Summarize the content of the document below. | Key questions are: "How often will it flood, and how big will the events be?"
Engineers can then design and build the defence infrastructure suitable to the task.
In the modern era, we've relied on records of precipitation and river flow to help gauge flood risk.
But this is problematic because our data on rainfall only goes back a couple of hundred years in a few locations, and good measurements of river flows are shorter still - just a matter of decades.
That is really too short to capture the full range of possibilities in terms of flood frequency and magnitude.
It is why the National Flood Resilience Review published on Thursday wants to see greater use of "information from historic sources (for example newspaper reports, photographs, and sediments)".
This is work done by the likes of Richard Chiverrell, David Sear, Jeff Warburton and Daniel Schillereff (Liverpool, Southampton, Durham, Kings College London universities).
The team has been studying the sediments in four lakes in Cumbria.
In amongst their typically fine-grained brown bottom-muds are numerous layers of sand.
This is the material washed into the lakes whenever there is a colossal downpour, such as that delivered by Storm Desmond last December and which brought misery to Cumbria.
The size of the sand grains is related to the magnitude of a flood: a bigger event will have the energy to carry larger particles.
The team has a lot of confidence in its methods - for both flood magnitude and frequency.
Back in December, the group happened to have sediment traps in place on Brotherswater to see how Desmond washed material into the lake.
The scientists saw precisely how the flood plume, with its load of sand, entered the main body of water and then settled out.
"It was very important because it allowed us to test that the sediment record that we've been interpreting as a flood really is a flood," Prof Chiverrell said.
The spacing of the sand layers is a telltale for how often floods occur.
The UK Natural Environment Research Council has funded this investigation through its Urgency Programme, including the on-going investigations in the lakes of Buttermere, Bassenthwaite, Ullswater and Brotherswater, but already new insights are emerging.
In Bassenthwaite, for example, the team has an unpublished sediment record stretching back more than 600 hundred years - back beyond AD 1400. The Brotherswater record is even longer in duration.
They are represented by one long core drilled through the bottom of the lake, and a series of shorter "satellite" cores drilled around it.
The team has also been very fortunate in building its chronology to have some special time markers.
The Lake District has a long and well documented history of metal mining. And mixed in the sand layers are traces of copper, lead, zinc and even barytes that reflect the periods when particular industries were dominant.
"You can see the signature of Goldscope mine when German technologists came in around AD 1560 and started extracting the copper. We see this early copper spike in the sediments. We've also got an independent chronology as well; at the base of the core from radiocarbon, and there are also markers (radiocaesium) in there from nuclear weapons testing and from Chernobyl," Prof Chiverrell explained.
The team hopes to publish its full paleoflood analysis shortly, but from the preview given at this year's European Geosciences Union meeting it is clear we are living in extraordinary times.
Two-thirds of the biggest floods in the Bassenthwaite sediment record have occurred in the past 20 years.
Nothing like them has been seen since the first Queen Elizabeth was on the throne.
"The people living in the Lake District today are very aware that they're experiencing a flood-rich period, and the last 20 years contains some of the largest flood events - 2009, 2005, 2015 and 1995 in order of severity," Prof Chiverrell told BBC News.
"In any discussion about the recent floods, the issue of 'attribution' is always a keen topic. But it is difficult to be certain because there are many controls influencing the intensity and track of storms across the UK.
"That said, the recent spate of extreme floods does correspond with the move into a warmer world."

Summarize this article briefly. | The wreck is the final resting place of as many as 700 US sailors and marines, the Navy said.
US and Indonesian divers discovered evidence that pieces of the hull and unexploded ordnance had been removed.
The site is a popular underwater dive spot, and officials are co-ordinating its conservation.
"In my discussions with our Indonesian navy partners, they share our sense of obligation to protect this and other gravesites," Adm Harry Harris, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, said in a statement.
The Houston, nicknamed "the Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast", sank during the Battle of Sunda Strait on 28 February 1942. Its commanding officer, Capt Albert Rooks, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest US military decoration, for extraordinary heroism during the battle.
All 1,068 sailors and marines on board were presumed dead after the sinking. But when the war ended in 1945, 291 sailors and marines who survived the sinking and three years in prisoner of war camps were repatriated to the US.
US officials laid a wreath at the site in June to commemorate the loss of the ship, but it was only on Monday that the Navy's History and Heritage Command confirmed the wreck was consistent with the sunken warship. | The US Navy has confirmed a wreck found on the bottom of the Java Sea is the USS Houston, a cruiser sunk by the Japanese in World War Two. |
Give a short summary of the provided document. | They also highlight the fragility of the British government's Brexit timetable, given the Supreme Court deliberations on whether parliament needs to approve the triggering of Article 50.
Jean-Jacques Mevel of France's Le Figaro sees Mr Barnier demanding a "change of tone" from Britain, and suspects that the "threat of a hard Brexit is emerging" from an EU "frustrated at the lack of a precise British roadmap".
Like many other reporters, he links Mr Barnier's comments with calls by Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch head of the EU finance ministers' Eurogroup, for Britain to "adopt a different attitude" if it wants a "soft" Brexit.
Cecile Ducourtieux of France's Le Monde agrees that EU negotiators are frustrated with "Britain's great confusion over Brexit", hence Mr Barnier's warning that "time is running out".
Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung sees the EU "forcing the pace" of Britain's exit at a time when Prime Minister Theresa May is already under pressure from anti-Brexit rebels in her own party, and Christian Gouerou of Ouest-France cautions EU leaders that Britain "may not be in a strong position at the moment, but it could be formidable in the actual negotiations".
Italy's La Repubblica says Mr Barnier's remarks were an "invitation to Britain both to speed up the process and clarify its position", and that his performance "confirms predictions that Britain will face a pretty tough negotiator".
Maciej Czarnecki of Poland's Gazeta Wyborcza says German Chancellor Angela Merkel's comments to her party conference that Britain could not "cherry pick" the four basic freedoms of the EU were "in the same vein" as Mr Barnier's.
He adds that the 18-month timetable also "puts Britain up against the wall", especially as ministers were counting on at least two years.
But Turin's La Stampa says forthcoming elections in France, Germany and The Netherlands means that "many European leaders are worried that the actual negotiations could be reduced to just one year", rather than Mr Barnier's 18 months.
Claudi Perez of Spain's El Pais also thinks Mr Barnier gave notice of a "looming hard Brexit".
He deems this understandable as an "easy exit would be tasty bait for openly anti-European parties in next year's three crucial elections in Holland, France - especially France - and Germany".
The Supreme Court hearing is widely reported, with much speculation as to whether it could further delay the Brexit timetable.
This is certainly the view of Balazs Bacskai on Hungary's pro-government news website 888.hu. He says the Supreme Court could "endanger Brexit", especially as discipline among Tory MPs "is not as strong as in Hungary".
Many European newspapers comment on the heated tone of the debate over the Supreme Court.
Le Monde's Philippe Bernard says the "fate of Brexit lies in the hands" of the eleven judges, and contrasts the "muted atmosphere" in the court with the pro-Brexit press "letting rip" over the judges' alleged "europhilia, sexuality, and even the price of their homes".
Florentin Collomp of Le Figaro believes the Brexit referendum awakened "chauvinist hysteria", leading to Gina Miller, who initiated the case against the government over Article 50, having to arrive at court "flanked by bodyguards".
France's leftwing Liberation also focuses on the "ordeal of Gina Miller" in an interview, in which she rails against the "vicious xenophobic campaign" in the tabloid press against her. Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung agrees that "emotions are boiling over" as "newspapers are also hounding judges".
Germany's top-selling tabloid Bild devotes an admiring profile to "self-styled adrenaline junkie" Gina Miller, saying she "hasn't run out of surprises yet... and it is only a matter of time before the 'Black Widow' strikes again".

Summarize the information in the following section. | The Picture House, on the the banks of Campbeltown Loch, celebrated its centenary in May 2013.
Campbeltown Community Business, which owns and runs the A-listed art deco cinema, said the amount of improvement work needed meant it was unsustainable.
Efforts will continue to raise cash for the restoration of the building, which the company hopes to reopen in 2016.
In a statement, Campbeltown Community Business said: "Despite having had its best season for ticket sales in many years, and receiving extremely positive comments from the community following the recent changes in the operation, the Picture House is in need of substantial improvement before it can become a sustainable modern cinema.
"The volunteer board will focus their time and endeavours to secure a current shortfall in the £3m funding required to redevelop the facilities and create a modernised and refurbished cinema to better serve the local community in a sustainable manner."
The Picture House - known locally as the Wee Pictures - was one of the first purpose-built cinemas in Scotland when it opened in 1913.
It has been open continuously since then, except for a hiatus in the late 1980s.
Earlier this year, the cinema started showing live events such as operas and plays and improved the range of films available each week.
Jane Mayo, who chairs Campbeltown Community Business, said: "Having fought long and hard to secure the future of the Picture House, with regret we have been left with no option other than to cease trading in our current form for the short-term future.
"There have been recent successes, for example streaming live events from Andre Rieu and Monty Python and live theatre from Mull Theatre, but the building requires a significant refurbishment to meet the needs of all members of the community."
Mrs Mayo added: "Campbeltown Community Business will continue to fundraise to reach our development target of £3m in funding, which will see The Picture House re-open in 2016 with a brand new second screen, a new foyer and cafe bar.
"We have developed a business plan which clearly demonstrates that a redeveloped Picture House will be able to perform much better financially and be a sustainable community enterprise.
"The two screen operation will allow a much expanded range of films, as well as event cinema performances and even heritage related activities."
Rob Arthur, the interim manager of Campbeltown Picture House, is also managing director of the Thurso Cinema.
He said: "We are fully committed to supporting Campbeltown Community Business over the next two years as they aim to secure funding to re-develop and re-open The Picture House.
"The business needs to focus on providing a cinema for the people of Campbeltown and Kintyre which maintains the heritage of the current building and engages with all ages and all parts of the community using the latest digital technology.
"After re-development the cinema will be a significant local employer and we look forward to welcoming customers back to the Picture House on completion of re-development works." | One of the oldest cinemas in Europe is to close at the end of this month with the loss of seven jobs. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | Charlie Flanagan said an important breakthrough was made on Friday morning and he detected a determination on everybody's part to reach an agreement.
The talks are on flags, parades, the legacy of the Troubles and welfare.
Mr Flanagan predicted that an agreement was possible if not on Monday, then "a short time after".
However he accepted that everyone was waiting for Prime Minister David Cameron's response to the five Northern Ireland Executive parties' proposals on finances.
The five main parties have asked the UK government for £2bn in loans and extra funding over a 10-year period, the BBC understands.
In an interview with the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ, Mr Flanagan said there had been progress on Troubles legacy issues as well as finances on Friday.
However, he added that "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed".
In a statement on Friday night, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said efforts to achieve a comprehensive agreement have so far been inconclusive.
"Progress has been made and today the five parties have agreed a set of proposals regarding public finance that would enable the executive to use its powers to protect the most vulnerable, and to invest in building peace and reconciliation and welfare safeguards.
"These proposals require additional financial support.
"There has yet to be agreement on the outstanding issues of identity, parades and the legacy of the past," Mr McGuinness added.
The five main parties' request to the UK government includes a peace investment fund and cash to pay for public bodies that would examine the legacy of the Troubles.
They have asked the Treasury to write off £214m in fines imposed on the executive for its delay in implementing welfare reform.
The negotiations continued late into the evening again but finished shortly after 22:00 GMT.
Speaking at Stormont, Mr Flanagan said he and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers would resume talks on Monday. | The Irish foreign minister has said he is hopeful that there will be a deal in Northern Ireland's cross-party talks early next week. |
Can you summarize the following information? | Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said that Brexit Secretary David Davis did not make a commitment to underwrite the funding during their meeting on Thursday.
The finance minister said that up to £300m could be lost.
Mr Davis also met First Minister Arlene Foster on his first Belfast visit.
'Frank exchange'
Mr Ó Muilleoir told BBC Radio Ulster that he and Mr Davis had "a very frank exchange", but on the subject of Brexit "we are as far apart as Belfast is from Boston".
"I believe we should respect the vote to remain, that the people here in the north voted to remain in the heart of Europe," he said.
Mr Ó Muilleoir said he asked the Brexit secretary "to make a real effort" on behalf of bodies that are dependent on EU peace funds.
He said the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, had said he would guarantee EU "letters of offer" issued before his autumn statement.
Mr Ó Muilleoir said this was "probably the first week of December. That leaves up to £300m with a question mark over it".
The finance minister said the best Mr Davis could do was "to say that he would feed that back in".
'Not good enough'
He said he told the Brexit Secretary that "in my view that isn't good enough, you need to press harder than that".
Speaking after his meeting with Mrs Foster, Mr Davis underlined the importance of controlling immigration and said that "we have to take control of our borders".
He identified the single energy market, exports and the skills base as "things which are important to making Brexit a success in Northern Ireland".
Both Mr Davis and Mrs Foster campaigned for a leave vote in the EU referendum and believe Brexit offers excellent potential trade opportunities.
Noor Hassan Barre, 22, was found at Middlesex University campus in Hendon at about 01:10 GMT on 31 October. He died from a stab wound to the chest.
Sodiq Adebayo, 21, from Ilford and Kevin Mao, 20, from Tottenham are due to appear at Barkingside and Wimbledon Magistrates' Courts on Wednesday.
Two other people arrested in connection with the death have been bailed.
Clifford Irons, 39, is from Castlemara Drive in the town.
A police officer told the court in Belfast that the two guns were found in a car which, he said, the police could link to Mr Irons.
The police officer said the case was linked to a feud involving the UDA in east Antrim.
He told the court that Mr Irons was "heavily involved in this".
The officer said the guns were loaded and a bullet in one of them was "doctored" to have more effect.
The police officer also said that during a search of a house, they found a bag of balaclavas and gloves along with a notebook of "things to do".
A solicitor for Mr Irons challenged how the police could link the defendant to the guns.
He claimed that there was nothing to directly connect Mr Irons to the car where the guns were uncovered.
The judge remanded Mr Irons in custody, to appear in court again on 19 December. | Stormont's finance minister has said the UK government must do more to ensure that European peace and cross-border funding is secured as part of the Brexit negotiations.

The Belgians were leading through Andy Najar's 71st-minute header when Wenger brought on Joel Campbell, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski.
And two goals in the final two minutes from Kieran Gibbs and Podolski earned an unlikely 2-1 win in Brussels.
"It's a gambling situation in these games and it worked," said Wenger.
Arsenal dominated possession without creating many clear-cut chances and were punished when Honduras winger Najar gave Anderlecht the advantage.
And they were fortunate not to fall further behind as Najar and Anthony Vanden Borre wasted chances to double the home side's lead.
"In the last five minutes in the Champions League the nerves play a part and we had to get into these five minutes without conceding a second goal," said Wenger.
"I had hope, it maybe didn't look like it, but it happened.
"The crucial point was when we were 1-0 down and they couldn't take advantage with the chance for the second goal."
The Gunners' remarkable fightback leaves them well placed to reach the Champions League knockout phase for the 12th consecutive season.
Second-placed Arsenal have six points at the halfway stage of Group D, three behind German side Borussia Dortmund who have a perfect record of three wins.
Anderlecht's late capitulation - which means they have not won in their last 11 Champions League ties - leaves them five points adrift of Wenger's team ahead of next month's return fixture at Emirates Stadium.
Then, the Gunners host Dortmund on 26 November before their final group game at Galatasaray on 9 December.
"It (the win) was vital for us to have a chance to qualify," said Wenger, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Wednesday.
"We are in a strong position now. It's down to us now. Win our home games and we are through." | Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says his tactical 'gamble' paid dividends as they earned a dramatic Champions League comeback victory at Anderlecht. |
Please summarize the given passage. | Patricia Gaffey, Michael Gaffey and Joseph Gaffey of Porthmadog Skip Hire pleaded guilty to all charges, including breaching permit conditions.
They also failed to comply with two enforcement notices and a suspension notice.
They were each sentenced to 10 months in prison.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) officers found the business was storing more waste than it was allowed to on its yard at Penamser Industrial Estate.
Under the terms of its permit, it was allowed to keep up to 5,000 tonnes of waste per year on site, stored in appropriate areas.
But NRW estimated it was storing 7,800 tonnes of waste on the site, which was not stored correctly.
The waste was considered to pose a risk of serious pollution and a risk to human health, particularly if caught fire.
Dylan Williams, operations manager for NRW, said: "We always try to work with businesses to make sure they comply with the conditions in their permit.
"But, in cases like this, when a business has been given every opportunity to comply with the conditions in their permit but fail to do so, we have to take legal action to ensure the safety of the local environment, community and the interests of legitimate operators." | The owners of a Gwynedd skip hire business have been jailed for illegally storing waste. |
Can you summarize this passage? | Sixteen sides with Category One academies are involved in 2016-17 but League One and Two teams must play a certain number of first-team players.
"How can we have a development trophy for Premier League teams who can do what they want, yet we can't develop our own players in it?" said Robinson.
In response, the EFL said it will "continue to assess the format".
An EFL spokesman said: "The revised format of the Checkatrade Trophy, which is a one-year pilot, is part of the EFL's long-term commitment to help the nation produce more and better homegrown players.
"It has also been designed to help reinvigorate the competition for the benefit of League One and Two clubs as it was widely felt that it had lost some of its purpose in previous seasons."
Robinson's Dons face Peterborough in the group stage of the competition on Tuesday, and must have in their starting line-up the five highest appearance-makers in the team, five players who played the preceding fixture or five who play in the next league match.
Sides with Category One academies in the competition, such as Leicester and Chelsea, must start at least six players under the age of 21, but the rest of the squad can come from their first team if they choose.
Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio: "I think the rules need to change drastically, or don't have the competition.
"I don't think it is conducive to development anymore. I think it's rubbish.
"If they made this an open competition where we could all play our under-21s, play players to get fit, close half the stands, and make it more of a competition for development.
"Don't make it just a development competition for Premier League teams when clubs like us work so hard to develop our own players." | The current format of the Checkatrade Trophy is "rubbish", according to MK Dons manager Karl Robinson. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | Dozens of youths threw projectiles at police, who responded by charging at them.
Demonstrators were protesting over issues including unemployment, poverty and official corruption.
They want the government not to pay its international debts and do more to improve health and education.
The BBC's Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid says protesters travelled from all corners of Spain, many of them making the journey on foot, in order to voice their anger.
They called their protest the march of dignity, our correspondent says, because they say that the government of Mariano Rajoy is stripping Spaniards of just that.
For many of them, the cutbacks that Mr Rajoy has implemented, in particular to health and education, are causing Spain irreparable damage.
Although most of the demonstration took place peacefully, violence broke out later on Friday with a number of arrests and several policeman injured.
Analysts say that Spain came out of recession in the second half of 2013.
But unemployment soared with the government's labour reforms which reduced the cost of hiring and firing. | Violence has broken out at the end of an anti-austerity protest attended by tens of thousands of people in the Spanish capital Madrid. |
Summarize the passage below. | The Scottish Local Government Partnership (SLGP) comprises of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire councils.
They broke away from umbrella group Cosla last year.
Ms Constance said the government "will only negotiate with one body".
Cosla remains the only forum for official government funding negotiations, so the breakaway SLGP lodged papers at the Court of Session on Friday to take legal action to assert their right to be formally consulted.
Ms Constance has now written to the SLGP offering a meeting.
The group has hailed the move as a "huge breakthrough" in their relations with the Scottish government.
Convener Jenny Laing said: "They were never going to give us equal negotiating rights with Cosla straight away but the fact that they have both recognised their statutory duty to talk to all local authorities, combined with the offer of bilaterals with ministers and the SLGP, clearly shows that a process is now under way and that will be welcomed by the 1.3 million people we represent across Scotland."
She added: "The members in the SLGP represent 47% of Scotland's economy. We have the ideas, passion and drive to grow Scotland's wealth. All we need now are the powers to do it."
"The reason we left Cosla was because we felt powerless to fight the cuts being handed down.
"The political landscape is shifting rapidly and we all must work closer together in a new era of collaboration in order to get the best possible deal for ordinary, hard-working families."
Responding last week to the SLGP's threat of legal action, a Scottish government spokesman said: "We will only negotiate on the final settlement with Cosla, the representative body for Scotland's local authorities.
"However, we have a statutory responsibility to consult all 32 councils on the terms of the local government finance settlement."

