Can you summarize the given article? | A 34-year-old man was seriously injured in Ashgill Road, in the city's Milton area, at about 00:25 on 23 July.
Police previously said that he had been attacked by four men and the incident was being treated as attempted murder.
A 28-year-old has been arrested and is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday. A 27-year-old man was arrested last month.
They are looking into one of the black boxes recovered at the scene of the collision, on a remote single-track line north of the city of Bari.
The system relied on telephone calls and "human error" remains the main line of inquiry, reports say.
Dozens of rescue workers are still searching the wreckage.
The inquiry is focusing on the lack of automatic signalling system on a small part of the Italian railway network.
The stretch of track between the towns of Andria and Corato in the southern region of Apulia where the crash happened did not have an automatic alert or brake system.
It relies on station masters phoning one another to advise of trains running on the single track.
"Surely one of the two trains shouldn't have been there," railway police Cdr Giancarlo Conticchio is quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
"And surely there was an error. We need to determine the cause of the error," Mr Conticchio said.
The collision took place in good weather at 11:30 local time (09:30 GMT) as the trains were travelling at high speed between the towns of Bari and Barletta.
Both trains had four carriages.
Local officials said it was difficult to say how many people were on board the train at the time as there was no list.
Fifteen people are being treated in hospital for their injuries, and some of them remain in a critical condition. Officials initially put the number of dead at 27 but local authorities said later that 23 people had been killed.
Most passengers had no warning of the impending disaster which one witness compared to a plane crash.
One woman, eight months pregnant, described the moment of impact,.
"I was thrown forward, I don't know what happened, it all happened so quickly. I saw my mother on the ground, my father and my sister bleeding. The people on the train helped us."
One elderly man said he was knocked to the ground, while his wife described how she came across body parts as she freed him.
"I pulled him from under the debris, myself barefoot, from under the debris and metal," she told local TV. "I went to my husband screaming. I pulled him by the legs and feet. I climbed past people in pieces, how sad. There was nothing I could do."'
Cranes and heavy lifting equipment have been clearing the wreckage. The army is helping the operation.
Relatives of the victims are going to the mortuary in Bari to help to identify the dead.
Italian PM Matteo Renzi visited the site on Tuesday and promised a full investigation. He described the death toll as unacceptable.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Deborah Streatfield, founder of the MyBigCareer charity, said it seemed "absurd" to depend on a handout from another western European country.
The charity works to improve careers advice and to widen job opportunities for deprived youngsters.
Johann Falkenberg from St Paul school in Bergen said it was "important to help" people wherever they lived.
MyBigCareer is a charity that aims to "break down barriers to social mobility".
As a recent example, Mrs Streatfield says, it supported young people by paying £5 or £10 to help with travel fares for an open day for medicine courses.
The charity recently highlighted cost barriers to careers, such as a hospital charging £500 a week for young people wanting work experience to help with their applications to become doctors.
"We started with nothing and sadly cannot help more students unless we obtain more funding," said Mrs Streatfield.
But teachers in Norway, who met Mrs Streatfield on a visit to London, are now organising fundraising events, such as a concert and cake sales, with the aim of raising several thousand pounds.
Mr Falkenberg says the UK's debate about a lack of social mobility is not familiar to Norwegians.
"It's not a problem here," he said.
But he said teachers and pupils visiting London had been "really shocked to see that some children do not have the right books or have to borrow clothes for school or can't cook themselves a meal".
The school is going to support the charity as part of its Helping Others project.
Mrs Streatfield said: "It does seem absurd that although our current work is focused in England, we are relying on western European countries to help the UK.
"We are beyond grateful for the support from Norway which will facilitate our growth and reach."
A seminar on social mobility in the UK, to be held at the London School of Economics on Thursday, will hear that too little progress is being made.
It will be addressed by Prof Stephen Machin, research director of the Centre for Economic Performance and author of a landmark report in 2005 highlighting the lack of social mobility.
Prof Machin will say that a decade later there are few signs of improvement, and in some cases the problem is getting worse.
"The UK's low level of social mobility is not just a problem for those from poor families - it's a problem for the economy too. The large number of young people who are not able to reach their full potential is a tragic waste of talent," says Prof Machin.
Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust education charity, which aims to improve social mobility, says: "We need to think radically about how to break the UK's cycle of low social mobility.
"We must build better access to our top universities and ensure internships are paid and advertised. Otherwise the prospects for improved social mobility will remain bleak for future generations," says Sir Peter, who will also speak at the seminar. | A school in Norway is raising funds to support a UK charity working to improve social mobility. |
Summarize the passage below. | Paul Whyte assaulted Robert Phin after his girlfriend Hollie Rodger distracted him by asking him for a lighter.
Whyte held Mr Phin in a headlock as he rifled through his pockets and stole about £140.
Dundee Sheriff Court was told that three weeks later, in the same spot on Dundee's Provost Road, he attacked Iain Minto and stole £300.
Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told the court: "CCTV was reviewed and on this occasion the accused and Miss Rodger were seen running away shortly after.
"Independent witnesses to the second robbery had seen him loitering in the area."
Whyte, 31, a prisoner at HMP Perth, admitted two charges of assault and robbery committed on 13 August and 3 September last year.
In a letter to the court, Whyte said he was "ashamed" and asked for "help to become a normal member of society" when he is released from prison.
His lawyer, Anne Duffy, added: "He understands that a lengthy custodial sentence is the only option.
"These were horrific offences.
"I've been trying to get to the root of his offending and it goes back to his upbringing."
Sheriff Alastair Brown imposed a six years and seven months extended sentence, with four years and nine months in custody and one year and 10 months on licence.
He said: "You selected victims who were vulnerable and assaulted and robbed them.
"You did significant psychological damage to at least one of them - probably to both.
"Your criminal record is atrocious." | A man who carried out two "horrific" attacks on vulnerable victims has been jailed for four years and nine months. |
Give a brief overview of this passage. | "Irn Bru! Carrot top! Ginger minger! Duracell!"
Even former equalities minister Harriet Harman got in on the act in 2011, when she called Lib Dem MP Danny Alexander a "ginger rodent".
Now Edinburgh's copper tops have decided enough is enough, and taken to the streets to march for Ginger Pride.
But is "gingerism" really that serious?
Singled out
Among the hundred or so red heads at the march was Fiona Inglis from Edinburgh.
She loves her ginger hair now - but says school was a different matter.
"You don't want to be singled out, and having bright orange hair you definitely feel different," she said.
"That Prodigy song Fire Starter was a nightmare! I remember at school walking into the library and all the sixth years bursting into song with 'I'm a fire starter, twisted fire starter'.
"It's almost like ginger is a bad word. It's like any discrimination really. It's just picking on people, and it's not right."
Laura-Ann Horne from Stirling said she came to the march because her nine-month-old daughter Ivy has red hair.
ScotlandsDNA
She said: "My experience growing up was horrible. As a teenager, it was quite hard to live with - the names you get are things too rude to say.
"I do worry about it for my children. Hopefully by the time Ivy goes to school it will be less of a problem."
Serious message
According to the ScotlandsDNA project, only about 0.6% of the world's population has red hair.
In Scotland, the figure is thought to be about 13% - approximately 650,000 people.
The Edinburgh Ginger Pride rally was organised by Canadian comedian Shawn Hitchins, who is performing his show, Ginger Nation, at the Edinburgh Festival.
There's no doubt it has generated valuable publicity for him: a large gaggle of photographers and journalists turned up for the march. Gingers make good pictures.
And he's not the only one cashing in on the ginger gene.
Later this month dozens of gingers will take to the skies as Flybe attempts to break an unofficial record for "most redheads on a plane". Even the crew will be redheads.
Irn Bru have run a series of ginger-themed advertising campaigns.
But Hitchins insisted there was a serious message behind his stunt.
"Gingerism does exist, people do experience bullying, and people do feel discriminated against," he said.
"They are very few and far between in Canada, so for me it was one more thing that added to my sense of isolation as a gay kid.
"It was that one more thing where I felt I just don't belong."
And there have been reports of incidents where "gingerism" has gone beyond a bit of name-calling.
In 2007, a family from Newcastle said they were forced to move home by a gang who targeted them over their ginger hair.
Kevin and Barbara Chapman said they and their four children endured more than three years of taunts, smashed windows, graffiti and violence.
"The abuse we get is unbelievable," Mr Chapman said at the time.
"They've been punched and kicked and thrown over a hedge. Every time they go out these gangs get to them."
'Ginger and proud'
But not everyone with red hair has had such a bad experience.
Back at the march, crowds of tourists gathered to take photographs of the flame-haired procession up the Royal Mile.
Heather Hughes from Paisley was among those waving a Ginger and Proud banner. She said she has always loved having red hair.
"My family were always saying 'your hair's fantastic', or you'd get little old ladies coming up to you in the street, so I've always loved it.
"There was picking on, but I think it makes you tough. If I was a brunette, I'd probably be a very shy brunette, as opposed to a very loud ginger.
"I'll definitely be here again, it was fantastic."
Next year, Hitchins promises the march will be even bigger - and even redder. | If you, like me, were born with red hair, the chances are you grew up experiencing all manner of creative name-calling. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Kris Doolan's ninth goal of the season leaves United trailing Kilmarnock by five points with six games left.
But it could have been so different had United taken one of a glut of chances they created, especially in a dominant first half.
"We created so many chances, enough to win a couple of matches," he said.
"We can only blame ourselves. It was amazing. It was November, December time, back there again.
"Chance after chance and we don't take them and you wonder whether that will come back and cost us - and it did. We simply need to put those chances away.
"In the first half, we should have been out of sight. In the second half, we lost a grip of the game."
Alan Archibald's Thistle go level with Dundee in sixth place, although the Dens Park men hold the advantage with a better goal difference.
Archibald told BBC Scotland: "Dundee United were by far the better team in the first half and we struggled to deal with their energy and their direct style of play.
"I thought the days were gone of needing to have a go at half time, but it wasn't good enough.
"We told the lads the way United would play and to expect that battle and we didn't deal with it.
"They won every second ball. Every respect to them, they're fighting for their lives.
"They caused us problems putting direct balls over the top, and we've got to deal with that better."
The Jags travel to Ross County on Saturday, while Dundee host Hamilton Academical as the battle for a top-six spot reaches the final weekend.
"Our goal at the start of the week was 'can we go to Dingwall with a chance?'" added Archibald.
"We need favours, we know that now with the way the results have went.
"It gives us a good chance up there, we'll take a good crowd, it gives us a fantastic opportunity to get in that top six and we can't wait." | Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen said his players can only blame themselves after they fell to a 1-0 defeat by Partick Thistle at Firhill. |
Summarize the content of the document below. | There's been an outcry, from consumers and producers alike, who are worried that a product parading itself as full-blood Wagyu beef may not be the real deal. Especially if it's a burger going for less than about $5 (£3.20), the price attached to some fast-food Wagyu burgers being sold around South East Asia.
About 10 years ago, for example, you may have been asked to pay as much as $130 (£85) for a Wagyu steak sandwich.
Admittedly, it was in London's up-market Selfridges store - and it was heralded at the time as the city's most expensive sandwich.
But still, a piece of buttery, sweet and succulent Japanese full-blood Wagyu meat should most certainly cost much more than $5, say most farmers and restaurant owners.
In fact, a juicy well-marbled 200g steak in some of the world's top restaurants can set you back as much as $200 - or more.
Its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness has been described by food aficionados, gourmet grocers, master butchers and cattle breeders as one of the most extraordinary meat products the world has to offer.
So when burgers containing very little full-blood Wagyu meat are on the market - it's a cause of concern for Wagyu cattle breeders, especially farmers in Japan, where the fullbreed has been named a national living treasure, and where the product is carefully protected and trademarked.
It's also a cause of concern in Australia - now a major exporter of the product.
In October last year, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission launched its investigation.
The watchdog said it was concerned that products being labelled Wagyu were in fact derived from crossbred cattle, and that this "may have the potential to mislead consumers into thinking that the beef is derived from the (full-blood Japanese) Wagyu breed of cattle".
The Australian Wagyu Association, which represents both full-blood and crossbred Wagyu breeders, says it supports the investigation - and stresses its concern over "truth in labelling and product integrity".
But as some breeders continue to work towards creating a more honest marketplace, and the government's national investigation continues, Wagyu meat is becoming more widely recognised - and retailers everywhere want a slice of the action.
In Singapore alone, countless restaurants, cafes and even fast-food outlets offer Wagyu beef on their menu - and Wagyu burgers are the trend.
Retailers selling good quality burgers are most likely to tell you straight away where their meat comes from and how they mix up their patties, while others offering cheaper options are likely to avoid such questions.
One of Singapore's best-known steak houses, The Prime Society, orders a lot of Wagyu from Australia, and promises if customers want to find out exactly where their meat is from, they can.
"Sometimes I even leave the label on to show authenticity," says the restaurant's sous chef Muhamad Zulkefle.
A 200g piece of Australian full-blood Wagyu from a farm called Mayura Station at the Prime Society will set you back close to 90 Singapore dollars ($62; £40).
"If really our customers have more questions, then I can show them my invoices and the meats I've ordered," Mr Zulkefle adds. "I like to be able to say that what you see is what you eat."
In Hong Kong, a well-known restaurant called Wagyu imports all its meat from Australia. Manager Felix Lee told the BBC a full-blood 220g sirloin sells at his restaurant for about $615 Hong Kong dollars ($80; £52), and is one of the most popular choices for lovers of the tender meat.
Meanwhile, Mos Burger, which is headquartered in Tokyo, offers Wagyu burgers through its Singapore stores for as little as $4.85 Singapore dollars ($3.50; £2.30).
The firm has more than 25 stores in Singapore, and some 1,400 in Japan, but, the firm would not respond over the phone or to several written requests for information about its beef products.
"I doubt very much a Wagyu burger selling for $5 anywhere would be 100% Wagyu," Mayura Station's founder, Adrian de Bruin, said earlier this year. "In fact, I'm sure it couldn't be."
Mr de Bruin, who was appointed to the Order of Australia for his services to agribusiness, is credited with importing Australia's first black-haired Wagyu cattle from Japan in 1998, and Mayura Station is regarded today as one of Australia's top Wagyu breeders.
He said very cheap Wagyu patties "could possibly have some Wagyu trim mixed with other products", but was adamant that such products should not be labelled "Wagyu", and that crossbred products coming out of Australia should be clearly labelled.
"There's nothing wrong with selling a crossbred product," he said. "Just be honest and say what it is."
"In some places though, you wouldn't have a clue what will turn up on your plate when you order Wagyu.
"Unless you're educated and your palate is educated - you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Because some Wagyu just isn't Wagyu." | It's the world's most expensive beef, but Australia's competition watchdog is currently investigating meat products that are labelled Wagyu. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | He was speaking in Atlanta in the wake of mass protests surrounding the shooting dead of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white policeman.
Mr Holder was speaking at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where Martin Luther King preached.
President Barack Obama has requested funds to improve training and provide body cameras for the police.
The shooting of Mr Brown in August in Ferguson, Missouri, has reignited tension over relations between young African-Americans and the police.
Most of Ferguson's police are white, while the town's residents are mainly black.
A grand jury's decision last week not to charge police officer Darren Wilson over Mr Brown's death sparked violence across the US.
A mass walkout was held on Monday as employees stopped work and students left classes.
Mr Holder was in Atlanta to meet law enforcement officials and community leaders at the request of President Obama.
In a speech during a forum titled "The Community Speaks", Mr Holder said that the police cannot be seen as an "occupying force". The issue, he said, was larger than just the police in the community.
"Our overall system of justice must be strengthened and it must be made more fair," he said.
Mr Holder said he would update department of justice guidance on racial profiling by federal law enforcement.
"This will institute rigorous new standards and robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all," he said, to applause and cheering from the audience.
However his speech was disrupted by protesters who shouted slogans and waved placards calling for "an end to police murder".

