Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The incident at Ewenny was one of a number in south Wales between 17:00 BST and 19:00 as heavy rain hit.
In Cardiff, the cellar of the Royal Oak pub on Broadway flooded, while sewage water entered a fabric shop on City Road after drains had blocked.
The Anchor Inn in Tintern, Monmouthshire, also flooded.
Two tries from Jonah Holmes put Yorkshire ahead, before Alex Davies crossed against his former club to give the visitors a 24-3 lead at the break.
Will Harries and Curtis Wilson scores brought Ealing, who finished third behind second-placed Yorkshire in the table, back into the match at 27-16.
But Ryan Burrows' try gave Yorkshire an 18-point first-leg advantage.
Should they overturn the deficit and go on to win the final, Ealing, as well as fellow play-off side Doncaster, have said they would not accept promotion to the Premiership.
Doncaster face London Irish, who finished top of the Championship, in the first leg of the other play-off semi-final on Sunday.
The move will safeguard 2,000 jobs and help with tight energy supplies.
Heysham 1 and Hartlepool will have their life extended by five years until 2024, while Heysham 2 and Torness will see their closure dates pushed back by seven years to 2030.
Meanwhile, EDF said its 2015 profits fell 68% to €1.18bn mainly due to writedowns on coal-fired plants.
The results were below analysts' expectations.
The value of plants in the UK, Italy, Poland and Belgium fell, and the company also took charges on its Edison oil and gas exploration business.
EDF will cut its dividend by 15 cents to €1.10 a share with an option for payment in new shares rather than cash.
Its shares have fallen almost 25% since the start of the year.
EDF said its decision to extend the life of its plants followed "extensive technical and safety reviews".
Chief executive Vincent de Rivaz said: "Our continuing investment, our expertise and the professional relationship we have with the safety regulator means we can safely prolong the operating life of our nuclear power stations.
"Their excellent output shows that reliability is improving whilst their safety and environmental performance is higher than ever."
The four nuclear plants employ about 2,000 permanent staff and 1,000 contractors.
They provide electricity to about a quarter of the UK's homes.
The announcement comes amid concern about the amount of energy available to keep the lights on, due to the closure of many of Britain's ageing power plants.
Meanwhile, EDF has yet to finalise the investment for a new nuclear plant to be built at Hinkley Point in Somerset.
It has agreed a deal in principle under which China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) will pay a third of the cost of the £18bn project in exchange for a 33.5% stake.
An EDF board meeting to approve the plan earlier this year is thought to have been postponed. Reports suggested the company was struggling to find the cash for its 66.5% stake.
The company said on Tuesday: "Hinkley Point C is a strong project which is fully ready for a final investment decision and successful construction. Final steps are well in hand to enable the full construction phase to be launched very soon."
However, Paul Dorfman of the UCL Energy Institute, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Unfortunately, with the best will in the world, it may just not happen. Chris Bakken, the man charged by EDF to construct Hinkley Point, has quit to spend more time with his family, EDF shares have crashed to half their value a year ago; the budget for Hinkley alone is bigger than EDF's entire market value.
"Areva - EDF's construction arm - has been bankrupted by the huge costs and time overruns for the same brand of reactor they want to build at Hinkley, so it seems there's a good chance that it simply may not happen." | Two adults and two children were rescued from a car stranded in flood water in Vale of Glamorgan on Wednesday.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The Aberdeen midfielder, 24, started in Prague and was withdrawn just before the hour mark as Gordon Strachan's side won their first match of 2016.
"When you get a taste, you always want more," McLean told BBC Scotland.
"I've enjoyed the few days. It's what everybody wants and I hope I can just stay here."
Ikechi Anya's early goal proved to be enough for Scotland in Prague.
"The boys dug in and we got the win, which was great," McLean said.

"First half was a bit tricky but second half, we were a lot better. We controlled the game in parts.
"It was obviously great to make my debut from the start.
"I felt good for the time I was on the pitch. I didn't feel out of place at all and it's where I want to be."
Strachan selected two squads for the matches against Czech Republic and Denmark, with the latter visiting Hampden on Tuesday.
Hibernian midfielder John McGinn - a former St Mirren team-mate of McLean's - is in the squad to face the Danes and could make his senior international debut in Glasgow.
"Hopefully he can do well enough and stay in," McLean said of 21-year-old McGinn. "You just need to enjoy moments like this - ones you need to cherish."
Alan Hutton, 31, won his 50th Scotland cap in Prague and the Aston Villa full-back described it as "a great honour".
"I never once really thought I'd get this many," he explained. "To get to 50 is a dream come true, really."
Ross McCormack, a late call-up to the squad, set up Anya's goal.
"To get a 1-0 win, we've got to be happy," the 29-year-old Fulham forward said.
"I just had to be strong with the two centre-halves and try and get them out the way.
"To be honest, I didn't see Ikechi, I just heard his shout so I thought if I can get it in that space, with his pace, if it's a foot race he's always going to win. When he got there, he thankfully tucked it in.
"Thankfully, the manager gave me a chance and I enjoyed it."

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The musician's Minneapolis home and recording studio, Paisley Park, was searched on 21 April, the day he died.
But authorities won a court order on Thursday to keep the warrant sealed, arguing that making it public would hamper their work.
Prescription painkillers were in the singer's possession following his sudden death, officials tell US media.
But it is unclear what role, if any, those drugs may have played.
Carver County Deputy Sheriff Jason Kamerud said reports that the Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA) had been called in were not accurate.
A post-mortem last week discounted suicide - but a medical examiner said full results could take several weeks.
Prince, 57, was found dead in a lift on his Paisley Park estate.
There was no sign of trauma on the body, Sheriff Jim Olson said, suggesting the singer had died alone.
There have been suggestions the star was addicted to the painkiller Percocet, which he had been taking since 2009 to relieve hip pain.
His former percussionist, Sheila E, told the news agency Prince had suffered the effects of years of jumping off speakers on stage while wearing high heels.
However, claims of drug dependency have been refuted by the singer's long-time lawyer, L Londell McMillan.
Although Mr McMillan admitted that Prince may have taken pills to manage pain, he said the musician was "not on any drugs that would be any cause for concern".
Prince had been rushed to hospital in Illinois six days prior to his death, while flying home from a concert in Georgia, but was treated and released a few hours later.
The Environment Agency said the "warning is in force as some overtopping and spray is expected due to strong winds and large waves."
Areas of concern are Marine Drive, Royal Albert Drive and the Spa in Scarborough and the North Pier and the Harbour in Bridlington.
High tides in both resort are expected after 16:00 GMT. | A search warrant was obtained in relation to the home of Prince shortly after he died, court documents show.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | The US economy grew at an annualised pace of 1% in the quarter, compared with an initial estimate of 0.7%.
Most economists had taken a more pessimistic view, expecting the figure would be revised downwards.
But businesses bought more stock than previously estimated, which meant inventory levels were $13bn higher.
The downside is that next month's growth figures may be lower than expected if businesses do get round to cutting back on inventory spending.
Some forecasts put the growth rate for the first three months of 2016 as high as 2.5%.
But Chris Williamson, chief economist at research firm Markit, said: "Unfortunately, the cause of the upward revision bodes ill for the first quarter.
"The GDP number was revised higher in part due to a bigger than previously thought contribution from inventories, something which often happens due to weaker than expected demand, meaning inventories could act as a drag in the first quarter as excess stocks levels are wound down again."
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity, rose at a 2% pace in the fourth quarter, rather than the 2.2% rate previously estimated.
Cheap oil and lower heating bills from a mild winter has helped consumer confidence.
But some economists fear that the slowdown in consumer spending could get worse.
Mr Williamson said: "Companies cite a number of worries that are dragging on customer spending and causing business to become more risk averse.
"These include uncertainty about the forthcoming election, financial market volatility, the global economic environment and the possibility of higher interest rates."
The chair of the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen has indicated that rates could rise gradually through the year if the economy grows strongly enough.
However, many economists believe US growth will be held back by slowing economies round the world from China to Brazil, pushing down the prices of raw materials and leading to deflation.
For example, lower oil prices have been a drag on the profits of oil companies and a range of oil support industries, leading them to cut spending on investment.
A Reuters survey this month estimated that the top 30 global oil companies had cut their budgets by an average of 40%.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Simon Hart is urging MPs to review the law to combat sexism, racism, homophobia and criminal damage.
He said some party members have had their cars scratched or property damaged.
Former Welsh Secretary David Jones told MPs June's election had been the most unpleasant of the six in which he had stood as a candidate.
At a Westminster Hall debate led by Mr Hart, Clwyd West Tory MP Mr Jones claimed the intimidation was co-ordinated, that Twitter was "deeply anti-social" and logging onto it was now like "wading through sewage".
The debate followed widespread concern about intimidation during the campaign for the general election in June.
Opening the debate, the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire MP said: "Since the election, the Conservative Whips Office has been dealing with at least three credible threats to colleagues a week, including death threats, criminal damage, sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism and general thuggishness around and after the election."
Matters had deteriorated in the run-up to the poll, he said, with people and businesses targeted for supporting certain candidates and some afraid to put posters up for fear of what the reaction might be.
Earlier, Mr Hart said almost half his election campaign boards were defaced, stolen or damaged, adding that he and other MPs received abuse on social media "on an almost daily basis".
"These are things that have significant financial consequences and it's driving people away from politics, even on the fringes, at a time when actually it's never been more important that they're part of politics," he said.
Mr Hart said he wanted social media platforms to ask themselves "some searching questions" about whether they were protecting people from online abuse and called for a review of legislation as much of it "predates social media by hundreds of years".
Meanwhile, Wales Office minister Guto Bebb said he had also been a victim of online intimidation, and has accused serving police officers of being among those who have abused him.
North Wales Police said it had recently received correspondence from the Conservative MP for Aberconwy and "the matters will be examined".
Emily Owen, a Labour general election candidate for Aberconwy, told BBC Radio Wales said she was inundated by sexist comments on social media after announcing she was standing for the 2017 election.
She said she had experienced "threats very close to rape threats" and people had to be called out on it.
"It is horrible, it is absolutely horrible," she said.
"One of the big messages needs to be, this is not OK, it's absolutely not normal."
Before Wednesday's debate UK ministers announced an inquiry into intimidation of parliamentary candidates.
The Committee on Standards in Public Life will look at the nature of the problem of intimidation, considering the current protections and measures in place for candidates, reporting back to the prime minister.
Theresa May said: "Robust debate is a vital part of our democracy, but there can be no place for the shocking threats and abuse we have seen in recent months." | Abuse of candidates and activists is "driving people away from politics", a Welsh Conservative MP has said. |
Can you summarize this passage? | The visitors, now 10 points clear of Morton, struck on 22 minutes, with Aidan Connolly finishing off a swift counter-attack.
Ross Callachan then shot home to double the Fife side's advantage.
St Mirren responded before half-time, with Alex Cooper forcing the ball in from close range.
However, the hosts, seeking a third successive victory to reignite their slim play-off hopes, could not break through the Rovers defence again.
The Buddies, who had manager Alex Rae sent to the stand by referee Barry Cook, remain seventh in the table, 14 points behind the Kirkcaldy men.
It was a first away success for Rovers since December and closes the gap on third-placed Hibernian to seven points.
He said it was a matter of economic necessity as well as women's rights to lift restrictions.
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women are not allowed to drive, and women's rights activists have been arrested for defying the ban.
"It is high time that Saudi women started driving their cars", he said.
Prince Alwaleed is an outspoken member of the Saudi royal family who has criticised the restriction of women's rights in the country before.
Although he has no political position in the country, he is the chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company (KHC), which owns stakes in the huge US bank Citigroup and the Euro Disney theme park and which is listed on the Saudi stock exchange.
KHC claims to be one of the largest foreign investors in the US, with interests in hotels, property and news media. The company has stakes in Disney, 21st Century Fox, News Corp, Apple, General Motors, and Twitter.
The prince, among the world's wealthiest individuals, said: "Preventing a woman from driving a car is today an issue of rights similar to the one that forbade her from receiving an education or having an independent identity.
"They are all unjust acts by a traditional society, far more restrictive than what is lawfully allowed by the precepts of religion."
While it is not technically illegal for women to drive, only men are awarded driving licences. Protests against the ban go back 20 years.
The prince's statement, published at length on his website, argues that the ban is extremely expensive for Saudi Arabia.
With poor public transport, more than a million drivers are employed to get women about, many of whom are foreigners employed at considerable expense.
The prince estimates that the average family spends each month 3,800 riyals ($1,000 or £800) on a driver, which drains family incomes.
"There are more than one million Saudi women in need of a safe means of transportation to take them to work every morning," argues the prince.
"It often falls upon the men to leave their work obligations to take their wives and children to clinics and other destinations, something that women could do on their own.
"Retaining foreign drivers not only has the effect of reducing a family's disposable income... but also contributes to the siphoning of billions of riyals every year from the Saudi economy to foreign destinations in the form of remittances," he adds.

The premiere is being held on Saturday 15 April at the Belmont Filmhouse, as part of the NuArt Aberdeen festival.
Belmont manager Colin Farquhar explained: "Banksy is a cultural phenomenon and we are sure the showing will be popular."
Banksy's images are daubed on walls around the world, and are worth vast sums of money.
James Finucane, general manager of the NuArt Festival, said: "Saving Banksy has received widespread critical acclaim since its release in the US earlier this year.
"It's a great coup for Aberdeen and a fascinating insight into current debates about street art practice and the traditional art establishment's efforts to remove the 'street' from 'street art'."
NuArt Aberdeen has been brought to the city by Aberdeen Inspired and Aberdeen City Council.
Adrian Watson, chief executive of business-led initiative Aberdeen Inspired, said: "Banksy symbolises the debate that goes on around street art and this film is a brilliant platform for discussion.
"We want to get people talking about art and bring it to a new audience in the city and are hugely looking forward to the premiere." | The UK cinema premiere of a documentary about famous street artist Banksy is to be held in Aberdeen. |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Zofino Muiuane was arrested after Mrs Guebuza was killed at their home in the capital, Maputo, police said.
Mrs Guebuza, 36, is the daughter of Mozambique's ex-President Armando Guebuza, who ruled from 2005 to 2015.
She married Mr Muiuane at a lavish ceremony, attended by regional leaders, in 2014.
While police said the shooting was a case of domestic violence, they also said they were still investigating the motive.
Mr Muiuane, a manager at Mozambique's first mobile phone company M-Cel, has not yet been charged.
The killing has shocked many people and it is rare to hear of domestic violence in wealthy and politically linked families in Mozambique, says the BBC's Jose Tembe in Maputo.
Mrs Guebuza became one of Mozambique's wealthiest businesswomen during her father's presidency, our correspondent adds.
Business magazine Forbes listed her in 2013 as one of the 20 most powerful women in Africa.
She headed a family-owned investment holding company, Focus 21 Management & Development, which has interests in sectors ranging from telecommunications to mining.
Focus 21 has a significant stake in Chinese Pay TV Company StarTimes' operations in Mozambique.
There are no plans for him to meet personally with Pope Francis.
"I'm so excited and proud to be here with other people who are trying to create a moral economy," he told supporters outside the Vatican.
The visit comes just four days before a crucial state primary contest in his native New York.
On Thursday night, the Vermont senator and his rival Hillary Clinton clashed on Wall Street banks, gun controls and the minimum wage in a punchy debate.
Afterwards he flew to Rome, where supporters were gathered at the Vatican wearing T-shirts saying: "Rome feels the Bern."
Mr Sanders said inequality, injustice and pollution are causing "devastating" problems.
And he admires the pope for his views on income inequality and greed.
Some political commentators have wondered why he would travel to Rome so close to the New York primary.
"It's a real misstep," New York Times columnist Charles Blow said on CNN. "He's basically going to be saying the same thing there that he's been saying here."
Mr Sanders' campaign manager Jeff Weaver defended the trip at a rally.
"Hillary Clinton has been out of the state on a number of occasions for high-dollar fundraisers," he said. "We think this is a more important reason to leave the campaign trail for the day."
Mr Sanders defended the trip to reporters and supporters outside of the Vatican.
"I know that it's taking me away from the campaign trail for a day but when I received this information it was so moving to me that it was something that I could just simply not refuse to attend," he said.
"Our youth are no longer satisfied with corrupt and broken politics and an economy of stark inequality and injustice," Mr Sanders said outside of the Vatican.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Noble, a painter, draughtsman and installation artist, is the only artist who has shown new work for his Turner Prize exhibition.
His closest challenger is Elizabeth Price with odds of 2/1, followed by Spartacus Chetwynd at 11/4.
Luke Fowler is the outsider with 5/1 odds.
"Certainly the punters, the members of the public seem to think it's a two horse race," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
"Now, people are going for an actual painter or designer, rather than a visual piece of work.
"I can honestly say [Chetwynd and Fowler] are the most unpopular since 2004. Fowler is the least popular in the last 10 years," he added.
The prestigious and often controversial Turner Prize is awarded to a British artist under 50 who is judged to have put on the best exhibition of the last 12 months.
An exhibition of the four artists' works opened at Tate Britain in October.
Noble has been the frontrunner to take the prize since the shortlist was announced in May.
Born in 1963, the artist explores society through drawings of a fictional town called Nobson Newton, which depict a dysfunctional and dystopian landscape that has been compared to the legendary William Hogarth and US cartoonist Robert Crumb.
His exhibited works included five new pencil drawings, along with five new drawings from a previous exhibition and three sculptures.
Elizabeth Price has been shortlisted for her exhibition, Here, which comprises three video installations.
The artist is known for creating works which draw on historic films and photographs.
Last year, the prize was held in at the Baltic Gallery in Gateshead - the first time the ceremony was held outside a Tate venue.
Scottish sculptor Martin Boyce won the £25,000 prize for his installation Do Words Have Voices. He turned three large white gallery pillars into square trees, topped by canopies of uniform white leaves.