The Met Office said gusts reached speeds of up to 47mph in Kirkwall on Friday.
The incident was captured on camera by agricultural firm manager Andy Mair.
"There were at least 20 people helping to get it pegged down again," he said.
Mr Cameron visited two businesses in County Antrim.
His first stop was at the Bushmills whiskey distillery. He then travelled to a farm in Ahoghill.
Northern Ireland farming relies heavily on EU subsidies and Mr Cameron said leaving the EU would be a huge risk.
"I would say it comes down to a very simple argument, which is do we want a greater United Kingdom inside the European Union with the safety, the strength and the prosperity?" he said.
"Or do we want a great leap in the dark?
"And I think particularly when it comes to farming you know what we have today - you know about the market access, you know about what we can do and we could be putting all that at risk which I think would be very, very damaging for Britain's farmers and for farmers here in Northern Ireland."
Mr Cameron also said that if the UK left the European Union, current arrangements at the Irish border could be affected.
"It's for the people who want us to leave who need to answer these questions," he said.
"Are they going to put in place harder border arrangements between Northern Ireland and the Republic? What would queues be like, how long would it take people to get across the border? Is that what they're contemplating?"
London Mayor Boris Johnson, who is campaigning to leave the EU, will visit Northern Ireland on Monday.
Mr Johnson is one of the most high-profile politicians campaigning for Britain to leave the EU.
In the Times on Saturday he said the vote was a golden opportunity to "take back control, to renew our approach to law making, to strike new trade deals around the world, to galvanise our economy and politics and to give people confidence back in their country."
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers has previously announced she will vote to leave the EU, describing it as the "safer option".
She says her vote would be "to take back control over our country and making our laws and controlling our borders". | Communities Secretary Angela Constance is to meet leaders of a Labour-led council splinter group to hear their concerns about being "frozen out" of funding talks.

Summarize the following content briefly. | A serious case review concluded that Kesia Leatherbarrow from Chorley, Lancashire, was let down but her death was "probably not preventable".
The 17-year-old's body was found hanged in a garden on 3 December 2013, three days after she was arrested.
Tameside Safeguarding Children Board's report said errors would "probably not have stopped her" from taking her life.
The teenager had been excluded from school for possession of cannabis, had been using drugs and had self-harmed and received treatment at a specialist mental health unit, the review found.
The official report examined the contact Kesia had had with Greater Manchester Police and Lancashire Youth Offending Service and identified a series of failings.
It found her transfer to Tameside was poorly handled.
It also highlighted a number of failures when she was held at Ashton-under-Lyne police station, including the fact that specialist officers who deal with vulnerable children were not consulted.
When she was released from custody she threatened to jump from a bridge - but that information was not shared with other professionals.
The review said she had stayed at a mental health facility in the summer of 2013, but no mental illness was diagnosed.
But it concluded: "The review cannot say with any degree of confidence that, if any alternative approaches had been taken, it would have prevented the tragic death."
An inquest in February also found "woeful failings" by police but said they did not contribute to her death.
The review also found her mother and stepfather were "very distressed" and "felt angry and let down by services generally in trying to respond to an escalating level of emotional distress and conflict over several months".
Furthermore, Kesia was "never identified" as a child in need who required protection or as having additional educational or social needs. The overall pattern of intervention was "too much focus on the immediate signs and symptoms", the report found.
The inability of all services "to see her as a vulnerable child, rather than a troubled or troublesome young adult was a common and recurring theme".
David Niven, chair of Tameside Safeguarding Children Board, said: "She essentially had been treated more like an adult than a child.
"The Police and Criminal Evidence regulations have now been altered, partly as a result of this case."
He added: "There's absolutely no question that anybody under 18 has to be treated as a child."
Kesia's parents successfully campaigned for a change in the law, meaning arrested 17-year-olds who are held overnight now have the same rights to be transferred to local authority accommodation as younger children.
Greater Manchester Police said the Independent Police Complaints Commission investigated how officers dealt with Kesia and were awaiting its findings.
At the time of the inquest, an IPCC spokesman said an investigation into her detention found six custody sergeants, a civilian custody officer and four other police officers showed "a collective apathy towards providing care for detainees".
Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family of Kesia Leatherbarrow, who have understandably been left devastated by her tragic death and I have personally passed on my condolences.
"We accept as an organisation there were shortcomings in the care that we provided to Kesia and following her death we introduced new care processes for those in police custody for whom we have concerns of self-harm in the hope such a tragedy will never occur again."
Lancashire County Councillor Matthew Tomlinson said: "Our sympathies remain with her family.
"We have already learned from these events, and have improved and clarified how we share information as a result." | A troubled teenager who took her own life after being held in a police cell was failed by agencies, a report found. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Graham Clark top-scored with 63 not out after being dropped twice, adding 83 with Paul Collingwood before rain came.
Andrew Salter's career-best of 75 meant that Glamorgan led by 11 on first innings, adding 192 for their last four wickets as they ended 353 all out.
He was supported by Marchant de Lange (30) and Michael Hogan, who hit 29 not out in a last-wicket stand of 74.
Salter's innings just passed his previous best of 73 against Gloucestershire, also at St Helen's in 2015, as he smashed eight fours and three sixes.
Seamer Paul Coughlin finished with 4-87 while opening bowlers Chris Rushworth and James Weighell shared the other six wickets.
Durham then slipped to 75-3 when England Test opener Keaton Jennings was adjudged lbw to David Lloyd's first ball.
But Clark and first-innings centurion Collingwood repaired the damage, Clark riding his luck in particular when De Lange spilled a skied catch, before reaching his 50 off 97 balls with nine fours.
Durham's impetus was halted when bad light and rain intervened at 17:20 BST, and more poor weather is expected overnight.
Glamorgan's Andrew Salter told BBC Wales Sport: "It's funny how I've had both my best innings here in Swansea and also make my debut here as well, so it's one of my favourite grounds.
"I'm very delighted with my performance, but more so because it put us in a position where we could get slightly ahead with that last partnership.
"The wicket's quite flat, but as sometimes happens in Swansea a couple of wickets fall quickly and the game moves forward, it's a tricky one to suss out.
"It'll be interesting to see how they play it, especially with losing some time (to the weather)."
Durham batsman Graham Clark: "First hour this morning we were really good, we put Glamorgan under pressure and credit to their tail-end, they put us under pressure and it swung back in their favour to take the lead which looked unlikely overnight.
"But we've had a good period then to push it back in our favour.
"When (the chance to de Lange) went in the air, I thought that was over for me but luckily he put it down and I could take my chance and carry on.

The Welsh Government has confirmed the building will now be listed with "immediate effect".
Listed building consent will now be needed to demolish or alter the site.
Wrexham council leader Mark Pritchard said councillors would consider the implications of the listing in due course.
Campaigners claimed the status immediately put a halt to the planned demolition.
But they said there was still a "long road ahead" in their hopes the school would be reopened.
Lynne Williams, of Save Our Heritage Campaign Group, said the building was something the people of Wrexham could be proud of as it was the first to offer grammar school education to girls in Wales.
She said: "What has kept us going is our desire to stop the erosion of Wrexham's architectural character, which in turn impacts heavily on the appeal of the town centre.
"People simply don't want to visit or live in a bland, boring town."
Plaid Cymru AM for North Wales Llyr Gruffydd said the site should be used for one or more new schools to ease pressures.
He said: "I congratulate the Save our Heritage group who fought against all odds to stop the bulldozers and had a vision for a better use of Wrexham's remaining buildings of significance."
The decision comes after campaigners wrote to heritage body Cadw requesting the building be given special status.
The Welsh Government said the building was a key example of an inter-war girl's grammar school in the neo-classical tradition which has survived largely intact.
Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates said the building had features displaying "stylistic flair".
He said: "These include its handsome red brick exterior, the decoration between ground floor and first floor windows with herringbone brickwork and internal quality features such as an impressive elegant double sweep staircase being flooded with natural daylight by roof lanterns.
"There is also its parquet and terrazzo flooring, the sleek timber mouldings and the main hall being well proportioned and well lit."

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The new project, called Circular Ocean, will see ideas shared online on what to do with millions of tonnes of plastic.
Marine litter is already used in the making of socks, rucksacks, skateboards and sunglasses.
The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) of the North Highland College UHI is heading up Circular Ocean.
It is working with organisations in Ireland and England, as well as the Arctic Technology Centre in Greenland and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The project will focus on the recycling of waste from some of Europe's remotest coastlines.
Dr Neil James, of ERI, said "Virtually all plastic ever produced is still with us today, with more entering the seas each year to the detriment of fish, birds, turtles and marine mammals.
"If we utilise this so-called waste material for a new purpose we reduce the amount of new plastic created, reduce marine pollution, and encourage new green enterprises.
"Our aim in Circular Ocean is to facilitate this in the northern Europe and Arctic region."

In his address Pakistan's President Mamnoon Hussain said that the "end of terrorism" was near.
Pakistan last held a Republic Day parade in 2008 because of fears militants might target it.
The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, who was at Monday's parade in the capital Islamabad, said it was an opportunity for Pakistan to show off its military might to the public, with units of all infantry divisions taking part. Air force shows were held and there was an ostentatious display of weaponry.
President Hussain praised forces taking part in the operation against the Pakistani Taliban and other militants in North Waziristan, and paid tribute to the more than 150 victims of the Army Public School massacre in Peshawar in December.
"I salute the armed forces, those that have fought to protect us and those who have given their lives to protect this country. To the nation of Pakistan I say that the end of terrorism is near. We have a resolve and we will defeat them," he said.
But he also stressed that Pakistan wanted to co-operate peacefully with its neighbours, saying that Islamabad was enjoying "growing relations" with Afghanistan, and was continually trying to "improve ties" with India.

Can you summarize this passage? | Gary Gillespie said the 11 consecutive quarters of expansion and upbeat forecasts for the future demonstrated the economy's underlying resilience.
But the growth was partly driven by one-off public sector building projects, he said.
And he warned the economy may not be keeping pace with consumer spending.
In his latest State of the Economy report, Mr Gillespie also said there were signs of an impending rise in UK interest rates early next year.
He said all main sectors of the economy grew, with a particularly strong performance in construction, but this was driven wholly by public sector building.
He added that the growth in public building was unlikely to continue indefinitely as major public projects such as the Forth Replacement Crossing, two hospitals in Glasgow, Borders Railway and new schools were either finished or nearing completion.
Meanwhile, private building had contracted with a decline in industrial and commercial building, such as new shops and warehouses, only partly offset by a growth in house building.
Mr Gillespie said: "Growth in household income has not kept pace with consumption, resulting in the savings ratio in Scotland falling, therefore a pick-up in productivity and real wages is needed to support consumption patterns.
"With employment now hovering around record levels we expect the pace of employment growth to ease somewhat and we should see a pick-up in productivity growth and rising real wages.
"Both of these are required to sustain competitiveness and consumption patterns."
Mr Gillespie also said low oil prices would have both "positive and negative implications" for the Scottish economy.
On the one hand, the price had kept business and consumer costs and prices low, thereby subduing inflation but it had had a knock-on effect for Scotland's oil industry.
Forecasts point to a positive outlook for Scotland's economy for the rest of this year with growth of about 2.4% in 2015 predicted.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said: "Our programme of investment in public infrastructure is paying off, helping support a particularly strong performance in the construction sector.
"The benefits from this investment will underpin future growth in the Scottish economy and is the appropriate response in order to support and grow the economy rather than the UK government programme of austerity." | Scotland's economy has seen its longest period of uninterrupted growth since 2001, according to the Scottish government's chief economist. |
Summarize the provided section. | Negotiations are continuing between the former Celtic boss and the Scottish Championship club with a view to him succeeding Alan Stubbs.
Stubbs left for Rotherham United last week after two seasons in charge and having just won the Scottish Cup.
Lennon is believed to want Garry Parker as his number two at Hibs, who missed out promotion to the Premiership after a play-off defeat by Falkirk.
The pair played together at Leicester City and Lennon had Parker as part of his coaching team at Celtic and Bolton Wanderers.
Former Northern Ireland midfielder Lennon, who won the League Cup twice as a player with Leicester, served Celtic as a player for six-and-a-half years, winning five Scottish titles and six domestic cups.
After a spell back in English football, Lennon rejoined Celtic as a coach in 2008 and eventually became manager in 2010.
He enjoyed further success in the dugout at Celtic Park with three successive top-flight titles and two Scottish Cup triumphs before leaving in 2014.
A move to Bolton followed later that year and, although Wanderers initially improved under Lennon, they were bottom of the Championship by the time he left in March, with the side eventually relegated.
Hibs have spent the last two seasons in Scotland's second tier, having also lost out in the promotion play-offs in 2015.
However, having ended their 114-year wait to win the Scottish Cup, the Edinburgh club will enter the Europa League qualifying rounds, with their first match on 14 July.
On Sunday, Stubbs told BBC Scotland he thought that Lennon, his former Celtic team-mate, would be a "a good choice" for the Easter Road vacancy.

Summarize the information given below. | Mosimane's biggest fear is that the South African club, who have emerged favourites for the title despite coming through the back door, sabotage their own chances by allowing the Egyptians to score an away goal.
"We have had a tendency to give away home goals which we must cut out," Mosimane told reporters in the build-up to the game at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville, on the outskirts of Pretoria.
"Critcially it is important to score an away goal and to make sure your opponents do not score on your home ground."
Sundowns travel next Wednesday to Egypt for the return match which is being played at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria on Sunday, 23 October.
We have a chance to write history for ourselves. This is the biggest prize
Mosimane says the team with the stronger mentality will win, despite the South African having the upper hand over Zamalek in both group matches in July.
Sundowns won 2-1 away in Cairo and a late own goal gave them a 1-0 home success a fortnight later.
"We must forget about those two group wins because Zamalek will be much more lifted up now that they are so close to the title," the Sundowns boss added.
Zamalek have won the top club prize in African football five times but their last success was in 2002. Since then they have largely existed in the shadow of arch rivals Al Ahly.
Like Sundowns, their progress to the final has been against expectations.
Sundowns had actually been eliminated before the group stage and were handed a back door pass when AS Vita Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo were disqualified for using an ineligible player in the earlier rounds.
Zamalek have been through three coaches in 2015 with Mohamed Helmi resigning after their last defeat to Sundowns and Moamen Soliman taking over.
But despite the turnover of coaches, they defied convention to hold off Wydad Casablanca in the semi-final and advance to their first final in 14 years.
Zamalek arrived in South Africa on Wednesday with Soliman telling reporters he would quit after just three months in charge if he did not deliver the trophy.
Egyptian clubs have won the competition 14 times to just one for South Africa - achieved 21 years ago when Orlando Pirates won the old-style African Champions Cup.
"We have a chance to write history for ourselves. This is the biggest prize. It has come ahead of our planning but we are close. We are prepared, we've done the miles and beaten the odds," added Mosimane.
First year student De'Andre Johnson, 19, was initially suspended but was dropped from the team on Monday after prosecutors released the video.
He was charged with misdemeanour battery after the incident on 24 June at a Tallahassee bar.
The 21-year-old woman suffered bruising and swelling to her face, police said.
Mr Johnson, a quarterback nicknamed "Mr Football", was a standout player at First Coast High School.
He graduated early to play for Florida State, although he was not expected to become the starting quarterback in the coming season.
Florida State has one of the top university football programmes in the US. Former quarterback Jameis Winston was the number one pick in April's National Football League draft.
The security camera footage shows Mr Johnson and the woman arguing in a crowded bar. After the woman strikes Mr Johnson with her hand, he punches her in the face, throwing her off balance.
Mr Johnson remains a student at Florida State.

Turan was kicked out of a training camp in Slovenia on Tuesday and quit the national team hours later.
"I think the time has come," he said.
"I am ending my career with the national team."
Turan, who has played 96 times for Turkey, reportedly approached the journalist from Turkish newspaper Milliyet before take-off about a story he had published on a pay dispute at Euro 2016.

Can you summarize this content? | The proposals are believed to include tougher English language requirements for students.
Dominic Scott, head of the UK Council for International Student Affairs, said it would be a "nail in the coffin" for recruiting overseas students.
The Home Office has argued there are no limits on numbers of genuine students.
Universities have already been lobbying ministers to remove overseas students from migration targets - but the new English language proposals, if they were given the go-ahead, would mean even an higher threshold for entry.
Universities argue that overseas students are increasingly important to the UK economy and that raising more barriers sends out a negative message in this competitive global market.
Universities UK says overseas students are worth £7bn to the UK each year.
Mr Scott, head of the advisory body on international students, described the revised language requirements as "pretty extreme".
He warned that if implemented they would have a "massively damaging effect" on universities wanting to recruit overseas students, preventing about 15% of the current intake from gaining visas.
Mr Scott said universities of all kinds saw the proposals as a "major concern" and would be asking for evidence there was a problem with students with poor language skills.
He said the tougher language rules could make it difficult to recruit for pre-degree courses and science and maths subjects, where students might have very advanced skills but weaker English language ability.
The move by the Home Office follows a speech on controlling immigration by Prime Minister David Cameron in May.
"We must go further on curbing abuse, shutting more bogus colleges, being more robust with institutions that have high rates of students overstaying and looking to toughen English language requirements for students," he said.
Mr Cameron said tighter control of migration would not "stop us from rolling out the red carpet for the brightest and the best: the talented workers and brilliant students who are going to help Britain succeed".
"As I've said before, no cap on the number of overseas students who come and study at our universities," said the prime minister.
The university sector has been campaigning for overseas students not to be part of this drive to reduce migrant numbers.
A recent report from the Parthenon consultancy group said a potential extra 80,000 jobs over the next four years were being lost because of the current regulations on overseas students.
For every overseas student in the UK, the equivalent of 0.6 of a job was created, driven by spending such as fees, accommodation, travel and entertainment.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Yet Brian is not taking pictures of the parade, instead he is making portraits of the veterans themselves, compelling photographs of those who have fought for their country.
"The vast majority of veterans are happy to be photographed once I've explained the project," Brian told me. "After the march past they tend to be more relaxed.
"The passing of time is an important part of the project, it is only a 10-day shoot, but spread over 10 years it becomes something different. Obviously there's a lot more pressure to get it right in these later years of the project.
"As the years pass the number of veterans from the World War I has dwindled to nothing and the number from World War II is steadily reduced, but their places are taken by other veterans from newer conflicts, who are also included."
Though each of those pictured must have a compelling story to tell, Brian has embraced the concept of the Unknown Soldier. "The viewer is given no information just a portrait," Brian said.
He added: "These faces then are as of unknown soldiers, no cap badges, no ribbons of spooling medals, no insignia for military rank. They are faces only. Each deep-etched with who they are and what they did, that we might look, and think - and thank them."
The pictures bring to mind the work of Steve Pyke, whose portraits World War I veterans first came to my attention back in the mid-1990s when they were on show at the old headquarters of the Royal Photographic Society in Bath.
Yet whilst those pictures are accompanied with some details of the subject, Brian's decision to use a black cloth to remove any trace of where the pictures are taken, and the lack of any captions is one that works surprisingly well. My initial desire here is to learn more of those who fought, yet somehow that would detract from the overall effect of the work and perhaps influence our reading of the photographs.
"All the pictures are lit with daylight and my assistant holds a piece of black velvet behind the subject," said Brian. "It is a very simple set up and I am currently using a short telephoto lens. It pretty much allows the viewer to concentrate on the face, without any distractions. I want the pictures to be uniform so it holds together as a cohesive set."
It certainly does that, providing the viewer space in which to project their own thoughts and offering of thanks to those pictured, and those who did not return.

