The New England Patriots will face the Atlanta Falcons at the NRG Stadium in Houston, USA, with the winner lifting American Football's biggest prize.
Don't worry if are you a NFL newbie though because Newsround is here to help you.
Watch Ayshah's guide to the key rules, the player positions and the ultimate aim of the game. | The Super Bowl - one of the world's biggest sporting events - will take place on Sunday, 5 February. |
Summarize the information given below. | The Mercedes drivers were in a league of their own as Hamilton beat Rosberg by 0.319 seconds, ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
There were tense moments for Hamilton after he had his first pole lap time deleted for exceeding track limits.
But he nailed it on his final lap as Rosberg failed to get close at Silverstone.
The result sets up a mouth-watering battle between the two Mercedes in the race, which starts at 13:00 BST on Sunday and is live on the BBC Sport website and Radio 5 live.
They have been given a "final warning" by their Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff after their crash together on the final lap of the Austrian Grand Prix last weekend and risk being dropped from a subsequent race or heavy fines if they do it again.
Rosberg heads into the race 11 points clear in the championship.
Hamilton thanked the crowd for their support after they had cheered him around the track and said: "The penultimate lap was a very good lap and was unfortunately taken as I touched the kerb and it just pulled me further [wide].
"So a lot of pressure for that last lap. I couldn't let the guys down."
Verstappen, who out-qualified Ricciardo for the first time since being promoted to Red Bull at the Spanish Grand Prix back in May, was 1.026 seconds behind the Mercedes and 0.305secs clear of Ricciardo.
But the Red Bull has shown strong race pace and may be in the mix in the race.
Ferrari, though, are having a torrid weekend.
Kimi Raikkonen, who was re-signed for 2017 on Thursday evening, and Sebastian Vettel qualified fifth and sixth, but Vettel will start 11th because his gearbox failed in final practice - which resulted in his second five-place grid penalty for an illegal gearbox change in as many races.
The top 10 was completed by Williams's Valtteri Bottas, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and McLaren's Fernando Alonso, who was eighth before his best lap time was deleted for exceeding track limits at the final corner.
His team-mate Jenson Button, who has not been on Alonso's pace all weekend, was eliminated in first qualifying.
The 2009 world champion, who had a new floor that Alonso tested on Friday fitted for Saturday morning, was 0.5 seconds slower than the Spaniard after his rear wing came loose at Turn Eight yet McLaren decided not to send him out for a second run.
He was demoted by Renault's Kevin Magnussen and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat. Button said he did not go out again as they thought Magnussen would have his fastest time deleted for exceeding track limits but the stewards decided to take no action on the Dane and Button was out.
Magnussen's English team-mate Jolyon Palmer qualified 18th for his first home grand prix.

Lewis-Francis, 33, who won Olympic gold as part of the 4x100m relay team at the 2004 Athens Games, missed Beijing 2008 and London 2012 through injury.
The GB Bobsleigh team finished fifth at both the 2014 Sochi Games and at last season's World Championships.
"I can be a great track athlete and a great bobsleigher," he told BBC Sport.
"My problem has always been my start and hopefully bobsleigh can help me improve that because I'd love to make the Rio 2016 team."
Lewis-Francis insists though that bobsleigh will be his major focus as he is determined to add to his Olympic medal collection.
"Some of my greatest moments have come in team events, like the 4x100m relay [in Athens], so bobsleigh plays to my strengths," he said.
The 2010 Commonwealth relay gold medallist has also been impressed by the talent he has seen in the British team.
"I watched the last Winter Olympics on the TV and was very intrigued, but I've found it's not as easy as it looks and I have so much respect for the guys here," he said.
"They [GB] already have a good team and I'm a big lad, I'm strong, I still have a little bit of fast-twitch fibre left too so perhaps with a bit of MLF speed in there we can finish a bit better than fifth."
Lewis-Francis' former GB team-mates Simeon Williamson and Joel Fearon are already part of the British bobsleigh setup, whilst fellow 2004 Olympic gold medallist Jason Gardener competed in the 2008 GB Bobsleigh championships.

Other ex-sprinters who have previously made the switch include Marcus Adam, Allyn Condon, former world champion GB bobsleigher Nicola Minichiello and Beijing Olympian Craig Pickering.
"I was quite surprised when I came here and saw a lot of people that I used to line up against and race," he said.
"There's a lot of young sprinters here as well so you can see the making of the switch from athletics to bobsleigh and I think it's good for the sport."
USA sprinter Lauryn Williams won Olympic relay gold at London 2012, before partnering Elena Meyers-Taylor to a second-place finish at the Sochi Winter Olympics last year.
GB Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson hopes Lewis-Francis can make a similar difference for the British team.
"To win an Olympic medal in 2018 we need to have one of the quickest start times in the world, we were near that in Sochi but just need that little bit more," he told BBC Sport."
On Lewis-Francis, Anderson said: "He is an Olympic champion and has taken to the bobsleigh training really well - it's an exciting time for the team."
The Commonwealth 100m silver medallist's eldest child, Romeo, was less than a year old when the men's 4x100m relay team secured victory over the USA in Athens.
"Most of my kids are too young to remember 2004," he reflected, and added that a medal "would be amazing and a dream come true.
"To have another moment where they can actually watch it and see their daddy actually doing something amazing - that would be great for me."
Lewis-Francis has made impressive progress since joining the team for pre-season training in Bath in August and has been selected for the team push start trials in Switzerland later in September.
He is expected to make his debut on ice next month with the bobsleigh American Cup series a possible target in late October. | British sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis has joined the GB Bobsleigh set-up in a bid to reach both the Rio 2016 summer and Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. |

Andrew Humphries filmed the creatures at around 11:30 GMT off the coast of Torquay.
He said: "It was incredible. The two whales were slapping their fins on the water, then one disappeared and the other one came back and breached out of the water a couple of times.
"It was absolutely amazing to see."
He believes they are humpback whales, and there have been regular sightings of the species in the area in recent weeks.
The Sea Watch Foundation, which records sightings of whales, said it was rare for humpbacks to be seen off the UK coastline until recently.
In the last five years sightings have increased from about five per year to between 15 and 30, it said. | Two whales have been filmed breaching out of the water and slapping their fins off the coast of Devon. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | A previous inspection of HMP Cornton Vale in Stirling found many prisoners had to wait more than 10 minutes to use a shared toilet overnight.
Inspectors visited the jail after about 110 prisoners were transferred to HMP Polmont, near Falkirk, last August.
The new report said prisoners' access to healthcare had also improved.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland's (HMIPS) previous report, published in February 2016, said night-time sanitation arrangements at the jail were "wholly unacceptable in the 21st Century".
It noted that, in some cases, women were told to "pee in the sink" by staff.
HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland, David Strang, said he was "encouraged" by the changes that had been implemented since the last inspection report.
He said: "There are still challenges for staff who are caring for some of the most vulnerable women in Scotland.
"When women return to the community after serving their sentence, it is vital that the right support is in place to encourage a successful reintegration into the community."
Cornton Vale is due to be replaced with a purpose-built 80-bed facility and five regional units holding 20 women each.
The new report is based on a three-day inspection carried out last October when the prison held 93 offenders, aged between 18 and 74.
It said that HMP Cornton Vale was a "significantly different establishment" since the previous inspection.
The report noted: "Inspectors found that good progress had been made in adjusting to the new arrangements.
"In particular all women now had unrestricted access to toilet facilities, which had not been the situation a year ago.
"The reduction in the number of women allowed more time for staff to work constructively with the women to make the most of their time in custody."
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said it welcomed the new report.
It noted: "SPS also welcomes HMIPS' comments that everyone in HMP & YOI Cornton Vale has worked diligently, with purpose and focus, to achieve the best possible outcome for the women who remain there.
"The report recognises that staff are able to take a more person-centred approach to working with, and caring for, those in custody." | Inmates at Scotland's only all-women prison now have unrestricted access to toilet facilities, a new inspection report has noted. |
Summarize the passage below. | Be it the consolidation of companies, technological advances and even the future of the BBC, there will be lots happening.
Here are the 10 themes to look out for.
The big theme in the media business is the coming consolidation, usually between distributors and owners of content. In other words, those who own the pipes and those who tell the stories and ideas.
Why is this happening? It's simple. When there is such ferocious competition for eyeballs, the best way to ensure you reach big audiences is to own the delivery mechanism for reaching them.
The proposed (but far from certain) merger between AT&T and Time Warner fits into this theme, as does the (also far from certain) proposed deal between 21st Century Fox and Sky. Look out for Disney bidding for Netflix or Vice, and BT or Liberty bidding for ITV.
Consolidation also happens when you get sub-sectors that are highly populated while demand for their product is falling.
British newspapers fit this category very well. Fewer people are reading newspapers, yet there is (compared for instance to the US) a huge array of newspapers.
Expect, therefore, a few of them to be bought - perhaps the Daily Telegraph or Daily Express - and expect to hear more soon about the idea of the industry coming together to form a single advertising sales team.
Facebook and Google account for an ever-growing slice of digital advertising around the globe. Companies wholly dependent on digital advertising may therefore struggle to survive unless their cost bases are low.
The advertising industry is estimated at over $540bn (£440bn) annually. But the threats to it are growing, from "cord-cutting", whereby consumers ditch satellite and cable services for ad-free subscription services, to ad-blocking and widespread fraud, with concerns that many digital ads aren't seen by humans.
This was compounded by Facebook's admission that it had given advertisers false information about the videos seen on the social network.
All together, these pressures have damaged trust and confidence in this vast global industry. This year is going to be a tough one for many chief marketing officers.
I often wonder what philosopher AJ Ayer, who wrote the seminal Language, Truth and Logic in 1936, would have made of the phrase "post-truth politics".
I suspect he would have said plus ca change. And then he would have reminded us that whereas falsity comes by degrees, truth is absolute.
The idea that there are concrete facts we can agree on as a basis for civilised public conversation has taken a pounding of late. The rise of social media's echo chambers; growth in fake news; state propaganda broadcast in the West (whether Russian, Iranian, or Chinese); and the frenzied campaigns for Brexit and the White House were all threats to the truth.
In 2017 it will be incumbent on all those who believe in truths to prove both that such things exist, and that they are worth knowing.
World-class media only has a future if it is financially viable, and throughout the history of commerce, asking customers to pay for products they demand has been the surest guarantee of such viability.
Specialist publications from the Spectator to the Economist and the Financial Times have grown their subscriber bases by charging for digital access. So too have general publications like the Times and the New York Times.
If consumers recognise that quality costs and are willing to pay - which the growth of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime suggests is the case in television - 2017 could provide fresh cheer.
We should know in the coming weeks whether the second phase of the Leveson Inquiry will go ahead, and also whether Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act - which requires papers to bear the costs of legal action brought against them, even if they win - will become law.
Whatever happens, Britain's newspaper industry won't accede to what it sees as state regulation of the press without one hell of a fight.
It should never be forgotten that in many parts of the world, being a journalist is still a subversive act.
I reported recently that, according to Reporters sans Frontiers, 74 journalists died doing their jobs in 2016.
This year, whether that number goes up or down, journalists are certain to be murdered, taken hostage, and used as blackmail.
The sheer danger of reporting from some parts of the world will make those areas information vacuums.
Social media abhors an information vacuum, so our knowledge of places such as Raqqa will continue, unfortunately, to depend on the use of social media by militant groups.
One of the most remarkable stories of 2016 was Peter Thiel's war on Gawker. The Silicon Valley entrepreneur was outed as gay by the gossip and news website.
In response, he funded a legal action brought by former wrestling champion Hulk Hogan (real name Terrence Bollea), who was furious about the site publishing a sex-tape in which he starred.
The action was successful, in so far as Thiel and Bollea won, rendering Gawker bankrupt. Gawker Media, the parent company, was bought by Univision but gawker.com, the flagship site, was shut down.
In a piece for the New York Times, Thiel said he would do it again. Which raises the question: will other rich individuals who can finance such legal actions be encouraged to take on media organisations?
Perhaps encouraged by Donald Trump's disdain for the "mainstream media" (Thiel was a Trump supporter), and the rise of the "alt-right", it's just possible that free speech will come under attack in America as never before.
Already threatening to overtake Twitter in many key measures, from its user base to market value, the video messaging app's much anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO), scheduled for the spring, could value it between $20bn and $25bn.
There are thought to be well more than 10 million users in the UK already, and while Snapchat's growth among the under-30s gives it a unique appeal to advertisers, the really fascinating thing is how new forms of social media are changing our behaviour.
Teenagers across the country are sending each other videos - or "snaps" - several times a day. What is this doing to our sense of privacy, attention spans, and friendship circles? In 2017, we may begin to find out.
A new BBC chairman (or chairwoman) will be announced in the coming days. Whoever gets the role will need to lead a new governance structure, with the BBC Trust having been scrapped and regulatory oversight being passed to Ofcom.
With a new 11-year charter having come into force from 1 January, the BBC needs to find substantial savings, focus on "distinctive content" and compete with the new predators stalking the media jungle such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Aside from those challenges, managing the "Compete and Compare" strategy announced by director general Tony Hall in 2014, whereby many more programmes will be put out to tender rather than made in house, amounts to a radical rethink of the BBC's place within the industry and our culture more broadly.
The future of Channel 4 remains unclear. There has been talk of privatisation, moving to Birmingham or further north, and selling the Channel 4 offices on Horseferry Road in London. A private equity fund could soon offer to buy the broadcaster. But there have been few decisions, as yet.
The anxiety this has induced in staff at Channel 4 is considerable. Chief executive David Abraham and chief creative officer Jay Hunt showed, with their purchase of Great British Bake Off, that they have immense editorial ambition.
With over £1bn in revenues for the sixth year in a row, the channel's unique model, as a public broadcaster that is commercially funded, has worked well.
In 2017, the broadcaster should - finally - discover what, and where, it's future will be.
Aside from all of the above, there are countless other media trends, themes and stories that will flare up in 2017.
Will Adam Crozier move on from ITV, having achieved a turnaround? How many more Chinese people will spend most of their waking hours on WeChat, the remarkable app that has few equivalents in the West? And will digital technology help create a flourishing media sector across Africa, South America and Asia?
So 2017 will be very exciting across media. Watch this space. | All the forces of change in the media industry are very likely to accelerate in 2017. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | IS fighters used heavy weaponry and suicide bomb attacks against Kurdish Peshmerga forces to the south of the city in the early hours of Friday.
Six Peshmerga fighters were killed, including senior commander Brigadier Sherko Fatih.
At least 21 people were killed in other attacks in Baghdad and Samarra.
A number of Peshmerga fighters were also reported killed in another suicide attack at Jalawla, in Diyala province, despite recent assurances from Iraqi authorities that the area had been cleared of IS fighters.
The attacks indicate that, despite the setback IS has faced at Kobane in north-east Syria, the militant group is determined to keep up aggressive activity elsewhere, our correspondent Jim Muir reports from Beirut in Lebanon.
The so-called IS militants captured a number of villages to the south of Kirkuk during their overnight attack, though Kurdish officials say some of the ground was later regained in a counter-offensive.
In Kirkuk city itself, suicide bombers targeted a police station and nearby hotel.
The curfew kicked in at 10:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and will remain in place until further notice, reports say.
Kirkuk is home to several different groups, including Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen. All three groups have competing claims to the province, which is rich in oil.
Under former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's programme of "Arabisation", Kurds were driven from Kirkuk and replaced with settlers from the south, and the Iraqi government continues to assert control over nearby oilfields, with the backing from the local Turkmen community.
The city itself was seized by Kurdish fighters in June 2014 after the Iraqi army left the area ahead of an anticipated attack by Islamic State militants. It has come under regular attack from IS militants since then. | A curfew is in place in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk following fierce overnight clashes between Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Islamic State militants. |