What is the summary of the provided article? | The family is still waiting for DNA results to confirm the body's identity.
Seen as Africa's Che Guevara, the anti-imperialist revolutionary was hastily buried in a 1987 coup.
Permission for an exhumation was denied during the 27-year rule of his successor Blaise Compaore, who was ousted in an uprising last year.
Mr Compaore has always denied being involved in the ex-leader's killing, insisting that the "facts are known" and he has "nothing to hide".
While he was in office, a Burkina Faso court blocked a request by Mr Sankara's family for his remains to be exhumed.
That changed last year when a transitional government came in after street protests.
The exhumation started in May but the autopsy report was delayed during last month's seven-day coup.
Ambroise Farama, one of the lawyers representing the Sankara family, said that the revelations about Mr Sankara's body were "mind-boggling", the AFP news agency reports.
"You could say he was purely and simply riddled with bullets," he said.
Autopsies on the other 12 soldiers buried with him in 1987 revealed they had only one or two gunshot wounds.
"But as far as Thomas Sankara was concerned, there were more than a dozen all over the body, even below the armpits," Mr Farama is quoted as saying.
Soldiers linked to Mr Compaore were behind last month's putsch, which delayed presidential elections due last Sunday.
Burkina Faso's interim government has now rescheduled the poll for Tuesday 29 November.

