Summarize the passage below. | Student Melanie Road was 17 when she was attacked after a night out in June 1984. Her body was found in front of garages near St Stephens Road.
A 63-year-old man from Bristol remains in police custody.
An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said it would be "inappropriate for us to comment further at this stage".
Butland, 22, wrote on Twitter: "I've learnt a lot from major tournaments, experiences I'll never forget. I'd love for you to experience the same!"
England internationals Lucy Bronze, Jade Moore, Jo Potter and Fran Kirby have also supported the appeal, along with Wales international Jess Fishlock.
The team's campaign will cost £20,000.
An online appeal aiming to raise half that amount reached its target with Butland's gift.
With donations still being accepted, the team hope the appeal will cover the entire cost of the trip.
A promotional video featuring former athletes Jonathan Edwards and Andy Turner, as well as a host of big names from women's football, helped start the appeal.
Butland, capped three times by England, also works as an ambassador for the Kick It Out anti-discrimination campaign.
23-year-old Porter has taken 54 wickets in the Championship this season with best figures of 5-46 against Northants in April and has agreed a deal to 2019.
Lawrence, 19, has scored 943 runs in 15 first-class games in 2016 and will remain with Essex until at least 2018.
Meanwhile Essex have announced paceman Tom Moore will leave the club at the end of the season.
"There is nowhere I would rather continue my career at the moment," Porter told the club website.
Lawrence added: "I am extremely excited to be able to contribute towards winning as many trophies as possible over what will hopefully be a very successful few years for the club."

He's also the first artist to headline at Wembley stadium in London, without any backing band or singers.
BBC entertainment reporter Colin Paterson met him on the big stage.
Keith Brown said the firm agreed to "consider" his request to pay a "living wage" of £8.45 an hour.
He said they would have another meeting in two or three months' time.
The minister had previously said he was concerned by reports that staff at the Dunfermline site could be sacked for being off sick.
The Sunday Times claimed that workers could be dismissed for taking four days off, even if they had a sick note from a doctor.
The issue was raised in the Scottish Parliament, with North East Fife MSP Willie Rennie saying he had been contacted by constituents who reported "intolerable" working conditions.
Speaking after his visit to the Dunfermline "fulfilment centre" on Monday, Mr Brown said: "I had a productive meeting with senior members of Amazon's management team this afternoon and I asked them a series of questions around personnel and transport related-issues, which had been the subject of recent media reports.
"I then made a series of requests of the senior management team including in relation to becoming involved in our Fair Work agenda through the fair work convention, paying the real living wage and trade union activity in the workplace
"They have agreed to consider these requests and to a further meeting in the course of the next two to three months.
"These jobs are important to Scotland's economy - 4,500 at its current peak and 1,800 permanent employees - and so it's crucial that we continue to work with Amazon to help deliver fair work practices."
Amazon said all permanent and temporary Amazon workers started on £7.35 an hour or above, regardless of age, and £11 an hour and above for overtime.
A company spokeswoman said: "Amazon provides a safe and positive workplace with competitive pay and benefits from day one. We are proud to have been able to create several thousand new permanent roles in our UK fulfilment centres over the last five years.
"One of the reasons we've been able to attract so many people to join us is that we offer great jobs and a positive work environment with opportunities for growth." | A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a girl who was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in Bath more than 30 years ago.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | December saw the election of the first female premier of the tiny British territory of Turks & Caicos (TCI). She is Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson.
Women also claim the titles of deputy governor, attorney general, chief justice, chief magistrate, director of public prosecutions and five of the seven permanent secretaries, among others.
In fact, with more females markedly outperforming their male counterparts, efforts are now being made to motivate young men in a bid for equality.
Turks & Caicos' Gender Affairs Department, traditionally aimed at empowering women, is shifting attention towards helping high school boys "become more focussed and take up pivotal roles in society", says Deputy Governor Anya Williams.
That includes everything from official commemoration of International Men's Day, to "build a boss" summer camps which teach young men vocational skills and include seminars on peer pressure, anger management and communication.
So how did the women of Turks & Caicos achieve what many others still dream of?
Ms Cartwright-Robinson, whose PDM party snared a landslide victory in the 15 December general elections, says she was simply "the best man for the job".
Campaigning on a manifesto of social justice and open, transparent governance, she beat 52 other candidates to the top post.
Her triumph put an end to a 13-year reign for the PNP party, led from 2003-9 by former premier Michael Misick who remains on trial for corruption after his lavish spending prompted a commission of inquiry, followed by a three-year return to direct British rule.
Ms Cartwright-Robinson says that her eight years of parliamentary experience, including an advisory position to the UK interim administration, stood her in good stead for her new job.
"There may still be one or two pastors who think women can't lead but because of the work I have done over the last few years, I wasn't looked at as a woman but as a person who could get the job done," she told the BBC.
But she thinks that women do bring something special to the job.
"Women pay more attention to details and bring that level of personal touch. We are indeed occupying positions never before held and are doing remarkably well," the first female premier in any of Britain's overseas territories said.
But she added that trendsetters like herself never had an easy path.
"I celebrate the women in TCI who are shattering glass ceilings. These recent appointments demonstrate a level of maturity in my country that we can all be proud of."
Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles describes the volume of high-powered women in the islands generally as "noticeable".
In February 2014, Ms Braithwaite-Knowles became TCI's first female attorney general following an open selection process which attracted applicants from across the globe.
"There are a lot of very strong women in TCI who play significant roles, who are very active in civic society and very vocal - in both the corporate world and government," she explained.
Of the 17 students from TCI currently training overseas to be lawyers, 14 are female.
"It's an interesting dynamic," she said. "I have found in my professional life that women have more emotional intelligence which is very useful when solving disputes."
Ms Braithwaite-Knowles says while she has never been a victim of discrimination, "condescension" from older male professionals is more prevalent.
"Sometimes you feel you have to prove your worth and that you're in the position purely because of the quality of your work. With older men in senior positions, your gender can be a distraction for them but after a while the fact that you're a female seems to disappear."
What can be tougher to deal with, the attorney general continues, is balancing a demanding working life with being a mother to her seven-year-old son and a wife.
"But women are versatile so we are best suited to it."
She added: "The fact that women have reached these positions is an accomplishment. It's even better when we are able to demonstrate that we got there following an open and fair competition."
Deputy Governor Williams agrees.
Her role, second only to London-appointed Governor John Freeman, was also thrown open to candidates worldwide.
Previous position-holders had been directly appointed, not recruited.
Ms Williams, whose job includes oversight of the civil service and its 1,700 employees, was sworn in as a member of the cabinet for the second time on 21 December.
She tells the BBC women have long held prominent roles in the country of 35,000 people, particularly in the fields of education, medicine, politics and government.
"In TCI I see no barriers for entry or upward mobility," she said.
But she warned: 'Whilst it's great having females in so many top positions, as a mother of a young son we must ensure that our young males are motivated, encouraged and given opportunities to excel and take up future positions as well so that we have a gender-balanced society." | Hillary Clinton may not have shattered the ultimate glass ceiling, and indeed women globally still occupy a meagre percentage of top public sector posts, but as Gemma Handy reports, there is one Caribbean country where females are bucking the trend. |
Give a brief summary of the following article. | The Weeping Window was first seen at the Tower of London and commemorated those who died in World War One.
The exhibition has been at The Silk Mill, Derby, since 9 June and has had about 200,000 visitors.
Derby City Council culture spokesman Peter Ireson said he hoped people had been "inspired" by the installation.
Artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper's poppy installation, named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, saw more than five million people visit the Tower of London in 2014.
The Weeping Window, a cascade of sculptured poppies, has been on tour across the UK and ends in Derby on Sunday.
Mr Ireson said: "[The exhibition] has been massive culturally in terms of numbers of people who have engaged with this wonderful exhibition, but also in terms of the local economy."
Ashley Lewis, spokesman for the Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District, said: "It certainly has put Derby on the map nationally and we have had visitors from all around the world and all over the UK. It's been a really positive thing to have here."
Derby businessman Steve Owens, who runs Jack Rabbits Kitchen, said: "It has pretty much doubled our take. To have something this iconic come to Derby has really increased sales… and it is brilliant," he said.
Mr Ireson added: "This proves that … a fantastic piece of art can inspire people and have an economic knock-on effect for the rest of the city."
Portsmouth, promoted from League Two on Monday, are subject to a bid from American billionaire Michael Eisner.
Eisner is in exclusive negotiations with Portsmouth until 1 June.
The PST surveyed its members over a potential ownership change with 94% agreeing to the importance of retaining at least one board member at the club.
In a recent interview, former Walt Disney chief executive Eisner said he would remove fan representation from the board if his takeover bid was successful.
The PST, which currently owns 48% of the club's shares, has three members out of nine on the board.
In a statement, the PST said: "Given we represent the largest share in the club, we would hope to see our members' views on supporter ownership and involvement, and protection of the club's heritage, reflected in any bid.
"Ultimately, it will be our shareholders and members who will vote to decide whether this, or any other bid for the club, is successful."
More than 2,000 people responded to the survey on hopes, concerns and opinions relating to an ownership change over a week-long period.
It revealed 64% initially felt positive about Eisner's interest, rising to 74% the more they heard about his intentions.
Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society, which dates back to 1761, is making a series of improvements to its course in Barnton.
The bunkers are to be redesigned and repositioned to reflect the distances club golfers are now striking the ball.
Golf course architects Mackenzie and Ebert have been commissioned to carry out the work.
The course will be restored to a par 71 by extending the current par 4 13th hole to create a par 5 and introducing a new signature par 3 16th hole to replace the existing par 3 12th.
The project is due to get under way later this year.
The rock tumbled on to the line near Stroud, Gloucestershire, on Monday.
The cutting has safety netting in place but Network Rail said it was not built "to stop anything of this size".
The company will now examine whether "more resilient measures" are needed, but said it was too early to say if it was a "close call or not."
"It's certainly something we're going to be looking at very closely in terms of how it happened, what the potential consequences could've been and how we could prevent anything like it from happening again in the future.
"We are going to have to ask ourselves about the geological knowledge we have of that particular cutting and do we need to urgently update that and put some more resilient measures in place?" it said in a statement.

Can you summarize the following information? | Scientists at the University of Sussex found conversations can cause the driver to visually imagine what they are talking about.
This uses a part of the brain normally used to watch the road, the University of Sussex study said.
The findings made the case for all phones to be banned from cars, according to the lead researcher.
It is illegal in the UK to ride a motorcycle or drive using hand-held phones or similar devices.
Drivers can get an automatic fixed penalty notice if caught using one. They will get three penalty points on their licence and a fine of £100.
The law currently says drivers can use hands-free phones, sat navs and two-way radios, but if the police think the driver is distracted and not in control of the vehicle, they could get penalised.
The study involved 20 male and 40 female volunteers who took part in video tests while sitting in a car seat behind a steering wheel.
One group of volunteers were allowed to "drive" undistracted while another two heard a male voice from a loudspeaker 3ft (0.9m) away.
Those who were distracted by the voice engaging them in conversation took just under a second longer to respond to events, such as a pedestrian stepping off the pavement, an oncoming car on the wrong side of the road or an unexpected vehicle parked at a junction.
The study showed that asking a simple question - such as, "where did you leave the blue file?"- during phone conversations could mean a driver concentrates on an area four times smaller than normal, because their brain is imagining the room where they left the file, instead of checking for hazards in front of them.
Alice Husband's seven-year-old son Seth died in December 2014, two weeks after he was hit by a car driven by a woman who was talking to a friend on her mobile phone using the loudspeaker function.
Mrs Husband told BBC Radio 5 live she agreed with the coroner, who said at her son's inquest that the use of the mobile phone would have had an impact.
"If my son perhaps wasn't so excited and didn't run, if he walked across the road - he's a child - if the driver hadn't been speaking on her mobile phone, all of these things could have made a difference to him, but at the end of the day it was a terrible accident and nothing is going to bring Seth back," she said.
"I think even just using a CD player; obviously we all know it is distracting because you are looking away from the road and I think we need to be more aware of how any distraction influences our driving and how important it is not to be distracted by such things if you get a phone call."
Dr Graham Hole, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Sussex, said the research laid bare the "popular misconception that using a mobile phone while driving is safe as long as the driver uses a hands-free phone".
"The problem is enforceability - it's very difficult for the police to tell if someone's using a hands-free phone," he said.
"But on balance, I think the law should be changed to get the right message across and make it absolutely clear that any use of a mobile phone while driving is hazardous."
Other studies have suggested that phone conversations in a car are more off-putting than listening to the radio or talking to a passenger, Dr Hole added.
A passenger chatting in a car is less distracting, the researchers argue, because both stop talking when the driver needs to concentrate.
Alice Bailey, from road safety charity Brake, said: "These are life and death decisions, these extra three car lengths is the difference between a child dying and a child living and we just think the law needs to change.
"We need one clear law. All phones, hand-held and hands-free, need to be banned in cars - the only safe phone is one that is switched off.
"How important is any phone conversation that lives are lost?"
Kevin Clinton, from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said he was not surprised by the study's findings and also called for a law banning the use of hands-free phones in cars.
"Sadly, people continue to lose their lives on our roads in crashes caused by drivers who are distracted because they use a mobile phone," he said.
"This can so easily be avoided by all drivers switching off their phones while driving, and only checking messages once they have stopped in a safe place." | Drivers using a hands-free phone get just as distracted as those holding it in their hand, researchers have found. |
What is the brief summary of the provided content? | But when that pressure gets too great, there comes a moment when they have to go public and for David Cameron that moment came last night.
In the long run, the prime minister will hope to achieve his aim of drawing a line under this story.
Journalists and opposition MPs will naturally keep asking questions.
But there are unlikely to be more significant revelations than the fact that Mr Cameron did indeed benefit from an offshore trust, something that is legal but over which people have differing views.
The problem for the prime minister is that the political imagery is not good.
He is engaged in the political fight of his life, trying to convince the British people to vote to stay in the European Union.
And anything like this, that distances Mr Cameron from the electorate, that reminds people of his wealthy and privileged background, well let's just say the timing is not great. | When a politician is under pressure, facing questions about their family and their finances, their natural instinct is to protect their privacy and say as little as possible. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The Spaniard, 40, worked as number two to Garry Monk at both teams and replaces Michael Appleton, who left Oxford to become Leicester assistant.
Clotet was chosen from a list of six, which included an internal candidate, and will work with the League One side's existing coaching staff.
"I will be working very hard to ensure their faith is repaid," said Clotet.
"Right from the first time I spoke to the club, we were very much in tune about the challenges and opportunities here, which is what led me to realise that this was the right move in my career."
Clotet, who did not accompany newly appointed Middlesbrough boss Monk to Teesside, joined Swansea as academy consultant in 2013 under Michael Laudrup.
He has managed in Spain - at lower-league Cornella and Figueres as well as the B teams at Espanyol and Malaga - and Sweden - at Halmstads. He was among the candidates to become Brentford's new boss in 2015.
"It is an appointment that demonstrates our growing reputation within football as a forward-looking and ambitious club," said Oxford chairman Darryl Eales.
"Pep was the unanimous choice of the board, and we believe he will build on the significant progress we have made over the past three years and accelerate our collective objective of sustainable Championship status."
On Monday, Eales said the club had missed out on transfer targets Liam Lindsay and Conor McAleny as a result of Appleton's departure on 20 June, adding that player recruitment would only start after his successor was found. | Oxford United have appointed former Leeds United and Swansea City assistant boss Pep Clotet as their new manager. |
Summarize the information given below. | John Letts and Sally Lane are accused of sending cash to 20-year-old Jack Letts, who was suspected of joining so-called Islamic State in 2014.
The Oxford couple, of Chilswell Road, allegedly sent their son £1,723 between September and January.
They did not enter pleas during an appearance at the Old Bailey earlier.
Ms Lane is also charged with two counts of attempting to send payments of £500 on January 4.
Mr Letts, 55, and his 54-year-old wife, are due to go on trial in London on 9 January. It is expected to last up to four weeks.
Jack Letts was suspected of being the first white Briton to join the terror group after he left his Oxford home and travelled to war-ravaged Syria in 2014.
He has denied the allegations but told to Channel 4 News he "opposes a non-Islamic system" and has no plans to return home.
The government is committed to boosting spending on the NHS by £8bn annually by 2020.
But it is understood this pledge will not apply to public health work done by local authorities and health education, where there are set to be cuts.
Health will be a central part of the Chancellor George Osborne 's spending review next week - he will set out how the £8bn commitment will be phased in.
But since the pledge was made before the election, he and other ministers have been careful to say this extra funding over and above inflation is for the NHS.
It is expected that the Chancellor will confirm that this investment will be granted to NHS England.
But it is understood that the Treasury wants cuts in other areas of health spending over the next four years - including public health run by local authorities covering work like sexual health and smoking cessation - £200m has already been removed from this year's council public health budgets.
There may well be protests that cutting budgets aimed at prevention will not help the NHS make the best use of its own resources.
The Faculty of Public Health, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and other health organisations wrote to the Chancellor last month calling for this year's £200m cut to be reversed. The reduction was described as a "cut to the NHS in all but name".
An added complication is that responsibility for health visiting for nought to five-year-olds has been transferred from NHS England to local authorities.
This carries an annual additional budget of £800m. It is understood this will be ring-fenced, with spending reductions applied to other areas of public health.
Health Education England is being pushed to find savings - this could involve free tuition and maintenance grants for student nurses being axed to be replaced by loans, with the money perhaps being reallocated to training places.
When this possible move emerged last month, reported by the Daily Telegraph, the Royal College of Nursing argued that it could deter people from entering training, especially graduates who had already run up student loans.
There are intense negotiations between health chiefs and the Treasury . They may well continue until the eve of the Chancellor's announcement.
A Whitehall source made clear that discussions are ongoing, and that the government's commitment to the NHS still stands.

Summarize the content of the document below. | On Sunday, Greece's finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said his country intended to meet "all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum".
His comments followed a meeting in Washington with International Monetary Fund officials.
It has been almost five years since the start of the Greek bailout.
Ms Lagarde said in a statement on Sunday that she and Mr Varoufakis had agreed continuing uncertainty over Greece's ability to repay its debt was not in the country's interest.
"I welcomed confirmation by the minister that payment owing to the Fund would be forthcoming on April 9th," Ms Lagarde said.
"I expressed my appreciation for the minister's commitment to improve the technical teams' ability to work with the authorities to conduct the necessary due diligence in Athens, and to enhance the policy discussions with the teams in Brussels, both of which will resume promptly on Monday."
There had been concerns that Greece would not be able to meet its IMF loan repayment of €450m.
Greece has been in tense, drawn-out negotiations in recent months with its creditors over its bailout program.
In February, its government negotiated a four-month extension to its bailout in return for dropping key anti-austerity measures and undertaking a eurozone-approved reform programme.
But IMF leaders together with the European Union have frozen aid to the cash-strapped nation until its government comes to an agreement on the reform package.
Last week, the country presented a new package of reforms in the hope of receiving some funding, but the proposal has not yet received approval from EU and IMF lenders.
The delay of about €7.2bn ($7.9bn; £5.3bn) due to be delivered to Greece has forced the government to use its reserves to meet its obligations.