Can you write a short summary of this section? | And yet in the mainstream US sports media…tumbleweeds and the sound of crickets.
That can largely be explained by the fact that the coach in question, Alberto Salazar, also looks after Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah and works for UK Athletics on a consultancy basis.
So, while Farah has not been accused of any wrongdoing at all, this is a big deal for us. It may have implications for one of our most successful international stars - a hero of London 2012's "Super Saturday" - and the publicly funded governing body of one of our biggest participation sports.
But the disparity in coverage on either side of the Atlantic is also why this story is so important.
Major US media outlets have largely given up on track and field for the 207 weeks between the flurries of medals American athletes can usually be expected to win at Olympics. Even then the interest is not what it was.
That is what a succession of doping scandals - from Marion Jones to Justin Gatlin - will do to you and it is why what happens next is so crucial for the sport's future in this country and elsewhere.
But before we get to that, let us recap on a drama rich in actors but poor in answers.
On 3 June, the BBC broadcast a Panorama documentary by reporter Mark Daly called "Catch Me If You Can".
A joint venture with the US investigative journalism specialists ProPublica, the programme aired allegations about the historic and current abuse of performance-enhancing drugs in athletics, and the ineffectiveness of the anti-doping system.
But it was the allegations levelled against Salazar that provoked the most reaction.
The documentary aired testimony from half a dozen former athletes and staff members at the Nike Oregon Project (NOP) who claimed Salazar's competitive zeal and interest in science had led him to cross a line, most notably in the case of his protege Galen Rupp, the American who came second to Farah in the 10,000m at London 2012.
Ex-NOP coach Steve Magness gave Panorama and ProPublica a photo of a lab report he had seen in the office he shared with Salazar in 2010 that said Rupp had been on prednisone and testosterone medication in 2002.
Prednisone is a corticosteroid used to treat allergies and asthma, and testosterone is an anabolic hormone.
The former is permissible under anti-doping rules, providing there is clear medical need, as is the latter, but it is difficult to think why a 16-year-old would need testosterone yet still be healthy enough to be a national-standard athlete.
As the World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) chief executive David Howman said: "You would have to be pretty exceptionally sick [to be granted permission to use testosterone], and even then I would say the doctors would be more inclined to say you probably should be resting rather than competing in a big-time sport."
Salazar denies giving Rupp testosterone, and Rupp denies ever taking it. The coach told the BBC that this was a mistake by the doctor and it should have read "Testaboost", a supplement that is meant to increase testosterone legally.
Magness, who quit NOP shortly before London 2012, also said he had concerns about attempts made to circumvent tests and the misuse of prescription drugs. These claims were backed up by Kara and Adam Goucher, two runners who also left the group, an unnamed former NOP athlete and John Stiner, a former staff member.
Daly finished the documentary by saying he knew of at least seven former athletes and staff who had complained to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) about Salazar's methods, and by showing Magness's evidence to Wada.
There has been no official reaction from Usada - it never discusses investigations - while Wada has issued statements to confirm its concern and desire to know more.
That is also the tone of the response from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the sport's global governing body, which now shares with Usada the responsibility of investigating the substance of the claims against Salazar and Rupp - claims they both strongly deny.
Nike, Salazar's employer and arguably the most powerful player in the sport, has so far said little but did re-issue the firm rebuttals made by the two men at the centre of the storm. There is no suggestion that the sportswear giant was aware of the alleged wrongdoing or is anyway involved in it.
The situation at trackside, however, is very different, with athletes and coaches talking about little else, albeit not always publicly.
Two of the most significant contributions have come from former NOP runner Josh Rohatinsky and John Cook, a veteran US coach who helped Salazar set up his Oregon base.
In a long post on his Facebook page, Rohatinsky said he believed the allegations and described a "wall of separation" between Salazar and Rupp and the rest of the group.
Cook, meanwhile, told the BBC that he fell out with Salazar over the use of asthma drugs he felt many athletes did not really need.
On Friday, ProPublica's David Epstein published a story that said the total of ex-NOP athletes and staff members to flag up their concerns about Salazar to Usada now totals 17.
The 32-year-old is the only current member of the NOP group, which is based at Nike's global headquarters near Portland, to face the full glare of the media since the story broke.
This came in a highly-charged news conference on the eve of the Birmingham Grand Prix, a Diamond League meeting he was meant to close in glorious fashion.
Unfortunately, but understandably, he pulled out of the event at short notice, saying he was returning to the US to ask Salazar some urgent questions.
He also said he felt his name had been unfairly dragged into this story and claimed he had never witnessed any wrongdoing by Salazar, Rupp or anybody else at NOP, the training group that took him from being a nearly-man in early 2011 to near legendary status within the sport in 2015.

Farah has not spoken since Birmingham but did apologise to fans for his no-show on Facebook last week, and said he was feeling "more upbeat" about things.
This, however, has not answered the question of whether it would be wiser for him to distance himself from Salazar and his training partner Rupp until this situation is resolved one way or another.
British team-mate Jo Pavey said she would "run a mile" if she were in Farah's position, while UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner has said his personal view is that it would be sensible to take a break from Salazar's camp with the World Championships in Beijing approaching fast.
But other voices, British Olympic champion Darren Campbell, for example, have pointed out the disruption to his training that this could cause and have noted Farah's loyalty to men who are innocent unless proven guilty.
As mentioned above, UKA chairman Warner has voiced his fears about the reputational damage Farah risks by his association with Salazar.
But from an organisational point of view nothing has changed in terms of UKA's relationship with Salazar and NOP.
That may change, though, in August, which is when the three-strong "performance oversight group", set up by Warner and chief executive Niels de Vos to look at UKA's links to Salazar, reports back.
One of the key mysteries for former sprinter Jason Gardener, ex-British marathon record-holder Dr Sarah Rowell and Paralympian Anne Wafula-Strike to unravel is how much "due diligence" UKA did when it agreed to let Farah join NOP in 2011, and then again when it gave Salazar a consultancy role in 2013.
After all, the BBC demonstrated last week that Salazar had been, at the very least, one of Mary Slaney's coaches at the time the American middle-distance queen failed a test for elevated levels of testosterone at the US Olympic trials in 1996.
Slaney has always denied doping, blaming her birth control pills for the elevated reading, and her lawyers vigorously argued that the case against her should never have been brought. But it was and she was eventually given a two-year ban and stripped of a silver medal from the 1997 world indoor championships.
Slaney's case is something Farah said he had asked Salazar about in 2011 with the American telling him he was not her coach at that time, and UKA's former head of endurance Ian Stewart categorically told The Daily Mail last week that Salazar had never coached Slaney.
This is not what contemporary accounts, witnesses and Salazar's autobiography say.
His position with UKA is unpaid but the BBC understands that UKA's performance director Neil Black and new head of endurance Barry Fudge are regular visitors to Oregon, as are several development coaches.
The Cuban-born coach has known about these allegations for six weeks, having received them as part of the right-to-reply process.
Since the documentary's broadcast he has restated the forceful denials he gave the BBC and ProPublica, dismissing the allegations as "false assumptions and half-truths" to "further personal agendas".
He has also told newspapers that he is preparing a thorough rebuttal of all the claims made against him and its arrival is imminent.
There has already been some support for him, with IAAF presidential candidate and Olympic legend Lord Coe telling the BBC in London last Sunday that we should expect a "stout defence" from his "good friend", while two current NOP athletes, American Shannon Rowbury and Canada's Cam Levins, told reporters at a track meet in Oregon this weekend that they had seen nothing to make them doubt Salazar's commitment to clean sport.
They also said he was a great coach, which is certainly the view of his many admirers.
One of the best marathon runners of the 1980s, Salazar makes no secret of his interest in cutting-edge training methods, many of which he was using himself towards the end of his career.
Having initially hoped to spark a revival in US marathon running, he shifted his focus to trying to knock East Africa off its perch on the track.
That Saturday night in London, when Farah led home Rupp in an NOP one-two, was the moment that a decade of hard work and Nike money paid off, and it led him to being named IAAF coach of the year in 2013.
For that achievement to stand the test of time he will need his defence to be as stout as Coe predicted.
This is probably a better question for the British Olympic Association chairman than Salazar, Farah or anybody else caught up in this farrago, as Coe hopes to become the IAAF's next boss in August.
His rival in the presidential contest is Ukrainian pole vault great Sergey Bubka and both men have promised to make anti-doping a priority.
But what else could they say after the year or so that athletics has had?
Still wobbling from the Balco and Trevor Graham scandals that blighted a generation of sprinters a decade ago, the sport has been hit by waves of positive tests from three powerhouse nations: Jamaica, Kenya and Russia.
The last of those has been the most serious as it appears to be the most extensive, with allegations of collusion that go right to the top of the sport.
As outlined at the beginning, track and field is sinking in the US, certainly in terms of media coverage. There is a very real risk it could go the same way in Europe, if it has not already started to happen.
When the BBC started to line up athletes for reaction to the documentary in the days just before its broadcast the first question was nearly always: "Is this the thyroid thing?" They had not seen the programme at this point, or heard what was in it, but the sport's jungle telegraph had been busy, with some lines getting crossed.
What followed would be at least a 10-minute conversation about the various loopholes that each athlete had heard that somebody else was exploiting - the level of distrust within the sport was frightening.
Coe did not like the comparison with cycling's recent past when it was put to him last week, saying the two situations - athletics now, cycling a decade ago - were "very, very different".
He might be right - and as former British sprinter Craig Pickering wrote in an excellent blog, there are a lot of clean athletes out there - but if the sport does not get a handle on what is and is not fair game it will get harder and harder to tell the difference. | For a fortnight in the UK, the story of the chemical shortcuts an American coach and his American athlete may have taken a decade ago has been the only story that has threatened Fifa's position in the sporting scandal stakes. |
What is the summary of the following document? | Scotland's last victory in the tournament came in Rome in 2014.
"If you put so much pressure on yourself to get a result, instead of trying to win the game, you can go to trying not to lose," said Glasgow Warriors centre Horne.
"If that happens, everyone goes into their shell and you can't have that."
Following defeats to England and Wales, Scotland return to the Stadio Olimpico, where Duncan Weir kicked a last-minute drop-goal for a 21-20 success two years ago.
And Horne, who is returning to the squad after a foot injury ruled him out of the competition's opening fortnight, believes the visitors must take a positive approach to get the best out of their attacking threats.
"We're here for a reason," said Horne, 26. "We've got some of the most exciting outside backs in the world and a fantastic group of players.
"What good is it if the likes of [full-back] Stuart Hogg and the others are getting worried about making mistakes?

"That's not going to help anyone. We need them to be expressing themselves.
"Any time Hoggy gets the ball in a bit of space I light up because I think something is going to happen. That's what we want. We want it to spread through the rest of the squad."
A muddled display against England was improved upon in Cardiff but several Scotland squad members are still waiting for their first taste of Six Nations victory.
"There's no-one hurting more than the players," added Horne, who has been capped 15 times.
"We're desperate to set the record straight and get that win. We're all gutted at how things have gone.
"We're trying to remain positive. We didn't play well against England but we did against Wales. There were some brilliant moments in Cardiff.
"What you can't forget though is that at this level, the differences between sides are so small. The games are decided on a few instances. The England game showed that. They had two chances and took them to win the game. We had a couple, didn't take them and lost.
"But we're still going in the right direction. It's easy to be negative but that won't get us anywhere.
"There are still three games left. We could win all three and people might see it as a successful Six Nations."

After a strong showing against France, Italy lost 40-9 at home to England but Horne thinks the scoreline does not tell the full story.
"We will need to be at our absolute best to win," he warned. "They should have beaten France in Paris
"They played some great rugby against England until an interception try knocked the wind out of their sails. The score certainly did not reflect the game.
"It will be tough be we should be excited about going over there and getting tore into them.
"We're looking for a great result and that would kick us on for the games against Ireland and France." | Peter Horne wants Scotland's backs to play with freedom against Italy and not be shackled by the pressure of ending a nine-match Six Nations losing streak. |
What is the summary of the following document? | However, police figures showed that just 19 of the 459 drivers caught were found to be between Scotland's old and new drink-drive limit.
The drink-drive limit was lowered at the beginning of December 2014.
The seasonal spike contrasts with a fall of 7.6% in the number of drivers caught in 2015 compared with 2014.
A total of 16,225 people were tested between 3 December 2015 to 1 January 2016 (an average of 579 drivers a day) with 459 found to be over the limit.
This compares with a total of 17,504 people tested during the previous festive enforcement campaign when 351 drivers were found to be over the legal limit.
The total number of drivers found to be over the legal limit in 2015 was 5,204 compared with a total number of 5,503 in 2014.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "It is encouraging to see that the number of people caught drink-driving has fallen since the introduction of the lower limit.
"Unfortunately, there is still a persistent minority of drivers who continue to ignore the law, particularly during the height of summer and over the festive season.
"Campaigns like this one help to reinforce the message that drink-driving is unacceptable.
"Of the 459 drivers caught drink-driving, just 19 were found to be between the old and new limit.
"This shows that the majority of those caught are well over the limit, which is why we are working with Police Scotland on enforcement campaigns like this to crack down on this persistent minority."
Ch Supt Andy Edmonston, head of road policing at Police Scotland, said: "Despite the encouraging 12 month-drop and general downward trend in the number of drink/drug-driving detections, it is disappointing that during the recent festive drink-drive campaign we caught 459 drivers who were prepared to cause danger to others as well as themselves.
"Road safety is a high priority for Police Scotland throughout the year and our officers will continue to target those who are intent on causing danger to others by driving whilst under the influence of drink.
"I would like to take this opportunity to also thank the many members of the public who phoned the police to report suspected drunk/drug-drivers during the festive period as this helped enable us to take appropriate action."
The drink-drive limit in Scotland was lowered on 4 December 2014, from 80mg of alcohol in every 100ml of blood to 50mg.
Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes said she was concerned that the number of breath tests conducted by Police Scotland was not recorded outside specific campaign periods.
"Without further information on the overall number of breath tests on motorists outside of drink-drive campaigns it is difficult to draw wider conclusions over drink-drive rates," she said.
"It is time that Police Scotland looked again at recording breath tests so we know whether fewer people are deciding to drink-drive or there are simply fewer people being tested." | The number of people found to be above the drink-drive limit over the festive period went up by almost a third compared with the previous year. |

Mo Diame had put Newcastle in front in extra-time but Robert Snodgrass equalised almost instantly.
"We deserved to win," a frustrated Benitez told BBC Newcastle.
"Penalties are a lottery. It's something we have to learn from. When you do well, you have to finish the openings."
The statistics back up Benitez's claims, with 32 shots on goal, although only five of them were on target.
Despite the result it was a much improved display from Saturday's Championship defeat by Blackburn, of which the Spaniard was critical.
"We were much better in the first half and we had a lot of chances, but we have to score more goals," he added.
"After extra-time we had a lot of chances, but we made mistakes in terms of managing the situation. We have to have more experience and control these things."
Keir Starmer QC said the move would help ensure "decision-making in these difficult cases is clear and consistent".
It comes after a footballer arrested over malicious communications was released without charge.
Mr Starmer said the message had not been "grossly offensive".
Port Talbot Town FC suspended midfielder Daniel Thomas, 28, last month after a homophobic message referring to Daley and fellow Olympic diver Peter Waterfield was sent to Daley's Twitter page.
Mr Starmer - the most senior prosecutor in England and Wales - said the case highlighted the "growing number involving the use of social media".
He said new guidelines were required because "there are likely to be many more - the recent increase in the use of social media has been profound".
Estimates suggest there are 340 million messages posted each day on Twitter - where "banter, jokes and offensive comment are commonplace and often spontaneous", Mr Starmer said.
"Communications intended for a few may reach millions."
Mr Starmer went on: "Social media is a new and emerging phenomenon raising difficult issues of principle, which have to be confronted not only by prosecutors, but also by others including the police, the courts and service providers.
"The fact that offensive remarks may not warrant a full criminal prosecution does not necessarily mean that no action should be taken.
"In my view, the time has come for an informed debate about the boundaries of free speech in an age of social media."
Mr Starmer also announced "a wide public consultation" would take place before final guidelines were published.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's PM programme, he added that the threshold for prosecution should be high.
"Free speech is fundamental, it's very important it's respected and therefore a criminal prosecution should be reserved for cases that cross a high threshold and the law requires it to be grossly offensive," he said. | Newcastle United had enough chances to beat Hull City before losing Tuesday's EFL Cup quarter-final in a penalty shoot-out, says manager Rafael Benitez.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Alexander Thomson, 33, from Clapham in south London, leaned forward and hit Tom Hulme, 23, after he threw the shoe.
Initially, he got out the car and appeared fine, but then he collapsed on the pavement. He died in hospital the next day from a brain haemorrhage.
The judge said the incident arose "out of trivial, friendly horseplay".
Mr Hulme's family said their lives had been "submerged in sadness and sorrow" since the tragic incident, which occurred in Farringdon Street, central London, during the last August bank holiday weekend.
Prosecutor Timothy Cray said Thomson, who has three previous convictions for alcohol-related violence, admitted drinking four pints at lunchtime on the day of the assault, before going back to work and later having up to five bottles of beer, four vodkas, three shots of Jagermeister and two small snorts of cocaine.
He met up with a friend who knew Mr Hulme and they were heading for a party in a taxi when the incident happened.
Mr Cray said the "unexpected blow" caused a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage, which is a type of stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain.
Defending, Lisa Wilding QC said: "He is properly described as traumatised and tormented by the irreparable damage caused to Mr Hulme's family. None of that seeks to excuse his actions."
The Old Bailey heard Thomson admitted manslaughter at the first opportunity.
Judge Anthony Bate said: "A talented and intelligent young man had a promising life snatched away from him in early adulthood after you lashed out at him in a moment of drunken hot temper.
"You must live with that responsibility."
The victim, who was originally from Leeds, had worked as a recruitment consultant.

Please summarize the document below. | The couple gained the accolade after a donation of 18 million Facebook shares to a Silicon Valley foundation.
The donation, worth more than $970m (£590m), was the largest in the US in 2013.
The gift outstripped philanthropists such as Bill and Melinda Gates, the Chronicle of Philanthropy said.
Mr Zuckerberg and his wife made the $970m donation to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a charity that manages and distributes charitable funds.
The shares have helped to make the foundation one of the largest in the US, the Chronicle of Philanthropy said.
Over the past two years, Mr Zuckerberg and Ms Chan have donated about 36 million Facebook shares to the foundation.
Funds have broadly been distributed to education and health, with $5m being distributed to a health clinic in East Palo Alto, for example.

Summarize the following content briefly. | The midfielder, 24, has made nine Premier League appearances for Bournemouth since joining the Cherries on a season-long loan in August.
Wilshere has 18 months left on his Gunners deal, and Wenger said he has not spoken to the England international since he left on loan.
But, speaking of contract talks, Wenger said: "We have to plan that around the new year."
Wilshere has struggled with a number of injuries in recent seasons and made only three appearances for the Gunners in 2015-16.
In contrast, he has started Bournemouth's past eight league matches and was recently recalled by England, for whom he was an unused substitute against Scotland and Spain earlier this month.
"That's exactly what he needed - to have regular football, maybe not every three days but every week at the start," said Wenger.
"That has helped him a lot to develop and come back to the level he deserves to be at.
"He gets regular football and now on the observations I get from our people who watch him, he's getting stronger every week.
"I leave him to deal with his manager. I read the reports and when I can see highlights or watch him on television, I will watch him."
Eddie Howe's Bournemouth face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Sunday with Wilshere - who has said he wants the Cherries to win - ineligible to face his parent club.

