Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Centre Manu Tuilagi returns to the England bench as one of four new faces alongside Luke Cowan-Dickie, Kieran Brookes and Joe Launchbury.
Wales have made three changes among their replacements, with Paul James, Luke Charteris and Rhys Webb coming in.
Scrum-half Webb is poised for his first Test appearance of 2016, having missed the World Cup with a foot injury.
England: Brown, Watson, Joseph, Farrell, Nowell, Ford, Youngs; Marler, Hartley (capt), Cole, Itoje, Kruis, Robshaw, Haskell, Vunipola
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Vunipola, Brookes, Launchbury, Clifford, Care, Tuilagi, Daly
Wales: Williams, Cuthbert, Davies, Roberts, North, Biggar, Davies; Evans, Baldwin, Lee, Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Lydiate, Warburton (capt), Faletau
Replacements: Owens, James, Francis, Charteris, Tipuric, Webb, Priestland, Anscombe
BBC Sport's Eddie Butler: "The forecast is good, isn't it? Blue skies around, high cloud, no wind; low temperatures to cool fevered brows.
"What's that rumble then? That'll be the thunder of number eights. Taulupe Faletau and Billy Vunipola on full collision course. What are the chances of it being the biggest dummy run in the history of the Six Nations, the meeting that never was?
"Thunder turns into a rush of passing air, the seismic into the soft whir of a rugby pall being passed.
"Taulupe avoids Billy, and Billy stays out of Taulupe's way. And the ball goes about its business and stays visible. The chances of that happening? Slim.
"There's a storm coming. Batten down the hatches and take cover."
England head coach Eddie Jones: "We're a new England. We don't refer back to that game (the World Cup defeat against Wales).
"Seventy percent of our players are the same but we have a different philosophy of how we train, behave and play.
"We're in a good position for the game."
Wales head coach Warren Gatland: "I think both teams have got very strong defences. We pride ourselves on being able to play without the ball, and England are pretty good in that regard.
"We won't be throwing the ball all over the place, we will be pretty direct.
"We need to earn the right to go wide, and we've got players to get us across the advantage line, and hopefully when we do get across the advantage line we can play some pretty positive rugby."

TMO: Ben Skeen (New Zealand) | England and Wales have both named unchanged starting line-ups for Saturday's pivotal encounter. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Children's charity Barnardo's Cymru is raising awareness to mark International Missing Children's Day on Thursday.
Its report with Glyndŵr University last year said 80% of children deemed at significant risk of sexual exploitation had previously gone missing overnight.
The charity said it is a "hidden form of abuse".
Barnardo's Cymru's Missing Service in south Wales has four child sexual exploitation (CSE) and missing practitioners across the police force area.
They work with children and young people who have gone missing from home, even if they have only been away a few hours.
Together with the police they work to identify and help vulnerable children at risk of being targeted for child sexual exploitation through gangs and individual perpetrators.
Practitioner Sarah-Jane Davies said: "This is a particularly hidden form of abuse which can often happen within the context of relationships.
"Young people can be targeted online, at a party or elsewhere in the community.
"Often adults will target young people due to their vulnerabilities and look to employ grooming tactics which are designed to build a trusting relationship with the child for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
"Social media can compound the risks to young people. Many are unaware of the risks associated with sharing images and personal information online."
Ms Davies added: "Every young person has a different story and often it is difficult for them to tell it, particularly if they don't trust those around them.
"Many young people are unable to recognise that they have been groomed or exploited."
Awareness events have been held for Police Community Support Officers to be better equipped at identifying young people who are vulnerable or a victim of CSE.
NSPCC Cymru urged people to sign up to the Child Rescue Alert scheme to help find missing children as soon as possible.
Michael Luciano, 58, and Philip Luciano, 29, allegedly sold synthetic opioids fentanyl and oxycodone on AlphaBay before its closure.
The notorious site was targeted by investigators during an international operation earlier this year.
Authorities allege the Lucianos' drug sales date back to February last year.
AlphaBay was quietly taken over by agents earlier this year and later shut down.
The pair are said to have traded on AlphaBay using the pseudonym Zane61 and received positive reviews from some customers.
One allegedly wrote: "Fast shipping, great vendor. Good stealth, price, and A+ product."
It was the son, Philip, who allegedly "handled the technological aspects" of the transactions, including the purchase of bitcoins, according to investigators.
"Fentanyl is a societal scourge powerful enough to rob the lives of those who use in an instant," said Philip Bartlett of the US Postal Inspection Service.
"Today's arrest of this father and son should serve as a strong reminder the anonymity of the Dark Web can't always protect you from the long arm of the law."
At the time of AlphaBay's closure, Europol said the seized data would lead to new investigations into users of the marketplace.
The investigation into the Lucianos dates back to before AlphaBay's seizure by authorities, however.
Belfast City Council said the building, at the junction of University Street and Ormeau Road, was bulldozed as a safety measure.
They said work had already been going on at the site and that a front wall was knocked down to make the area safe.
The Ormeau Road has now reopened. | Twenty one children in Wales were considered to be potential victims of exploitation last year, according to National Crime Agency figures.

Provide a summary of the section below. | Shrien Dewani, 34, from Bristol, denies arranging his wife's murder in 2010. She was shot dead in a hijacked taxi.
Sneha Mashru told Western Cape High Court Mr Dewani was "very cold and controlling" after his wife's death.
Ms Mashru said Mr Dewani told her he had been pushed out of the taxi's back window during the hijacking.
Appearing at the court in Cape Town, Ms Mashru said Mr Dewani told her Anni wanted to see the townships but he was tired and wanted to go home.
"He told me that Anni told him 'don't be so boring', so they went."
Ms Mashru said she recorded a later conversation with Mr Dewani because "some of the things he said to me did not make sense".
"I did not think Anni would have wanted to go to the township. I also thought it was strange that a man like him could be pushed out a back window."
Ms Mashru told the court she stayed at Mr Dewani's home in Bristol when he returned.
"I felt very uncomfortable in that house. Shrien was acting very cold and controlling."
She said his behaviour was "not the way I thought someone would be while grieving for his wife".
"I also saw him eat a lot of food. He was eating normally. I had to force myself to get some kind of energy so it was strange to me that he could be so normal."
She told the court she thought it was "strange" Mr Dewani had the "whole funeral" arrangements on a spreadsheet.
Ms Mashru said on the day of Anni's funeral she wanted to do Anni's make-up "one last time" so she went to the funeral parlour with Anni's sister and Mr Dewani.
"Shrien was trying to squeeze the bangles on her. We said 'stop it' and he just dropped her arm.
"He put the mark on her forehead and then just left. I did not see the love. 'How could you not feel anything?' I thought."
The prosecution argues that Mr Dewani wanted out of his marriage and arranged a staged hijacking in which he escaped and Anni was killed.
The trial continues. | The cousin of Anni Dewani, who was killed while on honeymoon in South Africa, has told a court she was "suspicious" of Anni's husband. |
What is the summary of the following article? | As news of his demise trended across the world, videos spread of Cuban-Americans celebrating in Miami.
Several images showed a cigar-smoking skeleton being held aloft by crowds.
Internet use is extremely restricted in Cuba, but Castro supporters overseas took to Twitter to share their grief.
The Communist Party of Australia posted a black and white shot of the leader in his younger days, laughing with fellow revolutionary Che Guevara.
It sent "Peace, solidarity and love" to Cubans, adding - "his revolution lives on!"
South African social activist and TV producer Simamkele Dlakavu wrote a tribute under the hashtag #RIPFidelCastro, which featured many more positive takes on his life and work.
"Forever grateful for the role you played in the decolonial struggle in Africa," Ms Dlakavu said.

Havana-based journalist Yoani Sanchez shared a Cuban perspective. Writing in Spanish, she said ordinary Cubans were showing "indifference" to Castro's death.
"Some are fired with pain, others with relief... the vast majority with a touch of indifference," Ms Sanchez tweeted.
Adding her own view, she said Castro's legacy was "a country in ruin, a nation where young people do not want [to] live".
Anti-Castro Cubans were celebrating the loss of the long-ruling revolutionary.
Cristian Crespo, who describes himself as a Cuban dissident and calls Castro a "tyrant" in his Twitter bio, posted a picture of crumbling multi-storey buildings in Havana.
The caption read in Spanish: "This image is not 'Life After people or after humans', this is Havana #Cuba after 57 years of Communism... Without humanity!"
Many tweets hashtagged #Cuba, #Castro and #LittleHavana referred to Castro as a brutal leader who presided over human rights abuses, and persecuted Catholics and homosexuals.
Christophe Deloire, secretary general of the press freedom group Reporters Without Borders (RSF), called Castro a "predator" against journalistic freedom, saying he jailed journalists with impunity.
On Calle Ocho [Eighth Street] in Miami's Little Havana, thousands of people waved Cuban flags in the air, blared salsa music and banged pots in celebration throughout the night.
The party atmosphere drew widespread applause, and some criticism - though the city's mayor appeared to back it wholeheartedly.
Miami Herald reporter Joey Flechas tweeted a quote reportedly from Cuban-born Republican Tomas Regalado, calling Castro "a dictator".
Many Cuban Americans originally fled from Castro's Cuba after the revolution of 1959, seeking political asylum.
Some admitted on social media that their views on the socialist leader were inherited, deeply felt, and personal.
One Latina tweeter noted, "in THIS family, he was the worst!"
The 13-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries in the attack in Havant, Hampshire, but is now "critical, but stable", police said.
The condition of the other victim, 12, remains "serious, but stable".
A 43-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested at the scene of the stabbings, near the junction of Southleigh Road and Eastleigh Road.
The man is currently in custody.
Officers were called to the area by a member of the public just before 15:00 BST on Friday.
The children, who are from the local area, were victims of an "isolated incident", Hampshire Constabulary said.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and said there would be patrols across the weekend. | The death of Fidel Castro, former Cuban president and communist revolutionary, drew a fierce reaction online from those who loved and loathed him.

Write a brief summary of the document. | U's winger Brennan Dickenson drilled wide early on before the hosts took a 13th-minute lead when George Elokobi picked up possession 25 yards out and curled a superb shot over stranded Wycombe goalkeeper Jamal Blackman.
Colchester keeper Sam Walker twice denied Wycombe's Paris Cowan-Hall while Alex Jakubiak's low cross-shot flashed across the six-yard box as the Chairboys pushed for an equaliser.
Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa blasted over at the second attempt from close range just before half-time after his first effort was blocked.
Walker saved Akinfenwa's weak close-range header just after half-time and Elokobi made an acrobatic goal-line clearance to deny Cowan-Hall while at the other end, Blackman pushed Kurtis Guthrie's low attempt around the post midway through the second half.
Michael Harriman nodded Guthrie's header off the line and Wycombe defender Joe Jacobson was sent off with two minutes remaining after being shown a second yellow card as Colchester claimed victory.

Summarize the following piece. | The new Afghan president is expected to ask his American counterpart to keep more troops in his country for longer.
Mr Obama has promised to end America's longest war by the end of his term, leaving only a small force to protect the US embassy.
It is believed Mr Obama will announce his troop decision later today.
The leaders will discuss troop numbers over a working lunch and in meetings, before taking questions during a press conference later this afternoon.
Originally, officials planned to cut the US troop presence to 5,500 by the end of 2015.
But with the prospect of a tough spring fighting season on the horizon, Islamic State militants trying to recruit on Afghan soil and other security concerns, officials are predicting the US will probably leave 9,800 American troops in the country long into next year.
US bases in Jalalabad and Kandahar, the Taliban capital until 2001, are central to the discussions.
President Ghani has requested that those bases remain open as long as possible, and US officials appear to be warm to that idea.
The lunch and meetings come just as gunmen killed at least 13 people in eastern Afghanistan overnight and, separately, a suspected US drone strike near the Afghan-Pakistani border killed nine militants.
However, Mr Ghani's presidency is a welcome change in the eyes of the White House, whose relationship with his predecessor grew increasingly strained in recent years.
When he assumed office, Mr Ghani, who lived in the US for more than a decade, almost immediately signed a security deal with American officials to keep US troops in the country beyond 2014.
The refusal of the previous Afghan administration, led by Hami Karzai, to sign the agreement generated consternation at the White House.
By contrast, Mr Ghani has made clear his appreciation for US support, which has included more than $60bn (£40.37bn) being invested in his country's military so far.
"We do not now ask what the United States can do for us," President Ghani said as he opened his US visit, invoking a quote by former US President John F Kennedy. "We want to say what Afghanistan will do for itself and for the world."
After a controversial election with disputed results, President Ghani agreed to share power with his main political rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who has taken the title of Chief Executive Officer of the country.
Six months into their term, the two leaders have made the trip to the US together in an effort to project unity, despite being unable to build a full cabinet.
In a ceremony at the Pentagon on Monday, Mr Ghani paid tribute to US soldiers who had fought in Afghanistan and thanked the US for its support.
"Each one of you has left a legacy," he said, noting that more than 2,200 Americans lost their lives and 20,000 were wounded in the conflict. | Afghan president Ashraf Ghani is meeting President Obama to discuss the pace of the US troop withdrawal from his country. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | The 27-year-old former South Africa Under-20 international is the 11th new signing the Falcons have made ahead of the upcoming Premiership season.
Cooper is expected to join up with the squad in August for pre-season.
"We are delighted to have tied up a deal for Kyle, who has vast experience at a high level," said director of rugby Dean Richards.
"He is a quality player and his arrival gives us significant competition for places at hooker along with the likes of Scott Lawson, Ben Sowrey, Santiago Socino and David Nelson."
Cooper added: "I love the physical game that Newcastle play. Since I was a boy I have admired the physical style of the Premiership and I will enjoy being a part of a competition I have always loved watching."
The Queenie Festival, which takes its name from the Queen Scallop, has been running since 2008 and is centred around the Alfred Pier in Port St Mary.
Organiser James James said: "The event aims to bring together people with an interest in marine life."
It is held in the fishing village of Port St Mary and involves water sports, cookery demonstrations and live music.
James Gale said the festival brings the whole community together "whether you are a fisherman, wildlife enthusiast or just someone who enjoys living near the sea".
He added: "The emphasis is on having fun while learning how to preserve our rich marine heritage."
The Queen Scallop is one of the Isle of Man's most popular exports which in 2012 was awarded the European Union Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) stamp.
It meant the scallop joined foods such as Gorgonzola and Champagne.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Pretty much all of the tech giants attend the vast Vegas expo - either to unveil new products or to clinch deals behind the scene.
But in recent years it's been start-ups that have had many of the most eye-arresting and sensational reveals.
There are more at this year's show than ever before, thanks in part to crowdfunding. They now have to convince retailers - hunting through the halls for the next bestsellers - that the promise of their concept videos has been delivered upon.
Dozens of start-ups are also there thanks to help from governments and other national bodies - France, Israel, Ukraine and the Netherlands all have stands where they'll fly the flag for local talent.
But China may make the biggest splash with more than 1,300 registered exhibitors.
"Every year at CES I meet the people who work on the technology that affects our lives and you can see literally every part of the tech industry represented," innovation evangelist Robert Scoble told the BBC.
Of course, there's a lot of crud too - the challenge is to distinguish the potential hits from the glitch-ridden flops.
Below, we have picked what could be some of the week's highlights:
CES marks the beginning of a land grab by three of the leading virtual assistants: Amazon's Alexa, Microsoft's Cortana and the Google Assistant.
The companies all want their voice-controlled AIs to power third-party products. And Amazon looks to have the head start.
The headphones specialist OnVocal will be showing off wireless earphones that link up to Alexa, and GE has also preannounced a table lamp that doubles as a speaker powered by Amazon's voice service. Sonos too aims to add the facility to its wireless speakers, though we believe it isn't quite ready to show off its efforts.
But don't count the other two out.
We know Microsoft is working with Harman Kardon on a "premium audio" speaker, and the firm has teased adding Cortana to other types of products, including toasters. And Google has secured at least one bit of kit at CES - the Aviva speaker - to host its cloud-based intelligence.
One expert suggested others will also try to gatecrash the party.
It's not all about voice though.
The French start-up Bixi will be making the case for gesture controls. It will be demoing the final design of a gizmo that lets you control smartphones and tablets with a wave of a hand.
More groundbreaking perhaps is the Blitab, a tactile tablet described as the iPad for the blind.
The Austrian innovation produces small physical bubbles in an area above its touchscreen which delivers refresh double lines of dynamic Braille.
We're still decades away from having the type of androids seen on TV shows such as Westworld or Humans.
But CES is still an opportunity to see how far along more specialised kit has become.
London-based Emotech is one to watch.
It will unveil Olly - a tabletop bot with its own smart assistant that recognises different household members and adapts it personality to suit each one.
The project was developed with help from academics at University College London, Imperial College and Edinburgh University, and has already secured $10m (£8.2m) of investment from China.
There will also be a range of modular robots.
Several companies are backing the concept, which allows users to switch about parts to change skills and manoeuvrability.
Examples will include Modi, a Lego-style kit that lets owners build a bot out of small cubes - each offering different functions such as motors, lights and infra-red detectors.
Another is Unibot, a robotic vacuum cleaner that trebles up as a mobile home security camera and an air purifier/humidifier.
Meanwhile, OAPs can look forward to Cutii, a robot that resembles an iPad on wheels, which will supposedly become their "companion".
And there will also be bots that zoom round tennis courts picking up balls, remove droppings from cat litter, and even move physical chess pieces around a board.
Keep an eye out for Laundroid, too. The Japanese clothes-folding machine raised $60m from Panasonic and others for its giant clothes-folding droid following an appearance at last year's CES.
Some have described the idea as ridiculous.
But it will be interesting to see if it works well enough to go on sale later this year, as planned.
Health and wearables
Pregnancy seems to be one of health tech's preoccupations this year.
There is both Ava, a sensor-equipped wristband that apparently alerts women to when they are most fertile, and Trakfertility, a DIY sperm count test that tells an associated app what steps the owner should take to boost their numbers.
And just in case you are tempted to pair off with the wrong partner, Milo Sensors is in town with what it describes as the world's first blood alcohol wearable.
It's easy to joke, but health tech is booming and analysts are competing to predict how many billions of pounds it will be worth in a decade's time.
The ultimate goal is to create something resembling Star Trek's Tricoder - an all-in-one device that diagnoses any ailment.
An Israeli start-up will be showing off a gadget that promises to get us at least partly there.
The TytoHome is designed to let families take heart, lungs, throat, abdomen and other organs' readings and send them to their clinicians. Its slogan is a "check-up without the check-in", but medics may need convincing.
There will doubtless be new twists on the fitness tracker too. It would be unwise to suggest the market for such devices has peaked - Fitbit's app topped Apple's App Store this Christmas, indicating people are still buying them in droves.
But a more intriguing development is wearables with built-in airbags.
ActiveProtective is promising to show off a prototype smart belt for the elderly that triggers a cushioning action over their hips if it detects a fall.
And Inemotion has developed ski racing clothes with a similar function to prevent injuries on the piste.
France's Wair has a different spin on discreet wearable tech with a internet-connected scarf that doubles as an air filter.
But the question remains whether wearable tech has a profitable future beyond health.
There will be more app-laden smartwatches - including the possibility of the first Android Wear 2.0 devices - at the show, but the sector has not been the hit many had predicted.
We're also promised the world's first vibrating tight cut jeans that offer their wearers directions without having to look at a screen.
If you had asked the experts a decade ago, they would probably have predicted OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TVs would be the norm by now. But the tech has faced several setbacks.
It's stubbornly refused to become as cheap to manufacture as hoped, it doesn't go as bright as LED equivalents and some complain that it "crushes the blacks" making it hard to distinguish detail in the shadows.
Even so, OLED retains a wow factor thanks to its ability to control the light of each individual pixel, helping its images to have more "pop", and its screens to be ever thinner.
Panasonic has hinted it will show off an OLED display at CES that will better handle dim scenes, and there is speculation Sony has similar news.
Plus there's reason to believe prices are about to drop.
Until recently, LG manufactured all the OLED panels used by itself and other brands. But now BOE - a Chinese company - has a rival component. The question is who will break ranks to adopt it.
Expect Samsung to make a loud noise about QLED, a new spin on its "quantum dot" technology that allows its screens to be brighter than ever before.
That's important because of HDR - another acronym you're going to have to get used to. It refers to high dynamic range, which allows images to appear more vibrant and detailed - especially in scenes containing both glints of light and shadows.
The problem is that there are three rival HDR standards - HDR10, Dolby Vision and the BBC's forthcoming HLG - meaning the potential for another format war.
But it is possible to support all three, so it will be revealing to see if any of manufactures make a commitment to do so with their new screens.
It's now relatively cheap and power-efficient to add sensors and wireless data links to products. That's led to an explosion of ideas - some more sensible than others.
It's debateable how many of us really need Genican, for example, a device that scans rubbish's barcodes as it is thrown away in order to build up a shopping list of replacement items.
Likewise, it's not clear whether an aromatherapy diffuser needs to be smartphone-controlled, even if its scents really boost memory and clean lungs, as claimed.
Where things get more interesting is when tech genuinely makes lives simpler without requiring too much effort.
One way firms are trying to do this is by focusing on the refrigerator.
LG has a model that activates a sterilisation process when it senses temperature and/or humidity issues in order to extend food's shelf life.
And for those who would prefer to retrofit their existing equipment, UK start-up Smarter Applications has Fridgecam: a device that keeps track of what its owners have in stock and when it expires, sending alerts to buy new items when necessary.
But one expert says if the sector is to achieve its potential, consumers need to be reassured that the risks do not outweigh the benefits.
"In the last 18 months the conversation about security and privacy has moved from the tech pages to the front pages of newspapers," said John Curran from the consultancy Accenture.
"To make these devices easy to connect and easy to use, some companies have hardcoded passwords or put no security measures in place, and that made them an easy target.
"At CES we're looking for businesses to be more transparent about what data is being collected, how it's being used and with whom it's being shared.
"And they need to make it easier for consumers to adjust their security settings."
There are rumours that HTC will unveil a second-generation Vive VR headset at CES - possibly introducing wireless capabilities - but the system is only nine months old, so that seems a tad optimistic.
The two other big virtual reality firms - Sony and Facebook's Oculus division - launched their kit even more recently.
Even so, there should still be lots of developments.
Huawei has just hired Steve LaValle, one of the brains behind Oculus, and the Chinese firm is set to reveal more about its VR plans at the show.
It's a safe bet that several third-party headsets previously teased by Microsoft will also be on display.
And we will also see the introduction of Fove, a crowdfunded VR headset with eye-tracking abilities, allowing gamers to control action with shifts in their gaze.
Fove won't be the only one trying to offer new ways for users to interact with virtual experiences.
A foot controller that lets you direct where your character walks, a sensor-laden T-shirt that tracks your torso's movements, and various haptic devices that try to let consumers feel virtual objects are just some of the products with CES stands.
With augmented reality - where graphics and real-world views are mixed together - things are still at an early stage.
But Asus and others may reveal handsets that include Google's Project Tango depth-sensing technology, adding basic AR capabilities.
Intel will have more to say about Project Alloy - a headset that lets you see your hands and other real-world objects within VR worlds.
And a start-up called Occipital will demo a contraption that uses an iPhone to create something akin to Microsoft's HoloLens mixed-reality headset.
While hardware may dominate the headlines, it could be content that determines which products are winners.
"In the US the National Basketball Association recently announced that it will broadcast games in virtual reality," noted Mr Curran.
"And as other big media and content companies get involved, they will attract more types of consumers to VR, rather than just the tech-enthused.