McCourt left Luton Town to return home in May after his wife Laura was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Laura underwent a successful operation last month and doctors are optimistic that she will make a full recovery.
McCourt had a previous spell at his hometown club between 2006 and 2008 and helped the Candystripes win the FAI Cup and two League Cups.
The Derry native helped Celtic land Scottish Premier League titles and the Scottish Cup during his stint with the Glasgow club before moving to Barnsley in August 2013.
He spent further spells at Brighton and Luton and also had a loan stint at Notts County.
Luton were keen to retain McCourt's services but his wife's illness led to his decision to return home. | Paddy McCourt looks set to play in the Irish League after his hometown club Derry City opted not to sign the Northern Ireland international winger. |
Give a short summary of the provided document. | Katie Cutler, 22, of Gateshead, has received a British Empire Medal following the appeal in aid of Alan Barnes.
Mr Barnes, 67, also of Gateshead, was mugged outside his home in January. Donations came from across the world.
Ms Cutler has since founded her own charitable foundation.
Among those she has gone on to help are Kacie Martin, a two-year-old girl who has spinal muscular atrophy.
Ms Cutler, a beautician, said: "It was horrible, what happened to Alan.
"I think it touched and affected everyone and I just wanted to help him. But receiving an award is surreal, I cried for three days when I found out.
"Since I started fundraising for Alan I've been contacted by individuals asking for help and businesses wanting to offer support, so I started the Katie Cutler Foundation as a way to continue the charity work.
"I've had to cut back on my business and it's been harder financially, but it's worth it for all the opportunities I've had and people I've met and been able to help.
"A lot of people have said to me I'm a role model. I've never been good at taking compliments but I think I've started to sort of accept it now."
Mr Barnes, whose disabilities were caused when his mother contracted German measles during pregnancy, said: "It's more than an award, it's an honour and something to live up to once all the publicity dies down.
"But I'm sure (Katie) will be able to manage and I'm happy for her."
Others in the North East recognised in the honours list include former Sunderland goalkeeper Jim Montgomery, who also received a British Empire Medal for services to football. | The woman whose internet appeal raised £300,000 for a mugged disabled pensioner has been recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. |
What is the brief summary of the provided content? | He made his comments during a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party on Wednesday.
Mr Kenny will travel to the US for the annual St Patrick's Day celebrations.
He will continue the tradition of presenting the US president with a shamrock.
There had been speculation he would face a motion of no confidence at the meeting but that did not happen.
The speculation was that a no confidence vote would result from his handling of a police whistleblower controversy.
The controversy began more than three years ago when two whistleblowers - Sgt Maurice McCabe and the now retired John Wilson - alleged there was widespread corruption with the Republic of Ireland's driving licence penalty points system.
A public inquiry is to be held into whether Sgt McCabe was falsely smeared by senior officers in the An Garda Síochána (police).
There will also be an independent review of police operations.
Questions had been raised about Mr Kenny's future arising from his government's handling of the Gardai whistleblower affair last week.
The Taoiseach had indicated that he would stand down as Fine Gael leader before the next general election but many in his party, were fearful last week that the country could face a general election because of the whistleblower affair with him still leader.
Mr Kenny received a standing ovation at tonight's short meeting, and faced no questions from his TDs, Senators and MEPs after he outlined his decision.
Last week, the Irish coalition government - which is made up of Fine Gael and the Independent Alliance - survived a vote of no confidence in the Irish parliament (Dáil).
The government won the motion by 57 votes to 52 votes and there were 44 abstentions.
The Fine Gael leader was re-elected as taoiseach (prime minister) in May 2016, 70 days after a general election which had produced no outright winner. He was the first Fine Gael taoiseach to be re-elected to office after a general election.
Mr Kenny became leader of Fine Gael in 2002 and was first elected taoiseach in 2011. | Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has said he will deal with the question of his leadership "effectively and conclusively" after returning from Washington next month. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | Nick Clegg's battlebus was hard to miss this afternoon when it arrived - in the middle of the road, naturally - at a Panasonic factory in Cardiff.
The deputy prime minister was given a factory tour where he met some apprentices, answered questions from workers - and made a pancake.
The end product looked good enough to eat although Mr Clegg did look rather uncomfortable in the kitchen - even with James Landale nowhere in sight.
The Lib Dems had chosen Panasonic as an example of a company that has a good record on apprentices and in the European Union.
Speaking to workers, he acknowledged that his "plucky, brave" (his words)decision to go into coalition had hit the Lib Dems in the polls.
When I asked him about his own poll ratings - as flat as a pancake - he told me that he wasn't a pollster, just a politician campaigning for his own values.
Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said people had thought Nick Clegg's Lib Dems didn't have the mettle or the guts to take tough decisions but had preferred to snipe from the sidelines.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The Jamaican, 27, has been with Puma since 2003, and last renewed what is considered to be the biggest sponsorship deal in athletics in 2010.
Bolt said he was proud to continue with Puma "for the years ahead".
He had earlier indicated he may retire after the 2016 Games, but recently said he may compete for a year after that.
There was no mention in the Puma announcement about any retirement plans.
Bolt has won six Olympic gold and eight World Championship gold medals to date. In addition, his time of 9.58 seconds in the 100 metres is the fastest run to date.
Puma chief executive Bjoern Gulden said the firm had supported Bolt since he was 16.
"He will play a crucial role in our future product concepts, as well as brand communications leading towards the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 and beyond," Mr Gulden added.
In addition to its contract with Usain Bolt, Puma has a longstanding commitment to Jamaican Track & Field.
The deal is a boost for Puma as it continues to take on bigger sportswear rivals Adidas and Nike.
Shahzad Shah, 56, died following an incident at Mirchi Indian takeaway in Mintlaw on Monday.

He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody. He is expected to appear again on 21 April.
The Nasa tribe had given the security forces an overnight deadline to leave.
They say they are tired of being caught in the middle of confrontations between the army and members of Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc.
The army said it had moved its men temporarily to avoid further clashes.
Army commander General Alejandro Navas said the soldiers were still on the mountain where they were based, but had moved further down its slope.
Local media described how some 1,000 Nasa surrounded the army post, grabbed one of the soldiers and carried him 10m (35 feet) down the mountain.
A soldier fired into the air to disperse the Nasa, who in turn threw soil at the armed forces.
The Nasa say 250 of them will stay on the top of the mountain to prevent the soldiers from returning.
Tension between the security forces and the indigenous groups around Toribio, in Cauca province, have been growing for the past week.
After days of attacks by Farc rebels on the police station in Toribio, the Nasa demanded the security forces and the rebels take their fight elsewhere.
They dismantled trenches erected by the security forces. They also marched on a rebel camp in the mountains and told the Farc to leave.
Defence Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon said the security forces would stay in the area and continue fighting the Farc.
Mr Pinzon said the government would continue dealing with the indigenous population through "dialogue and respect", but warned them not to break the law.
The steep mountainous area is a Farc stronghold and a key corridor for the trafficking of cocaine.
Indigenous groups say they are bearing the brunt of the fighting between the government forces and the rebels.
They say the presence of the security forces attracts the rebels, whose mortars often miss their intended targets and kill civilians.
They want to assume control of the area and guard it themselves. | Multiple Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has renewed his sponsorship deal with German kit-maker Puma until after the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Can you summarize this passage? | The film is based on Walter Isaacson's authorised biography and is unconnected to another proposed screen biopic, to which Ashton Kutcher has been linked.
West Wing creator Sorkin won an Oscar in 2011 for writing The Social Network.
Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal said there was "no writer working in Hollywood today who is more capable of capturing such an extraordinary life".
"In his hands, we're confident that the film will be everything that Jobs himself was: captivating, entertaining and polarising," she continued.
It was reported last month that Two and a Half Men actor Kutcher would play Jobs in a film directed by Joshua Michael Stern.
Production is scheduled to begin this month on the film said to follow Jobs' progression from "wayward hippie to revered creative entrepreneur".
Sorkin is the creator of upcoming HBO series The Newsroom, a behind the scenes look at a fictional cable news channel starring Jeff Daniels and Britain's Emily Mortimer.
He is also writing a new stage musical about the illusionist Harry Houdini, to open in Broadway in 2013 or 2014 with Hugh Jackman in the lead.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Ashley Talbot, 15, died at Maesteg Comprehensive School in December 2014 after a crash with a minibus driven by teacher Chris Brooks.
Mr Brooks was questioned by police but no action was taken.
Regular bus driver Hedley Williams told the inquest on Wednesday it had been an "accident waiting to happen".
The jury was shown CCTV footage of distressed children who saw the collision outside the school.
A statement from school bus driver Mr Williams said a lack of space in the parking bay meant two of the buses had to wait on the other side of the road.
The end of the school day was a "free-for-all" with children running across the road, the jury heard.
Mr Williams said he had raised concerns about safety but felt he had not been listened to.
"I approached teachers about it but they just shrugged their shoulders. I got the impression I needed to keep quiet as I was only a bus driver," he told the inquest.
He said that days before Ashley died, two pupils had walked in front of a minibus causing it to brake sharply.
Mr Williams said the bus bay had now been extended and there was a lockdown in vehicle movements at the end of the day.
In a statement to the inquest, Mr Brooks said he was travelling at a "safe and appropriate speed" on the day of the crash.
He said he saw something "appear very quickly" as Ashley and another boy emerged from between the buses.
He added: "Instantaneously there was a bang as an object hit the Peugeot. I saw it was a male pupil I recognised.
"In the same instant I heard a second bang, the passenger side rose up. I prayed it was (the first boy's) bag. There were milliseconds between the bangs. I braked hard and as quickly as I could."
PC Christopher Street, who conducted a forensic investigation of the scene, said minibus driver Mr Brooks would have had "less than a second to react" after Ashley and his friend ran out in front of the minibus.
The minibus was travelling between 14 and 17mph before the collision, PC Street told the jury.
A tunnel effect created by buses on both side of the road would have restricted Mr Brooks' view and there was no evidence to suggest the driver had been distracted.
PC Street said Ashley may have fallen as he tried to stop running.
The inquest continues.
They are without a win from their first two games - and fans chanted demanding Wenger open the club's chequebook before the transfer deadline.

"Spending the money itself is not a quality. Spending it to buy the right, top-quality player is the quality."

"I'm a bit fed up saying the same thing when people say we do not want to spend. We analyse everything then make the right signings."
Wenger added: "Nobody is speaking about the performance of Rob Holding. You should be happy because he's English, 20 years old - but I'm sorry he didn't cost £55m, so he can't be good." | Concerns had been raised about safety at a school in Bridgend county where a boy was later hit and killed by a minibus, an inquest has heard.

Write a summary of this document. | The 37-year-old was attacked outside the Turtle Bay bar and restaurant in Southampton's Guildhall Square at about 21:00 BST on Friday, police said.
An eyewitness said the male attacker, who fled towards Above Bar Street after the attack, appeared to know the woman.
Police described it as a "rare and isolated" attack. The victim was taken to Southampton General Hospital.
A fire crew was also sent to the scene to wash away the acid from the pavement.
Hampshire police is yet to release information about the woman's condition.
Adrian Rodgers, assistant general manager at Turtle Bay, helped give the woman first aid, which included rinsing the woman's face and mouth, before the ambulance arrived.
A statement from the company added: "The lady was not a customer of Turtle Bay, however, the manager on duty provided immediate assistance and emergency first aid whilst the emergency services were called.
"When they arrived they immediately took her to hospital to continue her treatment.

Summarize the provided section. | Scottish FA compliance officer Tony McGlennan has issued a notice of complaint against the manager.
McGhee is accused of using offensive, abusing and/or insulting language and gestures towards a match official.
He is also facing a charge of adopting aggressive behaviour towards an official.
McGhee's had until next Tuesday to respond to the complaint before a planned hearing on Thursday 16 March.
He was sent to the stand by referee Alan Muir in the 60th minute of Well's 7-2 thrashing by Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership with his side already trailing 4-0.
McGhee was given a three-match touchline ban in December after being found guilty of abusing referee John Beaton during a 2-0 defeat by Dundee.
One of those games was suspended pending any further breach.
Two further charges were dropped - adopting "aggressive behaviour towards a match official; and/or" adopting "aggressive behaviour towards a steward".
McGhee said he was "horrified" by the attitude of fourth official John McKendrick as he was sent to the stand at Pittodrie and hinted that there "is an agenda" by officials.
He said Motherwell wanted an explanation from the Scottish FA's head of referees, John Fleming, about recent decisions that have gone against his side.
Juma Munyankore, 25, and Hamza Mohumed, 24, carried out a "vicious, outrageous attack" which was seen by a child in a Coventry garden last September.
The pair were originally charged with attempted murder but the court accepted their guilty pleas to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Munyankore was jailed of 10 years, nine months and Mohumed for nine years, four months at Leamington Justice Centre.
Mohumed had entered a guilty plea to the lesser charge but Munyankore was handed a longer jail term at the hearing on Friday after admitting the offence on the fourth day of a trial.
Det Con Helen Keating, of West Midlands Police, said it was unclear what sparked the row between the two defendants and the 26-year-old victim they had known for seven years.
Doctors said he was "lucky to survive" his injuries to his chest and legs, with one wound puncturing one of his lungs, diaphragm and liver. They were inflicted by a half-moon shaped dagger.
"It was a vicious, outrageous attack in the middle of the afternoon and carried out just yards away from a young child," Det Con Keating said.
The victim, who had earlier gone to greet and shake hands with the pair as he walked to the barbecue, was airlifted to hospital after the afternoon attack on 11 September.
Officers found Mohumed, a Somalian national, hiding under a dressing gown at his home in The Bentree, in the Stoke area of Coventry, two days after the attack.
Meanwhile Munyankore, a Rwandan national, of Middleborough Road, Radford, was handed over to police by his mother hours after officers carried out a warrant at his home.
The 37-year-old Frenchman had been playing for the New York Red Bulls but left the club this month.
Henry, who also played for Juventus, Barcelona and Monaco, scored 175 Premier League goals and is fourth on the list of all-time scorers.

"I would like to thank all the fans, team-mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and of course the French national team that have made my time in the game so special," Henry said.
"I have had some amazing memories (mostly good!) and a wonderful experience.

What is the summary of the provided article? | Trading in MTN Group was halted in Johannesburg after the stock fell 8%.
Dealings later started again after the company said it was in talks with Nigerian authorities about reducing the record $5.2bn (£2.7bn) fine.
The sum amounts to double MTN's annual profits last year.
The Nigerian Communications Commission imposed the penalty for failing to cut off unregistered mobile users, giving MTN just two weeks to pay.
22%
of Nigeria's annual budget
Double MTN's annual group profits ($2.69bn after tax)
$80 for every single MTN customer in Nigeria
1.5x Nigeria's annual capital expenditure
95% of Nigeria's annual spend on servicing its national debt
The company said on Monday it was in talks with the Nigerian presidency, internal security agency and the communications regulator about the fine.
Chief executive Sifiso Dabengwa, who used to run the company's Nigerian operations, is understood to have flown to Abuja in a bid to negotiate a lower penalty.
Nigeria is MTN's biggest market, with 28.5 million subscribers, followed by Iran and South Africa.
The company's shares had fallen by about 25% since the fine was announced on Monday last week, wiping about 60bn rand (£2.7bn) off its market value, with the company now worth about £13bn.
The stock was down 5.5% after trading recommenced.
There's more to this story than meets the eye. It's not simply a case of a company failing foul of regulatory authorities and getting a slap on the wrist - some analysts say this $5.2bn slap is enough to break or seriously bruise MTN's wrist.
The fine was imposed because MTN failed to cut off unregistered SIM cards, which was regarded as crucial to limiting the communications of Nigeria's various armed criminal and terrorist groups.
It is thought that the kidnapping of a former finance minister, Chief Olu Falae, was the thin end of the wedge for the Nigerian authorities.
He was taken by armed men at the end of the September. It transpired that the phone the kidnappers were using to communicate their ransom demands had an unregistered SIM card from MTN.
That is when the Nigerian government is thought to have finally run out of patience with the mobile operator.
MTN has 231 million subscribers in 22 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
In September, the company was named as most admired brand in Africa in the Brand Africa 100 awards, beating Samsung, while it was also awarded the continent's most valuable brand - worth $4.6bn (£3bn).
MTN was South Africa's second mobile operator when it was set up in 1994 after the fall of apartheid.
It began its expansion across Africa four years later with operations in Rwanda, Uganda and Swaziland. | Share trading in MTN, Africa's biggest mobile operator, has restarted after earlier being suspended following a huge fine imposed by Nigerian authorities. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Buyer demand rose for the first time in seven months in September, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said.
It had dived in June and July during the height of the referendum battle and immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote.
The lack of properties coming onto the market means that prices have risen.
Members of Rics said that the average of 45 properties on estate agents books remained close to historic lows.
"The market does now appear to be settling down following the significant headwinds encountered through the spring and summer," said Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at Rics.
"Buyers do appear to be returning, albeit relatively slowly, but the big issue that continues to be highlighted by respondents is the lack of fresh stock on the market."
Over the next three months, surveyors predict that house prices will rise further on a national basis.
However, there remained a greater level of caution in central London where prices were expected to fall, albeit only modestly, over the same period, Rics said.
Recent surveys by mortgage lenders, the Halifax and Nationwide, suggested that annual increase in house prices had slowed in September compared with the previous month.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Silent Majority, painted during the 1998 Glastonbury Festival, shows soldier-like figures landing on a beach with a speaker in an inflatable raft.
Its Norfolk owners say it "depicts the ...rave and hip hop scene of the time".
The work is unusual for a Banksy piece, as it is largely freehand with little use of stencils.
Auction house Digard said it was thought to be one of the artist's oldest works.
The metal piece, painted over three days outside the festival's Dance Tent, measures 2.4m (7.8ft) by 9.9m (32ft).
Its message reads: "It's better not to rely too much on silent majorities ... for silence is a fragile thing... one loud noise and it's gone."
The elusive graffiti artist's team has provided a certificate of authenticity as part of the auction lot. It was painted in collaboration with fellow Bristol artist Inkie.
The owner, who prefers to be known by his first name, Nathan, said he organises infrastructure at festivals and lives in the trailer.
He said Banksy approached him in 1998 - before he rose to fame - to ask if he could use it as a canvas for a piece commissioned by the festival.
Nathan agreed, in return for some tickets and his expenses.
Now he says he has no definite plans for the proceeds although he may choose to build a house.
Street art specialist Mary McCarthy said the piece was "quite special" as an example of a Banksy work which did not rely heavily on stencils.

Ahead of the church service, family and friends of Mr Elwin marched against knife and gang crime.
They carried anti-knife placards and wore T-shirts bearing his picture.
Mr Elwin's older brother Byron Douglas-Letts said: "We're tired of hearing about youth getting killed on our streets.
"We want to send out a clear message that we're not going to stand for this, there needs to be something done. There's enough talking, we need to take action."
He said it was not down to just one parent, the schools, or the government, but instead the community had to take action.
Mentorships needed to be set up and young people needed to be given something to do, such as a job they could be passionate about, he added.
"These kids are lacking self-esteem, they're lacking confidence, they need to be shown that they're worth something."
He added: "Lewis was very, very determined and aspirational. He was a loving, caring guy.
"Sometimes he made wrong decisions but that doesn't mean he should lose his life."

The 21-year-old, who upset fifth seed Stan Wawrinka on Monday, lost 6-4 6-2 3-6 2-6 6-3 to Belgian Ruben Bemelmans.
The Russian led 2-0 in the decider but became angry at Alves' decisions as he lost five straight games and was docked a point by the umpire.
"I was just frustrated - it has no meaning, I apologise," said Medvedev.
As he was packing up, Medvedev took out his wallet and threw coins at the bottom of the umpire's chair as Alves departed. The world number 49 then left the court without retrieving the money.
He had asked for Alves to be removed in the fifth set but his request was turned down by the match supervisor. Medvedev claims he does not remember what he said during the match.
When asked whether he understood his actions could be interpreted as implying Alves was biased, Medvedev said: "I haven't thought about it and that's not why I did it.
"I was frustrated to lose the match - maybe there were some bad calls, it can happen in sports.