The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for Monday and Tuesday. Ferry operator CalMac said 17 of its 26 services have been disrupted.
Southerly gales with gusts reaching speeds of up to 50mph and heavy rain have been forecast.
Winds gusting up to 70mph could affect the Irish Sea with large waves on the west coast, the Met Office said.
The warning said: "An unseasonably windy spell is likely across many parts of the UK later on Monday, overnight and well into Tuesday, as active frontal systems sweep across the UK.
"Given the unseasonable nature of the winds, the public should be aware of the potential for disruption to transport and outdoor activities. Damage to some trees seems likely."
Ferry services affected included sailings between Oban and Lochboisdale and Oban and Castlebay, also Ardrossan and Brodick and sailings to Gigha.
Nicola Brown, 43, from Portsmouth, was also found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to her son, Jake.
His father, Jason Brown, 44, was found not guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Winchester Crown Court was told Jake had previously suffered 17 broken ribs.
As the verdicts were delivered, Nicola Brown shouted: "I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
Jurors heard how Jake died on 19 December 2014 due to "an impact to the head requiring substantial force".
The court was played a 999 call made by Brown, in which she said he had stopped breathing while she was feeding him.
She told the operator he had fallen out of his Moses basket the day before.
The broken ribs had been caused by an adult squeezing him, the court was told.
Brown had not informed her doctor she was expecting Jake and social services were alerted to the "concealed pregnancy".
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said Jake had been born in "unusual circumstances" at the couple's former home in Agincourt Road.
He said: "He arrived into this world by falling into and being caught by the pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms of Nicola Brown."
He said Brown, later of Seymour Road, had a "short fuse" and her attack on Jake was motivated by "anger".
Det Supt Scott MacKechnie said: "The treatment of newborn Jake by his own mother is very upsetting and shocking.
"This has been a complex investigation piecing together evidence of what occurred during Jake's 19 days of life, to establish how he died and who was responsible."
Portsmouth Safeguarding Children's Board confirmed a serious case review would be held into Jake's death.
Sentencing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
Sheriff Hutton Castle's remains date back to the 14th Century, with the English king's son thought to be buried at a nearby church.
The sale also includes a large house and annexe, a cottage, outbuildings and gardens situated on 11.5 acres of land.
Previously owned by eight English monarchs including Henry VIII, it was last inhabited in the mid-16th Century.
The southwest tower is the most complete part of the castle's remains, standing at five storeys high.
Henry Scott, from Boulton and Cooper Stephensons estate agents, described the sale as "totally unique and very unusual".
He said: "The estate has been in the sellers' family since the 1940s and it's been a wrench for them to put it up for sale.
"There's already been a smattering of interest and I fully anticipate it attracting interest from far and wide, possibly even abroad given the connections to Richard III."

Please summarize the document below. | The circles consist of barren ground, ringed by grass and measuring 2-15m (7-49ft) in diameter.
Computer modelling and field work suggest they could be caused by plants taking advantage of termite activity.
Researchers from the universities of Strathclyde and Princeton outlined the theory in the journal Nature.
Until recently, the phenomenon was thought to be confined to the Namib desert in southern Africa. But in 2014, similar circles were observed in western Australia.
For many years, scientists have debated the possible causes.
Some have argued they are the result of sand termites eating the roots of vegetation while others have suggested that competition between different plant species is the cause.
The new explanation seeks to unify both theories by suggesting it is the interaction between the two that gives rise to the fairy circles.
Termites remove vegetation above their mound in order to conserve water. Vegetation at the perimeter of the mound then takes advantage of the increased moisture levels to grow taller.
Dr Juan Bonachela from the University of Strathclyde's Department of Mathematics and Statistics, said: "There have long been two theories on how these regular patterns, and especially fairy circles, are formed, and both theories are normally presented as mutually exclusive.
"Our findings harmonise both theories and find a possible explanation for regular vegetation patterns observed around the globe.
"In the case of fairy circles, termites remove vegetation on their mounds to increase moisture, which is essential for the insects' survival in dry environments, thus creating the bare disk.
"Vegetation around the mound takes advantage of this water accumulation to grow, and this taller vegetation forms the circle. Regular repetition of the pattern results from different termite colonies competing next to one another.
"This behaviour affects the whole ecosystem, allowing it to survive harsher conditions and recover from droughts much more quickly than if there were no termites."
The research used field data from four different continents and computer simulations.

IAG chief executive Willie Walsh said: "We will continue to serve (the Northern Ireland) market."
The first and deputy first ministers had called for the full retention of services between Belfast and Heathrow run by Aer Lingus and British Airways.
The two airlines, owned by IAG, operate 63 services between them each week from George Belfast Belfast City Airport to and from London.
Mr Walsh said: "We will continue to serve that market because it is a good market.

"For the first time we are looking for a wider catchment plan for the whole Calder Valley and we are seeing some real work being done.
"We have a plan that goes from the top of the moorlands to the river bottom."

To find the couple, Hertfordshire Police first checked the local electoral role and found one man with the surname in Royston, who said it originated from Cheshire.
That led them to an address in Warrington and after Mr Minshull answered a few security questions, it was clear they were the owners and he picked up the money earlier this month.
Police community support officer Penny Tomsett said: "We are over the moon to have been able to reunite Mr Minshull with the folder. Royston is a lovely town and most people here are still very community-minded and honest.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the mystery Good Samaritan who put the folder into the police postbox."

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The foreign ministers of four Arab countries, meeting in Cairo, said they regretted Qatar's "negative" response to their list of demands.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE severed ties with Qatar last month.
They accuse it of supporting jihadi groups, and called for major changes in its policies.
The diplomats said Qatar lacked "understanding of the seriousness and gravity of the situation".
The Saudi foreign minister said further steps would be taken against Qatar at the appropriate time, and would be in line with international law.
"We're not doing this because we want to hurt Qatar, we're doing this to help Qatar," Adel bin Ahmed al-Jubeir said.
The meeting came as the deadline for Qatar to accept the list of demands or face further sanctions expired.
The bloc's demands to Qatar include shutting down the Al Jazeera channel and scaling down ties with Iran, as well as handing over individuals wanted for terrorism and aligning itself politically and economically Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC).
Speaking in London before the four ministers' statement, the Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani described the cutting of ties with his country as "a siege that is a clear aggression and an insult".
"The answer to our disagreement is not blockades and ultimatums, it is dialogue and reason," he added.
The small oil- and gas-rich nation is dependent on imports to meet the basic needs of its population of 2.7 million.
As its only land border is now closed, food is having to be shipped or flown in.
Mr Thani said this could be sustained "indefinitely".

Summarize the content of the document below. | The bones of the extinct, flightless bird were sold at Summers Place Auctions, in Billingshurst, West Sussex, to a private collector.
The remains were compiled by a dodo enthusiast over four decades until he had enough bones to create a 95% complete skeleton.
Humans are thought to have driven the bird to extinction in the 17th Century so rapidly that few traces remain.
The auction house said the total paid would be £346,300, ($430,662) which included its fee.
It said there were only 12 similarly complete skeletons in existence and all were held by museums.
The dodo was a flightless bird once found on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean.
It was first seen by Portuguese sailors in the first decade of the 16th Century but was soon wiped out by humans and the animals they introduced. The dodo was extinct by 1681.
Bigger than a turkey, it was thought to weigh about 23kg (50lb), with blue-grey plumage, a big head, a nine-inch (23cm) blackish bill with reddish sheath forming the hooked tip, small useless wings, stout yellow legs and a tuft of curly feathers high on its rear end.
All that remains of the dodo is a head and foot at Oxford, a foot in the British Museum, a head in Copenhagen, and skeletons - in varying degrees of completion - at museums in Europe, the United States and Mauritius.
Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica
The private collector offering it for sale only lacked part of the skull and one set of claws when he assembled the specimen in the early 2000s.
The majority of the bones in the specimen were recovered from the Mare aux Songes swamp, in south-eastern Mauritius, in the 19th Century.
The Mauritian government has since banned all exports of dodo bones. | A near-complete skeleton of a dodo has been sold at auction for £280,000. |

The 22-year-old faces Clermont Auvergne in Saturday's European Champions Cup final, as Saracens look to defend their title at Murrayfield.
Itoje, the youngest tourist with the British and Irish Lions this summer, says as a kid he looked up to former England wings Ugo Monye and Topsy Ojo.
"If I want to be honest, it's because they were black," said Itoje.
Speaking to 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast, Itoje, who was was born in Camden to Nigerian parents, added: "They were the guys I looked up to and who I had a natural affinity to.
"You look around at the type of schools I went to, there are not many black guys playing rugby, or as many black guys when you watch Premiership and international games - though it is changing a little bit now.
"You see before games at Allianz Park these mini rugby festivals, I tend to look around and see who is playing and there are a lot more BAME [black, Asian and minority ethnic] kids about. So it's good, and it is definitely improving."
In a wide-ranging interview, Itoje also discussed being the youngest member of the Lions squad, Muhammad Ali, and the importance of his faith.
Itoje made his England debut in 2016 and his 12 caps have included two Six Nations titles - including a Grand Slam in 2016 - plus a 3-0 series whitewash of Australia down under last summer.
His performances for club and country have earned him a place in Warren Gatland's 41-man Lions squad to face New Zealand this summer.
As the youngest member of the squad, he will have the responsibility of looking after the soft-toy tour mascot, Billy.
"I've heard that players try and sabotage it," he said. "I am going to have to keep quite it tight to me, I don't think I can trust anybody, I heard there are some severe punishments."
Speaking about the tour, he added: "I am looking forward to the whole experience. I think it is going to be a real eye-opening experience for me.
"A lot of these guys, I know who they are but I don't really know them - so it will be interesting to get to know these guys, build new relationships and new bonds. And from what I hear, these bonds tend to last a very long time."
Itoje says his sporting idol is the three-time world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, who died last year aged 74.
Aside from his sporting achievements in the ring, Ali was also a civil rights campaigner who transcended the bounds of sport, race and nationality.
"Obviously his skills in the ring are unbelievable, but what makes him so impressive was his mind," added Itoje, who has lost just once in his England career.
"How he was able to captivate an audience and speak to a crowd. Whether you liked him or not you still respected him. For me, he is well and truly the greatest.
"For me the biggest [thing] was how he put his religious and political beliefs before the boxing. He wasn't afraid of speaking out, when other athletes were afraid of speaking out.
"He wasn't doing this at the end [of his career], he started doing this when he was 21, when he was world champion. He's just an incredible person to look up to."
Itoje, who is a devout Christian, added: "Once you reach a certain level - play for your club and your country - naturally you get a bit of a following and have people of a younger generation looking up to you.
"You go on the pitch and try and play your best and give the best representation of yourself. The by-product of doing that stuff well is people of a younger generation will follow, in the way that when I was a younger player, watching the greats of the past were the same kind of inspiration."
Itoje, who can play lock or blind-side flanker, was named man of the match as Saracens became champions of Europe for the first time as they beat Top 14 side Racing 92 in Lyon last May.
On Saturday in Edinburgh they face two-time runners-up Clermont, who have finished second in France's top division regular season to qualify for the play-offs.
"Their fans are probably the loudest, most passionate group I've come across," said Itoje.
"Big games are always different," added the reigning European Player of the Year. "There is always an extra edge and everyone is a bit sharper and more switched on during the week. There is more of a build-up, a bit more anxiety in the lead-up to the game.
"It's going to be special. Clermont are a top side. We are going to prepare unbelievably well. We will leave no stone unturned and make sure we are the best we can be." | England forward Maro Itoje says he will be "proud" if he can be a role model for young black rugby players. |

Welsh athlete Stanford, the 2013 world champion, won her first race of the season, finishing six seconds ahead of fellow Briton Jodie Stimpson.
"I'm delighted to walk away with the win and I guess it bodes well for the rest of the season," said Stanford, who is preparing for the Rio 2016 Olympics.
"It was a bit of a confidence boost and I loved being back out there."
The 27-year-old added: "I was quite apprehensive before the race and didn't really know what to expect.
"We'd been training really hard since the New Year but I didn't feel like I was in the best race shape.
"Obviously that's not the aim for this time of year, the aim is to keep building towards August."
Stanford won in 59 minutes 49 seconds in South Africa, ahead of Stimpson with Bermuda's Flora Duffy coming third.
Commonwealth champion Stimpson has missed out on Olympic selection after Wales' Helen Jenkins got the nod from British selectors.
Stanford and her training partner Vicky Holland had previously booked their places in GB's three-athlete team for Rio by finishing second and third respectively in the 2015 World Triathlon final last September.
Holland and Stimpson had won the Cape Town race for the previous two years, while Jenkins had won the previous World Series event on Australia's Gold Coast.
Swansea-born Stanford was delighted to have continued Britain's success not only in South Africa but in the World Series.
"It's great to be part of the team at the minute and atmosphere is fantastic," Stanford told BBC Wales Sport.
"We push each other on to better performances and I strongly believe in the mantra of success breeds success.
"We're pushing each other on to keep delivering the goods for Great Britain."
In the year to December, 605,595 Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) claimants faced sanctions, compared with 899,576 in the previous year.
The fall is likely to be as a result of many claimants finding work.
However, those claiming employment and support allowance (ESA) saw sanctions rise by nearly two thirds.
ESA, formerly known as incapacity benefit, is paid to those who are ill or disabled.
The number of people facing a stop in ESA payments rose from 22,579 in 2013 to 36,810 in 2014.
The figures do not show whether the proportion of claimants being sanctioned is rising or falling.
Nor do they show how many claimants actually had payments stopped, after going through the appeals process.
The practice of stopping payments is controversial. People can have their benefits stopped or cut for various reasons, such as missing Jobcentre appointments.
A Conservative business minister in the last government questioned the way sanctions are applied, while a committee of MPs has twice called for an inquiry into how they work.
The Department for Work and Pensions says the sanctions regime is a necessary part of the benefits system.
It said 94% of JSA claimants, and 99% of ESA claimants, were not sanctioned each month.
"We offer tailored employment support to jobseekers, and these figures show that more people are taking up that support and moving into work with the security of a regular wage," said the new employment minister, Priti Patel.
The most common reason for payments being stopped is that claimants are failing to look for work.
In extreme cases, payments can now be blocked for up to three years.
It is thought that the government may consider cuts to ESA, as part of its promised £12bn reduction in the welfare budget. | Men who commit adultery could be sent to jail under a new law being debated by parliament in Cameroon.

Summarize the following content briefly. | The death watch beetles are eating away at 900-year-old Hay Castle, and work to tackle the problem is beginning as part of a planned restoration of the site.
Last week conservationists discovered there was current activity by the beetles in the castle's timbers.
The castle was built in the late 12th Century by the powerful Norman Lord William de Braose.
It was formerly owned by Richard Booth, the man credited with transforming the fortunes of the town of Hay by making it a worldwide name for second-hand books, but in 2011 it was taken over the Hay Castle trust.
Managing director Nancy Lavin Albert told BBC Wales: "Any ancient timber conservationist would not be totally shocked to find evidence of death watch beetles in a structure of this age.
"We knew there was evidence of death watch beetles [in 2011] because we could see the very distinctive flight holes of the death watch beetle which are quite large."
After monitoring the timbers, they discovered current activity by the beetles, but are not sure yet of the extent of the problem.
She added: "It's very hard to treat chemically. The main thing we can do .... is to keep the timbers dry."
The trust has received £0.5m in development funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and are applying for £5m in total to transform the castle, conserving its medieval and Jacobean buildings and creating a new centre for arts and culture. | Tiny beetles are threatening to do what centuries of siege and war failed to do to a Powys castle: bring it down. |