There's going to be a lot of talk and demos of self-driving cars by the big automakers on and off the Las Vegas strip.
Menawhile, rival chipmakers - including Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm - will be excitedly pitching their processors and 5G chips as the potential heart of the autonomous vehicle revolution.
But you'll have to wait for a future CES to find anything road-ready that allows the "driver" to really ignore the steering wheel.
This time round, look instead for new ways to interact with your vehicle.
BMW will unveil its HoloActiv Touch system, in which motorists use finger gestures to interact with graphics that project out of dashboard screens.
And Continental will demo facial recognition tech that recognises who is driving and adjusts mirror and seat positions accordingly.
Faraday Future is also back for a second year to convince sceptics that it can launch an electric car before its funds dry up.
There will also be all kinds of alternative transport ideas including an intelligent scooter that shuts off its power if it detects an accident, a motorised rideable suitcase and the latest evolutions of the hoverboard.
And we've still barely scratched the surface. There are zones dedicated to drones, beauty tech and 3D printing.
Plus there's room for oddities, such as a device that claims to be able to record smells.

Can you summarize this content? | United Utilities said it has to close an existing badly-damaged sewer and create a new 130m stretch of sewer on Mancunian Way.
Manchester City Council said it is trying to minimise the disruption.
The second hole opened last month near to work fixing a road collapse caused by heavy rainfall in August.
Tony Griffiths, area manager for United Utilities, said it hoped to repair the sewer but had found the damage was greater than expected.
He also said that the geological problems had added to the company's difficulties.
Mr Griffiths said sealing off the old sewer - built in the 1920s - digging the first new tunnel in Manchester for many years had doubled the repair bill to £4m.
"It is not just a significant piece of civil engineering, it is also a significant cost," he added.
Councillor Kate Chappell (Labour), who is responsible for highways on Manchester City Council, said: "It is going to take until the New Year but the most important thing for ourselves and United Utilities is to make sure it is going to be the fix for the next generation."
The work would create disruption during the run-up to Christmas but she added the council was delaying some roadworks until the New Year and has brought other works forward to open new routes.
Repairs to the first hole, which was 15ft (4.5m), were being carried out by United Utilities and Manchester City Council.
The victim suffered serious facial injuries in the incident in the Moray town's High Street on the night of Saturday 19 November last year.
Det Con Scott Mackay said: "Identification is required for the three men depicted.
"I would appeal to anyone who has any knowledge of this incident to come forward."
Police in south Georgia said the woman, whose identity has not been released, was struck after the crew for Midnight Rider placed a bed on the railway tracks in Doctortown.
Wayne County Sheriff John Carter said several other people had been injured, two of them seriously.
The crew were testing cameras for a dream sequence, according to The Wrap.
Midnight Rider, which is directed by Randall Miller, stars Tyson Ritter and William Hurt as younger and older versions of the Allman Brothers Band frontman, Gregg.
None of the cast are believed to have been among the 20 people on set at the time of the accident, as filming was not officially scheduled to begin until Monday. However, Miller is understood to have been present.
An eyewitness told Variety that, although the crew were expecting two local trains, a third had arrived unexpectedly. A warning whistle was blown, but they had less than a minute to react.
As the crew rushed off the tracks, Miller and a photographer scrambled to remove the bed. Miller fell and had to be pulled to safety, according to the witness.
They said the train then hit the bed which "exploded". The debris struck and killed a second camera assistant.
Rail company CSX said it was "cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate."
"Initial reports indicate that at least three people were injured, one fatally," said a statement.
"CSX personnel are working with first responders to meet the needs of those injured. A train was en route from Memphis to Savannah when the incident occurred." | A new sewer needs to be dug under one of Manchester's busiest roads as part of repairs on two holes which have opened in two months.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | But a spokesman said they stood by their demand for an end to air strikes and blockades before they will negotiate with the Syrian government.
Their delegation is due to meet UN envoy Staffan de Mistura on Sunday.
More than 250,000 people have died and 11 million have fled their homes in almost five years of war in Syria.
The Syrian civil war has also been the biggest driver behind Europe's migration crisis.
On Saturday, at least 39 migrants, among them children, drowned in the Aegean Sea while trying to cross from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos.
What hope for the talks?
International system has failed Syria
The story of the conflict
The Saudi-backed opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) finally agreed late on Friday night that they would come to the talks in Geneva - hours after the Syrian government delegation had already arrived and held preliminary talks with Mr Mistura.
Who is attending? Delegates from the Syrian government and the main opposition bloc, the High Negotiations Committee (HNC). Other opposition figures have been invited as advisers.
Who is not attending? Syrian Kurdish group the PYD (regarded by Turkey as a terror group); so-called Islamic State (IS); al-Nusra Front.
What is being discussed? A possible ceasefire; release of prisoners; aid deliveries to the worst-hit areas; the threat from IS.
Upon his arrival in Geneva, HNC spokesman Salim Muslet said they wanted the release of women and children from government jails, the end to air strikes and aid to be allowed into besieged towns - but that they were not a precondition of talks.
"We're always optimistic but the problem is we're facing a dictatorship there in Syria. Really, if he's willing to solve these problems, we wouldn't have seen these crimes in Syria, these massacres," he told reporters.
But Riad Hijab, the head of the HNC who is not in Geneva, warned in an online post that the delegation's presence "will not be justified" if the Syrian government continues to "commit these crimes".
The so-called proximity talks are expected to last six months, with delegations sitting in separate rooms and UN officials shuttling between them.
The immediate priorities of the talks are:
But the ultimate aim is a peace settlement that includes a transitional period ending with elections, in line with a UN Security Council resolution approved last month.
The last talks aimed at ending the conflict broke down in February 2014 after only two rounds. The UN blamed the government for refusing to discuss an opposition demand for Mr Assad to step down.
Despite little sign of a change in that stance, the rise of the IS group prompted the US and Russia to step up their efforts to get the warring parties back to the negotiating table.
Mr de Mistura, in a video message to the Syrian people on Thursday, said the talks could be the last chance for peace and must not be allowed to fail.
The 27-year-old daughter of designer Pearl Lowe and Bush singer Gavin Rossdale said she was "so looking forward to learning a new skill".
"My family and friends and I adore Strictly, so when the chance came up to take part I jumped at it," she said.
Lowe, who was discovered when she was 15, is the eighth celebrity to be confirmed for this year's line-up.
She will join Ed Balls, Danny Mac, Melvin Odoom, Louise Redknapp, Ore Oduba, Laura Whitmore and Will Young on the dance floor when the BBC One show returns next month.
Mac, who played Dodger Savage on Channel 4's Hollyoaks, was added to the line-up on Tuesday, following the confirmation of Redknapp's involvement the previous day.
Lowe said she was "used to being on the catwalk and campaigns of major fashion brands" but said Strictly was "completely different" from anything she had done before.
The model - who is no relation to Strictly professional dancer Natalie Lowe - has modelled for brands like Chanel and has appeared on catwalks in London, Milan and New York.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The army has not given further details. However, some junior officers told the BBC that the argument was over a mobile phone.
Media reports say the soldier was told off for using a phone while on duty, and the device was confiscated.
Officials told the BBC that police and the army were investigating further.
The incident comes amid concerns about morale in the armed forces.
Earlier this year, India ordered an investigation after a soldier's video complaining about the quality of food went viral.
The army also came under fire for tying a man to the front of an army vehicle and using him as a human shield during polling in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The officer in charge at the time was later rewarded, which some analysts saw as a move to boost flagging morale among troops there.
Indian army sources have told the BBC that morale among soldiers stationed in the Kashmir valley is very low. Many soldiers are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with their role in the region, saying they fear they are effectively becoming an army of occupation.

Summarize the passage below. | John Brown, 60, denies five counts of indecent assault against two girls under the ages of 13 and 16 at various locations and times in the 1970s.
An alleged victim told Harrow Crown Court that Dana Rosemary Scallon knew of the claims for more than 30 years.
She alleged the former singer and Irish MEP had said she would pray for her.
On the third day of the trial, the court heard that the witness claimed she was molested by Mr Brown, of Bracknell, Berkshire, when she was a child.
She said Dana, now Dana Scallon, made the comments about praying for her as she tried to dampen publicity around the alleged scandal during her Irish presidential election campaign.
The court heard that after family members became aware of the allegations, Mr Brown sought help from a priest and had to "eat well, sleep well and watch for the signs" to control his sexual urges towards children.
While running for the presidency in Ireland in 2011, his sister, Dana, denied any knowledge of the allegations during a television interview with Irish channel TV3 and spoke by telephone to one of the alleged victims shortly before the allegations made national headlines in the country.
The alleged victim claimed Mr Brown, who was part of Dana's 2011 election campaign team, touched her inappropriately on four occasions both in the UK and United States in the 1970s and said she was furious that the allegations were being refuted by Dana.
Speaking about the phone call she had with Dana about October 2011, she said: "I was angry because she had known all along.
"I felt bad about it [the television interview]. Dana said she didn't recall anything of it, but I said 'yes you do, you're my spiritual guide and you always knew'.
"That pretty much ended the conversation. She just said she would pray for me."
The court also heard evidence from the mother of the alleged victim, who said she had confronted Mr Brown after being told about the abuse when her daughter was 10 or 11 years old during a visit by him to the United States.
She said Mr Brown denied it but she told him to leave.
The alleged victim's mother spoke on the phone to Dana, who said she would collect Mr Brown in the UK and organise some treatment for him, the court heard.
"She said when he got home she would meet him, talk with him and work with him from that side," the witness said.
"She mentioned she knew someone who could talk to him - it was my understanding it was a priest."
The alleged victim and her family claim they then did not hear from Mr Brown for more than two years, but eventually met him again after Dana claimed her brother had been "cured".
The mother told the court: "John and Dana told me that the person he was seeing had died, but that he was healed and God had forgiven him and it was time for me to as well."
The prosecution alleged that Mr Brown went on to reoffend at a further visit to the family when the girl was aged 13 or 14.
Earlier, it was put to the alleged victim that the case was a lie created to support her defamation proceedings against Dana over her television interview, in which the singer claimed the allegations were "vile and malicious lies".
A defence lawyer said: "I'm suggesting to you these allegations are not true and that the only reason you came to the police in this country is you have very little option to do otherwise as, because of all of this publicity, the defamation claim is never going to succeed in the absence of a criminal conviction in the UK."
The victim denied the suggestion, and said: "No. It seems like an awful lot of planning for something that is so hurtful."

Summarize this article briefly. | It alleges that Apple made "false, misleading, or deceptive representations" about consumers' rights under Australian law.
The case follows complaints that users were "routinely refused" repairs after an error disabled their devices.
Apple did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began an investigation after users complained about Apple's so-called "error 53", which disabled some users' devices after they downloaded an update to their operating system.
Many had previously had their device fixed by a third party, not an official Apple technician, often to replace a cracked screen.
In many cases, Apple refused to fix the devices, even when the repair was unrelated to the fault, the ACCC said.
The proceedings against Apple were brought on behalf of 275 consumers.
ACCC chairman Rod Sims said: "Consumer guarantee rights under the Australian Consumer Law exist independently of any manufacturer's warranty and are not extinguished simply because a consumer has goods repaired by a third party."
He added: "Denying a consumer their consumer guarantee rights simply because they had chosen a third party repairer not only impacts those consumers but can dissuade other customers from making informed choices about their repair options including where they may be offered at lower cost than the manufacturer."
He also reminded businesses that consumer rights extended to "any software or software updates" loaded onto those goods.
Breaches of Australian Consumer Law can result in fines of up to A$1.1m (£667,000).
In February 2016, Apple apologised over similar claims and issued a fix for error 53.
Some users found that their iPhone stopped working following servicing by a non-Apple technician and saw an "error 53" message in iTunes.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Extra police, army, and now judges have been drafted into the region.
Pressed by Hungarian TV2 on whether he would declare an emergency, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban replied: "If you want to place a bet on it, I would say go ahead."
He also said that Hungary had so far spent €200m (£147m; $226m) to handle the refugee crisis, and had only received €4m from the European Union.
"Boards will be placed along the border which state clearly what people should do if they want to enter Hungary legally. They can then go to official crossing points and fill in the papers," Mr Orban said.
They will be asked if they applied for asylum in Serbia.
"As we regard Serbia as a safe country, if they did not apply for asylum there, their request for asylum in Hungary will be rejected," the prime minister added.
Private conversations with Hungarian officials suggest only a few dozen, at most a few hundred asylum applications, will be accepted each year.
In 2014, Hungary granted asylum to 260 people and protected status to a similar number out of 43,000 applicants.
Most applicants abandoned their claims and carried on to Western Europe.
Since the start of September, 35,000 migrants have been registered by the police, bringing the total to more than 200,000 for the year.
Aid workers in the past days have been mainly treating blisters and leg injuries, as people rushed up through the Balkans without rest to reach Hungary by Monday night.
Thirty judges have been put on standby to rule in cases of asylum seekers who illegally cross the Serbian border into Hungary. Another 50 will be drafted in from other parts of the country.
All criminal cases in the city of Szeged, 14km from the border at Roszke, have been suspended until further notice.
The ground floor of the county court and another building currently used by the refugee authorities have been made available.
The moves are the latest in Viktor Orban's response to the migrant crisis.
With or without the state of emergency, recent amendments to the penal code make both illegal border-crossing and damaging the new fence a criminal offence, which can be punished with jail sentences of up to three years.
In the corridors of the county court in Szeged, however, judges suggest they intend to expel asylum seekers from Hungary, rather than imprison them in already overcrowded jails.
How refugees will react to the Hungarian clampdown is hard to gauge.
"Please don't stop us," said Saad, from Aleppo, one of the last to cross safely into Hungary on Monday, before the railway track was blocked.
"We are not going to stay here, we are going to go all over the world. We are dying there (in Syria), we are dying everywhere."
He spent a week in the same hotel with three-year-old Alan Kurdi and his family, he said. And wept when he saw the pictures of the drowned child.
As darkness fell on Monday night, a locomotive and a single wagon unloaded coils of razor wire on the barrier across the railway, and those migrants who were unable to cross set out on the 12km walk to Kiralyhalom, the next border crossing point.
The previous day, I drove the same section, and counted 17 points at which the fence had been breached.
If the fence does prove too difficult to cross, many people may loop round to cross through Hungary's still almost unguarded borders with Romania (450km) or Croatia (350km).
On Monday, an Austrian judge refused to deport an Afghan woman on the grounds that Hungary "is no longer a safe place for refugees". | Hungary has sealed the last gaps in its new border fence to migrants, and the authorities will decide later on whether to declare a state of emergency along the border with Serbia. |
Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | The Liberal Democrat AM voted with Plaid Cymru against Article 50 despite the Labour group opposing the motion.
Mr Davies suggested some Labour AMs were "sore" over the Senedd vote.
Mr Jones's spokesman said it was recognised the Lib Dems were in a different position on the matter.
Article 50 of the European Union Lisbon treaty is the trigger that would allow UK ministers to start the process to leave the EU.
The UK government wants to set Article 50 in motion by the end of March.
Mr Davies himself campaigned for Vote Leave at the referendum last year - his group joined Labour and UKIP in voting against the Plaid Cymru proposal in the Senedd on Tuesday.
Only 10 AMs supported the motion to oppose Article 50 being triggered without assurances over the single market, versus 46 against.
The vote if passed would have been advisory and would not have affected the process.
Mr Davies questioned whether collective responsibility - the principle that ministers should always support the government - had been lifted in the Labour-led Welsh Government for the Lib Dem minister.
He told BBC Wales he had no issue with how Ms Williams voted, but questioned how he "could have her continuing in his cabinet".
"I want to know from the first minister, is he going to allow that to stand, or is he going to sack Kirsty Williams?"
"I think the question needs to be asked, was collective responsibility the order of the day yesterday, or had he lifted that," he said.
"In which case, if he lifted it for Kirsty Williams, I know of several Labour backbenchers who would have voted differently if they didn't have the whip imposed on them.
"It seems one rule for Labour backbenchers, another rule for Kirsty Williams".
Mr Davies, who said he spoke to three Labour backbenchers, said they had "expressed soreness to me because obviously they had an emergency group meeting last Wednesday where this was discussed".
"They were led to believe it was the government position and lo and behold after the vote they found that a member of that government, a Lib Dem admittedly, voted against the will of the government," he said.
Mr Davies said it showed Mr Jones was a "very weak first minister", and added that if a member of the government was allowed to vote in a different way to Labour backbenchers "that shows a causal, at best, disregard for the role of government and collective responsibility and that really poses questions on some of the big issues like the M4 relief road".
Because of a Supreme Court judgement the power to start the Article 50 process has to be given to UK ministers through legislation passed by MPs - legislation that is currently progressing through Parliament.
A vote last week on the bill saw seven Welsh Labour members of parliament rebelling against the Labour whip, which obliged the party to support the proposal.
No such rebellion took place in the Senedd.
A spokesman for Mr Jones said: "We recognise that the Liberal Democrats are in a different position on this specific matter."
He added: "Our priority is to secure maximum support for our white paper, Securing Wales' Future, and that is what we have achieved."
A Labour group spokesman declined to comment on Mr Davies's comments about the views of backbenchers.