Cardiff South and Penarth MP Stephen Doughty said south Wales needed new stations to make the most out of rail electrification.
The new station has been provisionally named Cardiff Parkway.
Mr Doughty said the proposals to build the station in east Cardiff were "backed by the private sector, backed cross party, backed by the Welsh Government, backed by Cardiff council".
The Labour MP asked when there would be a decision from the new stations fund.

Currently, people must be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition where a person's biological sex and identity does not match.
The equalities minister says she wants to reform the 2004 Gender Recognition Act to make the process less intrusive.
LGBT campaign group Stonewall says the current system is "demeaning and broken".
The 2004 law says people wanting a change of gender to be legally recognised in the UK need to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate.
This is issued by the Gender Recognition Panel, a judicial body which legally determines what gender an individual defines as.
As well as a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, the person applying must provide evidence that they have been in transition for at least two years.
The most recent figures, for the three months between January and March 2017, show that 112 people applied to change their gender, with 88% of those being granted the certificate.
Equalities Minister Justine Greening said when it was first introduced, the Gender Recognition Act was "cutting edge" but now it needs to be updated.
The consultation on the law will begin in the autumn, she said.
"This government is committed to building an inclusive society that works for everyone, no matter what their gender or sexuality, and today we're taking the next step forward.
"We will build on the significant progress we have made over the past 50 years, tackling some of the historic prejudices that still persist in our laws and giving LGBT people a real say on the issues affecting them."
The proposals come ahead of the 50th anniversary of Parliament voting for the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967.
The Sexual Offences Act 1967 made private homosexual acts between men over the age of 21 legal.
Suzanna Hopwood, a member of the Stonewall Trans Advisory Group, said reform was a key priority for removing "huge inequalities" for trans people.
"It's vital that this reform removes the requirements for medical evidence and an intrusive interview panel, and finally allows all trans people to have their gender legally recognised through a simple administrative process."
Ms Greening also launched a survey to get LGBT people to help shape government policy in the future.

Give a brief summary of the content. | It is alleged the companies conspired to raise the price of the antibiotic doxycycline and diabetes drug glyburide.
The civil lawsuit has been filed in 20 US states.
It follows criminal charges being brought against former executives at one of the accused firms.
US drugmakers Mylan, Heritage Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceutical USA and Citron Pharma are named in the lawsuit alongside India's Aurobindo Pharma and Australia's Mayne Pharmaceuticals.
Mylan, Teva and Aurobindo have denied the allegations.
Heritage has been accused of being the "principal architect" of the case. On Wednesday the US Department of Justice charged two former executives with price-fixing. Heritage said it was co-operating fully with the probe and had filed its own civil complaint against the pair.
Australia's Mayne confirmed it was among the companies named in the case brought by anti-trust investigators.
Its shares plunged 22% on the news, and while it did not comment on the allegations, it said the probe and legal proceedings would "not have a material impact on its future earnings".
"No assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation or legal proceedings," a spokesperson added.
Citron Pharma is yet to comment.
The civil case follows a two-year investigation started by the office of Connecticut's Attorney General George Jepsen - and alleges that firms conspired over steak dinners and "girls nights out."
Mr Jepsen told Reuters that lawsuit was just "the tip of the iceberg", saying price fixing in the generic industry was "widespread and pervasive", involving "many other drugs and a number of other companies."

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Amy Cluskey had part of her nose and upper lip ripped off during the attack.
The judge questioned why police had not told Lee Cluskey, 19, that Mooch was illegal after it killed a cat months before the August 2014 incident.
Cluskey, of Mount Pleasant, Waterloo, who pleaded guilty to possessing a fighting dog got a suspended jail term.
He also admitted a charge of having a dog dangerously out of control and was told his custodial sentence would be suspended for nine months.
The court heard he had contacted Merseyside Police following the incident with the cat.
In response the judge, Recorder Simon Medland QC, said: "Last year, I am very surprised the police did not realise this was in fact a pit bull terrier, which is a prohibited fighting dog.
"It has, to my lay eye, all the appearance of one. It seems a most odd conclusion they came to. The dog has not changed in the last 12 months."
He said an expert "very clearly" identified it as a pit bull breed.
"Quite why the police missed that in 2014 I don't know, but they did," the judge added, describing the information they gave to Cluskey as "duff".
He said Cluskey's remorse was genuine and "one could almost say palpable".
The court heard he told police he turned his back to get the dog's food when he heard his sister screaming.
"The dog had jumped up at her face and latched on," he said.
He prised its mouth open, struck it on the head with his elbow and pulled its tail before forcing it away and locking it in a bathroom.
His sister lost some of her gum and front teeth and underwent emergency surgery, spending a week in hospital and having a series of operations.
A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said: "We note the findings of the court case.
"An internal review of the police response to an animal attack in Bootle in August 2014 is to be conducted to establish the full facts of the matter.

Please summarize the document below. | In an interview with the Daily Mirror, she said wolf-whistlers were saying: "Cor, you look all right darlin'." Ms Lumley added: "What's wrong with that?"
The 70-year-old - an actor, presenter, campaigner, and former model - claimed people had become "sensitive flowers" who were "very offended by everything".
In July, Nottinghamshire Police said wolf-whistling could be a hate crime.
In the interview, Ms Lumley said people had been "tougher" in the 1960s.
"When I was modelling, photographers were much ruder," she said.
"They'd say: 'You look frightful, what's the matter with you?', 'You look podgy, you look fat as a pig.'
"It was good-natured banter. You kind of got on with it, it didn't upset you."
Last month, Nottinghamshire Police said they had recorded 11 misogynistic hate crimes since April, which covers offences including harassment, kidnapping, possession of weapons and causing public fear, alarm or distress.
There were also 19 misogynistic "hate incidents", which cover behaviour less serious than a criminal act such as name calling and offensive jokes.
In Worcester in April, a 23-year-old woman reported wolf-whistling builders to the police.
The police said it was a matter for the men's employers. A builder involved called the wolf-whistling "a bit of banter".

The proposal to close Bath Community Academy (BCA) was made by the Cabot Learning Federation in July last year.
The school opened in 2012 but has had consistently low pupil numbers. It has capacity for 720 students but currently has only 241.
Bath and North East Somerset Council said it is aiming to ensure a "smooth transition" of pupils to other schools.
Councillor Michael Evans, cabinet member for children's services, said the authority will be "seeking to engage with all stakeholders and the community on the most appropriate future for the... site".
"The council has already made it clear that we would like for the site to continue to be used for educational purposes, as well as the continuation of the sport and leisure facilities on the site," he added.
The Cabot Learning Federation confirmed it will be making a contribution towards new school uniform costs for pupils affected by the closure.
A federation spokesman said they are "committed to ensuring high standards" for pupils remaining at the academy school over the coming months.
The 23-year-old played 19 times for the Whites, including 13 games in the Championship in 2014-15, before being released this summer.
He started his career at hometown club Aberdeen, making his debut at 16 in April 2010 to become the Dons' youngest-ever player.
After joining Fulham, he had loan spells at Port Vale and Shrewsbury.

Can you write a short summary of this section? | The former lord provost said she had decided to call it a day after 33 years at The City of Edinburgh Council.
The 60-year-old said it was time for the younger generation to come forward.
It follows City of Edinburgh Council leader Andrew Burns' announcement last week to also stand down at next year's local elections.
Ms Hinds said: "I will have been 33 years on the council by then (next year's elections), I have just celebrated my 60th birthday and I feel it is time for the younger generation to come forward.
"Edinburgh is the best city in the world - and I hope I have done my part to make it a better place."

The annual accounts of Short Brothers PLC - the company's Northern Ireland operation - warn "challenges will continue".
The Canadian parent company required a £1bn bail-out last year, as problems with its CSeries aircraft brought the business to its knees.
In February, it announced more than 1,000 jobs would be lost in Belfast.
The accounts for its local division show a major reversal in fortunes from 2014, when Belfast posted a £73m operating profit.
The 2015 loss "effectively negates any profit the company has made this decade".
The losses mostly reflect "write-downs" on the CSeries programme - the wings for the aircraft are manufactured in east Belfast.
Paperwork filed with the accounts states: "The company is striving to win new contracts but ... it has been difficult to identify suitable new business.
"The current focus is to drive for further cost reduction, both internally and in our worldwide supply base."
More recently, Bombardier's fortunes have been boosted by a major order for CSeries from US airline Delta.
The fossil was uncovered by a digger driver on farmland, near March, in October.
Jamie Jordan, a "self-taught palaeontologist", who runs Fossils Galore in March, said it had taken "roughly 200 man-hours" to preserve it.
It will be the "star attraction" at the shop and museum from 11 April.
Palaeontologist Professor Adrian Lister, from the Natural History Museum, said: "Woolly rhinos were herbivores with low-slung heads who roamed the plains chomping on grass.
"Most similar fossils to this date from the last ice age, about 75,000 to 35,000 years ago."
Mr Jordan believes the skull may be far older than first realised.
He said: "It was found under Devensian gravel deposits and they date back 250,000 years."
Professor Lister said: "It's not impossible that it predates the last ice age [about 75,000 to 35,000 years ago] but it would be very remarkable and very special."
Mr Jordan said the skull was covered in "horrible black" clay and had to be cleaned with small dental picks and lollipop sticks.
"It has well over 500 layers of preservation fluid - a bit like PVA glue but watered down - which seeps into the bone and preserves it from the inside out," he said.
Mr Jordan said: "We came across one extra bone, a leg bone, which showed signs of deer foot prints and cut marks.
"Man didn't really mess with a woolly rhino but we think it was scavenged after it died."
The Highland Heartbeat Centre was opened in 2005 after hundreds of thousands of pounds was raised through a public fundraising effort.
The rest of the money needed was provided by the British Heart Foundation.
NHS Highland said alternative arrangements would be provided to the people who use the centre.
The health board said it wants to use the space for other clinical services that needed to be on the Raigmore Hospital site.
A campaign called Big Hi-5 Stop opposes the closure.
The group representing cardiac patients and their families said the centre and its staff provided important services.
A meeting between health board staff, members of the campaign and cardiac patients' support group Bravehearts was held on Wednesday.
Following the meeting, a spokesperson for NHS Highland said: "As we have said before the Heartbeat Centre will close but not until alternative arrangements are in place for cardiac rehabilitation.
"We have made a lot or progress to address the various changes required but that work is ongoing. We hope that this will completed by May.
"Ultimately what we are aiming for is to see many more people supported via the cardiac rehabilitation service than is possible under the current arrangements."

Vincent Friel crashed into Charlotte Collins, 68, and her cousin Margaret Haldane near the Silverburn shopping centre in Glasgow in January 2014.
The 44-year-old said he had fainted and was not in control of his actions.
Jurors rejected his defence and found Friel guilty of driving dangerously. He will be sentenced in March.
Judge John Morris QC warned the businessman that a custodial sentence was "inevitable".
Ms Collins, who lived in the city's Pollok area, died in hospital shortly after the crash on Barrhead Road on 18 January, 2014.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Friel, of Rutherglen, was taking blood pressure medication at the time and had also taken Viagra and painkillers.
His lawyers claimed the combination of medications had caused his blood pressure to drop, causing him to faint at the wheel. They claimed this meant there was not enough evidence to convict Friel, saying he was not in control of his actions at the time of the crash.
The court heard from one doctor, described as a world-renowned expert in his field, who said it was "likely or possible" that Friel had suffered a "vasovagal" episode, another term for a faint.
However, cardiologist Dr Andrew Flapan told jurors he thought it was "extremely unlikely" that Friel had fainted at the wheel of his 4x4.
He pointed to the fact Friel looked normal after the crash and was able to reverse his car off one of the women and use his mobile phone to call for an ambulance, saying he would not be able to do these things for at least 20 minutes after fainting.
The trial originally began in January but had to be halted after a jury member fainted during Dr Flapan's evidence, and had to be given treatment by the doctor in the courtroom. The trial had to be restarted with a new jury over fears the incident could have prejudiced the case against Friel.
Friel himself said he had been "devastated" by the crash, saying: "It has affected me greatly. I can't believe any of this. It could have been my own mother."
After deliberating for 100 minutes, the jury of nine women and six men rejected Friel's defence and found him guilty of killing Ms Collins and injuring her cousin due to his dangerous driving.
He will be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on 16 March. | A man who died in a collision with a motorbike on a Lancashire road has been named as former British international cyclist David Hitchen.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Jacqueline Perry, 49, was caught after colleagues at Swansea's Morriston Hospital became suspicious about items disappearing.
Perry, from Morriston, had admitted nine counts of theft from semi-conscious patients at an earlier hearing.
She was jailed for 16 months at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Perry was caught after police set up a sting operation which involved placing marked bank notes around Ward G.
When one disappeared, officers searched staff and it was found in her possession.
Perry stole a total of £2,739, which included three gold rings worth £1,800 from an 89-year-old patient.
The thefts had a major impact on Perry's colleagues, the court heard.
In a statement, lead nurse Tina Smith said: "The patients were quite sick and quite vulnerable. It was busy and demanding work.
"The thefts had a massive impact on morale because staff were all under suspicion."
The court heard that Perry stole the money to pay for alcohol for her husband.
Stephen Rees, defending, said the offences were "not motivated through greed, but by financial hardship".
He also told the court a disciplinary hearing would follow the court proceedings and it was "inevitable" that she would lose her job.
Recorder Christopher Clee QC called her actions "a despicable offence".
Perry sobbed in the dock as Mr Clee told her he had no good reason to suspend the sentence.
He told her she will serve half of the sentence in prison and half on licence.
In a statement, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board said it hoped the sentence would "act as a deterrent" to others.
"Theft from patients or staff in hospitals is not only a serious criminal offence, but a severe breach of trust, which ABMU health board will not tolerate," the statement said.
"We can only apologise to the victims of these thefts, and the distress this former employee's actions have undoubtedly caused."

Please summarize the following text. | Ellen Conlin Hair & Beauty, which has salons in Glasgow and Giffnock said it paid 1,000 euros in bitcoins through a third party after its system was hacked earlier this month.
The hackers had locked its database and threatened to delete information.
The firm said it decided to pay because it could not afford to lose business.
Police Scotland said its cyber crime unit was investigating the incident.
Last week, TalkTalk reported that it had received an email demanding a ransom following a cyber attack. A 15-year-old boy was later arrested in North Ireland in connection with the attack.
Ellen Conlin revealed the attack on its own business in a statement on Facebook last week.
Ellen Conlin commercial director Ken Main told BBC Scotland that the hackers had used a Russian email address.
He said they broke into a system used to store appointments, wage details, client histories and stock information but stressed that the attack did not involve any personal data of clients.
He said: "We paid the ransom and have now got some of the information back. However, our appointments system was wiped and we are asking our customers to contact us to confirm their bookings."
Mr Main, who jointly owns Ellen Conlin, said it was unclear which police force was investigating the hacking attack as the company that runs the software used by the salon is based in the south of England.
In a statement, Police Scotland said: "Inquiries were undertaken initially to establish where the crime took place.
"Police Scotland's cyber crime unit is currently investigating an inquiry in relation to a Glasgow-based business and an associated ICT company in England.
"Inquiries are ongoing and it is inappropriate to comment further at this time."
Colin Borland, of the Federation of Small Businesses in Scotland, said the Ellen Conlin case was the first of its type he had heard of in Scotland but "would put a substantial amount of money on the fact it's not the first time it has happened".
He said: "Cyber crime is massively under-reported and it is partly because people don't want to admit they have been conned or caught out for fear of scaring customers.
"You don't want to give the impression that you might be a soft touch, but it can happen to anyone as we've seen recently, and as big companies tighten up their online security then these criminals are going to be looking elsewhere.
"We advise members to follow the advice of the Scottish Business Resilience Centre to stay safe online and look into insurance against this kind of attack of data loss.
"Everyone will have insurance for their property or vehicle but very valuable data is often not insured and people should consider that."

Summarize the information in the following document. | The match, which finished 5-0 to the visitors at Stair Park, was attended by hundreds of visiting fans.
The clubs' links were formed when Stranraer and Rangers fan Jim McKie helped out terminally-ill FC Twente supporter Dennis van Unen.
His dying wish was to see an Old Firm game, which they managed to arrange.
Mr McKie and his friend James Hilton, 61, a Stranraer and Celtic fan, got hold of tickets for Mr van Unen and when he arrived in Glasgow for the game they took him on tours of Ibrox, Parkhead and Hampden.
The fixture this weekend marks a decade since Mr van Unen's death from skin cancer aged 34.
Links between the two clubs, some 520 miles apart, have remained strong since with Saturday's game the latest example.
Mr McKie admitted he was surprised the Dutch side agreed to take part.
He said: "To be honest, when I asked them if they would come I was almost sure they would say: 'No, we can't come.'"
"They said: 'Yes, we are coming and we are bringing the full squad - 27 players, all the coaches, everything.'"
"Plus we don't know how many fans - it could be anything between 200 and 600 - we don't know."
He said he and Mr Hilton had never imagined what helping Mr van Unen could have led to.
"It is huge, it is amazing just how it has come by one simple act," he said.
"James and me feel very humble about the whole thing - it is difficult at times to talk about."
However, he said that the surroundings of Stranraer's ground had come as something of a surprise to their more illustrious opponents.
"When they sent one of their team managers across to look at the facilities I could see the shock on her face," said Mr McKie.
"Stair Park is old school - but these guys like old school.
"They like the fact that it has not been modernised, it is not a 3G pitch - everything has been left as it is."
Stranraer chairman Iain Dougan said it was "incredible" to finally have the two teams meet on the pitch.
"The boys are really looking forward to it and even though it's a friendly, they're probably one of the biggest opponents we've come up against," he said.
"We're expecting the stadium to be packed with supporters from both sides, and businesses in the town will benefit as a result."
A memorial tournament is played every year at FC Twente in honour of Mr van Unen and another fan Boris Dijkhuizen, which Stranraer youth teams regularly participate in.
Jan van Halst, technical director at the Dutch side, said: "It's fantastic that the Scottish FC Twente supporters have helped to arrange this fixture.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | It's the fourth year the comedian, 61, has topped the list thanks to syndication deals for his show Seinfeld, live tours and the series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Get Hard star Kevin Hart's film roles propelled him to second with $28.5m.
John Bishop is the only UK comedian on the list, in ninth place with $8m.
The Liverpudlian, who will perform a sold-out show at Sydney Opera House on Wednesday night as part of his Australian tour, has made it into the top ten for the first time.
"Like the others on the list, most of John's money comes from touring," said Madeline Berg from Forbes.
"While he only made 12 stops during our scoring period, his gross at each was astronomical - one of the highest on our list.
"He is one of few comedians to routinely play large venues, having graduated from the more standard club and theatre scene," she said, adding that his annual Christmas special for the BBC also gave his earnings a big boost.
In third place with $21.5m is ventriloquist and impressionist Terry Fator - a former winner of America's Got Talent who has been dubbed "the human jukebox". He is in the middle of a five-year residency at Las Vegas' Mirage Hotel, reported to be worth $100m.
Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham and Canadian Russell Peters are in joint fourth with $19m, while Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari is in sixth place with $9.5m.
Louis CK is in seventh with $9m, Gabriel Iglesias is in eighth with $8.5m and Dave Chappelle rounds out the top ten with $7.5m.
To make the list, the comics' primary source of income has to be from ticket sales.
Forbes' highest-earning comedian Seinfeld previously topped the list in 2013 for the third year in a row, although there was no list in 2014.
Seinfeld's earnings also took him to number 62 in the magazine's Celebrity 100 earlier this year. He is expected to earn more in future years, following a recent deal with US streaming service Hulu which is reported to have paid $160m (£104m) for the rights to Seinfeld.
Second place Hart was the only other comedian to make the Celebrity 100. His earnings rocketed this year thanks to films such as Think Like a Man Too and The Wedding Ringer, alongside the millions made from his 48 live shows.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | The factory producing the medicine has been sealed, and three people have been arrested, including a distributor of the medicine.
The deaths occurred between Friday and Sunday. Police say they were mostly drug addicts in Shahdra town area.
Cough syrup, which is sold as an over-the-counter medicine, is sometimes used by addicts to get high, police say.
"Some of the victims were found dead in a graveyard where addicts used to take different kind of drugs," local police chief Atif Zulfiqar told AFP news agency.
The chief minister of Punjab province has ordered an inquiry to submit a report to him within 72 hours.
The provincial health authority raided several pharmacies and seized stocks of the syrup - media reports say the medicine was not past its expiry date.
Samples of the medicine have been sent for testing. Doctors told the BBC those who died may have added something to the syrup, to increase their high.