Please give a summary of the document below. | Riley, 27, played for Wrexham in 2012-13 and helped the club to the FA Trophy as they beat Grimsby Town on penalties.
The defender began his career with hometown club Wolves but did not make a first-team appearance.
He joined Tranmere from Mansfield Town last summer but played just 16 games in an injury-plagued season.
Derek McLennan, a retired businessman from Ayrshire, made the find in Dumfriesshire in September.
In total, more than 100 items were recovered, including armbands, a cross and brooches.
Experts have said the discovery is one of the most important Viking hoards ever found in Scotland.
The items are believed to be worth a six-figure sum.
Mr McLennan last year uncovered Scotland's biggest haul of medieval silver coins.
Among the objects within the hoard is an early Christian cross thought to date from the 9th or 10th Century.
The solid silver cross has enamelled decorations which experts consider to be highly unusual.
The haul also includes possibly the largest silver Carolingian pot ever discovered, with its lid still in place.
The pot is likely to have been around 100 years old when the hoard was buried in the mid 9th or 10th Centuries.
Stuart Campbell, National Museum of Scotland's head of Scotland's treasure trove unit, said: "This is a hugely significant find, nothing like this has been found in Scotland before in terms of the range of material this hoard represents.
"There's material from Ireland, from Scandinavia, from various places in central Europe and perhaps ranging over a couple of centuries.
"So this has taken some effort for individuals to collect together."
Mr McLennan said he had dragged himself out of his sick bed to pursue his passion for metal detecting on the day he found the Viking treasure.
He had been given permission to search the site and after an hour he found a silver object, at first he thought it was a spoon but when he rubbed the surface he recognised the Viking decoration.
Further excavation unearthed more than a hundred items of silver and gold including a bird pen, metal vessel, armbands, cross and brooches. Experts say it's one of the most significant Viking hoards ever found in Scotland.
He said: "I dragged myself out of my sick bed because I had two friends that wanted to detect and I'm a bit of an obsessive.
"I unearthed the first piece, initially I didn't understand what I had found because I thought it was a silver spoon and then I turned it over and wiped my thumb across it and I saw the Saltire-type of design and knew instantly it was Viking.
"Then my senses exploded, I went into shock, endorphins flooded my system and away I went stumbling towards my colleagues waving it in the air."
Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs said: "The Vikings were well known for having raided these shores in the past, but today we can appreciate what they have left behind, with this wonderful addition to Scotland's cultural heritage.
"It's clear that these artefacts are of great value in themselves, but their greatest value will be in what they can contribute to our understanding of life in early medieval Scotland, and what they tell us about the interaction between the different peoples in these islands at that time.
"The Dumfries hoard opens a fascinating window on a formative period in the story of Scotland and just goes to show how important our archaeological heritage in Scotland continues to be."
"As ever, the Scottish government will work to facilitate and support the discovery, analysis and exhibiting of finds like this, for the benefit of people here and abroad.
"With that in mind I would like to echo the praise for the responsible behaviour of the metal detectorists: without their continued cooperation this would not be possible." | Wrexham have signed defender Martin Riley following a season with Tranmere Rovers as he joins the club for the second time.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The crash, involving a black Mercedes saloon and a black Audi estate, happened on the A50 in Markfield on Friday evening.
A woman and a boy, who were passengers in the Mercedes, were pronounced dead at the scene.
A third passenger in the Mercedes, a young girl, is said to be in a stable condition at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
The driver of the Mercedes sustained minor injuries and was discharged from hospital after treatment.
One of the two passengers in the Audi, a woman, sustained serious injuries and is also said to be in a stable condition.
The driver of the Audi, a man, and the second passenger, a young girl, sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
A 39-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after the crash, has been released on police bail.
That is particularly true around the thorny and politically toxic issue of aviation.
The government has said it will make a decision by the end of the month on its preferred option for expansion at either Gatwick, or a new or extended runway at Heathrow.
While the expansion hawks want a new runway at Heathrow now - whatever the government's decision next week - the process up to construction will not be quick.
The previous Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, outlined last February to the Transport Select Committee what would happen once a decision was made.
He said: "...there will be a draft National Policy Statement (NPS) published for consultation and laid in Parliament. This is published a minimum of four weeks after the announcement on the runway location to avoid the legal risk of pre-determination.
"There is no decision yet on the length of the public consultation, but it could be 16 weeks. A Commons Select Committee will examine the draft NPS and hold a full-blown inquiry for 12 weeks immediately following the public consultation.
"The Commons Select Committee will submit a report to me by the end of the 12-week period. Once a final NPS is laid, debates and votes must happen within 21 sitting days of the House. At any time after the vote, or it could be the same day, if there is a negative vote, the Secretary of State will change and lay a new NPS, again for 21 voting days."
So, there will be around a year before Parliament gets a vote on that National Policy Statement. The Government will be expected to address concerns over noise and pollution.
And it is then, and only then, that it enters the planning process.
First the developer submits a development to the planning inspectorate. Then there is a planning inquiry over six months. Then the planning inspector reports to the Secretary of State within three months.
And finally the Secretary of State will consider the report and announce a decision within a further three months.
So an actual "final" announcement could be two years from the initial Government decision - and that is with a fair wind.
There will be gaps and delays in the process, there are those who think two years is the absolute minimum and the reality is it will take at least four years before a "final decision".
None of the timescales include the legal challenges that could slow down the process further. (Bear in mind this is meant to be a quicker process than was in place previously).
History tells us how difficult it is to build new runways in the South East and how strong the opposition is.
There have been many inquiries, commissions and consultations. Plans have come and gone. There have been proposals at Cublington in Buckinghamshire, Maplin Sands in the Estuary, Stansted and the previous Northern runway at Heathrow.
All fell off the table during the long process as the politics shifted. Even Labour, with its large majority under Tony Blair, could not get far enough through the process to build at Heathrow.
Recently, Howard Davies - in charge of the latest Airports Commission - perhaps pertinently noted: "The London airport capacity problem has perplexed governments for over 50 years, for reasons that are not hard to find.
"The considerable benefits of aviation accrue to the many, while the environmental costs are borne by the (relatively) few. For those who live near them airports are noisy neighbours and are greedy for space.
"In a congested corner of a crowded island it is not easy to find a good home for them. No new full-length runway has been laid down in the South East of England since the 1940s."

Please summarize the following text. | Student activist Alex Chow said the leader's comments were "irresponsible", and said Mr Leung had not provided any evidence to support his claim.
Pro-democracy demonstrations have paralysed parts of Hong Kong for the past three weeks.
The protesters are calling for fully democratic elections in Hong Kong.
They are angered by the Chinese government's decision to vet candidates for the leadership polls in 2017.
In an interview with local broadcaster ATV, Mr Leung said the protests were "not entirely a domestic movement, as external forces are involved" - although he declined to give details or name the countries he thought were involved.
Mr Chow, from the Hong Kong Federation of Students, said: "To make a statement that there are foreign powers infiltrating this movement right before the discussions, is evidence that CY [Leung] is hoping to crack down on the entire movement."
One protester, Jeffrey Hui, told the BBC: "This is something which is purely by citizens, purely by those who live in Hong Kong, those who care about Hong Kong, who stand up and go against the regime."
Mainland Chinese officials have frequently warned against "foreign interference" in Hong Kong, while Chinese state media have accused the West of "instigating" the protests.
Analysts have argued that China could be making allegations of interference to discourage foreign governments from supporting the protests.
Tens of thousands of people took part in demonstrations earlier this month demanding full democracy.
While protest numbers have dwindled in recent days, activists remain entrenched in the Admiralty and Causeway Bay areas of Hong Kong Island, and in Mong Kok, a residential and shopping district across the harbour.
Police and protesters have scuffled amid tense stand-offs in recent days, although no clashes were reported on Sunday night.
There have been some police operations to move barricades and tents from the protest sites, but police have not managed to clear the protest areas.
Mr Leung would not confirm whether the government would attempt to clear the demonstrations again, but said: "We need time to talk to the people, particularly young students. What I want is to see a peaceful and a meaningful end to this problem."
Mr Leung added that the protests had "gone out of control even for the people who started it. They cannot end the movement, which is a major concern".
The protesters, who are mostly students, accuse Mr Leung of failing to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party.
Student leaders and Hong Kong officials have agreed to hold negotiations on Tuesday. The talks will be broadcast live on television.

A second day is scheduled for January 10, with Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns "optimistic" AMs will give it their consent a week later before it completes its parliamentary journey.
In other news, MPs have been debating the impact of Brexit on businesses in Wales.
The Brexit secretary says the UK government's plan won't be published before February.
And Alun Cairns has been accused of slaying the dragon in the Wales Office logo. The dragon, with its motto - "y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn" - has been replaced by a UK government logo as the Wales Office now styles itself "UK Government Wales" on social media.
The Wales Office said it made the change because too many people in Wales don't know which government is responsible for what.
But Shadow Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens said: "When Brexit presents Wales with its biggest challenge since the Second World War, it's pretty unbelievable that Alun Cairns is wasting time and taxpayers money trying and failing to make his stationery look nicer.
"The minister can't give a straight answer on whether businesses in Wales will get a decent deal from Brexit, and astonishingly he's now killed the Wales office dragon from the logo - the public will be absolutely baffled by his behaviour and rightly wonder if his priorities lie with Wales at all."
A Wales Office spokesperson said: "The reason for the change in branding is that in Wales, too many people still don't know precisely which government is responsible for what, and can be confused when receiving communications from a number of different departments...so we believe it is important that we demonstrate a unified UK government voice so people are aware of what services that the UK government provides in Wales, and what it is accountable for."

Third seed Murray went down 6-4 6-3 6-2 in two hours and 15 minutes to ensure he will not repeat last year's victory at Flushing Meadows.
The Briton, who won his second major title at Wimbledon two months ago, had reached the final at his last four Grand Slam tournaments.
"I don't know if I'm meant to win every Grand Slam I play or be in the final," said Murray, 26. "It's just very, very difficult just now. With the guys around us, it's very challenging.
"I have played my best tennis in the Slams the last two, three years. I lost today in straight sets, so that's disappointing. I would have liked to have gone further but I can't complain.
"If someone told me before the US Open last year I would have been here as defending champion, having won Wimbledon and Olympic gold, I would have taken that 100%.
"So I'm disappointed, but the year as a whole has been a good one."
Murray admitted there had been something of a comedown after the high of winning Wimbledon, but insisted he had been focused and well prepared in New York.
"When you work hard for something for a lot of years, it's going to take a bit of time to really fire yourself up and get yourself training 110%," said the Scot.

"It was really windy, not easy conditions, but my plan was to push him to be aggressive because I know that Andy can be a little bit too defensive.

Ministers are giving head teachers across the country direct access to the £120m.
The money is being divided according to how many children in primary classes and the first three years of secondary school are entitled to free meals.
The list reveals that 2,513 primary, secondary and special schools will benefit from the new scheme.
The money is in addition to the funding schools receive from their local council.
The Scottish government will give the money directly to head teachers who will be able to spend it on whatever they think will help them raise attainment.
The cash was originally going to come from changes to council tax bands, but will now come from the government's own resources.
After publishing the details, Education Secretary John Swinney said: "I want every child in Scotland to have the best possible start in life, and it is unacceptable for children from the poorest backgrounds to have their chances limited by circumstances outside their control.
"This government has made clear our priority is to close the poverty-related attainment gap and our new £120m Pupil Equity Funding is aimed at doing just that."
£120m
Value of the fund
100,127
Pupils who will benefit
1,928 - Primary schools
358 - Secondary schools
112 - Special schools
Dalmarnock Primary in Glasgow will receive £278,400 from the fund.
Its head teacher Nancy Clunie said the money would make a "huge difference" to children at the school.
She added: "We already do a lot of work with our partners to put on activities involving parents to improve the health and wellbeing of the whole family, as less stressed children make better learners.
"For example, we have a weekly family meal and homework group and a summer club during the school holidays. The Pupil Equity Funding will enable us to expand these activities".
Following publication of the attainment fund details, Labour's education spokesman Daniel Johnson said that the SNP's "sums simply don't add up on schools funding".
He added: "Ministers cannot cut the gap between the richest and the rest while they slash £327m from local education budgets across Scotland.
"Head teachers will see this new funding alongside shrinking budgets, so it's simply SNP spin after £1.4bn of cuts since 2011."
The Scottish Green Party's education spokesman Ross Greer said it was "just not true" that the £120m pot of money was additional when they are "proposing deep cuts to council budgets".
He added: "If we're really going to close the gap between the most and least privileged children we won't do it through education alone.
"We need to eradicate child poverty through better paying jobs, warmer and more affordable homes and strong public services, which Greens are fighting for in parliament and in councils across Scotland."
Liz Smith from the Scottish Conservatives welcomed the government's bid to reduce the gap, but she was worried children in smaller schools had missed out.
Of 2,500 primary and secondaries, 114 mostly smaller schools would be getting no money this year.
Ms Smith said: "It's essential no pupils who need it miss out on this cash.
"There does appear to be a higher number of schools in Scotland being left out than in England.
"Now the Scottish government needs to provide assurances that this is because the money there is not needed, rather than a fault in methodology." | A man has died after he was found with stab wounds in a street in Kirkcaldy on Saturday afternoon.

"Indian Muslims will live for India and die for India," Mr Modi told CNN in his first major broadcast interview.
Earlier this month, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri said al-Qaeda in India would "raise the flag of jihad".
India issued a security alert in several states after the announcement.
Correspondents say that although al-Qaeda has no presence on the ground in India, there is concern it is trying to reach out to disaffected Muslim youths, especially in Kashmir and Gujarat.
"My understanding is that they are doing injustice towards the Muslims of our country. If anyone thinks Indian Muslims will dance to their tune, they are delusional. Indian Muslims...will not want anything bad for India," Mr Modi told the news channel, which aired excerpts of the pre-recorded interview on Friday.

But at the last moment Mr Netanyahu ordered MP Oren Hazan to pull out.
Relations between the two neighbouring countries have been strained since a shooting at the end of July.
On 23 July, an Israeli security guard shot dead two Jordanians near Israel's embassy in Jordan.
One was killed after he attacked the guard with a screwdriver. The second was inadvertently shot dead, Israel says. Jordan has called for the guard to be put on trial.
Mr Hazan - a member of Mr Netanyahu's right-of-centre Likud party - has been described by The Times of Israel as the country's "most unruly lawmaker" and "the enfant terrible of Israel's parliament".
He tweeted on the day of the shooting that Jordanians "who we keep supplied with water and whose butts we defend day and night" required "re-education".
His comments provoked a belligerent response from Jordanian lawmaker Yahya al-Saud, who also has a reputation as a firebrand.
"Let him meet me, if he is a man," Mr Saud said. He went on to call Mr Hazan a "loser" who "without the USA's protection would be defenceless".

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Having initially been frustrated by their opponents, the Gunners led at half-time thanks to Olivier Giroud's powerful, close-range finish.
Alex Iwobi's strike looped in via a big deflection off Jack Cork to double their advantage, and Kyle Naughton scored a second Swansea own goal when he turned another Iwobi shot into his own net.
Alexis Sanchez completed the rout to lift Arsenal up to third in the table, while Hull's win over Bournemouth means Swansea return to the bottom of the table.
Despite some encouraging signs early in the game, this was a stark reminder to former Bayern Munich assistant manager Clement of the enormous task he faces to steer the Swans to safety.
By contrast, the ruthless nature of Arsenal's display - particularly in an extremely one-sided second half - will surely give Arsene Wenger renewed hope of mounting a serious title challenge.
The Gunners' bid for a first title since 2004 had stuttered lately, largely due to an away record of one point from their past three Premier League matches on the road.
Although they started slowly against the high-pressing Swans, the visitors settled thanks to a goal from an increasingly reliable source.
Giroud started this game with 12 goals from his past 17 shots on target, and the France striker was clinical with his first effort on this occasion, seizing on Mesut Ozil's blocked header and firing the ball into the roof of the net from six yards.
Arsenal took control from that point and a period of concerted pressure early in the second half saw the floodgates open.
There was an element of luck about the second and third goals, but they were no more than the Gunners deserved for their dominance of possession and inventive use of it around the Swansea penalty area.
The irrepressible Sanchez finally got in on the act after 73 minutes, volleying in from close range to score his 21st goal in 32 Premier League appearances.
There was a certain symmetry to Clement's first league game in charge, coming as it did against an Arsenal side who had beaten Swansea 3-2 at the start of his predecessor Bob Bradley's short tenure.
One of Clement's priorities is to improve the Swans' defence - the most porous in the top flight - and the way his players shackled Arsenal early on with their high pressing was encouraging.
But after falling behind, the home side simply collapsed.
They were slack in their marking and slow to react to the Gunners' movement, summed up by the space in which Sanchez found himself in the Swansea box when he scored the fourth.
Swansea find themselves back at the bottom of the table and with a tough run of fixtures to come - Liverpool and Manchester City are two of their next three opponents.
The threat of relegation is as startling a reality as ever.
Swansea boss Paul Clement: "It is very disappointing. The first half we were in the game and looked solid defensively, even though we did not do enough offensively. We got caught on the counter for the first goal.
"We had a big claim for a penalty. Looking back on it, it is a penalty. In the second half, we started poorly and then it was an uphill struggle after the first own goal. Arsenal showed how much quality they have offensively."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "The first half was very intense physically, they gave a lot in the first half and then our pace took over. They had problems containing us.
"In the second half, you could see we could create chances. Our transition and accuracy of passing was very good. We were fortunate with the goals, but the chances were there."

Ex-England midfielder Danny Murphy: "Arsenal have missed Mesut Ozil for a few games but he made a big difference against Swansea. Ozil was exceptional in crucial areas of the pitch.
"He makes the right decisions nine times out of 10. Ozil gives that extra quality and class in final third. Arsenal are a better team when he is in it. Alexis Sanchez and Ozil together make Arsenal an exceptional and dangerous team.
"Paul Clement will be on training pitch as long as he can. He is a workaholic. He will be quite savvy in the transfer market. He will improve Swansea but whether it will be enough, we'll have to wait and see."
Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright on Swansea's penalty appeal: "Swans boss Paul Clement said he thought it was a penalty. I didn't think it was. Ki Sung-yueng was searching for the (Laurent Koscielny's) foot and I think he kicks the foot. Those have been given."
On Sanchez's reaction to being taken off: "He is disappointed. He doesn't want to be taken off. He's so integral to Arsenal. If Sanchez is not there, there is massive problem."
It does not get any easier for Swansea as they travel to Liverpool next Saturday (kick-off 12:30 GMT), while Arsenal host Burnley on Sunday, 22 January (kick-off 14:15).

Joanna Macaulay, Upland's Events and Exhibitions Manager, said: "Our 15th birthday will be a special year for us and a chance to look at how Spring Fling has blossomed to become the premier event of its kind in Scotland.
"Something we value enormously is the strength of support we get from within the region.
"But the other side of Spring Fling is that it is a highly effective way of drawing the attention of the wider world to the wonderful work created in Dumfries and Galloway."

The report by Save the Children says it is impossible to be completely certain how she caught the virus.
However, it said the different safety protocols used for removing visors and goggles, was the most likely explanation.
Ms Cafferkey made a full recovery after being treated in London.
An independent panel, led by Public Health England, reviewed the case.
Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children, said: "We will never be 100% sure how Pauline contracted Ebola, but the independent panel found that it is most likely, though not conclusive, she acquired her illness while working at the Ebola Treatment Centre at Kerry Town in Sierra Leone.
"Working under such intense and challenging conditions, however, cannot be without risk.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, the panel suggests that Pauline's use of a visor, within a context geared to the use of goggles, was the most likely cause of her contracting Ebola."
Visors are recommended by the World Health Organization, and are used by the UK Ministry of Defence.
Save the Children uses goggles.
The full report said both options were equally safe. However, there are key differences in the way the different types of protective equipment are safely removed.
Ms Cafferkey had been trained to use a visor before being re-deployed to the Save the Children centre, but was not able use their goggles "because she could not get them to fit properly," the report said.
Mr Forsyth said 'action might not have been taken quickly' enough to identify any problems.
But he said lessons have been learned.
Speaking after being discharged from the Royal Free Hospital, in London, Ms Cafferkey, from Cambuslang, in South Lanarkshire, thanked staff who she said had saved her life.
She told the BBC: "I am just happy to be alive. I still don't feel 100%, I feel quite weak, but I'm looking forward to going home."
However, she said she was "definitely frightened" having witnessed the virus first hand in Sierra Leone.

The plans were approved by Energy Secretary Greg Clark last week.
Opponents argued it would impact the countryside and farming. SP Manweb said it would keep all parties "fully informed".
The plans were accepted following the recommendation of the examination authority, which conducted a lengthy public inquiry into the application last year.
Action group Pylon the Pressure claimed the double wooden poles would be a blight on the countryside and affect farming operations.
They also raised concerns about the impact on the Grade II-listed farm complex at Berain, near Llannefydd.
But the examination authority said the visual impact on Berain over the power lines' 30-year lifetime would be minimal.
The energy secretary also agreed that the additional £16m cost to lay the cables underground would be disproportionate.
Pylon the Pressure group chairman Dyfrig Jones said they now plan to launch a legal bid within two weeks if they can raise the funds.
Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies, who has supported the action group's campaign, said he was "disappointed" with the scheme's approval, adding it could impact "the visual amenity of the area".
In response, a spokesman for SP Energy Networks said it was "pleased with the decision... following four years of detailed planning and consultation".
"We will now work closely with our clients to develop a detailed programme of work, and we will continue to keep the local community and stakeholders fully informed," the spokesman added.

He defeated 16 other Republican contenders and according to the Associated Press has 1,238 delegates, one more than needed.