Can you summarize the following information? | Buildings at London's King's College Hospital, Sheffield's children's hospital and the North Middlesex Trust have been found to have combustible cladding.
Those three trusts along with another 16 have also introduced 24-hour fire warden patrols to improve safety.
Checks on cladding used at five sites have yet to be finished.
Of the three that failed, one - the building at King's College - is an office block and does not house patients.
The other two sites have failed on buildings that house patients, but do not keep them in overnight.
Steps are under way at all three to improve safety.
But a spokesman for NHS Improvement, which regulates hospitals, said there would be "no disruption to patient services" while changes were being made.
The urgent checks were ordered by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt following the Grenfell Tower fire.
A total of 38 trusts were identified last week as being of highest risk as they were already known to have been struggling with basic fire standards or had high-rise buildings that had cladding.
The review has now found the cladding at 11 sites passed the checks, while the other 19 sites which flagged up potential fire safety issues have been told they do not need to take further action.
King's College Hospital has already removed the cladding from its office building as a "precautionary measure", while steps are being made at the other two sites to remove it.
In Scotland, health boards have confirmed combustible cladding has not been used on any buildings. | Three hospitals in England have failed fire safety checks ordered in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire. |
Summarize the content given in the passage. | Output rose by just 0.2% in the month, much lower than the 0.8% increase forecast by economists.
Manufacturing output - a key component of overall industrial output - grew by 0.2%, which was also much weaker than expected.
Separate figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the UK's trade deficit narrowed in April.
The goods trade deficit with the rest of the world narrowed to £10.4bn from £12bn in March, which was mainly due to a sharp fall in imports.
The overall trade deficit - covering goods and services - narrowed to £2,1bn in April from £3.9bn the month before.
The ONS said that in the three months to April industrial output was down by 1.2%, driven by falls in energy and manufacturing.
That backs up the picture of the UK economy losing momentum in the first few months of the year.
Last month, the ONS estimated that the economy grew by just 0.2% in the first three months of 2017.
That made the UK the worst performer among the G7 nations in the first quarter of the year after outpacing them in 2016.
The ONS said the first-quarter slowdown was partly due to consumer-focused industries suffering as people cut back their spending in the face of accelerating inflation. | The UK's industrial output rose by much less than expected in April, according to official data. |

Please give a summary of the document below. | The Tanzanian-registered Hamal was intercepted by the Royal Navy frigate HMS Somerset and the Border Force cutter Valiant about 100 miles east of Aberdeen on 23 April.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said more than three tonnes of cocaine had now been recovered.
Nine men have appeared in court.
The vessel was taken to Aberdeen harbour where a search began, led by Border Force officers.
John McGowan, senior investigating officer for the NCA, said: "The search of this vessel has been lengthy and painstaking, undertaken by hugely skilled specialists working in difficult conditions.
"The result is this massive discovery - believed to be the biggest single class A drug seizure on record in the UK, and likely to be worth several hundred million pounds.
"Our investigation continues, but the operation was only possible thanks to the close co-operation between the NCA, Border Force, the Royal Navy, plus the French DNRED and our other international partners. The extensive operation in Aberdeen was given substantial support from Police Scotland."
Nine men, all Turkish nationals aged between 26 and 63, have been charged with drug trafficking offences over the estimated £500m ($770m) haul.
They appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday where they were remanded in custody, until their next expected appearance on Tuesday 5 May.
Stefano Brizzi, 51, was sentenced to life in prison in 2016 for murdering PC Gordon Semple and was ordered to serve at least 24 years in jail.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed Brizzi, an HMP Belmarsh prisoner, died in custody on Sunday.
His trial was told he had tried to eat his victim's flesh.
Brizzi denied trying to cannibalise parts of PC Semple, from Greenhithe in Kent, by cooking and then biting into a rib.
But at his sentencing, the prosecution said an expert odontologist had since confirmed that even though Brizzi claimed not to remember it, he had in fact tried to eat flesh.
He was caught when neighbours reported a foul smell coming from his flat in south London.
The pair met on the dating app Grindr and at his trial Brizzi claimed PC Semple, 59, had died during a "sex game gone wrong".
Jurors did not believe him and found Brizzi guilty of murder by a majority of 10-2 after five days of deliberation.
The court was told Brizzi was a fan of the US TV show Breaking Bad in which the protagonists dissolve a rival drug dealer in a bath filled with acid.
When investigators visited Brizzi's flat in south London they found "globules" of flesh floating in the bath, plus bags containing bones and pools of human fat in the oven.
In a statement the MoJ said: "HMP Belmarsh prisoner Stefano Brizzi died in custody on Sunday.
"As with all deaths in custody there will be an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman."
The MoJ has not indicated a cause of death and said that would be determined by a coroner. No date has been given for an inquest. | Cocaine seized from a tug in the North Sea could have been worth more than £500m - believed to be the biggest single class A seizure in the UK.

Can you write a short summary of this section? | Police said the "beloved pet" called Herby was taken from a garden shed in Crosslea Avenue, Sunderland.
The family, who have asked not to be named, are said to be devastated and fear the animal may not survive if it is abandoned.
Herby is about 1ft (30cm) long and weighs around 15 lbs (7kg) with a white line down the middle of his shell.
Ch Insp Sarah Pitt, of Northumbria Police ,said: "This has had a massive impact on the owner.
"An offender has forced entry into an outhouse and stolen the animal from the back garden of the property leaving the family completely devastated.
"We would ask neighbours and people living in the area to check their gardens to see if the tortoise has been dumped by the offender."
A spokesman for the family, who have offered a reward for the safe return of the tortoise, added: "We are desperate to have Herby returned home to us as he has been in the family for as long as we can remember.
"All we want is for him to be returned to us safe and unharmed. This incident has left us really distressed.
"Herby has spent his entire life in our home and must be really frightened to be in such a strange place."
The theft happened on the evening of 17 August.
The Modern Slavery Act has increased the maximum custodial sentence for offenders from 14 years to life.
It also gives courts powers to impose orders to restrict the activities of suspected traffickers.
Anne Read, of the Salvation Army, said thousands remain trapped in slavery.
The new legislation also gives victims extra protection against prosecutions for offences committed as part of their exploitation and provides slavery victims access to civil legal aid.
Powers to encourage reparation orders, for courts to use seized assets from perpetrators to compensate victims, have also come into force.
The bill - which was given Royal Assent in March - aims to consolidate offences used to prosecute those who enslave others into a single act.
The plans were first unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May in August, last year.
Home Office figures estimate there could be between 10,000 and 13,000 people who remain trapped in modern day slavery in the UK.
They including women forced into prostitution, domestic staff who are imprisoned, and people forced to work in fields, factories and on fishing boats.
To coincide with the new legislation, the College of Policing has published new national guidance on investigating slavery and human trafficking.
It says the "primary objective" of investigating allegations is to safeguard and support victims. and includes guidance on how officers can identify people who may be at risk of becoming a victim of trafficking or forced labour.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the guidance warns officers that victims may be experiencing so-called "Stockholm syndrome", where they have positive feelings towards their captors.
It warns it may take "months to obtain evidence from them", our correspondent said.
Ms Read, anti-trafficking and slavery director at the Salvation Army, said: "Everyone engaged in this work is pleased that something is being done, there is now an escalation in effort.
"There are thousands of people trapped in situations not of their choosing, doing things they do not what to do and things need to be done to help them and to stop anybody else being sold in to slavery."

Can you summarize the given article? | Luis was sent off for a first-half challenge on Lionel Messi described by Barca coach Luis Enrique as "shocking".
Godin received a second caution for a late challenge on Luis Suarez, who earlier scored the winning goal.
Atletico coach Simeone said: "I have nothing to reproach them for."
Even with nine men Atletico were not overwhelmed by the champions but Simeone admitted Barcelona may be difficult to catch in the title race.
He added: "They have players who decide games, a three-point lead, and a game to play. The league is long, but they don't stumble very much.
"I am proud of my team. It kept its character throughout. You can win, or you can lose, and I choose to lose this way any day.
"They had two chances and scored on both, and even playing with nine we put a late scare into them.''
Barcelona are unbeaten in La Liga since early October but despite pulling clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, Enrique insists a successful title defence is not a formality.
He said: "It is clear it is an important day for us to pick up three points against our closest rivals, but there is a long way to go.
"Every game presents its difficulties and you don't always overcome them in the most effective or spectacular way."

Please summarize the given passage. | Grouped together under the title Queers, the eight 15-minute monologues begin with The Man on the Platform, set in 1917 and written by Gatiss himself.
The monologues will be staged at the Old Vic theatre in London in July before their television airings.
Gatiss said he was "thrilled and delighted" to be curating the series.
"It's a marvellous opportunity to celebrate LGBT life and culture, to see how far we have come and how far we still have to go," he went on.
Actress and singer Jackie Clune and Brian Fillis, of An Englishman in New York and The Curse of Steptoe fame, will also write pieces for the project.
The other five writers - who include Guardian journalist Gareth McLean and former UK poetry slam champion Keith Jarrett - will all be making their TV writing debuts.
The pieces will address the Wolfenden Report of 1957, which recommended that homosexuality should no longer be a crime; the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which made gay relationships legal for men aged 21 and over; and the HIV crisis that decimated the gay community in the 1980s.
According to BBC Four, they will "mark and celebrate some of the most poignant, funny, entertaining, tragic and riotous moments of British gay history and the very personal rites of passage of gay Britons through the last 100 years".

Give a brief summary of the content. | The images, recently restored in Jersey by Kevin Lewis, are understood to have been filmed by troops chronicling their occupation of the island.
It was owned by John Davies who moved to Jersey from Wales in 1929 and had business interests in Guernsey.
Mr Lewis said the footage was probably last watched shortly after the war in the late 1940s.
The video is about seven minutes long, which Mr Lewis said could make up a significant part of all available footage of the occupation due to restrictions on filming put in place by the German authorities.
The 16mm films were discovered in Jersey amongst Mr Davies personal effects after his death. It is believed the footage was "liberated" from German soldiers in Guernsey.
It depicts aspects of ordinary life and training for the German soldiers, including firing anti-aircraft guns and driving tanks.
Kevin Lewis, who restores old films as a hobby, said projects like this have challenges of their own.
"The film was very, very concave. It was very old. The only way I can show it is to put it in the projector backwards and project it through a mirror.
"Sadly, if a great uncle passes away all of these films go into the skip. I can often be seen climbing into skips saying 'this is our heritage, when it is gone it is gone and we need to preserve it'," he said.
The film is being offered to the Imperial War Museum to be re-printed and fully restored before being put into the Jersey Archive.