Medvedev added it was "not for me to decide" whether he will receive any sanction for his actions.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | A £2bn proposal, which includes a 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnel, was announced by the government in December, aimed at easing congestion on the nearby A303.
Dan Snow, Ruth Scurr and Tom Holland have now united with Stonehenge Alliance to oppose the plans, which they say "endanger" the ancient site.
But, the Department for Transport (DfT) said safeguarding it was essential.
"Stonehenge is one of Britain's greatest treasures and it is important to note that English Heritage and National Trust support our plans," said a DfT spokesman.
"It is essential that we ensure this site of cultural and historical significance is safeguarded as we progress with the upgrade.
"As with any road scheme, we will consult with interested parties before any building begins on the A303."
A similar scheme for the route, which links London and the South West, was dropped several years ago because of the cost.
However, there are growing concerns over congestion on the A303 which has been described as "highly detrimental" by English Heritage, which manages the monument.
But Stonehenge Alliance campaigners want "no further damage" to the world heritage site, which totals around 25 sq km (9.6 sq m) of chalkland, according to UNESCO.
Joining with them, Mr Snow - president of the Council for British Archaeology - said: "Of all our many treasures on these islands, none is more internationally revered than Stonehenge.
"We have recently started to realise that the standing stones are just a beginning, they sit at the heart of the world's most significant and best preserved Stone Age landscape. The government's plans endanger this unique site."
Ms Scurr added the proposal to widen the A303 would have a "destructive effect on the surroundings", with Mr Holland suggesting the battle against the plans was "an unending one".
Both English Heritage and the National Trust have given their support to the option of "the longest tunnel possible".
The director of the National Trust, Dame Helen Ghosh, and chief executive of English Heritage, Dr Simon Thurley, said no decisions had been made yet on possible locations, road alignment or design. | A campaign against the building of a road tunnel past Stonehenge has been backed by a trio of historians. |

The company said the staff involved had been due to finish in August and were recruited on a short-term basis.
The move is related to the decision by HMRC not to renew a call-handling contract with the company.
Concentrix was brought in to cut fraud and error in the benefit system.
However, hundreds of claimants claimed that it wrongly cut their payments.
Following the government's decision to end the contract earlier this month, a DUP MP claimed staff at the Belfast office learned of the move via social media.
The company employs 1,800 staff at its Belfast premises.
The contract awarded to Concentrix, worth between £55m and £75m on a payment-by-results basis, will come to an end in May 2017.
In the eight months until then, Concentrix will work on clearing outstanding cases, said HMRC.
The company took up the contract in May last year and had been tasked with trying to save the government more than £1bn in incorrect or fraudulent tax credit payments.
Concentrix said it had operated "within the guidance set by HMRC".
East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson said on Thursday that the loss of the temporary jobs at the Concentrix office was the "human cost" of HMRC's decision not to renew its contract.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster: "Concentrix have only ever done what they have been asked to do and yet HMRC have pinned all the blame on them."

Nay Lin of the BBC Burmese service was convicted by a court in Mandalay of assaulting a policeman during student protests in 2015.
A lawyer for the reporter said his client unintentionally hurt the officer while trying to help a protester who had been knocked off a motorbike.
The BBC said it was working with his lawyer to support his appeal.
Nay Lin was arrested on 27 March in Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city, as protesters demonstrated in support of students who had been detained the week before in the southern town of Letpadan.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | This time last year Samantha Simmons and her three sons from east London spent a precarious Christmas in a rented flat which their landlord was trying to sell.
Since summer 2013 the family had been bounced around a series of short lets and ended up camping in her mother's tiny living floor for five months after turning down "filthy" bed-and-breakfast accommodation, unsuitable for a young family.
"It was horrible. It was such a distressing and unsure time," Samantha remembers.
The only homes on offer then were in the midlands, hundreds of miles from extended family, support networks, jobs and schools.
Samantha turned them down.
"All my family support, my connections are here, everything," she told the council, which then offered her bed-and breakfast accommodation.
"The beds looked like they had been pulled off the street. It was vile. I didn't even want to breathe the air in there so I ran out of there with the baby," she recalls.
All this amounted to a refusal of accommodation, said the council and threatened to dismiss her case.
Samantha was distraught at no longer being able to provide for her family.
"I'd gone to work and we had a nice house. When we didn't have anything, it was devastating, it was horrible."
It was only after housing charity Shelter intervened that the council found her a short term let locally.
But it proved very short term, as the landlord decided to sell the property and Samantha and her family once again had to ask the council for help.
They were offered a housing association property in Tilbury, Essex and told they could take it or leave it - there was nothing else.
"I was crying my eyes out on the way there. It was such a long way away - but as soon as I arrived I loved it. I wanted to live there."
So the family are preparing for their first Christmas in what really is a permanent home.
The tree is up with presents underneath - a far cry from Christmas 2013 when they spent the day surrounded by boxes, ready for imminent eviction - and from last year when they were comfortable but uneasy.
The family are slowly putting down roots in Tilbury - though it has not been as smooth as they had hoped.
Living apart from extended family and friends has left Samantha in particular feeling isolated.
She would like to take a part time job or do a college course once her youngest son, Nester, now two, goes to nursery.
Nester is entitled to 15 hours a week free nursery care under a government scheme - but there are no places available at any local nurseries, says Samantha.
"It would open up my connections and social life, rather than sitting indoors and feeling a bit like a zombie."
Eldest son Boris, now 13, is still attending his original secondary school in London's Canning Town.
He tried commuting but the journey was "long and tiring", he says.
So he stays with his grandma, who lives near the school, during the week, coming home at weekends, in the school holidays and occasionally during the week when the family can afford the train fare.
This separation has proved stressful: "The boys have lost their bond and Nester is asking where Boris is," says Samantha.
But despite this, she is reluctant to move him as he is doing very well and the school is rated "good" by Ofsted.
She is hoping Alex, now 11, will follow him in September.
"I will pass on some of the child benefit to my mum. I would feel a failure for not getting them the best education".
Alex, who started at a Tilbury primary school half way through Year 6, is not so sure: "I would rather be where my mates are going."
But, with the family all together for Christmas and despite the complications, Samantha is "really happy living in this house - the first house I have ever had".
In the summer she says they grew tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and flowers in the back garden and took trips to the seaside at Shoeburyness and Southend with her mother when they could afford it.
"I am so grateful for it. If I could pick it up and put it right next to my mum's I'd be totally happy," says Samantha. | With the homeless number of children at a seven year high, the BBC revisits a family who have finally found a permanent home after a two year struggle. |

Write a summary for this information. | Rovers scored two goals in two minutes to end their run of four consecutive draws, lifting themselves out of the bottom four in League One.
Swindon's Lloyd Jones, who missed the defeat to Bury due to suspension, bundled in a Yaser Kasim corner to give his side the early lead.
Rovers went in search of an equaliser and Chris Lines' free-kick was tipped on to the bar by goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.
Midfielder Ollie Clarke thought he had levelled the scores for his team in the second half, but he was denied by the post after his shot had the Swindon goalkeeper beaten.
Rovers were awarded a penalty in the closing 10 minutes after Raphael Rossi Branco fouled Easter and Matty Taylor made no mistake from the spot to score his sixth goal of the season.
Clumsy defending from Swindon saw Branco turn Easter's cross into the back of the net for the winner moments later.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The case was brought by a teenage girl and her mother who live in Northern Ireland.
Unlike the rest of the UK, abortion is only allowed in very restricted circumstances in Northern Ireland.
The appeal was dismissed on Wednesday.
The Court of Appeal also refused leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Last year it was ruled that women from Northern Ireland are not legally entitled to free abortions on the NHS in England,
More than 1,000 women each year travel from Northern Ireland to have an abortion in other parts of the UK.
Those who do travel must pay for their transport, accommodation and the cost of the procedure.
The court heard the total cost is around £900.
The case was brought by the girl, who was 15 at the time (claimant A), and whose identity cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
After becoming pregnant, she travelled to England with her mother (claimant B) in October 2012.
The court was previously told her mother had struggled to part-raise funds to pay for her daughter to have a termination privately in England.
Abortion law in Northern Ireland meant it was impossible to have the termination there.
In his judgement last year, Mr Justice King, said the differences in the legal position had "not surprisingly led to a steady stream" of pregnant women from Northern Ireland travelling to England to access abortion services not available to them at home.
But he ruled that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's duty to promote a comprehensive health service in England "is a duty in relation to the physical and mental health of the people of England", and that duty did not extend "to persons who are ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland".
The judge, in his ruling, said that devolutionary powers have to be taken into consideration.
Because Northern Ireland is not covered by the 1967 Abortion Act, which applies in the rest of the UK, the judge ruled this was not a discrimination issue. | Two women have lost their legal challenge at the Court of Appeal to the Health Secretary's policy of not allowing abortions on the NHS for women who travel to England and Wales from Northern Ireland. |

Summarize the provided section. | However, this celebration of Sunday night's surprise victory over hosts France wasn't on the streets of Lisbon, Porto or Setúbal.
This party was on the streets of Dungannon, County Tyrone.
Among those who took to the streets was 17-year-old Luciano Joao, who has been living in Dungannon since he was 10.
He watched the game at home, then made his way to the town centre where he estimated about 150 Portugal fans were enjoying the country's first ever European Championship.
"Once the match was over and Portugal got the trophy, we all just went out. I called a couple of friends and went up the town and once I was there, there were already all these people out partying," Luciano said.
"It was just completely different from anything else. Just full of delight really."
He said some local Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland fans joined in the celebrations, as did many members of Dungannon's East Timorese community.
Luciano said that while he was optimistic ahead of the game, Christiano Ronaldo's early exit through injury put serious doubts in his mind.
He also admitted that Portugal's indifferent start to the tournament was not inspiring.
"We didn't start off too well, but we got there in the end," he said.
"It was quite a bit of a surprise though."
The celebrations continuing into the early hours of Monday with some fans not getting to bed until about 05:00 BST.
One fan explained to the BBC why he was having trouble speaking the day after the victory.
"Last night I jumped like crazy, I run like crazy and today my voice is gone," he said.
"But no problem, it'll come back again."
Ulster Unionist councillor Walter Cuddy, who runs a newsagents shop in the town, said it was great to see the Portuguese celebration.
"There were a lot of men and women going to work early in the morning that called into the shop and they were still on a high, they obviously were celebrating right through the night," he said.
"We probably have representatives from most countries in Europe here - we are an industrial town - but it's great to see people getting on and everybody was pleased for them." | Flag-waving Portuguese fans throng the town centre, waving their national flags as they celebrate their team becoming Euro 2016 champions. |

Provide a brief summary of this section. | Liam Boyce's penalty put County in charge in Dingwall before Staggies captain Andrew Davies added another from Jonathan Franks' pass.
Dundee United fought back after the interval through Sean Dillon's drive from outside the box and Blair Spittal hit the crossbar.
But County held on and Jackson Irvine and Franks both had efforts blocked.
The victory for Jim McIntyre's side makes it three league wins in the first month of the season, the first time the Highlanders have hit that mark prior to Christmas in their four seasons in the top flight.
In contrast, the struggling Taysiders have made their worst start to a season in 12 years, with four points from six matches.
Billy McKay went straight into the Dundee United starting line-up after completing his season-long loan from English League One side Wigan Athletic.
The hope was the striker could reproduce the form that saw him score 62 goal in 141 games for Inverness Caley Thistle and compensate for the loss of Nadir Ciftci to Celtic.
That, and the other players who have been sold by the Tannadice club in recent times, clearly still annoys their supporters who let chairman Stephen Thompson know what they thought of him early on.
The travelling fans were unhappy when referee Craig Thomson awarded County a controversial penalty after 17 minutes for handball against Mark Durnan.
It looked as though the former Queen of the South defender was pushed onto the ball by one of the Staggies players, but Thomson thought otherwise.
Boyce celebrated his return to the Northern Ireland squad for next week's Euro 2016 qualifiers by ramming in the spot kick for his fifth goal in the last four matches.
Ryan Dow twice raced clear but the visitors' slack finishing was nothing compared to their poor defending as the Dingwall side moved two goals clear.
Ryan McGowan got back to make a goal-line clearance to deny Franks but from the winger's resulting corner Davies was allowed the space to clip in the Staggies' second after 28 minutes.
United were much more aggressive after the break and Dillon brought them right back into the game with a goal that was as spectacular as it was rare from their captain.
There seemed little threat when he picked up possession 30 yards from goal but the Irishman lashed home a stunning shot for only his sixth strike in eight years at Tannadice.
Spittal then went within the width of the crossbar of levelling the match with a curling free-kick from 25 yards that beat Scott Fox but not the frame of the goal. | Two first-half goals helped Ross County to three Premiership points as Dundee United's troubles continue. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | But the unexpected speed with which fighting broke out on Monday means there are still hundreds of families trapped inside their homes, unable to do anything but listen to the sound of gunfire and falling bombs.

Student Milad, 19, had only come to visit family but is now unable to escape because of the intense fighting just a few hundred metres from his home.
"The situation here's really bad - we wanted to get out and go to Kabul but there are Taliban checkpoints on the way so we decided to stay in.
"The Taliban are only a couple of roads away from us - they're 300 metres away to be precise.
"We have been stuck in the basement of our house for the past three days. We hardly go up to the house because there is firing and bullets and we don't want to risk getting shot at.

But this would now be an "enormous mistake" in Brexit negotiations.
Speaking in two national newspapers on Monday, Mr Hogan also said "Brexit is a mess and getting messier".
Writing in The Irish Times, he said: "There is a real risk that Ireland could allow our relationship with Europe to be defined by our relationship with the UK, which would be an enormous mistake in my view.
"Instead, we should have the confidence and direction to recognise that post-Brexit Ireland will need to have in place a wholly different set of relationships with our EU partners."
He also said the country needed to protect its trading ties with the UK and "manage how Brexit impacts on the island as a whole".
In the Irish Independent, he warned that if the UK leaves the EU single market then "a hard border" with Northern Ireland looked inevitable.
He said avoiding such a scenario centred on the EU treating the entire island as a special case and single unit.

"My actions were out of frustration and emotion, period," tweeted Rondo.
"They absolutely do not reflect my feelings toward the LGBT community. I did not mean to offend or disrespect anyone."

"Throughout his 18-year career with the league, Bill has excelled as a referee because of his passion, dedication and courage. Those qualities will continue to serve him well both as a game official and as a positive influence for others."

The 23-year-old Bulgarian, seeded 10th, won their quarter-final tie at the All England Club in straight sets, with Murray, 27, well below his best.
They will meet on Sunday at around 09:30 GMT, with a place in the last eight at stake.
"That day it was not him out there. I think we all know that," said Dimitrov.
"You hardly ever see top players feel really flat early on in a match. It's a different scenario this time."
Murray made 37 errors as he lost in a little over two hours on Centre Court, and Dimitrov said afterwards that he had known from the knock-up that all was not well.

The Scot was still searching for his very best tennis following back surgery, and had just begun working with coach Amelie Mauresmo following the departure of Ivan Lendl.
Both those issues are long since resolved, and Dimitrov added: "I think he has a lot to look forward to.
"Adding up the new team, it's all fresh. I think it's going to give him a bit more excitement to compete, which I'm certainly aware of.
"But at the same time, I feel that I'm pretty stable around me as well. The only thing I can do is get out there and play my tennis."
Murray, 27, holds a 4-2 lead over Dimitrov in previous meetings and won impressively when the pair last met at the Paris Masters indoor event in November.
That result helped the Briton, seeded sixth in Melbourne, put the disappointment of his Wimbledon defeat behind him.
"I try to look forward," Murray told BBC Sport. "It happens in every job, every part of life - sometimes you have bad days.
"I don't feel like I played my best tennis that day. The first week of Wimbledon I played some really good tennis, it was just unfortunate.
"I've trained hard, I've prepared well to get ready for this event and this year. I feel like I've played some good tennis so far. Hopefully I'll do the same on Sunday."

Michael McDonald, 25, of Tennyson Road, Chelmsford, will serve a minimum of 17 years after killing Brian Hurry at his home in Great Baddow in June 2016.
He died from head injuries after McDonald hit him several times with the metal bar of a dumbbell.
It happened after McDonald saw his mother "appearing to have sex" with her father-in-law, Mr Hurry.
Police said the court was told that seeing his mother, Terri Hurry, 42, apparently having sex with Mr Hurry had led McDonald to "lose control".
The judge at Chelmsford Crown Court described the attack at Mr Hurry's home in Bramwoods Road as "brutal" during his sentencing on Tuesday.
"What is certain is that you, Michael McDonald, took that metal bar into the bathroom and set upon Brian Hurry, hitting him about the head with such force and strength that you smashed his skull in, driving it into the brain by an inch," Judge Charles Gratwicke said.
It was "an appalling attack committed by a trusted family member on a vulnerable elderly man in his own home", Det Ch Insp Martin Pasmore, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said.
McDonald had previously admitted the manslaughter of Brian Hurry, but denied murdering him.
However, after a five-week trial a jury at Chelmsford Crown Court convicted him of murder.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Delays to Common Agricultural Policy payments meant some farmers had to sell livestock to pay bills, they say.
Only 38% of England's farmers were paid on the first day possible in 2015 - in other years it had been more than 90%.
The government said major progress had since been made and it had met its 2017 target to pay 93% of farmers by March.
On 1 January 2015, the Common Agricultural Policy Basic Payment Scheme replaced the previous Single Payment Scheme - bringing with it new requirements.
The Rural Payments Agency, which distributes EU funds to farmers, went from an "all time high" - paying out 95% of farmers on day one of the scheme in December 2014 - to paying out just 38% of farmers on 1 December 2015.
By the end of March 2016, only 84% of farmers had been paid - meaning some 14,300 farmers had received no payment.
Some were still owed more than 1,000 euros (£850) nine months after they could first have been paid.
Delays were blamed on changes to the CAP scheme and a problematic IT system.
Applications had to be processed on paper, because an online application system was not ready, which "introduced a significant amount of errors... despite farmers submitting appropriate evidence".
And new requirements under the CAP meant the agency did not hold the more detailed level of information about what type of land farmers had.
Payments made to flood-affected farmers in North Yorkshire and Cumbria had also "lagged behind the rest of England until June 2016", the MPs said.
The Public Accounts Committee report said: "The department's record of failure when developing systems to support subsidy payments to farmers does not inspire confidence in its ability to cope with the challenges associated with Brexit that lie ahead."
It called on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to use better data and to make sure "accurate, full payments are made in a timely manner".
The committee heard that some farmers had needed to take out bank loans or sell livestock to cover their costs because payments had been delayed.
The government was also criticised for the high number of "disallowance penalties" - fines imposed by the European Commission for late or inaccurate payments or other failures to meet the rules.
England has already incurred £642m in the penalties - about 2.98% of the total value of payments made since 2005, the fourth highest in the EU.
The committee's deputy chairman, Richard Bacon, described the late payment of subsidies as "a sorry affair".
He said: "Farmers have suffered badly from the collapse in service levels, and government has done too little to help them cope with the fallout."
EU subsidies account for about 50% of British farm incomes.
The government has promised to match EU subsidies until 2020.
Mr Bacon added: "If farmers are to be properly supported through Brexit and beyond, it is vital their interests are represented at senior level.
"In particular, the RPA must be at the table during discussions of any future subsidy payment scheme."
A Defra spokesman said: "The Common Agricultural Policy is a complex and bureaucratic scheme.
"The UK government is working to improve the system and ensure farmers get the support they are entitled to.
"We have made major progress - this year the Rural Payments Agency has already met its target to pay 93% of farmers by March 2017, and it is working hard to get outstanding payments into bank accounts.
"We are leaving the European Union.
"This represents one of many opportunities to design a better system which supports farmers and our agricultural economy, and cut unnecessary red tape." | The government's failure to pay EU subsidies on time or help farmers hit hard by delays raises doubts about its ability to cope with Brexit, MPs say. |