If his nomination is confirmed, Mr Trump will face former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who are vying for the Democrat nomination.
On Wednesday, the New York billionaire suggested going against Mr Sanders in a TV debate in California before the state's primary on 7 June.
Mr Sanders agreed to the debate in a tweet, saying "Game on".
On Thursday, Mr Trump said: "The problem with debating Bernie? He's going to lose."
He also threw a barb in Mrs Clinton's direction, saying: "Here I am watching Hillary fight and she can't close the deal. That should be such an easy deal to close."
Earlier, the current US president Barack Obama said that world leaders "had good reason to be rattled" by Mr Trump, whose proposals he said were "either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude".
In response to that, Mr Trump told reporters in North Dakota that rattling leaders of other countries was a "good thing".
"[President Obama] knows nothing about business," he said.
"Many of the countries in our beautiful world have been absolutely abusing us and taking advantage of us.
"We're going to have great relationships with these countries but if they're rattled in a friendly way that's a good thing, not a bad thing."
It wasn't a matter of if, only when. With no real obstacles between him and the nomination, Donald Trump was going to cross over the magic 1,237 delegate mark at the latest by the California and New Jersey primaries on 7 June.
It must be a bit of delicious irony for the New York real estate mogul, however, that the Associated Press has declared him the winner thanks to the support of a Republican Party establishment that largely recoiled from him for most of the campaign.
Of course the nomination isn't official until the balloons drop at the Republican convention in July, but the desperate attempts of the #NeverTrump movement to throw any obstacles in his path are essentially extinguished.
While his closest presidential rivals - Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio - have yet to free delegates pledged to support them at the convention, Mr Trump can win the prize with or without their help.
The Republican convention in Cleveland will be the Donald Trump show, and everyone not with him will be spectators or - as his recent criticism of Republican Governor Susanna Martinez of New Mexico has shown - targets.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attacked Vincent Uzomah, 50 at Dixons Kings Academy on 11 June.
Mr Uzomah, who was stabbed in the stomach with a knife, is stable in hospital.
The boy denied attempted murder but admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court.
His plea was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service and Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC said the boy would be sentenced at a later date.
The teenager attacked Mr Uzomah in front of a number of other students at the start of a science class.
It is understood it happened following a disagreement over a mobile phone.
Mr Uzomah was stabbed with a kitchen knife the boy had brought from home.
After the attack the teenager ran off and was arrested by police in Bradford city centre following a six-hour search.
Judge Durham Hall said: "This is a very troubling case."

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Springfield Properties had proposed 56 homes, including affordable housing, and a commercial unit at Dalgety Bay.
It claimed the council's planning department had "put barriers in our way from the start" and added: "We think Fife is closed to business."
Fife Council said Springfield's plans had "failed to satisfy policies".
In a strongly worded statement, Springfield said it had been working with Fife planning officials to move the development forward for more than two-and-a-half years, but was "getting nowhere".
It also claimed planning consent was refused without any discussion, even though jobs were at stake.
Springfield chairman Sandy Adam said: "The attitude of Fife Council flies in the face of Scottish government policy. It's about time they explained why it is blocking high quality jobs and affordable homes for Dalgety Bay.
"We are very dissatisfied with the whole process. The planning department have put barriers in our way from the start.
"The process has lacked continuity, with three different planners assigned to the case, and a tree preservation order being applied to the site halfway through the application.
"Initially planners criticised our urban design, so we withdrew our original application and submitted a new one based on planning officials' feedback.
"Despite this they came to a decision to recommend refusal, saying loss of employment land would undermine Dalgety Bay as a sustainable mixed community."
Responding to the criticism, the council's lead officer for development management, Kevin Treadwell, said the authority was "certainly open for business", and was keen to work with Springfield.
He said the company's application was turned down after councillors and officers "took all relevant factors into account, and found that the proposed development failed to satisfy policies".
He added: "The committee decided, ultimately, that this was not the right development for the site.
"Council officers made it clear to the applicant at a very early stage that the proposal was contrary to the development plan, and continued to express concerns during the application's assessment.
"Concerns include loss of employment land, potential impacts on neighbouring businesses and the quality of the housing environment in such close proximity to an industrial estate."

Please summarize the given passage. | The Church was responding to a Welsh Assembly committee decision to ask Education Secretary Kirsty Williams for a review of the practice in schools.
It is a legal requirement for schools to hold collective acts of worship.
But the Petitions Committee wrote to Ms Williams asking her to consider if it was compatible with human rights law.
The committee took the decision on Tuesday after receiving a petition from Cardiff schoolgirls Rhiannon Shipton and Lily McAllister-Sutton, who had collected 1,333 signatures.
The petition called on the assembly to urge the Welsh Government to pass a law that removes the obligation on schools to hold acts of religious worship.
The girls, who say they do not believe in God, said it was time their school - Glantaf - and others in Wales, adopted modern attitudes.
The committee also received another petition, launched in response, to keep the current guidelines for religious assemblies.
This petition, submitted by Iraj Irfan, was signed by 2,231 people.
A Church in Wales spokeswoman said: "The law that requires a daily act of worship in schools is not a mandate to compel pupils to recite the Lord's Prayer, and be so inspired that they turn up at church the following Sunday.
"Rather, it is an invitation to experience what faith and commitment means, in a broadly Christian way, whilst understanding and appreciating other faith perspectives."
She added: "Often young people are put off collective worship in schools because it is not done particularly well.
"Collective worship should be a richly rewarding spiritual experience that is creative, interactive and informative."
Ysgol Glantaf's headmaster Alun Davies has said he respects the fact two of his pupils have expressed their opinion and that the school encourages this.
He said while the emphasis was on Christianity, there are times when the school holds assemblies when pupils come together to discuss other themes and moral issues.
But Wales Humanists have described the practice as "archaic".
Coordinator Kathy Riddick said: "Forcing children to worship a god they may or may not believe in is obviously unacceptable and represents an affront to young people's freedom of religion or belief.
"It shouldn't take two school pupils to convince the Welsh Government of this, but nevertheless we hope Kirsty Williams will now give this the attention it deserves and remove this archaic and discriminatory requirement as soon as possible."
The Welsh Government said: "Collective worship should be sensitive to the range of beliefs and non-beliefs held by pupils in the school and should give pupils the opportunity to worship, without encouraging them to do something that is against the teachings of their own religion or beliefs.
"Parents can request for their child to be withdrawn from collective worship and schools must agree to such requests in all circumstances." | Young people are being put off collective worship in schools because it is often "not done particularly well", the Church in Wales has said. |
Summarize the provided section. | One in every 200 women loses her baby after an amniocentesis, in which the fluid around the developing foetus is tested for genetic disorders.
A trial at Great Ormond Street Hospital of the new test - for fragments of foetal DNA in the mother's blood - suggested it could be cost-effective.
The NHS is to decide if it should be added to screening for Down's syndrome.
About 750 babies are born with Down's syndrome in the UK each year.
All pregnant women are offered testing for genetic disorders.
Initially an ultrasound scan and chemicals in the mother's blood are used to assess the likelihood of the baby having Down's.
Anyone calculated to have up to a one-in-150 chance of a baby with Down's syndrome is offered an amniocentesis - in which a needle is used to extract a sample of amniotic fluid, which surrounds the foetus.
But those women, of whom most would probably not have a baby with Down's, need to decide whether to have the risky test.
Fragments of the developing foetus's DNA naturally end up in the mother's bloodstream.
"Non-invasive prenatal testing" - or NIPT - uses this DNA to test for major genetic abnormalities.
It is already used in nearly 100 countries, but Great Ormond Street Hospital has assessed how it could be used on the NHS.
Prof Lyn Chitty, who led the trial, told the BBC: "It's a much more accurate test, so it's 99% accurate for Down's syndrome so it reduces the number of [invasive] tests significantly.
"In our study it reduced the number of invasive tests by more than 80%."
However, it does not completely eliminate the need for an amniocentesis.
Anyone who has a positive NIPT test result would still need final confirmation with an amniocentesis.
One anonymous mother who took part in the trial said: "We probably wouldn't have done [invasive testing] because there's a risk of miscarriage.
"I think that we were very lucky, it's enabled us to make an informed choice about what happens for the rest of our lives."
Prof Chitty, who will present data from the trial involving 2,500 mothers at the European Society of Human Genetics conference, said the measure could be cost-effective.
While the blood test is costly, it could also help the NHS save money by reducing the number of expensive amniocenteses.
She also rejected the idea that the extra testing would lead to more abortions.
Prof Chitty said the trial showed that many women who would have refused an amniocentesis chose to have the safer test to help them prepare.
The UK's National Screening Committee will begin assessing the idea this month.
Dr Anne Mackie, its director of programmes, said: "Before NIPT can be safely introduced we must be sure it is accurate when used on large numbers of women and that there are quality-assessed pathways in place providing the care, support and information women need."
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would each make their own decision on whether to make any recommendations. | A safer test for Down's syndrome that reduces the risk of miscarriage could soon be available on the NHS. |

However, as it was not a parliamentary proceeding it will not be officially recorded in Hansard.
MP Jacob Rees-Mogg's use of 29-letter floccinaucinihilipilification in 2012 remains the longest recorded.
A House of Commons spokeswoman said although Mr Bryan's use of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis would not appear in Hansard, it would appear on the British Youth Council website.
The Oxford English Dictionary said the word was "invented in imitation of very long medical terms".
Addressing body image therapist and psychotherapist Liz Ritchie during the meeting, Mr Bryan, from Bournemouth, said: "The 2015 Youth Select Committee report cited children and young people's mental services as the Cinderella of Cinderella services.
"Regarding the lack of funding and attention do you agree that there should be parity of esteem between mental conditions such as body dysmorphia and physical conditions such as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis."
Mr Bryan, who starts sixth form in Dorset in September, said he had not tried to break any record by uttering the longest word in the House of Commons, but said he had intended its use might help raise awareness about mental health issues.
"I wanted to show the disparity between mental and physical condition," he said.
"I set out to raise awareness and even if just one person is inspired I have done my job."
According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "an invented long word said to mean a lung disease caused by inhaling very fine ash and sand dust".
It originated in the 1930s and was "probably" invented by Everett M Smith - the then president of the National Puzzlers' League, it said.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Governing body the FIA has responded to teams' concerns that the ban would have cost and reliability implications.
Messages about the operations of an F1 car's complex systems will be allowed for the rest of the season.
But teams will still be forbidden from giving driving advice, such as how to improve cornering technique, via radio. The full ban will now start in 2015.
On Thursday, F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone had said he was behind the ban, saying he felt drivers were being helped too much.
But his claims that all the drivers were supportive of the idea were undermined when some, including Williams's Felipe Massa, expressed vociferous opposition.
And the teams argued to race director Charlie Whiting that the proposed ban could lead to reliability and even safety problems.
The FIA has provided to BBC Sport the list of radio messages that are permitted and banned.
The FIA's note clarifying the ruling with the teams said: "It seems to us that information being passed to the driver concerning the performance of his car should be separated from information concerning his own performance.
"It has become clear that the former is a very complex matter and that any list of restrictions imposed at short notice will have a significantly different effect from team-to-team. The latter information on the other hand can be considered simple driver coaching.
"With this in mind we propose to postpone enforcement of the information being passed to driver concerning the performance of his car until 2015.
"We believe this will give sufficient time for teams to prepare properly and, more importantly, to ensure that the regulations are being enforced fairly and equitably.
"On the other hand, information being passed to the driver concerning his own performance will be stopped with immediate effect."
Whiting said the ban on radio messages had not been intended as a precursor to banning all telemetry, as Ecclestone had suggested on Thursday.
"That hasn't been discussed at all," Whiting said.
He added that he expected any punishment for transgressing to be "sporting rather than financial" and while pointing out that the stewards decided penalties, he gave examples of a drop of a grid position if the offence was in practice or a five-second penalty if in the race.

In October, Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) approved the funding for the work downstream of Northmoor and the M5.
SRA chairman John Osman, said: "It is that little more expensive to do that section but it will be the most beneficial."
The work is expected to take around 12 weeks to complete.
In 2014, some 8km of the rivers Parrett and Tone were dredged at a cost of £6m.
Mr Osman added: "If we have the same amount of water that we had a couple of years ago the dredging we do today will reduce the amount of water on the land by about 80mm.
"It will also reduce the duration of the flooding, so it will take five days off the flooding event if the same amount of water came again."
The SRA is still lobbying the government to allow it to become a precepting authority which would allow it to levy a portion of the council tax to help pay for its work.
For this financial year, the government approved a one-off flood levy for Somerset taxpayers.

Please summarize the given passage. | An Education Policy Institute study says as grammars expand, they will take more lower ability pupils - diluting their high achieving potential.
It also argues the negative impact on nearby schools is greater because more lower ability pupils are left behind.
The Department for Education said they want the plan to help local schools.
The government said the report focused on the binary system of the past but this was not what its plans intended to recreate.
The EPI report models what would happen to grammar schools by expanding them in the way the government is considering.
It talks about a grammar school bonus for those pupils studying in them, describing it as an extra 2.4 grades at GCSE across eight subjects for all pupils in the current stock of grammars.
For the small minority of the poorest pupils in grammars - those on free school meals - it works out as 3.9 grades, which is half a grade per subject compared with pupils at other types of schools.
Research author and associate director at EPI, Jo Hutchinson, said the decline in the benefits of grammar school education would be seen most in areas with more selection.
These are the areas where parents tend to want more grammars, according to polling cited by the study.
Ms Hutchinson acknowledged that high achieving schools would be dumbed down.
She said: "When we add more grammar school places to an area, these schools will have to fill their places with children who are further down the ability scale.
"They will pick the next most able children and the raw potential of these pupils will be lower.
"In the areas where there are more places, the benefits are going to be more diluted for those children in the grammar schools, as they become more like mixed ability schools."
She believes that those not in grammar schools will also suffer because "the bunch of children who are left behind are a bunch of lower attaining children".
She said this situation would be exacerbated further by requiring grammar schools to take a quota of poorer children, as has been suggested by Prime Minister Theresa May as a way of boosting social mobility.
"In a quota system - whether it's free school meals or parents on lower income - they are going to be a group that is lower attaining on average."
This would dilute the high achieving nature of the schools faster, she said.
The report identifies a "tipping point" at which the positive effects of attending a grammar school start to reduce and the negative effects of not attending one increase.
This was when 70% of the top quarter of high achieving pupils at the end of primary school acquired a grammar school place.
Overall, the report debunks government claims that expanding grammar schools will boost social mobility.
Superficially, it says, grammar schools appear to do well in closing the attainment gaps between poor children and others studying in them
But when researchers took into account the high achieving nature of the very small minority of disadvantaged pupils who reach grammar schools, most of this difference disappeared.
The study said if more grammar school places were created in areas where parents wanted them, this would lead to a net loss of 7,000 GCSE grades for the poorest pupils in areas where selective schools are concentrated.
It also found that proposals to increase the number of grammar school places in England were unlikely to improve attainment overall.
The Department for Education is understood to be researching the impact of more grammar school places, as well as running a consultation on the plans announced earlier this month.
It said: "Our new approach would ensure any new selective schools prioritise the admission of pupils from lower income households or support other local pupils in non-selective schools to help raise standards.
"We are clear that relaxing restrictions on selective education can and should be to the betterment, not at the expense, of other local schools."
Malcolm Trobe, acting head of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "It clearly shows that creating more selective schools will not raise overall educational standards in England and is likely to widen the attainment gap between rich and poor children.
"The government must now listen to the evidence and abandon its misguided policy." | Grammar schools could be dumbed down by expanding them in areas where parents want them, analysis of plans to increase selection in England suggests. |

Cross-code convert Burgess, 26, had two years left on a three-year deal.
Burgess was part of the England squad which went out of their home World Cup in the group stages.
He switched codes to join Bath last year but will now head back to Australia to play for NRL side the Rabbitohs, his former club.
A transfer fee has been agreed with South Sydney and Bath are expected to confirm his departure on Friday.
He was given time off by Bath coach Mike Ford after England's disastrous World Cup campaign and has now played his last game of rugby union.
Burgess, who had been playing at blind-side flanker for his club, was picked at centre for the hosts against Wales in the World Cup and his selection sparked much debate.
Bath had been adamant he would be staying at the club, with owner Bruce Craig saying on Wednesday: "As far as we're concerned he's with us and will continue playing for us." Craig also said there had been no bids for the former Bradford Bulls player.
Those sentiments were echoed by head coach Mike Ford, who had said the player would honour his Bath contract, and that he expected him to be part of England's 2016 Six Nations campaign.
Instead Burgess will go back to Australia and join brothers George and Tom, who signed three-year contract extensions at the Rabbitohs last week, and Luke, who plays for Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
BBC Radio 5 live's Alastair Eykyn says his departure is a huge loss for the sport.
"There is no doubt he had the tools to become a fantastic player in rugby union, but now we will never know," he added.
Burgess, from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, played 21 games for Bath after joining them just over a year ago, scoring four tries. They paid Australian side the Rabbitohs about £270,000 (Aus$500,000) for the player.
Having made his England debut in August, he was selected for the World Cup ahead of the likes of Northampton centre Luther Burrell, who looked to have established himself in the team after playing in all five of their Six Nations matches earlier in the year.
Burgess impressed as a replacement in England's opening World Cup win over Fiji and started the defeat by Wales in the second pool game before being replaced with 11 minutes left.
He came off the bench for the last 15 minutes of the subsequent loss to Australia and was then dropped from the squad for the final game against Uruguay.