Summarize the following content briefly. | Transport campaigners say there should be one national system so rail travellers can find items easily.
Passenger group, Transport Focus, says having so many unique systems across the network is not customer friendly.
The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail, said storage costs can vary.
Train-operating companies and rail stations across the UK charge different fees to re-unite passengers with their lost property, with some using private companies to run their lost property service.
Operators typically charge up to £25 depending on the item, but the maximum permitted under their franchise agreements is £30.
There are now calls for a single, central system so that passengers know how to get their property back, wherever it was lost, and exactly how much they can expect to pay.
Dervish Mertcan, from Transport Focus, said there was a need to "build trust" between operators and passengers.
"There are over 20 train companies and no centralised database," he said. "Some train companies don't even run their own lost property service so you have contact the outsourced company.
"I think the inconsistency in the service they receive is annoying for passengers. A properly run, centralised system that allows passengers to find out for themselves if their property has been found would be of huge benefit and would help deliver a better service for passengers."
Abellio Greater Anglia charges up to £25 but gives people 24 hours to come forward before imposing the fee. A spokesman said: "There is no charge for collection of lost property if it is found and collected by the owner within 24 hours. Fees for the retrieval of lost property were set within guidelines agreed by all operators. Fees cover the cost of operating the lost property service; it is not a profit-making operation."
Arriva Trains Wales, which charges between £2 and £25, stressed it did not make any profit from the cost of storing and returning lost property, saying: "[The charges] do not even cover the admin of the service as so much lost property goes unclaimed."
Virgin Trains and CrossCountry hand over lost property to rail stations. South West Trains charges between £2 and £20 to recover items but also puts on storage a fee of £1 for electrical items and 50p for all others per 24 hours.
East Midlands Trains have scrapped lost property fees altogether.
The Excess Baggage Company runs the lost property service for Southern Rail, Network Rail stations as well as Gatwick and Luton Airports. Its charges range from £3 for a left umbrella or keys to £20 for expensive goods such as laptop computers and video cameras.
The company says: "Our charges for the handling of lost property are those prescribed by the Association of Train Operating Companies and as such are endorsed by the Department for Transport."
£20
Laptop computers/video cameras
£10 Mobiles, pagers, handheld computers, personal organisers or compact CD players
£5 Jewellery, watches, cameras, cycles, clothes, suitcases, rucksacks, briefcases, filofaxes, musical instruments, skis, surfboards
£3 Umbrellas, gloves, scarves, hats, spectacles, keys, books, prams, pushchairs
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group said: "Train operators will do everything they reasonably can to take care of luggage, articles, animals or cycles that have been left on trains or at stations.
"As a condition of their franchise, train companies are required to maintain a lost property process. The costs of storing valuable items such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones as well as more everyday items can vary."
They are not allowed to charge more than £2 per day per item, and not exceed £30 per item, depending on the type of property and the period of time for which it has been kept. the spokesman added. | Rail passengers face a sliding scale of charges, up to £25 an item, to get their lost property back depending on where they mislaid it. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | In September 2016 the Utility Regulator determined how much Northern Ireland's three gas networks could charge over the next six years.
That decision meant Firmus customers could expect their bills to be cut by an average of £15 a year.
Firmus appealed that decision to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was unsuccessful.
Utility Regulator Chief Executive Jenny Pyper said: "The true winners are local gas consumers."
"Our price control package would have reduced Firmus energy's tariffs by £15 per annum for the average domestic consumer and by tens of thousands of pounds for the larger industrial consumers.
"The CMA's determination means that at this time, Firmus energy does not receive any increase in its allowances above those identified in our price control and associated licence modifications.
"All utilities are entitled to a return on their investment but this must be commensurate with the risks that the business and its shareholder face and should not expose business and household consumers to further costs that impact on bills."
Firmus said its decision to appeal to the CMA was not taken lightly and "was done with the best long-term interests in mind for the natural gas consumer in Northern Ireland".
The company appealed on a total of 12 issues - nine of which were rejected.
One issue has been referred back to the regulator which may result in future adjustments - upwards or downwards.
The Consumer Council welcomed the appeal's outcome, and urged the CMA to decide who should pay its costs - which it said were likely to be substantial.
"The Consumer Council are seeking assurances from the CMA that the costs of the process will not fall unfairly to consumers and will be proportionately paid by Firmus Energy," said Consumer Council Chief Executive John French. | Firmus energy has lost an attempt to overturn a regulator's decision which meant lower gas bills for customers. |

The garden was opened in his home city of Swansea and a memorial stone and plaque were unveiled in the grounds of the Griffith John flats.
After learning Chinese, he set up schools and hospitals in China.
John arrived in the country in 1855, establishing training colleges and pioneering the recruitment of Chinese people for missionary work in their own country.
He translated the New Testament into a number of Chinese dialects and became a notable orator.
In later life, John was a leading opponent of the opium trade.
He returned to Britain early in 1912 - only the third time he left China - and died in July that year after 56 years of service.
He is buried in Sketty, Swansea, and a street is named after him in the Dyfatty area of the city.

They brought a bust of John made by Chinese artist Xiang Jinguo, which went on display temporarily at Swansea Museum.
The 20-year-old, who is Irish qualified, comes in as competition for Paddy Jackson and fills the void left by the retirement of Ian Humphreys.
"He has undoubted potential, an array of skills and line-breaking ability," said Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss.
Meanwhile, Ulster academy fly-half Johnny McPhillips has been upgraded to a development contract.
"With the depth of International-class outhalves at Bath, Brett's opportunities have been limited to the 'A' team at Rosslyn Park, where he has excelled," added Kiss.
"Johnny McPhillips enjoyed a successful stint with Ireland U20s in this season's Six Nations Championship and that experience will stand him in good stead.
"He is mature well beyond his years and he has the right temperament and ability to succeed at the highest level.
"We would fully expect Paddy Jackson to be involved with Ireland squads in the coming years so the knock-on effect will be the requirement for Ulster to produce more Irish-qualified options at 10.
"Brett and Johnny are definitely two very exciting prospects."
A review in 2016 said it was time for the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (Hefcw) to go.
A new organisation will manage funding for universities, further education colleges, research and skills.
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams told AMs the "boundaries between higher education and further education are now breaking down".
At the moment, funding for further education and training comes directly from ministers while Hefcw distributes money from the Welsh Government to universities.
The changes were recommended in a review led by Professor Ellen Hazelkorn, a higher education expert at the Dublin Institute of Technology.
A consultation will be held later this year on setting up the new organisation, with the current chair of Hefcw, David Allen, staying in post for three years.
Ms Williams said she hoped the consultation would come up with a better name for the new organisation than the current proposal of Tertiary Education Authority (TEA).

"I've been extremely proud to represent Middlesex for the last decade," said Lambeth-born Murtagh.
"To have seen the side develop and grow to the point where we became county champions has been one of the most rewarding things I've achieved."
Murtagh has played for both London clubs, having moved to Lord's from neighbours Surrey in 2007.
He has gone on to make 277 appearances for Middlesex in all forms of the game, scoring almost 3,000 runs and taking more than 700 wickets, 557 of them in first-class cricket.
"I am delighted that, in all probability, Tim will finish his career with Middlesex," said managing director of cricket Angus Fraser, who was part of the last Middlesex team to win the title, in 1993.

What is the summary of the document provided? | The man, who cannot be named to protect the girl's identity, admitted attacking her from the age of 10.
After his sentencing at Derby Crown Court, his daughter ran to him, crying out that she still loved him.
Judge Stuart Rafferty QC said it was difficult to "describe his depravity" and ordered he serve at least 15 years.
The court heard that the father had "poisoned" his daughter against her mother, who did not live with them, as part of a grooming process.
Suspicions were first raised when it was discovered the youngster was pregnant.
The man, fearful that the authorities would find out, encouraged his daughter to continue kick boxing in the hope it would trigger a miscarriage but when that failed they fled.
Eventually a DNA test revealed what he had done.
Giving evidence at his sentencing, the girl shook as she told the court that her father had destroyed her childhood and teenage years.
But she added: "I know what he did was wrong but I grew up with my dad at my side.
"I just wanted him to get help, to make him better, but unfortunately this never happened and it came to this. It has come to me having a baby."
In sentencing him, Judge Rafferty said: "It is difficult to find words that can properly describe the extent of your depravity and damage it has caused - not to a stranger but to your daughter.
"To be a parent is a privilege. Children do not ask to be born, children are to expect the best from their parents in terms of care and parental love.
"You gave your daughter a warped version of that which suited you and not her."
He added: "You took your daughter's life. You did not take it once you did every time you had sexual intercourse with her against her will."
As the man was led away following sentencing his daughter tried to run across the court, crying and screaming "I love you dad". | A father who repeatedly raped his daughter over a four-year period resulting in her having a baby has been jailed for life. |

The Tories said on Saturday they plan to raise personal tax allowances to £12,500.
The Liberal Democrats have announced proposals to boost apprenticeships.
After rejecting any coalition while on a visit to Deeside, Mr Miliband said Labour having a majority government would be in the "best interest for Wales and the best interest of the UK".
He said: "There's a big choice at this election. Do we have a Conservative government with David Cameron which runs the country for the richest and most powerful people?
"Or do we have a Labour government led by me which puts working people first?"
But, on Friday, Prime Minister David Cameron said people in Wales knew "more than most the damage Labour can do".
Launching the Conservative election manifesto for Wales, in Powys, Mr Cameron said it was both "hypocrisy" and a source of shame that Welsh Labour had not protected health spending in the way his government had in England.
Mr Miliband responded: "The way David Cameron has approached the issue is using Wales as a political football not trying to address the real reasons for this."
He also defended the record of the Welsh Labour government and would not put a figure on future funding for Wales.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has also accused Labour of hypocrisy, for attacking Conservative public spending cuts while refusing to commit to reversing those cuts.
Plaid Cymru MPs would not support a minority Labour government "that at its heart represents the worst excesses of austerity", she warned.
But they have called for parity with Scotland on funding, saying it would amount to an extra £1.2bn a year to the Welsh budget.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | British Medical Association members voted 58% to 42% against the deal.
BMA leaders had urged members to accept the terms, which were announced in May after talks with the government resumed following six strikes.
Government sources told the BBC they were "minded" to impose the deal.
Officials are now assessing the government's legal position, but with an equality impact assessment already carried out that is thought to be a formality.
A final announcement is expected in the coming days.
Following confirmation of the result, BMA junior doctor leader Johann Malawana resigned.
In a letter to members, Dr Malawana said the NHS was lurching "headlong into a wider crisis" that was of the government's making.
"I only hope that the next government realises that this vote is a demonstration of just how appalling frontline staff have been treated and undermined."
The BMA still has a mandate to take strike action, but it will be up to a new junior doctor leader to decide what the next steps are.
Ahead of the result of the vote being announced, senior sources at the BMA had indicated there was little appetite for prolonging the dispute given the climate in the country following the EU vote.
During the voting period, the government has been pushing ahead with introduction of the contract. New rotas are due to start for 6,000 newly qualified doctors in August, with the new pay system due to kick in later in the year.
Much of the rest of the 55,000-strong junior doctor workforce are then due to be moved on to the new contract from that point onwards. The government has yet to confirm whether there will be any change to these plans, with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt only saying the outcome of the vote will now be considered.
In May it was announced that talks at conciliation service Acas had finally resulted in a deal being agreed to end the long-running dispute, but the union said it would put the terms and conditions to a vote of members.
More than 100 road shows were organised where union leaders met with members to explain the new deal, which differed substantially from what the government had previously offered.
Instead of dividing the weekend between normal and unsocial hours, a system of supplements to be paid depending on how many weekends a doctor works over the course of a year was drawn up.
But many members remained unconvinced, believing it still did not properly reward them for the demands of the job, while they remained sceptical that the government's plans for a seven-day service would be properly funded.
December 2012 - The government invites the BMA for talks over new contract
October 2014 - BMA withdraws from talks
July 2015 - Independent pay review body publishes recommendations for a new contract
August 2015 - BMA refuses to re-enter talks
November 2015 - The government makes contract offer to junior doctors and BMA announces strikes
December 2015/January 2016 - Talks re-start at conciliation service Acas and strike for 1 December called off
January 2016 - First of four strikes, involving emergency cover being provided, is held
February 2016 - Ministers announce imposition of contract following second strike
April 2016 - First-ever all-out strike by doctors held in the history of the NHS
May 2016 - Talks restart after intervention by leaders at the royal colleges of medicine and a contract is finally agreed
July 2016 - BMA members vote to reject the contract
GP trainee Dr Francesca Silman, from London, said she voted against the new deal because of worries over working hours.
Dr Silman, who is part of the campaign group Justice for Health, said: "Moving forward, the government must now acknowledge that it is not possible to provide a seven-day NHS without extra staff and funding.
"That it is not possible to create a contract that doctors feel is safe, by stretching the current workforce."
Danny Mortimer, chief executive, NHS Employers, who was one of the government's chief negotiators in the talks, said: "I am profoundly disappointed the BMA has rejected the proposed new contract for junior doctors.
"It is imperative that patients will not be made to suffer any further impact as a result of the rejection of the contract."
The vote was open to 54,000 BMA members - junior doctors and medical students in their final two years of their degree. Over two thirds took part.
Labour Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott said: "Today is yet another sorry episode in the saga of the government's mishandled negotiations with junior doctors."
Katherine Murphy, of the Patients Association, added: "There have been no winners in this ongoing dispute, instead it's patients who have been the losers." | Ministers are preparing to impose a contract on junior doctors in England after the profession rejected the deal that had been agreed between union negotiators and the government. |
Please provide a short summary of this passage. | In some parts of the globe, the ground is going down 10 times faster than the water is rising, with the causes very often being driven by human activity.
Decades of ground water extraction saw Tokyo descend two metres before the practice was stopped.
Speaking at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, researchers said other cities must follow suit.
Gilles Erkens from the Deltares Research Institute, in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, said parts of Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and numerous other coastal urban settlements would sink below sea level unless action was taken.
His group's assessment of those cities found them to be in various stages of dealing with their problems, but also identified best practice that could be shared.
"Land subsidence and sea level rise are both happening, and they are both contributing to the same problem - larger and longer floods, and bigger inundation depth of floods," Dr Erkens told BBC News.
"The most rigorous solution and the best one is to stop pumping groundwater for drinking water, but then of course you need a new source of drinking water for these cities. But Tokyo did that and subsidence more or less stopped, and in Venice, too, they have done that."
The famous City of Water in north-east Italy experienced major subsidence in the last century due to the constant extraction of water from below ground.
When that was halted, subsequent studies in the 2000s suggested the major decline had been arrested.
Pietro Teatini's research indicates that significant instances of descent were now restricted to particular locations, and practices: "When some people restore their buildings, for example, they load them, and they can go down significantly by up to 5mm in a year." How far they descended would depend on the type and compaction of soils underneath those buildings, the University of Padova researcher added.
Like all cities, Venice has to deal with natural subsidence as well.
Large-scale geological processes are pushing the ground on which the city sits down and under Italy's Apennine Mountains. This of itself probably accounts for a subsidence of about 1mm each year. But on the whole, human-driven change has a greater magnitude than natural subsidence.
Scientists now have a very powerful tool to assess these issues. It is called Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar. By overlaying repeat satellite images of a specific location, it is possible to discern millimetric deformation of the ground.
Archives of this imagery extend back into the 1990s, allowing long time-series of change to be assessed.
The European Space Agency has just launched the Sentinel-1a radar satellite, which is expected to be a boon to this type of study.

Summarize the content provided below. | The authorities suspect the gunmen are linked to Islamist separatist groups.
Around 100 armed men stormed the jail and engaged in a shoot-out with guards, as prisoners fled in the chaos. A guard and six escapees were killed.
The Philippines, which is predominantly Catholic, has battled separatists in the south for decades, amid kidnappings, violence and jailbreaks.
The latest prison break took place at the North Cotabato District Jail near Kidapawan city, on the island of Mindanao.
Prison authorities said the gunmen showed up around 01:00 local time (17:00 GMT Tuesday), opening fire on the facility, which held more than 1,500 men.
The shoot-out lasted for about two hours, and in the confusion some prisoners fled to the back of the prison and climbed over the walls by stacking their beds, reported GMA News.
Jail warden Peter Bonggat told AFP: "The [inmates] took chances because of the volume of fire. They used their bedding, piled them on top of each other to escape."
He added that he believed the attack was to free a number of Islamist rebels who were in the jail.
Philippine military and police have launched a hunt for the escaped inmates. At least six have been recaptured.
It was the third and biggest prison escape in the past decade at North Cotabato District Jail, according to the Philippine Star newspaper.
More than 40 inmates fled in 2007 when three bomb-makers were rescued by guerrillas, and four years later another group of bomb-makers also escaped.
The south of Philippines has a history of violent jailbreaks in general.
In August last year Muslim extremists supporting the Islamic State militant group freed eight detainees and 15 other inmates at a jail in Marawi, a city on Mindanao.
Islamist groups like the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Abu Sayyaf have conducted terror attacks as well as kidnapping tourists for ransom in southern Philippines for decades.
The MILF is in the midst of a long-running peace process with the Philippine government, but it has been hampered by the fact that the group has splintered into several factions and offshoot groups, some of which have refused to surrender. | More than 150 inmates have escaped from a south Philippines prison after gunmen launched an attack. |
Provide a brief summary of this section. | The former Manchester United man, who took charge following John Sheridan's sacking, could not stop his side crashing to a 10th-straight defeat.
The Shrimps had the perfect start as they took the lead after just two minutes. Lee Molyneux received the ball on the right and cut inside before firing a low left-footed effort that beat Scott Loach low to his right.
The home side continued to be a threat with Molyneux wasting a glorious chance for a second when he skewed a free shot wide before Paul Mullin forced Loach into a fine save with a shot from the edge of the box.
The pressure paid off for the hosts with Mullin adding a second on 27 minutes when he was in the right place at the right time to slot home the loose ball after Loach could only parry a Kevin Ellison cross back into the danger area.
Four minutes later it was 3-0 when the Shrimps were awarded a penalty for a Richard Duffy foul on Mullin, and Michael Rose stepped up to send Loach the wrong way from the spot.
The Magpies were given a lifeline when Morecambe midfielder Andy Fleming received a straight-red card for a tackle on Curtis Thompson on the stroke of half-time.
Despite dominating the possession in the second half, the visitors rarely threatened the Morecambe goal.
Barry Roche produced one superb save to deny Adam Campbell before the visitors pulled one back nine minutes from time with a neat finish by Jonathan Forte from a Jon Stead lay-off.

"There are very few of them left in the country, and they reflect the original Victorian character of the area", said David Neale from the Bell Tower Community Association.
"They have already been satisfactorily retro-fitted for electric lighting, so believe that it should be possible for them to be fitted with modern lighting".

But the use of police dogs to crack complex crime is largely due to the "pioneering" work of South Wales Police and their battle to stop Welsh extremists in the late 1960s.
"South Wales Police were the first to train explosive search police dogs in 1969," said Sgt Ian Roderick, who has run the South Wales Police dog training school for 17 years.
"At the time there was a huge issue with Welsh extremism and there were attacks being carried out by the Free Wales Army.
"South Wales Police went to the Met [Police in London] and asked them to train the dogs to search for explosives. They said it couldn't be done - so we did it ourselves."
The results were "astounding" and led the way for the 380 explosive dogs that now work throughout the UK.
It also helped establish the South Wales Police school as one of the most prestigious in the UK, training dogs and officers from countries as far away as the the Middle East, Hong Kong and Bermuda.
It has also trained dogs for all four Welsh police forces, others around the UK, the Army and the Prison Service.
Around Wales there are now over 145 police dogs, who play an important support role for the police forces that will soon be overseen by the new Police and Crime Commissioners.
The Bridgend-based dog school started off as a training ground for four German Shepherd puppies in August 1960 - Bruce, Bess, Cora and Carl - in the then Glamorgan Constabulary.
The first dog-assisted arrest in the force area came a few months later when Carl helped stop three men stealing Christmas trees in Tonyrefail.
Since then the dogs' skills have evolved to meet the demands of modern policing.
Now, along with patrol dogs, which are usually German or Belgian Shepherds, specialist search dogs - typically gun dog breeds - are trained to find substances that humans often cannot.
As well as explosives, South Wales Police have trained dogs to locate illegal drugs, firearms, currency, blood and bodies, passports and mobile phones and SIM cards.
Despite the complicated cases they become involved with, training the dogs is relatively simple, Sgt Roderick said.
"It's all based on positive rewards. We make it fun for them, we make it a game," he said.
"They look for something based on a certain smell and if they find it they get a toy or a reward after it."
He said the training could be adapted to find all manner of substances and that as new drugs and explosives emerge, the dogs can be shown how to find them.
"I still don't think we have exploited or understand more than 5% of what a dog is capable of," he said.
"Some of our dogs are capable of detecting nanogramme of substances. Scientists admit they can't recreate machines that can detect the same amount. It fascinates me even now.
"We train the dogs to meet the needs of society.
"The drug mephedrone - or meow meow as it's known - is a big thing now. It was something that was legal until a short time ago. That's what we're training the dogs to detect now.
"We have always got to react to what's going on out there."
Puppies are usually taken on by the school when they are just a few months old and are helped to adjust to their new working environment, such as being taken to crowded stadiums and airports.
Then, when they are about 18 months old, they are given the training needed to gain their licence.
Sgt Maria Henry, who is in charge of Gwent Police's dog section, said on average their dogs were responsible for detaining over 100 criminals each month, along with recovering thousands of pounds of drugs and stolen property.
"The dogs are invaluable," she said.
"One recent success story was when a dog and its handler responded to a call-out about a stolen vehicle in Newport.
"The dog tracked some boys through fields and brambles and one of them was carrying a holdall with about a quarter of a million pounds worth of cocaine."
Police are not the only fans of their hero dogs.
"Some of the specialist dogs went up to the Olympics," said Sgt Henry.
"The explosives dog was searching the track area one evening after the crowds had gone home and he met Usain Bolt [Olympic 100m and 200m champion].
"Apparently he was fabulous with the dogs as he was missing his own. He asked if he could come and stroke them."
And what of the police handlers who form "extremely close" bonds with their dogs?
"All the dogs live with their handlers and they are very close as they have to trust each other," said Sgt Roderick.