But he added: "There would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front or the use of chemical weapons."
Earlier the new UN special envoy to Syria faced criticism for refusing to say whether President Assad must quit.
President Obama, speaking to reporters at a White House briefing, said the deployment or use of biological weapons would widen the conflict in the region.

Fears over fate of Syria's chemical weapons
He said: "It doesn't just include Syria. It would concern allies in the region, including Israel, and it would concern us."
He warned President Bashar al-Assad and "other players on the ground" about the use or movement of such weapons.
He said: "A red line for us is [if] we see a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around, or being utilised. That would change my calculus."
Syria holds the world's fourth-largest stockpile of chemical weapons. Last month a Syrian foreign ministry spokesman said the weapons would never be deployed inside Syria.
However, the BBC's Kim Ghattas in Washington says the US has seen unconfirmed reports recently that the Syrian authorities have been moving the country's chemical arms stockpile.
Fighting continued in several Syrian cities on Monday, including Damascus, Deraa and Aleppo.
A Japanese journalist, Mika Yamamoto, was killed by gunfire in Aleppo, the country's foreign ministry has confirmed.
Ms Yamamoto, 45, was a veteran war reporter, working for Japan Press.
The UN says more than 18,000 people have been killed in the conflict, 170,000 have fled Syria and 2.5 million need aid within the country.
Earlier on Monday, the UN's new envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi told the BBC that he was "not in a position to say yet" whether President Assad should go, but was "committed to finding a solution".
Mr Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign minister, last week succeeded Kofi Annan who resigned after both sides largely ignored his peace plan.
On Sunday, UN observers ended their mission to verify its implementation.
Their departure came after the UN Security Council agreed to allow their mandate to expire at midnight, and instead set up a new civilian office in Damascus to pursue political contacts that might lead to peace.
Since being confirmed as the new UN and Arab League envoy to Syria, Mr Brahimi has acknowledged that he has no concrete ideas of how to end the conflict, which he believes has been a civil war for some time.
On Monday, he told the BBC that he was not ready to say whether President Assad should step down despite widespread international condemnation of his government's crackdown on dissent since protests erupted in March 2011.
"I am not in a position to say yet, because I was appointed a couple of days ago. I am going to New York for the first time to see the people who I am going to work for, and I am going to Cairo see the Arab League," he explained.
After announcing his resignation, Mr Brahimi's predecessor, Kofi Annan, said: "It is clear that President Bashar al-Assad must leave office."
The main opposition coalition, the Syrian National Council (SNC), said Mr Brahimi's stance showed "disregard for the blood of the Syrian people and their right of self-determination" and demanded he apologise.
Mr Brahimi stressed that he was "committed to finding a solution full stop".
"I am a mediator. I haven't joined any Syrian party. I am a mediator and a mediator has to speak to anybody and everybody without influence or interest," he added.
"Then I'll make up my mind about what to say and what to do." | US President Barack Obama has said the use of chemical weapons by Syria would be a "red line" that would change his thinking on intervention in the crisis. |

According to a summary of a statement published on a Basque newspaper website, the group wants to negotiate a "definitive end" to its operations.
Eta has fought a 45-year campaign for Basque independence, but has lost support in recent years.
Last year it announced an end to its campaign of violence.
The new statement suggests the organisation wants to go a step further by disbanding completely and turning in its weapons.
The full statement is due to be published on Sunday.
The summary published on the website of the Basque newspaper Gara suggests Eta is ready for talks, but will attach conditions to disbanding.
They include the transfer of Basque prisoners to prisons closer to their homes - a long-standing Eta demand.
The Basque country straddles the border between Spain and France.
Eta is believed to be responsible for more than 800 deaths, and is considered a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the US.
It has been weakened in recent years by a loss of support among Basque people, and a number of arrests, including that of the group's alleged military leader in October.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Problems were identified at Drumpellier Lodge, at Bargeddie in North Lanarkshire, by the Care Inspectorate.
Its owners, Clancare Limited, have been ordered to improve staffing levels and the standard of care to residents.
The Care Inspectorate said it would "not hesitate to take further action" if further checks found no progress on the problems identified.
A Care Inspectorate spokesman said: "We have clearly set out the areas which require swift improvement at Drumpellier Lodge so that the care provided to residents reaches a standard that they have a right to expect.
"We will inspect this service again soon to check on progress and to ensure that improvements have been made.
"If we are not satisfied that sufficient progress is being made quickly, we will not hesitate to take further action."
The Care Inspectorate said it had served a formal improvement notice on Drumpellier Lodge.
The notice states that it must demonstrate that it is making "proper provision for the health, welfare and safety of service users".
It calls for "a written personal plan for each resident" which is reviewed "at least every six months".
Residents must have access to "sufficient meaningful activities" and have "access to outdoor space and events".
The care home has also been told to review staffing levels to make sure residents are properly cared for and make sure that the staffing schedule is followed.
The Care Inspectorate previously called for improvements at Drumpellier Lodge after finding failings in 2014.
The poll of nearly 3,000 parents and children by Eureka Children's Museum in West Yorkshire found 81% of children prefer playing outside to watching TV.
But half of the parents and carers surveyed said they did not let their child leave their home or garden.
Just 37% said they let their youngster to go to the end of the street.
In total, 2,823 parents and children, aged 5-11, took part in the poll, with an approximate split of 52% children (1,456 respondents) and 48% parents (1,367 respondents).
The findings show young people are unlikely to stray very far from home, because concerns about road traffic and strangers mean most parents do not let them outside without supervision.
While 95% of adults agreed it was good for children to take risks when playing, about one in four said they would not let their child take these risks without a safe environment to play in.
Many parents believed their children did not have the same freedoms as they did as youngsters.
They put this down to heavier traffic making playing in the streets more dangerous, as well as a lack of community spirit and fear of strangers.
"Parents and carers feel that it's beneficial for children to take risks when playing, but remain risk-averse in providing them with the freedom and scope to embark on play that helps them make independent judgments around risk and danger," the report says.
"As a consequence, street play is becoming increasingly rare, with parents citing traffic and stranger danger as reasons for keeping tabs on their children - either indoors or in the back garden."
The survey found 77% (1,042) of parents thought play was an important all-year round activity for their children.
Children themselves said they wanted to explore through unstructured, free-spirited play, with 67% preferring free play.
The survey also found a clear difference between where today's children play and where their parents went.
The top three places for today's young were the park, the garden and home, while their parents' favourite places were fields, woods and the street.
One parent told the pollsters: "When I was little we were able to play in the street without parents being afraid that something would happen to us."
Another said: "My kids don't have the same freedom as I had at the same age, I would not let them play out of the garden without supervision."
The study concludes: "Parents need to be provided with the tools and confidence to allow their children more freedom to play outside, or the next generation of children will become even more housebound than the current one.
"Parents and carers must be empowered to work with local councils on setting up street play initiatives aimed at closing off streets and instilling a sense of shared trust and collective care within a street community." | Inspectors have told a care home to make "swift improvements" or face having its registration cancelled.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The practice involves using hot objects to pound and massage girls' breasts to try to stunt their growth in the belief it makes them less sexually attractive.
MP Jake Berry said about 1,000 girls in the UK were thought to be affected by the "abhorrent practice".
The government said police could charge culprits with a range of offences.
Home Office minister Karen Bradley said the government was "absolutely committed" to putting a stop to the practice.
But she admitted "certain professionals" still felt reticent about tackling such practices because of "cultural sensitivities" - and said they needed to be given the confidence to take action.
Opening the debate in the Commons, Mr Berry said breast ironing was believed to have originated in Cameroon but cases had also been found in Nigeria, Benin, Chad "and Birmingham and London".
He said it was "hard to prove its extent or prevalence in the UK" because, like female genital mutilation (FGM), the fact the practice "most often carried out by a family member" meant it was "hidden".
According to a UN report, 58% of perpetrators were the victims' own mothers.
The MP for Rossendale and Darwen said girls as young as 10 were subjected to "unimaginable pain and suffering" and exposed to potential health problems including cancer, infection and cysts.
"Hot stones, hammers and spatulas are used twice a day for several weeks or months to stop or delay and in some cases permanently destroy the natural development of the breast," he said.
Culture, tradition and religion were often used to justify the practice, Mr Berry said, adding: "But just as in the case of FGM these words are a thinly veiled excuse for a ritualised form of child abuse." It had "no place in any society", he said.
Mr Berry said 15% of UK police forces had no awareness of breast ironing and 23% of local children's services were not trained to deal with it, with 65% saying they would welcome more guidance.
"If we fail to let them have the tools they require to identify and understand the victims of this crime, we will never be able to tackle it," he told the Commons.
"My understanding is that there is currently no stand-alone crime of breast ironing in the UK, with police and prosecutors relying on the existing pool of criminal offences available to them.
"Just like with FGM, this... is not an adequate protection for young women and girls in our country," the MP added.
Home Office minister Karen Bradley said there was a range of offences available to the police to tackle the crime including common assault, child cruelty and grievous bodily harm.
"What we're talking about is child abuse, it is illegal, it is a crime, it is not acceptable.
"I want to assure the House that the government fully understands this and is absolutely committed to putting a stop to it," she said.
Pressed over the role of schools in tackling such harmful practices, the minister said "there are certain professionals who may feel reticent about this".
She added: "They may feel that somehow there are cultural sensitivities, there are political reasons why they shouldn't go there.
"This is simply not the case and we need to give those professionals the confidence to know that this is something that they should be looking for, that they know what the signs are and that they take action because that is what we all need to do." | The government has been urged to introduce a new criminal offence of breast ironing in the UK to protect young girls from the abuse. |

Summarize the following piece. | Last year, the Afghan intelligence agency said it believed Saeed Khan had died in a drone attack in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nangarhar.
However, IS insisted its leader had survived that attack.
On Friday, the US said he had been killed in a new drone attack in Nangarhar's Achin district on 26 July.
The drone strike was carried out three days after IS carried out its most devastating attack in Afghanistan, killing 80 people and wounding 230 at a rally of Shia Muslims from the Hazara minority in the capital Kabul.
IS, a Sunni Muslim group, regards Shia as heretics.
Pentagon spokesman Gordon Trowbridge said Saeed Khan had been killed in an "air strike", without specifying if a drone had been used.
"Khan was known to directly participate in attacks against US and coalition forces, and the actions of his network terrorized Afghans, especially in Nangarhar," Mr Trowbridge added.
On 26 July, Afghan security sources announced that some 120 IS militants had been killed in a military operation in Nangarhar but they referred to Kot district, not Achin, and did not mention Saeed Khan.
The militant was reported killed by a drone strike in Achin in July 2015 as well.
Afghanistan's Taliban group has frequently clashed with IS since January 2015.
The Taliban's dominance in a region home to numerous local and foreign militant groups is facing a serious challenge from IS, which has been gaining some support.
There has also been evidence that IS is trying to recruit Taliban fighters, with several Taliban commanders declaring allegiance to IS.
Across Northern Ireland, cutting usually takes place twice annually and up to five times in urban areas.
Due to a funding shortfall, Derry City and Strabane District Council will now see its service diminished from three cuts a year, down to just one.
SDLP councillor Brian Tierney said he was concerned at what it could mean for road maintenance.
"I'm disappointed and concerned that the levels of grass cutting within this council district have again been cut. They have now reduced that to one cut per year," Mr Tierney told BBC Radio Foyle.
"Council have been stepping in to pick up the slack in that and I've asked the road service what exactly it is that they're doing to address this funding deficit."
The issue was raised at a council meeting on Tuesday.
Until recently, district councils could cut grass for aesthetic and amenity reasons, and then be reimbursed for the work by the Department for Infrastructure.
In a statement to the BBC, the Department for Infrastructure confirmed they would have to reduce their routine maintenance service due to the current budget.
"The department is aiming to cut all roadside verges and sightline grassed areas at least once in the period April-October," a spokesperson said.
"With sightlines at bends and junctions being cut more frequently within available resources to ensure public safety is not compromised, regrettably, the department will not be able to fund councils to cut grass this year.
"Given the indicative budget settlement outlined by the secretary of state in April, it is likely there will be knock on impacts for services including routine maintenance of the road network including grass cutting. In this area, the department is likely to be reliant on additional resources becoming available.
"Many councils cut urban grass areas last year for the benefit of their residents and the department is hopeful that this practice will continue." | Hafiz Saeed Khan, leader of so-called Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, died in a US drone strike last month, the US believes.

Officials said Mohammed Afzal Guru, who had been on death row since 2002, was executed at Tihar jail near Delhi.
Afzal Guru had always denied plotting the attack, which left 14 dead.
India has stepped up security and announced a curfew in Indian-administered Kashmir, where news of the execution was expected to spark unrest.
Executions are very rare in India - Afzal Guru's was only the second since 2004, after Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving attacker from the 2008 Mumbai attack was executed in November.
"This is only about the law taking its course," Home Secretary RK Singh said.
Hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in towns and cities across Indian-administered Kashmir to try to contain any unrest sparked by the execution.
Claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and two wars have been fought over it.
The December 2001 attack was one of the most controversial incidents in recent Indian history, correspondents say.
Five rebels stormed India's parliament in Delhi on 13 December 2001, killing a gardener and eight policemen before they were shot dead by security forces.
India blamed the attack on the Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group, which it said was backed by Pakistan.
Pakistan denied involvement in the attack but relations between the two countries nosedived as their armies massed about a million troops along the border.
Afzal Guru, a former fruit seller, was one of two men sentenced to death for helping to plan the attack, although the sentence of Shaukat Hussain was later reduced on appeal to 10 years in jail.
Guru was found guilty of arranging weapons for the attackers and of membership of Jaish-e-Mohammed, both of which he denied.
Two other people accused in the case, SAR Geelani and Afsan Guru, were acquitted due to a lack of evidence.
Afzal Guru's appeal was first refused by the Supreme Court and then the president.

Can you summarize the following information? | Pippa McManus, 15, weighed about 4st (25kg) when she was being treated at The Priory in Altrincham.
She was released in December 2015 and later died after stepping in front of a train near Stockport.
A lack of support available to her family contributed to her death, Stockport Coroner's Court heard.
The jury returned a conclusion of suicide but found the care plan when Ms McManus was discharged was inadequate and there was not enough communication with the family about her suicide risk.
Inadequate community care and specialist support and a lack of cohesiveness amongst agencies were also contributory factors to her death, the court heard.
Speaking after the conclusion, her mother Marie said there should have been more help available and "too many of our children are dying from this terrible illness".
"Effective treatment is needed more quickly and if this had been available to our beautiful daughter, maybe she would still be alive today, maybe we would not have needed this inquest," she said.
Paula Stanford, hospital director at The Priory, said: "Our heartfelt sympathies are with Pip's family and we will now carefully consider the findings of the jury."
During the inquest, the hospital said her anorexia was one of the most severe cases it had seen.
The coroner, Andrew Bridgman, said he will write to all of the agencies involved in her care.
The inquest heard Ms McManus had a history of self-harming and had previously written a number of goodbye notes to her family, doctor, and The Priory hospital.
By the age of 13, she had been diagnosed with severe anorexia and was obsessed with diet and exercise and in September 2014, was sectioned and treated at The Priory.
She was released in December 2015, by which time she was not considered high risk, though she remained under hospital care.
But following a family row five days later, the teenager walked to Gatley train station near her home and killed herself.
Her father, Jim, said his daughter's anorexia "had too strong of a grip."
"She used to say she had bad thoughts and wasn't allowed to do things - she couldn't even lick an ice-cream. She'd turn around and say I'm not allowed.
"Whatever was going on in her head was so strong she just couldn't comply."
Her mother, Marie, said it "was just horrific" and "a nightmare."
"[Pippa] hated herself. She thought she was the ugliest person in the world. Whatever you said, it didn't make a difference because that's what the anorexia was telling her.
"We needed some trained mental health workers to work with us but they weren't there to do that... We were let down by everybody I think. Everybody had a part to play."
Deborah Coles, director of INQUEST, a charity that supported the family during the court process, said her parents' "concerns were dismissed and minimised throughout".
"Pip's death has exposed a mental health system which pushed through the discharge of a highly vulnerable child without any of the support or care in place to make sure she would be safe," she said. | No adequate care plan was in place for an anorexic teenager who killed herself five days after being released from a psychiatric hospital, an inquest found. |
Give a brief summary of the content. | He is a Swiss national, the third generation of his family to go into the horology trade. He would like his children to make Swiss watches too. "But I won't force them to," he says.
The Jenni family's small, independent shop in the centre of the pretty, medieval city of Zurich displays a range of ornate clocks that are hundreds of years old. One is made of wood, and is from the 1600s.
While such incredibly old pieces of work exist, Marc says the manufacture of one of the symbols of Switzerland is changing.
"If we look at the watch business, we can see about 80% of the workforce are foreigners from France, from Italy, from Germany."
Immigration is a hot topic in Switzerland. About one in four people here are foreigners. That's one of the highest proportions of foreign residents in the world.
"Immigration has always been an issue here," Marc says, but he welcomes the non-Swiss workers to his industry.
"It helps the Swiss industry. They earn a bit less, but get more money than most of their citizens at home. Everyone profits."
Not everyone in this nation of 8 million people is as welcoming as Mr Jenni.
The Swiss government is waiting to have discussions with the European Union about limiting the flow of EU workers into Switzerland.
The Alpine nation is currently part of Europe's Schengen borderless area, so people can come and go as they please.
That is supposed to be changing after a majority - albeit a slim one - of people voted in a 2014 referendum to introduce quotas on the number of people from the EU who could enter Switzerland.
Negotiations are due to take place after the UK decides whether to stay in or leave the EU.
The EU does not seem inclined to negotiate over its much-cherished principle of free movement. So there is a stand-off.
About 20 minutes by train along the edge of Lake Zurich is the picture postcard perfect town of Maennedorf.
Its traditional, tall, pastel-coloured homes are nestled among trees on the hillside. It is a clean, tidy, quiet, fairly sleepy place.
It is also a stronghold of the anti-immigration Swiss People's Party (SVP), the strongest political party in Switzerland, and part of the coalition government.
Christoph Blocher, the millionaire industrialist and controversial former leader of the SVP, runs his company from Maennedorf.
"We are a small country. Immigration is more and more. The population in Switzerland will have a problem with space, and for the schools and the hospitals."
"If we don't find an agreement with the EU we must do it alone, " he says.
Talk of a unilateral decision to effectively close Switzerland's borders to some EU citizens is causing nervousness among businesses.
Deep under the centre of Zurich, long, double-decker trains thunder away from underground platforms, taking commuters home after a day's work.
The station and the tunnel that snakes its way underneath Zurich have only been open a couple of years.
Standing on the platform is David Grossman, a director of one of the engineering companies that helped build it.
He says none of it would have been possible without workers from abroad.
Foreign workers are, he insists, "crucial to the success of Switzerland."
"In terms of engineering we have a lot of specialities where we can't find the people in Switzerland. If we want to stay competitive, we need the best."
It's not just staff shortages that could become a problem. Some fear Switzerland could lose access to the European single market of 500 million potential customers.
Daniel Kalt, the chief Swiss economist at the banking giant UBS, says "The risk is if we can't find a solution with the EU about how to amend the treaty on the free movement of labour, we might get into a situation where the EU cancels the whole package of treaties."
Those 100 or so treaties dictate Switzerland's relationship with the EU, the biggest buyer of its exports.
While sipping an espresso at a pleasant pavement café in Zurich's successful financial district, Mr Kalt says the economic cost of failing to do an immigration deal could be huge.
"We would probably lose access to quite important sectors and industries in terms of getting access to European markets. That's a huge political risk now."
It's a game of chicken that many businesses do not want to play.
But Christoph Blocher of the Swiss People's Party says the EU is bluffing and would not cut trade ties with Switzerland.
"It's always the same thing they say," he says, dismissing such talk as an empty threat.
Companies say a negotiated outcome could also be painful, if a deal to limit inward migration can only be done in exchange for giving up some access to the single market.
"Ultimately in a worse case, this could happen," says Dr Jan Atteslander from the business organisation Economie Suisse.
"Both sides are not so silly to let it happen. They do everything to prevent this, but in theory it could happen."
Despite the fears companies have for their market access and for the future of the Swiss economy, business leaders recognise there are genuine concerns about immigration levels.
"We have net migration of more than 80,000 people a year. We can only build a maximum 40,000 houses and apartments," says Dr Jan Atteslander.
"That's one of the reasons the population said we have to slow it down."