Write a summary for this information. | Clashes erupted between protesters and police in Kadikoy Square, in an echo of protests in the city earlier this year.
In a northern town Mr Erdogan denounced people he said were setting anti-Turkish "traps" to undermine his rule.
The sons of two cabinet ministers have been charged in a big corruption probe.
The investigation has led to charges against 24 people so far. They are suspected of involvement in bribery, in connection with urban development projects and the allocation of construction permits.
Baris Guler, the son of Interior Minister Muammer Guler, and Kaan Caglayan, son of Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan, are among those detained, as is the chief executive of the state-owned Halkbank, Suleyman Aslan.
In Twitter comments on Sunday the two sons denied the accusations.
Commentators in Turkey report that the arrests and firings reflect a feud within Turkey's ruling AK Party between those who back Mr Erdogan and supporters of Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic scholar living in exile in the US.
In Istanbul protesters chanted "everywhere is bribery, everywhere is corruption". It was an echo of the Taksim Square mass protest this summer, when opposition activists chanted "everywhere is Taksim, everywhere is resistance".
Police on Sunday used tear gas and water cannon to disperse them in streets where protesters had set fire to makeshift barricades.
In the Black Sea town of Giresun, Mr Erdogan told a crowd of supporters that his Islamist-rooted AK was facing a "dark plot" by forces outside Turkey who wanted to split the country apart.
"Let our friends and foes know this. Whoever dares to harm, stir up or set traps in this country, whoever tries to touch our independence, we will come to break those hands," he said.
In the summer police fought running battles with anti-AK protesters over plans to develop Gezi Park, in the heart of Istanbul.
The controversial arrests in the anti-corruption crackdown began last week when police launched dawn raids in Istanbul and Ankara.
Mr Erdogan reacted angrily and on Thursday the head of Istanbul's police was forced from his position. More than 30 senior police officers have reportedly been sacked.
Members of Mr Gulen's Hizmet movement are said to hold influential positions in institutions such as the police, the judiciary and the AK Party itself.
Mr Erdogan's defiant message drew criticism from Turkish press commentators on Monday.
Semih Idiz in the leftist Taraf said that "as in the Gezi incidents, Erdogan thinks he can get out of this scandal by linking the issue to a conspiracy organised by internal and external powers".
Asli Aydintasbas in Milliyet wrote that "Tayyip Erdogan will probably win the fight that he has got into against the Gulen Movement by using the sanction power of the state - but then the regime that is built will be a 'Tayyip Erdogan regime' and not a democracy".
Ali H Aslan in the moderate Zaman said "Erdogan likes to take the credit when things go well and accuse his friends, partners or unrelated parties when things go badly...

The UK prime minister, who had promised not to call an election before 2020, said she planned to call a snap general election on 8 June.
But European Council President Donald Tusk's spokesman said the 27 other EU states would forge ahead as planned.
"The UK elections do not change our EU27 plans," Mr Tusk's spokesman said.
He added: "We expect to have the Brexit guidelines adopted by the European Council on 29 April and following that the Brexit negotiating directives ready on 22 May. This will allow the EU27 to start negotiations."
Mr Tusk and Mrs May had a "good" conversation on the phone following the announcement, the council president tweeted.
Using his personal account, Mr Tusk also tweeted: "It was Hitchcock, who directed Brexit: first an earthquake and the tension rises."
An EU official on the negotiating team told the BBC that they were hopeful the outcome may even improve negotiations.
"This is a domestic matter for the UK. But we have some hope that this will lead to a strong leader in London that can negotiate with us with strong backing by the electorate," the official said.
"This does not change things. We are ready. Early June was always the calendar."
The European Union won't have much to say on the record about Theresa May's decision to call a snap election - the UK is still a member state after all and it's not the done thing to comment on internal political manoeuvrings.
But no British election campaign will ever have been watched quite so closely from Brussels.
That's not because Mrs May, if she wins, will have a clear personal mandate for her vision of Brexit. The European side would always have assumed that whoever was in Number 10 had the authority to negotiate for the UK.
It's more because they expect to learn a lot about Mrs May's vision for Brexit in the heat of campaigning - and also about the visions of the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the other parties who'll make their presence felt.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel echoed the sentiment, saying "predictability and reliability" were "more important than ever" in the wake of the Brexit vote.
"Any extended period of uncertainty is surely not good for the political and economic relations between Europe and Great Britain," he said in a statement. "Hopefully, the elections announced today by Prime Minister May can lead to more clarity and predictability in the negotiations with the European Union."
But others were less positive, with many focusing on the risk Mrs May and the Conservatives are potentially taking.
Belgian MEP Tom Vandenkendelaere, of the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) grouping, tweeted: "Understandable choice to strengthen negotiation mandate for #Brexit, but at the same time huge gamble and risk of even greater instability."
There was also speculation among European politicians over what impact the election result would have on Britain's approach to Brexit.
Jo Leinen, a German MEP in the Party of European Socialists (PES), tweeted: "The elections in #GB on the 8th June are the perfect opportunity - especially for the young generation - to avert hard #Brexit."
Polish MEP Ryszard Czarnecki, of the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists political group, tweeted: "The Tories probably win, and GB will have a stronger mandate for the negotiations with the EU on Brexit."
In Russia, meanwhile, the Kremlin has said it has "no particular interest" in the election.
"No, there is no particular interest in it. Just, let's say, ordinary monitoring of the international situation. It is no business of ours," presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said. | The States of Jersey tug boat will be turned into a floating cinema for the Jersey Boat Show.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | In a speech, he said people should not have to "make trade-offs between privacy and security".
While not naming Facebook and Google explicitly, he attacked companies that "built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency".
Rights activists Privacy International told the BBC it had some scepticism about Mr Cook's comments.
"It is encouraging to see Apple making the claim that they collect less information on us than their competitors," Privacy International's technologist Dr Richard Tynan said.
"However, we have yet to see verifiable evidence of the implementation of these claims with regard to their hardware, firmware, software or online services.
"It is crucial that our devices do not betray us."
Addressing an audience in Washington DC, Mr Cook said: "I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information.
"They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetise it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be."
Mr Cook had been given a corporate leadership award by the Electronic Privacy Information Centre, a US-based research group.
According to TechCrunch, he later added that Apple "doesn't want your data".
Google has not commented on Mr Cook's comments specifically, but a spokeswoman referred the BBC to the privacy section of its website, which the company has recently updated.
"Ads are what enable us to make our services like Search, Gmail, and Maps free for everyone," one page reads.
"We do not share information with advertisers in a way that personally identifies you, unless you gave us permission."
Facebook suggested this page outlining how it collects user data.
While Apple does not hold the same wealth of data looked after by Google and Facebook, it does use personal information to target advertising.
A page for marketers on Apple's website offers "400 targeting options" for reaching users.
It reads: "Whether you're looking for moms or business travellers or groups of your own customers, we've got you covered."
Apple's lack of data, when compared with some of its rivals, could be a disadvantage for future devices. Services such as Google Now, which use stored data to predict what information users may need, require vast amounts of personal data to be effective.
Mr Cook also spoke at length about encryption.
His company introduced encryption measures by default to its devices late last year, a move heralded by privacy campaigners but heavily criticised by several governments.
Mr Cook hit out at governments that had pressured technology companies to allow for so-called "backdoors" to aid with counter-terrorism and other enforcement.
"There's another attack on our civil liberties that we see heating up every day," Mr Cook said.
"It's the battle over encryption. Some in Washington are hoping to undermine the ability of ordinary citizens to encrypt their data."
He added: "If you put a key under the mat for the cops, a burglar can find it too."