It means they will continue to submit annual plans for government approval.
Together, the four boards overspent by a total of almost £120m last year.
Each is also already subject to an increased level of Welsh Government control and scrutiny.
Betsi Cadwaldr in north Wales - in special measures, the highest level of government intervention - "continues to face a number of service and performance challenges, which require ongoing support", Mr Gething said.
Meanwhile the Hywel Dda board, serving south west Wales, "faces ongoing strategic, service and financial challenges".
In south Wales, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg and the Cardiff and Vale boards also face performance and financial challenges.
According to the statement, the four boards will continue to get extra support from Welsh Government officials with the aim of being able to submit three-year plans this time next year.
Meanwhile the minister has approved the three-year plans covering 2017 to 2020 of six other NHS organisations.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The devaluation of the currency, against both the dollar and the euro, has been the major event, post-referendum.
Put simply, it has made things more expensive, from the goods we import to the cost of a foreign holiday.
It comes as the negotiations on the UK's exit from the European Union begin in Brussels.
Against the euro, the pound has dropped 12% since last June, and at one point in October it hit a six-year low against its neighbouring currency.
"I think consumers are very much aware of where things are now," said Brian Telford, head of markets at Danske Bank in Belfast.
Sterling's depreciation is central to the rising cost of living.
Last June, inflation was 0.5% - now it is 2.9%, overtaking many people's pay rises.
Clothing, energy and food are all more expensive than a year ago.
"The weekly shop is costing a little bit more than it used to because an awful lot of what we buy comes from somewhere else," said Mr Telford.
There is a flip-side, but one likely to provide much comfort to customers.
Many visitors have increased spending power - their dollars or euros are going much further - and tourism in Northern Ireland is prospering.
Local manufacturers are also exporting at record levels.
Rising sales are linked to their goods now being cheaper in our major markets, Europe and the United States.
Economist Neil Gibson believed the pound "was probably over-valued" before the referendum.
"Ultimately as a region we need to export more and balance away from more consumer spending.
"In a long-run this is a welcoming re-balancing in the currency, but that does not make it any less challenging for people as they go out to spend in the shops," he added.
The pound's fortunes in the short-to-mid-term will continue to be tied-up in Brexit, with the money markets responding to the kind of trade deal the UK finally emerges with.

The 146-year-old club have released a statement saying that a "change of control" to allow brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li to take over has been conditionally approved.
The pair began negotiations with Reading's Thai owners in November.
The Premier League, who have a say in takeovers of clubs who could compete in their league, are said to be cautious.
Yongge failed in an attempt to buy Hull City in September after reportedly not meeting the Football Association's fit and proper persons test.
The club statement released on Sunday evening said: "Upon receipt of a letter on Friday from Shaun Harvey, the Chief Executive of the EFL, Reading Football Club can now confirm that an application for a proposed change of control at the club has been conditionally approved.
"The club will now spend the coming weeks working diligently with the EFL, our current shareholders and both to ensure the application meets those specific conditions and all the relevant EFL regulations."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Seasonally adjusted exports fell 2.6% compared with the month before, the biggest monthly drop since August 2015.
The figures from Destatis followed economic data that painted a gloomy picture for German manufacturing.
Industrial orders barely rose in July and output fell the most in nearly two years.
Germany's economy is powered by its historically strong trade with other countries, and despite the slowdown the country still posted a €19.4bn trade surplus in July.
Demand for goods from Europe's biggest economy dropped the most from countries outside the EU.
Exports to so-called "third countries", which include China, Russia, Japan and the US, fell by 13.8% compared with July 2015.
German exports to EU countries outside the eurozone, which includes Britain, dropped by 8.8%.
"The month of July was clearly not a good month for Germany," ING economist Carsten Brzeski said, adding that the surprisingly weak trade figures added to growth concerns.
"A further cooling of the economy in the months ahead should give more support to just-started discussions about fiscal stimulus," Mr Brzeski said.
Commerzbank economist Ralph Solveen said the drop in exports mainly reflected factors such as more holidays falling in July.
"However, exports certainly won't be the driver of the German economy in the coming months," Mr Solveen said. "There is the sluggish global economy and the effects from the weaker euro are also fading."
Imports fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.7% in July compared with the previous month.
Simon Brown is travelling to Illinois with the Blind Veterans UK charity to share best practice methods with their American counterparts.
The travelling group will meet with 11 veterans of the US Operation Iraqi Freedom injured during the Iraq war.
Mr Brown, from Morley, was blinded in 2006 during a rescue mission in Basra.
Mr Brown, 37, was a corporal in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers when he was shot in the face by a sniper, the bullet destroying his left eye and damaging his right eye.
Back in the UK his cheekbones and nose had to be reconstructed using titanium, his jaw broken and remoulded and a prosthetic eye fitted.
He is one of six members of Blind Veterans UK taking part in the week-long trip to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Central Blind Rehabilitation Center, near Chicago.
Speaking about his American counterparts, he said: "We've been fighting together since World War One and if we can fight together we can get better together."
He added: "We will be sitting through a normal week of their rehabilitation programme and our role will be about giving feedback about any changes that could be made and things that we thought were good.
"In the UK we are very strong on the emotional side of support and they are very much more about practical support in America.
"That's what we're taking out there, that more personal touch."
The trip is the sixth organised between Blind Veterans UK and the Blinded Veterans Association.
Mr Brown, who works as a communication and engagement officer for Blind Veterans UK , said the support the organisations offer is vital to helping service men and women recover.
"It's given me my life back," he said. "They took me from a coma to full-time work in the space of six years. For people like me the support they offer is a lifeline."

Please summarize the given passage. | Rowan Fitzgerald was on the upper deck when the vehicle crashed into a supermarket in the city centre on 3 October.
The other person killed was 76-year old pedestrian Dora Hancox, whose funeral was held on Tuesday.
The service for Rowan was held at St Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Leamington Spa.
His coffin, made from in white cedarwood with his name on the side, lay alongside football-themed tributes for the Coventry City fan.
A minute's applause was held ahead of Coventry City's match against Blackpool earlier this month.
Rowan's family, from Leamington Spa, have described him as "an adorable caring person" whose "cheeky smile lit up any room".
Why was it that the same brand of fish fingers had more fish in neighbouring Austria, he asked.
Mr Fico said it was a serious problem that he would raise with Czech, Polish and Hungarian leaders on Wednesday.
If the European Commission fails to act, he has threatened import restrictions from other EU countries.
"We have to defend ourselves, we can't accept this," he said on Tuesday, describing the issue as a scandal. Alongside the fish fingers lay packets of fabric softener and coffee.
Any boycott of products from another EU member state would violate competition rules but the Slovak leader said he would be compelled to act if the Commission did not. As a last resort, he would consider a citizens' initiative of a million signatures.
A senior EU official said this week she would do all she could to fight against a "double-standard market".
Mr Fico's complaints about food quality chime across the four Visegrad states in Central Europe.
Earlier this year Czech Agriculture Minister Marian Jurecka told the BBC that one brand of iced tea sold in Germany had 40% more tea extract than the same sold in the Czech market. He made a similar complaint about lunch meat.

Hungary's food safety authority, Nebih, found earlier this year that a chocolate spread and a packet of wafers were of a different quality to those sold in Austria.
Polish business website Gazeta Prawna even asked whether it was a case of "food racism".
While companies are free to sell food with different ingredients if they are correctly labelled, more importantly they are also required to be fair to consumers under EU rules.
A European Commission spokesman said the evidence so far suggested there was no systematic attempt by producers and retailers to vary food quality for different states. The problem was limited to certain products, he told the BBC.
EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said on Monday she would start a dialogue with producers and retailers as many people felt they were being treated as second-class consumers.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | The London-based hub will include a team of five officers who will support victims and identify online abuse.
The two-year pilot will cost £1.7m and has received £452,000 from the Home Office, the London Mayor's office said.
A spokesman said there was "no place for hate" in London and there would be a "zero tolerance" of online abuse.
The team, which will be set up in the coming months, will identify the location of crimes and allocate them to the appropriate force. They will work with a team of volunteers.
The Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (Mopac) said social media "provides hate crime perpetrators with a veil of anonymity, making it harder to bring them to justice and potentially impacting on a larger number of people".
Victims can become "isolated, living in fear of the online behaviour materialising in the real world", it said, adding that the general police response to online hate crime was "inconsistent".
The team will also assist in training police officers and community groups in how to identify, report and challenge abuse.
A Mopac spokesperson said it was the first time a "dedicated police team" had been set up to detect and respond to hate crimes.
"Community groups in London have told us that online hate crime is an issue of increasing concern to them, and one for which the police response has in the past been inconsistent," the spokesman added.
In March, the government announced Mopac had been successful in its bid for £452,000 of Home Office funding.

Warren Blake, 18, and Tevin Birmingham, 21, have denied the murder of Andrew McGowan, who was stabbed to death in a Great Yarmouth flat.
Norwich Crown Court heard Mr Blake's then girlfriend said he had a knife which was about 15cm long.
Mr McGowan bled to death in a flat in Dickens Court on 14 November.
Prosecutor Andrew Radcliffe said the flat was well-known as a place where drugs were dealt. Mr Blake, of Thorncliffe Road, south London; and Tevin Birmingham, of Spring Road, Ipswich; went there to sell them.
Mr McGowan was stabbed five times, once in the front by a knife that pierced his lung and heart, and four times in the back, Mr Radcliffe said.
The trial continues.
Wada said it was suspending the Doha laboratory's accreditation until it improved standards.
It is the seventh of 34 Wada-accredited labs to lose its status this year.
"The decision to suspend the laboratory is a direct result of the more stringent quality assessment procedures," Wada said
It added it wanted to "ensure laboratories maintain the highest standards" so that that "athletes can have full confidence".
The suspension, which took effect on 7 November, prohibits the Doping Analysis Laboratory from carrying out any anti-doping activities including all analyses of urine and blood samples.
The laboratory can appeal against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 21 days.
In June, Rio's anti-doping laboratory was suspended by Wada just six weeks before the Brazilian city hosted the Olympic Games, though it has since been restored. And in November 2015 the Moscow Anti-doping Centre was suspended amid allegations of doping. It has since had its accreditation revoked.

Write a summary of this document. | A boy aged 16 and an 18-year-old man have been arrested over the incident which happened in the Cutts area of Dunmurry on Sunday morning.
Insp Jim McGrillen said the taxi driver picked up two passengers in Divis Street, west Belfast, at 04:45 GMT.
He said one of them had a machete and an attempt was made to force the taxi driver from his vehicle.
The officer said two teenagers were arrested a short distance away on suspicion of attempted hijacking.
"The machete has been recovered by police and has been seized for examination," he added.
Professor of social work Ray Jones told the Education Committee family support services were being "decimated" because of council cuts.
He cited predictions of a 71% cut in funding to family support and early intervention services in England.
The government said it was up to councils to set local services.
"Councils are ultimately responsible for deciding what services are needed in their area, and we are giving them almost £200bn to spend on local services by 2020 to support this," said a spokeswoman.
But Prof Jones said ongoing cuts were putting pressure on the child protection system.
He said early intervention and family support services should be retained rather than cut.
"Children's centres are closing, funding for voluntary organisations like Home Start is being turned off," he said.
"The consequence is that we are escalating children and families into the child protection proceduralisation and bureaucracy, because this is the only resource we have for those children.
"It's threatening for families and children, it's demoralising for social workers, and we are overheating the child protection system."
His comments were backed up by councillor Roy Perry, chairman of the children and young people board of the Local Government Association.
He said: "Prevention is clearly better than cure, so putting money into early services is important.
"In my council, and in councils across England, there's a lot of worry that there's less resources available for youth work, youth clubs, family support work and children's centres, and that is an issue.
"The resources need to be targeted and focused more closely."
He said: "The issue now is that councils are having to protect their investment in child social workers and social work teams, but that does mean that there are frankly less resources available for those other activities."
Prof Jones was citing figures from the Losing in the Long Run report, jointly published by Action for Children, Children's Society and National Children's Bureau earlier this month.
It suggests funding from central government for early intervention projects, such as teenage pregnancy support, respite care for disabled children and family and support services, would see cuts from £1bn to £3.2bn over the next four years.
Although local authorities will gain powers to pay for services through local business taxes, most councillors surveyed for the report feared there would be cuts to these services.
The government spokeswoman said statutory guidance made it clear councils should work closely with other services to identify, as early as possible, children who may be at risk.
"Funding for children's services, including the early intervention grant, is non-ring-fenced to give local authorities the flexibility to focus on locally determined priorities," she added. | Teenagers armed with a machete have attempted to hijack a taxi on the outskirts of Belfast, police have said.

Please summarize the given passage. | The body of Andrew Bow, 36, was discovered on 23 March 2016.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) found officers were not sent to his home on four occasions when concerns were raised.
Police Scotland apologised to Mr Bow's family for "shortcomings" over the events surrounding his death.
Commissioner Kate Frame said it was not possible to say whether he would have been found alive if there had been an earlier response.
The investigation centred on Police Scotland's handling of telephone calls about Mr Bow's welfare in the week before his body was found.
The control room at Bilston Glen had previously been criticised in 2015 following the deaths of John Yuill and Lamara Bell, who lay undiscovered for days after a crash on the M9 near Stirling despite a sighting of their wrecked car being reported to the control room.
Mr Bow, who had Asperger's Syndrome, was last seen by police officers on 12 March last year when they found him in a confused and paranoid state.
The Pirc report said staff at the City of Edinburgh Council had sent a report to Police Scotland on 16 March asking for checks to be carried out following reports that the windows in his flat were broken. However, no action was taken.
Five days later, a local shopkeeper called 999 to report the broken windows and offered to help police find the house, due to the confusing house numbering system in the area.
However, area control room (ACR) staff at Bilston Glen did not send officers to the scene as they did not consider that any police resources were available at that time.
The shopkeeper contacted the control room again the following morning, and again staff decided that no police resources were available to be dispatched.
Later that same day another neighbour contacted the control room to raise concerns for Mr Bow's welfare.
Pirc said: "At this point, ACR staff were aware of the two previous un-actioned 999 calls and of concerns being expressed for the occupant to the effect that he may have 'hurt himself' or 'committed suicide'.
"Again, no officers were sent to Mr Bow's flat at that time."
On 23 March, a police sergeant in the Edinburgh area read details of the incident on the police system and decided to send officers to Mr Bow's flat.
They forced entry and found Mr Bow dead inside. The post-mortem examination was unable to provide an estimated time, date or cause of death.
In her findings, the commissioner said: "It is particularly concerning that despite several members of the public contacting the police to express their concerns, Police Scotland appear to have taken no action in relation to the first approach and thereafter in response to the subsequent calls, failed to dispatch officers who were available, timeously, to investigate.
"Whilst there may have been confusion in identifying the correct address from the original report, the person who contacted the police on the second occasion offered to remain at his premises and point out the flat to officers.
"Had that opportunity been taken, the police would have been able to identify the deceased's flat and investigate matters sooner."
She added: "Since it has not been possible to establish precisely when Andrew Bow died, it is not certain whether an earlier response by police could have led to him being found alive and his life saved.
"I have made a number of recommendations to the chief constable to ensure the handling of calls by staff at Bilston Glen are managed better, within the required timescales and that all available officers are sent to priority calls, especially those of concern about a vulnerable person."
Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Nelson Telfer said the force had made "significant changes and improvements" since the incident.
"Even after the passage of time, our thoughts remain with Andrew's family and friends," Mr Telfer said.
"We do, however, note the recommendations within the Pirc report and acknowledge the fact that there were some shortcomings in relation to the events that led to Andrew's death in March 2016. We would like to offer our sincere apologies to Andrew's family and friends for that.
"We must learn from these findings to further improve our call handling and management and deployment of local policing resources." | The police watchdog has highlighted failings in the way police responded to concerns about a vulnerable man who was later found dead in his Edinburgh home. |

Zaidi did not hear the alleged comments which were reported by non-striker Michael Vardy and umpire Alex Wharf.
Overton has denied the claims but Zaidi said: "For the sake of the game he should apologise to me."
Somerset have said the player, along with the county's officials, had written an apology to Sussex and it was accepted.
The 21-year-old, who has been part of England's one-day squad and came close to selection for the winter Test tour to South Africa, was found guilty of a level one offence for abusive language.
It was Overton's third offence of the season and took him to over nine penalty points, meaning an automatic two-game suspension was imposed.
However, Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale received a four-match suspension for a similar offence in 2014. Gale was also stopped from lifting the Championship trophy.
The England and Wales Cricket Board have defended their handling of the case.
"I am not in a position to say whether he was treated leniently but I am sure he could have had a harsher punishment," Zaidi told the Daily Telegraph.
Zaidi was released by Sussex at the end of the season.
McIlroy, 26, ended the day on four under par after an even-par round of 72, which left him six shots behind leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.
The Northern Irishman made four bogeys on the outward nine and slipped back to level par with a fifth at the 11th.
He salvaged the situation with birdies on the 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th holes.
Cabrera-Bello, the 2012 champion, carded a second consecutive 67, while England's Danny Willett (65) and Ernie Els (67) were tied for second on nine under.
"I struggled in the wind a little bit," McIlroy told the European Tour website.
"I didn't get off to the best of starts again. The middle of the round was tough but I bounced back well and persevered and got something out of the round."
McIlroy bogeyed his opening hole for the second day running and then tossed away his ball after three-putting the fourth on his way to reaching the turn at three over for the day.
A three-putt bogey on the 11th then saw McIlroy slip back to level par and outside the projected cut, and it required a testing putt to avoid the same fate on the next before a run of birdies rescued his round.
"I was definitely thinking about (missing the cut), especially over the putt on 12," added McIlroy.
"If I missed that and went one over for the tournament it would have been a long way back.
"I've come back from bigger deficits than this and if I can get off to a faster start tomorrow, you never know."