Write a summary for this information. | The show examines the work of William Billingsley, founder of the Nantgarw China Works and a known perfectionist.
The bicentenary exhibition features rare examples of the works' output, alongside items created by some of Wales' foremost contemporary potters.
Billingsley fled Wales in 1820, pursued by creditors.
But his work is still regarded as some of the finest ceramics ever produced - a single piece can fetch tens of thousands of pounds at auction.
One of the reasons is the rarity of Nantgarw chinaware - the artist was regarded as a complete perfectionist, rejecting 90% of everything he ever made.
His pieces were deemed so exquisite that fearful Staffordshire potteries ganged up in an attempt to put Nantgarw out of business.
Founded in 1813 on the banks of the Glamorgan Canal, it was also claimed that the clay formula Billingsley used was stolen from Royal Worcester.
But in just seven years, despite being regarded as the finest ceramicist in Britain, Billingsley had racked up crippling debts and quit the Nantgarw works.
"Nantgarw China Works is such a thrilling story that it really should be made into a film," enthused Lowri Davies, who has organised the exhibition.
Her own Billingsley-inspired collection featured at the Sculpture Objects and Functional Art exhibition in Chicago, USA.
"It's the tale of a man so driven to perfect his art that nothing else mattered," she added.
"He was a hopeless businessman who was always in some scrape or other, constantly being sued and pursued by creditors, but as long as his pieces were the best the world had ever seen then he didn't care about little things like intellectual property or even making money.
"And his work was brilliant - exquisite wet paste china and instantly recognisable, breathtaking floral artwork."
After Billingsley left Wales in 1820, his business partner William Western-Young managed to stave off formal bankruptcy by selling Billingsley's remaining work, which had acquired an increased value following news of the demise of Nantgarw China Works.
Western-Young kept the factory open, but without Billingsley's expertise they were reduced to manufacturing clay smoking pipes and rough earthenware pots and jugs.
This proved to be infinitely more profitable, and the works went on to survive until 1920, when the switch away from pipes to cigarettes was the death knell for the business.
But despite a hundred years of pipe manufacturing, according to Lowri Davies it will always be their fine china for which Nantgarw China Works will be best remembered.
"In some ways it's a tragedy that Nantgarw China lasted such a short time, but then again, if it had gone on for decades or even centuries, then would we be talking about it today?"
The china works near Caerphilly lay derelict for decades until it was acquired by the former Taff-Ely council in the 1980s and was turned into a museum.
Earlier this year Rhondda Cynon Taf council handed over the museum to the Friends of Nantgarw China Works Trust, who are now undertaking an extensive restoration of the original studios and kilns.
Amongst others, the exhibition at the works museum features craftwork from Caitlin Jenkins, of Ewenny Pottery, and Geoff Swindell of Dinas Powys, whose creations are included in the collections of some 40 museums including the Victoria & Albert in London.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The memo suggested Ms Sturgeon had told the French ambassador she would prefer David Cameron's Conservatives to win the 2015 general election.
Ms Sturgeon denied the claim, and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards was asked to investigate.
The commissioner has now said it falls outside her remit.
This was because Mr Carmichael had been made aware of the memo through official Scottish Office channels, and not due to his role as an MP.
The commissioner, Kathryn Hudson, said: "I have established that the conduct which led to my inquiry falls outside my remit. I do not, therefore, make any criticism, or indeed any other comment, on Mr Carmichael's conduct in this affair."
Responding to the commissioner's report, Mr Carmichael said: "I am pleased that this is now resolved and will continue to focus on getting on with my job as MP for Orkney and Shetland."
Ms Hudson said she did not have sufficient information from the Cabinet Office to be able to answer questions about Mr Carmichael's role in the matter at the beginning of her inquiry.
She added: "On the same day that I initiated my inquiry, I wrote to the Cabinet Secretary to ask if he might release to me a full copy of the report of the leak inquiry carried out by Cabinet Office officials.
"On June 16 2015, the Cabinet Secretary told me that he did not think it would be appropriate to release a copy of the investigative report."
The commissioner also used her report into the matter to suggest that a review of the code of conduct for MPs should look at whether members seeking re-election should continue not to be covered by its rules during the period of a general election campaign.
Both Ms Sturgeon and the French ambassador insisted she had not made the comments contained in the Scotland Office memo, which was obtained by the Daily Telegraph newspaper ahead of last year's general election.
The memo had contained a disclaimer that parts of the conversation between the Scottish first minister and the ambassador may have been "lost in translation".
Mr Carmichael claimed in a Channel 4 TV interview at the time that the first he had heard of the leak was when he received a phone call from a journalist.
He had in fact authorised his special advisor to leak the memo, an action he admitted days after being elected as the MP for Orkney and Shetland.
Four of his constituents launched a legal action aimed at having his election overturned, claiming he misled voters over the memo.
But judges ruled in December that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt Mr Carmichael had committed an "illegal practice".
However, judge Lady Paton said in the ruling that Mr Carmichael had told a "blatant lie" in the Channel 4 interview. | An investigation into the involvement of former Scottish secretary Alistair Carmichael in a leak aimed at damaging Nicola Sturgeon has been dropped. |
Give a brief summary of the content. | The picture is very similar to the one it acquired in mid-September - only this one is much closer, snapped from a distance of just 16km.
Also new in this picture is 67P's activity. Jets of gas and dust can be seen streaming away from the "neck" region of the rubber duck-shaped comet.
Philae is due to make its historic landing attempt on 12 November.
It is currently riding piggyback on its "mothership", the Rosetta probe.
You can just see the corner of this spacecraft on the left of the image, with one of its 14m-long solar wings dominating the foreground.
The plan is for Rosetta to eject Philae towards 67P just after 0830 GMT on the 12th.
The small gravitational tug from the 4km-wide comet should be enough to pull the robot on to its surface in a descent that is likely to take about seven hours to complete.
If the lander survives this fall, it will be a first. Never before in the history of space exploration has a soft touchdown been made on one of these "ice mountains".
The new "selfie" released by the European Space Agency is actually a composite of two images taken in quick succession but with different exposure times.
This allowed the very different contrast conditions to be balanced across the entire vista.
Philae acquired the frames on 7 October. It will be the last view from the robot's CIVA camera system until just after separation from Rosetta.
The plan is for Philae to grab a "goodbye" shot of Rosetta as the pair start to recede from each other.
Assuming the landing succeeds, CIVA will then take a full 360-degree panorama of its touchdown location.
This is a relatively flat terrain on the "head" of the duck, currently dubbed "Site J" after its position in a list of possible destinations in the site selection process.
Mission planners were due to meet on Tuesday to give a final confirmation to the J target. This ought to have been a formality.
The big caveat is if Rosetta has seen a "showstopper" in its recent close-in mapping campaign. This would have to be an extremely dangerous surface feature that had gone unrecognised in previous, lower-resolution imaging.
If a no-go situation has been indentified, planners would then move their attention to a back-up landing target on the "body" of the duck called "Site C".
Rosetta, Philae and Comet 67P are currently moving through space some 480 million km from Earth.

The win sees Fitzpatrick regain third place in the Ryder Cup qualifying race.
With the top four in that list qualifying for the competition, which starts on 30 September in Hazeltine, Minnesota, Fitzpatrick overtakes fellow Englishman Chris Wood, who won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last Sunday.
Fitzpatrick admitted the win put him "a million miles ahead of schedule", but he said of his Ryder Cup chances: "It's something I'm trying to play down a little bit.
"There's still a long way to go before then, there are still three majors and anyone can win them. Hopefully I'll keep playing well and see where we end up come September."
Fitzpatrick also won last year's British Masters and finished tied seventh in this year's US Masters, won by fellow Sheffield golfer Danny Willett.

Summarize this article briefly. | Michael Barr, 34, was killed in the Sunset House pub on 25 April. Hundreds attended his funeral Mass at St Mary's Church on Thursday morning.
About a dozen people dressed in paramilitary-style uniform led the cortege to the church.
Mr Barr was known to gardaí (Irish police) for involvement with dissident republicanism.
Mr Barr was killed in the same north inner city pub where he worked as a barman.
Two men, described as skinny and wearing masks, entered the pub and fired a number of shots.
They escaped with another man in a Silver Audi that was later found burnt out in Drumcondra.
Detectives investigating the murder had raided Mr Barr's home several days before the fatal shooting.
Gardaí said at the time that they were keeping an open mind about who was responsible for Mr Barr's murder but were not ruling out the possibility that the killing was linked to a feud between two criminal gangs.
Several hundred mourners joined the cortege as it left his father's home in the village of Clady for requiem Mass in Melmount.
Black flags were placed on lampposts along part of the route. The coffin was draped in a tricolour with a black beret and gloves on top.
There was a noticeable PSNI presence in the area with a police helicopter circling overhead. Gardaí also mounted checkpoints over the border in County Donegal.
West Midlands Trains Ltd will take over routes currently operated by London Midland from December.
The company is a joint venture between Dutch firm Abellio and Japanese partners.
The deal will see almost £1bn of investment and new, longer trains, the DfT said.
West Midlands trains: Your takeover questions answered
The franchise covers routes in the West Midlands, as well as from London Euston to Crewe, and Liverpool to Birmingham.
It also runs services between Northampton and London Euston - connecting lines between Bedford and Bletchley, between St Albans and Watford and Crewe to London - via Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Lichfield and Milton Keynes.
It had been run by Govia, which owns London Midland, since 2007. The Govia bid to continue running the services was unsuccessful.
London Midland's contract was extended by the government in 2013, despite criticism for record delays to its services.
The company was forced to offer a £7m package of compensation to season ticket holders affected by the disruption.
More on this and other Birmingham and Black Country news
Abellio UK managing director Dominic Booth said: "We are delighted to have been announced as preferred bidder for the West Midlands franchise, driving growth in one of the most exciting regions in the country.
"We will be investing nearly £1 billion into the network, delivering new trains, better stations and a whole host of other benefits for passengers."
Passengers can see how their lines will change on the Department for Transport website.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said it was "great news" for passengers.
"This shows we are delivering on our commitment to build a railway that works for everyone," he said.
Trains running only in the West Midlands area will be jointly managed by the DfT and West Midlands Rail (WMR), a consortium of 16 local councils.
Direct services will continue from Birmingham New Street to London Euston under the new franchise, the Dft confirmed. A direct service from Stoke-on-Trent to Euston will cease.
The overall pricing of tickets will be determined by the operator, but it will retain the right to sell cheap tickets, the Dft said.
The deal with West Midlands Trains will run until March 2026.
Passengers reacted to the news on social media:
The current workforce of 2,400 will pass to the new operator when the franchise is taken over, a spokesperson for Abellio confirmed.
The company has also pledged to invest £13m on staff training and development and will create more than 900 new apprenticeships over the course of the franchise.
West Midlands Trains Ltd said the new franchise would bring "much welcomed investment in new services and extra capacity across the network".
Managing director Patrick Verwer, said: "We have created a strong foundation for the new operators to build on.
"During the months ahead we will continue to work with West Midlands Trains Ltd, the DfT and all our stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition into the new franchise."

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Dr Davide Dominoni believes that city lights convince the birds there is no end to the day.
Robins are adapted to hunting insects in dim light, so are thought to be particularly sensitive to the effects of artificial lighting.
The researcher said blue light from neon signs was likely to be especially disruptive to the birds' body clock.
Dr Dominoni was speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting, in San Jose, California.
He said: "I live in Glasgow now and I hear robins singing throughout the night, singing all the time. Robins are one of the most sensitive species to light."
In order to investigate the phenomenon, Dr Dominoni is putting cameras in nesting boxes to find out when robins sleep.
But the reasons for the robins' nocturnal singing have been a subject of some debate. Other researchers have proposed that the birds predominantly sing at night in urban areas because it is too noisy during the day.
Either way, Dr Dominoni says that singing through the night could be affecting the birds in adverse ways.
"This brings us to some of the physiological costs that that these environmental pressures might have.
"Singing is a costly behaviour, it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some energetic costs."
He continued: "I think we should reduce the intensity of the light we put out, reduce the amount of light and try to think about the spectrum of the light we are putting out.
"In some cases, we can try to modify the street lamps, by putting shields on top to reduce light pollution." | A new project at Glasgow University aims to help resolve why robins are up all night singing in cities. |

"We all headed down to the street, and you could smell the cordite. You knew that a bomb had gone off," he said.
"I managed to get a first aid kit from the office. As we got closer there were lots of bodies, one person had been cut in half.
"I went into the shrine. I saw at least nine people, unfortunately, who looked like they had died.
"I tried to administer CPR to one particular guy who was in his 40s. His family were with him. He didn't make it.
"There were lots of people with horrific injuries. Scenes of distress and total shock."
"We were on the Skywalk which runs right near the shrine. We were directly above the area when the explosion went off," she said.
"The impact was so strong it sucked us forward and then pushed us back. We saw flames go up in the air, followed by shrapnel.
"As we left the area the scene was very graphic. We saw people lying on the road, some crawling away, some without limbs.
"Our heads are sore from the impact. A nurse from our hotel checked us out but we will try to go to hospital later."
"There was total chaos. They blocked off the area, everyone was running in totally different directions," he told the BBC.
"About five minutes later police and ambulances rushed to the scene. I counted around 20 ambulances.
"That area is usually very, very crowded as it's in the middle of the city and it's usually very packed.

Summarize the provided information. | The expansion of agriculture is deemed to be one of the main drivers for global habitat and biodiversity loss.
Researchers from the UK and Brazil say that boosting yields could help - but only if policies such as incentives or land-zoning are implemented as well.
Their findings have been published in the journal Science.
"The least bad way we can reconcile the rising demand for food production over the next 50 years with the need to protect the environment... is through this notion of land-sparing, which is pursuing sustainable but high-yield farming on farmland," said co-author Andrew Balmford, professor of conservation science at the University of Cambridge.
"By doing that, we can meet our needs but on a relatively smaller footprint of land and spare intact or restored natural habitat for other creatures or for the benefits we get from nature that we rely upon."
He told BBC News that it was probably the "least bad" option in terms of of a policy approach for food security and environmental protection - if it was possible to deliver.
"The problem is that if we leave it to market forces alone, increasing yields will not provide enough incentive for farmers to restrict their footprint," Prof Balmford explained.
"Prices might come down, which would increase demand. On the other hand, profits might go up and this might increase the incentive to expand farming rather than restrict it."
In their policy briefing, the team of scientists from the UK and Brazil identified four categories of land-sparing mechanisms that were currently being used in some parts of the world.
The four categories were:
Prof Balmford said that extra policy mechanisms were needed to couple high-yield farming to safeguarding or restoring natural habitats.
"This paper is a first attempt really to try to consider what those mechanisms might look like," he explained.
"We have looked around at what, in principle, might be possible, and trying to find a few examples of what is happening already in different parts of the world.
"This is not a complete set of all the opportunities that might be pursued - some of these ideas might work in some places but not in others, and there will be other ideas that we have not thought about at all."
He added: "This paper is a stimulus to talk about how high-yield farming might be most effectively coupled, through policy, to land sparing." | Increasing crop yields could help meet the rising global demand for more food while sparing land to protect biodiversity, a study has suggested. |

Following the end of the season, he shared a short video of himself with a suitcase, saying he was "en route" for his prayers. He is attending Umrah, a non-mandatory Muslim pilgrimage.
Pogba is reported to have visited Mecca at least once before, when he performed the Hajj, a journey every healthy adult Muslim who can afford it is supposed to make at least once in their lives.

Three quarters of the salt we eat is in foods we buy, and there has been a push for industry to cut salt levels.
High salt can raise blood pressure, which increases the risk of strokes.
Voluntary salt reduction targets were first set in 2006 for a range of food categories in the UK that contribute most to the population's salt intakes - for example crisps, butter and margarines, breakfast cereals and bread.
In 2014, fresh targets were set to include popular dishes consumed outside the home, such as sandwiches, ready meals and children's meals in fast food outlets.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at PHE, said: "While people are having less salt than 10 years ago, we are still eating a third more than we should.
"The majority of the salt we eat is in everyday foods so it's important to check labels and choose lower salt options. Many manufacturers and retailers have significantly reduced the salt levels in everyday foods. However, more needs to be done, especially by restaurants, cafes and takeaways."

Please summarize the document below. | Ricky Tomlinson, who played her son-in-law Jim Royle, said the "excellent" Smith played his "favourite character".
Director Mike Leigh described her as "eccentric" and "the most generous person you would hope to meet".
Her death on Christmas Eve comes months after Caroline Aherne, co-star and co-writer of The Royle Family, died at 52.
Tomlinson said the Royles were as "close as a family" during the sitcom's four-year run and that Smith would often visit the set on her days off.
"I'd take the mickey out of her because she'd always come in at lunchtime," he said.
"But no I loved her, I really, really loved her," he added.
Liz Smith: A long road to stardom
Smith had attributed the show's popularity to the scripts co-written by Aherne, who also starred as granddaughter Denise Royle. She died from lung cancer in July.
Ralf Little, who played Antony Royle in the sitcom, said it was "devastating" to lose two members of his "second family" in the same year.
He tweeted: "RIP Liz Smith. Goodbye Nana. Xxx"
Sue Johnston - Nana's daughter Barbara Royle in the show - said Smith "loved everything about being an actor".
"She was Mrs Sophisticated", Johnston told BBC News. "But when she put that wig on and sat on the sofa she became Nana."
She recalls visiting Smith at her care home in Worthing, West Sussex a few years ago.
"I took her out in the wheelchair and we went down the seafront and because it was Barbara and Nana people were so delighted to see her.
"She just screamed with delight that everybody was recognising her," she said.
Johnston added: "There's a huge sadness we will never get on that sofa again."
Craig Cash, who co-wrote the show and played the hapless Dave Best, husband to Jim and Barbara's daughter Denise, said Smith was a "real master of her craft".
He said: "She could turn an ordinary line into an extraordinary one."
Giving Smith a script was like "handing the baton to Usain Bolt", he said.
"You knew she wouldn't just run with it - she'd practically fly."
Director Mike Leigh gave Smith her breakthrough role in his film Bleak Moments in 1970, while she was working in Hamleys demonstrating toys.
"She was not your bog standard middle-aged actress," he said, recalling how she once took her teeth out during filming.
"She was eccentric, she was a bohemian, a kind of hippy in a way," he said.
Tomlinson, who played son-in-law Jim Royle, said he was "really, really fascinated" by her.
"She bought her first house, she told me, without going inside the front door.
"She got the money together, knocked on the door, the fella opened the door and she gave him the money," he said.
But the laughing and joking on set was absent when the Royles filmed the 2006 episode in which Nana died.
"No-one spoke until it was our turn to go look at her in the bed. It was eerie, it was quite strange," Tomlinson said.
Tributes have also come in from Smith's co-stars and collaborators from her many other shows.
She featured in 2point4 Children, Lark Rise to Candleford, Last of the Summer Wine, Emmerdale, and was the voice of Mrs Mulch in Wallace and Gromit's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Coronation Street's Andrew Whyment, who also appeared in The Royle Family, tweeted: "What a fantastic actress she was absolutely hilarious RIP lovely Liz x"
Richard E Grant, who acted alongside her in the 1997 film Keep the Aspidistra Flying, tweeted: "Liz Smith-I loved working with you on the George Orwell film and privileged to have played and danced together R.I.P. X"
Choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne tweeted: "RIP #LizSmith Lovable actress who was totally unique and endearing. A true British legend."
Shane Allen, controller of BBC comedy commissioning, said as Nana, Smith "brilliantly captured the grandparent in everyone's family".
"It feels like we've lost a cherished figure from our lives," he added.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The Warriors head coach believes Munster are the continent's best side and Saturday's pool match is the "biggest of the weekend".
"If you want to be one of Europe's best clubs you have to do well in this competition," said Townsend.
Warriors are aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.
Townsend's side can do so with wins over the Pool 1 leaders at Scotstoun and then Leicester on 21 January.
"It's a very important game and we do have two games left," the head coach added.
"Obviously, if we have aspirations of winning the Pool then we've got to win both our games. Certainly, this game is the most important one for us.
"Munster are ahead in the Pool just now; it's a home game and a chance for us to win four games ahead of a huge game next week at Leicester.
"Normally your target is four or five games - four games minimum to get out of the Pool - so, if we are able to produce that win, we'll see how the other results have gone in the other Pools and we'll know how we are ahead of next week's game (against Leicester)."
This European campaign is Townsend's last before he takes over from Vern Cotter as Scotland head coach, but he insists he is feeling no extra pressure.
"It's similar to any week," he said.
"I think there's excitement and a real anticipation throughout our squad, throughout our supporters and this is a big game. It's great that we're hosting it.

