started charging people to dump illegal asbestos and illegal tyres.
"I phoned environmental health services in Oldham and said, look, they were dumping asbestos and tyres there, but they didn't want to know.
"They said: 'We'll nip down there and take a look'. What did they do? Nothing.
"If the council had done as I'd asked it wouldn't have happened. If the police had done as I'd asked it wouldn't have happened."
Oldham Council has said it received reports of caravans at the mill in September and reported concerns to the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive.
Jean Stretton, Oldham Council leader, said: "As the site is privately owned we contacted the owners' solicitors to advise them and remind them of their legal obligations to keep the building and site safe."

Please summarize the given passage. | He was removed as the head of The Energy and Resources Institute in Delhi (TERI) in July when a female employee accused him of harassment.
However, he was recently awarded a newly-created senior post at TERI.
The latest accusation by a second employee has caused widespread outrage.
Dr Pachauri has denied all accusations against him.
"Dr RK Pachauri, who had been at the head of the institute since 1982 will be on leave from TERI, TERI Governing Council, and TERI University till this is reviewed by the Governing Council given the subjudice nature of the matter," the think tank said in a statement on Friday evening.
Earlier this week, TERI appointed Mr Pachauri to a newly-created post of executive vice chairman, after his successor took over his previous position as director general.
The latest complaint by a former employee came just after news of his new job emerged.
In a statement issued by her lawyers, the woman who joined TERI in 2003 and worked there for over a year accused Mr Pachauri of making "sexually loaded remarks", kissing her forcibly and asking "intrusive questions" about her personal life.
She described him as a "serial sexual harasser" and said harassment by Mr Pachauri was an "open secret" in the think tank.
After the first accusation was made in February last year, a court barred Mr Pachauri from TERI's offices. It later allowed him to return while still on bail, on condition that he stayed away from his alleged victim. He was also removed as chief of TERI for a year.
He resigned as the head of the UN climate change panel in the wake of the allegations.
In 2007 he collected the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the organisation, for its work in the scientific assessment of the risks and causes of climate change.

Kubo director Travis Knight, meanwhile, said he was "thrilled and thankful" to be recognised for a film he said had been "a wholehearted labour of love".
Others to have tweeted reactions to the nominations include actor Russell Tovey, who said it was "huge" that his drama The Pass was shortlisted.
The Pass, in which Tovey plays a closeted gay footballer, receives a nomination in the outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer category for its writer John Donnelly and director, Ben A Williams.
This year's nominations were announced by Dominic Cooper and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner at Bafta's central London HQ.

The venue beat five other buildings to win the honour - the Royal Institute of British Architects' highest accolade.
Riba president Stephen Hodder called the Everyman an "exceptional new building".
"It is a ground-breaking example of how to build a daring bold and highly sustainable large public building in a historic city centre," he said.
The Everyman Theatre - famed for launching the careers of actors including Bill Nighy, Julie Walters and Pete Postlethwaite - first opened in 1964 in the shell of a 19th Century chapel on one of Liverpool's main streets.
However over the years it fell into a state of disrepair and architects Haworth Tompkins were tasked with designing a new theatre as part of a nine-year £27m rebuilding project, retaining its theme of being a "theatre for the people".
The building's facade features 105 punched aluminium panels portraying life-size images of Liverpool residents. Thousands queued to have their pictures taken, with the successful applicants having digital versions of their pictures etched onto the metal sun shades.
"The success of this exceptional new building lies in the architect's close involvement with the local community throughout the project," Mr Hodder said.
"Haworth Tompkins have struck the perfect balance between continuity and change to win the hearts and minds of the people of Liverpool with the vibrant new Everyman."
The theatre said it was "thrilled" to win the award.
"The Everyman was built with humanity at its heart," artistic director Gemma Bodinetz said.
"Since we reopened, the warmth of feeling from the public to their much-loved Everyman - given a daring and brilliant rebirth - has been almost overwhelming.
"Haworth Tompkins have delivered us a building that is sustainable, technically first rate and with unparalleled levels of accessibility for a theatre."
Steve Tompkins of Haworth Tompkins said: "Winning the Riba Stirling Prize is an enormous honour for our project team and our clients, the reward for an intensive collaboration over almost a decade, during which we have grown to love the Everyman and the great city that it serves.
"It is also an important endorsement of our studio's ethos and an encouragement to carry on working the way we do, despite the pressures all of us are under to speed up and dumb down. We couldn't be more delighted."
The other shortlisted buildings included London's Shard and the Library of Birmingham - which topped the BBC News website readers' poll with 30% of about 90,000 votes.