What is the summary of the following article? | He once famously declared he was the first in his family for "a thousand generations" to attend university.
But he has now learned that a great-uncle had something of privileged start in life by going to an exclusive public school school in Surrey.
He was taking part in BBC Wales family history programme Coming Home.
The programme, to be shown on BBC One Wales on Wednesday, goes to the heart of his political and family life - from his working class roots to the House of Lords.
Neil Kinnock was born in 1942 in the coal mining town of Tredegar and later gained a degree in industrial relations and history at Cardiff, where he met his wife, Glenys, a future MEP. He also gained a postgraduate diploma in education.
During the programme, he makes an emotional journey to trace his ancestry.
Following the death of his great-grandfather, Gordon Kinnock, in 1892, his widow Emily was left to raise 10 children.
Among them were Archie, Lord Kinnock's grandfather; Harold and Wilfred.
Harold was sent away to an exclusive public school - King Edward School in Surrey, and he later enjoyed a successful career as a civil servant.
Lord Kinnock made his often quoted remarks about his background at a Welsh Labour party conference just before the 1987 election, saying it was not the lack of talent or strength which held people back, but opportunity.
In his speech, the then Labour leader asked the question: "Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?"
In the programme, Lord Kinnock defends his political statement, in light of the discovery, and said: "Going to this school doesn't naturally convey the fact he had a good education."
Lord Kinnock also finds out the reason his grandfather first moved to the south Wales valleys might not have been to escape a dominant father after all.
Revealing why he took part in the programme, Lord Kinnock said: "Even when your life has been churned over in biographies, you still retain a sense of curiosity about bits that were missing."
Later in the series, actors Trevor Eve, Alison Steadman and Charles Dale travel back to Wales, finding out about their hidden past.

Seller Janet Bunnett was given the plans of "Operation Hope Not" by her policeman father, who worked the day of the funeral, on 30 January 1965.
They are expected to fetch between £400 and £600 when they are auctioned later.
Ms Bunnett, of Westerham, Kent, said her father Philip Bainbridge told her people were "running around like scolded chickens" behind the scenes on the day.
The former prime minister had died of a stroke on 24 January.
Talking of her father's role, Ms Bunnett said: "He was pretty busy.
"He didn't say an awful lot about it. I think he was sad to have to do it, because he'd been all through the war, and of course Winston Churchill was very famous.
"But he just wanted to do it well for the Old Man. So that's what they did, they worked really hard."
One million mourners lined the route, while 350 million people watched it on television around the globe.
The coffin was later transported via train to Oxfordshire for the private family burial in St Martin's Church in Bladon, close to Blenheim Palace.
Ms Bunnett said she was auctioning off the documents because she could not choose which of her six grandchildren to pass them on to.
"I thought if I could sell it... I could give them £100 each," she added.
"I know it's not a lot of money, but it would be something from their great granddad."
The documents go under the hammer at Farleigh Court Golf Course near Warlingham, Surrey.
Also on sale is a Winston Churchill Toby jug from 1940.
Designed by Clarice Cliff after Churchill became prime minister, only 350 of the 31cm (12.2 in) high jugs were produced.
It is estimated to sell for between £600 and £1,000.

It became one of the two giants of the fantasy sports sector, along with US-based Draft Kings.
FanDuel now lays claim to six million registered users across the US and Canada.
Its technology platform has allowed fans of the four main American sports to pick fantasy teams from real players, and follow their performances.
However, fantasy sports companies in the US have faced legal challenges from state regulators and legislators, who have argued that the online games are based on chance rather than skill.
In a statement, FanDuel said it was ready to take "the first step in international expansion plans" by launching in the UK in early August.
Karol Corcoran, director of international marketing at FanDuel, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Opta, they're a world-leader in their field.
"Their expertise and data will add to the excitement of our live game experience, letting users watch their fantasy team rack up points as the real games play out on the pitch.
"Opta's stats also play a critical role in our unique scoring system, which considers the contribution of every player on the pitch, not just those who score goals - ensuring a more realistic and compelling reflection of the on-field action."
He added: "Our team has spent a lot of time on developing the right product for the UK's football fans and we've already had a lot of positive feedback from users during our beta contest phase, which was rolled out during the 2016 Euros.
"We can't wait to bring the full product to market." | Meticulous plans detailing Sir Winston Churchill's funeral are to be sold.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The bill caused an outcry and Mr Kasich said it could be unconstitutional.
But he did sign a 20-week abortion ban, which is similar to a restriction already in place in 15 US states.
Mr Kasich called this bill the "best, most legally sound and sustainable approach to protecting the sanctity of human life".
The "heartbeat" bill is so called because it sets the cut-off point for legal abortions at the first time the fetal heartbeat can be detected. Such development can come before many women know they are pregnant.
Anti-abortion campaigners believe this leaves women with no choice but to continue every pregnancy.
The two bills both fell on Mr Kasich's desk at the same time and had both been approved by the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate.
The "heartbeat" bill would have been passed had Mr Kasich not used his right to veto it.
Mr Kasich said he believed that its passing would have led to costly legal challenges, which he felt the state had no chance of winning.
"The State of Ohio will be forced to pay hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to cover the legal fees for the pro-choice activists' lawyers," said Mr Kasich, adding that he believed the veto was in the public interest.
Ohio lawmakers still have the option to override his veto.
Critics of the 20-week abortion ban see it as paving the way for an attempt to overrule a 1973 Supreme Court ruling, known as Roe v Wade, which states that abortion is legal until a foetus is viable, typically between 22 and 24 weeks.
President-elect Donald Trump called for a total ban on abortion during his presidential campaign, but later said he supports an exception in cases of "rape, incest and [to protect] the life of the mother".
US family-planning organisation Planned Parenthood say 99% of abortions in the US occur before 21 weeks, and the exceptions only occur in extreme circumstances.
Mr Trump has called for an end for federal funding for Planned Parenthood if the organisation continues to support abortions. | Ohio Governor John Kasich has vetoed the so-called "heartbeat" abortion bill that would have banned most abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy. |

White has claimed some of the elite fighters have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become Olympic champion at London 2012, with only Colin Oates so far making it into the afternoon medal blocks before finishing seventh.
He pointed to the lack of commitment from athletes to the centralisation plan for the British Performance Institute at Dartford.
"If someone is coming out with those comments, then they have to look on themselves and see what they have done to help everything else come through," Gordon, a three-time Olympian, added.
"They are the ones who employ the coaches. Centralisation can work, but you need to get everybody under the roof, all the coaches from the regional clubs, one or two of the players, sitting around the mat and have a big discussion on how we can go forwards."

In January Lemina rejected a call-up to Gabon's 2015 Africa Cup of Nations squad in the hope he would be selected to play for France instead.
But the 22-year-old midfielder, who joined Juventus on a season-long loan on 31 August, has now announced his commitment to the Panthers.
"I chose Gabon, and I am very happy about it," he told France's RMC Radio.
"I have signed all the important papers and agreed with the federation.
"I am waiting for my first game with the national team, which had to be postponed as I was in the process of moving to Juventus.
"They understood, and I hope I will be able to play in Gabon's next match."
Under Fifa rules, Lemina is free to switch because he has not yet played for a country's senior national team.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The Afghan soldier was also killed when the US troops returned fire.
The shooting erupted as a US diplomat was leaving a meeting with the provincial governor.
"Insider" attacks on Nato troops by Afghan security forces grew frequent in the final years of Nato's combat mission, which wound down in 2014.
The attacks, also known as "green-on-blue", damaged trust between Nato forces and the Afghans who had been trained by them.
The US troops involved in the latest incident are part of Nato's Resolute Support mission, which replaced combat operations last December.
An Afghan soldier killed three US contractors in late January.
The motive for the latest killing is not known and details of the clash are sketchy.
The shooting took place just after the US diplomat had left the meeting with the governor of Nangarhar province.
"Suddenly an Afghan army soldier opened fire on the US soldiers who were present in the compound," Gen Fazel Ahmad Sherzad, a Nangarhar police official, told the Associated Press.
However, other police officials quoted by Reuters news agency said it was unclear who opened fire first.
Several Afghan and US troops are also said to have been hurt.
The US embassy statement in Kabul issued a statement saying it was "aware that there was an exchange of gunfire involving Resolute Support service members".
It said none of its staff had been hurt.
The Netherlands international, 22, had a spell on loan with the Cherries last season and scored three goals in 12 games before being recalled.
The fee, reported to be £20m, breaks Bournemouth's previous record - the £15m paid to Liverpool for winger Jordon Ibe in July 2016.
Ake has signed a long-term deal and is the Cherries' third summer signing.
England striker Jermain Defoe signed on Thursday from Sunderland and Bosnia goalkeeper Asmir Begovic arrived from Chelsea in May.
Ake joined Chelsea in 2012 and made 17 appearances for the Stamford Bridge side. He spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Watford in the Premier League.
"I had a great time last season so I'm really happy to be back," said Ake. "The fans haven't seen the best of me yet."

Summarize the provided information. | Reverend Rene Robert enshrined his opposition to the death penalty in a letter he wrote 22 years ago, in which he apparently foresaw his own killing.
The Catholic priest's note requested that whoever took his life be spared execution "no matter how heinous their crime or how much I may have suffered".
Bishops have petitioned the court to drop capital punishment in the case.
The body of 71-year-old Fr Robert, of St Augustine, Florida, was found riddled with bullets in woods in Georgia in April 2016.
Authorities say he was killed days earlier by a man, Steven Murray, whom he had been trying to help for months.
In 1995, the priest signed a "Declaration of Life" document, which was witnessed and notarised by a lawyer.
"I request that the person found guilty of homicide for my killing not be subject to or put in jeopardy of the death penalty under any circumstances," wrote Fr Robert.
The note had remained in his personnel file at his own insistence, said Catholic bishops, who are protesting against the prosecutor's decision to seek capital punishment for his killer.
Fr Robert devoted his life to helping society's most troubled people, including convicts and the mentally afflicted, say friends.
"He was well aware for the potential violence that might involve his ministry, but he cared for those people nonetheless," said Archbishop Wilton Gregory.
The archbishop was among about a dozen clergymen who rallied on Tuesday outside the court in Augusta, Georgia.
They delivered a petition by more than 7,400 people from Fr Robert's diocese asking that his wishes be honoured.
"We want to be the voice that he no longer has to make that 'Declaration of Life' a part of the understanding of this particular case," said Bishop Gregory Hartmayer outside court.
Bishop Felipe Estevez, of the St Augustine diocese, said the alleged killer clearly deserved punishment.
But, he added, "imposing a sentence of death as a consequence of killing only perpetrates the cycle of violence in our community".
The prosecutor, Augusta Judicial Circuit District Attorney Ashley Wright, has cited four aggravating factors in her decision to seek the death penalty if the accused is convicted.
She said these were that the slaying was outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhuman.
Mr Murray, a repeat offender, had asked the priest for a lift in Jacksonville, Florida, before abducting and murdering him, authorities said.
The suspect was apprehended while driving the priest's blue Toyota Corolla in South Carolina a day after Fr Robert was reported missing.
Mr Murray led police to the priest's body.
During a court appearance shortly after his arrest, he appealed for forgiveness.
"If anybody loves Father Rene, they'll forgive me because he was a man of God, and forgiveness is forgiveness," the suspect said, according to Georgia's WALB News.

Eva Ottoson who lives in Nottinghamshire has agreed to take part in the medical procedure that would see her donate her uterus.
Her 25-year-old daughter, Sara, who lives in Sweden, was born without reproductive organs.
If successful she could become pregnant and carry her child in the same womb that she herself was carried in.
The mother and daughter hope the procedure could happen in Sweden next spring.
The pair have undergone tests to ascertain their suitability for the transplant operation.
Sara Ottoson was born without a uterus because of the condition Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
Her mother, who moved to England from Sweden three years ago, said: "From the start when we realised what her condition was she [Sara] has always been talking about adoption.
"Then this opportunity came along last autumn.
"So I think there are loads of young women out there, who for one reason or another, can't get their own babies and if this could be some way of doing it in the future, why not?
"Both me and my daughter are rational about it.

"I can't see the ethical problems about it really."
The only previous womb transplant widely reported occurred in 2000, in Saudi Arabia.
A womb from a 46-year-old was given to a 26-year-old but it had to be removed 99 days later because of complications.

Please summarize the following text. | Natasha Devon who was appointed last August used a head teachers' conference last week to highlight the level of mental strain being put on pupils.
Ms Devon described the rigorous testing and academic pressure children faced as "detrimental" to their mental health.
The Department for Education denies the role was axed to silence criticism.
"Time and time again over recent years, young people - and the people who teach them - have spoken out about how a rigorous culture of testing and academic pressure is detrimental to their mental health," Ms Devon told the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference.
"At one end of the scale we've got four-year-olds being tested, at the other end of the scale we've got teenagers leaving school and facing the prospect of leaving university with record amounts of debt.
"Anxiety is the fastest growing illness in under-21s. These things are not a coincidence."
On Tuesday this week, numbers of parents across England kept their children off school for the day in protest at primary tests in England.
The Let Our Kids Be Kids campaign complains of a damaging culture of over-testing in schools.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said an "independent NHS task force report" published in February had "recommended that a cross-government mental health champion be created".
"For this reason we have had to reconsider the department's own role," she said.
And Ms Devon's position was being axed to avoid "confusion".
"Natasha has done a great job of helping us to raise the profile of young people's mental health since her appointment last year," said the spokeswoman.
"We have asked Natasha and others who have been involved in our work to empower schools and young people to promote good mental health to continue to work with us as we prepare to launch our activity later this year."

He said he had used a "small amount" of petrol to light a bonfire in an enclosure in his garden.
The MP said he was treated at a specialist burns unit and is now recovering at home in Eastchurch.
Mr Henderson used the post to warn others about the dangers of using petrol to start garden fires.
He said: "My hair caught fire and I was badly burned on my face, back, sides, chest, both arms and right leg.
"In fact, my left leg was the only part of my body to escape relatively unscathed.
"Thankfully there was a hosepipe close by, positioned for just such an eventuality, and my wife Louise had the good sense to immediately douse me with water for 10 minutes.

He added: "I have posted a photograph showing the outcome of my accident.
"It is not a flattering photograph, but I have posted it because I very much hope it will show, in graphic terms, the affect that one moment of thoughtlessness can have on any one of us."

Natalie McGarry, who represents Glasgow East, was briefly held by authorities near a security checkpoint in the south-east of the country on Thursday.
Her lawyer later confirmed security forces became "alarmed" because she had her mobile phone out at a checkpoint.
He said she was "recording the sound of bombs" from Turkish forces falling on a Kurdish area of Sur in Diyarbakir.
The area is a flashpoint in the conflict between the Turkish government and the country's Kurdish population.
Ms McGarry, who was visiting Turkey as part of a delegation to the country, revealed she was "very pleased" to have landed at Heathrow airport.
Writing in a series of tweets on Saturday, she said: "I was forcibly removed from the street by a man who pushed me repeatedly and would've hit me but for intervention of younger colleagues.
"I was denied access to an interpreter and taken into a shack behind the demarcation line which was filled with guns."
She said she was "relieved" after an interpreter was allowed in after 45 minutes.
She continued: "My absolute admiration to fellow delegates who stayed to support me & were increasingly worried by the shouting & swearing.
"Thank you also to the British Embassy who acted so swiftly to help secure my release. And everyone locally who was contacted & put pressure.
"Thanks also to the Kurdish population of Sur who came to welcome me out and hugged me when I cried. And they brought me chai and thanks."
Ms McGarry added: "I freely admit to crying when I was released. It was a terrifying experience albeit it only lasted a couple of hours.
"I cannot imagine if life was a constant struggle of fear like that everyday which is why Turkey's Nato partners need to demand it stop."