Centurions forward Glenn Stewart has been banned for two games for a high tackle on Wolves half-back Kevin Brown in the same Super League match.
Wakefield second-rower Danny Kirmond was fined £300 after admitting a high tackle in Friday's loss at Leeds.
Warrington, who were beaten in last season's Grand Final by Wigan, have lost all five Super League matches in 2017 and are bottom of the table.

However, officials upheld it as a Grade C charge.
The airline said that "some softness in demand, related to the upcoming federal election and recent drop in consumer confidence in Australia," had emerged over Easter.
As a result, Qantas said it would be cutting back on planned increases to capacity.
Shares in the carrier closed down by 10.8% at 3.62 Australian dollars.
Australia is expected to now have an election on 2 July after the federal upper house voted down legislation aimed at policing construction industry unions, allowing the government to call an early election.
"In response to changed demand conditions, the Qantas Group has revised planned capacity additions in the final three months of financial year 2016," the group said.
"Qantas Group domestic capacity growth in the final quarter will now be negative compared to the prior corresponding period."
Qantas said the changes would mean that growth in domestic capacity for the second half of the year would be revised down from 2% to between 0.5% and 1%.
Internationally, the group said it would remove three Sydney to Los Angeles services and re-direct the capacity to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Earlier this year, the airline reported a record profit of A$921m ($665m; £470m), thanks largely to lower oil prices. | Warrington Wolves winger Tom Lineham has been banned for two games and fined £300 for striking an opponent.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Take-Two claimed the Open IV program that let people change, or mod, the game's basic elements aided cheats.
In response, players wrote thousands of negative reviews of the game and more than 77,000 signed a petition calling for Open IV to be left alone.
GTA creator Rockstar also put pressure on Take-Two to change its mind.
In a message placed on the GTA V chat forums, Rockstar said "discussions" with Take-Two had led to it ending the legal action.
The row blew up last week when the lead developer of Open IV said the mod kit was being withdrawn because it had been threatened with legal action by Take-Two.
At the same time, Take-Two took action that led to the closure of three sites that advertised themselves as a way for people to cheat when playing online versions of the game.
These extras let people get huge amounts of in-game cash and easily obtain items that otherwise took hours of playing to acquire.
Users of Open IV said Take-Two was wrong to regard the mod kit as a cheating tool because it was designed to work with only single-player versions of GTA.
In its forum message, Rockstar acknowledged this distinction and said its discussions with Take-Two had meant that the publisher had now "agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar's PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties".
Rockstar said it believed in "reasonable fan creativity" that let fans show their "passion" for its games.
Take-Two's decision was also influenced by Open IV's creators promising to work harder to stop the kit being used by people to cheat in online versions of GTA.
A small number of people had found a way to use Open IV to cheat in this way, lead developer Yuriy Krivoruchko told news site Motherboard.
The ending of the legal action was "good news", wrote Samuel Horti on the Rock, Paper Shotgun website.
"It's helped players produce some cracking mods and machinima [animation]," he said.
Horti added that the Rockstar statement was "carefully worded", perhaps so it could be reversed later on.
It might need to be, he said, because Take-Two and Rockstar faced a technical challenge when it came to policing add-ons for the game.
"How do Take-Two intend to allow single-player mods without leaving the door open to cheaters?" he asked. | Player protests have prompted the publishers of GTA V to halt legal action against a widely used software add-on for the single-player version. |
What is the summary of the document provided? | The 57-year-old, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, allegedly entered an illegal form of marriage in Llandudno in June 2014.
He denied the charge when he appeared before a district judge at Llandudno Magistrates' Court on Thursday and was bailed until his trial.
She made the comments at a rally in the city in 2010 when she was fighting for the leadership of the party.
Ms Le Pen insisted on Tuesday she did not commit any offence.
And the prosecutor called for her acquittal, saying she was not referring to the whole Muslim community.
The National Front (FN) leader had only spoken about a specific number of people and was exercising her freedom of speech, Bernard Reynaud told the court.
The case was originally dropped last year by the Lyon court of appeal but revived by anti-racism groups who made a civil complaint.
Ms Le Pen's anti-immigration and anti-EU message is attracting increasing support in France and her party is hoping to win two French regions in December local elections.
The judge in Lyon will deliver a ruling on the case in December.
It was during a campaign speech in Lyon in 2010, a few months before she became leader, that Marine Le Pen spoke out about Muslims worshipping in the streets because mosques were full.
"I'm sorry, but some people are very fond of talking about the Second World War and about the occupation, so let's talk about occupation, because that is what is happening here," she told National Front supporters.
"There are no tanks, no soldiers, but it is still an occupation, and it weighs on people."
Outside court on Tuesday she questioned the timing of the trial.
"We're a month away from a regional election and this affair dates back five years," she told reporters.
An opinion poll at the weekend suggested her niece, Marion Marechal-Le Pen, could wrest control of the key southern region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur (Paca) from the governing Socialists.
This trial goes right to the heart of the National Front's revamped political campaign.
Under Marine Le Pen, the party has tried to "detoxify" its public image and distance itself from accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, but critics say its focus has simply switched to Muslims.
Not so, says the party leadership: their target is not Muslims per se, but Muslim extremists; those whose belief and behaviour threatens the "uni-cultural" France that Ms Le Pen envisages.
The FN has been treading a careful line between broadening its appeal to a wider section of voters, and voicing what it says are the legitimate concerns of France's "forgotten" working classes, eking out a precarious existence in the face of France's immigration policies and globalised economy.
The Lyon trial could deliver a vicious kick to Ms Le Pen's work on cleaning-up her party's image (and also to her own chances in December's regional elections); or it could provide another chance for the party to present itself as victimised by the French political system; pitted against remote, out-of-touch elites.
Alarm at the party's rise has prompted President Francois Hollande to warn France not to take the risk of backing the far right.
"Don't play with this way of voting just to send a message, just because of unhappiness and anger," he told French radio. "For investors, for external trade, jobs and growth, there will be consequences."
The practice of Muslims praying in the streets was banned in Paris in 2011 after a political outcry.
Ms Le Pen was investigated for her public remarks but the initial inquiry was closed without action in 2011.
An anti-racism group then filed a new complaint, which led to a judicial inquiry being launched in 2012. Ms Le Pen was eventually stripped of her immunity from prosecution by the European Parliament in 2013.
She is accused of incitement to discrimination, violence or hatred towards a group of people because of their religious affiliation and if found guilty could face up to a year in jail and a fine of €45,000 (£33,000; $51,000).

Dr Croft will be the most senior clergyman in the Church of England for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
The Diocese faced "an extended vacancy" after votes in May last year failed to produce a candidate.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
Downing Street announced Dr Croft's appointment on Tuesday.
He was ordained in 1987 and became the Bishop of Sheffield in 2009.
The Diocese of Oxford has been without a permanent bishop since the Right Rev John Pritchard stepped down in October 2014.
Interviews of potential candidates were held in 2015, but the Archbishop of Canterbury said the Crown Nominations Commission - which elects bishops - had "been unable to discern the candidate whom God is calling".

Dean Hartley struck Karl Swift with such a blow he suffered a broken jaw and was knocked unconscious in New Road, Halesowen on 8 September.
Mr Swift died in hospital two days later and Hartley, 30, initially denied manslaughter.
But he was found guilty at Wolverhampton Crown Court and given an eight years and three-months jail term.
The pair, both from South Yorkshire, had been drinking at a pub in the town with other co-workers when the row broke out.
Hartley, of the Langsett Estate, Sheffield, "squared up" to Mr Swift, who then left the pub. The rest of the group was asked to leave just after 22:00 BST.
As they walked back to their accommodation Hartley attacked Mr Swift, leaving him with a fractured skull.
At first Hartley claimed Mr Swift, 33, had fallen.
However he was found guilty of manslaughter and perverting the cause of justice following a two-week trial.
The group had travelled to the West Midlands for work.
Det Insp Paul Joyce, of West Midlands Police, said: "Mr Swift was left with a broken jaw and unconscious before he even hit the floor which shows the severity of the blow he suffered.
"It became clear from our investigations [Mr Swift was] assaulted in an unprovoked attack and we set about getting justice.
"Hartley initially lied over what happened and then tried to cover his actions by claiming he acted in self-defence.

Despite this, 96% of streets were graded as acceptable to the public.
Natural Resources Minister Carl Sargeant said "everybody" was responsible for keeping streets clean.
Keep Wales Tidy said smoking-related litter - which is predominantly made up of cigarette butts - was difficult to clean up.
It could also affect the environment and wildlife by contaminating water supplies with toxic chemicals, it added.
Chief executive Lesley Jones said: "I would emphasise that it isn't just the responsibility of local authorities to clean up an area, but everyone who lives, works, visits a street, park, beach, city, town or village to keep it clean and create a good environment for all."
Its research - published in the All Wales Report (How Clean are our Streets?) - was funded by the Welsh government.
Angela Constance has written to Home Secretary Amber Rudd asking for a "clear timetable" for ratification of the Council of Europe convention.
The UK government signed up to the convention in June 2012, but is yet to formally ratify it.
A private members' bill on the topic has also been lodged at Westminster.
The UK government has previously said it was studying concerns about parts of the convention cutting across local legal jurisdictions.
Ms Constance, who is to lead a Holyrood debate to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, wrote to Ms Rudd asking her to commit to the Istanbul Convention and engage with the devolved administrations over it.
The Council of Europe convention states that "it is the obligation of the state to fully address" violence against women "in all its forms", take measures to prevent it, protect its victims and prosecute perpetrators.
It was written in April 2011, and while the UK government signed up to it the following year it is yet to ratify it.
In her letter to the home secretary, Ms Constance said the Scottish government "strongly support the principles and aspirations of the Istanbul Convention".
She wrote: "I know that both our governments share a commitment to ending violence against women and girls once and for all. We wish to see a clear timetable for ratification laid out."
Ms Constance added: "There is no more time for foot dragging. It has been more than four years since the UK government signed this important convention and two years since it came to force.
"The ratification of the Istanbul Convention would ensure a focus on the further work necessary to seek to end gender-based violence once and for all and I sincerely hope that we will hear back from the UK government with a positive response soon."
Marsha Scott of Scottish Women's Aid said the UK government "has within its grasp to make history" by ratifying the convention.
She said: "The Istanbul Convention is probably the very best piece of violence against women policy that has been written ever, anywhere. It is a blueprint for how we move from small change at the margins, services that are picking up too few people, too late, to a system that is designed to end domestic abuse and violence against women."
In February, MP Karen Bradley, then a Home Office minister, said there was an issue with part of the convention about "extraterritoriality", the issue of local legal jurisdictions.
She said when the issue had been clarified and relevant legislation passed, the government would ratify the convention.
Theresa May, who was Home Secretary when the UK signed up to the convention, was asked about it during her first session of questions to the prime minister in July.
She said: "It is important to deal with the issues of gender violence and domestic violence against women and girls. That is why the government have - I led this as Home Secretary - a strategy to deal with violence against women and girls.
"We have a good record on what we have done, for example, putting into operation domestic violence protection orders and the new coercive control offence, but there is always more to do and we will be doing that."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Gudmundsson struck the post from 25 yards before latching onto Morgan Fox's cross to put his side ahead.
Ademola Lookman fired past Marco Silvestri to double the Addicks' lead after the break.
Leeds' Chris Wood then struck the post with a header before Sol Bamba nodded home to reduce the arrears, but League One-bound Charlton held on.
The home side went into the game on a better run of form, having gone four league games without defeat, but the mid-table side lacked intensity from the outset.
Their first real chance came in the second half courtesy of Wood's header which came off the woodwork, before Bamba's free header briefly gave them hope.
But Charlton, whose relegation from the Championship was confirmed on 19 April following a goalless draw with Bolton, looked bright throughout and had Nick Pope to thank for ensuring all three points after he denied Mirco Antenucci with a fine injury-time save.
Steve Evans on his future as Leeds head coach: "You never hope one result is the difference between whether you are kept or not.
"I had a very good meeting with the president (Massimo Cellino) yesterday and it went very well. There were a lot of positive, constructive things said about myself.
"I gave my views on what we need to win promotion next season and he gave his."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Prof Donald MacDonald argued that this would be more effective than ditching the present opt-in system.
The Scottish Parliament will this week debate the creation of an opt-out system, where people are presumed to have consented to organ donation.
The proposal is in a members' bill backed by Labour MSP Anne McTaggart.
Prof MacDonald believes the example of Spain, which he said has a more rigorous approach to encouraging voluntary donations, should be looked at instead.
He said: "Quite apart from the moral and ethical objections to the bill voiced by most of the religious bodies who gave evidence, no convincing evidence that an opt-out system improves the rate of donation and transplantation was presented.
"We should home in on evidence obtained from the head of the transplant service in Spain, which has a very high rate of organ donation and transplantation."
Spain had an "opt-out" system of presumed consent to organ donation for 10 years, but abandoned it in favour of a revamped opt-in system in 1989.
Prof MacDonald added: "A national transplant organisation was set up with an efficient system of identification and referral of donors, collection of organs and liaising with relatives.
"Only since then did the number of organs available for transplantation increase to the present high levels."
Ms McTaggart has cited evidence which said that three people died every day across the UK waiting for a transplant. She claimed her legislation could save lives.
"That's what the bill is about. It's about making more organs available to people who need them, ultimately," she said.
Holyrood's health committee last month said it backed the aim, but not the detail, of Ms McTaggart's bill.
Committee convener Duncan McNeil said it recognised the "devastating impact on all aspects of family life of those who are waiting for donated organs".
He added: "As a committee we have to consider all the evidence placed in front of us and it was clear that there are differing views about the best way to increase donation rates.
"While the committee supported the aim behind the legislation, a majority couldn't support the detail." | A former moderator of the Free Church of Scotland has urged the Scottish government to look at a more efficient system for organ donation. |
Provide a brief summary of this section. | It is the biggest tranche of funding it has ever announced in the region.
The capital - together with additional top-up cash from Stormont - will allow 4,700 low-rent, social homes to be built over the next five years.
The money is being split between the Choice (£150m) and Apex (£130m) housing associations.
The Luxembourg-based bank lends money on low-interest, long-term deals.
Previously it provided £150m towards the cost of the new Ulster University campus in Belfast.
It has also funded road projects, but until recently its activities in Northern Ireland have been considered modest.
Michael McDonnell, Chief Executive of Choice Housing, said the loan was "the most cost-effective long-term finance arrangement ever used in Northern Ireland".
"Ultimately that means we can make public money go further and put more social homes in the areas where they are needed most."
Martin Doherty, chairman of Apex, said the money will underpin Apex's development plans and enable the association to continue its current programme programme of transforming disused brown field sites in Belfast, such as North Queen Street police station.
The body of a 12-year-old girl from their school, in Singapore, has been recovered, Singapore's ministry of education said.
Officials say at least 13 people died in the earthquake, which brought rocks tumbling down the mountain.
More than 130 people stranded on the peak made it to safety.
The schoolgirl whose body was recovered was named by Singapore as Wee Ying Ping Peony from Tanjong Katong Primary School.
She was among more than 30 pupils and teachers, on an educational trip, caught up in the 6.0-magnitude quake in the Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo island.
A boy, 12, from the same school was rescued and is receiving medical treatment in Kota Kinabalu.
A Malaysian guide was also one of those killed.
Earlier, the Sabah Tourism Minister Masidi Manjun tweeted: "The 137 climbers have safely arrived at the Park HQ, the last batch at 02:50 (18:50 GMT on Friday)."
Reports say those climbing at the time included nationals from China, the United States, the Philippines, the UK, Thailand, Turkey, and Japan.
The earthquake was so powerful it also snapped off one of Mount Kinabalu's "Donkey's Ear" peaks, Mr Manjun added.
Bad weather hampered rescue efforts on Friday, preventing helicopters from landing on the mountain. Many of the climbers had to make their own way down with the help of tour guides and park rangers.
Some of the group had climbed to the summit to watch the sunrise as the earthquake struck.
The US Geological Survey said the quake happened at around 07:15 local time (23:15 GMT), at a depth of 10km (32,800ft). The epicentre was 54km (33 miles) from Mount Kinabalu, which stands at 4,095m.
The quake also damaged roads and buildings, including schools and a hospital on Sabah's west coast.
Many climbers are attracted to the challenging "via ferrata" climbing route, where cables, metal rungs and bridges are set into the rocks on the steep terrain to help people ascend.
All activity on the mountain has now been suspended.

Summarize the following piece. | Organisers have been trying to bring back the game, known as Ullamaliztli in Mexico, because of its ancient cultural and religious significance.
The game was played across Central America before being banned by the Spanish conquistadors.
The tournament, only the second since 2006, is being played by ten teams from across Mexico.
According to ancient texts the ball game was seen as a struggle between light and darkness and provided the energy to keep humanity going.
Today the game is played by teams of seven players, who knock a heavy solid rubber ball up and down a narrow pitch, using their hips rather than their feet.
Giant ball courts can still be seen in ruins across the region.
In ancient times losers of the game were often sacrificed to the Gods, but this year organisers opted for a knockout tournament instead.
Concerns about the 23-year-old's health were first raised in 2013, when she cancelled a tour of Asia and Australia.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body's immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissue.
This process can lead to destruction of the kidney, heart, brain, spine, and lung tissue.
It can affect almost any system in the body but its exact cause is unknown.
Symptoms can include fever, a "butterfly" shaped rash on the face, hair loss, fatigue and painful joints.
The disease is currently treated by drugs, and by chemotherapy designed to suppress the action of the immune system.

The 3-0 win - thanks to goals from Tom Rogic, James Forrest and Moussa Dembele - gave Celtic their 100th major trophy, and Rodgers his first as manager.
The Northern Irishman said his players had been "really impressive" but they must now build on their success.
"It's a winning club, that's what the history of this club has been based on," said the former Liverpool manager.
"It marks a milestone, the century of trophies and we've got to start off the next century of trophies. That will be important for us and the club."
Celtic, unbeaten domestically this season, controlled most of the game, scoring twice in the first half through Rogic and Forrest.
Aberdeen rallied just after the interval, but their challenge ended when Anthony O'Connor conceded a penalty that Dembele converted.
"It's a great night for the Celtic supporters to celebrate and we push for the next one," said Rodgers.
"It's six months and a week since I came in and we talked about what we wanted to achieve and how we wanted to do it and we're well on our way to that.
"We're trying to improve standards on and off the field. We're shaping up the team to play in a certain style and that's going very well.
"There are things we'll analyse, what can we do better, how can we improve. Ultimately, the goal was to win the cup and thankfully we've won it."
Rather than dwelling on his first trophy, Rodgers focused instead on the efforts of his players. He praised the performance and, in particular, the command of Scott Brown in midfield.
"I've a huge job to do here in terms of building on it and sustaining it," he said. "It's a great achievement.
"For the players, it's something to show for the great work they've been doing. It's great for the confidence and it sets us up for the rest of the season.
"If I'm to say anything on getting my own first trophy as Celtic manager, having Scott as the captain is a huge honour.
"He really dominated the game and collectively he pulls the team together on the field."
Counterpart Derek McInnes urged his Aberdeen players to use the disappointment of the defeat as motivation to reach another cup final this season.
He felt some in his side did not perform to their full potential and insists that, although Celtic will grow stronger, they can still be defeated in a one-off match.
"There's a lot of pain and not feeling good about ourselves," McInnes said. "We were beaten by a better team.
"The difference is that, when we take them on in a cup final, we need everyone to be at their maximum.