The company grew out of a project to help their father, a property lawyer who lectured at the University of Cape Town, to extend his teaching to professionals who had no chance of attending lectures.
They were aware of a massive hunger among African professionals for expert, high-quality "up-skilling" - especially in fast-changing fields of IT, commerce, law and accounting.

"We talked to UCT [University of Cape Town]. It was hard work convincing them but eventually they agreed to run a trial," said Rob Paddock.
The pilot short courses they developed were marketed under the UCT banner, and provided successful students with a certificate from one of Africa's top higher education institution.
The results for those first students were "so good that the UCT people said, let's do more".
GetSmarter now has 350 employees and wants to expand into international markets.
"There's a South African mentality, that makes me quite sad," Rob Paddock said. "It's that we need to learn from the world... that all the innovation needs to come from the outside, in."
"I believe we undervalue ourselves".
But the lower value of the South African economy, with its weak currency and lower cost of living, has actually worked to the advantage of these educational technology start-ups.
"We have a real competitive advantage," Rob Paddock said. Cape Town is much cheaper. "We can attract the right world class talent. But we get the same skills five to seven times cheaper than in the UK or US."
It means they can offer courses at a much lower cost than the big business schools, and yet still make a profit for themselves and the partnering institutions.
As well as working with MIT. GetSmarter is developing short online courses with the University of Chicago, and, according to Rob Paddock, is close to reaching an agreement with a "top tier university in the UK".
The courses developed with MIT are being closely monitored by Professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, founding faculty director of the MIT Connection Science Research Initiative.
Prof Pentland was enthusiastic about an approach which he felt added the human-to-human interaction missing from many online courses.
"In many Moocs, you're by yourself," he said. "With the GetSmarter model there's a teaching support person for every 25 or 30 students."
These are the "course coaches", typically recruited from counselling or psychology backgrounds. Based at the HQ in Cape Town, they track each of their assigned students' progress via a "dashboard", and intervene to praise or encourage whenever necessary.
As important, from Prof Pentland's point of view, was the ability to foster peer-to-peer interaction.
"If you look at executive education at any leading business school, you have lectures, but you also have these things they call table exercises, which are the students talking with each other, asking each other 'what does this mean?', bringing their own experience into play, getting to know each other.
"All this makes it a much richer experience," Prof Pentland said. That means "the same material works a lot better, they have a much higher retention rate, and deeper understanding".
They have a high course completion rate for online study - well over 90% across all their courses.
The courses generate massive amounts of data - every mouse-click, every student or tutor interaction, is recorded, everything is assessed. MIT, as the client, also gets this data, and Prof Pentland is excited at the prospect ultimately of publishing the findings.
"Once we really understand this, everyone will be able to pick it up. There will be different models, for profit and not," he said. "The idea is to go beyond the Mooc, to a model where people work together and learn. And then to implement it in open source."
He was not surprised that the impetus should be coming from South Africa or Asia rather than the US or Europe.
"It's in countries like South Africa where you have the biggest distance problems. There are smart people all over, and they tend to respond to the problem at hand."
Exactly what will emerge in five years time from these developments - and whether, as some predict, artificial intelligence will play a key role, is anyone's guess. Rob Paddock and Prof Pentland suggest real live humans will always have a place. | When Moocs - "massive online open courses" - first launched a few years ago they offered the prospect of unfettered expansion for higher education. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Karim Hamdy was detained in Cairo in February, accused of belonging to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
A forensic report showed he died two days later. His ribs were fractured and he had suffered a brain haemorrhage.
The Muslim Brotherhood was removed from power in 2013. The Egyptian government has conducted a crackdown against it since.
Human rights groups say dozens of lawyers have been jailed for defending Muslim Brotherhood members.
What's become of Egypt's ex-President Morsi?
Profile: Muslim Brotherhood
Those convicted of torturing Mr Hamdy to death in Cairo's Matariya district are a lieutenant-colonel and a major.
Mr Hamdy, 27, was beaten to try to force him to admit to a series of allegations, including involvement in anti-government violence.
Mr Hamdy's case attracted particular attention, says BBC Middle East analyst Alan Johnston, because of his standing as a respected lawyer.
"The verdict is a condemnation of the torture policy in police stations and confirms that the victim was tortured and killed by the two officers," lawyer Mohamed Othman, representing Mr Hamdy's family, told Reuters news agency.
The policemen are allowed to appeal against the verdict.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has promised to investigate all allegations of police abuses which human rights activists say have been on the rise since the coup in 2013.
Nine policemen were committed for trial on Thursday on charges of beating a detainee to death in a police station in the southern town of Luxor.
In a separate development, a trial of 739 people has been postponed because there are too many defendants.
Police say they will not fit in the court's cage-style dock.
The defendants face murder charges linked to protests by supporters of the ousted Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi. | A court in Egypt has given five-year jail terms to two policemen convicted of torturing a lawyer to death. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Burundi has been hit been by deadly protests and a failed coup since President Pierre Nkurunziza announced his bid for a third term in April.
Mr Nkurunziza has been under pressure from both African and Western governments to postpone elections.
Burundi's Foreign Minister Alain Nyamitwe told the BBC that elections would be held by 26 August.
This is when the constitutional limit of the government ends, he said.
One of Burundi's main opposition leaders, Agathon Rwasa, told BBC's Newsday programme that Mr Nkurunziza was a "dictator" who should step down.
Elections could not be held until security improved, a neutral electoral commission was appointed and a crackdown on private media ended, he said.
The international community needed to get involved to help "secure conditions for good elections", Mr Rwasa added.
"We are calling for democracy and not for a dictatorship," he said.
The parliamentary elections had been scheduled to take place on Friday and the presidential poll on 26 June.
BBC World Service Africa editor Richard Hamilton says it looks as though Mr Nkurunziza has finally bowed to outside pressure to postpone these controversial elections - certainly from regional leaders if not Western governments.
However, the move is unlikely to stop the protests which have killed more than 20 people, he says.
Last weekend, regional leaders meeting in the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam called for both the delay and an end to the violence.
Opposition parties in Burundi said earlier on Wednesday they would be prepared to resume talks with the government on the crisis.
The opposition says the 51-year-old Mr Nkurunziza's bid to extend his 10-year rules contravenes the constitution, which states a president can only serve two terms.
But Mr Nkurunziza argues that he is entitled to another term because he was first elected by parliament in 2005 - not voters. The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of the president.
Earlier in May, he survived a coup attempt while he was in Dar es Salaam for talks with regional leaders on the crisis.
The coup was launched by Maj Gen Godefroid Niyombare, a former ally of the president.
His whereabouts are unknown. | Burundi's government has postponed parliamentary and presidential elections that were due this month. |