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Des destinees de l'ame (Destinies of the Soul) has been housed at Houghton Library since the 1930s.
Writer Arsene Houssaye is said to have given the book to his friend, Dr Ludovic Bouland, in the mid-1880s.
Dr Bouland then reportedly bound the book with skin from the body of an unclaimed female patient who had died of natural causes.
"The analytical data, taken together with the provenance of Des destinees de l'ame, make it very unlikely that the source could be other than human," Bill Lane, the director of the Harvard Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Resource Laboratory, told the Houghton Library Blog.
The practice of binding books in human skin - termed anthropodermic bibliopegy - has been reported since as early as the 16th Century.
Numerous 19th Century accounts exist of the bodies of executed criminals being donated to science, their skins later given to bookbinders.
Located within Des destinees de l'ame is a note written by Dr Bouland, stating no ornament had been stamped on the cover to "preserve its elegance".
"I had kept this piece of human skin taken from the back of a woman," he wrote. "A book about the human soul deserved to have a human covering."
The book, said to be a meditation on the soul and life after death, is believed to be the only one bound in human skin at Harvard.

Mr Tazhayakov's student visa had been terminated by the time he arrived in New York on 20 January, following his academic dismissal from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth on 4 January.
The Department of Homeland Security will "effective immediately" verify that every international student visa is valid, according to an internal memo obtained by the Associated Press news agency on Friday.
Under the new procedures, border agents will verify a student's visa status before the person arrives in the US, using information provided in flight manifests.
If that information is unavailable, they will manually check the visa status through a US database.
Beforehand, border agents would only verify a student's status in a database, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, when the person was referred to a second officer for additional inspection or questioning.
Mr Tazhayakov was not sent to a second officer when he arrived, because there was no information to indicate he was a national security threat, said Peter Boogaard, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.
Mr Tazhayakov is not implicated in the planning of the attacks, but he and fellow 19-year-old Kazakh, Dias Kadyrbayev, face up to five years in prison if convicted of obstructing the FBI investigation.
According to police, Mr Tazhayakov and Mr Kadyrbayev removed items from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's dormitory room at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth, three days after the blasts, including a backpack filled with fireworks remains.
Mr Tsarnaev, 19, sustained gunshot wounds during the police manhunt days after the bombings, and remains in a prison hospital. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted.
Three people died and more than 260 were wounded after two explosive devices made from pressure cookers detonated near the Boston Marathon finish line on 15 April.
On Friday, a Massachusetts funeral director said the main suspect's older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had died from gunshot wounds and blunt trauma to his head and torso.
The 26-year-old was killed several days after the bombing following a shootout with police, when he was run over by his younger brother as he fled the scene in a vehicle, authorities have already said.
His body was initially taken to another funeral home, where it was greeted by about 20 protesters on Thursday night. | The US is tightening its screening of international students, its first security change in response to the Boston Marathon bombings last month. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Greg Binnie, 19, earlier pleaded guilty to running at and making offensive gestures towards Rangers' goalkeeper Wes Foderingham after climbing over fencing at Hampden Park on 21 May.
Binnie must also stay in his home between 20:00 and 06:00 for two months.
The teenager, from Ratho in Edinburgh, was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was charged under the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act and accused of being engaged in behaviour which was likely to incite trouble.
Binnie was also given a two-year football banning order.
Hibernian FC have issued Binnie with an indefinite ban from watching the team playing or buying any tickets for home or away games.
The court heard Binnie climbed over fencing and entered the field of play immediately after the end of the match between Rangers and Hibs, which the Edinburgh side won 3-2 after a last minute goal.
Binnie, a former SFA intern, was working as a squash coach at George Watson's college in Edinburgh but has since lost his job.
Sheriff Ian Miller told Binnie, who is a sports coaching student: "I see no public utility in sending you to prison, instead I see a much greater public benefit in giving you the chance to use your considerable gift and talent in a way, while giving others a chance to take advantage of this gift and talent."
The court heard Binnie had no previous convictions and testimonies on his behalf from college lecturers and others were given to the court for consideration.
Defence counsel Lorenzo Alonzi described Binnie's actions as "boyhood stupidity".
He said it was "stupidity arising out of the sheer excitement of the situation".
The lawyer said: "Mr Binnie has already been punished significantly as a result of the direct consequence following his actions that day."
The court heard both he and his mother had received threats on social media and that it he was "genuinely remorseful".

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Martin Matthews, 48, and Bobby Smith, 33, used a ladder to gain access to the Queen's Gallery on Sunday afternoon.
They were arrested on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site after police officers were called to a report of a protest.
The Queen and Prince Philip are not thought to have been at the palace at the time.
A spokesman for the two men said they had scaled the roof at 15:15 GMT on Sunday.
Scotland Yard said its officers were called to the scene at 16:28 and that the men came down from the building of their own accord at about 23:00.
The men sat on a roof about 18ft (5m) high at the entrance of the public art gallery, which is located on a road to the side of the main gate to Buckingham Palace.
One of the men held a banner reading: "I'm Harry's dad. Stop the war on dads."
The protesters' spokesman said the demonstration was part of a campaign by the groups New Fathers 4 Justice and Stop The War On Dads.
They were campaigning over rights for fathers in divorce and separation proceedings and the reform of the family courts.
The Bristol-born 31-year-old played 136 times for Ulster and has 11 Ireland caps, the most recent of which came against Scotland in 2015.
He returned to action in October after 10 months on the sidelines with a fractured ankle.
"He's a formidable presence in the second row and an experienced lineout operator," Bristol's acting head coach Mark Tainton told the club website.
"I know Dan well from his time in the Ireland international set-up. His knowledge of the game at the highest level, as well as his leadership skills, will be of significant benefit to the team."

He has been troubled by injuries in recent years, also suffering a broken arm against Wales during the 2014 Six Nations.
"I know what Bristol Rugby is all about and what it means to the passionate supporters," Tuohy said.
"I want to thank Ulster Rugby and the IRFU for the past seven and a half years and wish them the very best in the future. My attention now turns to helping Bristol retain their place in the Premiership."
Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss said: "When Bristol made the approach, it was only fair that we considered it and the outcome is very suitable for all parties."

Summarize the content of the document below. | The decision was approved by 10-0 with one abstention.
The ruling will give gay couples in "stable" partnerships the same financial and social rights enjoyed by those in heterosexual relationships.
Brazil is the world's most populous Roman Catholic nation and has an estimated 60,000 gay couples.
The ruling makes Brazil one of very few South American nations, after Argentina and Uruguay, to allow gay unions with benefits similar to those afforded a heterosexual married couple.
"The freedom to pursue one's own sexuality is part of an individual's freedom of expression," said Justice Carlos Ayres Britto, the author of the ruling.
Gay activists welcomed the decision, saying it marked an "historic day" for the country.
"The degree of civilisation of a country can be measured by the way people in a nation treat their homosexual community," Claudio Nascimento, head of Rio de Janeiro state's Gay, Lesbian and Transsexuals Committee said, according to O Globo.
From now on same sex couples will be able to register their civil partnerships with solicitors and public bodies, giving them proper inheritance and pension rights.
However, the landmark ruling stops short of recognising gay marriage, which could involve public or religious ceremonies.
Brazil's Roman Catholic Church had argued against the decision to allow civil unions, saying the only union referred to within Brazil's constitution was that between a man and a woman.

He was sentenced to a total of 17 years and six months.
He was also made the subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Speaking after sentencing, Det Insp Jimmy Belmar said Roach was a "determined sexual predator".
He added that Roach had only been stopped because "thankfully, in some cases, parents recognised the warning signs and called police when they realised something serious had happened".

Summarize the following piece. | Thorne, who was recently nominated for three Bafta TV Awards, has also written the forthcoming play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The writer said taking on the project was an "honour and privilege".
"The His Dark Materials trilogy are vast and glorious books full of beautiful characters," he added.
"I'm going to work as hard as I can to try and do justice to them."
The trilogy, partly set in a parallel universe, tells the story of a girl called Lyra who embarks on a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust.
The books have been published in more than 40 languages and have sold almost 17.5 million copies worldwide.
The first novel, Northern Lights, was made into a 2007 feature film entitled The Golden Compass, starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman.
Pullman said he was "delighted" to welcome Jack Thorne as writer.
"Jack is a writer of formidable energy and range, and I've greatly enjoyed talking to him and learning about his plans for bringing His Dark Materials to the screen," he added.
"I'm certain he'll do a superb job and I look forward to seeing the whole project develop as he shapes the story."
Thorne is establishing himself as one of Britain's most sought-after writers. His credits include three of the This Is England series and the TV fantasy mini-series The Fades.
His plays include Mydidae, The Solid Life of Sugar Water and the stage adaptation of Let the Right One In.
He won best British newcomer at the London Film Festival for his first film The Scouting Book For Boys.
And last week Thorne's work was nominated for TV Baftas for best drama series - for The Last Panthers - best miniseries - for This is England '90 - and best single drama - for Don't Take My Baby.
His is currently working on a four-part miniseries for Channel 4 called National Treasure, starring Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters and Andrea Riseborough.
The cast of His Dark Materials is yet to be revealed, but filming will take place in Wales.
The winner of the award is decided by players across the football leagues and the Women's Super League who all have a chance to cast a vote.

Andrew Reilly made no attempt to avert the head-on collision with a car in which Audrey Thom was a passenger.
Mrs Thom's daughter Louise could not avoid Reilly's van, heading directly at her on her side of the road.
Reilly, 29, will be sentenced in April after admitting a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
The High Court in Edinburgh was told Miss Thom was unable to take evasive action as there were trees on the left-hand side of the road and another vehicle on the right-hand carriageway.
The crash occurred on the A914 Balmullo to Dairsie roundabout road in Fife in November 2015.
Emergency services took Miss Thom, 27, and her 58-year-old mother to hospital but Mrs Thom's condition worsened and she died two days later.

Summarize the passage below. | Rejecting a US demand to lift a state of emergency, Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Washington should not "impose" its will on "a great country".
Many thousands of Egyptians have been protesting since 25 January calling for President Hosni Mubarak to step down.
Wednesday saw protests in Cairo spread to Egypt's parliament, with violence and reports of strikes in other cities.
An organised protest camp now exists in Tahrir Square in the centre of Cairo, the focal point for demonstrations now in their 17th day.
TV pictures on Thursday showed crowds once again heading for a rally in the square. Numbers in Tahrir Square are expected to be at their largest on Friday, when organisers have called for another huge demonstration.
Google executive Wael Ghonim, who has become a figurehead for many in the protest movement after being released from 12 days of detention, said on Thursday he had no plans to stay involved in politics longer than necessary.
Instead he described himself as "honoured" to be involved in negotiations with the government.
"I promise every Egyptian that I will go back to my normal life and not be involved in any politics once Egyptians fulfil their dreams," Mr Ghonim tweeted.
In his interview with US network PBS, Mr Aboul Gheit said Egypt was enduring an "upheaval", and was sharply critical of US statements on Egypt, including Vice-President Joe Biden.
Explicit calls from Mr Biden for "prompt, immediate" action from Egypt were tantamount to "imposing your will" on a long-time ally of the US, Mr Aboul Gheit said.
By Mark MardellBBC North America editor
Read Mark's thoughts in full
On the issue of Egypt's emergency law, in place for four decades, Mr Aboul Gheit described himself as "amazed" by Mr Biden's reported comments for it to be lifted.
Jailbreaks amid the recent street protests meant that 17,000 prisoners are now loose on Egypt's streets, the foreign minister said.
"How can you ask me to disband the... emergency law while I'm in difficulty? Give me time. Allow me to have control, to stabilise the nation, to stabilise the state, and then we would... look into the issue."
After an initial reluctance to become publicly involved in Egypt's internal disputes, the White House has in recent days repeatedly called for an "orderly transition" in Egypt.
But Mr Aboul Gheit was critical of Washington's posture during the early days of protest.
"The first four, five days, it was a confusing message. And I was often angry, infuriated.
"But, through discussions with the administration, I think now we have an administration that understands exactly the difficulties of the situation and the dangers and the risks that are entailed in a rush towards chaos without end. So... the administration's message now is much better."
The tens of thousands of protesters taking to the streets of Cairo and other cities over the past 16 days have called overwhelmingly for Hosni Mubarak, the country's long-serving president, to step down immediately.
Mr Mubarak has said he intends to step down after presidential elections, due to be held in September.
Newly appointed Vice-President Omar Suleiman has begun a process of talks with opposition political figures. But opposition groups fear the government is stalling for time and will fail to enact meaningful changes.
New focus
Despite Mr Aboul Gheit's words, Washington once again reiterated its call for rapid and meaningful change in Egypt.
State department spokesman PJ Crowley said the US had been calling for years to an end to the state of emergency, while Mr Gibbs insisted it was obvious that Mr Mubarak's pledges of reform had not gone far enough, fast enough.
"I think it is clear that what the government has thus far put forward has yet to meet a minimum threshold for the people of Egypt," Mr Gibbs said.
"And I think, unless or until that process takes hold, I think you're going to see the continued pictures that all of us are watching out of Cairo and of other cities throughout Egypt.
"If there's some notion on the government side that you can put the genie back in this bottle, I think that's gone a long time ago," he added.
The BBC's North America editor Mark Mardell says Western diplomats believe the US administration has changed its approach in the last two days. Washington does not now think the Egyptian government is serious about delivering change, and wants everyone to hear that message, our correspondent says.
After more than two weeks of protests focused on Tahrir Square in central Cairo, Wednesday saw protests in the capital spread to the country's parliament, the People's Assembly.
Many regard the assembly as illegitimate after its members were elected in elections widely seen as heavily rigged in favour of Mr Mubarak's party.
There were also reports of widespread industrial action, and of protests outside Cairo - in cities such as Suez and Port Said - turning violent.
Researchers from Human Rights Watch (HRW) say they have confirmed the deaths of 297 people since 28 January, based on a count from eight hospitals in the cities of Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.

The Fylde Ladies midfielder, 18, and former Everton player died at West Allerton station in Merseyside on Tuesday.
British Transport Police has said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Tributes have poured in from across the world of football for Ms Tynan who her family said "was never happier than when she had a ball at her feet".
Close friend and former Everton Ladies team-mate Natalie Clark tweeted she was "absolutely heartbroken and devastated".
Floral tributes and scarves from her first club Liverpool Feds, which she joined aged six, were laid at the train station.
Ms Tynan spent five years at Everton Ladies from the age of 12.
Fylde Ladies manager Luke Swindlehurst told the BBC: "She was just a really likeable character.
"From day one, all the girls fell in love with her. It's a huge tragedy. She loved to play football.
"She was hugely gifted and she could do anything - she was a clean striker of the ball and a really good passer."
The teenager joined Manchester City in 2015, making one Women's FA Cup appearance before moving onto Fylde.
Ms Tynan has been part of England youth squads at U15, U17 and most recently at U19 level.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | The idea comes from the governor of the Lombardy region, Roberto Formigoni, who says no woman should end a pregnancy because of economic difficulty.
The women would have to prove they are in financial hardship in order to qualify for the 18 monthly payments.
The policy has been welcomed by anti-abortion campaigners, but critics have condemned the move as propaganda.
Mr Formigoni, a political ally of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, said he wanted to support "the family, motherhood and births".
A spokesman for the Italian Bishops' Conference responded to the new policy by saying: "Anything that respects life is to be applauded."
Lombardy has set aside 5m euros ($6.1m, £4.2m) for the scheme, officials say. The women will receive 18 monthly payments of 250 euros.
But the policy has also been criticised as a short-term solution to a life-long responsibility.
Writing on the Italian paper La Repubblica's website, Cinzia Sasso questioned what mothers would do after the first 18 months, and said the number of people that could receive aid under the money allocated was "laughable".
Sara Valmaggi, an opposition politician, said volunteers who are to work on the project could not act as a substitute for public sector health workers.
Abortion has been legal in Italy since 1978.
Some were linked to last month's attacks in Paris and planning further attacks on the West, US Army Colonel Steve Warren added.
He named one as Charaffe al-Mouadan, who he said had a direct link to Paris attack cell leader Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Another was a UK-educated Bangladeshi computer systems engineer, he said.
The US-led coalition has been targeting IS in Iraq and Syria for over a year. Russia recently began its own air attacks against armed opponents of the Syrian government, including IS.
Syria-based Mouadan was killed in an air strike on 24 December, said Col Warren.
Another man with connections to the Paris attackers, Abdul Qader Hakim, died two days later in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, he added.
Col Warren added that an earlier air strike, on 10 December, killed the UK-educated Bangladeshi computer engineer - who, he said, had supported IS hacking activities, anti-surveillance technology and weapons development.
"Over the past month we've killed 10 Isil [IS] leadership figures with targeted air strikes, including several external attack planners, some of whom are linked to the Paris attacks," he said.
"Others had designs on further attacking the West.
"As long as Isil external attack planners are operating, the US military will hunt them and kill them."