"This issue is something that we have been working with conservation groups to avoid and while we recognise that the current Pokemon Go phenomenon provided many people with a lot of pleasure and increased footfall to a number of venues, St Mary's Island is an area of natural beauty with significant wildlife.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Liz Kendall promised an "optimistic vision of a better Wales" if she wins, while in Cardiff.
In Wrexham, Andy Burnham said: "We want to see more devolution within the Labour party, it's been too London-centric for too long."
Fellow candidates Yvette Cooper and Jeremy Corbyn were in Wales last week.
Ms Kendall said: "I absolutely believe in getting as many powers as possible out of Westminster and down, not just to the Welsh assembly, but also to local communities.
"Wales knows best what skills, infrastructure and employment programmes, housing and transport is needed here.
"That's (a decision) not best made by Whitehall, it's best made by the people in Wales."
She told BBC Wales she would "stand shoulder-to-shoulder" with Welsh Labour.
"We need to regain trust on the economy, on issues like welfare and immigration, but also to have a positive, optimistic vision of a better Wales in the future and that's what I offer," she added.
Around 80 people attended a meeting where Mr Burnham took questions from party members in Wrexham.
He said the party had been "too out of touch with its grassroots", adding he wanted to see "more staff, more funding for the Welsh Labour party".
"More broadly when we look at the country, I've asked Carwyn Jones to co - chair a UK constitutional convention so that we get the final settlement right, a settlement that does give more power to all the nations of the UK but actually still holds us together as a United Kingdom," he said.
Mr Burnham added: "I put economic credibility at the heart of everything I've been doing".
He also said there is a risk of "disunity" and "Labour could go back to the days of division", saying "I will do whatever I can to hold the Labour Party together".
Ms Cooper met party members at Connah's Quay, Flintshire, on Friday, stressing the need to create more hi-tech jobs such as those at the nearby Airbus plant.

Sullivan said the 48-year-old did an "amazing" job in his first season in charge, as the club finished seventh.
"Slaven cares passionately and this defeat will be hurting him as much as anyone," he told the club website.
"I have no doubts that he is doing everything he can to address the situation and everyone is working together to ensure we turn our season around."
Bilic said he was "humiliated" by Saturday's defeat at London Stadium, where West Ham have only won twice in the league since their move from Upton Park in the summer.
"Despite what some people have said, there is still a great spirit among the players and everyone is working towards the same objective," added Sullivan.
"We all need to stick together and get behind the team. We are all part of the West Ham United family and in hard times families pull together."
The Treasury says there are now more of the new £1 coins, which first entered circulation in March, than the old round pound.
From 15 October, shops can refuse the old version of the coin.
However, most banks and Post Office counters will continue to accept them from customers.
They can be exchanged at any time in the future at the Bank of England in London.
"The clock is ticking. We are urging the public to spend, bank or donate their old pound coins and asking businesses who are yet to do so, to update their systems before the old coin ceases to be legal tender," said Andrew Jones, the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury.
The Royal Mint is striking 1.5 billion new 12-sided £1 coins, which were introduced to help crack down on counterfeiting.

The new coin has a string of anti-counterfeiting details, including material inside the coin itself which can be detected when electronically scanned by coin-counting or payment machines.
Other security measures include an image that works like a hologram, and micro-sized lettering inside both rims.

Please summarize the document below. | The "outrageous" jail term showed how far the Saudi authorities would go to silence those speaking out for human rights and political reform, it said.
On Sunday, a court in Jeddah convicted Mr Abu al-Khair of charges including "undermining the regime and officials".
He was also fined $53,000 (£31,000) and ordered to disband his organisation.
The Monitor of Human Rights in Saudi Arabia, which Mr Abu al-Khair founded, said the activist would refuse to sign the verdict or appeal because he did not see the court as legitimate.
HRW said Jeddah's Specialised Criminal Court - which tries terrorism cases - had convicted Mr Abu al-Khair on "vague charges that stem solely from his peaceful activism".
In addition to the charge of "undermining the regime", Mr Abu al-Khair was found guilty of "inflaming public opinion", "insulting the judiciary", "harming public order", founding an unlicensed organisation, and violating the anti-cybercrime law.
Although the court suspended five years of the sentence, it also imposed a 15-year ban on travelling abroad and told him to shut down all of his internet accounts.
Mr Abu al-Khair refused to respond to the charges against him during the trial, his wife Samar Badawi said. He referred instead to a note submitted to the judge declaring that he did not recognise the court's legitimacy.
"This outrageous sentence against Waleed Abu al-Khair shows how far Saudi Arabia will go to silence those with the courage to speak out for human rights and political reform," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East and North Africa director.
"Saudi Arabia has invariably dealt harshly with its citizens who criticise Saudi policies, but putting a peaceful activist behind bars for at least a decade over his social media comments and statements to news media is a new low," she added.
The US state department also said it was "troubled" by Mr Abu al-Khair's sentence.
"We urge the Saudi government to respect international human rights norms, a point we make to them regularly," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
In October, a criminal court in Jeddah sentenced Mr Abu al-Khair to three months in prison after convicting him on charges including "insulting the judiciary" and "attempting to distort the reputation of the kingdom".
Ms Whitson said the crackdown on peaceful human rights activists "makes a mockery of its membership of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, whose members are expected to promote and protect the very rights that the Saudi authorities are trampling underfoot".
On 25 June, a criminal court in Riyadh sentenced Fowzan al-Harbi, a member of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association, to seven years in prison, HRW said. He was convicted of charges including "participating in, calling for, and inciting breaking allegiance with the ruler" and "describing the Saudi regime - unjustly - as a police state". | The sentencing of the prominent Saudi human rights activist Waleed Abu al-Khair to 15 years in prison has been condemned by Human Rights Watch (HRW). |

Give a brief summary of the content. | The two sides agreed to take measures to promote greater Indian exports to China, to reduce India's trade deficit.
Companies have already signed business deals worth $16bn on the opening day of Chinese PM Wen Jiabao's three-day official visit to India.
The latest of a number of world leaders to visit India, Mr Wen is accompanied by some 400 Chinese business leaders.
China is India's largest trading partner.
A joint communique signed by the two sides on Thursday said that they had agreed to expand co-operation in infrastructure, environment, information technology, telecommunications, and investment and finance.
It said that both wanted "to draw on each other's strengths and pursue mutual benefit and win-win results".
Mr Wen held talks on Thursday with Indian PM Manmohan Singh.
The two men discussed a number of sensitive issues, including a long-running border dispute.
Both sides said they need more time to sort out the border question.
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says that the Chinese premier's visit amounted to a strong endorsement of the economic relationship between the two Asian giants, even though contentious issues remain.
These include China's military build-up on the border and India's support for the Dalai Lama.
The two countries signed some 50 deals in power, telecommunications, steel, wind energy, food and marine products worth $16bn at the end of a business conference attended by Mr Wen in the capital, Delhi, on Wednesday evening.
This overtakes the $10bn of agreements signed between Indian and American businesspeople during the recent visit of US President Barack Obama.
"There is enough space in the world for the development of both China and India and there are enough areas for us to co-operate," Mr Wen told the business conference.
Mr Singh - speaking after his 11th meeting with Mr Wen in the last five years - said that a strong partnership between the two countries "will contribute to long-term peace, stability, prosperity and development in Asia and the world".
The Chinese delegation was larger than the number in delegations led in recent weeks to India by US President Barack Obama (215), French President Nicolas Sarkozy (more than 60) and British Prime Minister David Cameron (about 40).
The communique said that the two sides had decided to establish a "mechanism of regular exchange of visits between heads of state and government".
"They welcomed the opening of the telephone hotline between the prime minister of India and the Chinese premier and agreed on regular consultations between the two leaders on issues of importance to both countries," it said.
"They also agreed to establish the mechanism of annual exchange of visits between the two foreign ministers."
On Thursday China's premier will also met India's External Affairs Minister SM Krishna and the ruling Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi.
On Friday Mr Wen travels to India's nuclear-armed neighbour and rival, Pakistan, for a two-day official visit.
A fourth man, 57, remains in a critical condition in hospital after the 23:00 GMT collision at the junction of Sutton Road and Manor Way in Askern.

Two women, aged 53 and 54, and a 48-year-old man died.
Mr Hepworth has been charged with three counts of death by dangerous driving, three counts of aggravated vehicle taking, three counts of causing a death while driving uninsured and unlicensed, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

Can you summarize this passage? | Maud Coutereels gave Belgium a first-half lead with a header from a corner at the Stadion Den Dreef, Leuven.
And it was 2-0 when Scotland lost possession in their own half and Lien Mermans punished them.
Tessa Wullaert made it three with a left-foot shot into the top corner and Jassina Blom scored twice late on to complete Scotland's misery.
Anna Signeul's Scots had gone into the game two places above Belgium in the world rankings, their hosts' recent improvement having taken them up to 23rd on their way to also qualifying for this summer's finals in Netherlands.
With nine players unable to make the trip through injury, and Chelsea teenager Erin Cuthbert released to captain the Under-19s, who qualified for their own Euros last week, there were plenty of opportunities for Scotland's fringe players.
The only new cap in the starting XI was 29-year-old English-born central defender Vaila Barsley, who had never been in a Scotland squad before this game, having previously played for England Under-17s.
On a bad night for her side, she was to prove Scotland's best player until she was substituted on the hour.
The six-foot defender partnered captain for the night Ifeoma Dieke, with Shannon Lynn again preferred in goal to Gemma Fay, who has yet to play 90 minutes this year.
The first 15 minutes were as good as it got for the Scots. They even created the first chance in the opening 60 seconds, when Lisa Evans cut in from the right and tested Nicky Evrard with a 20-yard shot.
Once Belgium settled into their stride, it was only a matter of when they would score as the Scots were giving the ball away cheaply when in possession.
Glasgow City midfielder Leanne Ross did so just inside her own half - and, although Janice Caymen hit the bar with her ambitious 35-yard lob over Lynn, the goalkeeper could only scramble the rebound for a corner.
From that, Coutereels put Belgium into the lead. The goal, just after the half-hour, was all that separated the sides, but the goals the home side deserved came in the second period.
Lynn made a string of good saves but was finally beaten by Lien Mermens after Dieke was dispossessed 20 yards out.
One of Belgian's star players, Wulleart, then scored the best goal of the game just before the hour, lashing the ball home from the edge of the box.
The pace went out of the game, but substitute Jassina Blom scored twice late on to put the seal on her side's dominant performance.
Barsley's replacement was another central defender who had never been in a Scotland squad before.
Sophie Howard was born in Germany to British parents and plays for Hoffenheim, but by the time she came on for her fellow debutant, Scotland were already a lost cause.
Scotland head coach Anna Signeul: "It's really tough to take any positives - I feel sad for the players who haven't been in the squad before that this was their first experience of playing for Scotland.
"Even players that have many caps couldn't live up to their normal capacity. It's disappointing.
"Shannon had some great saves also - it could have been even more.
"It wasn't a good start to the second half. I feel sorry for Iffy (Dieke). She did some really good things in the first half.
"One thing I will say about the players is that they worked all game. They didn't give up." | Scotland women suffered a five-goal hammering by Belgium as they prepare for Euro 2017 this summer. |

The Office for National Statistics is to devise questions for a household survey, to be carried out up to four times a year.
This follows calls by David Cameron, when leader of the opposition, to look at "general wellbeing", arguing there was "more to life than money".
Downing Street promised an announcement "reasonably soon".
Happiness measuring is expected to begin as soon as next spring with the results published regularly, possibly on a quarterly basis
Such a move has been proposed by two Nobel Prize-winning economists and is being considered by the governments of France and Canada.
After becoming Conservative leader in 2005, Mr Cameron said gauging people's wellbeing was one of the "central political issues of our time".
He said: "It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP but on GWB - general wellbeing."
Send your comments
In its recent Spending Review, the government said there was "widespread acknowledgement that GDP is not the ideal measure of well-being".
A Downing Street spokesman said: "There is a huge literature on this issue and it's something that the prime minister spoke about in opposition and it's something this government says it is going to look at.
"But as to precisely what we are going to do and when we are going to do it, you should wait and see."
Almost 30 MPs have signed a Commons motion, proposed by Lib Dem Jo Swinson, arguing that "promoting happiness and well-being is a legitimate and important goal of government".
Ms Swinson said: "This is a positive and forward-looking move by the government, which will give us a much better idea of the health of UK society.
"Relying solely on GDP to track the nation's progress excludes many of the things that we all know to be important, but that can't be measured by money.
"What gets measured gets done. While it's not government's job to make people happy, regular measures of wellbeing will at least make sure it is taken into account."
Existing surveys suggest Britons' happiness has remained broadly static for at least 25 years, the motion says, arguing that the data should be used to inform policy.
The UK's National Statistician, Jil Matheson, who will oversee the happiness measurement, said: "There is growing international recognition that to measure national well-being and progress there is a need to develop a more comprehensive view, rather than focusing solely on gross domestic product.
"Important though that indicator is, there is a need to look at broader economic measures, 'quality-of-life' indicators and the impact progress has on the environment to assess national well-being, and how the UK is doing."
But UK Independence Party MEP Godfrey Bloom said it was an attempt "to invoke voodoo sociology in the service of a bigger and interfering state".
"I can guarantee that the only results of this proposal will be greater spending, greater bossing around and a decrease in happiness across the board," he added. | Luton have signed Huddersfield Town left-back Jack Senior on a two-year deal and Newcastle midfielder Alex Gilliead on loan until 7 January.

Can you summarize this passage? | The hosts almost took an early lead when Joao Teixeira teed up Joe Mason but he was denied by the hands of goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi.
Matt Doherty put the hosts ahead before the break when he hammered a fierce shot in from 12 yards.
Mason headed home from a George Saville corner to double Wolves' lead as Reading failed to make an impact.
After joining Wolves from Cardiff City in January, Mason's second goal in his last five games built on a promising end to last season.
Wolves, who beat Crawley 2-1 in the first round of the EFL Cup in midweek, move up to fifth in the table, on four points, following their opening-day 2-2 draw at Rotherham.
Jaap Stam's Reading, who slip seven places to 15th, struggled to counter Wolves' attacking threat, recording just one shot on target.
Wolves have now won two matches on the trot against Reading on the back of a seven-game winless run against the Royals prior to that.
Wolves head coach Walter Zenga:
"The team played very well. If we could have scored more goals it would have been nice. But I have a very nice group of players who want to work and push their limits.
"These are the most important things. As I said before, the spirit of the team is amazing. Sometimes I win and sometimes I learn but the passion, pride and spirit of the team must be the first three things.
"That is what we have to bring onto the pitch every time. The atmosphere was amazing as well. I have no words to describe that. My ambition remains to see the stadium full."
Reading manager Jaap Stam:
"In these games you need to be very sharp and focused. Wolves were really up for it at the beginning of the game and they did really well.
"The system that we want to play, you need to be patient on the ball and spread the play and let them run. But, if we lose the ball, it can be very difficult and that is what we did at times.
"If you are focused and concentrated then you can get results against these teams. We want to do a lot better but, if you look at the team, we played a lot of players who were not in the shape that they were in the last couple of weeks."

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Jersey won by 42 runs in the fifth-place play-off game, after narrowly beating hosts and eventual tournament winners the USA the day before.
But losses to Oman, Denmark and Bermuda meant relegation from the division.
Jersey made 250-6 from their 50 overs before bowling out Italy for 208.
Injuries in the Jersey squad saw 46-year-old team manager Tony Carlyon named in the side alongside his 15-year-old son Harrison.
"I never thought that was going to happen to be honest," Carlyon senior told BBC Radio Jersey.
"I think with USA yesterday, there was a lot given for that victory and to come back under these circumstances with people out on their feet and four guys already injured, to win as easily as that was great."
Batting first, a hundred partnership between openers Peter Gough (65) and Harrison Carlyon (32) gave the island side a good start.
Former Jersey all-rounder Tony Carlyon only managed a scratchy nine, but later bowled a tight seven-over spell for 24.
Man-of-the-match Corey Bisson blasted 63 from 47 balls as Jersey posted 250-6.
In reply, a steady start from Italy was derailed by two wickets in the seventh and eighth overs, off-spinner Elliot Miles claiming the second on his way to 3-45.
Italy's captain Damian Crowley took his side past 100 before he was bowled by Rob McBey for 39 in the 25th over.

Polling will be held from 4 February to 8 March. Votes will be counted on 11 March.
Analysts say that the effect of the rupee ban is expected to play a crucial role in all five state elections.
The government said the ban on 500 and 1,000 rupee notes was to curb corruption and the illegal hoarding of wealth as well as promote a shift to digital modes of payment. However, critics said the ban mostly impacted the poor and agrarian communities who largely depend on cash for their daily transactions.
Mr Zaidi said a total of 160 million voters would be eligible to cast their votes in the five states.
Voting will be held in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh in seven phases on 11, 15, 19, 23, 27 February as well as 4 and 8 March.

A victory in this state will be crucial to India's ruling BJP, but they will be up against two strong regional parties, the Samajwadi Party (SP) which currently rules the state and the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP), which is led by Dalit icon and former chief minister Mayawati.
The north-eastern state of Manipur will go to polls in two phases on 4 and 8 March.

Summarize the provided section. | Small Heath School was inspected by Ofsted following claims it was involved in a take over by hard line Muslims but was found to be "outstanding".
It has since been put into special measures.
Unions say there are plans to convert it to an academy but the council said it was not aware of such a proposal.
Three teaching unions - the National Union of Teachers, the NASUWT and the ATL - are involved in the strike at the secondary school.
The unions said the strike was taking place with "a great deal of regret" after the school's board "failed to give assurances academisation would not take place before the end of autumn term 2015".
David Room, the general secretary of the NUT in Birmingham, said: "We have been forced into this position because we have seen a letter from a senior figure in the local authority saying this school will become an academy."
Ofsted ranked the school "outstanding" in April 2014 under its previous long-serving head teacher, Peter Slough but said it lacked "vision" in inspections in January, following his retirement.
Birmingham City Council said they were "extremely disappointed" by the strike.
It said: "The reason for the strike has been given as potential academisation of the school.
"The Department for Education (DfE) has not approached the city council or the school so far about this."
"If they do, the [board] will ensure that there is immediate consultation with teachers and parents."
The DfE said: "Making sure every child has the chance to get an excellent education and the best start in life is a key priority.
"Ofsted's report on Small Heath School clearly shows that is not happening at the moment."
French regulators have been informed of "manufacturing anomalies" in components "particularly important for safety" at Flamanville 3 power plant, in Normandy.
The reactor is similar to one planned for Hinkley Point, in Somerset.
EDF Energy - involved in both projects - said a new series of tests was under way and it was working with regulators.
An investigation revealed potential weaknesses in the steel used to make a safety casing around the reactor at Flamanville, near Cherbourg.
Areva, which is building Flamanville 3 for EDF, says it is the first plant in the "new French reactor fleet", and it includes Areva's new EPR reactor.
The UK Office for Nuclear Regulation said it was aware of the French Nuclear Safety Authority's concerns about the reactor and would continue to liaise with French authorities.
"The UK currently have no EPR reactors but expects that learning from Flamanville 3 will be taken into account in the manufacture of components intended for the planned new reactor at Hinkley Point C," it said.
By Joe Lynam, BBC business correspondent
These safety issues in France could lead to even further delays in the construction and completion of the proposed £24.5bn Hinkley Point nuclear power plant.
It has already been delayed by months as the government negotiated a contract for EDF to supply electricity at a guaranteed price for 35 years.
The final decision on the project is expected in the coming months but is also delayed by Britain not having a fully functioning government - something which could be exacerbated if talks on forming a government drag on after the election.
These safety concerns in France are not expected to set the Hinkley Point project back too much but they may spook the Chinese companies set to invest in the project.
In a joint statement, Areva and EDF said new tests were under way on the "reactor vessel head and bottom".
It said this followed initial tests which had shown "greater than average carbon content" - something French regulators said caused "lower than expected mechanical toughness" in the steel.
EDF and Areva added: "Teams are working to perform the additional tests as soon as possible, following approval by the French Nuclear Safety Authority on the test conditions, and to provide the safety authority with all the necessary information to demonstrate the safety and quality of the corresponding equipment."