But in many respects the Bank of England remains cocooned from the real world behind its fortress-like facade on Threadneedle Street in the heart of the City of London.
An event organised by the Bank this week, however, was an attempt to lower the drawbridge just a little. Open Forum 2015 is thought to be the first time that a central bank has invited the public to a debate about the role financial markets play in society.
Andy Haldane, the Bank's chief economist, says the words used by the public to describe financial markets - "corrupt; unreliable; rigged" - underline why this event was worth holding.
He describes the forum as the start of a process to close that yawning gap between those who work in the financial sector - and the rest of us on the outside.
About half the 400 people who attended Open Forum 2015 were those working in the financial sector, as well as businesspeople from other industries, academics, politicians and clergy. The remainder had applied for a place in a public ballot and Mohini Patel, a fixed income dealer at Hermes Investment Management, was one of those who did so.
"The opportunity to engage with central banks in this kind of forum doesn't come about very often," she says during the lunch break at the Guildhall, just around the corner from the Bank - 400 people couldn't fit in Threadneedle Street, apparently.
Ms Patel says she wanted to hear what the speakers, who included Chancellor George Osborne, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi, Mark Carney, the Bank's governor, and his deputy Nemat Shafik had to say.
Putting aside a reservation that the event was more a conversation than one aimed at producing "outcomes", Ms Patel says: "It's a positive thing, definitely - it's quite impressive that the dialogue is open."
John Hearn, a senior economics lecturer at IFS University College that offers professional education for the financial services and dates back to the Institute of Bankers that was founded in 1879, says he attended Wednesday's function with the aim of "asking some awkward questions" and the hope of increasing the public's financial literacy.
"We'll only solve financial problems if people understand what the issues are - and an event like this throws it out much more widely."
As the Bank was given far wider powers over the financial system in the wake of the crash some eight years ago, it's only right that it should try to be more transparent, says BBC Economics editor Robert Peston.
"Given that the governor of the Bank of England is not elected, there is a fear that the Bank is super-powerful but not answerable to the people - having this sort of public consultation is a step in the right direction," he comments.
"If it's just a PR exercise it's worthless, but if the Bank can demonstrate that it's listening to what people are saying then that would be a good thing."
But back to the cheerleaders for a moment. Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange Group, was a panel member for one of the morning's breakout sessions, snappily-titled, "Improving the effectiveness of market finance in serving the economy".
He describes the forum as "pretty visionary and very ambitious" given that no central bank has staged an event like this before.
To be fair, it tried to be as inclusive as possible, with parallel events in Birmingham and Edinburgh, a Twitter hashtag that attracted more than 3,000 tweets, a webcast of the whole event and an online seminar in which 5,000 school students took part. (You can catch up on the Bank's YouTube channel - some 10,000 people have logged on so far.)
Mr Rolet believes the event is part of the drive to ensure the financial sector is "at the service of the real economy" and help create high-quality jobs.
When so many people still associate financial markets with corruption and nefarious activities, there remains a need to hold up a mirror to it, says Michael Salib, a Bank of England employee currently studying for a Master's degree at the London School of Economics.
The poor perception that the public have of the industry should be a wake-up call, he argues.
"The job is not done - although a lot of regulation has been put in place, communicating to the public what that means clearly hasn't worked for that lack of confidence to be there still."
So what will Open Forum 2015 achieve? Mr Haldane who helped shape the event, he calls himself the "party planner", says: "I hope today has moved us on a step in the debate about finance. And it wasn't scripted to within an inch of its life."
He feels it also underlines the Bank's drive to be more open.
"This is the most 'One Bank' thing we've done in my 26 years at the Bank by a mile - it involved absolutely everyone. It's a risky thing - in the business of central banking it's quite out there."

One of the men claimed to be a police officer. He showed them identification and checked their belongings.
The pair later discovered a "four-figure sum" of money had been stolen.
The theft is not thought to be linked to other recent incidents in Scotland involving fake police officers.
Police said the first suspect was east Asian, with a slim to medium build and 5ft 7ins tall. He was 30-35 years old, with short black hair and unshaven.
He was wearing a brown jacket and carrying a black backpack.
The second man is described as white, of medium build, 6ft tall, about 50 years old, with a deep scar on his right cheek.
He spoke with an English accent and was wearing a black beanie hat and a full-length black coat.
Insp David Robertson appealed for witnesses to come forward and said the theft was currently being treated as an "isolated incident".
He added: "Our officers will always be in possession of photographic identification and will be able to provide you with a unique identification number.
"If you are still unsure, please call us on 101 as the call handler can check their credentials for you and officers will be happy to wait until this has been done."
Three cabins at Pelsall Villa FC, including a new toilet block and snack bar, have been destroyed by the fire.

Provide a summary of the section below. | The space is elegantly furnished. Mr Hall says the standard of the finishes and attention to detail has met with an enthusiastic response from his customers.
"When they come here for their walkthroughs and the closings, I've had several clients that literally cried when they saw it - with joy."
But there's something very unusual about these dwellings. They are situated many metres below ground in an obsolete nuclear missile site, in the middle of Kansas in the US.
Mr Hall calls his development Survival Condos. "These are luxury, nuclear-hardened bunkers that are engineered… to accommodate not just your physical protection but your mental wellbeing as well," he says.
Despite the fact that the apartments cost millions of dollars each to buy, starting at $1.5m (£1.2m), Mr Hall says he is seeing strong demand from wealthy customers.
It seems extraordinary, not least because nearby above-ground homes (admittedly without protection against nuclear bombs) can be had for a tiny fraction of the cost of one of these bunker units. So how has he managed to build an apparently successful business selling "survival chic"?
It all began after the 9/11 attacks in New York in 2001. At the time Mr Hall was an entrepreneur with an internet business; he also had experience of designing and constructing computer data centres.
Demand for computer back-up facilities grew after the terrible events of 9/11, says Mr Hall. This gave him an idea: make a data centre that could withstand a nuclear bomb attack.
Potential clients showed interest in such a facility. It was a short step from this to the notion of offering bunkers that could give long-term protection for residents against nuclear war or other disasters.
The Kansas site eventually chosen for the venture used to house an intercontinental ballistic missile.
There are many such abandoned missile launch bases across the mid-West, but Mr Hall says only a small number were in a fit state to be realistic prospects for the project. Even then, he says, the construction and engineering challenges involved in building the facility were daunting.
Still, the site had one huge advantage - it came with built-in protection against nuclear bomb blasts. If you had to build this element from scratch today, "you'd better have a very thick cheque book, it's very expensive," Mr Hall says.
Mr Hall says he has spent millions on providing the complex with every possible feature to keep residents safe both now and for an indefinite period, should a catastrophic event occur.
These include air and water filtration systems, a range of energy sources (including wind power), and the capacity to grow plants and breed fish for food supplies. Armed guards patrol the entrance.
There are many other features too, such as a cinema, swimming pool, surgery, golf range, and even a rock climbing wall. "It's like a miniature cruise ship," says Mr Hall.
He believes that luxury touches like these could help to explain a development that may seem a little surprising.
At first, he says, clients saw owning an apartment as "like life insurance", just something to be used in case of an emergency. But now some purchasers have come to regard their apartments as second homes, making regular use of them for weekends or longer breaks.
"Everyone comments on how well they sleep here," he adds.
Mr Hall is by no means the only player in the specialist market for survival bunkers, with rivals offering facilities at several locations across the globe. But with his use of luxury elements, experts say, Mr Hall is exploiting a growing trend.
"There's a market now because the traditional idea that somehow… you should 'rough it for the sake of your soul' is disappearing," says Peter York, an adviser to many large luxury businesses.
In this market, he says, "you're hitting a cohort of rich people who don't value the idea of even temporary Spartan-ness - they want everything to be luxurious all the time."
Even though he may be pushing at an open door, Mr Hall says he faces many challenges in running his business, over and above the obvious difficulties of building the facilities in the first place.
One of the biggest issues is marketing. His clients, many of whom are wealthy, tend to be secretive.
"Saying that you own a bunker apparently, for whatever reason, is just like saying you saw a UFO. A lot of these people have learned that they don't want other people to know that they have a bunker," he says.
Then there is the question of how residents would get along together in the aftermath of a catastrophic event.
Mr Hall says he has put a lot of effort into researching the psychological aspects, with the aim of ensuring that the underground community would function well in times of calamity.
Measures taken include special lighting, and varying ceiling heights, with high ceilings in communal areas, and lower ones in the medical wing "where people may feel vulnerable", says Mr Hall.
In a long-term situation where the complex was secured against the outside world, residents would rotate various jobs on a monthly basis.
"One month you might be working in the general store, the next month you'd be working in the hydroponics, tending the plants," says Mr Hall. This would help to keep people occupied, as well as ensuring that, over time, "they have a complete understanding of the facility".
Despite the challenges involved, Mr Hall appears to enjoy himself, with one complex already completed, and another one well under way. "It's a lot of fun building these," he says. | Larry Hall leads the way out of the elevator and into an apartment, one of several in a new development that he has recently built. |
Summarize the content provided below. | Foam used by firefighters to tackle the blaze when the plane from Luton came down, in 1999, had unsafe levels of acid in it, investigators found.
Guernsey Water, said regular tests were carried out in the years since and no contaminated water entered the supply.
Andrew Redhead, of the firm, said: "There is no danger to the public."
Tests carried out at the site showed Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), which was previously used in firefighting foam, had been found to be 10 times the safe limit, Mr Redhead said.
He said: "This particular field drains down to Petit Bot and Petit Bot is a pumping station where we're able to take water quality samples.
"If the water there isn't of a satisfactory standard then we don't pump it up and over into the reservoir.
"We make sure the water quality is tested very rigorously throughout the island and I can assure you the water is perfectly safe to drink."
A Public Services Department spokesman said as PFOS was being detected in ground water they wanted to remove the soil "to protect supplies".
About 14,000 tonnes of soil, contaminated by the same chemical, at the island's airport was removed last year and placed in a sealed container in a raised grass bund outside the airport entrance as part of an ??80m airfield refurbishment.
The soil from the field, which covers an area of about 60m (200ft) by 30m (100ft) to a depth of 2m (7ft), is due to be put in a smaller container at the western end of the bund.
The Public Services Department is currently looking for a company to apply to carry out the work, which it hopes will be carried out in the late summer or early autumn during drier weather.
The chemical entered the soil when the airport fire and rescue service controlled a blaze caused by a cargo plane crashing into the field on 12 January 1999.
The Channel Express Fokker F-27 had flown in from Luton to deliver a total of three tonnes of newspapers to the island and was on its final approach when it suddenly pitched, stalled, span and hit the roof of a nearby house before crashing into the field.
Two crew members on board, Captain Martin Bulgin, 36, from Dorset and First Officer Ian Rhodes, 41, who lived in Swindon, died in the crash.
Reports at the time said it was "miraculous" no one on the ground was hurt as the owners of the house hit by the plane were in another part of the building.
A row of houses were also only several feet from the crash site.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch report, released in April 2000, concluded the crash was caused because of incorrect storage of the newspapers on board, affecting the twin-engined plane's weight distribution.