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The Russian president signed similar documents last week, so the New Start treaty will come into effect when the papers are exchanged this weekend.
The treaty was approved by the US Senate in December and by the Russian parliament last month.
It replaces the 1991 Start treaty which expired in December 2009.
The New Start treaty, agreed to by Mr Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April, limits each side to no more than 800 deployed nuclear warhead delivery systems (including bombers, missile launchers and nuclear submarines), a cut of about 50%. It limits each side to 1,550 deployed warheads.
It will also allow each side visually to inspect the other's nuclear capability, with the aim of verifying how many warheads each missile carries.
The White House barred reporters from the Oval Office when Mr Obama signed the treaty, but allowed still photographers.
The pact, opposed by many Republicans, could become an issue in the 2012 US political campaign.
Among other criticisms, US opponents of the treaty argued Russia would have reduced stockpiles anyway as its arsenal aged, so the US had no reason to agree to scrap its own nuclear arms. | US President Barack Obama has signed an arms treaty with Russia that would reduce the nations' nuclear arsenals and bolster verification mechanisms. |
Give a concise summary of the following information. | Mr Mckeague, 23, based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds on 23 September.
He was last spotted on CCTV walking alone in Brentgovel Street at 03:25 BST the next day.
Suffolk Police closed one lane of the eastbound A14 between the Moreton Hall and Rougham junctions.
It remained coned-off from 10:00 until just after lunchtime.
Their search was due to cover a mile-and-a-half stretch of the road.
Over the past few weeks officers have been carrying out extensive work to locate Mr Mckeague, originally from Dunfermline in Fife.
Detectives believe he stopped for a brief nap in a doorway before setting off to walk the nine miles (15km) back to the RAF Honington base alone.
Police said dozens of people have been spoken to and hundreds of lines of inquiry followed up but are still urging anyone with information to come forward.
A trace on his mobile phone, which has not been found, showed it was in Bury St Edmunds early on 24 September but then moved to the Barton Mills area.
Facebook and Twitter pages have been set up appealing for information to help the police inquiry.
A police spokeswoman said today's lane closure was a follow-up to a "potential line of inquiry", but it had provided no new information to the missing person inquiry. | One lane of a dual carriageway was closed by police investigating the disappearance of airman Corrie Mckeague. |