Summarize the content provided below. | Eye consultant Amar Alwitry was due to start at Jersey's General Hospital in December 2012 but was told a week before by the States Employment Board (SEB) his contract had been terminated.
Mr Alwitry said he had queried the safety of certain practices.
SEB said it was considering future legal action over the findings.
The board said it had noted the report's observations and expressed "significant disappointment" regarding a number of conclusions which it said it would not comment on.
Mr Alwitry, who was born in Jersey, said he was "absolutely gutted" when his contract was withdrawn "completely out of the blue".
He said: "I didn't eat for a week.
"My plan was always to come home to serve the people and so I've tailored my entire career to that aim."
The glaucoma specialist said he was told by senior staff at the hospital to "put up or shut up" when he suggested it would be unsafe for him to operate on a Friday unless senior colleagues could provide emergency care over the weekend.
The States Complaints Panel found managers had terminated Mr Alwitry's contract based on their subjective beliefs he was a "trouble maker" and the decision making process was not sufficiently transparent.
It said this reflected "19th Century" practices and it criticised the HR directorate and the then Solicitor General Howard Sharp QC for failing to recognise those problems.
"On a personal level the decision to terminate Dr. Alwitry's contract of employment has destroyed his professional life", the panel said.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | While patients in Sefton are told in five weeks, their counterparts in east Lancashire have to wait up to six months.
A government report published last year shows this is longer than almost anywhere else in England.
Campaigners including the Alzheimer's Society say such waiting times are unacceptable and want a 12-week limit.
There are 19,782 people living with dementia in Lancashire, according to the charity.
Early diagnosis of dementia is important as it allows people to plan for the future and can increase the effectiveness of dementia treatments.
But waiting times for patients to be assessed at memory clinics vary widely in Lancashire - from as little as one week in Lancaster to 18 weeks in east Lancashire.
There is then a further wait for a diagnosis, which ranges from two weeks to three months.
BBC North West Tonight's Gill Dummigan spoke to Betty Ellis, who was diagnosed with vascular dementia earlier this year.
Mrs Ellis, from Leigh, had to wait six weeks for her results.
"I thought 'why me?' But then you get through that," she said.
Mrs Ellis said the diagnosis was a real turning point.
"I'm coping. I'm better now in many ways than I was before."
The Alzheimer's Society wants all memory clinics to see referrals within four to six weeks and for nobody to wait longer than 12 weeks from referral to diagnosis.
The charity is also campaigning for better support after diagnosis to be provided by dementia advisers who can answer questions and give advice about local services.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | That compares with annual pre-tax profit of £2.26bn a year earlier.
It is the biggest loss suffered by a UK retailer and one of the largest in the country's corporate history.
Around £4.7bn of the losses were the result of the fall in property value of its UK stores, 43 of which it said would close earlier this month.
The decline in the value of its property portfolio comes as a direct result of falling footfall in many of its out of town superstores.
Tesco's chief executive Dave Lewis admitted it had been "a very difficult year for Tesco".
£6.4bn
record loss, 2014-15
£3.8bn
record profit, 2011-12
20% of retail space "underused"
43 stores to close
49 planned stores cancelled
He added: "The results we have published today reflect a deterioration in the market and, more significantly, an erosion of our competitiveness over recent years."
He said that he expected conditions in the coming financial year to remain challenging.
But Mr Lewis said more people were buying more things at Tesco and that this was "an important first step".
In the corporate world it's known as "kitchen-sinking" - finding all the bad stuff buried down the back of the sofa, adding it together and announcing a whopping great loss.
Today, Tesco became its latest proponent. In fact, to the kitchen sink Dave Lewis, the chief executive, has added the washing machine, the dish washer and the deep fat fryer.
The big, hairy, shiver-down the spine number is the revaluation of Tesco's 3,000 UK supermarkets and its stores overseas.
With the value of sales down and shoppers turning away from larger out-of-town stores, the business has admitted that its property portfolio simply isn't as valuable as it once believed.
Read Kamal's blog in full here.
The results cap a tumultuous year for the supermarket giant which is still being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) after it overstated its half-year profit forecast in August by £263m.
Annual group trading profit, which counts sales through the supermarket's tills was also down 60% at £1.4bn, compared with £3.3bn a year earlier.
UK like-for-like sales excluding fuel declined by 3.6% in the year.
Marc Kimsey, senior trader at Accendo Markets, described the results as "another shocker" from Tesco.
He added: "This set of results disappoints on every level - the pre-tax loss exceeds the City's already dire expectations and the trading profit has fallen by almost 60% in just a year.
"Traders are now discounting positive management rhetoric regarding a 'turnaround plan'. Only the numbers will do now and sadly, they are not only disastrous, but deteriorating."
Meanwhile, Paul Thomas of the retail consultants Retail Remedy, described the results as not only one of the biggest losses in British corporate history, "it's a black hole that risks consuming a once all-powerful brand".
He said: "To say Tesco's chief executive has a mountain to climb to reverse its decline is to underplay the scale of the task. At times the combative Mr Lewis must feel like an ant scaling the Himalayas."
The company said the performance of its European stores disappointed as a result of "strong competition from discount retailers" which held back its sales performance, particularly in Ireland which saw a like-for-like sales fall 6.3% in the year.
In Asia, Tesco said trading profit was £565m, once currency fluctuations were stripped out, 15.3% lower than a year earlier a result of sales falling in South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Tesco said it had also agreed a plan with the trustees of its pension scheme to pay £270m a year to help mend its £3.89bn pension deficit.

The veteran pro-EU MP was speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Vote Leave have stepped up their focus on immigration, accusing David Cameron of harming public trust in politics with his pledge to cut net migration.
Follow the latest updates on our live page
In a joint letter to the prime minister, Mr Johnson and Justice Secretary Michael Gove said Mr Cameron's promise to reduce net migration to below 100,000 at last year's general election was "plainly not achievable as long as the UK is a member of the EU".
Following the letter, a number of Conservative MPs broke ranks to call for Mr Cameron to quit even if the Remain campaign wins in 23 June's referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU.
Nadine Dorries - a long standing backbench critic of the prime minister who says she would back Mr Johnson in any contest to replace him - predicted the PM would be "toast" if Remain won by a narrow margin.
She told ITV's Peston on Sunday she had tabled a letter seeking a no-confidence vote in Mr Cameron.
Fellow Leave campaigner Andrew Bridgen suggested more than the 50 Conservative MPs needed to trigger such a vote were ready to move against Mr Cameron.
In his Today interview, Mr Clarke said Conservative in-fighting was "damaging to the referendum".
"The public are getting fed up with Tory civil wars when they thought they were being asked about the future of this country for their children and grandchildren.
"All this stuff about whether one or two backbenchers have signed letters calling for David Cameron to resign, I think most of the public would agree, is a bit of a diversion.
"I think Boris and Donald Trump should go away for a bit and enjoy themselves and not get in the way of the serious issues which modern countries of the 21st century face."
Pressed on his opinion of Mr Johnson, he said: "He is a much nicer version of Donald Trump but the campaign is remarkably similar in my opinion and about as relevant to the real problems that the public face."
Conservative MP Maria Caulfield, who entered Parliament at the 2015 election, said she hoped hostilities between Tory MPs would cease after the referendum.
"Of the new intake, the 2015 intake, we're very much hoping that after the referendum we can get back to doing the work we set out to do and that David Cameron as the prime minister will be leading that way," she told BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
Number 10 dismissed the personal attacks as a "distraction" intended to move attention away from the economic arguments for remaining in the EU.

In the long run, the prime minister will hope to achieve his aim of drawing a line under this story.
Journalists and opposition MPs will naturally keep asking questions.
But there are unlikely to be more significant revelations than the fact that Mr Cameron did indeed benefit from an offshore trust, something that is legal but over which people have differing views.
The problem for the prime minister is that the political imagery is not good.
He is engaged in the political fight of his life, trying to convince the British people to vote to stay in the European Union.
And anything like this, that distances Mr Cameron from the electorate, that reminds people of his wealthy and privileged background, well let's just say the timing is not great.
Holly Benbow, from Nantymoel, near Bridgend, said she did not want any presents but instead asked for cards.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The Labour mayoral candidate, Sadiq Khan, says keeping fares increases at 0% will cost £450m over four years, but TfL says the real cost will be £1.9bn, because Crossrail will bring in more passengers - and freezing fares means it won't benefit from inflation-linked fare rises.
In a briefing document, seen by BBC London, TfL says its £1.9bn figure "takes into account increasing ridership over the Business Plan (passenger numbers are rising by 5 per cent every year) and there will be new fares revenue from Crossrail when it opens in 2018/19".
An official said the Labour calculation did not include those factors.
TfL has an annual turnover of £11.5bn. It will lose £2.8bn in government revenue by 2020/21.
It is planning to raise £3.4bn by 2020/21 through being more commercial - that means selling and renting property and having more advertising.
And on top of that, it's planning to find £16bn in efficiencies by 2020/21. £4bn has been earmarked so far.
So as a would-be mayor who wants to freeze fares, your options are limited.
You can make efficiency savings, raise more commercial revenue, or opt for the far more politically unsavoury options of reducing the services TfL is running. Or you could reduce the investment in new infrastructure. Or you could go to central government and ask for money.
On top of that, TfL always lobbies extremely hard to keep control of its budget and its autonomy.
Fares policy isn't just about how much it'll cost commuters to get to work.
It suggests to voters how you'll handle finance.
It sets the tone on how you'll deal with TfL, and arguably it gives voters an insight into how you will run the administration.
To pay for the freeze, Sadiq Khan says that as mayor he would:
Speaking on the Sunday Politics, Sadiq Khan said: "Unlike any other candidate, I've actually got experience of being a minister in transport, and was the minister for Crossrail.
"My fares freeze is fully funded. We're going to make sure we make the savings this mayor hasn't made, but we're also going to increase revenue streams."
Tony Travers from the London School of Economics said: "The truth is that TfL has never felt austerity like much of the public sector - certainly nothing like the London boroughs. They have very substantial reserves that have been very substantial for years now.
"So if you ask the simple question 'could they stand a fares freeze?', the answer is yes. Would that mean, on the other hand, there was less money going into the system against which TfL could have borrowed in order for example to build the Bakerloo line extension? Well, that money wouldn't be there. So there will be less money in the system. And of course more crowding if fares don't go up."
The Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith has not yet said what he intends to do with fares.
Residents of Fred Wigg Tower, Leytonstone, had taken legal action to stop the security measure, saying it would make them a terrorism target.
However on Tuesday the High Court ruled in favour of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), agreeing that a tower block was a suitable site for the missiles.
A Labour MP has tabled an early day motion against the choice of location.
Leyton and Wanstead MP John Cryer's
motion says:
"This House recognises the need to provide reasonable security for the Olympic Games but is concerned at the unprecedented decision of the Ministry of Defence, in peacetime and where no emergency has arisen, to station troops, armed police and ground-based air defence missile systems on top of Fred Wigg Tower."

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The advice concerns the case of a Syrian family denied visas by Belgium, which argues it is not obliged to admit everyone from a war zone.
If the court accepts the finding, critics say it could open up a new path for migrants to reach Europe.
But Belgium's immigration minister has pointed out the advice is not binding.
Theo Francken said member states and the European Commission were "aware of the great precedent value" such a ruling would set.
In a similar recent case, he vowed not to open the door to "asylum chaos".
The outspoken minister has refused to pay daily fines imposed by a tribunal for refusing to admit another Syrian family.
He said he was prepared to see his office furniture confiscated rather than pay up and even went as far as to post a picture of himself in an empty office as a joke.
This case concerns a family from the then-besieged Syrian city of Aleppo who applied last October to the Belgian embassy in neighbouring Lebanon for entry visas so that they could make a full asylum claim inside Belgium.
The family comprises two adults and their three young children. They said one of them had been kidnapped by an armed group and beaten and tortured before being released in exchange for a ransom.
The family also argued that as Orthodox Christians, they were at risk of persecution because of their religious beliefs.
But their application was turned down, with Belgian authorities arguing that they clearly intended to stay in the country more than the visas' stipulated three months. In addition, they said EU member states were not obliged to admit all those finding themselves in a "catastrophic situation".
Now, Advocate General Paolo Mengozzi says that decision was contrary to EU law, in particular because it violated Article 4 (prohibiting torture and inhuman or degrading treatment) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Mr Francken had argued that Belgium cannot provide a visa to every Syrian family that has no connection to the country.
But in a press release accompanying the advice, the advocate general said the fundamental rights accorded by the charter were applicable "irrespective of any territorial criterion". | EU states must issue entry visas to people at risk of torture or inhuman treatment, the European Court of Justice's top adviser has said. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Latest figures show there were 25.8 million licensed cars in the third quarter of 2015 compared with 25.2 million in the same period of 2014.
Since 2011, the number has increased by about 1.6 million in England, 142,000 in Scotland and 69,000 in Wales.
The largest rise has been in south-east England, with 373,200 more cars over five years.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said there had been 2.63 million new cars made during 2015, a 6.3% rise on the year before. Production also hit a seven-year high.
Reasons suggested by the RAC Foundation include the growing population and even the rise in women in work.
Updates on this story and more from England.
Meanwhile, bus use has fallen across two-thirds of English council areas over six years, which the Campaign for Better Transport blamed on cuts in funding for supported services.
Department for Transport statistics reveal in five out of nine English regions, there is now at least one car for every two people.
South-east England has 561 cars for every 1,000 people.
The rate has also increased in London and the West Midlands in the past year, but the areas still have fewer cars per person than they did in 2011.
Philip Gomm, from the RAC Foundation, said the cost of buying a car had fallen over the past decade.
He said: "Over the past 20 years, the rise in the number of cars on the road in Britain has been relentless, going up from 21 million in 1995 to 31 million in 2015.
"The reasons behind this include: a swiftly growing population; economic prosperity; an increase in the number of households; more people than ever in employment and the growth of women in work."
James MacColl, from the Campaign for Better Transport, said bus fare increases meant it would be difficult to "solve the problem of more cars on the road".
"It is vital bus services are properly funded as they are a lifeline for those who rely on them to access essential services such as work, schools, health services and shops."
A Department for Transport spokesman said it was making sure all parts of the transport network received investment.
A £250m grant for bus companies was protected in last year's Spending Review, he added. | The number of cars on England's roads has risen by almost 600,000 in one year. |

Summarize the content of the document below. | Announce more money for a public policy initiative and say you will pay for it with an increase in taxes.
On Wednesday the Labour Party said that it plans to spend more than £5bn improving education in England.
To fund the initiative, the party also announced the details of its proposals to increase corporation tax from its present rate of 19% to 26% by 2020-21.
A move described by Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies as one of the most significant tax increases for 30 years.
Smaller firms with profits below £300,000 a year will see more modest rises - up to 21% by 2020-21.
Labour, using figures from the government's official economic watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, says the increases in corporation tax will raise £20bn by 2022.
The Liberal Democrats have also pledged more money for education (£7bn) paid for by a slightly lower increase in the business tax and the scrapping of tax allowances for married couples.
As both Labour and the Liberal Democrats will know, income from corporation tax (a tax on profits made by firms), is notoriously difficult to forecast.
In 2010, corporation tax raised just over £43bn in revenue for the government.
Since then it has been cut from 28% (interestingly, above the level announced today by Labour) to 19%.
One would suppose that would reduce the tax take for the government.
Not quite.
In 2016, corporation tax raised £49.7bn, an increase of £6.7bn.
That is due to a number of interrelated issues.
First, economic growth has returned, leading to higher profits for firms.
Higher profits mean higher levels of tax receipts.
Now, supporters of corporation tax cuts argue that the very act of reducing the rate increases firms' propensity to invest and increases confidence that Britain is a "business friendly" economy.
Reducing business taxes ultimately creates wealth, they argue.
Second, although George Osborne reduced the headline rate (some joke it is called that for a reason as cutting it produces some nice headlines), he also announced a series of other, more Delphic, measures that actually increased business taxes.
The amount of tax that can be offset against capital investment in new buildings and machinery (called capital allowances) has been reduced.
Taxes on foreign income has also been reformed and rules over the shifting of profits between different tax jurisdictions have been tightened under the "base erosion" changes agreed with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Alongside these changes, the government has also introduced the banking levy, an extra tax on the City which brought in £1.6bn in 2012 - a figure that rose to just under £3bn by 2016.
Many businesses would argue that, yes, the corporation tax cut is welcome but business taxes are already bringing in significantly more money.
And increasing the rate to 26% will simply reduce Britain's attractiveness to business investors and lose Britain vital places in the competitiveness league tables - given that the headline rate is low by G7 standards but other business taxes are relatively high.
Further, any change would come just at the time that Brexit has left a number of firms with their fingers hovering over the "relocate" button.
The new president of France, Emmanuel Macron, says he wants to see the French corporation tax rate cut to 25% from the present 33.3%.
As Mr Johnson said on the Today programme: "The risk is, that while this [Labour plan] would raise knocking on for £20bn in the short run, it is probably going to raise rather less than that in the long run as companies invest less and take other opportunities to reduce the amount of tax that they pay.
"So, the long run behavioural result of this tax would result in revenues being less than the immediate headline increase."
Corporation tax is what is known as "dynamic" - that is, changes to it result in rapid changes in behaviour as sophisticated firms manage their balance sheet in such a way as to minimise any effects and support profits and returns to shareholders (which of course, don't forget, include our pension funds).
This leads to substantial levels of forecast error.
In 2013, the OBR forecast that corporation tax receipts for 2016-17 would fall to £38.2bn.
In fact, receipts were 30% higher.
That suggests that Labour and the Liberal Democrats' plans could raise more than the forecast £20bn.
Or - given the possible economic effect on business investment - far less.
That is the problem with pledges on tax - they are predicated on a forecast about an uncertain future.
That does not mean that political parties should avoid making policy funding announcements based on best revenue estimates by official bodies.
But it does mean that voters should be aware - forecasts can be wrong. | It sounds like a simple equation. |
Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Bob Hill told the island's care inquiry key witnesses were not interviewed.
He said the review in 2008 failed to quiz a minister and police officers.
In 2010, Graham Power's suspension was described as unfair in the Napier Report and he said he had been exonerated.
Mr Hill - a former member of the Health and Social Services Committee - told the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry the Home Affairs Minister Wendy Kinnard responsible during the police investigation was not interviewed.
He added that London police officers, who wrote a report allegedly used to suspend Mr Power, were also not interviewed.
In November 2008, Mr Power, who was the chief of police, was suspended over his handling of Operation Rectangle - the historical child abuse investigation.
His performance became subject to a separate ??1m investigation by Wiltshire Police and Mr Power accused ministers of "a state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded personal vendetta".
He said politicians "interfered" with police investigations and "closed ranks" with civil servants.
Mr Power was suspended in 2010, but no charges were brought against him.
Mr Hill told the inquiry he was not aware of child abuse at Haut de La Garenne care home until the police investigation in 2008 was made public.
The inquiry is investigating child abuse in Jersey's care system since 1945 and is focusing on - but is not restricted to - Haut de la Garenne during the 1960s. | Important evidence was missed in a review into the suspension of a police chief who was accused of mishandling a historical abuse inquiry, a former Jersey politician has claimed. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | EU judges said communications data could only be retained if it was used to fight serious crime.
Its verdict came after a legal challenge to the UK government's surveillance legislation.
The challenge was initially championed by Brexit Secretary David Davis, who was then a backbench Conservative MP.
The Lib Dems said the ruling proved the government had "overstepped the mark" with its Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act, branded the "snoopers' charter" by critics, which requires communications companies to retain data for 12 months.
The ECJ has ruled that a "general and indiscriminate retention" of data is against EU law and can only be done under certain conditions and "solely for the purpose of fighting serious crime".
Its ruling confirms a preliminary verdict in July. The case now returns to the UK Court of Appeal, which had referred the case to the ECJ for clarification.
Mr Davis, who had long campaigned on civil liberties issues, left the case after Theresa May appointed him to her cabinet in July.
Tom Watson, Labour's deputy leader, who is one of those bringing the case, said: "This ruling shows it's counter-productive to rush new laws through Parliament without a proper scrutiny."
The Home Office said it would be putting forward "robust arguments" to the Court of Appeal.
It added: "Given the importance of communications data to preventing and detecting crime, we will ensure plans are in place so that the police and other public authorities can continue to acquire such data in a way that is consistent with EU law and our obligation to protect the public."
The government said it would not make any changes until the Court of Appeal had ruled on the legal challenge to the legislation.
The term 'communications data' refers to details such as the time and date of a phone call being made or an email being sent - but not its contents.
The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act expires at the end of December, and new legislation, the Investigatory Powers Act, is in place.
Campaign group Liberty, which represented Mr Watson, said: "Today's judgment upholds the rights of ordinary British people not to have their personal lives spied on without good reason or an independent warrant.
"The government must now make urgent changes to the Investigatory Powers Act to comply with this." | The UK government says it is "disappointed" after the European Court of Justice said the "indiscriminate" collection of data was against EU law. |

ARMY MENDING
During November garments dealt with numbered 263. Two new units are now sending their mending, but one of the previous ones had left the district. A mending class, to teach the men to mend for themselves is held in the Headquarters of one unit, and the men are becoming quite enthusiastic about keeping their garments in repair, and learning all the various ways to do so.
The archive, which has Unesco status, is ranked alongside other historical texts such as the Doomsday Book and the Death Warrant of King Charles I.
"It's often the quiet voices of history which are the most revealing," says historian Ruth Goodman.
"They can be easily overlooked amongst the clamour of parliamentary speeches, gunfire and official pronouncements, but the diaries and letters of a host of less celebrated lives speak of the true temperature of the times.
"It is these unassuming thoughts, feelings and reports which tell us what was really happening behind the rhetoric."