Summarize the provided section. | Mr Bhatti, 57, was travelling from Moga to Jalandhar to promote his new film Power Cut when his car hit a tree early on Thursday, reports said.
The comedian was hugely popular in the 1980s and 1990s when he did hit television shows like the Flop Show and Ulta Pulta (Upside Down).
He had also acted in several Hindi and Punjabi films.
Bhatti's son Jasraj, who was driving the car, and the film's heroine, Surili Gautam, were also injured in the accident, Press Trust of India reported.
They have been taken to a hospital in Jalandhar, it said.
Mr Bhatti will be cremated later on Thursday, reports said.
The comedian used humour and satire to highlight serious issues like corruption, inflation and female foeticide.
He also did street theatre and addressed what he called "mock press conferences" where he mocked the authorities for their failures.
The actor had criticised Hollywood for casting black British actors in films about US race relations.
On Monday, he told radio station Hot 97: "I don't know what the love affair with all that is... we've got a lot of brothers here that need to work too."
Jackson has now said his criticism was not of other actors but the Hollywood system in general.
"It was not a slam against them, but it was just a comment about how Hollywood works in an interesting sort of way sometimes," the actor told the Associated Press.
He was complimentary of the work of black British performers in American roles, but said things were rarely the other way round.
"We're not afforded that same luxury, but that's fine, we have plenty of opportunities to work," he said.
Speaking about his British counterparts, he added: "I enjoy their work... I enjoy working with them when I have the opportunity to do that."
In his original interview, Jackson said he wondered what the film Get Out would have been like with a US actor.
The film is about an African-American photographer, played by British actor Daniel Kaluuya, who has a white girlfriend.
Jackson said: "I think it's great that movie's doing everything it's doing and people are loving it. But... I know the young brother who's in the movie, and he's British."
"I tend to wonder what that movie would have been with an American brother who really feels that."
"Daniel grew up in a country where they've been interracial dating for 100 years," he added.
"What would a brother from America have made of that role? Some things are universal but [not everything is]."
Jackson also referred to the Martin Luther King Jr drama Selma, which starred the British actor David Oyelowo as King.
His comments sparked criticism, and Star Wars actor John Boyega made reference to the debate on Twitter, saying it was a "conflict we don't have time for".
Earlier in the week when Jackson was asked why British actors were getting the roles, he joked: "They're cheaper than us, for a start.
"And [directors] think they're better than us because they're classically trained."

Please summarize the passage below. | David Goodwillie, who has played for Dundee United and Aberdeen, was not represented by a legal team in court.
Judge Lord Armstrong asked him: "I take it by your presence you wish to insist on your defence in this action?" Mr Goodwillie replied: "Yes."
The player has denied raping the woman at a flat in Armadale, West Lothian.
The Court of Session in Edinburgh was told that the solicitors who previously represented Mr Goodwillie had withdrawn, prompting the Plymouth Argyle striker's personal appearance on his own behalf.
Lord Armstrong told Mr Goodwillie, 27, that it was open to him to seek other lawyers to act for him and that the Law Society of Scotland could assist.
The judge said there was an issue that could arise if the footballer continued to be unrepresented. This related to him questioning, in cross-examination, the woman who has brought the action.
"If it is thought appropriate that arrangements or adjustments could be put in place, I will obviously consider that," Lord Armstrong said.
Simon Di Rollo QC, for the woman, said the matter had been discussed with her but that it had been on "a hypothetical situation".
A rape accused in the criminal courts in Scotland is prohibited from personally questioning an alleged victim.
The woman raised a £500,000 damages action against Mr Goodwillie, who has also played for Blackburn Rovers, and another footballer, David Robertson.
The 30-year-old woman claims she was raped by both men in the early hours of 2 January 2011 at a flat in Armadale.
She said she had been at a bar and nightclub and alleges that she was "visibly and obviously severely intoxicated".
The woman maintains that when sex took place she was incapable of free agreement because of the effect of drink.
She claims that both men were aware that she was incapable of giving free agreement to the sexual conduct.
Both men deny the allegations and maintain sexual intercourse was consensual.
Earlier this week, Lord Armstrong refused a bid to overturn a decision that the player would set aside £100,000 ahead of the proceedings.
His lawyers had previously agreed to the move to allow the sale of his house in Scotland to go through.
But they maintained that if the order was not recalled, he faced being left without legal representation for the complex and lengthy civil court action because he had no other available funds.
The solicitor advocate then acting for him, Jonathan Nisbet, said the property had been sold but Mr Goodwillie had anticipated receiving a larger sum for it than he did.
He had expected it would sell for £380,000 but it went for £40,000 less and the mortgage repayment figure was higher than anticipated.
"The net effect is he has been left with £100,000," he said.
Mr Nisbet added: "The difficulty this presents for him is he has no money other than the £100,000 to pay for his legal representation."
He said that if the order was not recalled, it was likely that his agents would withdraw. It was estimated it would cost about £90,000 for agents and counsel to defend him.
The court was earlier told that the woman's lawyers now valued the claim, if successful, at approximately £250,000. | A former Scotland international footballer has told a judge he will be defending a damages claim brought by a woman who alleges he raped her. |

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Mohammed Nisham drove his Hummer into his guard Chandrabose, pinning him against the wall, before attacking him with a metal rod last year.
Nisham, 38, supposedly attacked Chandrabose because he had been slow to open the gate to his apartment.
Chandrabose, aged 50, died after spending two weeks on life support.
Nisham will be sentenced on Thursday. The prosecution has sought the death penalty.
Police charged him with murder following the attack in Thrissur city in January last year.
The Supreme Court had rejected his bail plea, saying the case was "an example of how the rich have become entirely egocentric and megalomaniacs".
Nisham faces a second court case over an incident in 2013 when he permitted his then nine-year-old son to drive his Ferrari.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Angela Poole, 49, of Derby and George Taylor, 56, formerly of Derby, made false claims through the Access of Work scheme.
They also evaded income tax, Derby Crown Court was told.
Poole, who denied the charges, was found guilty and jailed for four years.
Taylor, who pleaded guilty to two charges of fraud and one of cheating the public revenue, will be sentenced later.
Department for Work and Pensions spokesman Matthew Bentley said: "If Angela Poole was matching the level of work she claimed, she would have been working 21 hours a day to generate the £200,000 she was claiming a year.
"The pair spent much of the money travelling the world, often claiming for work while they were out of the country. She even claimed for £5,000 even though she was on holiday in Dubai."
Poole ran Angel Interpreting and BSL Talking Hands, two British sign language firms, along with Taylor.
The investigation also uncovered tax avoidance of more than £690,000 - making the total fraud more than £1m, a revenue and customs (HMRC) spokesman said.
Justin Tomlinson, minister for disabled people, said: "Access to Work is a vital scheme that supports disabled people into employment and for someone to defraud it on this scale is appalling."
The couple falsely claimed they had provided the sign language work through two firms they operated between 2008 and 2013.
The department began investigating after it was tipped off by deaf people in Derby that the couple were making false claims.
"Tax fraud is a serious criminal offence and Poole must now pay the price for stealing money from taxpayers which could have been used to fund vital public services," Gary Forbes of the HMRC's criminal taxes unit said. | Two sign language interpreters have been found guilty of making false benefit claims and tax evasion of more than £1m in a scam that helped them pay for expensive holidays abroad. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | Carolyn Keeling, now 64, was accused of having sex with the boy who is now 34 and cannot be named for legal reasons.
Mrs Keeling, of Taynton near Gloucester, had denied six counts of indecent assault.
The mother-of-two, who had an unblemished career, was accused of having sex with the boy on at least 100 occasions between 1993 and 1996.
A jury took three hours to find Mrs Keeling not guilty at Gloucester Crown Court.
Speaking after she was cleared, she said she was very grateful to the National Union of Teachers for backing her financially and her ex-colleagues, friends and family.
"These two years, two months and however many days have been very stressful and now I have a life that I can lead," she said.
"It is with you every minute of every day and it just never goes away."
Mrs Keeling added it is important young people feel they will be listened to if they reported alleged abuse to the authorities.
"But there must be a way of doing more research as if the police had done this they would have known that I hadn't done it."
The boy, who is now a father of three and battling a heroin addiction, made the allegations to his mother in 2012 after reading of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
He later reported it to police in April 2013 and an investigation started.
Mrs Keeling told detectives of her shock at what the boy was saying.
"He was just a nice lad. (I am) gobsmacked that he would do this. This is my worst nightmare," she said.
Mrs Keeling rejected claims that she had smoked cannabis and drank wine while teaching him, and insisted she had not slept with him.
She said she took the boy out on trips to Gloucester city centre, to the countryside and horse riding, and accepted she had not stopped him smoking cannabis at his home.
In a statement Gloucestershire Police said the evidence was put before the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) "who deemed it appropriate to bring charges and prosecute Carolyn Keeling".