"He's really close to Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos," Ancelotti said.
"Now he is more comfortable in his position, he knows his team-mates and they know him and he has more power."
Bale, who is returning to the San Siro Stadium, the scene of one of his most famous performances when he scored a hat-trick for Tottenham against Inter Milan, has publicly stated there is no rift with Ronaldo.
Ancelotti, who paid a world record fee for Bale, also explained that he had to convince the former Spurs man to remain as a winger during his time as manager at the Bernabeu, after his agent asked the club president to move the Welshman into a central role.
The ex-Chelsea boss was quoted at the time as saying Bale's agent "needed to stay quiet".
"It was not difficult because I do not want to speak with the agent, the agent went to speak with the president and after that I explained my position directly to the player," Ancelotti told BBC Wales Sport's Gareth Bale documentary.
"The best way is that if the player is not comfortable he has to come to the manager but I understand the world of football. When I played I didn't have an agent and now there are agents.
"In that situation I spoke directly with Gareth. I said I understand he would be more comfortable in a different position but I have to think about the team and for me the best position for him was on the right side."
Ancelotti, who is succeeding Manchester City-bound Pep Guardiola at FC Bayern Munich, has no doubts Bale's tenure in Spain will be a long one despite rumours he could move back to the Premier League.
"He's a fantastic player and talent. My experience with him at Real Madrid was really good," he told BBC Sport.
"It's not easy for a player to come in from another country but the first year he did really well. He showed fantastic quality and his future at Real Madrid will be long." | Former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are "really close" despite rumours of a rift. |

Ucas urges parents and teachers to be more aware of other options, as rising numbers of students apply to university without the traditional three A-levels.
Ucas figures show more UK students are taking alternative qualifications, such as BTecs, alone or alongside A-levels.
In 2015, 15% of 18-year-old applicants took up a BTec, up from 11% in 2011.
New statistics published by Ucas also show that more than a quarter (26%) of all students from England accepted on to degree courses last year held at least one BTec, compared with 14% in 2008.
However, the study shows A-levels are still the most popular and successful route into university, with just under two-thirds (63%) of UK 18-year-olds applying for degree courses last year studying for three A-levels.
In a foreword to the report, Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook said there had been a shift in the types of qualifications with which many youngsters applied to university, with a significant minority applying with "newer and less traditional qualifications or through less straightforward routes".
"It has become clear to Ucas that the opportunities and challenges of this change are not yet well understood by learners, parents, teachers or providers," she warns.
In England, reforms have included the introduction of Tech levels, as well as the move to separate AS-levels from A-levels to form a stand-alone qualification, the report says.
In Scotland, about 25%-30% of students are now studying for the Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND) qualifications, which come with a guarantee that students can go on to study for a full degree if they want to.
Ucas sets out a series of recommendations for schools and universities, including calling for clearer higher education entry requirements and building partnerships between universities and schools and colleges to develop an understanding of the different qualifications and what they can lead on to.
Prof Les Ebdon, director of Fair Access to Higher Education, said he was very pleased that Ucas was highlighting the issue.
"I join Ucas in encouraging universities and colleges to look at what more they could do to support these learners, because non-traditional qualifications are an important route into higher education for disadvantaged students.
"Universities and colleges will soon be preparing their access agreements for 2017-18, and they will want to consider how the changing qualifications landscape affects how they plan to support disadvantaged students as they move into and through higher education."
James Kewin, deputy chief executive of the Sixth Form Colleges Association, said: "Study programmes that combine BTec and A-level qualifications are becoming increasingly common and have proved to be a highly effective way of helping young people to progress to higher education and employment.
"Overall, we think the take-up of applied general qualifications and the new Tech levels is likely to increase as schools and colleges adapt to the introduction of the new-style A-levels." | Coleraine restored their pride as they responded to last week's 7-0 Europa League rout in Norway by earning a 0-0 home leg draw against FK Haugesund.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Kim Jong-nam was poisoned at Kuala Lumpur airport after two women wiped a toxin on his face.
The "VX nerve agent" found on his face is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations.
Malaysia has not blamed the North Korean state for the death, but says North Koreans were clearly behind it.
Police said swabs were taken from Mr Kim's eye and face by the chemistry department of Malaysia.
His body remains in a hospital mortuary. Mr Kim was poisoned as he waited for a flight to Macau. He sought help from airport staff but died before reaching the hospital, police said.

Several North Koreans are wanted in connection with his death, including a senior official at the North's embassy in Kuala Lumpur as well as an employee of the state airline, Air Koryo.
Four other North Koreans named earlier in the case are thought to have left Malaysia already, while a fifth North Korean has been detained.
The two women suspected of wiping the substance on Mr Kim's face are in custody. Malaysia said the attack was "planned" and that the women had been well trained.
Mr Kim was once seen as a possible successor to his father, Kim Jong-il, but was bypassed in favour of his younger half-brother, Kim Jong-un, and spent many years living abroad.
He had been travelling on a passport under the name Kim Chol.
On what seemed to be the first reference of the case by the North's state media, Pyongyang said on Thursday that Malaysia was responsible for the death of one of its citizens.
It also accused Malaysia of trying to politicise the return of his body and called "absurd" Malaysia's request for DNA samples for official confirmation of the identity.

The scheme would combine the stock exchanges of the UK, Germany and Italy and some big clearing houses to create Europe's largest exchange operator.
Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said it had to make sure that financial markets remained "competitive".
Shareholders of the LSE and Deutsche Boerse have already approved the plan.
The European Union's anti-trust watchdog says such a merger could eliminate competition in areas such as bonds, derivatives and repurchasing agreements.
The LSE said that to deal with the body's concerns, it would try to dispose of its French subsidiary LCH.
Each of the companies has more than 5,000 staff and in June, the LSE said that the merger could lead to as many as 1,250 job losses.
The deal is expected to produce £215m in annual cost savings over five years, with £138m of those achieved by the third year, while the headquarters in London and Frankfurt would both be kept.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | It comes after Beijing News reportedly uncovered the elaborate operation near the city of Tianjin.
The plants were using ingredients unfit for human consumption, like industrial salt, in seasonings including soy sauce and vinegar, the paper said.
The products were labelled with brands including Maggi, Knorr, and Nestle.
The seasonings, which include spices and chicken stock, are commonly used in Chinese cooking and can be widely found across Asia.
China has been rocked by various food scandals in recent years, with tainted milk powder killing six babies in 2008 and making more than 300,000 children ill.
The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) said in a statement on Monday evening that it had dispatched officers to Tianjin to investigate the claims.
The Beijing News report said a "fake food seasoning manufacturing hub" had grown unchecked for more than 10 years in the town of Duliu near Tianjin.
Nearly 50 small factories, operating in a residential area, had been churning out fake seasoning estimated to be worth up to a 100m yuan ($14.5m, £12m) per year.
Reporters and local police visited the factories last week, acting on a tip-off from a whistleblower.
Pictures and video taken at the scene show workers making and packaging the products in dirty sheds using homemade equipment like plastic drums and garden hoses.
The factories were said to have used industrial grade salt unsafe for human consumption. They also recycled by-products from other food manufacturers, and were seen freely using highly regulated ingredients like the artificial sweetener cyclamate.
Beijing News quoted Nestle's China office as saying that its anti-counterfeit team was looking into the matter, and that "product experts will be helping law enforcement representatives in identifying suspicious products".
Chinese food brands such as Totole and Donggu, whose products were also faked, said they were either assisting investigations or conducting their own probes.
Totole added that it had known about the factories since 2007, and its anti-counterfeit team had conducted numerous crackdowns in Duliu, but had been unable to completely stamp them out.
The sheer scale of the operation revealed in local media shocked a country that is no stranger to food scandals, prompting questions online.
"Shouldn't the CFDA be the one that is punished? A whole village has been faking products for so many years. Can we still trust this department?" said one commenter on the CFDA's Weibo page.
"How many people have been poisoned by these fake products? Seasoning impacts so many lives, this is no game!" said another user.
The Food and Drug Administration said in its statement that it would "thoroughly rectify the problem of fake food seasoning production, and present the results of our investigation to the public in a timely fashion".
In 2014, the Shanghai Husi Food Company, a meat supplier to fast food chains McDonalds and KFC in China, was found to be repackaging old meat.
The following year authorities seized 100,000 tonnes of smuggled meat, some of it more than 40 years old.
Last month Chinese media reported that food suppliers in the north-western city of Shanxi were treating mushrooms with hazardous chemicals to make them look whiter and fresher.

The chapel was used as a temporary mortuary following the Aberfan disaster in 1966 and housed a memorial organ.
Jennie Griffiths of the fire service tweeted it is "in danger of collapse" and Aberfan Road remains closed.
Merthyr Vale councillor Darren Roberts said: "This is devastating for the community as it has so much history."
Although it closed in 2012, occasional services still took place and renovations were ongoing to try and modernise it and bring it back into community use.
Mr Roberts said the building had been "totally gutted".
One fire engine was still at the scene on Aberfan Road on Saturday morning, with most of the nearby residents having returned to their homes.
A South Wales Police spokesman said the force is working with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service to investigate the cause.

Gen Qassem Soleimani said Bahrain's action against Sheikh Isa Qassim could "set the region on fire".
Bahrain accused the cleric of using his position to "serve foreign interests", promoting "sectarianism and violence".
Thousands of protesters have gathered near his home.
They chanted slogans denouncing King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa and the government. Bahrain's interior ministry has warned against any protests.
What lies behind Bahrain crackdown?
"The al-Khalifa [rulers of Bahrain] surely know their aggression against Sheikh Isa Qassim is a red line and that crossing it would set Bahrain and the whole region on fire, and it would leave no choice for people but to resort to armed resistance," Gen Soleimani said in a statement released by the semi-official Fars news agency.
Earlier, Iran's foreign ministry also criticised the move.
The cleric, who holds the religious rank of ayatollah, has backed protests led by the majority Shia community for greater civil and political rights.
Announcing the move to strip him of his Bahraini citizenship, the interior ministry said the cleric had "adopted theocracy and stressed the absolute allegiance to the clergy".
It accused him of being in continuous contact with "organisations and parties that are enemies of the kingdom".
The US state department said it was "alarmed" at the move, adding that it was "unaware of any credible evidence" to support the removal of citizenship.
The development comes days after Bahrain's government suspended the leading Shia opposition grouping, Wefaq National Islamic Society, closing its offices and ordering its assets to be frozen.
Wefaq's political leader, Shia cleric Sheikh Ali Salman, is in prison and recently had his jail term increased to nine years, after being convicted in 2015.
A US diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks described Sheikh Isa Qassim as Wefaq's spiritual leader. He is also regarded as the spiritual leader of Bahrain's wider Shia community.
The US cable said the cleric had studied in the Iranian city of Qom in the 1990s and also spent time in the Iraqi city of Najaf, another centre of Shia learning. | A "devastating" fire has totally gutted a historical Merthyr Tydfil chapel.

But former striker Rush believes the biggest nations will not want to face a Welsh side which lost only once in qualifying.
"They won't want Wales in their group," Rush told BBC Wales' Sport Wales.
"I'm not saying we are going to win it but the opposition won't like to play Wales.
"Every game will be a big test and they will learn from it and I think we will win a game."
Rush is the country's all-time leading goalscorer with 28 goals, while Gareth Bale took his tally to 19 with Wales' second goal in the 2-0 win over Andorra.
Real Madrid forward Bale scored seven of Wales' 11 goals in Euro 2016 qualifying, with Aaron Ramsey netting twice and Hal Robson-Kanu and David Cotterill scoring one apiece.
But former Liverpool and Juventus striker Rush is not too concerned by Wales' limited forward options.
"The lads that play there I think you forget the work that they do. They put in a tremendous work rate," Rush added.
"What we may be missing is someone to tap the ball in

He told Radio 4's Today that Philip Hammond, Mr Osborne's successor, should change tack and raise public spending.
"It's clear he will spend more," the former Greek finance minister said.
Mr Hammond is to reveal his spending plans at next week's Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.
Mr Varoufakis, in London for the Institute of Directors' annual conference, said each time Mr Osborne had cut spending, he had been forced to push back his budget targets.
However, his criticism of Mr Osborne has come under attack on Twitter. "Kettle 'particularly inept at not being black', says Pot" and "Takes one to know one" were two of the kinder comments.
The maverick former Greek minister, who served from January to June last year and gained notoriety for his confrontational approach to Greece's creditors as well as his habit of wearing leather jackets and riding a motorcycle, said he had spoken "frequently" to John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor.
Mr McDonnell unveiled Labour's economic plans at the party's conference earlier this week, including a £250bn infrastructure package and £10 an hour minimum wage.
"I have spoken to John McDonnell many times," Mr Varoufakis said. "And we agree that the one thing Britain needs is investment."
Mr Varoufakis said there was an estimated £900bn "trapped doing nothing" in City financial institutions and that money needed to be put to work.
He said he foresaw a Europe split into two economic blocs - one in the north, centred on Germany, and another in the south.
Referring to Greece, Mr Varoufakis said he agreed with recent criticisms of the European creditors' negotiation position by the International Monetary Fund - which is itself a creditor.
On Friday, the IMF said European plans to force Greece to operate a large budget surplus were unrealistic and that it needed extra debt relief if it was to return to financial health.
"My country is in a debt trap and it needs a much smaller budget surplus target if it is ever to escape," he said.
Mr Varoufakis also said he expected the eurozone eventually to implode, citing problems in the German and Italian banking systems as a big threat to its stability.

The post said: "Due to the deplorable dresses at the last ball it is necesary (sic) to fully enforce a knee length dress with NO PLUNGING NECKLINE dresscode for the mid-term ball."
"Keep it Neat and Discreet ladies".
But a number of responses accused the company of trying to dictate what young women wear.
The post illustrated pictures of models dressed in various styles of clothing with 'NO' stamped across them.
One comment said: "I don't have girls but I have to say I was very uncomfortable with your post. Are we raising independent women or going back to the 80s where young girls had babies in grottos and died?

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The formal adoption papers for Jacob came through last month, after he had already been living with his new family for a year and a half.
Scott, a senior manager for Adoption UK in the east of England, said the couple were initially approached to foster Jacob, as social workers were struggling to find a family for him.
This was not part of a formal foster-for-adoption scheme - but Scott and Tristan quickly decided to apply for adoption.
"It was sheer coincidence that he happened to fit with the structure of our family," said Scott.
Jacob was over seven years old before he met his permanent family - so he had quite a lot of history to come to terms with, some of it disturbing.
Part of the adoption process has been to ensure there is enough on-going support for Jacob in his new family.
But, according to Scott, Jacob is thriving and has "changed beyond recognition" in the 18 months he has been with them.
He has moved from a school for children with behavioural difficulties to mainstream education and has been able to "close some of the chapters on his previous life".
The family are planning a big party to formally welcome Jacob.
Life was not without its challenges - sometimes there was friction between the three boys, "but that is part and parcel of being a parent - it's a bit like a conventional family having to adjust to a new baby", said Scott.
Both Scott and Tristan admit to having "fought like cat and dog" with their own siblings as children, and this has helped them accept the challenges of parenthood.
"The thing I have come to accept is that there is never a normal day," said Scott.
"Socially and emotionally, they all have to face challenges every day.

Andrew Ashman, 49, from London, suffered a fatal neck injury when struck by a boom in September 2015.
Londoner Sarah Young, 40, died after being washed overboard during the Pacific leg of the race in April 2016.
A Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report has now recommended a review of policies and procedures.
However, chief inspector of marine accidents Captain Steven Clinch stressed Clipper Ventures Plc "has already done much to address the safety issues".
The annual race covers 40,000 nautical miles and sees amateur sailors, under the guidance of a qualified skipper, racing over eight legs on a 70-foot yacht.
Paramedic Mr Ashman's death was the first in the competition's 20-year history and his brother, Keith, said he did not blame the organisers.
Capt Clinch said: "The Clipper Round the World Race is an adventurous activity; operating with largely amateur and some novice crews, the yachts are often required to operate in some of the most hostile weather and sea conditions on earth.
"However, in such circumstances, there is a practical limit to how the safety of crews can be monitored and therefore, much reliance is placed on the expertise and judgement of each boat's skipper to ensure a strong safety culture is followed by everyone on board. This places a huge responsibility on one person, given the enduring challenges presented during the Clipper Round the World Race.
"While acknowledging that Clipper Ventures Plc has already done much to address the safety issues identified during the MAIB's investigations, I am nonetheless recommending that the company does even more to review and modify its yacht-manning policy and shore-based management procedures so that Clipper yacht skippers are effectively supported and, where appropriate, challenged to ensure safe working practices are always adhered to on board."
Clipper Race founder and chairman, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, said the incidents "were caused primarily through momentary lapses in applying basic safety training".
However, he welcomed the report's findings and stressed the organisation worked to standards "often well in excess" of Maritime and Coastguard Agency guidelines.
He added: "Safety procedures are under constant review as a matter of course and we will continue to do so in light of the report's recommendations." | Scott Casson-Rennie and his civil partner, Tristan, already had two adopted sons Frasier, now 17, and Brandon, now 16, when they fostered Jacob, now nine, in April last year.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Suzy Favor Hamilton was a middle-distance runner who represented the US in three Olympic Games before becoming an escort in Las Vegas as she struggled with bipolar disorder. Listen to her story on Stephen Nolan, 12 February, 23:30 GMT on BBC Radio 5 live.
There is a history of mental illness in my family. My brother lived with bipolar disorder and the household was often chaotic as a result.
Our family never discussed it. To the outside, we looked like the Brady Bunch. Looking back, there were signs something was not quite right with me either.
WATCH: Suzy Favor Hamilton talks to Stephen Nolan on 5 live
I did everything at a mile a minute and couldn't focus for the life of me. Growing up, I lived with an eating disorder, had suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt in college, then experienced severe anxiety when I raced. But I kept it all in, trying to maintain the facade of the perfect Midwestern girl, strong and powerful.
If others noticed any problems, they looked the other way. I usually won, and they liked it that way.
Running seemed to be the one thing in life that quietened my brain, and because of that, I loved to run and grew to obsess about it.
I saw my winning races have a positive effect on my family, namely my parents. I strangely grew to feel that my success could make this a happy family, and take away any silent pain we were experiencing as a result of my brother's odd behaviour.
My running career was highly successful. I won more NCAA Championships than anybody ever had. I won seven US Championship titles between 1991 and 2004, set a couple of American records, and made the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic teams.
I won a lot, but tended to "choke" at the big, big meets. I didn't know why and it ate at me. My body would just tighten up on me unexpectedly towards the end of a race. Like I was running with a piano on my back. I even fell on purpose in the 1500m final at the Sydney Olympics when, as the favourite, I knew I would not medal with 50 metres to go.
That was easier to swallow than failure. I wanted so badly to win that one for my family, to ease the pain of losing my brother Dan to suicide the year before.
Incredibly, I never thought of myself as having any kind of brain disorder. All I knew was that I dreaded competing. Filled with anxiety most often, I could not wait to retire, but I marched on to please others.
Finally, in 2005, I got pregnant. Having a child would be my way out. This was my excuse, and I could not wait to be a mom. I would have a baby, maybe two, and live a life of perfect happiness. But that's not what happened.
Months after having my beautiful daughter, I was in a dark place.
A new "real world" job in real estate, a suddenly strained marriage, a disintegrating relationship with my siblings, strain with my parents, a miscarriage, then another, feelings of inadequacy of being a mother. It was building up.
All I knew was that I had to hold my daughter all the time. I could not let go. I had no motivation to run. I rocked myself constantly. I was irritable like never before. And then I decided I wanted to run my car off the road, into a tree. I just wanted the pain to stop.
Thankfully, I thought of my daughter, resisted those thoughts, made it home, and told my husband.
Soon, I saw a doctor, was diagnosed with post-partum depression, put on anti-depressants, and things improved. Years passed. Triggers intensified. I was getting by, but had grown to detest the side-effects. I felt fat, sluggish, unmotivated. I stopped taking the drug that had been keeping me somewhat stable.
It didn't take long, but before I knew it, I was in that dark place again. Suicidal. Triggers everywhere. My marriage was deteriorating. My family was driving me crazy. I had a modest speaking career, but they insisted I not publicly speak about my mental illness or my brother's bipolar and suicide. I hated my real estate job. I just wanted to escape.
My doctor put me on another anti-depressant. The effects were immediate. I felt great. I felt beyond great. I felt alive. I wanted to live. Time for my fantasies to now become a reality.
Our 20th wedding anniversary was coming up. A nice dinner date out on the town with flowers perhaps? Not for me. I wanted to go to Vegas, jump out of a plane, hire an escort, have a threesome. Bucket list stuff I never thought I would actually do. Never. I wanted it now.
Skydiving was amazing, something I would never dare do, but I was doing it. Then the threesome. Now this was life changing. I was a new woman.
How had I been missing out? Freedom. I wanted sex. It was all I could think about. Our marriage was on fumes.
I asked for and was granted permission to stray. An open relationship we would try. Divorce was not an option, not for my daughter or for business. To keep things steady, or at least seemingly steady.
Over the next six months, I made several trips to Las Vegas on my own. First meeting with a male escort, then hooking up with men I met at casino bars, then insisting on gifts in exchange for sex. And then the light bulb flashed. I wouldn't hire the escort. I would be the escort.
Within months, I was the number two-ranked escort in Vegas (yes, there actually are rankings out there), and top 10 in the world. I was never happier, never higher, never more alive.
For the first time in my life, I was independent, could take care of myself. I loved the taboo, the riskiness, the slight danger to it all, and I always had to take it a step further. It was never quite enough.
The money was intoxicating, but not the driving force. It was the thrill, the risk, the taboo, the attention, the power, the sex. All the while, an infuriated Mark covered for me, protecting my reputation, raising our child, keeping the real estate business going on his own, while I was off, totally out of control.
A year into my life as an escort, I was outed by a jilted client. A tabloid told of my activities to the world. My life had been taken away.
Suicidal thoughts crept back in. The world came crashing down on me. My husband would leave, take my child, my parents would abandon me, as would my friends, or so I believed.
To save these relationships, I felt compelled for once to seek help, even if for appearance sake.
Admittedly, I was beginning to feel there was something wrong with me after months of denial. This was the first time I had ever visited a psychiatrist. I tried my best to fool him that I was fine, that I could continue with my life "as is".
But within a couple of weeks, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, weaned off the anti-depressant that the doctor believed had driven me to a mostly constant manic state over the past year and a half.
The process of recovery would begin, slowly, with several bumps and relapses along the way.
My husband did not leave. He did not take my daughter from me. My parents failed to understand why, but they stuck with me, loved me the best they knew how.
Friends bailed on me, but many remained, though confused by it all. I had some support in the athletics world, but some considered me an embarrassment to the sport and wanted me to just go away. I also had to quit the real world job as it was not good for my bipolar.
How did the sweet, innocent Suzy wind up here?
My bipolar is manageable now. I learned to feel no shame for what I did. Regrets yes, but no shame. Shame holds you back and prevents recovery.
What hurts most though is what I put my loved ones through. My journey, as odd as it was, moulded me into a person I'm happier with.
I have more of a voice. I'm more independent. I'm a better wife, mother and friend as a result. I teach yoga and I am a public speaker on mental health matters. I'm healthier than I ever have been, I believe. I've found healthy coping mechanisms. I'm more compassionate than ever as I know what it's like to be shamed and shunned on an intimate level.
I'll never be cured, and I'll live with bipolar for the rest of my life. I know it won't always be smooth sailing ahead. But I'll always know that as dark as things might get in the future, it always gets better. | Mine is a story of misdiagnosis, but how did I get there? |