KNITTING
The amount of knitting for the Merchant Navy has increased. We have sent off two parcels; containing a total of 54 garments (sweaters, scarves and socks).
Very unfortunately one oAf the parcels, (a hessian sack packed full) appears to have suffered severe pilfering en route. A sack, which appears to be the one we sent, arrived 10 days later with only two scarves in it and nothing else.
We are making enquiries, and will have to claim against the Railway unless the things are found.
Early in the month, we received a request from the local Naval Comforts Committee, to utilise some redundant seaboot stockings by having them unpicked and re-knitted into polo-necked jerseys. The number to be dealt with was considerable, but knitters were quickly forthcoming. All the wool was distributed, and much has already been returned in its new guise.
The Hidden Histories of A Million Wartime Women project tells stories of "everyday heroism" from female volunteers from more than 2,000 cities, towns and villages across Britain.
By 1940, one in 10 women was a member of the WVS. "They held the country together working tirelessly on the Home Front, but now they have been forgotten," the modern-day RVS says.
"They modestly refused recognition in their own time and their voices, those of ordinary women from our shared past, have now fallen silent."
Matthew McMurray, archivist at the RVS, says he's spent six years sorting through "tens of thousands of pieces of fragile paper" to get to a point where the documents can be digitised.
"We want to be able to share these tales of everyday heroism and those million ordinary women who made the difference," he adds.

As a result of the GB team's achievement, the members were recognised in the New Year's honours list, and Macleod was made an MBE.
Mr Sale is best known for the mammoth project that resulted in the re-creation of the Colossus computer.
At Bletchley Park, the original Colossus cracked messages sent by Hitler's generals during World War II.
The award will recognise the project that has made a singular engineering achievement in restoration.
Overseen by the Computer Conservation Society (CCS) and backed by Google, the award will seek out those projects carried out in the same spirit that Tony Sale brought to his work, said David Hartley, recent past chairman of the CCS.
Dr Hartley said the idea for the award emerged soon after Mr Sale's unexpected death in August 2011.
"This has all been stimulated by Tony Sale," he said. "We hope it will be a fitting tribute to him."
Prior to embarking on the Colossus rebuild, Mr Sale worked at the Science Museum and, with Doron Swade, drove the recreation of other pioneering computers and helped found the CCS. He was also involved in the campaign to save Bletchley Park and was one of the founders of the National Museum of Computing.
To be considered for the award, a restoration project would have to demonstrate how it advanced understanding of how older machines were built and worked, said Kevin Murrell, secretary of the CCS.
"Computer history gets lost very quickly and it can be a very forensic job to piece all the information together," he said.
The design process and inner workings of relatively modern machines and game consoles were often not well known, he said.
"Tony Sale would expect to see good research and the understanding of the machine as well as a working replica built in either software or hardware," he said.
Potential candidates for the award are the restoration of the PDP 1 at the Computer History Museum or the recreation of Konrad Zuse's Z1.

Qamar Rafiq from Help and Hope project said: "I'm sure in our first phase we would be able to reach up to 80 victims who were admitted into hospital."
Mr Rafiq will spend three months in Pakistan to oversee the provision of medicine and counselling to survivors.
In December the Help and Hope project launched a £15,000 appeal and, so far, half of this sum has been raised - enough to get the relief work started.
Many of the people shot and killed in the Taliban attacks were children.
"The parents have also got gun horror - their children were in the school and the parents were at their homes," said Mr Rafiq.
"Hearing the news of their children [being killed], they have gone into a state of trauma. They need some need post-traumatic stress relief."
Over the past year, the Church has given aid and counselling to victims of the 2013 suicide bombing of All Saints Church, which is near the school.
Some of the survivors of the church bombing will assist the core team of six medics.
Mr Rafiq said: "We also have some friends who had serious injuries from All Saints Church; they have healed now and they are in possession of good health.
"They are going to help with the relief activities and the monitoring of victims who are in hospital."
Mr Rafiq, a Pakistani national from Twerton, Bath is leaving for Pakistan later on Sunday.

When the number of councils in Northern Ireland was reduced from 26 to 11, responsibilities such as planning were passed to them by the government.
Mr Givan has said regeneration will remain an executive function.
Alliance leader Naomi Long criticised his decision and said it should be a local government matter.
"The truth is that they do not want to give this power to local councils and to allow them to get on with their business," she said.
Analysis BBC News NI's Political Editor Mark Devenport
Under the shake up which reduced the number of councils from 26 to 11, the councils were due to get extra responsibility for regeneration.
However, that proposal was put on hold indefinitely in November 2015, when the former minister, Mervyn Storey, decided not to press ahead with his Regeneration Bill.
The current minister, Paul Givan, now says he will not bring forward proposals to extend his department's regeneration powers to councils during this assembly term.
Last week, enhanced powers over regeneration formed a central plank of Belfast City Council's proposed new City Growth Deal.
It's thought council leaders are likely to be disappointed by the minister's decision to keep the responsibility for regeneration schemes within his own department.
"This is another example of the executive wanting to meddle in what is best done at a local level.
"It completely flies in the face of the whole point of reorganising council structures to give councils more power."
Mr Givan said he wanted regeneration to remain with the executive for the time being.
"This was a power which had been discussed in the last mandate," he said.
"There were numerous attempts to bring forward legislation and there wasn't consensus to do that and I'm clear now in this new mandate that I don't want to be involved in tinkering around who gets what, where the budget should be divided, it's about getting things done." | It is hoped 80 Pakistan school massacre survivors will receive help in phase one of a Bath churches aid project.

A year of simmering tensions came to a head at both the Japanese and US Grands Prix, when Rosberg felt Hamilton had been too aggressive while passing him at the start of the races.
After his win in Texas, which secured him his third world title, Hamilton tossed Rosberg the cap he had to wear on the podium only for his team-mate to throw it straight back at him.

The footage, which is unverified, appears to show military officers rearranging the scene to make it seem as if a gun battle had taken place.
Soldiers are shown apparently placing weapons beside the dead bodies.
A pro-government news site has said that the 2016 video is a fabrication.
So far there has been no comment from the Egyptian military, which has previously released footage - apparently from the same incident late last year - saying it had eliminated a "dangerous terrorist cell" after a heavy exchange of gunfire.
Human rights group Amnesty International said it had analysed the footage. It showed "cold blooded killings", which it said should be urgently investigated by the Egyptian authorities.
The footage, which emerged on Thursday, was apparently filmed with a mobile phone and has been broadcast on Mekameleen TV, a station that supports the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
It appears to show two detainees being shot at point-blank range by Egyptian soldiers.
One man is already on the ground when he is shot four times. Later, a rifle has appeared by his side.
A younger man, who appears to be unarmed, is blindfolded and briefly interrogated before apparently being shot dead.
Egypt's army has, for years, been carrying out an offensive against Islamist militants in the northern Sinai peninsula, where an affiliate of so-called Islamic State (IS) is active.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Speaking ahead of the announcement, Nicola Sturgeon said the industry supports about 190,000 people.
She said the plan would reaffirm the government's commitment to growing and investing in the sector.
Industry and education institutions will be encouraged to work together.
The new centre will aim to stimulate innovation, improve productivity and increase investment in the Scottish manufacturing sector.
It is part of a wider programme promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in school.
There has been concern over the state of the manufacturing sector and there have been some high profile closures. One of the most recent is the proposal to shut Tata's steel plants in Motherwell and Cambuslang.
The Scottish government said the centre would focus on working with companies to assess the benefits of new technologies and equipment and supporting their implementation among small and medium sized manufacturing groups.
Ms Sturgeon confirmed the plans during a visit to Glenhead Engineering in Clydebank on Monday.
She said: "There should be no doubt about the importance of our manufacturing industry - which employs around 190,000 people in Scotland - to our future success.
"This plan will reaffirm our commitment to grow and invest in the sector and to ensure its long-term competitive future. We will outline ways to help businesses better access, exploit and keep pace with new technologies and opportunities, further support Scottish companies to achieve supply chain excellence, and promote innovation.
"These actions will enable the sector to improve productivity and business performance, providing a better long-term future and enabling it to compete internationally."
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, former chief economist for Lloyds Banking Group, Donald Macrae, said it was a welcome time for investment.
"Manufacturing had a fairly poor recession in comparison to, say services," he said.
"And in the latest quarter for which we have information, output from manufacturing actually fell in the quarter, and fell in the year. That is in contrast to what happened in services, so it is suffering."
Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said: "This is obviously a welcome step that has Scottish Labour's support.
"The best way to ensure a sustainable future for our manufacturing industry is to create a skilled work force through investment in education, but Nicola Sturgeon is also cutting hundreds of millions of pounds from education budgets.

The Exiles are two points clear of the relegation places with two games to go and could secure their survival if they win at Carlisle United on Saturday.
The club will hope to avoid relegation from the EFL after a four-season stint.
"For us financially as a club, it would have a big impact," Foxall told BBC Wales Today.
He continued: "As a revenue the club turnover is about £2m a year.
"In impact terms as we sit today we are looking at losing around 20% of that, about £400,000, direct money from the Premier League which comes from being in the Football League."
Having been nine points adrift of safety when Mike Flynn was appointed caretaker manager in March after Graham Westley parted company with the club, the Exiles will remarkably clinch survival if they win at Carlisle and rivals Hartlepool United lose against Cheltenham Town.
Newport were promoted from the Conference, and back into the EFL after a 25-year absence, when they beat Wrexham in the play-off final at Wembley in May 2013.
Foxall says he wants the club to avoid a return to non-league football after less than five years back in the EFL but has planned for the event of relegation.
"To lose that status again, in a relatively short space of time would be pretty devastating for the fans, but also for the city of Newport," Foxall added.
"As a board we are looking at ways we can plug that gap in the event we do have a negative output.
"Given the job Michael has done, we are hopeful that is not the case."

Can you summarize this content? | Almost 50 skeletons dating to the 7th and 11th centuries have already been uncovered during two previous digs at St Patrick's Chapel in Pembrokeshire.
Dyfed Archaeological Trust will carry out a final excavation of the site in the dunes at Whitesands Bay, St Davids, from 9 to 27 May.
It will also be offering free tours.
Many of the skeletons found were in 'cist' graves - long graves lined with stone slabs.
Child graves were also found, decorated with layers of quartz pebbles and limpet shells.
Ken Murphy, of Dyfed Archaeological Trust, said bone preservation in the first two digs had been very good.
He also said a stone cross was found standing at the end of one of the graves - the first time in Britain that an upright stone cross had been found in association with a long cist grave.
"Bone analysis by the University of Sheffield will provide information on the diet of the people who are buried at St Patrick's Chapel, and even on where they were born," he added.
"The results of the excavation will greatly advance our knowledge of the lives and the beliefs of the people who lived in Wales over 1,000 years ago."
The chapel, from where St Patrick is said to have set sail for Ireland in the 5th century AD, was a ruin over 400 years ago.
But its location has never been forgotten and graves with human remains have regularly been exposed by storms.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority placed boulders against the site of the chapel to halt erosion 12 years ago, but they were washed away in the winter storms of 2014, exposing more burials.
"So we then decided to excavate the parts of the site most vulnerable to erosion and the aim of these digs is to ensure no more archaeology will be at risk for the next 50 years," added Phil Bennett, the park authority's culture and heritage manager

There are lots of myths about what to do when a jellyfish stings you like urinating on it, but that could actually make things worse.
So what do doctors advise?
Jellyfish
There are about 200 different species of jellyfish. Most live for only a few weeks, but some are known to survive a year or longer.
Their bodies vary in size from about 2cm to 40cm wide but some species are a lot larger and can be up to 2 metres wide.
What to do if a jellyfish stings you?
Most jellyfish stings are mild and don't require treatment, or you can treat them yourself.
However, dial 999 if there are severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or if a large or sensitive area of the body like the face has been stung. In the worst cases jellyfish stings can kill.
Someone stung by a jellyfish should be treated out of the water and they should stay as still as possible because movement can make things worse.
Any remaining tentacles should be removed using tweezers or a clean stick. An ice pack on the affected area will help too.
Applying shaving cream to the affected area will help prevent the spread of toxins.
Use a credit card or shell to remove any small poisonous sacs that are stuck to the skin.
After a jellyfish sting, any pain and swelling can be treated with painkillers.
Take a look at Newsround's guide to nature's most painful stingers
What not to do?
Though lots of people talk about urinating as a treatment for a jellyfish sting it's unlikely to help and could even make things worse.
Vinegar is no longer recommended either and other substances like alcohol and baking soda should also be avoided.

What is the summary of the following document? | Sir Gerald Howarth made the comments during a debate on Northern Ireland.
He claimed Barra McGrory issued a notice to news desks advising them he would take "appropriate legal action" if they published any article that "alleges a lack of impartiality".
The PPS said it "would never seek to influence political debate".
Mr McGrory and the PPS had previously been criticised under parliamentary privilege by another Conservative MP, Sir Henry Bellingham over Troubles legacy cases.
Sir Gerald, a former defence minister, was directing his comments to Northern Ireland Secretary of State James Brokenshire.
The Conservative MP for Aldershot said he was making a "really firm plea" to Mr Brokenshire to "protect the interest of former British soldiers, currently being charged by the Sinn Féin supporting director of public prosecutions in Northern Ireland, with murder for events which took place over 40 years ago".
Sir Gerald added: "Is my right honourable friend aware that it appears that the director of public prosecutions issued a notice to news desks, not for publication.
"(It allegedly says) 'We would advise that if you should publish an article which alleges a lack of impartiality on the part of the director or any other prosecutor that the appropriate legal action would be taken, and we will make use of this correspondence in that regard and in relation to a claim for aggravated and exemplary damages'.
"Is this not an attempt to muzzle parliament and indeed to question the right of this house to support those soldiers who sought to bring about peace in Northern Ireland?"
Mr Brokenshire said that he had "some concerns about imbalance within the system" but he would "not comment on any individual decision".
Responding to Sir Gerald's claims, a PPS spokesperson said: "The Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland is wholly independent of all political parties and the political system.
"As such, we would never seek to influence political debate on any subject in any way.
"Equally, we must take all appropriate steps to ensure that our decision-making processes are protected from political influence from any source.
"This is necessary both to safeguard the integrity of prosecutorial decision making within the wider criminal justice system and to ensure that PPS staff are able to carry out difficult but important functions strictly in accordance with applicable law and the code for prosecutors.
"We are aware of Mr Howarth's political viewpoint in relation to the prosecution of cases involving soldiers, which is not enshrined in law in the UK.
"The Public Prosecution Service only applies the law as it currently stands in Northern Ireland and does so without fear, favour or prejudice."