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | The Scottish government has been consulting on plans to introduce new regional education boards, which would operate across council areas.
Some within local government fear the proposals could reduce their traditional role.
The EIS union said ensuring education was democratically accountable at a local level "remained key".
The Scottish government consultation also covers its desire to hand as much power as possible to individual schools and head teachers as part of efforts to close the attainment gap between the country's wealthiest and most deprived pupils.
This will include £120m of government funds which will go straight to head teachers to allow them to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds - with schools with the most disadvantaged pupils getting the most money.
It also wants to create new regional education boards which will be designed to support schools and help ones in different council areas work together more effectively.
However, details of what specific powers the boards will have and the regions they will cover have still to be decided.
The government has insisted that councils will still have legal responsibility for schools, and an important role to play in deciding how they are run.
But local government has been fiercely protective of its traditional role in the education system, with some wondering what practical powers they will retain after the new regional boards are introduced and greater powers are devolved to individual schools.
Speaking in October, Cosla president David O'Neill said the local government body would strongly resist any attempt to "centralise" the education system.
In its response to the school governance consultation, which will close later on Friday, the EIS welcomed the commitment from the Scottish government that it will not remove education from local authority control.
And it praised ministers for ruling out a move towards the "discredited academy or free school models" that have been introduced elsewhere in the UK.
But the union's general secretary, Larry Flanagan, echoed the view that any "significant restructuring" of the relationship between central and local government would be a "significant distraction from the real needs of Scottish education".
He said: "Recent tensions between national and local government have led some to question whether the current model of delivery through local authorities is the best means of delivering education at a local level.
"It could be argued, however, that the checks and balances which exist between the different layers of government is an important aspect of a pluralist approach to democracy.
"The EIS does not believe that it would be useful at this point to look at any significant restructuring of the basic relationship between the two arms of government.
"In fact, we would go further and state that it would be a significant distraction from the real needs of Scottish education to engage in such a process."
Mr Flanagan also said it was important that new initiatives, such as the £120m in additional funding for attainment projects, were managed through democratic structures to ensure fairness and transparency.
And he warned that schools, and the education system in general, would struggle to cope if wide-ranging changes were introduced too quickly.
He added: "It is essential that sufficient time is taken to make the correct decisions and to prepare for changes, rather than rushing to judgment and implementation simply to meet political rather than educational imperatives."
Mr Flanagan also said the greatest barrier to educational equality was "the imposition of austerity driven budgets and the underfunding of the Scottish education system over the past period".
He argued it was clear that in significant areas, such as pupil support, previous levels of provision have simply disappeared which "inevitably creates barriers for children's learning".
He concluded: "Genuine commitment to tackling inequality of outcome caused by socio-economic disadvantage requires solid support for schools, and the necessary resources, as the EIS has outlined in its submission to the Governance Review."
Meanwhile, the Commission on School Reform - set up by the Reform Scotland and Centre for Scottish Public Policy think tanks - has published its own response to the Scottish government consultation.
It welcomed proposals to give schools, teachers and parents greater autonomy, but recommended that all decisions relating to "children's learning and school life" should be taken in school unless strong arguments are advanced to the contrary.
This would include allowing head teachers to have the final say in staff appointments, and to be able to remove staff who are surplus to requirements or not performing satisfactorily.
But it said passing more power to schools would fundamentally alter the relationship between schools and local authorities, with a "significant impact" on local democracy.
The commission also said change should take place only when the ground has been well-prepared, and need not take place at the same pace or even in the same form throughout the country.
Speaking ahead of the consultation closing, a Scottish government spokesman said it had an "unwavering focus on improving Scotland's education system to make it world-class".
He added: "Our comprehensive programme of reform is based firmly on the independent findings of the 2015 OECD review of Scottish education which recommended, among other things, putting schools and communities at the heart of the education system.
"That is why we are reviewing school governance, and we will carefully consider all submissions to our consultation." | A teaching union has warned against reducing the influence of councils over the country's education system. |

The win saw the Republic lie level on four points with Wales, Austria and Serbia in World Cup 2018 qualifying Group D after two rounds of fixtures.
"Seamus came up with a wonder run and a goal that befits the captain of the side," said O'Neill after the game.
"I'm delighted to get three points but we can play a lot better than that."
The Republic struggled to find top gear against the Georgians at the Aviva Stadium in a match which saw goalmouth action at a premium.
Everton defender Coleman's strike 10 minutes after the interval, his first for his country, proved the difference between the sides. It came after a run down the right which was followed by several lucky ricochets and then a tap-in.
"They had by miles the better of the first half but we came into it in the second half," argued O'Neill.
"We pressed them better and we were actually getting some second balls which we didn't get in the first half.
"The players have a great desire to do well but when things are not going well you need to re-energise.
"We needed a spark in the second half to get ourselves going and the players did get themselves going in the second half."
The Irish twice defeated Georgia by a single goal in qualification for the Euro 2016 finals and O'Neill was wary of the threat posed by Vladimir Weiss' side for this game.
"We have played them three times in a year and a half and we have found all three matches very difficult indeed.
"I watched their game against Austria and if they had a natural goalscorer in their side, they could cause teams lots of problems."
Goalscorer Coleman echoed the sentiments of his manager after scoring his first international goal on winning his 40th cap.
"In the first half we weren't good enough and we were lucky to go in 0-0 at half-time.
"It's all about three points but we know the performance wasn't good enough - we're happy to come out of it with three points.
"The manager just gave us a rollicking and said 'nowhere near good enough'.
"We came out second half, played slightly better, scored the goal, defended better. I thought the man of the match was our keeper who was immense. He was unbelievable at the back, won everything in the air."
On scoring his first international goal, Coleman added: "It's a special feeling that to score for your country. It's an amazing feeling, growing up as a kid you want to play for Ireland."

"This bomb was placed in a graveyard and positioned where it could be used to attack passing police patrols.
"The bomb was left with the intent to kill police officers. It could have killed anyone passing by.
"There was a complete disregard for the community. Anyone with information should come forward.
"No one has claimed responsibility. One line of inquiry is violent dissident republican activity."
Secretary of State Theresa Villiers condemned those behind the incident and said "terrorists will never succeed".
"The fact that those responsible were prepared to use a graveyard shows once again the contempt in which they hold the community," she said.
One man told BBC Radio Foyle he was angry that he could not get in to the graveyard.
"My wife died three years ago and I visit her grave every day," he said.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against their convictions for weapons possession, incitement and taking part in illegal demonstrations.
Dr Ali al-Ekri was sentenced to five years and the eight others were given between a month and three years.
Nine other medics had their convictions overturned in June and two are hiding.
The case against the medics has drawn international condemnation and has been seen as a test of the government's commitment to reform.
It dates back to February and March 2011, when they worked at the Salmaniya Medical Centre in Manama.
The hospital treated many of those hurt when the security forces crushed protests demanding more democracy and an end to discrimination against the majority Shia Muslim community by the Sunni royal family.
During the unrest, some medics at the Salmaniya Medical Centre spoke out against the crackdown in interviews with foreign media after treating the wounded, or took part in protests after ambulances were fired at.
After King Hamad declared a state of emergency and brought in troops from neighbouring Sunni Gulf states, at least 95 health workers were arrested, according to Physicians for Human Rights.
In September 2011, 20 of them were convicted by the National Safety Court, a military tribunal, of attempting to bring down the government and sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Two were tried in absentia.
The medics and human rights groups dismissed the convictions as political and aimed at stifling dissent. Many of the defendants said they had been harassed by the security forces and then tortured in prison, simply for trying to treat people wounded in anti-government protests.
The UN's secretary general also expressed concern about the "harsh sentences" and "serious due process irregularities", and called for their release.
In November, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) - a panel of human rights experts asked to look into the unrest - called for civilian retrials for those who had been convicted by military tribunals. It confirmed that medical personnel were tortured in custody.
The medics' cases were then referred to the Criminal Court of Appeal, which in June upheld the convictions of the nine doctors. The court did, however, reduce the sentences imposed by the National Safety Court.
Dr Ekri was sentenced to five years for possession and concealment of "white weaponry" - a term used to describe non-firearms - to serve a terrorist purpose, and for participating in illegal gatherings, while his colleague Dr Ibrahim Damastani was given three years for possession of a "white weapon" and illegal assembly.
The other seven medics were sentenced to between one month and a year for taking part in illegal gatherings, holding public officials hostage, inciting sectarian hatred and destruction of hospital property. Five were immediately released on time served but still appealed.
On Monday, Deputy Attorney General Abdul Rahman al-Sayyed announced that the Court of Cassation had rejected the doctors' appeals.
He said the defendants had "used the security conditions that prevailed at the time, and violated the duties and ethics of their sacred profession, and undermined the security, safety and unity of the Bahraini people". | Bahrain's highest court has upheld the prison sentences given to nine medics for their alleged role in last year's pro-democracy protests, officials say. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | It found 21% of pupils who struggled with language as they began school, failed to meet the expected standards in national tests when they left.
The researchers said poor language skills had an effect on all children, regardless of family background.
Factors like parents' education and poverty were also tied to attainment.
Academics at the Institute of Education analysed the progress of 5,000 children using data from the Millennium Cohort Study and the National Pupil Database in England.
Some 23% of children who struggled with language at age five also did not reach the expected standard in their Sats (national tests) in English at age 11, the study found.
Under government plans, from 2017 children who do not pass these tests will have to re-sit them in their first year in secondary school.
Gareth Jenkins, from Save the Children, says the research demonstrates for the first time the most crucial determinant of success in Sats tests is how well children can communicate when they start school.
The poorest children are more likely to start school without simple skills, such as being able to tell a short story, express feelings and communicate easily with a wide range of adults
The charity says the research should prompt a national debate about how to drive up the quality of nursery provision.
"The most important thing we could do is to see every nursery led by an early years graduate teacher, because the research is really clear that this helps improve the quality of the activities, and the poorest children in particular benefit from that extra care," he said.
It is estimated that this would need a further 11,000 graduates to be employed.
The legal minimum set out in the early years framework in England says a nursery should be led by someone with two years experience and a Level 3 early years qualification, such as an NVQ Diploma.
Most two- and three-year-olds are in nurseries run by private or voluntary organisations, with 85% being rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding.
The Pre-School Learning Alliance has estimated that employing a fully, graduate-led workforce would result in a funding shortfall of 11% for funded three- and four-year-olds, and a 19% shortfall for funded two-year-olds.
Alliance chief executive, Neil Leitch, said early years had remained a low pay sector, and although recent increases in funding were welcome there were still financial pressures.
"What is not clear, however, is how providers are expected to recruit and retain graduate-level staff without the funding needed to pay adequate wages," he said.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "The number of graduates in the workforce continues to rise, and we want to see more trained graduates in these roles.
"That's why we provide funding course fees and bursaries for eligible trainees, and are also supporting employers to help with their staff training costs.
"We continue to look at what more can be done to encourage talented staff to forge a career in the early years and this will be a key strand of our Workforce Strategy which will be published in 2016."
In the UK, a higher proportion of public spending already supports early years care and education than in other developed countries, between 0.5% and 0.9% of national wealth, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Current government policy in England is focused on making childcare more available to working parents by extending free provision in term-time from 15 to 30 hours.
The first pilot schemes, costing £13m, will begin in eight areas of England this September, with the policy being fully implemented in 2017. | Children with poor language skills at age five are significantly more likely to struggle with maths at age 11, a study for Save the Children suggests. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Currently, half of patients wait over 36 hours and some wait several days before hip surgery, and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence says this is too long.
Outcomes are often poor - one in three die within 12 months.
Prompt surgery could help change this.
The new recommendations for England say timely surgery and effective treatment including physiotherapy after the operation can significantly improve patients' lives, reducing the length of their hospital stay and getting them back on their feet sooner.
Hip fractures are a serious problem which affect 1 in 6 women and some men. Around 75,000 hip fractures occur each year in the UK, costing the NHS £2bn a year in medical and social care.
74-year-old Sheila Bex, from West Sussex, waited in pain for over a fortnight with a broken hip due to brittle bones before having her surgery.
In A&E her symptoms were dismissed by a doctor as groin pain and she was sent home with a walking frame.
But the pain persisted and 12 days later she returned to her GP and was sent for an x-ray.
This revealed that she had a fracture and needed immediate surgery.
She was admitted to hospital but it took another three days and two cancelled operations before she finally had her surgery.
Sheila has made a good recovery and still manages to live an independent life, but she hopes the new guidelines will mean others do not have to suffer a similar plight.
NICE says the changes it recommends would cost very little to implement and would save money in the long-term.
It wants patients to be operated on either the same day, or the day after, hospital admission.
And immediately after the surgery a team of different experts, including surgeons, physicians, anaesthetists, nurses and physiotherapists, should work out a care plan to to help patients regain their mobility and independence as quickly as possible.
Falls and hip fractures in adults are often a sign of underlying ill health and a co-ordinated multidisciplinary approach from hospital admission to discharge is essential, says NICE.
Tim Chesser, a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon who helped develop the guidelines, said: "Hip fractures are a major issue - they affect more women than breast cancer. Although there have been big improvements in the quality of NHS care, we know that, nationally, some patients are still waiting too long for surgery.
"Prompt planned surgery by an experienced team can lead to better outcomes for the patient, so this guideline is a real opportunity to spread good practice by recommending that appropriate surgery by an experienced consultant takes place the same day, or day after, a patient is admitted to hospital."
Michelle Mitchell of the charity Age UK said: "When it comes to hip fractures, the difference between good and bad care can be life changing, yet currently many people are subject to variability in terms of treatment.
"It's imperative NICE guidelines are implemented throughout the country to raise standards of care for people suffering hip fractures and avoid the devastating effects of poor treatment."
Dr Claire Bowring, from the National Osteoporosis Society, welcomed the guidance: "The consequences of a hip fracture can be devastating so prompt management and treatment is essential.
"There are now 78,000 hip fractures a year, 10% of these people will be dead within 30 days; 30% will be dead within a year." | Patients with a broken hip should be offered surgery as soon as they are admitted to hospital, recommends new guidance that criticises current NHS waiting times in England. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | The call came as the think tank cut its global economic forecasts for 2016.
Last year, it forecast 2016 growth of 3.3%. It now says that will be just 3%.
It said trade, investment and wage growth were all too weak, adding that cutting interest rates and other monetary policy fixes were not sufficient to reflate growth.
Interest rates in many parts of the world have been cut to attempt to stimulate borrowing and investment. Rates in many countries, including the UK, are at record lows.
The US, notably, raised its rates by a sliver late last year. This was designed to calm investors' nerves, but to many, it now seems like a prematurely optimistic move.
The OECD has now cut its growth forecast for the US to 2% from the 2.5% it was predicting last November, one month before the country's interest rate went up.
In Europe, Japan and Switzerland, rates have been cut to negative, meaning that depositors pay the bank for keeping their money.
The OECD, a Paris-based think tank funded by rich nations, said: "Monetary policy cannot work alone.
"A stronger collective policy response is needed to strengthen demand."
UK growth is now forecast at 2.1%, down from the 2.4% it said it was expecting in its November report.
The OECD also cut its forecast for Europe's powerhouse, Germany, from 1.8% to 1.3%.
A major factor behind the global slowdown in the pace of growth is China, where growth rates have fallen from well above 7% to under 6% now.
The OECD was not expecting further pain from China, It left its forecast for Chinese growth at 6.5% for this year.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | He said that the legacy of the past was not properly addressed in November's Fresh Start agreement.
He received an OBE in the New Year Honours list for services to drama and the community in Northern Ireland.
Nesbitt is a patron of Wave Trauma Centre.
It supports people bereaved, injured or traumatised during the conflict in Northern Ireland.
In an interview for BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday News programme, the actor said he hoped his award would bring more awareness to the work of Wave.
Nesbitt said he shared the view that families were let down by last year's political deal.
"You cannot move on without fully addressing what is clearly the ongoing and indelible legacy of the past and really looking after the people who have suffered and are still suffering," he said.
"These are real people who continue to be impacted, and [the trauma] is passing on to their family members."
"Because of the lucky nature of my success, I've had the opportunity to do quite a lot in Northern Ireland, which is a duty, but also a real privilege.
"So if this brings more awareness to the ongoing work WAVE is doing, then I'm thrilled."
In 2015, WAVE received almost 700 new victim referrals, aged from seven to 83 years old.
"That's people presenting for the very first time," said Nesbitt. "With the children as young as seven, we're seeing a lot of trans-generational trauma being passed on."
Alongside Liam Neeson, Nesbitt has in the past backed appeals by families of the 16 Disappeared for information that could lead to the recovery of the four victims still not found.
On The Sunday News, he reiterated that appeal, saying: "Someone out there will have information.
"A few years ago, they thought they wouldn't get any of them. But we've had so much success with the appeals we've made, and the relief it brings to the families is so acute.
"WAVE needs funding and we need to do more work on that."

Unai Emery's side looked set for extra time but Cissokho, brother of Aston Villa defender Aly, headed a corner into his own net in injury time.
Angers, playing in the final for the first time since 1957, escaped in the first half when Angel di Maria's deflected cross hit the post.
But Nicolas Pepe then hit the post at the other end for the underdogs.
Emery has been under intense pressure after a disappointing first season at the Parc de Princes, with PSG finishing eight points behind Ligue 1 champions Monaco and exiting the Champions League in the last 16.
Victory at the Stade de France ensured they will end the season with two trophies, having beaten Monaco 4-1 in the French League Cup final in April.
But Emery has still arguably underachieved since replacing Laurent Blanc, who won the domestic title in each of his three seasons in charge.
They found it hard work against a physical Angers, whose defender Ismael Traore was lucky not to be sent off in the second half for an appalling studs-first lunge into Julian Draxler's shin.
Di Maria hit a free-kick into the side netting, and Edinson Cavani went close late on, but Angers looked as if they had held out for an additional half-hour until Cissokho's moment of misery in the first minute of stoppage time.

9. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows, 1966 (Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles)
10. A-ha - Take On Me, 1985 (The Power Of Love, Jennifer Rush)
The 1987 hit was originally beaten to the top by the Pet Shop Boys' cover of Elvis Presley hit Always On My Mind.
Other songs to feature in the top 10 include The Beatles' Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever, which was held off by Engelbert Humperdinck's Release Me in 1967 and A-ha's 1985 hit Take On Me, which was pipped to the top by The Power Of Love by Jennifer Rush.
The Who's My Generation was 12th in the list, Wonderwall by Oasis finished at 13, Adele's Rolling In The Deep was at 34 and Rocket Man by Sir Elton John was at 37.

A panel of experts - including Radio 2's Ken Bruce and Janice Long, Radio 1's Annie Nightingale, Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot and 6 Music's Steve Lamacq - compiled a shortlist from 941 singles which have made it to number two. Radio 2 listeners then voted.
"Ultravox's Vienna has beaten off some truly great, classic tracks to claim the title of the UK public's favourite number two single," said Mr Talbot.
"It is also probably the most apt winner, given the fact that it was kept from the chart summit by Joe Dolce's Shaddup You Face, which has long been considered one of the biggest chart injustices of all time."

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The two Muslims sympathise with the Hindu migrants, also known as Kashmiri Pandits, calling them victims of circumstance. They admit the Hindus were wronged, but are quick to add that they were helpless to stop the mass migration.
For the Hindu men, temple keeper Maharaj Pandita and his friend Sanjay Tikku, the "absence of the Muslim community's collective guilt" over what happened is a familiar frustration.
It has been 27 years since a violent armed insurgency erupted in Kashmir, completely paralysing its politics and crippling its economy.
It also tore apart the centuries-old harmony that existed between the majority Muslim and tiny but influential Hindu communities, after the latter was terrorised into leaving.
Muslim militant groups targeted Hindus by killing their men, burning their homes and damaging their places of worship. Mosques would make calls for them to leave the valley.
Saifullah, a former militant, tells the BBC that he regrets participating in driving Kashmiri Hindus out. "We want them back. We want them to live in peace. Kashmir is theirs too," he says.
The bulk of Kashmir's Hindus are now settled in neighbouring Jammu city and the Indian capital Delhi.
Some, like Mr Pandita and Mr Tikku never left, though more out of compulsion rather than defiance.
The number of those who stayed, however, is insignificant. Finding Kashmiri Pandits in the Muslim-dominated valley is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
According to one estimate, 3,000-5,000 Pandits are left in the valley today - a far cry from the 300,000 who used to live there. These few thousand are scattered over 185 places in the valley, where seven million people live.
Today the Pandits are condemned to live a life of anonymity in their own homeland.
Mr Tikku and Mohan Lal Bhat, like most Hindus who did not leave Kashmir, lived nightmarish existences during the initial phase of the conflict.
"In the beginning there was a lot of fear, nights were eerily silent. If a cat jumped on to the roof we thought militants had come to kill us", Mr Tikku tells the BBC.
Mr Bhat, a retired policeman, also recalls the "painful times" he used to be up all night "in case someone came to kill us".
"I would look out of the window to see if an intruder was coming to kill us," he says.
The Bhats never left the valley and poverty never left them. A young son was killed in a terror attack. The other is unemployed. Like many others in the valley, they have their own homes, but ready cash is scarce.
For the community, the scars undoubtedly run deep, but it seems that time has nearly healed their wounds. They now enjoy healthy relationships with their Muslim neighbours.
But relative peace comes with its own set of problems.
Many complain about a lack of priests. This becomes an issue during occasions like weddings, and also during deaths, when priests are needed to perform the last rites.
Another problem, according to Mr Tikku, is finding partners for their children.
He estimates that there are around 900 Pandit boys and girls of marriageable age in the valley. Mr Pandita himself has three daughters, none of them married yet. "We would like to get our daughters married in the valley but it's not easy to find the boys in our community," he says.
Children's education is another worry.
Many young parents are unwilling to raise their children in a predominantly Muslim Kashmir, where all children "have to learn Arabic and the Koran".
Sonica Bhatt is 30 and has three children. The oldest is six. She says she has not told them about their Hindu background yet, because their friends are all Muslim. "We want to send them to Jammu where they will be raised as Hindus," she says.
Writer Manoj Pandita, a police officer, doesn't think education is a problem for Hindu children. He says he went to a local school where he had to learn Islamic tenets.
Journalist Manohar Lalgami, who is the only Hindu employee in an Urdu newspaper, agrees.
He says he is not scared of speaking his mind to his fellow Muslim journalists. "I am loudmouthed and forthright. That has earned me my colleagues respect," he tells the BBC.
Mr Lalgami is among many internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus. He had to abandon his ancestral home and settle in Srinagar in a cluster of flats built by the federal government under a scheme that has seen more than 2,000 members of his community return to the valley.
To him, the real problem for the valley Pandits is official apathy.
"Unfortunately neither has the government paid attention to us nor has any political party raised our problems," he says.
"You can say we have been overlooked by everyone," he says. | In a room opposite an ancient temple in Srinagar, four men - two Hindu and two Muslim - are hotly debating the "forced" exodus of hundreds of thousands of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir in the early 1990s. |

The pair were due to fight in Las Vegas in January, but the bout was cancelled at the 11th hour when Barros failed a medical exam.
Welshman Selby, 30, feels higher-profile fights await after finally getting past his mandatory challenger.
"Getting Barros out of the way frees me up for the big fights," he said.
"It's been a long time coming, and on Saturday night, I'm looking forward to putting on a show and to see the back of Jonathan Barros."
The original fight was on the undercard of the WBA tight fight between Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton, with the winners then set to meet in a unification fight.
But those plans were ruined when Barros was forced to withdraw 24 hours before the bout, with the Nevada Athletic Commission saying the Argentine had "not met fight requirements".
Cruz, who took Frampton's title, then suggested he was open to an unification fight with Selby, but the IBF ordered a mandatory defence with Barros after concerns over the 33-year-old's health were allayed.
"He's not this big, mean monster I've been making him out to be in my head," said Selby, who met Barros for the first time at Friday's weigh-in.
"He's very good, he's very strong. It's going to be a tough fight, but one I'm confident of winning. I believe I can beat anybody."