"He has two broken bones but the medical staff have done very well to treat it," said Ranieri.
"A lot of players want to play on when they feel good. We agree as long as he is safe, then for us it is OK."
Vardy, who scored twice in Leicester's 5-2 defeat by Arsenal, injured his wrist the 3-2 win against Aston Villa on 13 September.
Ranieri added the striker would be fit to play in Leicester's next match, away to Norwich City on Saturday.
Ryan Ackroyd, from South Yorkshire, admitted to being part of the group, whose targets included the NHS and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).
He will not face trial on another count of operating a "denial of service attack" (DDoS), which will lie on file.
He and three others on similar charges will be sentenced next month.
Mustafa Al-Bassam, 18, from Peckham, south London, and Jake Davis, 20, from Lerwick, Shetland, have also now pleaded guilty to hacking and launching cyber-attacks.
Ryan Cleary, 21, of Essex, pleaded guilty in June last year to six counts, including hacking into US air force agency computers at the Pentagon.
Ackroyd was due to stand trial charged with taking part in a string of cyber-attacks, but today pleaded guilty to one charge of carrying out an unauthorised act to impair the operation of a computer, contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1977.
Lulzsec emerged as a splinter-group of the Anonymous hacking collective in May 2011.
The name stood for Lulz Security - in which "Lulz" is derived from the popular internet term "lol", meaning "laugh out loud".
The group's members employed techniques to flood websites with high traffic - known as DDoS attacks - in order to render them unusable.
Lulzsec claimed to have attacked News International, owner of the Sun newspaper website, on which a false story was planted suggesting that the newspaper's owner, Rupert Murdoch, had died.
In the US, the group was credited with attacking the website of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Lulzsec had previously posted a story on American broadcaster PBS's website, suggesting that deceased rapper Tupac Shakur was in fact alive.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Staff will be working round-the-clock in the 330m-long tunnel to lower two lines of track to create space for overhead power lines for the new trains.
The work is part of the £750m Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP). It aims to launch "cleaner, greener and quieter trains" on the line from December 2016. This will be mainly done by replacing existing trains with electric-powered ones.
The Winchburgh tunnel, which is near Linlithgow, is the site of a major technical challenge.
The tunnel will be closed between Saturday 13 June and Sunday 26 July, which means trains will need to be diverted and replacement buses used.
Transport Minister Derek Mackay said summer was the quietest time on the railway so it made sense to schedule the tunnel closure at this time.
It includes the school summer holiday period when fewer people travel, but is to be completed before the start of the Edinburgh festivals.
ScotRail said the main routes affected would be:
In addition, the following services will be busier than normal in both directions:
The tunnel closure will mean passengers wanting to travel end-to-end from Glasgow to Edinburgh will no longer be able to take a train from Queen Street high level platforms.
This service will now include replacement bus services around Falkirk.
To avoid that, passengers can switch to the slower Queen Street low level trains, which run on the Airdrie/Bathgate line or travel from Central Station which go via Motherwell/Carstairs or Shotts.
The high level trains will still run every 30 minutes in both directions between Glasgow Queen Street and Linlithgow only - calling at Croy, Falkirk High and Polmont.
ScotRail warned that train journeys would be busier and take longer than normal, they may not depart from where people are used to and in some cases they may involve a bus replacement service.
The train operator has a dedicated website to deal with the questions.
ScotRail said it would add extra carriages "where possible" and run more evening rush-hour trains.
It warned that rush-hour trains may be so crowded that some travellers may be unable to board.
It also advised passengers to set off up to 30 minutes earlier than usual.
Further pressure will come during the Open golf championship at St Andrews from 12-19 July.
Many fans from across Scotland would have travelled by train. ScotRail said it expected to lay on more buses during the latter part of the week.
The EGIP project will continue on sections of the Edinburgh Glasgow line until late next year but most of the work will be carried out at night.
Next year, work will begin in the Queen Street tunnel in Glasgow, clearing it for electrification in April 2016.
Phil Verster from train operator ScotRail Alliance said Glasgow Queen Street would be "transformed" by the changes, with the whole concourse being remodelled.
He said: "It will put Glasgow Queen Street on a par with what we have at St Pancras or King's Cross. It is going to be absolutely stunning."
According to Rodger Querns from EGIP the benefits for passengers will be a 20% reduction in journey times (down from about 52 minutes to 42 minutes on the main line via Falkirk), a 30% increase in capacity and greener, quieter trains with better on-board facilties.
Mr Verster of ScotRail Alliance said: "So on all counts it is good for customers and good for the country." | The Winchburgh railway tunnel in West Lothian has been closed for 44 days causing delays to Glasgow-Edinburgh train services. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the "radical" move would ensure every penny of the health budget was spent wisely.
A "procurement tsar" will produce the list - made up of prices negotiated and set between the NHS and suppliers.
But Labour said the government's overhaul of the NHS had wasted millions and these plans would not change that.
The new central procurement list will mean that hundreds of everyday hospital supplies will be bought in bulk to help harness the "buying power" of the health service.
The government has committed to making savings of £1.5bn to £2bn on procurement by the end of 2015/16.
The Department of Health said it expects this NHS core list to make up £500m - roughly a third - of these overall savings.
Hospitals currently negotiate prices for supplies individually and as a result cannot always secure the best prices for products, it said.
It claimed the new core procurement list would "drive out variation and secure better prices with our suppliers".
The NHS will centrally negotiate with suppliers, using its scale to "drive a harder bargain" and trusts will then shop for what they need from the list.
The health secretary told BBC 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics show that improving procurement could significantly cut spending.
He used spending on sterile surgical gloves as an example, saying hospitals could save up to 38% on the price they paid for the product if they switched from the market leader to an alternative supplier.
"The reason that we're being even more radical in what we're announcing today is because there is concern within the ageing population as to whether the NHS is going to be financially viable going forward," Mr Hunt said.
"And before we go back to the British people with any request for extra money from taxes or any other sources of finance, I think we have to be confident that we are spending every penny of the £100bn NHS budget wisely."
He also insisted that the reorganisation of the NHS since the coalition took office was achieving savings of £1bn every year.
He said while the process of shaking up the health service may not have been perfect, the principle behind the reforms had been right.
"We removed 20,000 administrative jobs in the old primary care trusts and strategic health authorities, and we're using that to pay for 7,500 more doctors," the health secretary said.
"So we've been taking lots of measures right from the start of the Parliament in order to get more money out of the frontline."
But shadow health minister Jamie Reed said Prime Minister David Cameron's £3bn reorganisation had fragmented the NHS and it had "lost the power to bulk-buy".
"As a result, hospitals are wasting millions that should be spent on patient care," Mr Reed said.
"These plans will not reverse that." | A new central procurement list for NHS England aimed at ensuring hospitals get the best price for supplies could help save £500m, the government says. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | But the Treasury says the changes will save over £4bn a year from 2016 and claims most working families will still be better off by 2017, as a result of the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to income tax thresholds.
People have been contacting the BBC about the recent proposals by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Here is a selection for their comments:
@goonerfm tweets his alternative:
Leza Brumbill in Romsey, Southampton: I am a single mum with three boys.
I go to work 24 hours a week, and have to pay for childcare. I rely on my tax credits to top up my earnings.
The pressure is on me to provide a loving, secure, good standard of living for my children but cutting my taxes by nearly £1,000 is going to put more pressure on me to achieve this.
Rachel in Norfolk: I believe the cuts should go ahead. I live in a deprived area. My husband has a zero hour contract and only works a few hours a month. He primarily cares for our daughter. I work full-time.
Our net income is about £2,000 per month at best. We know families on tax credits who have higher net incomes than us but pay almost no tax and National Insurance.
These families can afford to smoke, drink, go clubbing and eat out yet we cannot. It is demotivating, going to work and knowing others earn more than you for doing less.
I have started to wonder why I don't take a less stressful job for a minimum wage and receive tax credits to top it back up.
Peter in Rochdale messaged on WhatsApp to express his concerns as a single parent:
Sharon Court in Portsmouth: We are a working family, but our income is low.
I have a degree and I do freelance work part-time as my children are in primary school.
Without tax credits we would almost certainly be plunged into debt. Raising the minimum wage is important, but it has no direct impact on me as I'm self-employed.
Lots of people like me are slipping through the cracks.
Martin Godfrey in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire: I have never claimed tax credits. I object strongly to a system that hands my hard-earned taxes to people who should be taking responsibility for their own lives and the decisions they make rather than relying on the state to look after them.
@anequal tweets his satisfaction at the House of Lords' rejection of the chancellor's plans:
Lee Dunlop in Williton, Somerset: My wife and I receive tax and child tax credits.
I work 25-30 hours per week as a school caretaker.
My pay is £8.08 per hour out of which I contribute towards a pension.
I am ex-army and in February 2013 received a kidney transplant. I am unable to work more hours. What are we supposed to do?
Stacey Sutton in Worcester: These tax cuts will be catastrophic for my family.
I have a six and one-year-old. Nursery fees are extortionate. I work 16 hours per week and my husband works in retail full-time - it's barely above the minimum wage.
I want to work. I don't want to just be sitting at home claiming off the state. Even with the tax credits we get now we are really struggling to buy food and pay the bills.
God knows how we are going to be able to afford Christmas!
Tony Dessauer in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire: I had become complacent about the income from the tax credits.
I now deliver groceries 39 hours a week on a low wage. I am 63 and see nothing wrong with working.
I appreciate why there is an uproar about the cuts but I don't believe they should be the norm. People like me who are perfectly capable, should work.
The poorest earners and single parents need help definitely. We should all work if we need to and not rely on the state to pay us a wage.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The dean of Christ Church said the student has been banned from future events and must apologise in writing.
The event was held in December 2016 and the college emailed students about the incident on Wednesday, which it called "deeply regrettable".
Speaking to the Cherwell university newspaper the student said the costume was intended as satire.
Junior censor at the college, Brian Young, said in an email to students that "an offensive item of clothing was worn at a college bop".
He added: "We wish to affirm in the strongest possible terms that Christ Church is firmly committed to equality, diversity, and respect, and we absolutely will not accept any breaches of such toleration.
"Anyone who causes offence by disregarding these commitments is subject to strict college discipline."
The student, who has not been named, told the Cherwell he wore a sign reading "Middle America" and a pillowcase that resembled a Ku Klux Klan hood because the party's theme was 2016.
He said "I did not intend to offend anyone and removed the costume within two minutes of arriving after realising the inappropriateness of it."

Richard Ball, who was known as Boyley, died in a motorcycle accident in May 2002, aged 24, and the Boyley Skate Park in Hastings, East Sussex, is named after him.
This year's BMX event at the skate park will make use of the newly-opened street section.
Sunday's Boyley Jam event includes competitions and demonstrations.
The skate park in White Rock Gardens, reopened in August 2010, replaced an existing facility Mr Ball had helped to design.
The Boyley Trust Fund, set up after the rider's death, donated £15,000 towards the cost.
The park cost £165,000, with £100,000 coming from Hastings Borough Council and £50,000 from the government's Play Pathfinder scheme.
Councillor Emily Westley from Hastings Borough Council said: "The park was already a popular well-used facility for our local BMXers and skaters but now, with this extension so much more is on offer.
"This new street section is suitable for all levels of ability which is something asked for within the extensive consultation we carried out."
Bank and Liverpool Street stations were searched shortly after 17:00 by British Transport Police but officers found "no trace of the man".

The government previously confirmed one legal aid funding application had been granted for Liverpool-based firm Broudie Jackson Canter, who represent some of the other victims' families.
A spokesman for KRW Law, which is representing the eight families, said: "[We] have been offered a contract to continue to represent our client and that this is in the best interests of the effective administration of justice.
"Financial eligibility limits for legal aid have been waived in this exceptional application."