Summarize the provided section. | Don Thompson, president of the Jersey Fishermen's Association, said quotas meant some boats were out of the water for three months of the year.
The European Union (EU) has published new quotas for 2015 onwards, which include a ban on discarding certain species.
Marine officer Greg Morel says local fishermen are bound by EU agreements.
He said: "There are some things discussed in Brussels that will have an impact on local fishermen because we have an agreement around managing our seas jointly."
Mr Thompson said the existing system was not working as it did not take in to consideration local fish stocks.
He said: "If we don't do something we are going to be deprived of the ability and right to catch fish in the waters around this island. That is unthinkable.
"There are lines in our fisheries management agreement that bind us to Europe - and that will always be there - but that doesn't stop us working on a scientifically backed system that moves away from quota stocks."
Mr Thompson said the announcement on Tuesday by EU ministers over the recent quota changes "could have been worse".
He said it was still not good news as quotas were still dropping but at the same time stocks were improving, especially in island waters.
He said: "We've had four years of a total ban on Undulate Ray. We put forward a specific request to have that lifted because stocks in Channel Islands waters are fine, they are plentiful.
"But because they have suffered from over fishing in Portugal and Ireland, there is a complete ban."
The meeting is on Wednesday evening and Mr Thompson said he did not expect any immediate outcome. | Jersey fishermen are to meet with ministers to propose alternatives to the current quota system. |

The court objected to a requirement that voters register no later than 15 days before polling day.
Some other provisions were also deemed to be unconstitutional.
The conservative party of PM Viktor Orban dominates parliament. Last year Fidesz changed some other laws amid EU pressure over democratic standards.
After Friday's court ruling the head of the party's parliamentary group, Antal Rogan, said the new voter registration system would not be introduced for the 2014 general election.
The new electoral law was adopted by parliament last November, but then President Janos Ader referred it to the constitutional court.
He also highlighted public concern about the law's provisions on election campaigning and advertising.
The court ruled that the law restricted voter rights to an unjustifiable degree, the Politics.hu news website reports.
The court objected to a proposal that political ads be restricted to the publicly run media, calling it a grave violation of freedom of speech.
The court also opposed proposed bans on cinemas screening political ads during the campaign and on the publication of any election-related opinion polls in the six days prior to election day.
Last year the European Commission - the EU's executive arm - took legal action against Mr Orban's government over reforms to Hungary's central bank, data protection and the judiciary.
There have been many protests in Hungary against Fidesz's laws which, in the eyes of critics, infringe on civil liberties.

COSTA BOOK AWARDS 2015 SHORTLISTS
The Girl in the Red Coat, Kate Hamer's thriller about a kidnapped young girl, is one of two thrillers in contention for the first novel award.
The other is The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley, a debut novel that had a first print run of just 300 copies.
The other first novel nominees are Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume and Things We Have in Common by Tasha Kavanagh.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | The judges ruled the right to privacy was "an intrinsic part of Article 21 that protects life and liberty".
The ruling has implications for the government's vast biometric ID scheme, covering access to benefits, bank accounts and payment of taxes.
Rights groups are concerned personal data could be misused. The authorities want registration to be compulsory.
The verdict overturns two previous rulings by the top court which said that privacy was not a fundamental right.
The nine-judge bench, comprising all the sitting judges in the Supreme Court, was necessary because one of the earlier rulings, made in 1954, was delivered by an eight-judge bench.
The Supreme Court verdict is a huge setback for the government which has insisted that privacy is not an inalienable fundamental right guaranteed under the constitution.
When the Aadhaar database was launched, the authorities said it would be a voluntary scheme which would help them weed out corruption while passing on welfare benefits to the most needy citizens.
But in the past couple of years, it has been made mandatory for filing tax returns, opening bank accounts, securing loans, buying and selling property or even making purchases of 50,000 rupees ($780; £610) and above.
The petitioners had said this would help the authorities create a comprehensive profile of a person's spending habits and expressed apprehension that this data could be misused by a government which does not believe in people's right to privacy.
During the hearing of the case, the government's lawyers had told the court that citizens did not have absolute right over their bodies which meant that people could be forced to give their biometrics.
Alarmed citizens can now breathe a sigh of relief - as one legal expert said, Thursday's order recognises the right of a citizen to be the master of his body and mind.
Speaking to reporters outside court, lawyer Prashant Bhushan, who represented the petitioners, described the ruling as "historic".
He said that a smaller bench would now look into the validity of the Aadhaar scheme, the largest biometric identity scheme in the world.
Aadhaar, which means foundation, started out as a voluntary programme to help tackle benefit fraud.
But recently it has been made mandatory for access to welfare schemes.
The government says that Aadhaar has cut waste, removed fakes, curbed corruption and made substantial savings.
Advocates of the scheme have also argued that the portable identity number is a boon to millions of Indians who do not possess any other form of ID.
UN data shows that many births among people belonging to the poorest segments of society are not registered.
In its judgment, the Supreme Court also criticised a previous ruling by the top court that reinstituted a law criminalising homosexuality, saying that "discrimination against an individual on the basis of sexual orientation is deeply offensive to the dignity and self-worth of the individual".
A decision on a petition against the law will be made later, it said.
The statement is expected to provide a huge boost to petitioners for LGBT rights in India.
Thursday's ruling comes two days after the court said instant divorce, practiced among some Muslims in the country, was unconstitutional.
It is the last major case due to be heard before sitting Chief Justice JS Khehar retires on Friday.
The government has taken contradictory stands on the issue of privacy.
In previous cases, it said that privacy was protected by the constitution, but argued otherwise in the Aadhaar case.

Summarize the content provided below. | The 84-year-old was targeted by the female attacker in the Bridgeton area of Glasgow on Thursday morning.
Detectives said the woman forced her way into a block of flats in Main Street at about 08:05 before demanding money from the pensioner.
She made off with a two-figure sum. Police have appealed for witnesses.
Police said the suspect threatened the victim with a knife before making off with the cash and escaping north along Main Street towards Bridgeton Cross.
Det Con Lucy McMillan said: "For someone to force their way into an elderly woman's home and subject her to such a terrifying ordeal is absolutely despicable.
"It is crucial that we find the person responsible for this cowardly crime and I would urge anyone who was in the Bridgeton area on Thursday morning to come forward if they think they may have seen a woman matching the description or anything else suspicious."
The attacker is described as being about aged between 20 and 30, about 5ft 4in tall with a gaunt appearance. She was wearing a black and grey jacket, dark trousers and trainers. She was also wearing glasses.
Police said they were increasing the number of patrols in the area to provide assurance to concerned residents.

Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, 65, is the first woman to be convicted of genocide by an international court.
She was found guilty, along with her son and four other former officials, after a 10-year trial.
Some 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during the 1994 massacres.
Nyiramasuhuko, who was family affairs and women's development minister, was accused of ordering and assisting in the massacres in her home district of Butare in southern Rwanda.
The prosecution at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) accused her of taking part in the government decision to create militias throughout the country. Their mission was to wipe out the Tutsi population as fast as possible.
"The chamber convicts Pauline Nyiramasuhuko of conspiracy to commit genocide, crimes against humanity, extermination, rape, persecution and... violence to life and outrages upon personal dignity," read the ruling by the trial's three judges.
During the genocide she ordered women and girls to be raped and forced people onto trucks - they were driven away to be killed.
Her son, Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, who was in his early 20s at the time, headed a militia that carried out the massacres. He also raped women.
Profile: Pauline Nyiramasuhuko
How the genocide happened
Presiding Judge William Sekule said scores of ethnic Tutsis were killed after taking refuge in a local government office.
"Hoping to find safety and security, they instead found themselves subject to abductions, rapes, and murder. The evidence... paints a clear picture of unfathomable depravity and sadism," he said.
Ntahobali and one other local official were sentenced to life in prison, while three others were jailed for between 25 and 35 years.
BBC East Africa correspondent Will Ross says Nyiramasuhuko showed no emotion as she was sentenced.
She was found guilty on seven of the 11 charges she faced. She had denied all the charges.
The trial opened in 2001, making it the longest held by the ICTR.
Last month, former army chief Augustin Bizimungu and three other former military officers were convicted after a nine-year trial.
The Rwandan government, led by Paul Kagame who ended the genocide, has long complained about the slow pace of justice at the tribunal, based in Arusha, Tanzania.
Butare was once home to a large mix of Hutu and Tutsi people, and there was some resistance there to the orders to carry out the massacres.
Nyiramasuhuko was accused of requesting military assistance to proceed with the massacres in her home commune.
After the genocide, she fled to neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire), before being arrested in Kenya in 1997, reports the AFP news agency.
Our correspondent says that although she was the only woman on trial for genocide before the ICTR, many other women have been convicted of genocide in Rwandan courts.

The bill was drafted in part as a response to the phrase "Polish death camps" which often appears in the foreign media as a shortcut term.
In such cases, the state could pursue civil action and claim compensation.
The bill would make it illegal to say that Poland "took part, organised or was co-responsible for the crimes of the Third Reich".
Millions of people, mostly Jews, from across Europe were killed in six German-run extermination camps on Polish soil.
Further Holocaust atrocities were committed in concentration camps and ghettos in Poland.

What is the summary of the given information? | Mrs Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, was a vocal critic of the property mogul on the campaign trail.
The 44-year-old governor later voted for Mr Trump, lamenting that she was "not a fan" of either candidate.
But she appears to have mended relations with the president-elect, whom she is meeting in New York.
Nikki Haley, the Republican who took on Trump
Born Nimrata "Nikki" Randhawa, Mrs Haley is the first minority and female governor of South Carolina, a deeply conservative state with a long history of racial strife.
As the youngest governor in the US and only the second Indian-American to serve at the helm of a US state, she has been touted as a rising star within the Republican Party.
She took a public stand against resettling Syrian refugees in South Carolina and also opposed President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law.
Last week, Mrs Haley was elected vice-chair of the Republican Governors Association, paving the way to become chairman of the group in 2018.
The Indian-American, who is in her second and final term as governor, was elected in 2010, riding the wave of the Republican Tea Party with the support of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Her re-election win in 2014 also marked the largest margin of victory for a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate in 24 years.
Before becoming the Palmetto state's chief executive, she served six years as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
An accountant and businesswoman, Mrs Haley was raised in a Sikh household but converted to Christianity and attends a Methodist church.
She is married to Army National Guard Captain Michael Haley and has two children.
Mrs Haley attracted national attention last year when she asked the state legislature to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Capitol following a racially charged massacre that left nine people dead at a Charleston church.

Charleston church victims remembered
The state has long wrestled with its connection to the divisive flag, which is considered by many as a totem of racism, but defended by others as an important historical symbol.
"Today, we are here in a moment of unity in our state, without ill will, to say it is time to move the flag from the Capitol grounds," said Mrs Haley at a news conference.
"One-hundred and fifty years after the end of the Civil War, the time has come."
Though she had previously supported preserving the flag's symbolism of Southern Heritage, the governor signed a bill requiring its removal and the flag was taken down in July 2015.
Mrs Haley endorsed Florida Senator Marco Rubio during the Republican primary election, and later after he dropped out, threw her support behind Senator Ted Cruz - Mr Trump's final rival before he became the party's nominee.
The governor also admonished Mr Trump to release his taxes and criticised his harsh campaign rhetoric throughout the primary election.
In January she was praised by Republicans for her rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, in which made pointed remarks which appeared to criticise Mr Trump.
The governor said: "During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation".
Mrs Haley also confronted the then-frontrunner's call to temporarily ban Muslims from the country, adding: "No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country".
Mr Trump lashed out by calling the governor "very weak on immigration" and tweeting she was embarrassment to the state.
She responded in a tweet: "Bless your heart", which is often viewed as condescending dismissal in the South. | South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has been picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be US envoy to the United Nations. |
Can you provide a summary of this content? | Sam Allardyce has held talks with the FA about replacing Roy Hodgson, who quit after England exited Euro 2016 in the last 16 to Iceland.
Gerrard, capped 114 times, said that pressure from the media created "huge fear" among the players.
But the 36-year-old insisted "it won't be long before fans are smiling again".
Sunderland manager Allardyce is favourite for the role, with Hull City saying on Thursday no approach has been made for another rumoured candidate, Steve Bruce.
Allardyce, 61, has not returned to the club's training camp in Austria after talks on Tuesday, but is said to be working on transfers from his desk.
United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe have also been linked with the post.
Regardless of who gets the job, ex-Liverpool captain Gerrard - now at LA Galaxy - has "every confidence" that the national team can take it "to the next level".
He told Laduma: "The FA and the players and the new staff coming in will get it right. It will improve and it won't be too long before the fans are smiling again.
"This experience and this hurt will help all of those players moving forward because they won't want to experience it again.
"There's a huge fear amongst the group at the moment. The expectations are very, very high. But they will be used to it in years to come."
Four goals in the final 20 minutes had fans streaming out of Molineux, and Zenga was angry with the way his players performed after going 2-0 down.
"At that moment, I saw something I never want to see again in my life. The players give up," he told BBC WM.
"It is not acceptable. This is a big lesson also for me."
Wolves' biggest home reverse since a 5-0 Premier League loss against Manchester United in March 2012, was their worst at second-tier level since a 6-0 defeat by Southampton in March 2007, when the visitors only had five shots on target, but also scored from an own goal.
Although the goals came late for Barnsley, Wolves were comprehensively outplayed by a promoted side containing two of their former players, the impressive Adam Hammill and Sam Winnall.
"In the first half, we played very bad," added Zenga. "We had a lot of players out of the game, which affected our performance. We changed something and tried to become more effective. But we were without fight.
"I'm shocked at the result, at how we played, I'm shocked at everything. It is a shame for the fans, for the club. It is not a result Wolves want at home."
Having cancelled the players' expected day off, Zenga's immediate response was to "analyse" the performance with his squad.
Wolves now face successive away matches at Rafa Benitez's in-form Newcastle - on Saturday in the Championship, then next Tuesday night in the EFL Cup - as they look to end a run of one point from three matches.
Wolves began the season with eight points from four games, largely with last season's squad, before Zenga started to rotate his players after a glut of August transfer window signings.
Having made seven changes for Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Burton Albion, the manager made five more against Barnsley.
Police said incidents outside Cwmfelin Primary School, Bridgend county, had increased over recent months.
There had also been verbal abuse at those carrying out the patrols.

Uganda: "One of the best places to be a refugee"
Sir Richard said the numbers of immigrants coming into Europe over the next five years could run into millions.
The crisis could reshape the continent's geopolitical landscape, he said.
"If Europe cannot act together to persuade a significant majority of its citizens that it can gain control of its migratory crisis then the EU will find itself at the mercy of a populist uprising, which is already stirring," he added.
He described the UK referendum on leaving the EU as "the first roll of the dice in a bigger geopolitical game".
Sir Richard warned against a deal with Turkey to allow visa-free travel to the EU to its citizens in exchange for controlling migration to the EU.
He said it was "perverse, like storing gasoline next to the fire we're trying to extinguish".
Talks between the Turkey and the EU over the deal have currently stalled over the former's refusal to amend its anti-terror laws.
The former head of MI6, which gathers intelligence abroad for the UK government, said €1.8bn (£1.4bn) allocated by the EU to address the root causes of migration in Africa made "much more sense" than a deal with Turkey but was not nearly enough.
The only answer was a "massive response" of this kind combined with a "much more aggressive operation along the North African coast", he added.
But Sir Richard cautioned against shutting the door on migration altogether.
"In the real world there are no miraculous James Bond-style solutions," he said. "...Human tides are irresistible unless the gravitational pull that causes them is removed."
Speaking earlier in the day, Ms Jolie Pitt said that more than 60 million people - one in 122 - were displaced globally - more than at any time in the past 70 years.
"This tells us something deeply worrying about the peace and security of the world," she said, adding: "The average time a person will be displaced is now nearly 20 years."
Ms Jolie Pitt said the "number of conflicts and scale of displacement had grown so large" the system to protect and return refugees was not working.
Save the Children is calling for greater international commitment to ensure child refugees remain in school.
The charity's new report, A New Deal for Refugees, says only one in four refugee children is now enrolled in secondary school.
It is calling on governments and aid agencies to adopt a new policy framework that will ensure no refugee child remains out of school for more than a month.
It is an ambitious target but there is growing concern that this migration crisis is producing a lost generation of children which means conditions for even greater insecurity and poverty.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Camran Green, 17, originally from Wednesbury, West Midlands, was knifed in the stomach at an address in Shakespeare Road on 2 October.
Bristol Crown Court heard Steven Sharpe, 31, from Cheltenham planned to rob Mr Green of money. Sharpe pleaded guilty to the murder.
He also admitted assaulting three police detention officers.
The judge told Sharpe he must serve a minimum of 24 years and six months of his life sentence.
The court was told Mr Green travelled to Gloucestershire to supply drugs through the so-called "county lines" drugs network.
Sharpe was said to have been high on heroin and cocaine at the time and planned to rob Mr Green of his takings.
The robbery went wrong and Sharpe stabbed Mr Green a single time in the body with a 14in blade.
The weapon was described by the prosecution as being a hunting knife or a "Rambo" knife.
Sharpe fled the scene on his bike and evaded police for three days until his arrest on 5 October.
Gloucestershire Police said when Sharpe was taken into custody, he spat at and assaulted three police detention officers.
Jurors were told Mr Green was under the care of social services at the time of his death and had been in foster care.
Det Ch Insp Ruth Mather said: "Drug gangs from big cities have been using vulnerable young men on a frequent basis as drug runners in smaller towns to do their dirty work for them.

"However, we are fully committed to learning any lessons that come out of the serious case review."
The pair batted through the final day in a stand of 226 as the home side reached 420-5, 159 runs ahead of the visitors.
Ingram's marathon near 10-hour knock saw him reach a county-best 155 not out, while Cooke was unbeaten on 113.
Nottinghamshire stay top of Division Two thanks to a 12-point haul.
England spinner Samit Patel came close to bowling Ingram three times either side of his century, but there was little assistance from the pitch for their willing seam attack.
Ingram's century was the slowest in the Championship this season off 294 balls, in sharp contrast to his huge hitting in the One-Day Cup.
The pair came together half an hour before the end of day three and Cooke also reached three figures shortly after tea on the final day, not giving a chance in his equally gritty innings.
The sixth-wicket partnership was Glamorgan's highest against Nottinghamshire, beating 131 from Peter Walker and Don Ward in Newport in 1961, and was approaching the all-time record of 240 when the teams shook hands on a draw at 16:50 BST.
Glamorgan's Colin Ingram told BBC Wales Sport:
"It's quite strange, while you're out there you get on with it ball by ball and you're in the moment, but looking back it was a long couple of days and we can be proud of what we've done. It is my longest innings but once you're out there, you keep it simple.
"I really enjoyed the partnership with Chris and the longer we went on, that process became easier. But we still want to get on the winning side and maybe this is what we need to change momentum for us."
Chris Cooke added:
"It was good to get through the tricky spell last night with Colin, it gave us momentum going into the last day and it was just about (setting) small targets.
"Getting to lunch was important and from there the belief started to grow, they kept running in but we were up to the task."
Nottinghamshire acting captain Steven Mullaney told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"From my point of view the bowlers have everything and it was an outstanding effort, but hats off to Colin Ingram and Chris Cooke who did really well.
"We've had more luck (on other occasions), Samit Patel was outstanding without any luck.
"We welcome 12 points and we're still top of the league so we can't complain." | The killer of a teenager stabbed in Cheltenham has been handed a minimum jail term of more than 24 years.

What is the summary of the following article? | As part of the right, employees can expect their request to be considered "in a reasonable manner" by employers.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said 20 million people now had the right to ask to work flexibly.
Unions and employment groups welcomed the move.
The change in the law, which affects everyone with more than six months' service, comes less than a week after the government said it would ban employers from stopping staff with zero-hours contracts - under which employees' hours are not guaranteed - seeking extra work elsewhere.
The government expects the extension of flexible working rights to be of particular interest to older workers approaching retirement and to young workers looking for additional training while they work.
"Modern businesses know that flexible working boosts productivity and staff morale, and helps them keep their top talent so that they can grow," said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
"It's about time we brought working practices bang up-to-date with the needs, and choices, of our modern families."
The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development said the change in the law was recognition of the growing importance of flexible working for both employees and employers.
"Employers increasingly recognise the strong business case for flexible working, including enhanced employee engagement and the attraction and retention of a more diverse workforce," said the institute's chief executive Susannah Clements.
The TUC welcomed the move, but said more needed to be done to ensure that employees' requests were given fair consideration.
"When you make a flexible working request you also need a fair hearing, so we should improve things further by giving people a right to challenge an employer's reason for rejecting a request," said the TUC's general secretary Frances O'Grady.
Many businesses already offer flexible working to their staff.
"We know from our own membership that more than three quarters of our members offer flexible working but there will be a small number of small businesses who just will not be able to do that, whether it's through cost or just from balancing their teams," Liesl Smith from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) told the BBC.
The FSB has expressed concerns about the additional administrative burden the right to request flexible working might place on small businesses.
It has said the right could introduce a "negative dynamic" into the workplace, particularly in the case of unsuccessful requests.
The 70,000 sq ft development had been on the market with an asking price of £5.75m.
Wirefox plans to redevelop the site in the near future to provide Grade A office accommodation.
In 2015, the company bought another office building on Corporation Street in Belfast for almost £5m.
Steven Flannery, the firm's director of investments, said there was "a market requirement" for more grade A space and the firm would "play its part" in supplying it.
Grade A space is new or refurbished open-plan buildings in prime locations.
Very little grade A space has been developed in Belfast since the property crash.
Wirefox is based in Holywood and is controlled by the businessman BJ Eastwood.
Last year, the firm bought substantial housing development lands near Lisburn in County Antrim.