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The group, led by Prof Sir Steve Smith, Vice-Chancellor of Exeter University, fears for the future of the European Union's Horizon 2020 research fund.
The EU is considering plans to divert some research money to a more broadly based strategic investment fund.
Universities across Europe say this would harm research and innovation.
Under the proposals some £1.95bn (2.7bn euros) of the money previously earmarked for research in Horizon 2020 could be transferred into the European Strategic Investment Fund (EFSI), says the umbrella group Universities UK.
The European Commission argues that the transfer will widen the range of institutions and businesses which can benefit from the money and boost entrepreneurship, jobs and growth.
It describes EFSI as "a major step toward job creation and growth in the European economy".
Horizon 2020 was only launched last year and at the outset was worth nearly £67bn (80bn euros) over seven years, to the end of 2020.
The funds are allocated through a competitive process, in which Britain traditionally fares very well, second only to Germany.
UK universities, research centres and businesses were expected to receive £2bn in the first two years of the scheme.
This amounts to just over a fifth of the total British government spend on science.
Vice-chancellors are understandably concerned about any threat to this source of income.
"EU research funding enables UK universities to pursue large scale, high-impact transnational research projects which stimulate direct foreign investment and contribute to growth and competitiveness in the UK and the EU," said Prof Smith, who is also chairman of Universities UK's international policy network.
"It is of fundamental importance that long-term and reliable EU research funding is protected and prioritised.
"The UK should play a leadership role in policy development and ensuring sustainable EU investment in this area."
Prof Smith said the fact that so many vice-chancellors had joined the delegation highlighted the extent of their concerns and the importance of EU funding to higher education in the UK.
In a statement last December universities from across Europe warned that properly funded research was a "prerequisite for innovation", and cuts would risk "performance loss".
The proposal was adopted in a legislative proposal by the European Commission in January and the European Parliament is due to vote on it in a few weeks time.
The Universities UK delegation includes vice-chancellors from the universities of Cardiff, Exeter, Aberdeen, Sunderland, Leicester and Plymouth.
The supporters were protesting against the two League One clubs' respective owners, and had also organised a joint march to the stadium before the game.
Play was delayed for about five minutes while the pigs were cleared.
Charlton went on to win the match 3-0, meaning Coventry remain bottom.
Fans of the London side have made repeated protests against owner Roland Duchatelet's running of the club.
At the end of last season, they threw beach balls and stress balls onto the pitch and Coventry supporters have also been calling on owners Sisu to sell the club.
Charlton manager Russell Slade told BBC Radio London:
"It was different, I've got to say. Protests are something that's happened down the centuries, that's what we do.
"When we're frustrated, people are entitled to voice an opinion and the fans have done that today. All I think is as long as it's done in the right manner and it's done safely, then that's fine.
"Our focus has got to be that we're delivering on the pitch and we're working exceptionally hard to do that and to turn it around."
BBC journalist Ian Shoesmith at The Valley:
"The plastic pigs were hurled onto the pitch from all around the stadium.
"It was completely simultaneous - and had obviously been planned in advance by the two pressure groups opposed to the owners of both clubs.
"It followed a well-attended joint march from Charlton railway station by Addicks and Sky Blues fans."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Felix Magath was sacked with the club bottom of the Championship after seven games, following their relegation from the Premier League last season.
Murphy spent five seasons at Fulham making more than 200 appearances.
"I care about the club deeply and I've always had a desire to get involved but that's out of my hands," the 37-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live Sport.
"I've always said I'd like to go back to Fulham at some point in some capacity because I have an affinity with the supporters there.
"If they did want to speak to me, of course I'd be open-minded to that. I would never disregard something like that."
Magath, 61, had only been in charge of the club since February but his side had taken just one point from their first seven games of the new campaign. The club's under-21 manager Kit Symons has been named as caretaker boss.
Murphy expects the Cottagers to name an experienced replacement but says the most important thing is that they avoid relegation.
"First and foremost, it's about finding the candidates that can get Fulham out of this mess and if people within the hierarchy of the club think that's someone with more experience than me, that's fine," he said.
"My desire is to see them not at the bottom of the Championship because one thing is for sure, if their form continues and there was another relegation, the club structure and finances would be a catastrophe."
Magath became Fulham's third manager of the 2013-14 season following the dismissals of Martin Jol and Rene Meulensteen, but the German could not save the west London club from relegation, ending their 13-year stay in the top flight.
"There were certain methods that he adopted or tried to instil into the players that many of them felt were very unusual to say the least, if not prehistoric," added Murphy.
"It didn't look like a team dying for the cause and playing for the manager, it certainly looked like a lot of players, who were confused and unsure of what they were trying to do." | Former Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy says he would consider becoming the new manager at Craven Cottage. |
Can you summarize the following information? | The 1988 Primary Five class of Primate Dixon Primary School in Coalisland, had just finished Dahl's Danny, the Champion of the World, when they decided they should write to the author.
It was not long before the creator of Willy Wonka, Miss Trunchbull and the Twits replied in his own unique style.
According to The Irish News, it was addressed to teacher James Maye and his class and Dahl's poem contrasted the Tyrone schoolteacher's approach to that of his own.
"From your letters to me it would seem, That your teacher is clearly a dream. There's no whacks on the bum, When you can't do a sum, Instead you get strawberries and cream", he wrote.
But the letter and poem were placed in a drawer where, for almost 30 years, Dahl's correspondence did little but gather dust.
"It wasn't until 2012 that our vice principal Siobhan Murphy was clearing out an old desk, an old desk that could easily have been thrown out, and came across the letter," Primate Dixon's principal Sean Dillon told the BBC.
He said the school "knew straight away" of the significance of their literary find.
The principal's initial research showed the previously unpublished poem had since been printed in the 'Roald Dahl Treasury', a 1997 anthology of unpublished works.
On Tuesday, the letter and poem went on display at the school to mark the centenary of Dahl's birth.
Mr Dillon said everyone connected to the school is "extremely proud" of their link to the literary great.

Leigh Gration, the railway's commercial manager, said the stone building was originally used to store raw animal skins before they were sent away for processing.
The line was built in 1862 and by the turn of the last century, the building was being used by an animal feeds dealer.
The doorway through which feed was delivered directly by rail is now the booking office's main entrance.
"Coincidentally this mezzanine floor level is at platform height," he said.
The building cannot, however, claim to be the world's oldest ever ticket office.
That accolade belongs to the Red Hall in Bourne, Lincolnshire, which was built in around 1650.
It became a booking office for the Bourne and Essendine Railway Company in 1860, until its closure in 1959.
Volunteers have renovated the tannery, installed internal partition walls, heating, lighting, a counter and disabled access.
The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway was closed to all traffic in 1989, having closed to passengers 40 years earlier.
It was fully re-opened in 2011.
Seoul claims Beijing is retaliating economically over its deployment of a US anti-missile defence system.
South Korea's Trade Minister Joo Hyung-hwan told parliament China "may be in violation of some trade agreements".
China opposes the deployment, saying it will affect the regional security balance and allow the US to spy on it.
Washington and Seoul say the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) system is designed to protect against threats from North Korea. But it has caused significant tension with China, which is South Korea's largest trading partner.
"The Chinese government may not admit that they took retaliatory measures against the Thaad decision, but we have to point out the possibility," Mr Joo said according to Yonhap news agency.
"We are collecting evidence and will also deal with issues that South Korean companies are treated unfairly in China."
South Korea complained about China to the WTO over the issue on Friday, Mr Joo said.
What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have?
China's leaders have voiced serious displeasure over the Thaad system and its deployment has generated anti-South Korean sentiment.
The row has coincided with a number of economic measures being imposed on South Korea.
China's National Tourism Administration ordered local travel agencies to stop selling tour packages to South Korea starting 15 March, according to Korea's Tourism Organisation.
"Some estimates suggest that Beijing's travel ban could reduce the number of Chinese visitors to South Korea by up to 70%, resulting in billions of dollars in lost tourism-related revenue," Scott Seaman, director of Asia at the Eurasia Group, said.
China froze the sale and distribution of some South Korean television dramas, music and products starting last October. Nearly all shows or music concerts starring Korean artists have been suspended.
Chinese authorities have also closed dozens of stores belonging to South Korea's Lotte Group, which has signed a deal to provide land to host the Thaad system, for allegedly violating safety regulations.
China denies the recent moves are related to the Thaad deployment.
In a separate development, the Lotte Group's 93-year-old founder and three other family members went on trial in Seoul on Monday for alleged embezzlement, tax evasion and fraud.
Tong Zhao, a fellow from the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, believes China's economic pressure may ultimately prove counter-productive.
"Threats of economic sanctions are part of coercive diplomacy, but they may not be useful in addressing the Thaad issue," he wrote in a 2016 report.
"These forceful measures would likely be seen as a sign of disrespect and a direct threat to South Korea's interests - which could ultimately push South Korea to bolster its military alliance with the United States". | An 18th Century building which railway enthusiasts believe is the oldest in the world to house a working ticket office has opened in Derbyshire.

"Hans Werner Henze, one of the most versatile and influential composers of our time has died," Schott said in a statement on its website.
He died in Dresden on Saturday, it said.
One of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, Henze wrote 10 symphonies and was especially known for his works for music theatre.
He was noted for his many operas and ballets, and for a commitment to political art, which informs much of his work.
Born on 1 July 1926 in Guetersloh, Germany, the son of a schoolteacher, Hans Werner Henze was initially educated at schools with a socialist outlook.
But, following the Nazi Party's ascent to power in 1933, he lived a dual life. While dutifully studying the official curriculum at school, he also played chamber music at a partly Jewish family house and there steeped himself in proscribed literature.
Henze's father was killed on the Eastern Front and Hans was conscripted into the army in 1944, ending the war in a British prisoner-of-war camp. His experiences left Henze with a lifelong hatred of fascism. | The RMT union has protested in Aberdeen against what it claimed was "poverty pay" on a Northern Isles cargo vessel.

There were 64,645 mortgage approvals for house purchases in April, the Bank of England said, a 2% fall on the previous month.
Mortgage lenders have told of a fall in demand, despite the low rates on offer.
One theory is that landlords might have brought forward purchases, to avoid the latest in a series of tax changes.
From 1 April, the amount of tax relief they could claim on mortgage payments was reduced.
The Bank of England figures also reveal that it continues to be difficult for savers to get a decent return. The interest paid on variable Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) averaged 0.39% - a new record low.
Interest paid on instant access savings accounts was just above a record low.
Meanwhile, the rate of growth of consumer credit - such as credit card borrowing, loans and overdrafts - remained at more than 10% a year in April.

Excalibur Steel UK Limited said its plans for the business were based on "re-engineering" the way it is run.
Excalibur is one of two possible buyers, the other is Liberty House.
Unions are concerned about job losses at the Tata plants, which include the country's biggest steel plant at Port Talbot in south Wales.
More than 4,000 people work at that site.
The current owner, India's Tata Steel, said this week it would begin looking at what prospective buyers of its loss-making UK business are prepared to offer after receiving letters of intent.
Tata is hoping for a quick sale.
It has connected with 190 potential bidders for the Port Talbot site, which is the biggest in the UK.
Tata has not publicly set a deadline for any deal, but has made it clear it cannot sustain its £1m-a-day losses indefinitely and does not want to prolong the uncertainty for workers and customers.
Excalibur said the reorganisation would be necessary as the current business was run as part of a far larger one, which had other plants in Europe.
It said in a statement: "The opportunity for greater efficiency involves evolving from a highly functional centralised business model, with significant fixed costs and overheads.
"This arises because the existing arrangements are based on a pan-European structure. Excalibur's proposals will see a migration towards leaner autonomous sub-business units. In the event Excalibur is successful in acquiring Tata's UK steel assets, this will inevitably take some time to achieve.
"Potentially this could affect up to 1,000 jobs across the entirety of the operation."
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community union said this was "worrying" for steelworkers, who were already facing uncertainty: "We have had no discussions with Excalibur about additional job losses.
"We await to see the details of their plans for the business and any implications for jobs."

Summarize the information in the following section. | At Leamington Magistrates' Court, Steve Brookes, 55, admitted seven counts of observing a person doing a private act.
Brookes, of Loxley Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, was arrested in September after the motion-sensitive camera was found in an air freshener.
Brookes, who worked for Channel 4, ITV and the BBC, was granted bail to appear before Warwick Crown Court next month.
Magistrates heard Brookes, who contributed gardening tips to a BBC Radio Coventry and Warwickshire programme, was "full of remorse."
Prosecutor Baldev Atwal told the court: "Mr Brookes's iPhone had an application whereby he would be aware of the activation of that camera and could watch the recordings as they were reviewed and unfolded.
"What will clearly trouble this court is that Mr Brookes has gone to some extent and some length planning and setting up the camera."
Michael Jervis, defending, said Brookes appreciated that he was facing a custodial sentence and regarded his own behaviour as disgraceful and disgusting.
"He is in many ways a ruined man - his income certainly is going to suffer.
"He has become a very well-known character in the local community. He has a very close-knit family and despite his behaviour his family are supporting him."
Police said the action followed reports of incidents between November 2015 and September 2016.
Magistrates opted to commit Brookes for sentence at Warwick Crown Court on 8 February, ruling that their powers of punishment - a one-year jail term - were insufficient.
Crowds attending Championship, League One and League Two games were up by 11% on the 2015-16 campaign, and the most since 1958-59 when 18.8m turned out.
The figure was boosted by almost two million fans of relegated Newcastle and Aston Villa attending home fixtures.
However, there was a 3% rise for the 67 clubs in the EFL this season and last.
In the Championship, more than 11m supporters went through the turnstiles, with Newcastle boasting the biggest average attendance of more than 51,000 and Villa second with more than 32,000.
League One and League Two champions Sheffield United and Portsmouth had the highest average crowds in their respective divisions - the Blades with just under 22,000 and Pompey recording close to 17,000.
The three highest cumulative attendances came in the post-war period from 1948 to 1950, when more than 23m people watched games in tiers two to four each campaign.
"It is clear to see that the EFL continues to be one of the most watched football competitions and our clubs deserve huge credit for continuing to find new and innovative ways of encouraging supporters through their turnstiles," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said.

Write a summary of this document. | Prof Sugata Mitra was outlining details of the first "school in the cloud".
While there would be an online adult moderator at times, the pupils would largely organise themselves, he said.
Meanwhile, an MIT professor laid out his vision of bringing the very best university education to some of the poorest parts of the world.
Prof Anant Agarwal already has one million students enrolled in his online school, edX, an online platform offering courses from some of the highest-profile universities.
He started the non-profit website because he believed it was time for a radical shake-up of education.
"Education has not changed in 500 years - we still herd children like cats into classrooms at 9am."
Such a model might work to a certain extent in the developed world but for many parts of the world, another way of doing things is needed.
The edX platform now has 27 university partners, all offering online courses in a wide range of subjects.
"For the first time, learners are able to take course from some of the best professors in the world," said Prof Agarwal.
The cost of running the platform has been boosted with investments of $60m (£38m) from MIT and Harvard universities and the site is hoping to fund itself in the future by licensing some of the online courses back to universities to offer a more blended learning experience for all students.
At the main TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in LA in February, Prof Sugata Mitra was awarded a $1m (£638,000) prize fund to set up a series of cloud schools.
At TEDGlobal he laid out how he intended to spend the money and what a cloud school would be like.
"A school in the cloud is basically a school without physical teachers. We need this because in many places you can't get teachers or the teachers are very bad," he said.
Initially he intends to set up five cloud schools, three in India and two in the UK, near the University of Newcastle where he teaches.
The remotest of the locations is Korakati, a village in eastern India, where he hopes to build a school in the next four months.
It will be very different from a conventional school - a glass pod filled with computers and with one large screen to allow moderators to Skype in and play a role in the education of the children.
The moderators will be drawn from Prof Mitra's "cloud granny" programme, which is already up and running in the UK and India.
Retired people in the UK connect via Skype to a variety of community-run youth clubs in India, offering a range of activities, with the most popular being reading them stories.
What their exact role in the cloud schools will be is unclear - "I don't know what they will do," said Prof Mitra.
For him, the key part of the project will be to let the children self-organise.
There will be no timetables or curriculum and much of the learning will be left to the children.
"We will let 300 children in on the first day and all hell will break loose. But gradually they will start to organise themselves," he said.
The model for the schools is drawn from the hole-in-the-wall computers that Prof Mitra set up in the slums of India in 1999.
The computers came with no instructions and were simply left for children to explore for themselves. The way they developed skills amazed Prof Mitra.
He expects that a similar pattern will emerge in the cloud schools.
"In the first few weeks they will go berserk with games. Then one child will discover Paint and the others will copy. After four months they will discover Google," he said.
The children will not be pre-warned about the moderator but at some point in the first couple of weeks they will appear on the big screen.
"They will be life-size because this is important to children. It will be interesting to see how they react," said Prof Mitra.
The only rule in the school will be when it shuts.
"I will close it at sundown otherwise I will have all the mothers after me," he said.
He has already talked to mothers from the remote village of Korakati, but most were baffled by what he was trying to achieve.
"One thought that the children were going to be taught by ghosts," he said. | Children in developing countries could educate themselves using computers, the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh has been told. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The figure was far lower than the 205,000 increase forecast by economists.
The number of jobs created in July and August were revised down by a combined 59,000.
Wall Street opened sharply lower, with the Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes both down about 1.3%.
However, both indexes later recovered to be up about 0.5% and 0.6% respectively.
The poor figures also resulted in a rollercoaster ride for the FTSE 100, which ended the day up 0.9% at 6,129.9 points despite also turning negative in afternoon trading.
The Labor Department numbers reinforced fears that the China-led global economic slowdown is hitting America's recovery, adding to doubt about whether the Federal Reserve will raise rates before 2016.
The number of new jobs for August was cut by 37,000 to 136,000 - in sharp contrast to the upward revision expected by economists.
The July total was also reduced, by 22,000 to 245,000.
There's no sugar coating it, this was an ugly report.
After months of solid growth, the US labour market took a break over the summer.
The number of Americans in the labour force dropped to a 38-year low. The labour force participation rate - those in work or seeking employment - plunged to 62.4% in September.
Just as bad for those with jobs, wages were flat and they worked fewer hours.
The slowdown is seen by many as evidence that economic difficulties abroad are beginning to wash up on US shores.
With the jobs report now pointing to slower US growth, stocks tumbled. Investors are nervous. This doesn't bode well for results season, which kicks off next week in America.
And the weak report will no doubt complicate the task of US Federal Reserve officials, deciding when to raise interest rates for the first time in a decade.
Many economists believe a rate hike is less likely this year.
Tom Porcelli, chief US economist at RBC Capital Markets, described Friday's non-farm payrolls report as "absolutely weak".
"So if you have a weak report here in combination with some of the other weakness that we are seeing across the globe, the odds [of a rate rise] get dinged for December," he said.
"Every aspect of the September jobs report was disappointing," said Michelle Girard, an economist at RBS Securities. She also believed that the Fed "will be forced to stay on hold over the remainder of the year".
The number of new jobs created in the US has averaged 198,000 a month for 2014 - below last year's average of 260,000.
However, the unemployment rate held steady at 5.1%.
The jobless rate, which is derived from a separate survey of households, was unchanged only because 350,000 workers stopped looking for work last month and were no longer counted as part of the labour force.
The proportion of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one fell to a 38-year low, partly reflecting retirements of older workers from the baby boomer generation.
Average hourly wages fell by 1 cent to $25.09 during the month and were only 2.2% higher than the same month in 2014.
The data also knocked the dollar lower, with the pound rising 0.6% to $1.5238 after the numbers were released. Yields on government bonds also fell. | The US economy added just 142,000 jobs in September, lowering the chance of an interest rate rise this year. |

"But in the case of the anti-depressants it's just the opposite. These are even trickier pills likely to cause much more harm."
Dr Healy, director of the North Wales Department of Psychological Medicine, said doctors should not be afraid to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry.
"If I give you an anti-depressant for instance and things go wrong, I can always blame it on your illness rather than on the pill or anything that I've done," he said.
"We're well-paid people and you'd expect us to be able to stand up to a little bit of pressure that we get from industry if we say 'wait a minute here, we want the real data on these pills', but we haven't done that." | Farmers on Exmoor have warned they could lose their livelihoods if Britain pulls out of the European Union.