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Following release of the US government's latest estimate, the Deepwater Horizon disaster is confirmed as the biggest ever accidental release of oil into the oceans.
It exceeds the 1979 Ixtoc I leak - also in the Gulf of Mexico. It's comfortably bigger than tanker releases such as the Torrey Canyon and Amoco Cadiz, and 20 times the size of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill with which it is often compared.
Now that BP finally appears to have the flow under control, an important question - perhaps the most important of all - is being asked: it may have been the biggest, but was it the worst?
It is a simple-sounding question, but devilishly hard to answer.
What impacts are we talking about - on the coast, on the ocean surface, or the sea floor?
Which species are we including - fish, shrimp, insects, plants, birds, whales, turtles - or some combination of them all?
Are we looking long-term or short-term, local or regional - and are we to include or exclude impacts from the use of chemical dispersants and fires and the other containment measures?
One thing that is clear is that different parts of the Gulf coast have seen very different levels of impact.
Two weeks ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) announced that so little oil was being seen in a zone covering more than 26,000 square miles (67,000 sq km) - a quarter of US territorial waters in the Gulf - that fishing could safely re-start.
Yet in other areas, particularly along the coast, people are struggling daily to nurse oil-soaked birds back to health.
Many commentators were saying during the early days of the episode that the ecological impacts would depend largely on the vagaries of winds and tides; and so it has proven.
Noaa has said that about three-quarters of the 4.9 million barrels leaked into the Gulf waters has already vanished from the area - through evaporation, capture, burning, or dispersion.
But that still leaves more than a million barrels at sea.
As a formerly significant US figure said in the context of a different Gulf: there are known unknowns, and unknown unknowns.
Andy Nyman, an associate professor of Wetland Wildlife Ecology at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, has spent years conducting laboratory and field research into the possible impacts of oil spills on the coastal wetlands that are so vital as nurseries for fish and shrimp, nesting grounds for birds and as coastal defences.
"It's going to be difficult to pick up the impacts of the oil spill and separate those from natural seasonal variability," he says.
"Impacts we'll be looking for in the short term include the loss of wetland grasses and reductions in fish and other things that live in the water.
"In the longer term we could see reduced productivity in these populations, but we may not be able to detect it because the annual variations are quite large."
He relates taking two trips along the coastal fringe in recent weeks.
In one zone, they could see virtually no impact on the grasses. In the other, a stretch of coast about 10km (six miles) long showed significant damage, with swathes of grass brown and shedding leaves.
Yet on many plants, new green stems were sprouting - just as happened on the grasses in Professor Nyman's experimental plot after he had coated them in oil to see how they would perform.
How the grasslands will fare in the long term is definitely a known unknown.
Time's lens will also reveal the impact on fish and shrimp, so vital to the local economy.
But again, the stock varies naturally from season to season; so picking out a specific impact of the oil leak could prove difficult.
Out in the Gulf itself, the impact on bluefin tuna is potentially significant. The spawning grounds have been covered in oil at times, and there are fears that an entire year's brood may be missing.
But that will not become clear for several years. Estimating the marine impacts will also be complicated by the fact that closing the fisheries has given stocks a respite from nets and hooks.
So how much do we know?
Several hundred thousand seabirds died from the Exxon Valdez spill - possibly as many as 600,000, according to some estimates.
By contrast, the number of birds found dead along the Gulf of Mexico coast is a little over 3,000.
Just over 500 sea turtles and 64 dolphins have also been found dead.
But that is partly a function of the leak's geography; turtles would not have been affected by the Exxon Valdez simply because they do not frequent the coasts of Alaska.
Conversely, the Exxon Valdez claimed the lives of several thousand sea otters - which do not live along the Gulf coast.
An important unknown - about which very little is known - is the importance of flows of oil deep underwater that were detected a couple of months ago and that almost certainly have dispersants mixed in.
The use of these chemicals is controversial. They keep the oil away from shore - but the cost is paid in clogged wads of crude that sink to the sea floor.
Paul Anastas, assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and Development, acknowleged that dispersants were far from perfect, but said their use here had been, on balance, positive.
"The purpose of the dispersants is to put the oil in a form that can be broken down and degraded by natural microbes," he said.
"Once it makes to it to shore it is causing an impact on our most sensitve ecosystem that is extremely difficult to clean up and has an extreme negative impact on the ecosystem of the Gulf."
The EPA has just finished a batch of tests showing that dispersants mixed with oil are no more toxic to marine life in the Gulf than oil on its own - contradicting the claims of some critics.
The Deepwater Horizon operation saw the injection of 771,272 gallons (2,919,582 litres) of dispersant at depth, in addition to the 1,072,514 gallons (4,059,907 litres) used on the surface.
The impact of the deep water deployment is definitely an unknown unknown, as it has not been used on anything like this scale before.
Expeditions are planned to investigate the impact on reefs, but they have yet to report.
Other important investigations are going on into how quickly the oil is breaking down in the warm Gulf waters - something that should in principle happen much faster than in the icy conditions of Alaska's Prince Edward Sound, or the Cornish seas where the Torrey Canyon spilt its cargo in March 1967.
That rate will have practical implications for the seabirds that will come to winter along the Gulf coasts - the piping plover, the blue-winged teal and the northern pintail - because it will largely determine how much oil will be there to greet them.
Two decades on, the ecological impacts of Exxon Valdez are still being counted.
And while the warmer Gulf waters are unlikely to take quite so long to settle, even a preliminary reckoning will have to wait until the first wintering birds have returned, shrimping boats have cast their nets again right across their grounds, and the wetland grasses have had a first chance to shed their oily carapaces and sprout anew in a fresh Spring.

Summarize the passage below. | State department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the US had a commitment to "do everything" to bring troops home.
Sgt Bergdahl says his five years in captivity - after walking off base - were in "constant isolation" with all four limbs chained for long periods.
A hearing will determine whether he will face a court-martial.
He could then be sentenced to life in prison if found guilty.
The US Army announced on Wednesday Sgt Bergdahl had been charged with one count of desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty and one count of misbehaviour before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place after an investigation into his disappearance.
Sgt Bergdahl was handed over to a team of US special forces last May.
In exchange for his release, five senior Taliban commanders held at Guantanamo Bay were transferred to the custody of the Gulf state of Qatar, which brokered the deal.
His release enraged Republicans and some Democrats, who said that the prisoner swap could ultimately put American lives at risk.
Top Congressional Republicans argued the deal violated US law and amounted to negotiating with terrorists - accusations denied by the Obama administration. They also objected to the fact Congress was not given notice of the deal.
Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Ms Psaki defended the swap.
"We have a commitment to our men and women serving in our military... that we are going to do everything to bring them home," she said.
Sgt Bergdahl could spend up to five years in prison if convicted on the desertion charge. A conviction on the misbehaviour charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
In a statement made through his lawyer, Sgt Bergdahl detailed the conditions of his captivity, saying he had been chained by all four limbs for months at a time, his captors only temporarily releasing one hand so he could sit up.
"Because of the constant heat and sweat my body where it was in contact with the bed would become sore and raw, burning from the sweat and pressure," he wrote.
Sgt Bergdahl said he was "kept in constant isolation during the entire five years, with little to no understanding of time", developed open wounds that would not heal from his shackles and was eventually kept in cage without chains.
The US soldier said he had attempted to escape 12 times over five years - and was beaten after being temporarily successful twice.
The woman, in her 20s, suffered head injuries following the fall from the 11ft (3.3m) sculpture.
The London Air Ambulance was called on Saturday evening and she was treated for 30 minutes before being taken to hospital.
Her injuries are no longer life-threatening and police are not treating the incident as suspicious.
In past years, the Greater London Authority has called for people to be banned from climbing on the lion statues, to protect them from being damaged.
It said tourists had damaged the 148-year-old lions and this damage would worsen without intervention.
But English Heritage is against a ban and said it would prove "deeply unpopular".

The attacks, which left 39 foreign nationals and Saudis dead, were part of a campaign by an al-Qaeda offshoot that aimed to destabilise the Gulf kingdom.
The authorities subsequently launched a three-year crackdown on the jihadist group, imprisoning thousands of people.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Liberian Football Association President Musa Bility has thrown his hat into the ring, displaying his usual ease with standing up for what he believes in.
His reasons for running for the top job are largely driven by his desire that Africa should take its place in the global football conversation.
"If Africa does not put up a candidate, it says a lot about us," he told BBC Sport. "It shows a sense of mediocrity and that our only relevance is to vote and make leaders. I think that is not right."
Africa's 54 Fifa members makes it the world's largest voting bloc, but there are concerns that Europe is trying to change the way decisions are made, which could dilute Africa's power.
Earlier this month, Germany's FA president Wolfgang Niersbach - who took a seat on the Fifa executive committee last month - said he wants to see changes to the current one country, one vote system.
Mr Niersbach wants "a certain amount of weighted voting based on the size and relevance of the sporting associations", meaning that more powerful countries such as Germany would end up with more influence than smaller nations such as Lesotho, Swaziland or Guam.
This has caused consternation within African football.
The continent has long been aware of the pivotal role that it holds in the global game by virtue of its voting size, and it does not want to let it go.
Fifa members per region
Mr Bility wants to smooth things over and says that with "antagonism very high" the world "needs a unifier".
He wants to listen to the "genuine concerns" of the European nations about things like corruption without ceding control to them.
On another issue, Mr Bility thinks the poorer nations are still not getting enough from the much-lauded Goal Project, which awards member associations $250,000 (£157,000) every year, and the Financial Assistance Programme (FAP) which gives out one-off payments of $400,000.
"I want to redefine our partnerships to see how those partnerships will directly benefit member associations. Africa and Asia particularly have been left behind. The Goal Project and the FAP are not enough."
Such a stated aim may well attract interest from Asia and Africa but it is not clear if it will be enough to get him the Fifa presidency.
It is admittedly a long shot but in Mr Bility's mind it is an effort worth taking for the continent's reputation. | The wait to see who will be the first African to announce that they want to become the next president of football's world governing body Fifa is over. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Caffe Nero said it would stop using milk from farms in Somerset and Gloucestershire that were part of a pilot tackling badger numbers.
Their move follows action against the coffee shop chain on Facebook by anti-cull protesters.
A spokesman for the Stop the Cull group denied any threats being made.
The cull, in Gloucestershire and Somerset, was part of a government pilot aimed at killing 70% of the badgers to test how effective, humane and safe a cull could be.
Ministers believe killing badgers will curb TB in cattle, but opponents argue shooting is not the best way to eradicate the disease.
A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "It is wholly unacceptable for a small group of protestors to intimidate and threaten retailers in this way.
"Our strategy for tackling bovine TB is based on advice from the Chief Veterinary Officer about the best way to control this harmful disease which threatens the future of our dairy and beef industries.
"We will continue to work closely with the dairy industry and retailers to offer them all the support we can."
Jay Tiernan, from Stop the Cull, denied there had been any threats against the cafes but said the chain had stopped selling the milk over animal rights issues.
He said it was "most likely" because of the "British Veterinary Association now speaking out [about] the method with which the badgers are shot".
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called for a safety review of such products.
It proposed a rule requiring manufacturers to prove such soaps are safe and more effective against infection than plain soap and water.
Recent studies indicate an ingredient in such products could scramble hormone levels and boost drug-proof bacteria.
The proposal rule does not apply to alcohol-based hand sanitizers and products used in healthcare settings.
Manufacturers have until the end of 2014 to submit the results of clinical trials on their products, the FDA said. The new regulations would be finalised in 2016.
"New data suggest that the risks associated with long-term, daily use of antibacterial soaps may outweigh the benefits," Colleen Rogers, an FDA microbiologist, wrote in a statement on Monday.
Certain ingredients in such products - such as triclosan in liquid soaps and triclocarban in bar soaps - may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, the agency added.
Such products may also have "unanticipated hormonal effects that are of concern", according to the statement.
Recent studies of such chemicals on animals have shown they may alter hormones, the FDA said, but such results have not yet been proven in humans.
"Because so many consumers use them, FDA believes that there should be clearly demonstrated benefits to balance any potential risks," the statement added.
If the FDA's proposed rule is finalised, companies would be required to provide data to support their product's health claims.
If they cannot, the products would be reformulated or relabelled in order to remain on the market.
In March, a federal appeals court approved a lawsuit by the non-profit Natural Resources Defense Council, aimed at forcing the FDA to review the health impacts of triclosan. | Threats to a coffee shop chain for using cows milk from farms in the badger cull zone is unacceptable, the government has said.

Minister Andrew Picton said sending it to Germany was a "remarkable symbol" of "Christian reconciliation" 100 years after the two countries were at war.
The "rarely used" organ was sold as the church is being redeveloped.
Avenue Baptist Church congregation raised money to fund the organ between 1919 to 1921 in memory of the 15 men from the church who died during World War One.
It was made by organ manufacturers Henry Speechley and installed in 1921.
However, the 120-year-old church is now being redeveloped "to make it more appropriate for 21st Century worship" and it was decided to sell the instrument.
Rick Owen, from the church, said it was initially advised it would be hard to find a buyer and it was feared the organ would be scrapped.
"Someone in Norfolk expressed an interest, but it fell through," he said. "Then a colleague posted its details on websites specialising in church organs - and within a week a German church got in touch."

Please summarize the following text. | The 95 Tory MPs want each state to be able to impose a "red card" if rules hurt the national interest.
The foreign secretary said this was impractical, as "common rules" had to be followed by all 28 EU members.
But he said national parliaments needed to have a "bigger role".
The Conservative leadership has promised that, if the party wins a majority at the next general election, voters will get an "in-out" referendum on EU membership before the end of 2017. This would follow a renegotiation of the UK's relationship with Brussels.
The commitment follows concerns over the direction the EU is taking - with eurozone countries becoming further integrated - and the effects of free movement of people across member countries.
Meanwhile, the pro-European cabinet minister Ken Clarke has told the Financial Times that immigrants make the UK "far more exciting and healthier", dismissing claims that EU membership has caused "vast migrations" of foreigners.
The minister without portfolio also criticised "rightwing, nationalist escapism", which he said was informing debate on the issue.
The idea of a red card for of the EU's 28 national parliaments, proposed by the 95 MPs, was first put forward by the Commons European Scrutiny Committee last month.
In the letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, the MPs said the move would enable the government to "recover control over our borders, to lift EU burdens on business, to regain control over energy policy and to disapply the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights".
Mr Hague told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We do want to have a much bigger role for national parliaments. It's common ground in the Conservative Party and in the country that the powers of the European Union have increased too much, are too great and need to be diminished."
He added that a red-card system would "be part of the British position", but this would rely on groups of countries getting together to act - rather than individual member states having a veto.
Mr Hague said: "What you can't have in any system that relies on some common rules is each of the parliaments saying 'We are not going to abide by this or that arrangement'."
The foreign secretary, regarded as a Eurosceptic, also told Today: "I've never changed my view, which I characterise as in Europe but not run by Europe."
He said: "We are engaged in a negotiation process now... we are putting the case for a reformed Europe."
Asked about Mr Clarke's comments on immigration, Mr Hague said of people within the EU: "They should be able to move for work but not to take advantage of benefits systems."
Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, who also served as the EU's competition commissioner, told Today he agreed with Mr Hague, adding that "a country like the UK in practice relies heavily on a functioning single market across Europe".
He said: "If all parliaments and all member states were to be able to tear through small bits or big bits of the single-market legislation, then this would be a patchwork, not a market.
"One of the countries that would suffer most would be the UK."
A survey has suggested that more people think Britain should stay in the EU but try to reduce its powers (38%) than want to leave (28%).
The poll of more than 2,000 people for think tank British Future also found that people thought migrants who came to the UK from other European countries should learn English (69%), get a job and pay taxes (64%) and not claim benefits (48%). | William Hague has insisted the Conservative leadership is "putting the case for a reformed Europe", despite rejecting a call by MPs for national parliaments to get a veto over EU laws. |

The closure will save North Wales Police £300,000 a year.
"We are left with no alternative particularly when it comes to the safety of detainees and staff," said Chief Constable Mark Polin.
It was found cells at the station were under used, averaging one detainee a day with half of those being held for six hours or less.
As a result, the cost per prisoner in Dolgellau was more than twice that of the other police cells in north Wales.
The price per prisoner in Caernarfon is £261, the cost in St Asaph is £265 and the equivalent figure for Wrexham is £242.
The custody facilities in Dolgellau were also judged not compliant with authorised police practice, with detainees and staff working there at risk.
Mr Polin added: "The decision to close Dolgellau Custody Unit is an operational one and it has been taken following a period of detailed discussion.
"On average only one prisoner a day is detained in Dolgellau custody making any consideration of rebuilding or modernising financially none viable.
"Savings made from closure will be reinvested into additional officers for south Gwynedd as I am committed in ensuring the area remains one of the safest places in the UK."