It added they hoped to represent the families at the next hearing later this month and were "cautiously optimistic" they could move forward.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | For many youngsters the dreaded snub can be enough to put them off the game for life but, after being turned down by Exeter City at the tender age of nine, Ollie Watkins tried his luck again at the same club, and was this time accepted.
Now 20, the forward is taking League Two by storm and has won the Football League's Young Player of the Month award for March, proving it is how you get up from a fall that really counts.
"When you're younger it's not as much of a big deal," he told BBC Sport. "I got into the Exeter academy at under-11s - I came for my first trial when I was nine and didn't get in.
"If it came when I was 16 I'd have been very disappointed, but luckily I had that time to improve and become a better player."
Chelsea, Paris St-Germain and Bournemouth - some of the teams that winners of this season's monthly Football League award have represented before finding their feet in the professional ranks.
For Watkins, it has been a more humble rise to the first team at Exeter, including a loan spell at National League South side Weston-super-Mare last season.
"That played a big factor I think, playing 25 games for them," he added. "Playing men's football was very helpful for me and scoring goals there was a bonus as well - it was just expressing yourself."
Would the Newton Abbot-born striker have traded his football upbringing for something more glamorous?
"I've come up through Exeter, I've been given a chance like some other young players and I'm very grateful of that," said Watkins.
"I would say it is easier, because they (bigger clubs) bring in more experienced players for a lot bigger money, whereas teams like us, we don't necessarily have the money like Chelsea."
Scoring the winning goal against your fiercest rivals - it is what players dream of as kids, which was not long ago for Watkins.
But how about scoring twice against them in the last 10 minutes, including a stoppage-time winner from more than 25 yards, all in front of your own fans?
It may sound like a Hollywood script, but it is exactly what the attacking talent pulled off as Exeter came from behind to beat Plymouth on 2 April.
"That's indescribable really, it's definitely the highlight of my career at the moment and I'd hope for many more goals like that," he said.
"I have a lot of people that believe in me and I believe in myself - it's not just a one-off.
"I haven't come in, scored a couple of goals and that's it - hopefully I can keep these numbers up."
Exeter were 14th in League Two before Watkins' purple patch but now find themselves on the brink of the play-off places.
Scoring seven goals in an eight-game spell has helped him make a name for himself as an exciting talent, but what position does he actually play in?
"I'm still trying to find it really," he admitted. "In the reserves and through the youth team I was playing on the wing, but now I find myself in the number 10 role, which seems to be paying off lately."
That is putting it lightly - the club have even starting selling Ollie Watkins merchandise, adorning the phrase "he's one of our own".
Despite the meteoric rise, his Exeter team-mates are ensuring the youngster's feet remain grounded.
"Apparently there's this rule for away games that the youngest lad on the coach makes the coffees, so that's me - always me."
Exeter are a club with an ever-growing reputation for producing players and selling them on for big profits.
Matt Grimes is now at Premier League Swansea. Tom Nichols, an FA Cup scorer against Liverpool, joined Peterborough during the January transfer window. George Friend is chasing promotion to the Premier League with Middlesbrough.
"He's working incredibly hard, he's defending for the team - those things are the attributes which get you in the team in the first place and will keep you there," said Watkins' manager Paul Tisdale.
"He's scoring goals and he's come into a team which is in good form - he's been part of it, he's contributed to it, but he's not the only one."
Tisdale is correct not to give Watkins all the credit for their late push for the top seven, but surely the forward is Exeter's brightest prospect? No, says the boss.
"I'm not surprised people are interested in him, he's proved to be probably our second best young player at the moment behind Jordan Moore-Taylor.
"Jordan's done it over 100 games for us now - Ollie's pretty new to it and he's shown a lot of good attributes other than his talent." | No matter how good a footballer may turn out to be, there is one thing they will almost certainly have experienced at some stage - rejection. |

Summarize the following excerpt. | The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has been considering bids from Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire and Herefordshire.
But the group, which aims to encourage investment in the counties, said it has chosen the Rotherwas Business Park to develop private sector employment.
LEP chairman Geoffrey Davies said that it was a very competitive process.
"If Hereford is chosen to become an Enterprise Zone, and we'll have to wait and see because this is a very, very, competitive process, then that Enterprise Zone will benefit the whole of the Marches LEP area, not just Hereford."
The LEP is made up of councils, businesses and agencies.
The zones mean taxes can be cut and a relaxation of some planning rules in small areas to attract new businesses and create new jobs.
In Hereford, the LEP said there would be a business rate discount worth up to ??275,000 per eligible business over a five-year period.
The bids covered Telford Technology Park and existing business parks in Shrewsbury, the LEP said.
If the Hereford bid is successful, up to 6,500 jobs could be created, they added. The jobs estimate is based on site capacity.
Earlier this year, the government confirmed that the first Enterprise Zones would be based within 11 LEPs led by Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Solihull, Sheffield, Leeds, London, the Bristol area, the Black Country, Derby and Nottingham, Teesside and the North East.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | It's thought the birds would have walked the earth around 61 million years ago.
The bones, found in New Zealand, show the birds belonged to a species that was bigger than today's penguins.
Researchers think the fossil penguin would have been around 1.5 metres tall which is bigger than the biggest penguin alive today, the Emperor penguin.
The new giant penguin lived at the same time as another penguin species that was already known to science.
The bones of this species, which is called Waimanu manneringi, are very different from that of the new giant fossil penguin.
This new discovery shows that penguins were around just four million years after dinosaurs went extinct.
Researchers think that earlier relatives, or the "penguin great-great-grandfather", could have been alive some 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs were still alive.

More than 1,000 ships, including Titanic and HMS Belfast, were designed in the rooms, which fell into disrepair when the HQ became vacant in 1989.

The credentials were found by security firm Palo Alto Networks while investigating suspicious activity on many Apple devices.
It uncovered a malicious software family that targets jailbroken iPhones.
The majority of people hit by KeyRaider are in China but Palo Alto said iPhone owners in 17 other nations had also been caught out.
The theft is believed to be the biggest ever involving Apple accounts, said Palo Alto in a blogpost outlining its findings.
User reports of unauthorised payments being made via iTunes accounts and of apps being installed unexpectedly alerted Palo Alto to a potential problem.
It found that an attacker had made changes to software used on jailbroken iPhones. A jailbroken iPhone is one that can run apps that are not sourced from the main Apple app store.
The main purpose of the booby-trapped software was to let people get apps and other Apple content without paying for them. The malicious version of the code, dubbed KeyRaider by Palo Alto, spied on transactions to scoop up login names, passwords and other credentials.
The stolen data was sent to a remote server run by the malicious hackers behind KeyRaider.
Apple's phones are the third most popular in China behind Huawei and Xiaomi, suggests research.
Security firm Symantec said iPhone-owners were taking a risk by jailbreaking their device because this can remove the security checks Apple introduced to thwart malicious apps.
"Third-party app stores often don't have the same controls and policies in place when it comes to the software they distribute," it said "and may be used to harbour malicious copies of well-known apps or other malware."

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Krishna Maharaj, now 75, spent a decade on death row before his punishment was reduced to two life sentences in 1997.
He says Colombian drug traffickers were responsible for the 1986 shootings of Duane and Derrick Moo Young in Miami.
The hearing, likely to take place later this year, could lead to a retrial or reduced sentence.
At the 11th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida in Miami on Thursday, Judge William Thomas granted the new hearing which will be able to hear from witnesses.
In his ruling, Reuters news agency reported, the judge said he was not "opining on the merits of the evidence" presented by the defence or "Maharaj's ability to establish his right to a new trial".
Lawyers for Maharaj say there is evidence the killings were carried out "at the behest of Pablo Escobar", former head of the Medellin cartel, who was shot dead by Colombian security forces in 1993.
Following the ruling, Maharaj, who previously lived in London, said in a statement: "I am absolutely elated by the judge's decision and I can't wait for the whole truth to come out in court."
His wife, Marita, added: "I don't even know how I feel right now.
"We have been fighting for 27 years. I know we haven't finished yet, but at least we won a battle."
Clive Stafford Smith, director of legal charity Reprieve and a lawyer for Maharaj, said the judge's ruling was "fantastic news".
"Judge Thomas has shown great courage in ordering this crucial new hearing, which is a vital step along the road to finally proving Kris's innocence," he said.
"At last, after 27 years in prison for a crime he patently did not commit, there is a chance that justice will be done in Kris's case."
According to a drug trafficker quoted in the defence motion, the Moo Youngs were "eliminated because they had lost Colombian drug money".
Prosecutors objected to reopening the case, saying the defence motion was based on "hearsay and inadmissible evidence".
Lews Castle Grounds in Stornoway and Dean Castle Park in Kilmarnock have been awarded grants.
It is hoped the restoration of historic Lews Castle Grounds will encourage more people to use the park.
A new space for outdoor theatre, music and crafts is planned at Dean Castle Park, with gardens being restored and the visitor centre improved.
Iain Maciver, of the Stornoway Trust, said of the Lews funding: "This exciting news offers the trust an opportunity to manage the restoration and regeneration of an outstanding asset.
"We are indebted to HLF for allowing us to further progress our vision for the revitalisation of our wonderful legacy."
Douglas Reid, leader of East Ayrshire Council, said: "This is incredible news for Dean Castle Country Park, a place that is hugely important to the people of Kilmarnock and beyond, and we all wish to see it protected and enhanced for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.
"We are delighted with this grant which will enable us to enhance the visitor experience and make it a destination that people of all ages can enjoy in all weathers, all year round."
Colin McLean, head of HLF in Scotland, said: "Using funds raised through the National Lottery, HLF is able to protect these precious places helping make a difference to the quality of life for millions of Scots." | A US judge has ordered a hearing to consider new evidence relating to the 1987 double-murder conviction of a British businessman in Miami.

"The word 'thence' was added to one destination board this morning for the 07:55 Cambridge to King's Cross service. It is the first and last time it will be used at a Greater Anglia station," a spokeswoman for the operator said.
"It was a one-off and not a word we'll be using again."
The station manager had assured the company "thence" would not appear at the Cambridge station in the future, she added.
Dr Bettina Beinhoff, senior lecturer in applied linguistics and English language at Anglia Ruskin University, said: "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, thence is a Middle English word meaning 'from a place'.
"It is associated with archaic language and is now only occasionally used in formal contexts, so it is quite unexpected to see this word in such a modern setting."

Summarize the content given in the passage. | The atlas, which dates back to the 19th Century, is the global reference book for observing and identifying clouds.
Last revised in 1987, its new fully-digital edition includes the asperitas after campaigns by citizen scientists.
Other new entries include the roll-like volutus, and contrails, clouds formed from the vapour trail of aeroplanes.
Since its first publication in 1896, the International Cloud Atlas has become an important reference tool for people working in meteorological services, aviation and shipping.
The first edition contained 28 coloured photographs and set out detailed standards for classifying clouds. The last full edition was published in 1975 with a revision in 1987, which quickly became a collector's item.
Now, embracing the digital era, the new atlas will initially be available as a web portal, and accessible to the public for the first time.
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) publishes the atlas, and also has the final say on the contents, including the addition of "new" clouds and cloud features.
This time around 12 new terms have been added. The best known of these is asperitas, meaning rough-like in Latin, as the clouds can look like the tossing of the waves at sea when viewed from below.

These clouds were first recorded over Iowa in the US in 2006, but soon a torrent of similar images from around the world began to pour in to the Cloud Appreciation Society, a citizen science body.
They began to lobby the WMO for official recognition of the cloud type. But the fact that it has now been officially included came as something of a surprise.
"Back in 2008, I thought the chances of this becoming official were really minimal," said Gavin Pretor-Pinney, president of the society.
"At first the WMO were saying they had no plans to do a new edition, but over time I think they began to realise there is an interest among the public in clouds and there is a need for that interest to be an informed one, there's a need for this authoritative work."
Asperitas becomes the first addition of a new recognisable term since 1953. In addition several other supplementary features of clouds have also been added including cavum, cauda (known as a tail cloud), fluctus and murus (known as a wall cloud).
In terms of the way the WMO classifies clouds, they have also added one new "species" - the volutus, or roll-cloud, a low horizontal tube-shaped cloud mass that appears to roll about a horizontal axis.
A key element in the evolution of the atlas has been the impact of technology. People all over the world are able to capture and exchange images on their smart phones of fleeting cloud formations.
"People don't have to be an official weather observer, they don't have to be schooled in the finer points of the International Cloud Atlas, they just go 'that's amazing' and take a picture and send it to us, and being in the centre of that network we can spot a pattern," said Gavin Pretor-Pinney.
The atlas also includes a recognition of the processes that can lead to cloud formation, so the clouds that arise from wildfires are now classified as flammagenitus.
Similarly patches of cloud that are formed over forests and over waterfalls are classified, but also one of the most widely seen features in the sky, contrails formed from the exhausts of airplanes, are given greater recognition.
"In the modern day you will look up to the sky and see clouds made by airplanes. Once they are made they can linger for days," said BBC meteorologist John Hammond.
"It's one example of how crucial knowledge of cloud physics is - it's not just an aesthetic, our knowledge of clouds is still fairly limited."
The new atlas also recognises some weather features that not everyone might agree can be seen as clouds. These include rainbows, halos, snow devils and hailstones.
"There is a blurred edge between what is a cloud and what is a sheet of hail falling from the sky," said John Hammond.
"There are grey areas around the edge of this. All types of optical effects can be defined as clouds, be they halos or snow devils or rainbows, but I'm a little bit old-fashioned and I struggle with the inclusion of rainbows as clouds."
Hammond believes that there will be many new entries in the future as long as the public remains engaged in the subject and he believes the opening up of the atlas via a web portal is a very good thing towards that end.
Gavin Pretor-Pinney from the Cloud Appreciation Society agrees that opening up the atlas is a huge positive.
"The value of the atlas is that it draws our attention to the sky and by learning the name of the formations, that is the way we pay attention to and value what we see around us.
"By giving a language to the forms of our atmosphere we are helping people to value our atmosphere and to pay attention our impact on it."

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | The samples - taken from post-mortem examinations following unexplained deaths - were found in storage at South Tyneside District Hospital.
Two police forces are now trying to trace relatives after admitting samples were kept "longer than necessary".
The daughter of a Newcastle man, whose samples were among those discovered, has threatened legal action.
The remains were found during an audit at the hospital in South Shields in March 2015.
Cleveland Police said it was dealing with 13 families. Northumbria Police refused to release a figure.
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) said that significant improvements had been made to the systems governing the retention of human tissue samples.
A spokesman said police were involved because the deaths were unexplained and could have resulted in court cases.
A Northumbria Police spokeswoman added: "The audit was completed and we were made aware that some human tissue samples had been identified and kept longer than necessary.
"We have been working with Cleveland Police to establish the identity of the samples and to find the relevant next of kin.
"We understand this will be upsetting to those involved and we will offer them as much support as possible.
"In any unexplained death, human tissue samples are retained as part of the investigation for evidential purposes and to determine the cause of death.
"In some cases, this material can be retained for significant periods of time to support the criminal investigation and fulfil legal requirements."
But Sarah Simpson, whose father Terence died in a fall from a roof 22 years ago, said she was "appalled" to be told his tissue samples had been stored.
She said he had been cremated with the family believing his body was "intact".
Ms Simpson added: "I have put in a complaint to the police and the coroner and I will be taking legal action if I don't get the right answers to what happened." | Organs and tissue samples from at least 13 dead patients were removed and kept without the knowledge of families. |

The heads are inspired by traditional Chinese zodiac statues which once decorated a fountain clock at an imperial palace retreat in Beijing.
His interpretation is part of the park's 40th anniversary celebrations.
Each sculpture in Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads (2010) is cast in bronze and weighs 363kg.
The artist said he wanted the work to be playful and accessible to the general public.
"I want this to be seen as an object that doesn't have a monumental quality, but rather is a funny piece," he said.
"People can relate to or interpret on many different levels, because everybody has a zodiac connection."
The palace which housed the original zodiac heads - Yuanming Yuan - was ransacked in 1860 by the British and French.
Since then only seven of the heads have been returned to China - the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, horse, monkey, and boar.
The other five - dragon, snake, goat, rooster, and dog - have yet to be found.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Justice Minister David Ford introduced what he said were necessary cuts to payments to lawyers in May.
Defence lawyers have withdrawn from new criminal cases requiring legal aid in protest at the changes.
The BBC understands there is a backlog of 531 cases relating to 629 defendants that have been delayed over the row.
The cases are understood to cover crimes including murder to drink driving.
The legal aid reforms were made after the Department of Justice faced reductions to its budget, with Mr Ford saying Northern Ireland could not continue to fund the UK's highest level of legal aid pay.
The Bar Council and the Law Society of Northern Ireland, which represent barristers and solicitors, brought a joint challenge over the cuts to legal aid fees.
Last week, a judge said the new rules did not provide fair pay to solicitors in some criminal cases, but he refused to quash the reforms.
A senior Northern Ireland law lord said on Friday the dispute had caused "a significant and growing backlog" of court cases and he appealed for the row to be resolved.
At the start of a review of criminal cases at Belfast Crown Court, Lord Justice Weir said he wanted all parties "to do their very best to bring the matter to an early conclusion".
He said defendants "quite understandably, are reluctant to proceed" with cases as they could not access expert legal advice.
"When the disagreement is ultimately resolved there will be continuing delay while the necessary weeks or months of preparation that has been postponed is then carried out," he added.
He said judges could also "clearly see the increasingly adverse effect that its continuation is having upon the due administration of criminal justice".
It has also emerged that prosecution lawyers have their own row over fees with the director of Public Prosecution Service.
During the same criminal cases review hearing, several prosecution lawyers said their governing body, the Criminal Bar Association, was disputing a new fees scale as set out by Barra McGrory QC.
However, they said many would still appear "as a matter of courtesy" to the courts.
They added that their dispute may only be resolved once the row involving defence lawyers has ended. | More than 500 criminal cases are currently unable to proceed due to a dispute over reforms to legal aid fees in Northern Ireland. |
Summarize the passage below. | This year's total is now more than 171,000, the interior ministry said, beating the previous record of 170,100 in 2014.
About 4,690 migrants have died or gone missing trying to cross the Mediterranean in 2016, the UN says, which is also a record number.
The arrivals are putting increasing pressure on Italy's asylum system.
More than 176,000 people are now being housed in reception centres across the country.
The majority of migrants arriving in Italy come from African countries, the interior ministry said, including 36,000 from Nigeria, 20,000 from Eritrea and 12,000 from Guinea.
Many intend to travel north, with Germany and Sweden among the popular destinations.
The rise in numbers reaching Italy comes after migrant routes via Greece and the Balkans were largely closed down by an agreement between the EU and Turkey in March. In 2015 more than a million migrants arrived in Europe, mainly through Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned last week that he could let more migrants through if talks on EU membership for Turkey were frozen.
Rescues or tragedies are being reported almost every week, with migrants frequently crossing the Mediterranean on packed, flimsy boats.
On Monday, Italy's coast guard said about 1,400 people had been rescued from 11 inflatable dinghies and two small boats off the coast of Libya. | The number of migrants arriving in Italy from North Africa has risen to its highest-ever level. |

A total of 11.1m people watched Jason Kenny win keirin cycling gold on BBC One, while BBC Two and BBC Four had their highest viewing figures of 2016.
BBC Sport's online coverage set new records, reaching 68.3m devices in the United Kingdom, and 102.3m globally.
The biggest single day for digital traffic was Sunday, 14 August - with 19m unique browsers across the world.
That date became known as 'Super Sunday' after Great Britain won five gold medals, making it the country's most successful day at an overseas Olympics.
Cyclist Mark Cavendish helped BBC Two reach a peak audience of 7.5m when he won silver in the omnium on Monday, 15 August, while BBC Four drew in a 2016 high of 3.4m viewers.
Britain were second in the medal table in Rio, with 27 gold medals, 23 silvers and 17 bronzes, as they finished behind only the United States.
Barbara Slater, the BBC director of sport, said: "We are delighted that so many people came to the BBC for our Olympics coverage and joined us in celebrating the extraordinary success of Team GB.
"We are incredibly proud to bring moments of national significance such as these magnificent Games to the widest possible audience."
A total of 29.3m global browsers have followed the Games in Rio via live pages on the BBC Sport website and app with streams, text updates, clips, medal tables, schedules and catch-up.
No fewer than 30.2m UK browsers have streamed the action on BBC iPlayer and on BBC Sport. The most popular streamed event was the men's singles tennis final, in which 1.9m browsers followed Britain's Andy Murray as he retained his Olympic title by beating Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.
The total of 'unique browsers' is calculated by the number of devices - televisions, computers, mobile phones and so on - being used to view online coverage, which is why it was possible for the UK digital audience to total 68.3m, even though that is greater than the country's population.
Ben Gallop, BBC Sport's head of digital and radio, said: "With Team GB performing heroics, we wanted to deliver all the medal moments and breathtaking action to audiences wherever they were online - and in doing so we're delighted BBC Sport has cemented its position as the number one digital destination for sport."