A study published in the Journal of Education and Work suggests that better-informed teenagers are likely to make more advantageous career choices.
It measures the earnings benefit as an extra £2,000 per year for every six careers sessions when aged 14 to 15.
Researchers used the British Cohort Study tracking 17,000 people.
The research, commissioned by the Education and Employers charity, found that once other factors were taken into account, such as exam results and economic background, there were higher earnings for those who had received sustained careers advice in school.
The study, by Christian Percy and Elnaz Kashefpakdela from the University of Bath, used data from the British Cohort Study which has been tracking the health, wealth and education of people since 1970.
It concluded that there was a long-lasting employment impact from careers talks and lessons.
Where there were "higher levels of employer contacts, in the form of careers talks with outside speakers", researchers found that this was linked to higher returns in the labour market.
They concluded that getting careers information and meeting employers in school had a "meaningful and statistically significant impact on later earnings".
Anthony Mann, director of policy and research for Education and Employers, said: "Other well-known studies have highlighted the benefits of employer engagement, but never before have we had such a robust analysis drawing on such rich data."
Nick Soar, head teacher at Bishop Challoner Catholic Federation in east London, backed the benefits of outside speakers from industry.
"The pupils love it. They ask endless questions and you can see it really brings home to them what they need to do to succeed in the workplace," he said.
CBI president Paul Drechsler said: "This report makes clear the importance and impact of great careers insights and advice from people in the business world."
Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's education director, said the study provided evidence for how "career education translates into measurable earnings advantages".
Education and Childcare Minister Sam Gyimah said the research "provides further evidence of the positive impact an employer can have on a young person's future career".
Kathryn Smith, 23, was sentenced in April to 24 years for the murder of 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith.
She was attacked by two inmates at HMP Foston Hall women's prison in Derbyshire last month.
Derbyshire Police said: "Officers visited the victim, who suffered minor injuries and the matter is being dealt with by the prison."
More on Kathryn Smith attack and updates from Stoke & Staffordshire
"There is no evidence a weapon was used... and the prison began disciplinary action against those involved," said a spokesman for the Prison Service.
Smith's former partner, Matthew Rigby, 22, was jailed for three years and six months after being found guilty of causing or allowing Ayeeshia's death.
Ayeeshia collapsed at her mother's flat in Britannia Drive, in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire in May 2014.
Her heart had ripped due to the force of a fatal blow - a type of injury usually only found in crash victims.
But she had suffered many other injuries, including a bleed on the brain, in the months before she was killed.
Ayeeshia was known to social services at Derbyshire County Council all her life.
Her pregnant mother was found living in a garage in Overseal before being moved into supported housing in nearby Swadlincote.
Her father, Ricky Booth, said he had "made calls to social services several weeks before AJ died warning them that she was at "serious risk".
A serious case review is being carried out by the Derbyshire safeguarding children's board.

The charge for single-use carriers has also raised about £6.7m for good causes in the past 12 months.
Scotland's Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead hailed the 5p charge a "major success", and thanked Scotland for "embracing the policy".
650m -
Fewer carrier bags in 2014/15
80% - Drop in bags handed out by Morrisons, the Co-operative, Waitrose and Boots
90% - Drop in bags handed out by Asda
100% - Drop in bags handed out by Sainsbury's
He added: "Previously, statistics showed that people in Scotland used more than 800 million new single-use carrier bags every single year - more per head than anywhere else in the UK.
"It's now becoming second nature to shoppers to reuse their carrier bags and hopefully to think more about our impact on the environment."
Morrisons, the Co-operative, Waitrose and Boots have all reported an estimated 80% reduction in carrier bag use, with Asda witnessing a drop of 90% and Sainsbury's 100% as it no longer offers them to shoppers.
In 2011, Wales was the first nation in the UK to introduce a bag charge. Northern Ireland followed in April 2013.
The policy came into being in Scotland on 20 October last year and England introduced charging at the beginning of this month.
Scottish government research concludes that a reduction of 650 million bags north of the border means a net saving of more than 4,000 tonnes of plastic and other materials each year.
That is the equivalent of more than 500 million single-use carrier bags once it is offset by estimated increases in other forms of plastic bag, such as bags for life.
The net carbon saving is more than 2,500 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually.
All retailers are being urged to sign up to Scotland's carrier bag commitment, an agreement to disclose information on the charge and donations made to good causes.
Lang Banks, director of WWF Scotland, said it was really great to see how successful the initiative had been.
He added: "Before the charge Scotland consumed a staggering 800 million carrier bags every year, many of which ended up polluting our environment and threatening wildlife.
"As an additional benefit, less resource use also means fewer carbon emissions."
An Irish tricolour and another flag appeared on flag poles over Parliament Buildings for a time on Wednesday.
Contractors working at Parliament Buildings have been asked for a report by the assembly authorities.
The contractors are working on the site renovating parts of the roof and fourth floor.
The assembly said that the flags were removed as soon as it was made aware of them.
Speaker Mitchel McLaughlin briefed members of the Assembly Commission on Thursday about the incident and confirmed that the assembly would suspend any investigation as a police investigation is ongoing.
The move was criticised by DUP assembly member Paula Bradley who is a member of the Assembly Commission.
"The assembly is attempting to hide behind the ongoing police investigation to delay any proper investigation into the obvious security breakdown which allowed someone to erect an unauthorised flag on Parliament Buildings," she said.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness has described the fallout as "much ado about nothing".
"I think we have far greater problems to deal with," the deputy first minister said.
"I would prefer to keep the focus on trying to find a way forward so that we can continue to deliver for all of the people that we represent."
However, Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott said people should respect Northern Ireland's constitutional position.
"Clearly, what we want to make sure of is that people respect the constitutional position of Northern Ireland.
"Maybe it was a prank. If people come forward and accept what they did, that would be possible."

"The previous day, I went up to Stormont to do my work and there were two union flags. I didn't get palpitations," he said.

What is the summary of the following document? | The 27-year-old Welshman, who arrived in late March, scored 32 points in the last four Pro 12 games.
Tovey said: "Having the opportunity to come up to Edinburgh and play some rugby was definitely the right move for me and I'm loving it here.
"I couldn't have asked for more from the boys over the last six weeks."
After a winning debut against Zebre, Tovey was unable to prevent Edinburgh slipping to defeat in their final three matches against Munster, Leinster and Cardiff Blues to finish ninth, one place lower than the last two seasons.
Head coach Alan Solomons has instilled a structured style of rugby in the capital, spearheaded by a fearsome pack, a robust set-piece and a strong defence but without a great deal of attacking flair.
Edinburgh only managed to claim a try bonus-point - for scoring four or more in a game - twice this season, crossing the whitewash on a total of 41 occasions.
"That's something we've got to look to bring into our game and start scoring a lot more tries," Tovey said.
"I think the last couple of weeks of the season we tried to change a bit, tried to play a different brand of rugby.
"But there's certain times where we've got to go back to that style and use our big heavy pack and I'm sure pre-season will come and we'll try and mix it up a bit more.
"That comes down to nine and 10 - they're the ones controlling it."
Tovey will compete for the number 10 jersey with Scotland fly-half Duncan Weir, who is joining from Glasgow Warriors.
Weir could be absent for chunks of the season on international duty and there is likely to be a preference in the Scotland camp for the native man to start.
However, Tovey says he's comfortable playing at full-back if required but will face competition there from impressive youngster Blair Kinghorn and Glenn Bryce, another new signing from Glasgow.
"He's a Scottish international, so it's always nice to have two 10s," Tovey said of Weir. "Hopefully both playing well at the same time, creating competition and getting the best out of each other.
"I'm not too sure about playing 12. I started off my career at full-back, so there'd be no dramas there, but Blair Kinghorn this season's been great and we've got Glenn Bryce coming in as well - two quality full-backs."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the party was now "mainstream with commonsense policies".
But Mr McDonnell went on to insist that austerity was a political choice which Labour would not accept.
He said a Labour government would "invest in the long term in the economy" and "make sure that prosperity is shared by all".
The comments came a day after Mr McDonnell gave a speech setting out how Labour would control public spending through a "fiscal credibility" lock, under which day-to-day government spending would not exceed income.
Asked by Today whether this meant an end to tax-and-spend, Mr McDonnell replied: "It does really. We're going to break way from that old shibboleth.
"We're about managing the economy effectively, and actually that's what socialism is all about."
Responding to his remarks on Friday, the Conservative party said Labour had a history of spending and borrowing too much.
Some Labour figures said Mr McDonnell's policy was scarcely different from what the party had offered at the last election.
Mr McDonnell's latest comments come four days before the Budget, in which Chancellor George Osborne is widely expected to confirm the UK's economic performance has deteriorated in recent months and announce further spending cuts to reduce the deficit, forecast to be £73.5bn this year.
Commentators say Labour is under pressure to demonstrate it can be trusted on the economy after its election defeat, which was widely blamed on a failure to convince the public it had a plan to control public spending and borrowing, boost growth and raise living standards.
Mr McDonnell said under a Labour government borrowing would fund investment in new skills, infrastructure and technology.
Challenged over whether as chancellor he would be prepared to cut spending, Mr McDonnell said: "I will be absolutely ruthless about how we manage our spending... It's not about cutting, it's about making sure you spend the money wisely." | Fly-half Jason Tovey has signed a two-year contract with Edinburgh until May 2018 after a loan spell from Newport Gwent Dragons.

Myler converted James Wilson's try to reduce the margin to seven points.

Dan Murphy then went in for the hosts, Wilson grabbed a second and Myler and Laidlaw traded penalties before Manoa crucially touched down.
Northampton's Premiership lead was cut to nine points, with Exeter Chiefs thrashing bottom side London Welsh 74-19 to go second.
The draw saw Gloucester slip to ninth, 11 points adrift of fourth-placed Saracens, who face fellow play-off hopefuls Wasps on Sunday.
Once-capped England fly-half Myler marked his 148th and club-record setting Premiership appearance with two kicks for the competition pacesetters early on.
However, the lead was short lived with Laidlaw teeing up three penalties in response to put the hosts 9-6 up on 21 minutes.
Both sides seemed to thrive in the sunny and unseasonably warm conditions at Kingsholm.
James Hook orchestrated the game's first try, beating three Saints players before angling an expertly weighted kick out to the right where Sharples collected to cross over. Laidlaw added the extras to make it 16-6.
The try added even greater impetus to the Cherry and Whites' attack, with Sharples almost dashing in for a second before Hibbard was kept out by Alex Corbisiero.
Hibbard's wait to touchdown was short lived, with the hooker making the most of their one-man advantage following James Wilson's yellow card, peeling off the back of a maul to crash over.

Myler slotted his third penalty with the last act of the first-half, then cut the deficit further by adding the extras after Wilson eased over for the first of two tries in six second-half minutes.
A break from Steve McColl set the foundations for Gloucester's third score, with Murphy stretching out to add to the home side's advantage, only for some superb handling from of Manoa and wing Jamie Elliott sending Wilson over again soon after.
Myler followed up his second conversation with his fourth penalty, having missed an earlier straight-forward attempt, to reduce the gap to four points with more than 22 minutes remaining.
Gloucester thought they had sealed the win six minutes from time when substitute Henry Purdy crossed out wide, but the try was disallowed for an infringement during the build-up.
Still Laidlaw edged the hosts further ahead, but it proved too little as Myler secured a share of the spoils following Manoa's dramatic late effort.
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"I think it'll not be for a couple of days when we get a chance to sit down and review it that we'll be able to take a huge number of positives from that and from the way we played.
"We're still searching for that 80-minute performance that will allow us to win games against the top teams.
"With a 23-9 lead, we've got to control the momentum and pace of the game, so maybe that was the time to slow it down.
"It's really the first time we've been in that position and I've no doubt we'll learn from that as a group."
Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"We showed what a good side we are in that second half. We talked about getting our balance right, and we played some good rugby.
"We got two cracking tries out wide from James Wilson, then to be able to go to the maul at the death and get that score just shows we have got threats all over the field.
"You can't come down to Kingsholm and play as we did in the first-half. They are a proud team and it is a proud rugby city, and we made some fundamental mistakes in terms of our game-management."

With West Indies needing 19 runs off the last over, you would be backing England as the bowling side to win.
For Carlos Brathwaite to hit Ben Stokes for four sixes from the first four balls of that over was unbelievable.
It left England desolate and Stokes utterly devastated.
Perhaps the Durham all-rounder could have bowled those deliveries in a better place, but this is serious pressure at the end of a World Cup final. All you can do is applaud Brathwaite and admit that it was very, very special.
What Twenty20 cricket does is demand a very cool mind - an assassin's mind - because just one ball is crucial. It is such a short game and you have to be so incredibly focused.
On this day it was Brathwaite who was able to step in and bat like that. It was how maybe Viv Richards could have done it 30 years ago, but I'd be surprised if I ever see something like that again.
It was a really good game of cricket. It just goes to show what can happen with the extra tension and pressure of a final.
England were 30 runs short with their 155-9 and when Joe Root was out in the 15th over with them at 111-7, you thought that was them dead and buried.
You knew if England were going to have a chance they would have to take every catch going, get West Indies talisman Chris Gayle out straight away and be on it from the word go.
What they did was totally unexpected - beginning with Root opening the bowling.
It was almost a pride thing for the West Indies. To have Root bowling at them, they would have been wondering what was going on and they duly slogged the ball up in the air.
Stokes held two really good, really important catches out in the deep and England were away. The pressure was on.
It it is a final and it doesn't matter who you are, chasing runs to win a final brings an inherent pressure. Unless, that is, your name is Carlos Brathwaite.
This team, despite being 30 runs short, had the character to take the game as deep as they did. And they could have won it but from some outrageous hitting at the end.
England have learned that they can win a game from even the most dire of positions. Halfway through Sunday's game it was pretty dire, but they didn't give up.
They have taken a battering. The trophy was wrestled away from them in two minutes so they will be devastated.
However, those with cooler heads - head coach Trevor Bayliss in particular - will realise that they have done extremely well to even be competing in that final over and be in with a chance of winning the match.
It shows that this team has an awful lot of character.
Unfortunately for Stokes, whenever there is a World Twenty20, that final over will be shown. For as long as he is playing T20 cricket, it will be flying around. He will have to get over it.
He is a very competitive and strong-willed and he is a very talented cricket. He will get over it, but it will take a while.
Maybe one day when he is retired, he will think he has been involved in something pretty special at Eden Gardens, but it will take a long time to get there.
It is really good for West Indies cricket that their men and women have both won their respective World T20 competitions. Cricket over there is flagging and this is a real shot in the arm.
What we would all like to see is this enthusiasm for T20 cricket born again in their Test cricket.
Not many of these players play Test cricket, which is a real shame, but there needs to be this life, fun and determination in the longer form of the game.
It is down to their coach Phil Simmons to make sure this does carry over because there is nothing better than West Indies cricket when it is smiling - it is a wonderful and happy thing.
It is unique and special and it needs to thrive. They must seize the moment.

Arafat, who has a UK passport, returns to Taunton after playing for Somerset in their 2013 Twenty20 campaign.
"We are absolutely delighted to have secured the services of another world-class player," said director of cricket Matt Maynard.
"Hampshire signed Reece Topley from Essex and felt Yasir would not play a huge amount for them. The agreement was reached, it works well for both parties and there is no recall from them either," hetold BBC Radio Bristol.
"We are really pleased Yasir is returning. He made quite an impression when he was last here and we are looking forward to seeing him do what he does best in a Somerset shirt."

Give a concise summary of the following information. | Action on Sugar found many children's juices contain at least six teaspoons of sugar - more than cola - and come in cartons larger than recommended.
Official advice currently says a 150ml glass of unsweetened fruit juice counts towards your five a day.
Other juice drinks, such as squash and sweetened juice, do not.
A smoothie containing all the edible pulped fruit or vegetable may count as more than one five-a-day portion, but this depends on the quantity of fruits or vegetables or juice used, as well as how the smoothie has been made.
Action on Sugar says the guidelines are baffling.
But Public Health England says the advice is sound and that consuming five or more portions a day helps reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
Nutritionist Kawther Hashem said: "Parents do not always understand the difference between a juice drink and a fruit juice. And most cartons come in 200ml or more.
"Many parents are still buying fruit juices and juice drinks for their children thinking they are choosing healthy products; children should be given as little juice as possible."
She said juice should be an occasional treat, not an everyday drink.
This is something that has been echoed by government adviser and Oxford professor Susan Jebb.
She is concerned about parents using fruit juice as "routine rehydration" for their children.
"Water is the best way to get the fluid that we need in the diet," she says.
Sugars are released from fruit when it is juiced or blended, and these sugars can cause damage to teeth and contribute to weight gain.
Added sugars shouldn't make up more than 10% of the energy (calorie intake) you get from food and drink each day - or about 12 teaspoons - according to government guidelines.
It's not clear how much children should have.
The World Health Organization recently issued guidelines suggesting that cutting the amount of sugar we eat from the current recommended limit of 10% of daily energy intake to 5% would be beneficial.
The British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) said fruit juice consumption in the UK equated to an average of just 45ml per person per day - accounting for 1% of the calories in the average British diet.
"Given government figures show that the vast majority of adults and children are not getting their recommended five fruit and veg a day it is unfortunate this survey omits to mention the established health benefits of fruit juice, such as vitamin C," BSDA director-general Gavin Partington said.
Dr Alison Tedstone, of Public Health England, said: "Fruit juice is a useful contribution towards our five a day, however, because the process of juicing releases sugars from the fruit we recommend that you try to limit your fruit juice to 150ml a day, including that from smoothies and only consume these and other sugary drinks with meals to reduce the risk of tooth decay." | Fruit juice should be removed from the recommended list of healthy things to eat daily because it is confusing for parents, say campaigners. |
What is the summary of the given information? | Niko Kranjcar's free-kick cancelled out Valere Germain's opener for the visitors at Ibrox on Saturday.
Bruno Alves and Graham Dorrans were among the summer signings that featured for the Ibrox outfit.
"I really liked the team, especially in the first half or the first hour of the game," Caixinha told Rangers TV.
"They were really compact and controlled the game, and understood how to face a team like that.
"The only thing we were missing, like all the games we have played so far, was the definition. We created a lot of chances but we could not score."
Rangers' season started with an aggregate defeat to Luxembourg side Progres Niederkorn in the Europa League qualifiers.
As such, they will not play competitively again until their Premiership opener against Motherwell at Fir Park on 6 August, with Scotland's European representatives not playing in the ongoing Scottish League Cup first round and instead entering in the second round.
Experienced defender Alves did not feature against Progres as he was on international duty with Portugal and Scotland midfielder Dorrans joined the Ibrox side after the first qualifying round defeat.

Summarize the provided information. | Rohan Beyts is accusing the company of breaching data protection law by filming her without her permission or notice.
She claims she was filmed by male employees as she urinated in sand dunes while out walking at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire a year ago.
Trump International has denied the claims.
The company was run by Donald Trump before he became the US president.
Ms Beyts told the court in Edinburgh that she had gone walking with a friend in April last year and had to pass through the Trump International Golf Club to get access to the beach.
The 62-year-old said that while on the beach she had gone into the dunes after realising that, due to a medical condition, she needed the toilet urgently.
She said she had taken notice of Mountaineering Scotland's guidelines for what to do if you need to urinate outside, and that she would have been horrified if anyone had seen her.
Ms Beyts, from Montrose in Angus, told the court: "I needed to go as a matter of urgency. I was crouching down in the dune area. I was covered by Marram grass once I crouched down.
"There was no golfers visible."
The retired social worker also said the civil action was about a "mixture of things."
She added: "Don't be intimidated. Please exercise your right to roam. And it's about not being bullied. I feel being filmed secretly is a bullying act."
Three days after the incident, police officers arrived at her house to charge her with urinating in a public place that could cause annoyance.
After speaking to police on a further occasion, she was told three men had mobile phone footage of her urinating.
The court also heard from the golf course irrigation technician who said he had taken a photograph with his mobile phone of Ms Beyts urinating.
But Edward Irvine, 23, said he had not filmed Ms Beyts.
He added: "I took her picture for evidence that she was urinating in a public place. I believed that it was a criminal offence to do that."
Mr Irvine then gave a statement about what he had witnessed to a police officer.
The green keeper also told the court that he had seen golfers urinating on the course. He said those golfers went into bushes before going to the toilet.
He said Ms Beyts did not do this and he was able to photograph her.
Ms Beyts was reported to the procurator fiscal, but no action was taken against her. She in turn launched a claim for damages against Trump International.
The hearing continues.
Yvonne Blackman, 66, was seriously hurt in the accident involving her car, a van and a lorry on the A75 on 8 February.

The flaw was limited to Android Lollipop, the most recent version of the mobile operating system.
Google issued a patch for its Nexus devices on Wednesday.
About 21% of Android users run affected versions of the operating system.
After crashing the lock screen, the researchers were able to access the phone's data and apps.
The vulnerability could not be exploited if people had chosen a lock pattern or Pin code instead of a password.