Devotees perform singing and dancing and pray to saints who are honoured with numerous shrines.
Their beliefs are considered un-Islamic by hardliners, who have targeted their shrines several times.
Last October, a suicide bombing at a shrine in Punjab province left six people dead.
And earlier in the year a suicide attack on a Lahore shrine killed at least 42 people, making it the most deadly such attack on record.
For decades, the government has also sought to suppress Sufism, and has put it under strict control. | Suicide attackers have killed at least 41 people and wounded many more at a shrine in Pakistan, police say. |
Can you summarize the following information? | Derbyshire chairman Chris Grant said the findings came from market research conducted by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) into the game's popularity.
"More kids these days can recognise a WWE wrestler than the England captain," Grant told BBC Radio Derby.
"Only a third could recognise Alastair and I think we've got to improve that."
He added: "That was a fascinating statistic they gave us."
English cricket is poised to get a new eight-team Twenty20 competition, which, if approved, could start as early as 2018, in an attempt to boost the profile of the sport.
The tournament would run alongside the existing 18-team T20 Blast and would be held at city-based Test grounds, but Grant is unfazed by the potential impact on one of English cricket's smallest counties.
"I think a lot of the negativity surrounds the fact that people feel that this will be the death of Derbyshire County Cricket Club," he said.
"I really don't see it that way. I think actually it could lead to 18 counties becoming stronger, a lot stronger and certainly more financially sustainable.
"The devil will be in the detail, there's a lot of work at the ECB still to be done. We don't know where these teams will be based, we don't know what they'll be called.
"In principle I think it's the right way to go and gives Derbyshire the best chance of preserving their first-class status long-term."
Encouraging people to play and watch cricket should be a priority for those involved in taking the game into a new era, according to Grant.
"The game has got some real challenges, participation is falling really dramatically and we've got to unlock a new audience," he continued.
"At the moment there are 990,000 people in this country who have attended a game in the recent past, but there are 9.4m people who describe themselves as a cricket follower.
"We're not really unlocking that extra 8.5m, and I think we've got to come up with something fresh and new to actually get them involved and get them to come and attend a game." | WWE wrestlers are more recognisable than England Test captain Alastair Cook, according to new research. |
Summarize the content provided below. | Forces loyal to Gen Khalifa Haftar have seized at least three terminals from a rival militia force allied to the UN-backed government in Tripoli.
Gen Haftar is allied to a rival government based in the east.
The oil company says it is assessing damage and that it will carry out repairs immediately.
The Tripoli government has called for urgent talks over the seizure.
Libya has been plagued by instability and infighting since the toppling of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
The seized oil ports at Ras Lanuf, al-Sidra and Zuitina lie between Tripoli and Tobruk, where the country's two rival governments are based.
Gen Haftar is one of the most powerful military figures in Libya, who refuses to recognise the authority of the UN-backed Government of National Accord in the capital.
The speaker of the Tobruk parliament, Agila Saleh, said Gen Haftar had "liberated" the oil terminals from occupying forces.
Libya's conflict has dramatically reduced the country's lucrative oil exports.
In a statement, the National Oil Corporation said it currently produced 200,000 barrels a day, but now expected to produce almost four times as much by the end of the year.
The US, UK and several European countries issued a statement condemning the seizure of the oil terminals, calling on Gen Haftar to withdraw his forces.
The news comes on the same day as a committee of British MPs released a report criticising Britain's intervention in Libya in 2011.
Since then, Libya has been largely controlled by thousands of local militias, loyal to one of three governing bodies - the UN-backed national government, the Tobruk parliament, or the Islamist parliament in Tripoli - as well as the encroaching so-called Islamic State group. | The Libyan National Oil Corporation has said it will resume exports from contested oil terminals in the east of the strife-hit country. |
Can you write a short summary of this section? | Police received a report at about 12:35 GMT that the teenager was attacked in Old Market Street, near to St Peter's CofE Church in Blackley.
The area has been cordoned off and officers are conducting an investigation of the scene. No arrests have yet been made.
A police spokesperson said: "The girl is receiving support from specially trained officers."
Zach Kibirige, of Premiership team Newcastle Falcons, denies subjecting the woman to a series of sexual offences at her home, in November.
But, Mr Kibirige told Newcastle Crown Court that nothing happened that was "against the woman's will".
Earlier, the woman said the player, 21, gripped her throat before raping her.
Mr Kibirige denies four counts of rape, attempted rape, sexual assault and another serious sexual assault over a period of about an hour.
Beginning the case for the defence his barrister, Nicholas Lumley QC, asked the player: "Did you rape [the complainant]?"
The 5ft 10ins tall defendant, who has also played for England Under-17s and Under 20s, replied from the witness box: "Absolutely not."
Mr Lumley then asked: "Did you do anything with her against her will?"
Mr Kibirige replied: "No, I did not."
Mr Lumley asked: "Did you go round to her flat to rape her?"
Mr Kibirige, who was born in Middlesbrough and brought up in Yarm, Teesside, replied: "No."
He told the court he had never been sent off, had no previous convictions, cautions or police reprimands.
In November, he was not playing for the Falcons as he was still recovering from an ankle injury, the court heard.
Mr Lumley asked Mr Kibirige: "Do you respect women?" He replied: "Absolutely."
He said he met the complainant at her home for the first time after they swapped WhatsApp messages, having initially matched on Tinder.
He said he was sober on the night he went to her home and claimed they started to watch a film in her bedroom.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | They form the centrepiece of a display on mammoths at the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester.
Their tusks could grow to 5m (16ft) but only 1.5m (5ft) sections are on show.
At the time the animal died the North Sea did not exist and the area was low-lying grassland connecting the British Isles to the continent.
When the North Sea formed at the end of the last ice age, the tusks became buried in the thin layers of sand at the bottom of the shallow southern part of it.
They remained there for thousands of years and eventually tidal currents and dredging released the fossilised remains, which were caught in the fishing nets of a trawler earlier this year.
Tim Batty, curator of the Dinosaur Museum, said the tusks were unusually coloured because they had been in water for so long.
He said: "The new display comes at a time when new research has revealed that humans were not responsible for the extinction of the mammoths.
"It had traditionally been thought that mammoths had been hunted to extinction.
"However it now appears that it was climate change that caused their extinction.
"Mammoths were well adapted to the low temperatures of the ice age.
"The climatic conditions during the ice age did not favour the growth of trees and consequently there were extensive grasslands for the mammoths to graze on.
"However with the end of the ice age and the warming of temperatures, tree growth accelerated causing a spread of forests and dramatically reducing the available food supply for mammoths."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and Unite are planning to walk out at 18:30 BST.
ASLEF drivers will strike from 21:30.
LU and the unions had been trying to reach a deal over the introduction of the new night Tube service.
It is unclear if talks will resume later. LU said it will be available for talks at ACAS but the unions have yet to decide whether they will attend or not.
On Monday LU made an increased but "final" pay offer in a bid to avert the action, including a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the night Tube.
The service is due to start at weekends from mid-September.
Finn Brennan, a senior negotiator for Aslef, said unions were not given enough time to consider the proposals.
"This is playground negotiating. Having made no offer for three months they give four unions one afternoon to consider a new offer," he said.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT made it clear yesterday that we are prepared to continue the talks process in line with the normal industrial relations procedure.
"That of course means that the detailed offer submitted by LU yesterday must remain on the table as a key part of the talks framework, and the union issues on a coherent package that addresses work/life balance, equality and safety have to be on the agenda as well."
The TSSA union also rejected the offer and general secretary Manuel Cortes said: "This dispute is not just about pay but about how to run a safe and secure night Tube which serves the passengers as well as rewarding the staff."
LU chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said in a message to staff on Monday that a "full and final" offer had been made in an attempt to conclude five months of talks.
Mr Griffiths said he had set the deadline so if industrial action was called off LU could plan to provide the "best possible service" to customers.
He added: "We are not asking staff to work unlimited nights and weekends. Most of you will not be affected at all by night Tube when it's launched in September."
LU's latest offer included an average 2% increase on basic pay, RPI inflation or 1%, whichever is greater, in 2016 and 2017, a £500 non-consolidated "launch bonus" to all staff on night Tube lines or at stations serving these lines.
Transport bosses also offered a £2,000 "transition bonus" for drivers working on the overnight services.
Previously a 0.75% pay increase with an additional payment of £250 for drivers was offered.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | She voiced an animated version of herself for a promotional video launching the BBC's 500 words contest - thought to be a royal first.
The competition, in its sixth year, challenges under-13s to write a story about any fictional topic in 500 words.
A record 120,421 entries were received last year.
The final will be broadcast live from Shakespeare's Globe in London, with every child who pens an entry being placed in a ballot to attend the show, alongside the finalists.
The duchess joins children's authors Malorie Blackman, Charlie Higson, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Francesca Simon on the judging panel.
Evans said: "Myself and the 500 words team at BBC Radio 2 are hugely proud and honoured to welcome the Duchess of Cornwall as an honorary judge for the competition.
"Does this mean Radio 2 is now 'by royal appointment'? How exciting! And with this final taking place in the amazing surroundings of Shakespeare's Globe, this will be a truly special year for the competition."
In the animated clip, Camilla is seen standing on a balcony at the Globe, before asking: "So, what story are you going to write?".
Evans said: "It's fantastic fun seeing myself in cartoon form and I'm in the most gracious company imaginable, as none other than the Duchess of Cornwall agreed to be animated too - for the first time ever!"
The finalists will take part in a live broadcast of BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show on 27 May. It is being held at the Globe as part of the BBC's celebration of Shakespeare, with 2016 marking 400 years since his death.
The winning entries will be read out by famous narrators, with last year's readers including Sir Kenneth Branagh and Jeremy Irons.
Sofia Zambuto won the gold award in the five to nine years category last year with Fight For Life, with Amabel Smith winning the 10 to 13 years category for It's A Wide World .

Write a brief summary of the document. | The front page news on the first day of The Scotsman in 1817 was that Edinburgh now had a paper of principle.
The newspaper was first published on 25 January that year with a declaration of its intent not to be subservient to the establishment.
"It announced itself an insurgent newspaper," says Dr Alex Benchimol of Glasgow University.
"Its claims of firmness, independence, impartiality are, in a way, intended to highlight how the other newspapers at the time were not like that.
"If you go back and you read through the first 10 or 15 years of The Scotsman, it is a very idealistic, crusading newspaper."
One of the founders of the Scotsman, Charles MacLaren, took this to extreme lengths in 1829 when he challenged the editor of the Caledonian Mercury to a duel because he felt he had impugned the honour of his paper.
The two exchanged shots, missed, refused to shake hands and parted without apology.
Somewhere over the next century, as the paper's circulation grew and it laid claim to the title "Scotland's national newspaper", its crusading spirit was replaced with a desire to become a paper of record.
Whenever there was a committee meeting, a public speech or a civic soiree it would be entered into the Scotsman's desk diary and covered whether it was newsworthy or not.
Andrew Marr, who worked as Scotsman reporter and parliamentary correspondent from 1981 to 1988, told the BBC documentary Paper Thistle: 200 years old The Scotsman: "Any Scottish MP who spoke in the House of Commons would expect a paragraph or two in the Scotsman the next day or would want to know why not."
He also told the programme about the incredible culture of drinking by the paper's journalists in 1980s.
As well as being traditional, conservative and establishment, the paper was "male-dominated".
The place of women within the set up was marked by the women's page, first launched in 1925, called Woman To Date.
Over the years there were various pages for the "ladies" but precious few women in the building to write them.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s male editors expected the women's page to be recipes, fashion and domestic delight.
By the 1970s female hacks had managed to escape from the women's page and were in the front line of Scotsman reporting.
Julie Davidson remembers being the only woman at press conference given by Conservative party leader Margaret Thatcher.
She says: "I put up my hand and asked her about the current movement for women's rights.
"She said 'I hate the expression women's lib', which I'd never used.
"She went on to denounce women's lib because it made women who stayed at home to bring up children feel inferior. Then she kind of cut me short, saying 'enough of that we'll bore the men'."
By the 1990s the Scotsman realised it was having trouble attracting Scotswomen and radical thinking was required.
Lesley Riddoch, assistant editor from 1994 to 1999, said: "The guys upstairs were noticing that women were peeling away from The Scotsman.
"They concluded they needed to do something but they didn't know what it was.
"Sitting on an editorial board of 13 people, of which I was the only woman, it seemed kind of obvious to me.
"So finally one day I cleared my throat and said 'what about this idea'."
Her idea was that the Scotsman would have a sex change for international woman's day and become the Scotswoman.
She says: "To my astonishment, at least half the guys on the board totally agreed with it, straight off."
"The idea of it was to say whoever edits a paper largely dictates its agenda, its outlook, the stories it selects. All these things."
It was published on 8 March 1995. All the editorial decisions were taken by women. The splash focused on equality, it had a tokenistic men's page and the Scotswoman made headlines all over the world.
Lesley Riddoch says: "I got phone calls with each time zone that woke up so I stayed up all night. There was a bit of a feeling of triumph."
It was the highest selling edition of that decade, however, the elation did not last.
Riddoch says: "I appeared in the normal Scotsman morning meeting the next day and I remember the editor of the day turned to me and said 'well yesterday was alright, Henry do you want to go through the sport'."

What is the summary of the following document? | The NUJ wants assurances from Trinity Mirror, which runs Wales Online and the Daily Post, that it is not dumbing down into "celebrity-focused 'click bait".
The Connected Newsroom strategy will include the targets from January.
The group said concerns were unfounded and the focus is on content that audiences want to read.
Martin Shipton, chairman of the NUJ's Trinity Mirror group chapel, said the announcement was made along with the net loss of three editorial jobs in its Cardiff newsroom.
"The group's strategy for audience growth is based on greatly increasing website clicks - yet reducing the number of writers will make that more difficult to achieve," he said.
"We are extremely concerned by the potential implications of setting individual click targets for journalists.
"At its worst, this could encourage reporters to sensationalise stories, to trivialise the news and make news out of trivia, and to give up on more challenging, public interest journalism that takes time to research and deliver."
Trinity Mirror said the concerns were entirely unfounded and said important stories would still attract readers.
"The ambition is to grow our local and engaged audience by sharpening our focus on providing content that is relevant to our audiences through the channels that suit them," said Neil Benson, editorial director.
David Higgerson, responsible for Trinity Mirror's regional websites, has written how the changes are not about chasing clickbait but about understanding what readers want - and this did not sound the death knell for investigative reporting.
"Data tells us that people value both the journalism which takes time and effort, and the stories which are quicker to produce too," he said.
While clickbait generally refers to the more provocative, sensationalised stories, the competitive online news market means all providers must attract an audience.
The principles behind clickbait aren't new. Since the infancy of print journalism, tempting headlines have enticed readers to buy papers, or more recently to click.
For commercial news organisations that still rely largely on advertising revenue, it's hardly surprising that journalists are expected to do all they can to attract an audience for their work.
But it's the suggestion that reporters' performance will be measured by the impact of their story that's got politicians worried.
Not every headline from the Senedd has the power to pull a crowd, and after previous warnings about the plurality of Welsh news sources, there's concern that journalists monitoring their clicks will focus only on the most populist stories, and allow the "democratic deficit" to deepen.
The publishers couldn't be clearer - falling newspaper sales means their futures depend on digital growth. It's not unreasonable to expect journalists to write compelling copy, they argue, or for online headlines to be snappy and enticing.
While editors may be counting clicks, the politicians will be monitoring articles to see if the less sensational Senedd stories are still published online under the new regime.
But Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies AM said the plans could have "disastrous consequences for Welsh journalism and in particular coverage of Welsh political institutions".
Liberal Democrat culture spokesman Peter Black AM has written to Trinity Mirror's chief executive expressing concern.
"A story about someone spotting a Kim Kardashian look-alike in Gorseinon could well get more clicks than an article about underinvestment in Wrexham's mental health services, but without more stories like the latter there will be fewer opportunities to drive forward improvements to public services," he said.
Plaid Cymru also fears a "race for website clicks".
Dr John Jewell of Cardiff University's school of journalism, media and cultural studies, said newspapers had always been businesses which needed advertising and answered to shareholders.
But even with a changing media landscape it was still possible for serious news to co-exist with trivia.
"It's not necessarily a race to the bottom," he said.
"If you look at BuzzFeed for example - we know it for listicles but behind that there has been real investment in serious journalism, foreign news and sending reporters out to war zones." | Individual website "click" targets for reporters at Wales' main media group could encourage them to sensationalise the news, a union has warned. |

Summarize the provided information. | Tata Steel announced on Tuesday it was shedding 900 jobs at its North Lincoln Road site.
The company has pledged £3m to help create jobs in the town and another £6m will be provided by the government.
Statutory redundancy costs are not included in the package and would fall to the firm to fund.
The Community union, which represents the majority of those affected, said the plans were "putting the cart before the horse."
"Although any support for steel communities is to be welcomed, there is still a consultation process to go through and no worker will be redundant until that is completed," said general secretary Roy Rickhuss.
"Community is focused on looking at the rationale behind the proposals and all possible alternatives that will save jobs. It will be challenging, but all parties should be focused on the consultation."
Karl Koehler, chief executive of Tata Steel's European operations, said it was a "challenging time" for employees.
"We are committed to doing everything in our power to support those impacted and... we will help create new jobs in the affected local communities."
The industry blamed cheap Chinese imports for a collapse in steel prices.
The axing of jobs at Scunthorpe comes just weeks after the announcement that Redcar's SSI steel plant is being mothballed, with the loss of 1,700 jobs.

Leicester South MP John Ashworth said the potenial cost emerged during talks with the Department for Transport.
Transport Minister Theresa Villiers said the government supported "the progressive electrification" of the network.
Mr Ashworth said the project was "vital" for the regional economy.
Mrs Villiers said: "The government have made it clear that we see the progressive electrification of the rail network as an important part of our transport and environmental policy."
She added that the government would give further details on its rail industry plans in July.
"This project would lead to economic stimulus and to economic growth and immediate jobs now in Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and all the way up to Sheffield," Mr Ashworth, a Labour MP, said.
"I am calling on the minister to strike while the iron is hot and get on with it."
Transport analyst Christian Wolmar said trains on an electrified line would be cleaner, more energy efficient and faster.
He said the major cities in the East Midlands would "benefit enormously" from the project.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Trump, who owns two Scottish courses, has been criticised for comments made during his bid to become the Republican Party's US presidential candidate.
And Sandy Jones says the negative publicity around Trump is bad for golf.
"Sadly his political campaign in America seems to be getting in the way of all the great things golf offers."
Jones says the PGA try to keep politics away from the sport, but Trump's high profile and controversial views make that difficult.
"The controversy is not a positive thing for golf," he told BBC Scotland.
"Donald has built some great golf courses and has two in Scotland, in Aberdeen and at Turnberry.
"I'd prefer to see less controversy around the game and sadly Donald is producing it through his political motive, not through his golfing ones. They are bound to be linked, there is no getting away from that."
Trump has spoken of his desire to attract the Open Championship to Turnberry, with 2020 a possible date if, as expected, the R&A stage that tournament away from St Andrews, allowing the 'Home of Golf' to host the 150th championship the following year.
But Jones believes the R&A will need to manage the situation carefully.
"I'm sure the R&A will be managing that situation very cautiously as they need to do and try to keep golf away from the political scene.
"An announcement to play at Turnberry would cause a huge political uproar. I'm sure they'll come to the right conclusion at the end of the day."
Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley feels it would be a shame if Turnberry was removed from the list of potential Open venues.
"We've got great history there going back to '77 with Nicklaus and Watson, and obviously Watson nearly winning a few years ago at the age of 60," McGinley told BBC Scotland.
"Unfortunately it's part of the modern world we live in now that sport and politics are very much blended in a lot of decision making.
"I don't envy them (the R&A) having to make that decision. What would be a real shame is if Turnberry doesn't happen to be on The Open rota because it's a terrific golf course."
McGinley - who captained Europe to a comprehensive victory in the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles - does not envisage players having any issues about playing at Turnberry despite the recent controversy surrounding Trump.
"I think they'll be guided by the R&A. Whatever the R&A's decision will be you'll find the players will be behind that.
"If the R&A decide to have an Open Championship there I would be very comfortable playing - if I qualify." | The chief executive of the Professional Golfers' Association says the ongoing controversy generated by Donald Trump is "not a positive thing for golf." |
Summarize the following piece. | The RSPCA said the cub, which was found cowering underneath a car in Rushden, Northamptonshire, could have perished without human intervention.
Once freed, the animal was checked over and released back into the wild.
Animal Collection Officer Sharon Knight said: "This fox had a lucky escape. Discarded jars, tin cans or even elastic bands can be a death trap."
Ms Knight said it was not known how long the fox had been stuck before she removed the jar last Friday.
"The poor cub had hidden himself under a car," she said. "Sadly the jam jar was firmly wedged over his head and it is unlikely he would have been able to get free without any help.
"It is horrible to think that if the member of the public had not contacted us, then the cub could have starved to death."
The vulpine liberation comes days after news emerged that another fox cub was found "near to death" after getting her head stuck in a peanut butter jar in Wiltshire.
Lin Zulian will head the new Communist Party Committee in Wukan and organise elections for a new village committee.
His predecessor is under investigation for alleged corruption.
Anger in Wukan over land seizures by officials resulted in an open revolt against local party leaders in December.
The villagers' key demands - including removing two local officials from their posts - were granted by officials amid considerable public backing for the villagers.
The move was seen as a rare compromise by the Chinese government.
Mr Lin on Sunday replaced the incumbent Wukan chief, a businessman who had headed the village for decades but who local people accused of land grabs.
"This is a decision that everyone in Wukan supports and it is an important move that will help resolve the land and village finance disputes," a villager with the surname of Zhang was quoted by news agency Agence France Presse as saying.
Protests began to simmer in Wukan, in Guangdong province, in September and escalated into deadlock after the death of a village negotiator in police custody.
Villagers said officials sold off their land to developers and failed to compensate them properly.
They also called for an investigation into the death of Xue Jinbo, who died on 11 December while in the hands of local police. Police say he died of a "sudden illness", but his family say he was beaten to death.
In December deputy provincial Communist Party secretary Zhu Mingguo met village representatives and reached an agreement to end the stand-off.
There are thousands of protests over land grabs in China each year, with the Wukan protest becoming a symbol of public outrage at perceived injustices.
Paintwork directed motorists in Stafford to take the A34 (M6) "nouth" rather than north.