It began in April and cases continued to be identified until June.
Public Health Wales said a multi-agency outbreak control team had taken measures and it was now over.
Heather Lewis, consultant in communicable disease control, said: "Hepatitis A has a long incubation period - or time during which the illness can develop in the body - which is why we have needed to wait three months to declare the outbreak over.
"As part of our work to limit the spread of the disease, we held vaccination sessions at a number of schools, an after school club and a nursery."
The 22 tube assemblies will require 150 workers at Rosyth in Fife and Bristol.
The contract is part of the common missile compartment (CMC) project for the UK Successor and US Ohio Class replacement submarine programmes.
The work will get under way towards the end of this year.
It is expected to complete in the early 2020s.
The contract was awarded to Babcock by US defence contractor General Dynamics Electric Boat.
Successor-class submarines are due to replace the current Vanguard fleet, which carry Trident missiles.
The contract announcement was made by the UK government as the SNP conference re-affirmed its opposition to nuclear weapons.
UK Defence Minister Harriett Baldwin said: "I am delighted that Babcock have secured this critically-important project.
"This contract is a strong endorsement of our highly-skilled and globally-competitive defence industry and will secure hundreds of jobs in Rosyth.
"With Faslane set to be home of all the Royal Navy's submarines by 2020, this is further evidence of the benefits that defence brings to the economy and to Scotland."
Ceredigion councillors said all signs at the new branch should be in Welsh and English.
But the firm said "Foodhall" was a brand name and was not translated anywhere.
M&S removed the planned sign from its original application to allow the store to open but has now lodged a fresh one.
The firm's new application reiterates its claim that M&S Foodhall is a brand name under the Marks and Spencer trademark.
It said there was no legal requirement for it to provide bilingual signs as the law only applies to public sector bodies and private firms in the gas, electricity, postal and railway industries.
It added it did not translate branded signs in its international stores in countries such as Turkey, Ireland and India.
Aberystwyth Town Council has once again objected to the application, saying it expected the Welsh language "to be at least as prominent as the English".
Chris Bentley, M&S Aberystwyth store manager, said: "All directional signage in-store will be bilingual and colleagues that speak Welsh can be identified via badges this is in line with our language policy created with the Welsh Language Commissioner."
The blast struck the family's van in the Marjah district, a Taliban stronghold, local police chief Nabil Jan Mullahkhail told reporters.

What is the summary of the provided article? | Now in what is understood to be the first case of its kind, Jason is taking legal action against the government for its role in his father's death.
More than 2,000 people - mostly haemophiliacs - have died after being infected with HIV and hepatitis C through blood treatments.
The victims were infected over 25 years ago, in what has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS. But even now new cases are still being diagnosed.
BBC Panorama has spoken to Jason and some of the other families affected.
"My first memory of my dad is the last time I ever saw him," says Jason Evans. "It was my birthday, I was four years old."
Six weeks later, his father Jonathan died. He was 31 years old.
Jonathan Evans was one of many people to have been given a treatment known as Factor VIII.
Made in huge vats from the blood plasma of thousands of people it meant if just one donation was infected with a virus, it could contaminate the whole batch.
In England and Wales, the NHS relied on blood products from the US, but as the Aids crisis unfolded, in 1983 newspapers had begun asking questions about the safety of American blood products.
Jason recently discovered that in late 1984 - his father had raised concerns with his doctors about Factor VIII but he says he was told "there was nothing to worry about, this is sensationalism and not to pay attention to it. And he trusted his doctor".
"I think the moment there was a suspicion the Aids virus may be in these products, patients should have been given the choice of whether they wanted to take that gamble and play Russian roulette with their life," Jason says.
Jason is now suing the government for negligence and a breach of statutory duty for "their role in this scandal that ultimately led to infecting my father with HIV for a product they knew to be dangerous".
Des Collins of Collins Solicitors, acting for Jason, says: "This will be the first direct challenge of its type and throughout, our aim will be to support and represent families affected by this scandal."
Two inquiries have been carried out and, in 2015, the then Prime Minster David Cameron apologised to thousands of victims.
The current government has resisted calls for a fresh inquiry but last year it announced more money would be available to those affected by the scandal.
It has been 27 years since Janet and Colin Smith's son Colin died aged seven.
Colin was born with haemophilia - but it was the treatment he was given that killed him.
In June 1983, eight weeks before he was first treated, a letter was sent out to haemophilia centres recommending children should be treated with NHS concentrates, not US Factor VIII.
But the guidelines were not followed and Colin was given his first dose of American concentrate shortly before his first birthday. His parents still do not know why.
The couple were eventually told in a hospital corridor their son had tested positive for HIV.
"They said: 'Oh, Colin's tested positive for HIV'. We didn't even know what it was really," Mr Smith says.
The couple say they became known as "the Aids family" and were forced to move. "It was written on the side of the house... just 'AIDS' in big capital letters."
"Towards the end, we were picking up our son in sheepskin because we'd hurt him - he'd lost so much weight," Mrs Smith says.
They want the government to be held to account.
"Who's to blame? Are they stupid or just incompetent? It's one or the other isn't it? It's somebody's fault," she says.
The couple visit their son's grave twice a week.
"I miss him so much some days... He could have lived a normal life. Such a lovely little boy. Just so unnecessary."
In 2015, Michelle Tolley was told she had hepatitis C.
In 1987, she had been given a blood transfusion after haemorrhaging when she gave birth to her first child, and again after giving birth to twins in 1991.
"I was like 'no, no, no... you're telling me I've had hepatitis C for 28 years?' Growing silently - because they call it the silent killer," she told Panorama.
The NHS had run a campaign to encourage people who might have been given contaminated blood to get tested.
"I went along to my GP at the time to inquire, just to be told 'don't be silly, you won't have that'. It made me feel like a silly little child, that was just wasting somebody's time," she says.
Hepatitis C gave Michelle cirrhosis of the liver - which can cause cancer.
"I get angry days - really, really angry where I feel like I'm being deprived of my life," she says. "And I'm frightened I'm going to die."

Summarize the provided section. | Mark Beards said Pte Cheryl James told him a sergeant had told her to do it, and while she never mentioned the word, Mr Beards assumed it was for sex.
He was accused in court of lying, but he said he was prepared to take a test to prove he was not.
Pte James, 18, of Llangollen, was found shot dead at Deepcut barracks in 1995.
She was one of four recruits to die in shootings at the Surrey Army base in a seven-year period.
Mr Beards told Surrey Coroner's Court in Woking that Pte James had told him the night before she died that she had been told to go to a room to meet his friend, Pte Ian Atkinson, known as Aki.
"She said, 'I've got to do it. Gav (Sgt Andrew Gavaghan) ordered it'," he said.
Mr Beards said he told Pte James she did not have to do anything she did not want to do, but she had replied: "Don't get involved. You'll get hurt."
"The next morning she was dead," he said.
Mr Beards said he had not given police full details because he believed it would get back to Sgt Gavaghan, who he understood was liaison officer for Surrey Police.
But counsel for both the police and the Ministry of Defence accused him of inventing the story.
John Beggs QC, representing Surrey Police, said: "You are someone who lies at the drop of a hat."
Nicholas Moss, for the Ministry of Defence, told him: "You are a liar, a fantasist and probably a bit of both."
And another MoD lawyer, Francesca Whitelaw, said: "You are the one who made the leap that she was ordered to have sex.
"I suggest to you it is the stuff of utter fantasy, full of inaccuracies, unreliable and a complete fabrication."
Mr Beards admitted he had changed his accounts over the years since Pte James's death but said he was now telling the truth and would be prepared to take a lie-detector test.
The inquest heard that earlier the same evening Pte James had asked another soldier, in front of her boyfriend, Pte Paul Wilkinson, for sex.
Andrew Carter said: "I was quite shocked and surprised, and Paul was quite agitated."
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
A friend told the court that on a previous occasion when she had been drinking, Pte James had spoken about how it would be "really easy to shoot yourself".
Yvonne Sneddon said her friend had made the "odd" remark a few months after another recruit, Pte Sean Benton, had been found shot dead at the Surrey barracks.
"It sent a chill through me," Ms Sneddon said in a statement.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Pakistani officials said Ali Haider Gilani would be transferred to Pakistan after undergoing medical checks.
Mr Gilani was abducted three years ago in his home town of Multan as he was campaigning in elections for the Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP).
The Afghan envoy to Pakistan said he was held by an al-Qaeda-linked group.
"He is well and will be repatriated to his family soon," Dr Omar Zakhilwal said on his Facebook page.
The Nato-led mission in Afghanistan said he had been rescued in a joint operation in the eastern Paktika province, not in neighbouring Ghazni as earlier reported.
"The counter-terrorism mission was planned and launched after evidence of terrorist activity was confirmed," the Resolute Support mission said in a statement.
"Four enemy combatants were killed as a result of the operation. No other injuries or damage was observed or reported."
Ali Haider Gilani's brother, Ali Musa Gilani, told the BBC he had been caught unaware by the release, with the family not told about the operation.
"He [Ali Haider Gilani] called himself from an Afghanistan number, and he just told me, 'I have US military around me, and they have rescued me, and now what are you doing? Who are you getting in touch with to get me out of here?'"
Television pictures showed celebrations in Multan. At a party rally in Pakistan-administrated Kashmir, his father was seen surrounded by well-wishers.
The newly released captive has been taken to Bagram airbase in Afghanistan and will be transferred to Pakistan in a few hours, Geo TV reports.
Ali Haider Gilani is the youngest son of Yusuf Raza Gilani, who was prime minister of Pakistan from 2008 until 2012.
He had been contesting a seat in the Punjab provincial assembly in the May 2013 elections, when he was seized by gunmen who opened fire on a campaign rally just a few days before the polls opened.
Suspicion immediately fell on the Pakistani Taliban, which had been openly threatening the governing PPP and other secular parties in Pakistan in the run-up to the election.
Kidnapping has frequently been used as a tactic by militant groups across Pakistan, who want the ransom money for revenue and use the hostages as bargaining chips in negotiations with the authorities.
Yusuf Raza Gilani said last year that he had been allowed to speak to his son for several minutes by phone, and that the kidnappers wanted the release of several high-profile al-Qaeda prisoners.
In March, the kidnapped son of Pakistan governor Salman Taseer was found alive, nearly five years after his father was assassinated and he was seized in Lahore.