Tane Takulua's try gave the visitors an early lead, but Rob Buchanan and Mike Brown crossed to put Quins in front.
Joe Marchant intercepted Joel Hodgson's pass to go over before the break, with Newcastle down to 14 men after Juan Pablo Socino was shown a yellow card.
Marland Yarde, Mat Luamanu, Danny Care and Tim Swiel added tries in the second half as the hosts earned a bonus point.
Nick Evans was perfect with his conversions and kicked two penalties to close to within seven points of Olly Barkley in fourth on the all-time Premiership points-scoring chart.
Quins were bolstered by the return of a number of international players from Six Nations duty, while former England captain Chris Robshaw also made his return after 12 weeks out with a shoulder injury.
Victory left the hosts sixth in the table, only one point behind fifth-placed Bath, but they face a challenging end to the season with games against all of the top three sides in their final four games.
Newcastle stay ninth in the table, having lost three consecutive games.
The Falcons also saw Rob Vickers taken off in the first half with a head injury, while Evan Olmstead became the second player to be sent to the sin-bin after the break on a miserable day for the visitors.
Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston: "For me the biggest thing today was about reintegrating the group back together from the injuries and the internationals.
"Mike Brown rightly gets the attention with the man of the match but there were several other players who could've taken that mantle."
Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards: "With the England boys coming back, they had a point to prove after the Ireland game - had they won it might've been different but they had a point to prove.
"The team they left behind had been faring very well and doing really well so it probably was the wrong time to catch Harlequins.
"But having said that we still gifted them so many points on the day and that's probably the most frustrating thing."

Summarize the provided section. | The epicentre of the quake struck the city of Cushing, about 50 miles (80km) north-east of Oklahoma City, at 19:44 local time (01:44 GMT Monday).
Tremors were felt as far away as Texas, and schools have closed in Cushing.
Authorities in Cushing reported that at least 40 buildings were damaged. No one was seriously injured.
Photographs posted on Twitter showed debris scattered alongside commercial buildings in the city.
There have been 19 earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past week, according to data provided by the US Geological Survey.
In September, a magnitude 5.6 quake in the state fuelled concerns that seismic activity in the area was connected to energy production.
In 2013, scientists linked the underground injection of oil drilling wastewater to a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that struck Oklahoma in 2011.
Cushing, which has a population of about 7,900, is home to one of the largest oil storage facilities in the US. No damage was reported there.
Uihlein carded a second consecutive four-under 67 at Le Golf National.
Otaegui set the early clubhouse target with a superb five-under 66, before an afternoon thunderstorm led to a delay of two hours and five minutes.

The South African sides Cheetahs and Southern Kings will join the league after losing their Super Rugby status.
The six-year deal is likely to benefit the league to the tune of an extra £6m per season from the South African Rugby Union and additional television income.
All elements of the deal have been agreed and, once legally ratified, could be formally announced next week.
The new Pro14 league will kick-off in the first week of September and will comprise two conferences of seven teams. Each conference will have one Scottish side, one South African side, one Italian side and two each from Wales and Ireland.
The current preference is for two conferences of seven teams playing each other home and away. Within this format, the teams would also play one game against all the sides from the other conference, which would deliver 19 fixtures.
Additionally, each club would also play home and away derby fixtures as well, providing a total of 21 league games. However, other formats are also being discussed.
The winners of each conference will qualify automatically for the semi-finals, while the teams placed in second and third in each conference will be drawn together in play-offs for the remaining two semi-final places.
The Pro12 currently raises around £12m in television revenues, meaning the addition of the two South African sides represents a significant uplift as the Scottish, Irish and Welsh rugby unions try to bridge the financial gap to the English Premiership and French Top 14 teams.
The increase equates to around £500,000 in additional income per season for the existing Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Italian sides in the Pro12.
The Cheetahs and the Southern Kings are the weakest of South Africa's Super Rugby teams, and they were cut from next season's competition, opening the way for the move to join the Pro12.
One of the anticipated clauses for the deal is that the two franchises will commit to strengthening their squads, to ensure the competitive nature of the competition is protected.

Summarize the provided information. | He landed in Miami, after being escorted to the airport in Guatemala City and placed on board an American Airlines flight.
Mr McAfee said before leaving he was "perfectly happy with the decision".
He was detained a week ago after fleeing from Belize, where he is wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of a neighbour.
The 67-year-old has denied any role in the killing. The authorities in Belize say he is not a suspect in the investigation.
He has spent more than a month on the run with his girlfriend, blogging about his exploits.
As he left Guatemala City, Mr McAfee said he was happy to be going home.
"I've been running through jungles and rivers and oceans and I think I need to rest for a while. And I've been in jail for seven days," he said.
He said he had no immediate plans when he reached Florida, only that he was going "to hang in Miami for a while".
Passengers on the same flight as Mr McAfee said that he had been taken off the plane before everyone else.
A spokesman for Miami International Airport said he would be escorted by federal authorities after clearing customs. It was not immediately clear where he was heading or what his legal status was.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television ahead of his departure, Mr McAfee said he wanted to apologise to the Guatemalan president for putting him in an awkward position during negotiations on a territorial dispute with Belize.
His lawyers blocked an extradition request from Belize, where he has been named a "person of interest" in the murder of Florida businessman Gregory Faull.
Mr McAfee says he is happy to talk to Belize police but did not want to be remanded in their custody.
He claims he is being persecuted by the authorities in Belize, whom he accuses of corruption.
Belize Prime Minister Dean Barrow had a more prosaic explanation: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers."
Belize police spokesman Raphael Martinez said Belize's extradition treaty with the US extended only to suspected criminals, a designation that did not currently apply to Mr McAfee.
"Right now, we don't have enough information to change his status from person of interest to suspect," he said.
After making his fortune from the anti-virus software which bears his name, Mr McAfee has lived an eccentric life, funding start-ups, flying small planes low over the desert, and most recently, attempting to synthesise antibiotics from jungle plants in Belize. | The software tycoon John McAfee has arrived in the United States after being deported by Guatemala. |
Provide a brief summary of this section. | City lost to Arsenal on Thursday, three days after being told of the new date.
The tie was re-arranged after City were cleared of fielding an ineligible player, with the FA saying it might have lost the registration form.
"We're a professional football team trying to drive this game on and that's not good enough," said Cushing.
"On Monday morning when we gave the players the day off, we thought we had Notts County in six days.
"We play on Sunday to potentially win the league and, for certain, to grab a Champions League place.
"I would have liked the respect, and to have been honoured with five or six days' preparation for that.
"To put a quarter-final of a trophy, that we hold, in two days before it - personally, I think that's a little bit disrespectful."
A statement on the FA website said: "It was significant in the opinion of the management committee, that whilst the registration form could not be located and had not been processed, that written confirmation from the FA, in the form of email, had been received by Manchester City Women FC."
Cushing said that teams cannot win games on two days' preparation.
"I really feel for the players because this wasn't their doing," he added. "They wanted this Continental Cup. It's our trophy, and we wanted to retain it, but things were taken out of our hands."
Cushing's side could win the Women's Super League One title on Sunday, but must beat the Lady Magpies and hope that leaders Chelsea drop points in their final game against Sunderland.

A report in Science shows evidence from the Messenger spacecraft that craters in constant shadow host water.
A furtherpair of Science papers shows that much of the ice is beneath an insulating layer of dark material rich in organic and "volatile" molecules.
The findings may help explain how these ingredients first arrived on Earth.
Messenger was the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury, and since its arrival in March 2011 has been feeding back the best images of the planet that scientists have ever seen.
The principal evidence for water ice comes from the craft's "neutron spectrometer", which can detect the subatomic particle neutrons as they stream from Mercury.
"Neutrons are generated when cosmic rays hit a planet," Sean Solomon, Messenger principal investigator, explained to the Science podcast.
"Hydrogen is the best absorber of neutrons, so a neutron spectrometer looks for the signature of hydrogen near the surface by looking for decrease in the flux of neutrons coming from the planet."
This dip in the neutron count showed vast amounts of hydrogen in specific places at the planet's pole, consistent with deposits of water.
But further measurements using a laser and looking for reflections showed that much of the ice is covered with a layer of dark material tens of centimetres thick.
"The guess is that both the water and the dark material, which we think is organic-rich material, were delivered by the same objects impacting Mercury: some mixture of comets and the kinds of asteroids that are rich in organic and volatile material like water ice," Prof Solomon said.
"These are very common objects in the Solar System - we know many of them have orbits that bring them very close to the Sun."
Prof Solomon said that what Messenger finds not only unlocks secrets about the innermost planet in our Solar System, but could also shed light on those of other planets.
"The surprise that we received on making the first chemical measurements of Mercury was that none of the theories for how Mercury was assembled are correct," he said.
"So we're having to rewrite the books on how Mercury was assembled, and by implication how all the inner planets were assembled.
"The ice at the poles is only a recent chapter in that history but it's one that might be very informative." | Manchester City Women boss Nick Cushing labelled the Football Association "disrespectful" over the re-arranged Continental Cup quarter-final.

It was only his sixth league appearance of a season interrupted by knee, foot and hamstring injuries.

It has been reported that Sturridge, who has scored five goals in eight games in all competitions this term, wants to leave Anfield at the end of the season over criticism of his injury record.
"A lot gets said about him outside of our group," said midfielder Henderson.
"I know it hurts him and I know it is hard for him to take. He is doing things to try and get back.

Air ambulance services across the UK have each been awarded a share of £5m paid to the government in Libor fines levied on banks who tried to manipulate financial markets.
SCAA chairman John Bullough said the money would pay for new equipment.
He said the donation, to be used as capital funding, was "very welcome news".
Mr Bullough added: "The donation will be used to enhance and improve equipment and facilities, thereby enabling our generous public giving to be targeted at frontline operations.
"It costs £1.5m each year to keep SCAA flying and this Libor donation will help sustain our critical service, and comes at a really important time as air ambulances gear up for what is traditionally their busiest time of year."
Announcing the £5m of funding to the Association of Air Ambulance, Chancellor George Osborne said it would enable 20 "fantastic" teams across the UK to extend their flying hours and "play a vital role in helping to save hundreds of lives every year".
He added: "It is absolutely right that we use funds from those who demonstrated the worst values to reward those who demonstrate the best, like our hardworking air ambulance crews."

What is the summary of the following document? | The seven-part series, set in London, centres on two junior investigators - one from the Serious Fraud office and one from the police - brought together by two seemingly unrelated cases.
"We have to recognise that young people don't watch TV the way we did," Horowitz said. "It's very much in the spirit of New Blood that the show will premiere on iPlayer."
"I couldn't be happier that we're going to be 'out there' on demand - it's a great way to launch a show which is very much about the younger generation - before we settle into our seven-week, 9pm slot."
Newcomers Mark Strepan and Ben Tavassoli will play the roles of junior investigators Stefan and Rash, respectively.
They are joined in the cast by Mark Addy, as Rash's police detective colleague, and Anna Chancellor as Stefan's boss at the Serious Fraud Office.
New Blood is described as "a bold and surprising crime series" that "sets out to show a unique side of modern London through the eyes of two outsiders".
Charlotte Moore, controller of BBC Television and iPlayer said: "Anthony Horowitz is a master storyteller who has a unique ability to tell compelling stories that appeal to audiences of all ages.
"New Blood is the perfect fit to be the first prime time drama series to premiere on iPlayer and to help young audiences find a way to consume content online."
Horowitz's TV writing credits include Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Robin of Sherwood and Foyle's War.
He is the author of more than 40 books including the Alex Rider series of spy novels, and he resurrected Sherlock Holmes in his 2011 novel The House of Silk.

Winning Labour candidate Andy Sawford, claimed services at Kettering General could be downgraded.
The hospital's new 76-bed Foundation Wing will welcome its first patients this weekend.
Hospital management said the review of services was ongoing, but the new unit would improve healthcare provision.
The three-storey building features a paediatric outpatients' department with six consulting rooms, an integrated paediatric unit with 32 beds, an acute 28-bed cardiac ward and an intensive care unit with 16 beds.
During last year's by-election, Mr Sawford said Kettering could be downgraded as a result of a review into the organisation of five hospital and clinical commissioning groups in Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire.
Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates dismissed the claims as scaremongering and the NHS said there were no plans to downgrade Kettering, which also has an accident and emergency department.
Mr Sawford, speaking about the opening of the new wing, said: "There is still a big pressure on funding of hospitals across the region and I am still worried about the future of services at Kettering.
"I hope that by investing in new services here we can safeguard the future of this hospital."
The hospital said it had been in talks with Northampton General this year about sharing more services or a possible merger.
The NHS's new Nene and Corby clinical commissioning groups have yet to decide whether any re-organisation of services was needed in Northamptonshire as a result of last year's review.
Lorene Read, chief executive of Kettering General, said: "The Foundation Wing is a fantastic new development that will help us to significantly improve the care we offer for children, patients with heart problems and patients needing intensive care.
"If you look at the number of patients coming to this hospital and the hospitals around us, services are necessary here.
"Our population growth is quite significant, so we're always going to need a hospital at Kettering." | Anthony Horowitz's new crime series New Blood is to become the first prime time drama to premiere on BBC iPlayer ahead of transmission on BBC One.

Please summarize the following text. | The news that Italy's highest court had thrown out the case against Silvio Berlusconi for having sex with an under-age prostitute means that the man who puts a smile on the face of world news could soon be back.
As Mr Berlusconi's own party's anthem puts it, "Menomale che Silvio c'e" - roughly translated as "thank goodness for Silvio".
He still faces unfinished business in the courts - and a political landscape that is in some ways unrecognisable from that he left.
But his possible re-emergence from court-imposed purdah does offer a chance to look at the reality of his grip on the Italian psyche - and whether that hold is finally weakening.
My in-laws gave me the first insight into Silvio Berlusconi.
They had left the grinding poverty of 1960s Calabria, the toe of Italy's boot, to build a better life in London.
Aldo had been a cobbler. He was a kid during the hard days of Fascism and the war.
Never politically active, he had always voted Socialist.
But even Aldo - soft-hearted, honest, hard-working man that he was - could see the attraction of Mr Berlusconi.
You see, he had done what every Italian man of that generation dreamt of. He had become rich, he had power; he was flash and funny - and he had women, lots of them.
More than that, he had got away with it. He was, as the Italians put it, "furbo" - cunning. You didn't have to approve of him - but you couldn't help admiring his chutzpah.
Silvio Berlusconi was a constant during our ten years living just outside his hometown, Milan.
His political longevity speaks both to the poverty of Italian politics in those years and to his own zest for life and hunger for power.
Throughout that decade, the foreign media consistently focused on his tabloid antics, as he skipped cheekily round statues playing hide-and-seek with a less-than-amused Angela Merkel, or complimented Barack Obama on his suntan.
We chuckled guiltily; we frowned judgmentally in our patronising northern European way; once in a while, we felt genuinely horrified that such a man was the public face of his country.
But the truth is that if the world sees Mr Berlusconi refracted through the distorting lens of infotainment, he is happy to oblige.
He really does not care much what the outside world thinks - any more than his old friend, Vladimir Putin.
It also helps that, Italy being Italy rather than Russia, no-one outside really cares too much either.
"You want to sneer at us, to think of the world's eighth-biggest economy as a joke?" Mr Berlusconi seems to ask. "Go ahead.
"And if, instead, you want to continue seeing us through rose-tinted specs as a kind of kaleidoscopic theme park - one part Tuscany and Venice; the other the Mafia, Lotharios and pizza - then so be it.
"It all deflects attention from the sad reality; it all gives me more freedom to do what I want."
What gives this greater potency is the man's acknowledged mastery of the mass media.
It was Mr Berlusconi who brought game shows to Italian TV; who reinvented the television news; and who turned his favourite football team (AC Milan) into a potent political symbol.
In short, he knows how to press the buttons that get him attention and strike a chord with his compatriots.
But the future is more intriguing than the past; Italy, a work in progress. Immigration is changing the place.
Mr Berlusconi's mastery of the traditional mass media has been challenged by the rise of social media.
Already he has been given a lesson in its power by the Twitter-savvy activists of Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement.
And now, as Mr Berlusconi emerges, blinking, into a changed political landscape, he confronts a reality in which - finally - the old generational order is crumbling.
The geriarchs who dominated Italy since the Second World War have given way to the two Matteos: the prime minister, Matteo Renzi, 40, long suspected of being, however grudgingly, Mr Berlusconi's pick for the future; and the 42-year-old leader of the anti-immigration, anti-euro Northern League, Matteo Salvini.
Aldo, alas, is no longer with us.
His widow, Ines, still is - the toughest, most intelligent woman I've yet met.
When she was a young girl in her hometown, Castrovillari, a rat made the mistake of entering the kitchen.
Everyone else fled; not Ines.
Instead she shut the doors and chased it down with a broom.
Every now and then, I get a sense of how that rat must have felt.
But at 50 years and more than 2,000km distance from that blood-splattered kitchen, you will find it hard to get a sounder analysis of Mr Berlusconi's chances.
"Berlusconi," says Ines, "he's lucky. People liked him because he was rich - they thought he could do the same for them. Now they're not so sure.
"Renzi, he's young, he's clever and he's done well," she says.
"The economy is beginning to grow again.
"If he's lucky Berlusconi might come back. But he'll need to be lucky." | Those who like their politics spiced up with a smattering of scandal and farce must have heaved a collective sigh of relief this week. |
Please summarize the given passage. | Sunderland's Grindon Hall Christian School and Durham Free School were both rated inadequate following inspections in November.
The schools subsequently complained about the conduct of the inspectors.
Ofsted said no issues were raised during the inspections. A full investigation is under way.
Grindon Hall principal Chris Gray said the inspector's questioning was "hostile" and "inappropriate", claiming pupils were asked leading questions about homosexuality, race and other faiths.
In a statement, Ofsted said initial interviews with the three inspectors who visited the schools had found no evidence they acted incorrectly.
The statement said the allegations were serious but had not been raised with inspectors during the visits.
Ofsted said: "We have undertaken a detailed examination of the evidence base, interviewed each of the three inspectors who carried out the inspection and have held a separate meeting between the principal and Ofsted's North East regional director in respect of these allegations.
"To date, we have found no evidence to indicate that inspectors failed to act with care and sensitivity and to ask age-appropriate questions when they spoke to pupils, as they are trained to do."
Durham Free School complained the inspectors based their conclusion that "pupils were not being prepared for modern British life" on an interview with one student.
Ofsted said: "In reaching their conclusions about the effectiveness of the school's work inspectors considered a wide range of evidence.
"Discussions with students formed just a part of the evidence."
Ofsted criticised both schools for not tackling "prejudice-based bullying" and the use of racist or homophobic language by students.
Both schools said they did not recognise Ofsted's portrayal of them.
The body also said it visited two other schools in the North East in November but neither raised any concerns.
After their report was published, education secretary Nicky Morgan said she was terminating the funding for Durham Free School, which has 94 pupils. | Ofsted says it found no evidence its inspectors acted inappropriately while visiting two free schools subsequently placed in special measures. |
Can you provide a summary of this content? | O'Neill's side will face Germany in Hannover on Tuesday after Saturday's routine 4-0 triumph over San Marino.
"I felt they were the best team in the competition and slipped up in terms of how they went out," said O'Neill.
"There will be no surprise element in terms of how tough it is going to be."
O'Neill, whose squad travelled on Sunday, will make his players watch a re-run of their 1-0 defeat by the Germans at the European Championships in June as part of their preparations for Tuesday's game.
It will not be comfortable viewing given the reigning world champions were so formidable, despite only winning by a single goal that day in a tournament where O'Neill thought they were the stand-out nation.
However, Joachim Low's team were beaten by hosts France at the semi-final stage and O'Neill believes their comfortable 3-0 World Cup qualifying wins over Norway and the Czech Republic since are evidence of a team with a point to prove.
"We played them recently in the Euros - that's a big thing in our favour," added O'Neill.
"I think the players will be ready based on the fact that they've faced a German team in the Euros who probably hit top gear against us. If you look at their first two games, they're reacting, possibly, to not having won in France.
"We have to be ready for that backlash because I think they've started this campaign in a different mindset than possibly they did for the Euros when they dropped points against teams that I think they wouldn't normally do."
There will almost certainly be personnel changes from the victory over San Marino - O'Neill suggested "as many as five or six" - and Kyle Lafferty will be at the front of the queue following his brace from the bench.
Defender Aaron Hughes, 36, was brought into the fold with this contest in mind and Corry Evans' industry in midfield may be needed in a game set to be dictated by Germany's Toni Kroos.
Focusing on the Real Madrid man or any other specific player is considered frivolous by O'Neill, though.
"I've found that when you do start to possibly nullify them in one aspect they start to hit you with another problem," he admitted.
"As soon as you try to solve something, there's another problem that exists. That's down to the quality of the players that they have.
"Tactically they've really evolved and they can pin you in with possession of the ball."
The new policy, which will allow troops to transition gender while serving and set standards for medical care, will now come into effect on 1 January 2018.
Pentagon officials say that different services are not in agreement about when to accept recruits.
Rights activists have said they are disappointed with the delay.
"Each day that passes without the policy in place restricts the armed forces' ability to recruit the best and the brightest, regardless of gender identity," said Human Rights Campaign spokesman Stephen Peters in a statement.
Mr Mattis said in a memo quoted by the Washington Post he had decided more time was needed to make a decision after consulting senior defence officials, adding that the delay "in no way presupposes an outcome".
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement that the delay was imposed so the armed services could "review their accession plans and provide input on the impact to the readiness and lethality of our forces."
A study by the Rand Corporation last year, commissioned by the military, estimated that there were between 2,500 and 7,000 transgender active service members in a total force of 1.3 million, with an additional 1,500 to 4,000 among reserve units.
The Palm Center, an influential think tank which studies gender in the military, estimates that there are about 12,800 transgender service members.
Under the shelved plan drawn up by former defence secretary Ash Carter, transgender individuals would be able to enlist as long as they had been "stable" in their identified gender for 18 months. | Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has warned his squad they must be braced for a "backlash" from Germany following their failure to win Euro 2016 in France during the summer.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster has now been appointed to the elite of the Church by Pope Francis.
He has been seen at times as a "liberal" figure whom opponents accused of supporting civil partnerships and gay-friendly Masses in London.
However, he has publically opposed gay marriage, saying in 2012, that the government plans for it were a "shambles", while fighting against plans for a quota of non-Catholics in RC schools.
The gay-friendly Masses at at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in London's Soho were discontinued in January 2013 after six years.
More recently he highlighted the plight of the poor by attacking the government's welfare reforms.
Archbishop Nichols warned the reforms were leaving people in "destitution" by the removal of a "safety net" and labelled the situation a "disgrace".
However, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg hit back, calling the archbishop's comments an "exaggeration".
The son of two teachers, the future Church leader was born in Crosby, Liverpool in 1945, and has spoken previously of feeling a calling while standing on the terraces at Anfield.
The life-long Liverpool FC supporter told The Times, in 2007: "I'd gone to watch Liverpool and stand on the Kop at Anfield, and say to God 'Why don't you just leave me alone? Why can't I just be one of a crowd?'," he said.
The future Cardinal Nichols studied for the priesthood in Rome from 1963 to 1970 and was ordained as a priest in 1969.
His first role was as a parish priest in Wigan, where he was also a chaplain to a sixth-form college, before he then moved to work in Toxteth, Liverpool.
He became the general secretary of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales in January 1984.
He occupied the influential post for nine years, earning a reputation as a dynamic administrator and working closely with the then archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Basil Hume.
In 1992 he moved as auxiliary bishop to the Archdiocese of Westminster, taking on special pastoral responsibility for north London.
He also played a key role in the production of the Common Good document, in 1996, in which the Catholic bishops condemned the rhetoric of greed.
He might easily have taken the top job in the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales nine years before he eventually did.
In early 2000, some Roman Catholics saw the Auxiliary Bishop in Westminster as the most likely successor to Cardinal Basil Hume, who died in 1999.
Instead, Pope John Paul II chose the long-serving Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
Cardinal Nichols was named as the eighth Archbishop of Birmingham in 2000.
He became the Church's lead spokesman on education, including among his official posts head of the Bishops' Conference Department for Catholic Education and Formation.
In 2006, when the government introduced plans to force faith schools to take up to a quarter of pupils from "other religions", he mounted a campaign against what he called "insulting" and "divisive" plans.
Archbishop Nichols pointed out Catholic schools already took some 30% of their pupils from other faiths or no faith at all, and denounced coercion by the law as "ill thought-out, unworkable and contradictory of empirical evidence".
He retained a reputation as an effective media performer and tough champion for the Church.
On 21 May 2009, he was installed as Archbishop of Westminster following the retirement of Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor.
In 2010, he attempted to address the child abuse scandal "directly and unambiguously".
"We express our heartfelt apology and deep sorrow to those who have suffered abuse, those who have felt ignored, disbelieved or betrayed.
"We ask their pardon, and the pardon of God for these terrible deeds done in our midst. There can be no excuses", he said.
Some observers thought he might have been appointed a cardinal when Pope Benedict visited Britain in September 2010.
Instead he waited until January 2014, when it was announced he was to be made a cardinal by Pope Francis.
It was reported that it was not customary to make a Church leader a cardinal if his predecessor was under 80 - and therefore entitled to vote in Papal elections. Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor turned 80 in August 2012
Speaking before his appointment as a Cardinal, he said: "This appointment enables me, on behalf of all, to serve the Pope in a direct and prolonged way."
He added: "I am deeply moved by the honour conferred on the Catholic Church in England and Wales and on the Diocese of Westminster in my appointment.
"Personally this is a humbling moment." | He was the boy who wanted to be a lorry driver who grew up to become the leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. |