The three-storey Georgian style building on the Ormeau Road was on the market for £175,000.
The building has been home to the SDLP in Belfast for more than 20 years.
However, it is understood the party has been feeling the pressure financially and a decision was taken to sell. The SDLP is to lose more than £100,000 in payments from Westminster after its three MPs lost their seats.
The so-called "short money" is paid to opposition parties to help with expenses.
Other parties, too, have been feeling the pinch after the recent run of elections.
The overall spending by parties was down by more than 50% in the last assembly election, compared to the previous poll ten months earlier.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | John Swinney, who is Deputy First Minister and Education Secretary for Scotland, reassured students in a joint statement.
He said there was no change in funding just now and anyone eligible would remain so during their course.
He also called for clarity on the status of EU nationals after Britain leaves the EU.
Universities Scotland, the representative body of Scotland's 19 higher education institutions, said it also wanted more guidance and reassurance for students who are coming to study next year.
And the statement also said Scotland would continue to support research collaboration with partners in Europe
Mr Swinney said: "EU students are welcome in Scotland and their contribution is valued.
"We are proud that Scotland is a destination of choice for students and staff from overseas and I am firmly committed to ensuring this remains the case.
He added: "That is why, in addition to confirming funding arrangements for our EU students today, we have renewed our call for the reintroduction of a post study work visa.
"This would boost the international appeal of Scotland's universities and help retain talent from across the world.
"The UK Government must also clarify as soon as possible, the immigration status of EU nationals who will be living, working and studying in Scotland when the UK formally leaves the EU."
Prof Sir Pete Downes, Convener of Universities Scotland and Principal of the University of Dundee said: "Our student community is incredibly diverse, with students from 180 countries studying here. This adds so much to the quality of higher education and the student experience we offer in Scotland.
"We are determined that this will continue to be the case." | Free tuition will continue for EU students who are enrolled or preparing to study in Scotland this year. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | One soldier is accused of second-degree robbery and five with third-degree assault in relation to the fracas early on Friday morning in Manhattan.
The soldiers, Fijian nationals who serve in the Royal Regiment of Scotland, were on a rugby tour.
Three of the soldiers were due to appear in court on Tuesday. The other three are expected in court this week.
A confrontation occurred during an argument between the soldiers and the off-duty NYPD officer outside a bar in the Murray Hill neighbourhood.
According to a police complaint seen by the BBC, Joeli Raduva, 34, Filipe Vunisarati, 24, and Mosese Kurulala, 27, "struck [the officer] repeatedly about the face and body with closed fists".
Two others, Iliakini Raderua, 30, and Thomas Shute, 34, are accused of hitting the 30-year-old officer when he was on the ground or facing away from the soldiers.
Ratu-Iosefo Yavala, 33, allegedly attempted to take the officer's mobile phone as he tried to report the incident to police, officials said.
The officer suffered a broken nose, a swollen jaw, a large cut to his neck, bruises and a cut inside his mouth requiring stitches, according to the police report.
The NYPD told the BBC that one of the British soldiers had required minor stitches.
It is understood that two of the servicemen received minor injuries from a knife during the altercation, although it is not clear who attacked them.
The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed that six British Army soldiers had been charged in relation to an incident in New York.
"This is a civil police matter and it would be inappropriate to comment further," the ministry's statement said.
"All those who are found to fall short of the Army's high standards or who are found to have committed an offence under the Armed Forces Act are dealt with administratively (up to and including discharge) or through the discipline process, as appropriate."
Letter combinations such as HJ or NS - denoting Hitler Youth and National Socialism - have long been prohibited on personalised plates in Austria.
Now transport officials have published a list of more than 30 more cryptic codes that have been banned.
They include number combinations such as 88, which represents "Heil Hitler".
New legislation, which came into force on Thursday, also outlaws the use of IS or ISIS on personalised number plates in a bid to stop people showing their support for the Islamic State group.
"It has been forbidden to have obvious Nazi number plates since personalised plates went on sale in 1989," a spokeswoman for Austria's transport ministry told the BBC.
"But then we learned that the far-right scene is moving away from the more obvious codes to more hidden ones.
"So we had to change the law. Civil servants deciding if someone can choose a certain number plate now know which codes are being used by the far-right scene."
Combinations no longer allowed include:
Only new number plates will be affected by the change in the law.
Abbreviations now outlawed include FG, which stands for "Fuehrer's Geburtstag", meaning "leader's birthday", and WP for "white power".
Number combinations have not previously been included, but now codes such as 18 - meaning 'Adolf Hitler' because of where A and H come in the alphabet - are also now prohibited.
The new list was compiled in co-operation with the Mauthausen Committee, an organisation representing former concentration camp prisoners. Officials say it is not exhaustive.
Austrian Transport Minister Alois Stoeger, who pushed for the law change, has said: "National Socialist ideology has no place in our society."
More than half a million Austrians have currently personalised licence plates, according to Austria's public broadcaster, ORF.
The move in Austria follows similar efforts in Germany to crack down on neo-Nazi symbols.
In Germany, the law says that number plates must not offend public morals. Each state has its own list of banned combinations, and some are stricter than others.
But attempts to introduce a federal solution, similar to that in Austria, have been unsuccessful so far. | Six British soldiers have been charged with beating up an off-duty police officer outside a New York City bar.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | And then: nothing.
For three years, Florida-born Horschel failed to make a mark - until last weekend, when, seemingly out of the blue, he took victory in the AT&T Byron Nelson USPGA.
The question on everybody's lips was, what happened?
"I'm not able to talk about it right now," Horschel told reporters on Sunday, after breaking down in tears.
But wife Brittany decided she was ready, and on Monday took to Twitter to reveal she was an alcoholic - but that her husband, to the detriment of his career, had helped her remain sober for a year.
"One year ago, I began a journey to a healthy me; mentally and physically," she wrote. "I will keep this simple, 'I am an alcoholic.' I say that now without shame."
The realisation not only saved her marriage, but also her life.
But, she said, it meant Horschel was left juggling training and competitions with raising their then 18-month-old little girl while she spent three months in rehab last year.
It was, she acknowledged, a "hard-fought year" for Horschel.
"He silently battled through... a very sad, scary and trying time," Mrs Horschel wrote.
"He deserves to soak in the glory of his win yesterday, throw his feet up and just let out a long deep breath."
And it seems Horschel is just as proud of his wife as she is of him.
Retweeting her statement, he wrote: "Proud of the journey that my wife is on! She is an amazing mother and unbelievable wife!"
The installation, called Dirty Corner, sits in the grounds outside the palace.
Mr Kapoor said in a French interview it signified "the vagina of the queen coming into power" - but later said the work was open to interpretation.
The Versailles palace was the home of Marie Antoinette, the 18th Century queen of France.
In a tweet, Versailles' mayor said the award-winning artist had "slipped up".
A German tourist, Dunja, told Reuters: "It's confusing, a big vagina and a palace.
"It's one of the most famous places in Paris and I just wanted to see it and I saw this building, this statue, and I don't know what it is."
Another tourist, Megan, from the US, said: "When you think you're coming to Versailles you'd expect like classic French, maybe a big statue of some Roman god but this just seems dirty, gross."
The piece has come in for criticism, but also praise, by female academics in the French press.
Mr Kapoor said on Friday he was misquoted in an earlier interview.
"A work has multiple interpretive possibilities," he said.
"Inevitably, one comes across the body, our bodies and a certain level of sexuality. But it is certainly not the only thing it is about."
The large metal sculpture is only part of Mr Kapoor's installation in Versailles. He also installed large mirrors, and a wall defaced by paint seemingly shot from a cannon.
Mr Kapoor is a former Turner Prize winner whose work has been shown around the world.
He is best known for the Orbital Tower at the heart of the Olympic Park in London.
Despite scoring the only goal of the first half through Neal McAuley, the Saffrons trailed 0-13 to 1-7 at the break.
Ciaran Clarke stole the show by scoring Antrim's entire second-half tally of a goal and eight to secure the draw.
Armagh also drew in 2A, ending 1-13 apiece at home to London.
It took a late goal by Caily Gorman and equalising point by Eoin McGuinness to deny London victory at the Athletic Grounds.
Antrim will be satisfied with taking something from their trip to Carlow who had started the division with victory over Westmeath.
They wanted to build on the opening win over London as they aim to enjoy a better year after a disappointing 2016 campaign.
Carlow finished with 13 men after Richard Coady was shown a straight red and Dion Wall picked up a second yellow.

Write a brief summary of the document. | Tess Newall, of Morham, East Lothian, spoke of being "distraught" after discovering the dress, which belonged to her great-great grandmother, was missing.
It followed the closure of Kleen Cleaners in St Mary Street, Edinburgh.
She posted an update on social media saying the dress was found "in a crumpled heap" at the closed shop.
The 29-year-old who married Alfred Newall, 30, in East Lothian, in June, told the BBC she was "absolutely over the moon" at the discovery, and said the last 24 hours had been "surreal".
The dress was sent to be dry cleaned in September and the shop shut in October.
The business is now being dealt with under Scottish bankruptcy law in a process known as sequestration.
A post by Mrs Newall, about the loss of her dress, was shared more than 200,000 times on social media.
She told the BBC News Channel: "My parents received a phone call this afternoon from the landlord of the property where the dry cleaners is, whose nephew had read about the dress.
"He really searched and he found a pile of old lace which he realised was what he thought was the dress.
"My parents went straight there and were just overjoyed and couldn't believe it was the dress, not cleaned, and still with its ticket."
Mrs Newall said a representative from sequestrators Wylie & Bisset was also at the dry cleaners shop on Saturday and insisted that for "procedural reasons" the dress had to go back to his office in Glasgow.
She added: "This is unbelievable and my mum was beside herself, but they have assured us that it will be delivered safely back to us on Monday.
"It's going to be apparently driven from Edinburgh to my mum and dad's house."
The 29-year-old said she still planned to have the dress cleaned, but probably at a lace specialist in London.

What is the summary of the following document? | Grenville Ham, who has launched his party's manifesto, pushed the potential of renewable energy to "kickstart a green revolution" of the Welsh economy.
He hailed the "abundance" of natural resources in Wales but stress the need for investing public money in projects.
The Greens, who had one MP in England, are putting up candidates in 10 of the 40 Welsh constituencies.
"It is vital we face up to the challenges as well as the opportunities provided by climate change to ensure we can live sustainably on our one beautiful planet," Mr Ham, who launched the manifesto in Cardiff on Tuesday, said.
"Other parties talk about these things as an after-thought - we use them as a starting point for our vision of a fairer world with economic and social justice for everyone.
"Our focus is on the policies that offer hope for young people in Wales.
"Investing in renewable energy will not only create many skilled jobs but can also provide revenue for community groups and farmers."
The Greens are also calling for the introduction of a universal basic income for all adults as a solution to poverty among working people.
Deputy spokesperson Pippa Bartolotti said: "It is the great enabler for society, giving people the opportunity to start businesses, look after their children, train, upskill, wait for a suitable job locally and have peace of mind.

What is the summary of the provided article? | It is thought the teenager, who has not been named by police, took an "ecstasy-type drug" at the party in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, on Friday.
Police said it remained unclear whether the teenager died as a result of taking drugs or from natural causes.
Officers said they had contacted many of the teenagers who were at the party.
Ch Supt Ciorstan Shearer said: "I know that this is a very painful and upsetting time for the girl's family and friends and Police Scotland will do all that we can to support her family at this difficult time.
"I do not yet know whether or not drugs have played a part in this tragic death and it is therefore important to trace other partygoers to establish that they are safe and well.
"At this time we know that there were around 40 to 50 other teenagers at this party in Rutherglen and we have managed to speak to a significant number of them."
She added: "It is vital however that those who have not already spoken to police, come forward as soon as possible, first and foremost to ensure that they are safe and well, but also because they may be in a position to provide vital information to assist the ongoing investigation."
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Consultant in Public Health Medicine, Dr Anne Scoular, said: "Many drugs are unregulated and no-one knows what they contain or the effects they may have. People offered drugs should think very carefully before taking them.
"I would urge anyone who has taken drugs and experiences symptoms such as a high temperature, aggression and muscle pains or begins to feel unwell or feels a more intense high to seek immediate medical help." | Further tests will be required to establish the cause of death of a 16-year-old girl who died a few hours after falling ill at a house party. |

The Addis Standard earlier reported the noise heard in the area was the result of an electrical pole collapsing.
Several rebel groups are fighting low-levels insurgencies in Ethiopia.
A court in Ethiopia sentenced 18 Muslims, including clerics and a journalist, to up to 22 years in prison under controversial anti-terrorism legislation in August.
Mothers in three areas of Derbyshire and South Yorkshire where breastfeeding rates were low - between 21% and 29% - were offered vouchers of up to £200.
Of the 108 eligible for the trial scheme, 37 (34%) earned vouchers for breastfeeding at six-to-eight weeks.
Critics, including leading doctors, say the scheme amounts to "bribery".
There will now be a much bigger trial involving 4,000 women.
Of the mothers eligible for the scheme, 58 signed up.
The vouchers are given at five different time-points. And results for the three- and six-month stages are still being collected.
The results of Nourishing Start for Health (Nosh) scheme are being presented at a public health science conference organised by the Lancet.
Vanessa Purdy, 31, who is still breastfeeding her eight-month-old, James, said: "The vouchers lure you into the scheme and breastfeeding. But the confidence you gain, and the friends you make through the scheme, is unbelievable.
"It's that support network, not the money, that spurs you on to continue.
"It broke down the barriers and got everyone talking about the vouchers.
"It made breastfeeding feel normal and natural to me.
"And the money was useful for daily shopping and a few treats. I even tried tuna steak for the first time."
Across England, 51% of women are breastfeeding by the six-to-eight week stage. The equivalent figure in Scotland is 38%.
Rates are much lower in poorer areas - sometimes reaching just 12%.
Official health guidelines recommend that babies are breastfed up to six months, to help protect infants from infections.
And some research has linked breastfeeding to a lower risk for mothers from breast and ovarian cancers.
But rates in the UK remain low compared with other countries. Just 1% of babies here is exclusively breastfed at six months.
Dr Clare Relton, from Sheffield University's School of Health And Related Research public health section, is running the scheme, part of a four-year research project.
She said: "The UK has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world - yet it gives better health outcomes to mums and babies, and saves the NHS money.
"During the last year, our small-scale tests have shown that midwives and health visitors were happy to tell mums about the scheme.
"We think this idea has the potential to increase breastfeeding rates in the UK, but we don't have enough information yet.
"So we are conducting a large-scale trial to help us find out how acceptable and effective the scheme is - and whether it would a good use of public money in the future."
But Dr Colin Michie, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "You're asking for a payback from some mums who can't necessarily give it.
"Not all mothers can breastfeed for a range of reasons - so it's just not fair.
"It is essentially a bribe if you're offering money for breastfeeding.
"This pilot scheme has been a success - but it would be nice if we could incentivise mums to breastfeed without paying them." | A grenade attack during evening prayers has wounded at least 10 people at the biggest mosque in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, the government said.

Summarize the provided section. | Marie Baltazar, from Llanelli, was secretly filmed by a member of staff at St James Care Home in Swansea.
The 36-year-old was also caught banging a metal pan next to the sleeping man before poking him with a wooden spoon.
Baltazar pleaded guilty at Swansea Crown Court to causing ill-treatment and was jailed for 20 weeks.
Robin Rouch, prosecuting, said the cruel treatment was not done to torment the victim, but to make Balatzar's life easier.
"The complainant suffers with Down's Syndrome and lacks mental capacity," he added.
"It would be right to say that he was restless and wanders.
"And in order to keep him on his chair the defendant would tie a small table to his chair to effectively stop him wandering off."
Mr Rouch said on one occasion, after returning from a visit to a day centre, the complainant was trapped between 17:00 and 21:00.
He added: "Mr Templeton could not freely go to the toilet or get up. This took place routinely."
The offences came to light thanks to the home's cleaner, who covertly filmed the neglect in November 2015.
Baltazar claimed she had the victim's interests at heart - but had gone about things the wrong way.
However, Judge Paul Thomas QC said the defendant had treated Mr Templeton with no dignity.
He said: "He was tethered like an animal for hours at a time.
"And when he needed to sleep you kept him awake by banging metal objects next to his head.
"Mr Templeton was in the early onset of dementia. He must have found this highly distressing, bewildering."
The court heard that the home - where the defendant's husband Ashley Bowen was the manager of - closed in March 2016 following an inspection by Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales.
Speaking after the sentencing, South Wales Police praised the whistle-blower who came forward.
"This case could not have been brought about without the commendable decision of a staff member to speak out about abuse being perpetrated within the care home," said Det Sgt Christopher Williams.
"The defendant's actions were both cruel and demeaning, carried out against a disabled victim with learning difficulties, who could not speak out for himself.
"The sentence reflects that the abuse of our most vulnerable in society cannot be tolerated, and any reports of abuse will be acted upon positively by South Wales Police and our partners."

The 47 artworks sold at Sotheby's in London on Thursday had been valued at between £8.1m ($10.2m) and £11.7m ($14.8m).
The most expensive lot was Jean-Michel Basquiat's Air Power, which went for £7.1m ($9m).
Meanwhile, Frank Auerbach's Head of Gerda Boehm fetched £3.8m ($4.8m).
A further 309 works owned by the late singer are going up for sale on Friday.
But the most valuable pieces went under the hammer on Thursday.
Bowie's family have kept artworks that are "of particular significance" but are selling the rest of his collection. The proceeds, after any fees and taxes are deducted, are going back to his estate.
The appeal of the Jean-Michel Basquiat pieces may have been enhanced by the fact that Bowie played Andy Warhol in the 1996 film of Basquiat's life.
Basquiat's Air Power had an upper valuation of £3.5m but ended up selling for more than double that amount. And an untitled Basquiat painting dating from 1984 fetched £2.4m - more than three times its pre-sale estimate.
The final £3.8m price for Frank Auerbach's thick, layered 1965 portrait of his cousin Gerda Boehm beat the previous £2.3m record for an Auerbach.
Bowie once said of the painting: "I want to sound like that looks."

She had been unwell and stopped eating earlier this month.
A vet at the elephant camp in Karnataka state that cared for her put her age at "between 85 and 90". Elephants normally survive to about 70.
Records show the oldest elephant ever to have lived in captivity was called Lin Wang. He died in Taipei zoo in 2003 at an estimated age of 86.
India has another elephant living in the state of Kerala who is thought to be a similar age.
Indira was brought to Karnataka's Sakrebailu camp, a rehabilitation and training centre for ailing and captive elephants, nearly 50 years ago.
Her diet which included "a lot of greens" may have been the secret to her long life.
But she stopped eating in early January and became weak, camp veterinarian Dr Vinay told BBC Hindi. Indira died on Monday due to an "acute inflammation of the peritoneum" and was buried after a post-mortem.
"She must have been between 85 to 90 years. Normally, around the age of 60-65 years, an elephant loses its molars," Dr Vinay said.
"Indira was on a soft food diet for almost two decades. About 15 years ago, she lost sight in one eye and about a month ago, she developed a cataract in the other eye."
Indira was caught in Kakkanakote forest in 1968 and was used to help capture and tame wild elephants. Dr Vinay described her as "highly disciplined and very docile".
As well as greens, she was fed a diet of "paddy stock, raw rice, jaggery [cane sugar] and salt".
Forest officials say her diet may have helped her live such a long life.
"It is certainly a subject matter for study. A longer life is entirely dependent on the feed elephants are given, particularly after the age of 60 years," senior forest official Dr UV Singh told BBC Hindi.

Summarize this article briefly. | The four-time champion was 0.263 seconds clear of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen while Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas was 0.670secs off the pace.
Lewis Hamilton, seven points behind Vettel in the championship, was fourth quickest, 0.039secs off his team-mate.
Hamilton had a difficult day and also struggled on his race-simulation run.
But Bottas' form was more encouraging on the long runs, matching Vettel's pace as they practised for the first stint of the race in the final part of the session.
Vettel played down the significance of Ferrari's performance, saying: "On paper this looks like a Mercedes track and I am sure they did not show everything today.
"They did not get their lap together. The gap you see is artificial ... it is a circuit that suits them. They will be strong tomorrow."
Hamilton appeared to be struggling with his car throughout the day - he aborted his first two attempts at a fast lap, made a series of mistakes and was slower than Bottas in both sessions.
"It has generally been a tricky day," said Hamilton. "The Ferrari is definitely quickest as they have been all year so far and we will work to try to pick up some pace tomorrow."
"If we can get out tyres working properly I think we can be closer and similar. There is no difference to our car compared to the previous races so the gap is still very close between us as it has been in the past."
The Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo were fifth and sixth but 1.4 seconds off Vettel's pace, and the Dutchman ground to a halt with an engine problem midway through the session.
It was another difficult day for McLaren-Honda. Stoffel Vandoorne suffered an engine problem at the end of the first session which required a change of power-unit.
That has resulted in the Belgian receiving a 15-place grid penalty because he has already used too many of the six constituent parts of the engine. Vandoorne is now on his fifth turbocharger and fifth MGU-H, the part of the hybrid system that recovers energy from the turbo, when only four changes are permitted in the entire 20-round season.
Team-mate Fernando Alonso was 12th quickest, 2.6 seconds slower than Vettel.
The Cubs, who had trailed 3-1 overall, will now bid for their first World Series title in 108 years on Wednesday in Cleveland.