The parade was the first time the full battalion has been able to celebrate St Patrick's Day in five years.
It was also the first time a male Royal Family member has presented the Irish Guards with the traditional shamrocks.
The Duchess of Cambridge broke with the 115-year tradition by staying at home with her children.
It was the first time she had missed the annual event since taking over the role from the Princess Royal in 2012.
The Duke, who is Colonel of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, greeted 450 serving soldiers at the ceremony along with 150 association members and Army cadets from Northern Ireland.
He also present a sprig of shamrock to the regiment's mascot, a four-year-old Irish wolfhound named Domhnall, which is Gaelic for "world leader".
Formed in April 1900 by Queen Victoria to recognise the services of Irish soldiers during the Second Boer War in South Africa, the 1st Battalion Irish Guards served major roles in both world wars and has been awarded six Victoria Crosses over the last century.
Receiving shamrock on St Patrick's Day is a battalion tradition dating back to 1901, when Princess Alexandra became the first member of the Royal Family to attend the ceremony. | Glasgow Warriors will have to beat the best team in Europe to retain hope of progressing in the Champions Cup, according to Gregor Townsend.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Hendrie joined the Hammers from Hamilton for an undisclosed fee in July 2015, having made 117 appearances for the Scottish club.
The 21-year-old, who has won three caps for Scotland's under-21 squad, has yet to feature for West Ham's senior team.
Hendrie could make his debut for the Shrimpers when they visit Peterborough United on Saturday.
"I spoke to his former manager, Alex Neil, to ask about the type character we're bringing in," manager Phil Brown told the club website.
"He says he's a solid character, reliable, got bags of energy and probably his biggest asset will be his legs, as he can run all day.
"He brings a lovely left foot to the party, as Ben Coker does, so he's got a great opportunity to get his career going in England at Southend United."

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | As with the now-infamous Sarin attacks in August 2013, there are numerous accounts, including gruesome video, that allege that prohibited nerve agents have been used.
Previous incidents involving Sarin have demonstrated that diagnosing nerve agent exposure by examining video clips is problematic.
Many signs of exposure are not easily recorded, and given the extreme lethality of all of the nerve agents, most victims who make alive to the care of a medic do not necessarily display the most grave signs and symptoms.
Exposure to liquid nerve agents (all of them are liquids, not gases, at normal temperatures) causes effects that appear in somewhat different chronology to those of victims that inhale vapours.
However, all of the nerve agents behave the same in terms of their physiological effects on the human body.
The weapon used may not have been Sarin. It could plausibly have been one of the other nerve agents.
Documents released by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) show that the Assad government had the ability and supply chain to produce VX, a nerve agent that is a non-volatile liquid that can cause contamination that can last for weeks or months.
Another possibility is Tabun, which was manufactured in great quantities in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war.
Tabun has the advantage of being easier to manufacture, and it is marginally less lethal than Sarin or VX. However, it is orders of magnitude more lethal than chlorine, which has been prolifically used.
Other nerve agents are possible but unlikely, as they get into exotic chemistry and strange methods of production.
Only a serious effort to collect, preserve and analyse forensic evidence will definitively identify the material used. Finding the remains of the actual weapon(s) used will be critical to this effort.
The use of nerve agents, if proven, raises serious implications. It will represent a grave escalation beyond the chlorine which has been routinely used.
Perhaps the lack of punishment for using chlorine, combined with chlorine's relatively low lethality, has driven this escalation.
Use of nerve agents by the Assad government also would demonstrate that either the Syrian state was not honest in its declarations when it joined the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and OPCW, or that it has re-established both a supply chain and a manufacturing capability that it had formally renounced.
The issue of where the precursor chemicals come from amidst sanctions is of concern.
Chemical arms control appears a lost cause in the Syrian civil war, but also the international failure to enforce treaties damages arms control in the future.
Chemical weapons, Sarin and others disproportionately punish civilians, particularly the young and old, and disrespecting chemical warfare bans sets a horrible precedent.

V&A Dundee invited graduate designers who are Scottish or trained in Scotland to submit ideas for an Oor Wullie statue to represent the museum.
Winner Ellen Brown's design was inspired by the work of textile designer William Morris.
Ms Brown is a graphic designer and video game artist.
The Abertay University graduate said she was honoured to represent the museum in the Oor Wullie Bucket Trail, which will see 50 sculptures displayed throughout the city during the summer.
She said: "As I'm primarily a digital artist, painting the sculpture has been a really interesting challenge and I have found it so rewarding seeing my William Morris-inspired Strawberry Thief design come together.
"It's wonderful to bring the design back to Dundee and combine it with such an iconic part of Dundee's artistic history."
The sculpture will be displayed in the Overgate shopping centre until 15 June.
It will then be displayed with the other designs for 10 weeks before going to auction to help raise funds for the ARCHIE Foundation's appeal to create a twin theatre suite for Tayside Children's Hospital in Dundee.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Six people survived the crash in Medellin, which was taking the team to compete in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final on Wednesday.
They include defenders Alan Ruschel and Helio Zemper, and reserve goalkeeper Jakson Follman. The club's coaching staff and journalists were among the 77 passengers.
Chapecoense were in the Brazilian fourth tier in 2009, but had recently made themselves a "national force" before their run in South American football's secondary continental competition - the equivalent of the Europa League.
BBC Brasil's Fernando Duarte said: "Their story is a fantastic fairytale, but now it has reached a tragic end."
The football world has paid tribute, with players such as Brazil and Chelsea defender David Luiz counting former team-mates among those who lost their lives.
Teams in Brazil have said they will give players to Chapecoense so that they can continue as a club.
The club from southern Brazil were founded in 1973 and only won promotion to the country's top division in 2014, but victory over two legs in their first continental final would have seen them qualify for the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier competition.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has announced a seven-day mourning period, during which all matches have been postponed, while the Brazilian government has declared three days of mourning nationwide.
Chapecoense's "Leicester City-like run" in the Sudamericana was described as "a massive achievement for a very small club" by Duarte.
The president of Chapecoense's guiding committee, David de Nes Filho, summed up the sentiment at the club in an interview on Brazilian radio station Radio Globo.
"It was not just a group founded on mutual respect; it was a family," he said.
"We lived in harmony, with great happiness. Before boarding the flight, they said they were going to turn their dreams into reality. The dream ended this morning."
Clubs - including Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid - paid tribute to the victims during training, and a minute's silence was held at both EFL Cup quarter-final matches in England on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Al Jazira and Al Shabab held minute silences for Chapecoense boss Caio Junior, who managed both Arabian Gulf League clubs.

This is a club that as recently as 2009 were still in Brazil's fourth division. It is only in the last three years that they have established themselves as a national force.
This was to have been the biggest game in the club's history. Now we wait anxiously to find out how many players have survived this terrible accident.
The Copa Sudamericana is the second biggest cup competition in South American football, to have reached the final, after coming from Brazil's fourth division, in just six or seven years is a truly remarkable achievement which seems to have been interrupted by this terrible tragedy.

Real said: "Real Madrid expresses its sorrow at the tragic air crash involving the Brazilian club Chapecoense and extends its condolences to relatives and friends of the victims. At the same time, we are wishing an early recovery for the survivors."
Chelsea and Brazil defender David Luiz was a former team-mate of Chapecoense player Arthur Maia. He said on Instagram: "To wake up and know that you are no longer among us, with this news that breaks hearts around the world I can not believe it!"

Summarize the provided section. | The Manual for the Non-sexist Use of Language is being distributed to government offices across Mexico.
It seeks to reduce comments that enforce gender stereotypes, as well as the default use of the masculine form in the Spanish language.
The manual was written by a body that tackles violence against women.
In its introduction, the manual describes itself as "a tool to familiarize federal public workers with the use of non-sexist strategies in the Spanish language".
It discourages the use of phrases such as: "If you want to work, why did you have children," and: "You are prettier when you keep quiet".
It also advises against referring to women as possessions, as in phrases such as "Pedro's woman".
The manual says workers should avoiding using the masculine form in the Spanish language when it is not appropriate.
"It is very common for us to use the masculine without knowing the gender of the people we are referring to or - even more incoherently - to use masculine adjectives or professional titles even when we know we are talking about a woman," it explains.
The document was drawn up by the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women, Conavim.

The statement was read out at a meeting in the Basque Spanish town of Durango. It was the first time the ex-prisoners had appeared in public together.
The government has condemned the event, describing it as a "witches' sabbath".
The statement issued by the former prisoners on Saturday said they "accepted full responsibility for the consequences of the conflict".
They said they recognised the "multilateral damage" from their past actions, as well as the "mixed feeling" caused by their words.
"That is why we will act responsibly with positive and constructive will and vision," the statement said.
The statement also demanded an amnesty for remaining Eta detainees.
The BBC's Tom Burridge in Madrid said it will be interpreted by some as a guarded apology.
The militants were convicted for shootings and bombings from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Last year, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that they should be freed. The government, while condemning the ruling, began releasing the prisoners in October.
The government opposes negotiations with Eta, which in 2011 declared an end to its armed campaign to create a Basque state in northern Spain and south-western France.
On Friday the Spanish interior minister said he was only interested in the "unconditional dissolution" of Eta.

Summarize the provided section. | Samuel Shannon, 53, of Glenlough Road, Ballymoney, was filmed on CCTV approaching the victim as she walked home from a night out with friends.
Shannon, who has 19 previous convictions for indecent acts, admitted breaching a Sexual Offenders Prevention Order and a charge of sexual assault.
He was jailed for 16 months on Friday.
Belfast Crown Court heard that a police CCTV operator observed an "intoxicated" woman walking along Donegall Square South on 5 December 2015.
The court was told she had been at a 40th birthday and had consumed eight glasses of wine before becoming separated from friends and ending up on her own.
A prosecution lawyer said the PSNI operator at Musgrave Station was "obviously concerned for her'' because of her intoxication and decided to follow her on camera.
The court watched the CCTV footage, which showed Samuel Shannon walk past the woman before he turned around and followed her.
The short clip showed Shannon picking up her trailing scarf, putting his arm around her shoulder and walking off with her.
The footage showed Shannon "place his hand on her buttocks and touch her, moving his hand back and forth''.
The judge was told the CCTV operator alerted police, who immediately went to the scene. Shannon was identified as a registered sex offender.
The victim told police that Shannon made a lewd remark to her.
"It is clear that this was deeply embarrassing for the lady, particularly because of her intoxication, which left her vulnerable to this attack," he said.
Shannon has 77 previous convictions, of which 19 were for acts of indecency and the probation service assessed him as a "high likelihood of reoffending''.
A defence barrister told the court that Shannon now accepted his guilt, despite a contrary submission to a probation officer.
The judge said Shannon could have "caused more harm if he had not been stopped by the quick police reaction''.
He jailed Shannon for two years and eight months, with 16 months in custody and a further 16 months on supervised licence following his release.
He also extended a Sexual Offences Prevention Order on Shannon for a further five years. | A County Antrim man described in court as a "serial sexual predator'' has been jailed for sexual assaulting a woman in Belfast city centre. |

Please summarize the passage below. | United dominated early on, Thibaut Courtois producing a fine one-handed save to keep out Anthony Martial.
David de Gea saved well from Nemanja Matic's header before Jesse Lingard's fine turn and shot put United ahead.
Costa rescued a point in the 91st minute after rounding De Gea following Cesc Fabregas' pass.
United were moments away from moving to within four points of the top four when Costa scored his seventh goal in eight games.
Chelsea, who lost defender Kurt Zouma to a serious injury, remain 13th in the table.
Relive all the drama from Stamford Bridge
This will feel like a defeat for United after a bright start and a wonderful goal to give them the lead in what was an entertaining draw between two teams struggling for form.
Apart from the late equaliser, Louis van Gaal's side produced a display full of positives after recent criticism about the team's style and reports linking former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho with the United job.
They started well and offered more zip and energy than their cumbersome hosts.
Courtois' flying save to keep out Martial's curling attempt was excellent, while United forced 10 corners before the end of the first half.

The visitors looked set for a rare win over Chelsea when Lingard displayed terrific balance and agility to break the deadlock with a sublime spin and shot inside the area.
However, United backed off after scoring and invited pressure, Costa pouncing from close range after a terrific Fabregas pass.
Instead of closing the gap on fourth place to four points, they now find themselves six points adrift.
De Gea was at his magnificent best to keep out a thunderous attempt by Branislav Ivanovic and then Fabregas as Chelsea surged forward in the final quarter in search of an equaliser.

Yet for the second league home game in a row, they rescued a point in stoppage time.
Hiddink's sixth draw in eight league games in charge leaves the defending champions seven points above the relegation zone with 13 games remaining.
This was Chelsea's first game back at Stamford Bridge since captain John Terry announced he was set to leave at the end of the season.

There was no mention of Terry leaving in the captain's programme notes and Blues fans will still be hoping he may yet extend his stay.
They chanted his name throughout as Terry produced an assured performance at the heart of the defence, while he was denied a penalty when his goal-bound shot at the end of the first half struck the arm of Daley Blind.
Terry's importance to the team was underlined by Zouma's nasty-looking injury, the France international landing awkwardly on his right knee after volleying the ball away.
Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink:
"I am happy with the reaction of the team. Manchester United did a good job in the first half and in the beginning of the second, they are not an easy team to beat.
"But we deserved a point. We dropped too far back after the first 20 minutes when they dominated us but later on we closed a little more.
"They made a beautiful goal - without good marking from our side - but after I think the team reacted very well."
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal:
"I feel we didn't reward ourselves with a victory because we were the better team. Until the last quarter we played very well and could have scored more goals. But you have to control the game better and we did not do that.
"It isn't a lack of concentration it is not being composed when you are defending. When we have the ball we have to keep the ball.
"You need to give the right pass at the right moment and we did not do that [before Chelsea scored]. Chelsea are a very good team and you play like we played and don't reward yourself, it is frustrating."
Both teams are in Premier League action on Saturday at different times of the day. While Chelsea entertain struggling Newcastle United (17:30 GMT), Manchester United travel to Wearside to face relegation-threatened Sunderland (12:45 GMT).

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The boat had collided with a 300m long Greece-flagged merchant ship, near a group of Japan-controlled islands.
The Japan Coast Guard rescued six Chinese crewmembers and are searching for eight others.
Beijing has "expressed appreciation" towards Tokyo for the rescue.
It comes after Japan's foreign minister warned earlier this week that ties with China were "significantly deteriorating".
The group of uninhabited, Japan-controlled islands, referred to as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese, are the source of a long-running dispute between the two countries.
How did uninhabited islands sour China-Japan ties?
The fishing boat sank just after 05:00 local time, according to the Japan Times, after it collided with the bulk carrier Anangel Courage, about 65km off Uotsuri Island.
A distress signal was issued by the cargo ship, with a coast guard dispatching a vessel and plane to the area, according to the Japanese coast guard.
China expressed its "appreciation" after it was informed of the incident, the Japanese foreign ministry said in a statement.
Earlier this month, about 230 Chinese fishing boats and coast guard vessels entered waters near the islands.
Japan's Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida demanded they leave saying "the situation surrounding the Japan-China relationship is significantly deteriorating".
The Fori first entered service in 1904 as a steam-powered boat. It was fitted with diesel engines in 1955.
When it returns to the Aura River in Turku on Saturday, it will be fitted with two electric motors and an electric drivetrain system.
Despite the upgrade, the ferry will still make the crossing at an average speed of 2kmh (1.24mph).
The work was carried out by local boatyard Mobimar, using an electric drivetrain system designed by Finnish company Visedo.
Each of the two engines consists of a DC/DC converter to increase the voltage from the batteries, and a permanent magnet motor drive to transform the electrical signal into mechanical energy.
The new system is eight tonnes lighter than the diesel engines and hydraulic motor it has replaced.
Visedo said it should use about 3kW of energy per hour during the summer months, rising to 4kW in the winter.
The ferry only needs one engine to operate, but the design allows for both to be used when extra power is required - such as during the winter when river ice begins to form.
It also means the ferry can stay in service when one of the engines needs maintenance.
The Fori is one of Turku's less obvious tourist attractions, operating non-stop during the day, transporting up to 75 passengers at a time from one side of the Aura River to the other.

Please summarize the given passage. | The University of Stirling swimmer earned two silver medals in the relays in an impressive Olympic debut.
He told BBC Scotland: "British Swimming talk about it (the Olympics) being in the past and that's right.
"What's behind us is behind us. I need to set out and try and prove myself again for the next four-year cycle."
The British Championships in Sheffield act as qualifiers for the World Championships in Budapest in July, but should Scott make the British team he insists he does not feel under any pressure to follow up on his Rio accomplishments.
"Obviously it would be great to carry on that success but nothing is easy in sport," he said.
"If people want to try and put pressure on me, they can. I'm not really too bothered. Myself and my coach have got a game plan of what we want to do and what we want to achieve."
That plan starts in Sheffield from 18-23 April, an event which also serves as the trials for next year's Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast.
"At the British Champs I've got quite a challenging programme," said Scott.
"I'm going to be swimming five individual events (100m and 200m butterfly, 100m and 200m freestyle and 200m individual medley).
"But it will then hopefully prepare me for the likes of mixed relays, on top of semi-finals, etc, later in my career, so it'll be challenging but I'm looking forward to it.
"It's really hard to qualify for the British team. They're one of the best teams in the world at swimming, but the idea is to hopefully make it to the Worlds in the 100m and 200m freestyle and I might then have other events too."
Scott's Stirling University team-mate Ross Murdoch is also gearing up for the British trials and will go to Sheffield in confident mood, given his recent form.
"I'm feeling good. I was pretty happy with my races at the weekend at the Edinburgh International competition," said the 23-year-old.
"It was a lifetime best for me in-season in the 200m breaststroke, so I'm really excited to get going."
Murdoch insists he has "definitely recovered" from his Rio disappointment, where he failed to qualify for the final of the 100m breaststroke.
"It's one of those things, you wake up every morning and you've got to realise how much you want it, to truly want it," he says of his desire for success.
"It's enough to say it, but actually wanting it? I can safely say that I wake up every morning wanting it these days."
Like Scott, Murdoch acknowledges the importance of next month's Sheffield event.