Landau won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1995 for portraying the horror movie star Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood.
He died on Saturday in Los Angeles of "unexpected complications" following a hospital visit.
Landau was born in New York and started out as a cartoonist for the New York Daily News before moving to theatre and then cinema acting.
He featured in the Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest and played a commander in Space: 1999 and Geppetto in a live-action version of The Adventures of Pinocchio.
But he turned down the role of Mr Spock in Star Trek, a role that went to his friend Leonard Nimoy instead.
And Nimoy later replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible when the latter left following a dispute over pay.
Many in Hollywood hit social media to pay tribute, including Star Trek actor William Shatner, who played the role of James T. Kirk.
Brent Spiner, best known for his portrayal of Lieutenant Commander Data in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, tweeted: "Great actor, Martin Landau leaves us at age 89. So glad the part of Lugosi came to him. He crushed it. RIP."
Stranger Things actor David Harbour wrote: "The great Martin Landau has died. Long time member of the actor's studio and brilliant craftsman in our tradition. I will miss his work."
Ralph Macchio, who played Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Kid series, praised Landau's performance in the 1989 comedy drama Crimes and Misdemeanours.
The film was written, directed by and co-starred Woody Allen and gave Landau his second Oscar nomination for best actor in a supporting role.

Summarize the content of the document below. | The Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (NEW Devon CCG) had proposed the plan to help cut a £14.5m deficit.
The Royal College of Surgeons, which was among the critics, said losing weight was not possible for some.
The CCG, which organises the delivery of health services, reversed the plan following feedback.
As part of cost-cutting measures announced in October, patients with a BMI of 35 or above would have had to shed 5% of their weight while smokers would have had to quit eight weeks before non-essential surgery.
What is morbid obesity?
On Thursday the CCG announced that it would not require patients to undergo weight loss or stop smoking.
Ben Bradshaw, former Labour health minister and MP for Exeter, welcomed the change of plan.
He said: "What we're talking about at the moment in Devon, and I think people need to understand this, is a wholesale rationing of healthcare in a way we've never seen in the NHS."
Dr Sarah Wollaston, chairman of the Health Select Committee and Conservative MP for Totnes, said: "These kinds of measures - if they are evidence-based and good for patients - then there is an argument for saying that we do them everywhere but that wasn't the reason this was being introduced."
A CCG spokesman said: "We announced a series of measures to improve health outcomes in October. This produced a helpful public debate which we have followed with interest.
"We have come to the conclusion that there is already a strong public acceptance of the need for people to continue to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing.
"We have therefore decided to further promote smoking cessation and weight loss services to improve outcomes for patients."

Summarize the information given below. | Neither of the companies confirmed the deal but Fujitsu said it was considering it as one of its options.
The firm said that since splitting off its PC business in February it was "considering various options, including what is being reported".
According to the Nikkei newspaper, the deal is to be reached this month.
Some 2,000 Fujitsu workers were likely to move to the world's biggest PC maker Lenovo, the newspaper said.
Fujitsu had initially been in talks with Toshiba and Sony spin-off Vaio for a merger of all three companies' computer businesses but the negotiations failed to reach an agreement.
The rising popularity of smartphones and tablets has for years been squeezing the demand for personal computers, making it harder for smaller manufacturers to survive.
Worldwide computer shipments in the second quarter this year shrank 4.5% from a year earlier to 62.4 million units.
Fujitsu accounted for just over 6% of those while global leader Lenovo made up 21.2%, followed by HP with 20.8% and Dell with 16% according to research company IDC.

Sjaak Rijke was seized by gunmen from a hotel in the city of Timbuktu, along with two other men.
French President Francois Hollande said that Mr Rijke had been found by chance in a dawn raid in northern Mali.
Mr Rijke is believed have been held by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and appeared in a video by the militants in November.
He was shown alongside French hostage Serge Lazarevic, who was freed in December after a prisoner swap.
The French defence ministry said that Mr Rijke has been transferred "safe and sound" early on Monday to a temporary base in Tessalit.
It added that a number of militants had been killed and others captured in the operation against AQIM militants.
Mr Rijke was said to be in a good condition considering the circumstances.
"This is fantastic news for Sjaak and his family. I'm happy and relieved that this terrible period of uncertainty and sadness has been brought to an end," said Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders.
The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that it seems that Mr Rijke was discovered by chance.

Constable Le Sueur-Rennard said she was bringing it to the attention of the chief minister at the first States sitting after the incident.
She said: "It was a distressing weekend as it was a young person who was there with a young family. I felt very bad because there was very little I could do."

He said: "I am extremely disappointed to hear what sounds like such a tragic and sad incident and I'm sure the sympathy of every member in this family goes out to them.

Ian Murray said he represented a constituency where 78% of voters backed Remain during last year's referendum.
And he said he would be "standing up for them in the Commons by voting against the triggering of Article 50".
The vote on the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill will be held on Tuesday evening.
The government is expected to win the vote with the backing of most Conservative and Labour MPs.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn faces a sizeable rebellion, with up to 30 of his party's MPs set to defy a three-line whip and vote against the government.
The SNP has tabled an amendment which would block the bill, and the Liberal Democrats will also oppose the government.
Its former leader, Alex Salmond, told the Commons debate on Tuesday afternoon that pro-Brexit politicians had been gripped by "mad MP disease" and were now taking "the entire country into the hole".
The former Scottish first minister said that triggering Article 50 was "politically crazy", and added that Britain would now be left in an "embarrassing" relationship with US President Donald Trump.
Confirming that he would join the SNP, Lib Dems and Labour rebels in voting against the legislation, Mr Murray - who quit as shadow Scottish secretary last year in protest against Mr Corbyn's leadership - said he not could support the "extreme hard Brexit that Theresa May is pursuing".
In a letter to constituents, he added: "I have signed all Labour's amendments to the bill so far, and I will support Labour amendments throughout the Brexit process, as parliament must do everything it can to get the best deal for Scotland and the UK - including safeguarding the rights of EU nationals to remain here.
"But I cannot vote for the extreme hard Brexit that Theresa May is pursuing, which risks damaging the economy of Edinburgh, Scotland and the entire UK.
"The Tories are threatening to inflict economic vandalism on our country."
Two shadow ministers have quit Labour's front bench in order to oppose the bill, while MPs Stephen Timms and Lyn Brown told the Commons they would also vote against it.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry defended the Labour leadership's stance, telling BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while the party believed in the EU, "we believe more strongly than anything else about democracy".
Although it will support the final vote on the bill, Labour will first try to amend it, including calling for a "meaningful vote" on the final Brexit deal.
"If Theresa May loses face because she has got the wrong deal that doesn't have the support of parliament - tough," Ms Thornberry added.
On Monday, politicians from both sides of the debate made impassioned speeches as they set out their arguments in the Commons.
The SNP's Stephen Gethins said passing the government's bill would be an "act of constitutional and economic sabotage".
He found an unlikely ally in former Conservative chancellor Ken Clarke, who described visions of the future set out by Brexiteers as a "wonderland" fantasy.
But the UK government's Brexit secretary, David Davis, told the debate that MPs would not be able to vote to block Brexit, telling them the "point of no return" had already passed.
He added: "This is not a bill about whether the UK should leave the EU or indeed how it should do it.
"It is simply about parliament empowering the government to implement a decision already made, a point of no return already passed.
"We asked the people of the UK if they wanted to leave the EU. They decided they did. So at the core of this Bill lies a very simple question.

Give a brief summary of the content. | German Shepherd Major worked for Staffordshire Police for six years.
Major is among finalists for the National Police Dog of the Year award after tackling a man who was firing an air pistol.
Major, aged eight, has given up his police duties and will live as a family pet with his handler, Pc Lance Stevenson.
Staffordshire Police said Major and his handler were deployed to Hanley in October after reports a man was firing a hand gun while walking towards Sneyd Green.
"Armed officers were on their way to the incident but because of the immediate threat to members of the public, Major was instructed to bring the man down," a police spokeswoman said.
"Without hesitation, police dog Major quickly ran towards the male as he reached for the gun. He took hold of his right upper arm, taking him to the ground."
Pc Stevenson was then able to disarm and arrest the man who later pleaded guilty to possession of a loaded air weapon in a public place, the spokeswoman added.
The force said like other police dogs, Major had undergone "robust training".
However, he will now put his paws up at Pc Stevenson's home, making way for the officer's new sidekick, Fonz, a two-year-old German Shepherd.
The officer also handles Seamus, an English springer spaniel trained in detecting explosives.
Pc Stevenson said: "Major has constantly proved to be a valuable asset to the force in the work that he has undertaken and has played his part in hundreds of arrests."
The winner of the National Police Dog of the Year, which is organised by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), is to be announced on 14 January.
He pleaded not guilty in court to embezzling 68m roubles (£880,000; $1.1m) of state funding awarded for a theatre project, officials said.
Serebrennikov is a vocal critic of censorship in the arts in Russia.
His ballet on the life and work of Rudolf Nureyev was pulled this year amid controversial circumstances.
The Bolshoi theatre argued the production was not ready for public performance but it was widely believed that the ballet was considered too risqué for contemporary, conservative Russia, reports the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow.
There may also have been concerns about staging a production linked to a figure known to be under investigation and facing criminal charges.
The director was charged after appearing in court on Tuesday. "He didn't admit guilt during questioning," said Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman for the investigative committee (SK), seen as similar to the American FBI.
Kirill Serebrennikov is director of the state-funded Gogol Centre and he was taken in for questioning after his flat was raided in May. The Gogol Centre was also searched, and two other theatre directors and an accountant were arrested.
The case has shaken Russia's arts world, where people fear it is a move meant to silence Serebrennikov. This has been denied by President Vladimir Putin.
At the centre of the case is funding awarded from 2011 to 2014 for a theatre project known as Platform, which aimed to make contemporary dance, music and theatre popular.
A former accountant who worked with Serebrennikov, Nina Masliayeva, has given evidence against him as part of a pre-trial deal with prosecutors. Two other theatre directors, Alexei Malobrodsky and Yuri Itin of Seventh Studio, have denied involvement.
If found guilty of embezzlement, Serebrennikov could face up to a decade in jail, Russian media report.
He has described the situation he faces as "absurd and schizophrenic". In a Facebook post in June, he appealed to supporters to prove that the funding had been spent on productions.
"It is particularly important to remember the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which we performed at Platform more than 15 times... It was nominated for all sorts of theatrical awards...

Summarize the passage below. | It sits inside a tube that can be fitted on top of a bottle and purifies water as it is poured on a cup.
The designer behind the filter, Dr Eugene Cloete, from the Stellenbosch University in South Africa, says the filter is only as big as an ordinary tea bag.
He says the product is cost-effective and easy to use.
"We are coming in here at the fraction of the cost of anything else that is currently on the market," says Dr Cloete on BBC World Service.
According to him the filter will not only stop harmful bacteria from getting into the water, it will also kill them.
"We cover the tea bag material with nano-structured fibres, and instead of tea inside the tea bag, we incorporate activated carbon.
"The function of the activated carbon is to remove most of the dangerous chemicals that you would find in water."
He says that the function of the fibres is to create a filter where harmful bacteria is physically filtered out and killed.
According to the World Health Organisation the number of people who can access clean drinking water has been improving steadily across the globe. But there are millions of people - many in Sub-Saharan Africa - who still do not have access to drinkable water.
The filter will also improve the taste of the water says Dr Cloete. "If you take ordinary tap water that you get in the city," he says, "that is chlorinated for instance."
But with the new filter, "the activated carbon will remove the chlorine so the water will actually taste better," he says.
Dr Cloete says his team wants to have an impact on 1.2 billion people around the world who do not have access to safe drinking water.
He says there have been extensive interest about the filter since the invention was announced.
"We have had many, many inquiries from aid organisations and from philanthropists who are quite prepared to sponsor these filters to people that need them most," he says.
But there are also commercial potentials, "for those people who go camping and those people who go hiking and so on," he adds.

St Andrews University academic Nathan Bailey, 34, admitted responsibility for the crash on the M9 that claimed the life of Ronald Highcock.
The 83-year-old died in hospital in May 2013, three weeks after the motorway collision near Bridge of Allan.
Bailey was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work and a one-year driving ban.
Mr Highcock and his wife were travelling home from their wedding anniversary dinner on 28 April when the crash happened near junction 10 of the dual carriageway.
Bailey's Renault Clio hit the side of Mr Highcock's Citroen Saxo, which was travelling at about 40-45mph, causing both cars to crash off the road and down an embankment.
Mr Highcock's car crashed head-on into a tree, and he had to be cut free by fire crews.
He managed to give a statement to police at Forth Valley Royal Hospital before he died, succumbing to chest injuries sustained in the crash and a secondary cause of heart disease on 20 May.
American citizen Bailey, of Dundee, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving at Stirling Sheriff Court.
Defence advocate Gavin Anderson submitted a number of defences of Bailey's character, including a letter from his professor at the university's school of biology describing him as "one of the leading researchers in the world" in his field.
Sheriff William Gilchrist said it was "clear" the crash had resulted from Bailey's failure to notice Mr Highcock's car was travelling on the motorway at "a slow rate".
He said: "This was clearly a tragic incident.
"Not only was it a tragedy for the deceased and his family, it is also clear that the accident has had a profound impact on you.
"I am satisfied this was a case of careless driving involving inattention and having regard to that, and your lack of record, and to your genuine remorse and your lack of aggravating factors I will impose a 12-month community payback order."

What is the summary of the following article? | During Prime Minister's Questions, the PM criticised Mr Corbyn's efforts during the EU referendum, telling him: "For heaven's sake man, go."
A challenge to Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership is expected following a no-confidence vote by MPs.
The Labour leader says quitting would betray all the members that back him.
Allies of Mr Corbyn, who has strong support among the party's members, have called on his critics to trigger a formal leadership contest.
Mr Corbyn's predecessor, Ed Miliband, has joined calls for him to quit, telling BBC Radio 4's The World at One his position was "untenable".
But former London mayor Ken Livingstone said Mr Corbyn would win any leadership contest and that people would be "appalled" at MPs trying to force out a leader elected by such a large margin.
The revolt among Labour MPs was triggered by the UK's vote to leave the European Union, after which Mr Cameron announced his resignation.
The PM said Mr Corbyn should "reflect on" his role in the campaign, adding: "He said he put his back into it, I would hate to see him when he wasn't trying."
Mr Corbyn, who like Mr Cameron had called for a Remain vote, pressed the PM on the economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, asking for reassurances about investment and calling for the government to relax its fiscal rules and hold off on further austerity measures.
"Our country is divided, so we must heal that division," he said.
"Our economy is fragile so we must begin to rebuild it.
"Our duty now is to move forward in a calm and conciliatory manner to build a new relationship with Europe and build a Britain that works for everyone in every part of this country."
The Labour leader also raised the reported rise in racist abuse following the vote to leave, calling for extra resources for communities targeted.
Mr Cameron condemned the attacks, pledging to "drive this appalling hate crime out of our country".
On the economy, the PM said there would be "some very choppy waters ahead", and targeted Mr Corbyn's leadership at the end of their exchanges.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The trio were trying to persuade the Surrey SW party to back a candidate from the National Health Action Party against Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The group include the local party secretary and a member for 46 years.
After telling the BBC they backed a "progressive alliance", a Labour spokesman said: "These individuals are no longer members of the Labour Party."
The three are Kate Townsend, secretary of the South West Surrey Labour Party, executive member Steve Williams, and Robert Park.
The trio believed National Health Action Party candidate Louise Irvine had a better chance of beating Mr Hunt in the seat than Labour's official candidate, David Black.
The Labour Party nationally has said it will have nothing to do with so-called "progressive alliances", which sees other parties standing aside to avoid splitting the anti-Tory vote.
But Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas has urged left and centre-left parties to get together to prevent "a massive Tory landslide".
Senior Lib Dems Sir Vince Cable and Sarah Olney were recorded suggesting their support for a Labour candidate - but leader Tim Farron slapped down the move, insisting there would be "no deal, no pacts, no coalitions".
Theresa May, meanwhile, has repeatedly warned that a vote for any party other than the Conservatives would be for a "weak and failing Jeremy Corbyn propped up by a coalition of chaos".
In SW Surrey, Kate Townsend told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday that it had been a difficult decision to back a rival candidate.
"It's not easy to not support Labour and it really is a hard decision to have to make, but what sort of long-term damage can we do in South West Surrey that doesn't already exist?" she said.
"We never win - we've never got any hope of winning - so we might as well fight to make it so that next time we vote, my vote actually matters."
Mr Williams added: "I've no doubt whatsoever that the majority of local Labour Party members in South West Surrey in the next election will be supporting Louise Irvine and people will be knocking on doors."
Announcing his suspension on Twitter, he said: "Expelled from Labour Party after 46 years of continuous membership for trying to unseat Jeremy Hunt. When will Labour get the wake-up call?"
Susan Ryland, the Greens' candidate for SW Surrey in 2015, said her party would not be fielding a candidate this time. "There's a clear consensus amongst campaigners in South West Surrey to stand a single progressive candidate against Jeremy Hunt.
"I'm pleased to announce that the local Green Party will be stepping aside and throwing our support behind Dr Louise Irvine."
But UKIP candidate Mark Webber said Mr Hunt's "massive" 28,500 majority is unassailable by the progressive alliance. "The left simply don't have much traction at all in that part of the country, even if they band together."
Labour said that under its rules, "a member of the party who joins and/or supports a political organisation other than an official Labour Group or unit of the Party or supports any candidate who stands against an official Labour candidate, or publicly declares their intent to stand against a Labour candidate, shall automatically be ineligible to be or remain a party member, subject to the provisions of part 6.I.2 of the disciplinary rules".
Following expulsion, the trio will also be ineligible to be readmitted to the party for at least five years, a spokesman said. | Three Labour activists who publicly opposed their own local candidate have been excluded from the party. |