The Cubs laid the platform for the victory with three runs in the first inning.

The loss of the Kent game was the first time that Worcestershire's opening fixture has been totally washed out in over a century, although the early May meeting with Bill Lawry's 1968 Australian tour team also failed to get under way.
But it also awakened unfortunate memories of a more recent abandonment, coincidentally also against Kent, following the great flood of June 2007.
A further downpour also caused the abandonment of the following month's game against Lancashire before the county rerouted to Chester Road, Kidderminster for the remainder of that season's four-day fixtures.
Gerard Elias, QC, found there was no evidence that the pitch itself was unfit, or that Worcestershire had, by the action or wilful inaction of its groundstaff, done anything which adversely impacted upon the possibility of play.
He was satisfied that reasonable decisions and actions had been taken by the club in the light of the condition of the playing area in the period leading up to the match and weather conditions that prevailed.
In the 24 hours before the commencement of the match, when the home team practised on the whole of the square and playing area, Worcestershire reasonably believed that the ground would be fit for the match the following day.
"We are delighted with the response and findings of the ECB investigation into our game against Kent," said Scott.
"We were as disappointed as anyone that the elements conspired. It was not what we desired from a playing point of view and financially. We also have sympathy with supporters from both sides who may have travelled considerable distances and spent substantial funds and were frustrated by events.
"But the fact of the matter is that on the Friday before the game the outfield was perfectly playable and the players were also able to practise on the Saturday. That we then had substantial amounts of rain over two of the next three days is nothing we had no control over.
"Everyone at Worcestershire County Cricket Club was left frustrated, none more so than the groundstaff who had put in Herculean work to ensure the ground was fit to play after our two winter floods."
After a week off following the abandonment against Kent, Worcestershire drew with Gloucestershire at Bristol last week.
England Lions batsman Joe Clarke, still only 19, posted his highest first-class score, 135, while England all-rounder Moeen Ali made 210 runs in the match.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) said officers would wear the devices to give them "a more complete picture of incidents".
The service said video would also help officers evaluate their performance.
But the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) warned that it could "compromise the neutrality" of firefighters and act as a disciplinary tool.
FBU executive council member Tam McFarlane said: "We have a level of trust with communities in deprived areas where we do a lot of public safety work.
"Our fear is that if we are to wear cameras it would automatically raise suspicions.
"With fires you could probably learn a lot from cameras but, if it was day-to-day activity, they could compromise firefighters' neutrality."
Mr McFarlane said video from body-worn cameras could also be used as evidence in disciplinary cases against firefighters.
But the union's secretary in Hampshire, Gary Jackson, said: "We don't have any concerns. They will increase safety and increase the learning experience."
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was the first in the country to be handing out body-worn cameras to officers.
The service said footage collected during a pilot scheme provided video evidence of a suspected arsonist and had been used in an investigation into a boat fire.
In May, a trial camera captured images of explosions at a fireworks store in Southampton.
HFRS operational technology manager Alex Rhodes said: "New body-worn cameras are going to help every firefighter be the best they can be and embrace the fact we are, as all fire services are, a learning organisation."
Assistant chief officer Andy Bowers said: "We will use them for reflective learning, training, incident analysis and fire investigation.
"They will make the public and firefighters of Hampshire safer."
Firefighters in Plymouth trialled head cameras in 2007 to monitor anti-social behaviour surrounding bonfire night, but the pilot was not extended.
It comes after the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (Waza) suspended Japan's membership because of the "cruel" way the dolphins are caught.
The Taiji hunt has been carried out for decades despite widespread criticism.
Hundreds of dolphins and pilot whales are herded into a small bay and either killed for meat or sold to aquariums.
The hunt, which sees the animals killed with knives in shallow waters, gained global attention when it was the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary film The Cove in 2009.
Waza had suspended Japan in April, saying all its members were prohibited from using "cruel and non-selective methods of taking animals from the wild".
It said negotiations with Japan on a compromise had failed.
The Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (Jaza), which has 152 member sites, said on Wednesday it would now "prohibit its members to acquire wild dolphins caught by drive fishing in Taiji and to take part in their export and sale".
But the group's chair, Kazutoshi Arai, told a news conference that the move was not a criticism of the Taiji "drive fishing" method, nor of whaling culture itself. He said Jaza still believed that the Taiji hunt was "not cruel".
He blamed Waza's decision on "pressure from international anti-whale activist groups".
The move was welcomed by those groups, many of which say that the hunt is largely made economically viable because of the trade to aquariums.
Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd said it was "great news for the dolphins in Taiji".
"With the elimination of the demand for Taiji dolphins from Japanese aquariums, Taiji's hunt is one huge step closer to being sunk economically," it said in a statement.
Sarah Lucas, head of Australia for Dolphins, said it marked "the beginning of the end for dolphin hunting in Japan". | A fire service has claimed to be the first in Great Britain to fully deploy helmet-mounted cameras.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Speaking on Fox News, the real estate mogul turned candidate described the situation as "an unbelievable humanitarian problem".
Thousands of people, mainly from Syria, have been entering Europe and travelling northwards in recent weeks.
The US has allowed 1,500 Syrians to re-settle since the start of the conflict.
But there are hints that it will take more.
Speaking from the US Capitol on Wednesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the US was committed to welcoming more Syrian refugees.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has asked governments around the world to resettle 130,000 Syrians by the end of 2016. In past conflicts, the US has typically taken half of the UNHCR request.
"On a humanitarian basis, something does have to be done," Mr Trump said.
"It's a serious problem. We haven't seen anything like it since the second world war, and it's getting worse and worse".
When asked whether he thought they should be allowed in the US, the business mogul said: "I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis, with what's happening, you have to."
He added: "It's living in hell in Syria. They are living in hell."
Mr Trump has made a tough line on immigration a central plank of his campaign, and has drawn criticism for anti-immigrant views in the past.
He was harshly criticised after saying undocumented Mexican immigrants were "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists".
The migrant crisis has had European leaders scrambling to come up with a solution.
On Wednesday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced a plan for 120,000 additional asylum seekers to be distributed among EU nations, with binding quotas.
Mr Trump's views on the migrant crisis mark him apart from some of his Republican rivals who have been more hardline in their views.
They will all be appearing on stage next week in a televised debate hosted by CNN, and the millionaire businessman has asked the CNN president to donate the advertising revenue to charities for army veterans.
The "tremendous increase in viewer interest and advertising is due 100% to Donald J Trump," he wrote.
The Afghan government asked for the move as part of a deal with Mr Hekmatyar and his militant group in September.
The deal grants him immunity in return for support for the Afghan constitution and a promise to abandon violence.
He fought the Soviet occupation but was later accused of shelling civilians.
Mr Hekmatyar is also a former Afghan prime minister and his Hezb-e-Islami militant group is the second biggest in the country.
He was forced to flee Kabul in 1996 when the Taliban came to power and in 2003 was designated as a terrorist by the US.
Mr Hekmatyar's whereabouts remain unknown. He did not attend the signing ceremony in Kabul for the deal with the government.
Under the UN Security Council move, his assets are unfrozen and a travel ban is rescinded.
As a guerrilla leader in the 1980s, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar had air of icy menace about him that hinted at ruthless ambition, a characteristic he demonstrated to the full during the ferocious power-struggle that followed the end of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
He became known as the Butcher of Kabul for his faction's indiscriminate firing of rockets into the capital. The death and destruction this caused led many Afghans to welcome the takeover of the Taliban.
Once one of the main recipients of western aid, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was deeply hostile to the west and was later accused by the US state department of supporting attacks by al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The deal between Mr Hekmatyar and the Afghan government was seen as being highly symbolic because it is the first to be concluded without UN or international mediation.
BBC Afghan Service editor Waheed Massoud said Mr Hekmatyar appeared to have calculated that he would be more significant as a political leader in Kabul than as the leader of a group of fighters up in the mountains who are also competing with the Taliban for influence.
Hezb-e-Islami has supporters across the country and it is thought the peace agreement could encourage some Taliban leaders to consider joining the process. | Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said the US should take greater steps to address the migrant crisis in Europe.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Justice Secretary Michael Matheson was speaking as MSPs debated the new Domestic Abuse Bill in the Scottish Parliament.
He used the debate to condemn the "pernicious, coercive and controlling behaviour" of perpetrators.
Police Scotland recorded almost 60,000 cases of domestic abuse in 2014-15.
The majority (79%) of cases involved a male perpetrator and a female victim.
The new bill will create a specific offence of "abusive behaviour in relation to a partner or ex-partner".
And it will also include proposals to ensure psychological abuse, such as coercive and controlling behaviour, can be effectively prosecuted.
The proposals have been given the backing in principle by opposition politicians.
Mr Matheson told MSPs of some of the "horrendous" types of behaviour victims can be forced to endure - but which cannot currently be prosecuted by the courts.
He said perpetrators "may not necessarily use physical violence against their partner or even overt threats", but they could "behave in a highly-controlling, abusive way over a long period of time".
The Justice Secretary continued: "Examples of what abusers may do to humiliate their partners are horrendous.
"For example, abusers may force them to eat food off the floor, control access to the toilet, repeatedly put them down and tell them they are worthless.
"Abusers also try to control every aspect of their partner's life, by, for example, preventing them from attending work or college, stopping them making contact with family or friends, giving them no or limited access to money, checking or controlling their use of their phone and social media."
He said where this behaviour is not accompanied by physical violence or overt threats it could currently be "very difficult to prosecute".
Mr Matheson said: "A perpetrator may have subjected their partner to years of abuse but may only have been convicted of a single instance of assault or threatening and abusive behaviour."
He stressed the new law would not inadvertently criminalise "ordinary arguments and friction that may occur in many relationships".
Ministers are also "considering very carefully" how the proposals could be changed to reflect the impact of such abuse on children who are "in effect secondary victims of partner abuse".
Mr Matheson said: "It's not only physical violence but also psychological abuse - exerting total control over your partner's every movement and action, forcing your partner to live in constant fear is criminal and unacceptable in our society."
In a Scottish government consultation, more than 90% of people said they did not believe the current laws provided police, prosecutors and courts with sufficient powers to bring perpetrators of abuse to justice.
Tory MSP Douglas Ross said domestic abuse was a "monstrous and multi-faceted crime", adding that "destructive effects can continue to reverberate long after the abuse has come to an end".
But he raised concerns that a senior figure in the Crown Office had told MSPs it was better for domestic abuse to be an aggravating factor in cases than for a separate offence of domestic abuse to be created.
"We have to ensure we get this right. It is an important piece of legislation that people will be looking at for many years to come," the Conservative said.
Labour's Claire Baker said: "We are in principle very supportive of introducing the new offence and of the intention to include those who commit psychological abuse and engage in coercive and controlling behaviour.
"While the majority of cases are a male perpetrator and a female victim, the law will provide protection for all adults in intimate relationships."
She urged the Scottish government to "learn any lessons" from England and Wales, where similar legislation has already been introduced.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Mark Drakeford said he thought the Betsi Cadwaladr and Hywel Dda health boards were the ones "most likely to struggle to live within their means".
But he said he was unwilling to repeat the NHS bail-outs of previous years.
Three health boards overspent by a total of £50m in 2014-15 despite an extra £240m given to the Welsh NHS to cover the cost of winter pressures.
On Thursday, Mr Drakeford told AMs on the health committee he would not give LHBs "extra money at the end of the year to make it look as if they have lived within their means".
The health boards which overspent in 2014-15 were:
Mr Drakeford said he was very hopeful that the Aneurin Bevan, Cwm Taf and Powys health boards, as well as the Velindre NHS Trust, had the ability to improve their financial situations.
But he said he was "a little less confident" about the Cardiff and Vale health board, and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg.
In December 2013, Welsh health boards were given approval to balance their books over a three-year period rather than annually.
A spokesman for the Betsi Cadwaladr board said it expected a deficit of £19.7m for 2015-16, or 1.5% of its budget.
"While clearly disappointing, this represents the significant operational challenges affecting the Health Board, including those unique circumstances which have resulted in the Health Board being placed in special measures," he said.
"The appointment of a permanent Chief Executive, along with developing a medium term strategy for safe and sustainable clinical services, will be critical to enable the Health Board to balance over future years."
Hywel Dda chief executive Steve Moore said it was "working closely" with Welsh ministers on its finances and grateful for their support "in meeting some of the issues that we face, particularly our significant workforce challenges".
"We acknowledge the need to live within our means and have saving plans in place to demonstrate improvement and progress towards our three year Integrated Medium Term Plan," he said.
Conservative Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar added: "Despite assurances that there will be no bailouts this time, it remains concerning that at least two health boards are going to struggle to break even this year.
"This dire state of affairs is symptomatic of Labour's failure to protect the health budget in recent years, and highlights the lack of progress being made at Betsi Cadwaladr health board."
In England, the NHS overspent by £930m in three months in 2015, and is on course for an annual deficit of at least £2bn, in what regulators described as its worst financial crisis in a generation.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said it would manage Pen Y Maes surgery in Summerhill if another team of GPs does not take it over in October.
No reasons have been given for the contract termination.
The Pendyffryn Medical Group in Prestatyn terminated its contract in September citing a failure to recruit new doctors.
In December, a GP in nearby Rhuddlan terminated her contract, blaming the challenges and pressures of growing demands.

Provide a summary of the section below. | The Island Drift exhibition shows trails of light photographed at dusk and night around Loch Lomond.
One image has a long line of light that leads the eye towards the boundary fault islands which span the loch.
The project, by public art company NVA, was in partnership with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
NVA have produced public art displays like the Ghost Peleton and light displays at the 2012 London London Olympics.
The Island Drift exhibition, which took nine months to make, was created by designer James Johnson, photographer Alan McAteer and NVA's creative director Angus Farquhar.
Rangers from the national park and the crew of the Loch Lomond rescue boat also helped with the project.
Mr Farquhar said NVA wanted to "invert" the public art displays the company usually produced and make something purely for the camera.
"Looking in depth we realised where the Highland boundary fault ran, with the islands that cut across the reach of Loch Lomond, and became interested in the geology."
He told the BBC that 50 light units were manipulated to make the trail of light that mimics the fault along the spine of Conic Hill near Balmaha.
"We had some phenomenal light conditions. There's no digital manipulation at all. You got these incredible purples, oranges and slightly uncanny blue glows. They look hyper-real," he said.
"There's a complexity, beauty and unearthly quality to the art. It was worth spending those cold, wet and windy nights out in the national park to make it."
Gordon Watson, chief executive of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, said "It was an unusual and fascinating experience for our rangers to help the artists light up the landscape of the park to create these stunning images.
"The exhibition provides a unique perspective on the striking geology of Loch Lomond and we are thrilled that it will be on show. I would encourage people from the national park area and across Scotland to head to Glasgow for this unique exhibition."

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Federal investigators in Moscow brought charges over a timber deal in the Kirov region in which he was involved as an unofficial adviser three years ago.
The case was previously investigated and dropped by regional prosecutors.
Mr Navalny, who was also ordered not to leave the country, suggested the new charges were aimed at discrediting him.
Supporters of the anti-corruption lawyer, who led mass protests in Moscow against Russian leader Vladimir Putin this winter, demonstrated outside the offices of the Investigative Committee (SK) in Moscow, where he was charged on Tuesday.
Under Article 160 of the Russian criminal code on "misappropriation or embezzlement", Mr Navalny faces between five and 10 years in prison if convicted.
Reacting to news of the case, Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said on Twitter: "We should be concerned with attempts in Russia to silence fierce opposition activist Alexei @navalny."
The original case related to a loss-making contract concluded by a state-owned timber company in Kirov, a region just west of the Ural Mountains, with another company.
The Kirov regional budget for 2009-10 reportedly suffered a loss of 1.3m roubles (£26,000; $40,000) and Mr Navalny was investigated as he was acting at the time as an adviser to Kirov's governor, Nikita Belykh.
Federal investigators initially sought to charge Mr Navalny with causing "damage to property by means of deceit or abuse of trust" but they proceeded to more serious charges after reviewing the evidence, SK spokesman Vladimir Markin told reporters.
The new charges were posted on the website of the SK, a federal body set up to act as the equivalent of the FBI in Russia.
Mr Navalny is now accused of colluding with the heads of the two companies involved to organise the theft of timber worth 16m roubles (£300,000; $500,000).
The anti-corruption campaigner pointed out that he had gone to the SK expecting to be charged with the lesser offence, only to find the case had been altered against him into something much more serious.
"This charge is strange and absurd," he said after emerging from the building. "They have completely changed the essence of the charge."
"This is a mega-strange thing," he added. "Even the very figure of 16m roubles has not been explained at all."
This winter saw the biggest anti-government demonstrations in Moscow since the fall of the USSR. Protesters rallied around Mr Navalny, who accused Mr Putin's allies of rigging elections.
Since Mr Putin was re-elected president in March, legal action against opposition figures has increased markedly. A tough new law was passed on public order offences and tight curbs were placed on non-governmental organisations.
In recent weeks, Mr Navalny, a lawyer by training, turned his fire on the SK's chief, Alexander Bastrykin, reports the BBC's Moscow correspondent, Daniel Sandford.
Mr Bastrykin denied Mr Navalny's allegations that he had undeclared business interests in the Czech Republic.
He admitted once owning a flat there but said he had given it to his first wife. As for commercial activity, he said: "I was never in business. Business in the sense of aiming to make a profit. If they can find a single euro in profit, I'll resign."
Mr Navalny vowed on Tuesday to continue his political activities despite the case against him.
"I will continue doing what I did before - nothing has changed for me," he was quoted as saying by AFP news agency. | Russian anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny has been charged with embezzlement in a case he describes as "strange and absurd". |

The 46-year-old's last game as interim manager will be Tuesday's friendly against Spain at Wembley (19:45 GMT).
An FA committee will then make a decision on who will be given the permanent job - with England Under-21 boss Southgate the heavy favourite.
"It will be important for me to know what I'm doing after the middle of November," he said.
"We've got a European Under-21 Championship to prepare for and the seniors have got their next round of qualifiers [in March].
"Of course everybody is going to want to know, I guess, by the end of November, middle of December, where everything is heading so we can decide who is responsible for which parts of the organisation's work."
Southgate, a former England defender, was effectively handed a four-game trial period by the FA after the abrupt end to Sam Allardyce's 67-day spell in charge in September.
He has led the national team to seven points from a possible nine in World Cup qualifying, and they lead Group F by two points following Friday's 3-0 win over Scotland.
Asked about whether he wanted the England job in his news conference before the Spain friendly, Southgate said: "I don't think now is the time for those discussions.
"Everything is about the team. I am not a coach for whom what happens to me is the most important thing.
He added: "We've got some players really open to improving, are desperately keen to play, want to do well for their country. We have some terrific athletes which means the style of play can be very much on the front foot.
"The challenge is continuity. My view of managing has always been you manage every game like you are going to be there forever.
"For any club or organisation you have to think about long term, not just short."
FA chairman Greg Clarke, technical director Dan Ashworth, chief executive Martin Glenn and League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson will decide who will be England's next manager.
Southgate's only job at club level was at Middlesbrough from 2006 and 2009, but he is not worried about a lack of experience.
"Maybe you prove yourself at a smaller one first or maybe you don't," he said. "Pep [Guardiola] was straight in at Barcelona having worked with the B team.