But the number identified has since risen to 24, police have said.
They are being sent letters informing them about court proceedings.
No-one was badly hurt in the crash, at about 05:45 BST on the westbound carriageway.
Lorry driver Ron Norris, from Northumberland, had to be cut out of his cab by the fire service, but escaped with minor injuries.
"I was totally stunned. I think it hit me a little bit when I was sat on a stretcher facing my truck and I just broke down in tears," he said.
"I couldn't help but think how on earth I'd got away with this."
Asked what he thought about drivers taking photographs of the accident, he said: "They deserve to get prosecuted.
"I could have died. The other driver could have died.
"If they were on their mobile phones when the crash happened, they could have died as well."
About 16 miles of road between junctions 31 and 36 was closed for several hours while the wreckage was cleared.
Two of the lorry drivers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

"I'm delighted BBC World Service plays an important part in giving female footballers the recognition they deserve."

Please summarize the following text. | The European Commission says it will give €1.8bn (£1.3bn) and it expects EU countries to pledge more.
The aim is to tackle the economic and security problems that cause people to flee, and persuade African countries to take back more failed asylum seekers.
The meeting was planned after a sinking off Libya in April. About 800 died.
Some 150,000 people have made the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean from Africa so far this year, arriving mainly in Italy and Malta.
However, the EU's focus has moved east since April, with large numbers of refugees - mostly Syrians - arriving via Turkey and Greece and then travelling north through the Balkans.
In other developments on Wednesday:
More than 60 leaders from Africa and Europe, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron, are meeting in Valletta in Malta for the two-day summit starting to discuss the mass movement of people.
The European Commission is setting up a €1.8bn "trust fund" for Africa and has urged member states to match that sum. However, there are doubts about whether they will do so.
Speaking in the Maltese parliament on the eve of the summit, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk said the plan was to make "much more progress on poverty reduction and conflict prevention".
"It also includes the issue of taking back in an efficient manner those who do not yet qualify for a visa, or those who do not require international protection," he said in a statement.
He added that Africa's population was expected to double by 2050 and that action was essential, particularly due to the strain placed on EU solidarity by refugees arriving from conflicts in the Middle East.
The BBC's Chris Morris in Malta says African leaders are likely insist on a much clearer path for smaller numbers of their citizens to migrate officially to Europe, in exchange for help on the crisis.
The UN says nearly 800,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea so far in 2015, while some 3,440 have died or gone missing making the journey.
The latest deaths came when 14 people drowned after another boat sank between Turkey and the Greek island of Lesbos, early on Wednesday.
Seven children were among the dead. The coast guard was able to rescue 27 people.
Tensions in the EU have been rising because of the disproportionate burden faced by some countries, particularly Greece, Italy and Hungary. Most migrants then head to Germany or Sweden to claim asylum.
EU leaders have agreed a controversial programme to relocate thousands of migrants - but so far only around 130 have been successfully moved from Greece and Italy.
Another source of embarrassment for the EU is a failure of member states to follow through on pledges made on their behalf by the bloc's executive Commission.
In October, the EU announced a provisional co-operation deal with Turkey, including a possible $3bn in aid.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. | EU leaders are expected to offer countries in Africa billions of euros in exchange for help with the migrant crisis at a summit in Malta. |
Give a brief overview of this passage. | The space thriller is a front runner for best picture at the Oscars, and Cuaron is the favourite to win best director.
"To be honest, I never thought I was doing a science fiction movie," he told the BBC in an exclusive interview in Los Angeles.
"I thought I was doing a drama of a woman in space."
Gravity, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded during a shuttle mission, has made more than $700m (£420m) worldwide.
The Mexican director added: "I don't think the film is a science fiction film in the sense that it takes place in the present with technology that exists.
"We heighten the reality because obviously there are plausibility issues, but I'm happy with whichever label [it has]."
Oscar history shows that sci-fi or space-themed films haven't fared well when up for best picture.
The original Star Wars lost the best picture prize to Woody Allen's Annie Hall.
In 2010, District 9 and 3D juggernaut Avatar both lost out to low-budget bomb disposal drama The Hurt Locker. The following year, Inception lost to The King's Speech.
"I guess there's a connotation that science fiction lacks gravitas," said Cuaron.
" But you have 2001 [A Space Odyssey] and I don't think you can go more serious than that."
Asked how he felt to be favourite for best director Oscar, he admitted:
"I don't think so much about it. I take it one day at a time. It's a celebration - I'm going to have fun no matter what."
The Oscars take place in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on Sunday 2 March.

Write a summary of this document. | The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said half a billion litres were taken from the pipeline that runs north-east from Lagos.
Long queues have formed at petrol stations across Nigeria in recent days.
Governments blame pipeline vandalism and theft in the oil sector for fuel shortages and damaging the economy.
An NNPC subsidiary told a Senate committee that "incessant hacking" of the System 2B pipeline had "made the task of providing seamless flow of petroleum products to retail outlets more burdensome".
The pipeline stretches 250km from the financial hub Lagos to the city of Ilorin.
The company said it was working to resolve the issue.
"We have been pushing 35 million litres every day to the market and there's no reason why there shouldn't be fuel," said Esther Nnamdi Ogbue, managing director of the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, a subsidiary.
She blamed "sharp practices" such as hoarding in some areas.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil exporter, but a lack of refining capacity means drivers rely on imported petrol and there are frequent fuel shortages.
In May the country was brought to a virtual standstill after importers shut depots over subsidy payments.

Susan Howarth, 64, and Robert Lynn, 66, were shot at and tied up by masked raiders on their farm in Dullstroom, in Mpumalanga province.
Ms Howarth, originally from Southsea, Hampshire, died after the ordeal, on Sunday 19 February, local reports said.
After being tortured, the couple were put in the back of a pick-up truck and left for dead in a ditch.
Mr Lynn, reportedly a former electrical engineer, was tortured with a blowtorch and knives.
According to local newspaper the Middelburg Observer, he returned home after the death of his wife, known by locals as the "English girl", on Tuesday.
Mr Lynn told the paper he woke at about 03:00 local time to the sound of his dogs barking and breaking glass.
The gang shot at the couple in their bedroom and demanded money. He said he gave them what he had but they continued to torture him.
After being dumped in a field, Mr Lynn told the Observer: "I crossed the road, crawling most of the way. On the other side I saw Susan, lying in a ditch. Her hands tied behind her back. She was bleeding from her head."
Mr Lynn flagged down a car and the pair were taken to Midmed Hospital.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. We are in contact with the local authorities."

He said the government and industry funding would help UK aerospace grow.
Wing manufacturing technology and fuel systems will be examined in the two projects, led from Filton but with research carried out across the UK.
Airbus CEO Fabrice Brégier said he was pleased to get "long-term commitment at least until 2026" from the UK.
The announcement was made at plane maker Airbus's Filton HQ, which employs 4,000 people, on Thursday.
The investment comes from the Aerospace Technology Institute, half government and half industry funding.
One project will look at how to speed up production, reduce weight and costs for the next generation of advanced aircraft wings, while the other will look to reduce maintenance on new aircraft fuel systems.
Mr Javid said the "highly skilled" aerospace was a "real success story" for the UK and government and industry working together could "produce results".
He added: "We can help boost productivity, we can help the industry grow and hire more people."
Over the next ten years he said the government would commit £900m to aerospace research and development - match funded by industry.
He said: "It will help keep our aviation industry, not just in Filton but nationally, at the top."
Mr Brégier said the UK was a world leader in aircraft wing and fuel system development and the investment would "help secure this position for decades to come".
Asked why his business needed government money, Mr Bregier told BBC Points West: "It's very long term research and technology we need to structure the supply chain, we need to make sure that we have a long-term vision.
"And there is a competition among countries. I can get support in France, in Germany and I'm very pleased to get a long-term commitment, at least until 2026, from the UK."
Instead, hundreds of photographers and men turned up for the event on Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema beach.
More than 2,000 women had said they would take their tops off on the beach on Saturday morning to call for the law to be scrapped.

Protesters say Brazilian legislation, which defines beach topless as an obscene act, is anachronistic and hypocritical.
They argue that nudity is tolerated during the annual carnival parade in Rio.
"It's a false-Puritanism and indicative of our macho culture that we have a law forbidding that a woman can go topless," Olga Salon told the Associated Press news agency.
She was one of the few women who went ahead with the protest and took her top off before a crowd of photographers and male beach-goers.
The organiser, Ana Rios, said the idea was to raise awareness to the prejudice against women in Brazil.
"It is a pity it became a media circus. What really amazes me is the number of men who came here just to see women's chests," she said.
The movement began after Brazilian actress Cristina Flores was approached by local policemen during a photo session.
She says they threatened to arrest her if she did not agree to put her top on.
"I didn't even know it was illegal when I did it," she said.
A 1940s law says going topless on the beach is punishable with three months to a year in jail or a fine.
The harsh penalties are rarely enforced, but topless sunbathing is not tolerated on most Brazilian beaches. | Some 130 balloons are taking part in this year's Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | Of more than 1,000 eight- to 18-year-old boys polled, 55% would consider changing their diet to look better.
And 23% said they believed there was a perfect male body.
"Boys are increasingly worried about their appearance," said Karen Fraser, of the Credos advertising industry think tank, which conducted the survey.
Most of the boys polled saw eating disorders (56%) as an issue for both boys and girls.
And almost as many felt dieting (55%) and extreme exercising (48%) were gender neutral issues.
But despite this pressure, the boys polled found it hard to discuss their concerns:
"The relatively low awareness of boys' body image issues amongst parents and teachers, coupled with a culture of boys not discussing their worries, makes it a tough environment for boys to seek support," said Credos director Ms Fraser.
One teacher told the researchers bullying about physical appearance was often harder to sort out among boys.
"With girls, somebody says, 'You're fat.'
"The natural reaction is that the girl cries, the other girl feels guilty, and it gets sorted out.
"With boys there's a lot more banter.
"You can see they're often hurt, but the expectation is to laugh and shrug it off."
According to the survey, the biggest influences on boys to look good come from:
More detailed questioning of the boys showed that while they were aware of the digital manipulation of images, they were shocked at how much models' looks were altered.
Many boys were aware of airbrushing but associated it with female images only.
The report recommends:
The research is published alongside a government-supported media literacy toolkit, Media Smart, to help parents and teachers talk to children about how adverts are made and how they can affect self-perception.
"We have to recognise that advertising and the wider media play some part in shaping how young people feel about themselves, both positively and negatively," said Ms Fraser, who added that she hoped advertisers would engage further in the debate.
Equalities Minister Caroline Dinenage agreed advertising could have a big impact on young minds and said it was important to empower young people to take a more critical view of it.
"This toolkit is a fantastic resource that can support teachers and parents to talk about body image and gender stereotypes in relation to the adverts we see every day," said Ms Dinenage. | Eating disorders, dieting and extreme exercising are as much of a problem for UK secondary school boys as for girls, suggests a survey. |
Summarize the following piece. | The picture of police dog Finn, injured apprehending a suspected armed robber, was drawn by Alex Goodwin and turned into a Christmas card.
The first set of several hundred cards quickly sold out so Alex decided to sell his original to raise more money.
Two top bidders decided both would pay-up and agreed one could keep it.
Alex, from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, was "devastated" when he read about the Hertfordshire police dog that was stabbed in Stevenage on 5 October. The dog's handler PC Dave Wardell was also injured.
Through his police officer father, Alex began following Finn's recovery on social media.
Alex is undergoing chemotherapy for Ewing Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer that affects fewer than 30 children in the UK each year. His father is trying to raise funds to help improve his son's chances of survival.
The drawing inspired a Christmas card, packs of which were sold to raise money for "Alexander's Journey" - the fund set up for his future treatment and rehabilitation.
When the cards sold out, they decided to auction the original.
It was organised by Finn's Law, a group campaigning for law changes regarding injured police animals.
Two bidders went "head-to-head", finally pledging £660 each.
"The other man said, 'I can see you really want this, let's both pay, but you can have the drawing'," said Rosie Lee, who ended up with the picture.
The special constable had been following the boy's story as she works for Warwickshire Police, the same force as Alex's father, PC Jeff Goodwin.
"He's an amazing brave boy and I'm touched that I can help in some way and support Jeff as a member of the police family," she said.
The picture would take "pride of place" in her home, she added. | A nine-year-old boy's drawing of a police dog that was stabbed while on duty, has sold for £1,320 to raise money for the child's cancer treatment. |
Can you write a short summary of this section? | About 100 pupils saw the live launch, shown at the Tim Peake Conference Centre at Chichester High School, as others watched around the school.
Physics teacher Mike Gouldstone, who taught Mr Peake, said pupils were "jumping up and down with excitement".
"It's a great day for the school and a great day for Tim," he said.
Speaking about "Major Tim's" time at the school - between 1982 and 1988 - Mr Gouldstone said: "Tim was very engaging and very interested in getting involved with experiments."
He added: "I know the school is proud. Personally, I feel quite humble, having had the privilege of teaching such a great star as Tim.
"I put a lot down to his parents and those around him. I just shared a bit about the laws of physics with him."
Phil Trowl, who was a school friend of 43-year-old Mr Peake, said the astronaut's home town of Westbourne was "buzzing with excitement" at the prospect of him reaching the International Space Station.
Eight-year-old Rufus Knight, a pupil at Oakwood School near Chichester, met Tim Peake at the Science Museum in London.
Rufus asked him: "... Have you thought about whether Father Christmas will deliver your presents?"
Mr Peake said he thought it was unlikely his presents would be delivered by reindeer, but he said he would "look out the window for any activity".

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | In order to return the card to its owner, a man who found it on the bus in Eccles, Greater Manchester last October decided to look at its contents.
After finding a number of sexual images of children, he reported it to police.
Salford man Anthony Jolly, 50, admitted possession of thousands of indecent images of children and was sentenced to three years at Manchester Crown Court.
Among the images were photographs of children which appeared to have been taken from a bedroom window.
Detectives were able to trace the pictures back to Jolly's home address on Rosa Grove, Higher Broughton and arrested him.
A number of electronic devices were seized which contained thousands of indecent images of children.
Det Con Jill Vescovi of Greater Manchester Police said: "Anthony Jolly is a depraved predator who obviously doesn't care and hasn't given a second thought to the children in the images he kept and the impact this abuse will have had on their lives.
"Whilst none of the children who appear in the indecent images were directly abused by Jolly, the downloading and sharing of vile images like this fuel the trade of child sexual abuse."
As well as a jail term, Jolly was also given a sexual harm prevention order. | A "depraved" paedophile who was caught after mistakenly leaving his camera's memory card on a bus has been jailed. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The club was granted an appeal after losing a court battle last year over the £30m deal.
Judges have now ruled the supermarket operator lawfully ended its conditional contract to buy the ground. The deal was originally signed in December 2011.
The club said it will now "assess the implications" of the judgement.
A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: "We're pleased that the Court has robustly dismissed Bristol Rover's appeal and ruled that the conditional contract lawfully ended in November 2014.
"We have been trading in Bristol for over 45 years and will continue to work with the local community via our existing stores which are extremely popular with customers."
The £30m contract to buy the club's "old fashioned and dilapidated" 12,000-capacity stadium was signed in December 2011.
The agreed plan was for Sainsbury's to buy the site for a new supermarket, but lease it back to the club while Rovers built a new 21,700-seat stadium in Stoke Gifford.
Planning permission for a new supermarket on the site was not granted until January 2013 and was further delayed by judicial review.
Then Sainsbury's pulled out, arguing conditions had not been met before the "cut-off date" in the agreement.
The League Two side says a new stadium is needed to secure its future.
Paul Cairns sexually assaulted the women, who cannot be named for legal reasons, at addresses in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, last year.
The 48-year-old, from Airdrie, had denied the charges against him but was convicted following an earlier trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Passing sentence, judge Lord Carloway told Cairns he had no other option but to send him to prison.
The court heard that Cairns attacked his first victim sometime between 6 and 12 January 2014.
He forced the woman's face onto the floor before raping her.
His second victim was attacked sometime between 10 and 30 April last year.
The court heard how Cairns pulled her into a bedroom and forced her to have sex with him.
Cairns was also convicted of failing to turn up to court for one day during his trial. This caused the jury in the case to be sent home for the day. | Bristol Rovers has lost a High Court appeal against a ruling which allowed Sainsbury's to pull out of a deal to buy the club's Memorial Stadium.