Please summarize the given passage. | Sean Diver, 39, was last seen in the Townsend Street area on 27 January.
He is described as being abut 5ft 7in tall, of a slim build and with brown hair. He also has tattoos on his neck.
Police and other emergency services have been carrying out searches in the town.
Police have asked farmers and landowners in the Strabane, Sion Mills and Lifford areas to check any outhouses.
Mr Diver's brother, Mark, told BBC Radio Foyle "he hasn't contacted anyone.
"This is totally out of his character. We've been out every day looking for him. We found a phone but it turned out it wasn't his.
"As each day goes by, we just think he is in the water. We are fearing the worst."
"My mother hasn't moved from the chair," Mr Diver added.
"She breaks down. She just expects him to come through the door. She is still hopeful.
"He has a young daughter at the age of 12. She is a daddy's girl.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The former French finance minister was the only nominee for the directorship. Commentators had said there were no obvious challengers for the job.
Ms Lagarde, 60, received support from the UK, Germany, China, and France, among other countries.
She has led the IMF since 2011 and is its first female director.
"The period for submitting nominations for the position of the next managing director of the International Monetary Fund closed on Wednesday, February 10," said Aleksei Mozhin, dean of the IMF's executive board.
"One candidate, current managing director Christine Lagarde, has been nominated," he added, before saying the board's goal was to complete the selection process as soon as possible.
Ms Lagarde's current term in office expires on 5 July. She had said she would seek a second mandate in January.
Her nomination comes amid a demand for her to stand trial in France for alleged negligence around a 2008 compensation payment to a top businessman, Bernard Tapie.
Ms Lagarde's lawyer has said the decision to make her stand trial was "incomprehensible" and that the IMF boss would appeal.
The IMF is an organisation of 188 countries. Its main job is to ensure the stability of the world's monetary system, which it describes as the system of exchange rates and international payments that allows countries to transact with each other.
Kyle MacLeod headed home and Brian Cameron converted a penalty to double Elgin's advantage after 32 minutes after he was fouled by Andy Munro.
Cameron headed in a second before Josh Skelly pulled a goal back late on.
But Craig Gunn scored the goal of the game in injury time with a precise finish into the top corner.
While Arbroath finish ninth, Elgin go on to face third-top Clyde in their play-off semi-final after both sides leapfrogged Queen's Park on the final day.
Police found the victims after investigating reports of squatters.
The room was too low to stand up in, one victim was chained to a boiler, and the only food in the room was a container of orange juice, police said.
One suspect, Linda Ann Weston, previously served eight years in prison for starving a man to death in 1981.
Police officially charged Weston, 51, Gregory Thomas, 47, and Eddie Wright, 50 with multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Authorities are looking into additional federal charges, a spokesman told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"We're going to find every crime possible in the crime code to put on these individuals," said Lt Raymond Evers.
The adults found in the basement have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, police said.
They ranged in age from 29 to 41. Once found, they were taken to hospital and listed as being in a stable condition.
Turgut Gozleveli, the owner of the Philadelphia building, told the Philadelphia Inquirer he checked out the basement after neighbours complained of suspicious people.
When he failed to find anyone in the basement, he followed the sound of a barking dog to a room under the basement, where a chain was wrapped around a door handle.
Inside he saw two small dogs and blankets, and then people's faces.
"It was terrible," he said. "Something I never expected to see in my life."
He then called police, who found the adults in the 15ft by 15ft (4.5m) room, surrounded by buckets of their own excrement.
According to police interviews with the captives, they had been brought to Philadelphia about 10 days before they were found, having been in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Texas.
Linda Ann Weston and Eddie Wright recently lived for about two months at a home in West Palm Beach, stripping it of wire and plumbing and smearing faeces on the walls, according to a report by the Palm Beach Post.
Previously she served eight years in prison for starving to death 25-year-old Bernardo Ramos. Ramos had refused to support her sister's unborn child.
She held him in the closet of their Philadelphia apartment in 1981 for two months, feeding him only three times, according to reports. | The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, has been nominated for a second five-year term at the helm.

Summarize the content provided below. | Tjaronn Chery showed great technique to convert a 24th-minute James Perch cross for his third goal in his last five games for a deserved half-time lead.
The Rams had barely threatened but improved on the resumption and substitute Darren Bent forced a good save from keeper Alex Smithies.
But the hosts sealed victory late on through Gabriele Angella's strike.
Angella slid in a teasing Matt Phillips free-kick to wrap up a win which takes Rangers up to 11th in the Championship table, nine points adrift of the play-off places.
Derby, seeking a fourth win in five, were outplayed in the first half by a home side who looked lively in attack thanks to the twin threat posed by wingers Phillips and Junior Hoilett.
Sebastian Polter went close before Chery's fine finish following a superb run and cross by Perch on the left and Phillips almost got on the end of a Hoilett centre to double the lead,
Derby, who remain fifth, upped the urgency and adopted a more direct approach, but still struggled to create clear chances and defender Angella made it 2-0 with four minutes left.

"We've missed an opportunity to get at least a point. It's bitterly disappointing. We're taking two steps forward and one back."
In total, 199 deaths were reported, 70 of which were self-inflicted.
Howard League chief executive Frances Crook said almost all deaths in custody were "preventable".
The Prison Service said it was committed to safety and each death was investigated by police and the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.
The Howard League statistics are based on notifications from the Ministry of Justice.
Ms Crook said: "Each death in custody is a tragedy and almost all of them are preventable.
"The responsibility for an increase in the number of people who take their own lives in prison lies squarely with those who advocate putting behind bars more and more people who do not need to be there."
The Howard League said there were four murders or suspected murders in prisons in 2012, the highest for 15 years.
Last year inmates at HMP Hewell and HMP Long Lartin, both in Worcestershire, were murdered.
Two murder cases, one at HMP Lincoln and another at South Yorkshire's Lindholme Prison, are still going through the courts.
More than 100 prisoners died of natural causes, and a further 22 deaths are yet to be classified by prison authorities, the charity said.
Ms Crook added: "This is the consequence of a policy that squanders a scarce resource, meaning that these institutions cannot keep people safe."
The Prison Service said it was "applying strenuous efforts to learn from each [death]".
Five suicides were recorded at Wormwood Scrubs in London, while there were four at Woodhill, near Milton Keynes.
A further six prisons each recorded three self-inflicted deaths during the year.
They were Hewell, Birmingham, Dovegate, Norwich and Chelmsford.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | High in the Himalayas, young novice monks in maroon robes take their lessons in the 15th-Century Thiksey monastery near Leh in Ladakh - known as the land of high passes - in Indian-administered Kashmir, disputed territory between India and Pakistan.
With its whitewashed ramparts sitting over 3,000m high on a rocky crag, with breathtaking views across the Indus Valley to the mountains beyond, Thiksey is home to a monastic community affiliated with the "yellow hat" or Gelukpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
Tibetan Buddhism is a religion in exile, forced from its homeland when Tibet was conquered by the Chinese. Many Tibetan families in India send at least one child to a monastery to learn about their own culture, language and religion.
Visual aids to understanding are very common in Tibetan Buddhism - pictures, structures of various sorts and public prayer wheels and flags provide an ever-present reminder of the spiritual domain in the physical world.
Buddhism is a tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development. Buddhists strive for a deep insight into the true nature of life and do not worship gods or deities.
At least 10 Indian and Pakistani soldiers and civilians have been killed in the violence over the past week.
Both sides have accused each other of starting the hostilities.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it.
The latest round of hostilities come days before US Secretary of State John Kerry is due to visit India. President Barack Obama is also due to visit India as the chief guest at the country's Republic Day celebrations on 26 January.
Some 10,000 civilians living in border villages on the Indian side have fled their homes since fighting began last week, a senior official named Shantmanu told Reuters news agency.
"We had a narrow escape and there is a war-like situation," Sham Kumar, 54, an affected villager said.
"Pakistani troops are using long-range weapons. It is the first time we have seen such intense shelling."
He said he had left his village after a shell landed in a school about 3.5km (2 miles) from the border.
India and Pakistan are continuing to exchange fire in the disputed region on Tuesday, reports say.
"The firing is going on and we are giving befitting reply to Pakistani shelling," an Indian official said.
Pakistan said on Monday that its soldiers were "effectively responding to India's [unprovoked] firing".
A Pakistani military statement said four civilians, including a woman and a teenage boy, had been killed by Indian fire near the city of Sialkot since Sunday.
India said one of its soldiers was killed by Pakistani fire in the Samba area on Monday.
Last week, Indian forces in Kashmir killed four Pakistani troops on the border after an Indian soldier was killed in an attack blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan said it had lodged a protest with the Indian high commissioner in Islamabad.
Hostilities between the neighbours have escalated in the past year.
In October, 16 people - nine Pakistanis and seven Indians - died when the two sides exchanged fire for several days.
Correspondents say 2014 saw an escalation in hostilities between the neighbours, with some of the worst violence in a decade. Both sides have accused each other of initiating the clashes.
Earlier in the summer, India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to his inauguration and there were hopes that relations between Delhi and Islamabad would improve.
But relations have deteriorated since then, with India cancelling scheduled talks with Pakistan in August and insisting that Delhi would "not tolerate acts of border violations by Pakistan" and that "ceasefire violations must stop".

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Gabor's release from the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles has come more than a week earlier than expected and doctors are pleased with her progress, added John Blanchette.
The 93-year-old star of 1950s films Moulin Rouge and Lili had her leg amputated because gangrene developed after a hip replacement operation in July.
Mr Blanchette said Gabor's husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, had said his wife was now "feisty, yelling at nurses and at him. Everything is back to normal".
Gabor was admitted to hospital on 2 January after attempts to save her leg with antibiotics were unsuccessful.
The star had been admitted to hospital a number of times since breaking her hip in July.
After the hip replacement surgery, she went on to develop swelling in her legs and blood clots throughout her body.
She was in a critical condition and had asked for a priest during a trip to the hospital in August, but she recovered and was sent home.
She was readmitted to hospital in the new year because a wound in her right leg had grown and "wasn't healing any more", Mr Blanchette had said. Gabor had reportedly been bedridden for months.
The veteran actress was partially paralysed in a car accident in 2002 and suffered a stroke in 2005, after which she used a wheelchair.
Gabor starred in the films Moulin Rouge, Touch of Evil and Queen of Outer Space, among others.
Police believe Shannon Miles targeted Darren Goforth at a petrol station near Houston because Goforth was in uniform.
Houston officials did not disclose a motive, but took issue with recent protests against police officers.
"This rhetoric has gotten out of control," Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said on Saturday.
"We've heard black lives matter, all lives matter. Well, cops' lives matter too," he said. "Why don't we drop the qualifier, and say 'Lives Matter' and take that to the bank?"
Miles, 30, is black and Goforth, who was 47, was white.
The Black Lives Matter movement grew to prominence after a white policeman killed Michael Brown - an unarmed black teenager - in Ferguson, Missouri, last year.
The protest movement has continued to gain strength over the past year after several controversial police-involved deaths of black people including those of Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland.
"It is time for the silent majority in this country to support law enforcement," said Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson on Saturday.
"There are a few bad apples in every profession but that does not mean that there should be open warfare declared on law enforcement.
"The vast majority of officers are there to do the right thing, care about community."
The Black Lives Matter movement responded to Mr Hickman and Ms Anderson, saying the group promotes peace.
"It is unfortunate that Sheriff Hickman has chosen to politicise this tragedy and to attribute the officer's death to a movement that seeks to end violence," Deray Mckesson, one of the group's leaders, said on Twitter.
Goforth was pumping petrol on Friday night when prosecutors say Miles approached him from behind and shot him 15 times. A surveillance camera filmed the incident.
Miles appeared in court on Monday as prosecutors laid out the case against him.
Prosecutors said ballistic tests show that Miles owns the weapon that killed Goforth and a witness placed Miles at the scene.
Miles was previously convicted of charges of resisting arrest and disorderedly conduct with a firearm. There is no evidence that he and Goforth knew one another. | Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has been allowed home from hospital, eight days after having her right leg amputated, her spokesman has said.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The Supreme Court agreed with insurers who claimed an assembly law passed in 2013 was outside its competence.
The court said Welsh ministers had no right to impose charges to fund the NHS, and insurers should not be given extra liabilities for asbestos exposure which long predated the bill.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) welcomed the judgement.
"The Welsh Bill would have seen increased insurance premiums for Welsh businesses but no extra compensation for mesothelioma sufferers," said a spokesperson.
"The insurance industry remains committed to doing all it can to help the victims of this terrible disease and would be happy to work constructively with the Welsh Government on this issue, as it does on other public policy."
Pontypridd AM Mick Antoniw, who first proposed the bill, said he was "gutted" at the ruling, having predicted the measure could have raised £1m a year for the NHS in Wales.
The bill had been referred to the Supreme Court by the Welsh government's Counsel General Theodore Huckle following objections from the insurance industry.
The Welsh government said it would give "careful consideration to this judgment".
Presiding Officer Dame Rosemary Butler called for "greater clarity" so everyone understood what laws the assembly could pass.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled in favour of the assembly on changes to local government by-laws and the re-establishment of the Agricultural Wages Board which had been abolished by the UK government.
Billy Midmore, 23, was found guilty by a jury in 2016 of attacking Carla Whitlock in a Southampton street.
He was jailed for 15 years with five years extended licence for causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, said Midmore had an "appalling" record and the sentence was "not excessive".
Ms Whitlock, a mother-of-six, was sprayed with drain cleaner containing sulphuric acid in Guildhall Square in September 2015.
Train CCTV showed Midmore giving a high-five and fist-bumping a friend hours later.
The trial at Southampton Crown Court heard the attack happened after Ms Whitlock brokered a drug deal which went wrong.
Midmore's brother Geoffrey, 27, was robbed of drugs and cash worth £2,000.
On the morning the acid was bought, Geoffrey Midmore sent a message to his girlfriend saying: " It's cool though - I know who robbed me and set it up."
Later that day, he messaged a photograph of the drain cleaner, with the words: "This is the one face melter".
At the appeal, Billy Midmore's barrister argued the later message was hearsay evidence and should not have been admissible at the trial.
The barrister, Mark Ruffell, also argued Billy Midmore should have had a chance at his trial to question his brother about the message and why he sent it.
The Crown had argued the brothers, from London, bought the acid together and the attack was a joint enterprise.
Lord Thomas said the sentence handed to Billy Midmore was "not excessive or wrong in principle" in view of the defendant's "appalling list of previous convictions".
He said he would explain his decision to refuse the appeal against conviction at a later date.

Captain Alastair Cook suffered his first duck in 40 innings and I was surprised by Joe Root, who looked well set and confident but was dismissed by the spinners' first delivery of the day, which did turn - perhaps a sign that spin will play a part in proceedings once the sun comes out and dries the pitch.
But to have players other than Joe Root and Alastair Cook coming in and playing well when England were facing a problem is a good thing for the side. It shows they have others who can step into the breach.
I think everyone recognises that Taylor is a really promising young player. At 25, he is now completely different at the crease than when he first played Test cricket in 2012. He is much more confident.

The technique he showed today is exactly what you want from a number three when the team is in trouble.
The ball did a bit, although not much, but the team was in trouble and it was a very good examination of him. The pressure was not on him to score particularly quickly, therefore he could get in and bat, and that is what he likes to do.
He gave a very discreet clenched fist pump when he got to 50. He is an intense individual but he is also a good player.
Opener Alex Hales will obviously be a bit of a talking point. His dismissal was of the type his detractors point to as an illustration of how his technique will let him down in Test cricket.
The ball from Dale Steyn wasn't a half volley - it was wide and he chased it. Unfortunately, in Test cricket, you can't take that amount of risk early in your innings.
The 26-year-old has a great eye, he has scored explosive hundreds in one-day cricket and there is an argument for saying let him play his natural game.
That's OK, except when you are in circumstances like this on the first morning of a series and you have two of the best bowlers in the world running in with the ball doing a bit. Do you really want to be throwing your bat at a wide length ball? The odds are already stacked in the bowler's favour. You want to even up the odds, and that means leaving well and playing solidly with tight footwork.
Some people will judge him on today's dismissal but England have got to give him a chance and persevere with him. He is a talented batsman - it will be a steep learning curve and he will realise he needs to tighten up a bit.
Hopefully he will find some flatter pitches than this as the series goes on.

Positive feelings started high, but began to fall in mid-morning and then picked up again in the evening. Generally, positive words appeared more at the weekend than during the week.
However, the researchers say work is not necessarily to blame as the shift in mood pattern "was similar on weekends and weekdays" which instead "points to sleep and the biological clock" as the cause.
Negative feelings were lowest in the morning and increased throughout the day. The researchers said: "This pattern also suggests that people may be emotionally refreshed by sleep."
Researchers said day length affected positive tweets, but not negative ones suggesting "that winter blues is associated with diminished positive affect but not increased negative affect".
The gap appeared on Pond Street at about 09:00 BST and some 40,000 people have watched it via a live stream on BBC Sheffield's Facebook page.
The road, close to the city's bus station, has been closed and the hole cordoned off.
A heating system in the city had developed a leak, said contractors.
People have been watching the hole via the live stream from as far away as Auckland, New Zealand and Australia.
On BBC Radio Sheffield's Facebook page, Graham Bartley said the live video stream "had gone the hole hog" while David Blythen said "something similar happened last year or maybe the year before" on Pond Street.
Brian Long jokingly tweeted: "Have none of you seen War of the Worlds? Run for your lives."
Meanwhile, a passing cyclist, who gave her name as Elspeth, said she had seen "steam in the air" at the same spot two days ago.
Workmen on the site said the hole would be excavated, leaving one side of the road open while work was carried out.
Sheffield city centre and the surrounding areas are supplied with low-carbon energy generated in a central location, converted to hot water and pumped through a district network of underground pipes and delivered to a heat exchanger in buildings of all sizes and types.
The energy is recovered from burning the city's rubbish that cannot be recycled .
Steam is generated from the incineration process and passed through a turbine to generate electricity for the National Grid and/or converted to hot water for the network.
The Sheffield district energy network's leak meant a steam plume was visible, said contractors Veolia, who confirmed it was "making this safe".
A large hole, estimated to be about 15 ft (4.6m) deep, opened up in Hutcliffe Wood Road, Millhouses, in Sheffield on 24 April.
This was caused by an old lead mine. | Researchers have trawled through more than half a billion messages on Twitter, looking for changes in people's mood across days and seasons.