Summarize the content provided below. | IS held Palmyra and its nearby ruins for 10 months before it was recaptured by Syrian government forces in March.
But the group launched an offensive earlier this week, and has captured land on several fronts.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said IS had killed 49 Syrian troops near Palmyra on Friday.
Meanwhile, the US-led coalition fighting IS says it has destroyed 168 oil tankers belonging to the group near Palmyra, in the largest raid of its kind so far. The assault on Thursday led to some $2m (£1.6m) of losses to the group.
The Syrian Observatory said there had been heavy fighting on Friday on the outskirts of the city, and that IS had succeeded in seizing several areas. Reinforcements from the Syrian army were expected, it added.
The Islamic State group's news agency Amaq posted footage that appeared to show government soldiers fleeing their positions west of Palmyra, Reuters news agency reported.
It said the fighting was some of the heaviest in the area since IS militants were pushed out nine months ago.
IS 'loses 50,000 fighters in two years'
Why IS militants destroy ancient sites
Palmyra and the logic of loss
IS destroyed a number of monuments during its 10-month occupation of the Unesco World Heritage site and the adjacent city of Tadmur.
Two 2,000-year-old temples, an arch and funerary towers were left in ruins.
The jihadist group, which has also demolished several pre-Islamic sites in neighbouring Iraq, believes that such structures are idolatrous.
While some treasured monuments were destroyed, much of the historic site was left undamaged. The city was later reclaimed with the support of air strikes by the Russian air force.
IS has since lost large amounts of territory across Syria and Iraq.
The 25-year-old spent 2015-16 on loan in the Championship at Charlton, scoring five goals in 37 games but not preventing them from being relegated.
Capped six times by Denmark, 6ft 7ins Makienok scored 35 times in 74 games for Brondby before joining Palermo.
"His height, plus his international experience, brings us a different dimension," said boss Simon Grayson.
Makienok is North End's second signing of the summer, following goalkeeper Chris Maxwell's move from Lancashire neighbours Fleetwood.

What is the summary of the document provided? | Arshad Khan, 18, was photographed pouring tea at Islamabad's Sunday Bazaar by photographer Javeria Ali.
Thousands of lovestruck Twitter users quickly shared the picture, swooning over his piercing eyes, and #ChaiWala began trending across social media.
Days later, Mr Khan shot his first modelling campaign.
Fitin.pk, an online shopping site based in Islamabad, rushed to sign Mr Khan up and is already using pictures of him modelling menswear.
A message on its website and Facebook page reads: "Chai wala is not more chai wala now he is fashion wala!"
In an interview with local TV news, Mr Khan said his family had lived in Islamabad for the last 25 years and that he joined the tea stall a few months ago. He said he hadn't heard of the social media platforms Instagram or Twitter.
Pakistan's Express Tribune reportedly tracked the tea seller-turned celebrity down at his usual workplace. Asked if he was aware of his global fame, Mr Khan replied humbly: "Yes, I am aware of my newly found fame and I am incredibly happy. My friends have been showing me pictures since this morning."
One Indian Twitter user, @Shruti_writes, referenced India-Pakistan tensions by calling for peace for the teenager's sake, writing: "Pakistan has #ChaiWala looking like this. Please dont bomb it, thanks" [Sic].
Photographer Ms Ali, who posted the fateful picture on 14 October, anticipated the global response, writing simply: "Hot-tea" and signing off with a wink.
She told the BBC: "I was very surprised when it got famous - to me it was a normal casual post!"
Ms Ali, a recent media graduate who photographs weddings and events in Islamabad, said she was delighted for Mr Khan.

US Open Tennis responded to Williams' message by saying: "Serena Williams will have a new pride and joy to hug and call her own soon! Congratulations on the exciting baby announcement!"
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
We are very unlikely to see Serena compete in another Grand Slam before the French Open of 2018. That event will take place four months before her 37th birthday - but do not write off a woman who will return to world number one on Monday.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Duffy, 57, and Hibs counterpart Neil Lennon, 45 were sent to the stand as tempers flared at Easter Road.
Morton's Kudus Oyenuga was sent off for a tackle on Jordan Forster and Hibs' Darren McGregor was dismissed for violent conduct on Wednesday evening.
"I acted immaturely - but I am not 12 years old," Duffy said.
Lennon claimed afterwards that Duffy had asked him for a "square go" - a fight - but Duffy denied that in a statement on Thursday.
Lennon and McGregor, 31, were incensed by 24-year-old Morton substitute Oyenuga's tackle on Forster in added time.
"It's a disgraceful challenge right in front of my technical area," Lennon told BBC Scotland after the match.
"Then he gets up and Darren McGregor confronts him and he feigns a head butt. I have the Morton staff in my technical area having a go at me and then I have the Morton players, acting the big hard men, having a go at me.
"So, I think I have been harshly done by, I think my players have been harshly done by in that incident as well."
In his post-match interview, Duffy said: "There was obviously a bit of a fracas. Neil wasn't happy with Kudus's challenge. The referee was going to send him off anyway.
"Obviously there was a few people involved, myself included. I think it would be wrong for that to deflect from our team's performance tonight.
"Maybe it was handbags with a few things inside the handbags. It's one of these things that happens sometimes. I'm sure Neil will say the same. It's emotion, it's passion.
"To be perfectly honest I never really get involved in things like that. But sometimes you've got to stand your ground for your team and that's what I've done but the referee saw fit to remove me and that's his decision to make.
"I have been involved in the game a long, long time and that's the first time I've ever been sent to the stand. I'm disappointed about that. He [the referee] said he sent me to the stand for irresponsible behaviour."
Lennon said he would wait to see referee Nick Walsh's report before deciding his next step, but insists the club will challenge the red card shown to McGregor.
"I will look at it and if I have to defend myself I will," he said. "I'm definitely appealing [against the McGregor dismissal]. That's a disgrace. An absolute disgrace."
The result kept Hibs 10 points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship while Morton moved a point above Falkirk into second.
"We're actually good friends away from the game, I've got a healthy respect for him," Lennon said of Duffy. "He's done a brilliant job but I'm not having that.
"We're in a really strong position [in the league]. I wanted to win tonight, my team wanted to win tonight. It's okay, we kept a clean sheet, we got another point." | Greenock Morton manager Jim Duffy says he is "embarrassed" by his conduct near the end of the 0-0 draw with Hibernian. |

Summarize the passage below. | The move will lead to the closure of its Monkstown plant in Newtownabbey.
The world's largest manufacturer of heavy construction equipment, Caterpillar employs 1,800 people in Northern Ireland with factories in Larne, Newtownabbey and west Belfast.
The firm has been hit by a global downturn in mining and oil exploration which has reduced demand for its products.
In Northern Ireland, much of its work involves the manufacture of diesel generators.
Caterpillar workers have expressed their shock at the announcement.
"I have been there nearly 20 years, now there is no guarantee whether we are going to have a job or not," one worker told the BBC.
"They are saying there is redeployment, but I don't know, I'm absolutely devastated.
"People have families and they don't know if they are going to have a job or not."
Caterpillar counts the mining and oil industries among its main customers.
When commodity prices were booming these industries couldn't get enough of Caterpillar's products.
But the global fall in commodity prices mean they are spending much less and so Caterpillar has faced quarter after quarter of declining sales.
Last month, the firm said it expected no significant growth in demand for its energy and transportation products for the rest of 2016.
It has responded by cutting costs - almost 14,000 jobs have been axed across its global business since mid-2015.
The workforce will be hoping this latest round of cuts is the last.
Between 200-250 jobs will be cut over the next two years, Caterpillar said in a statement, although the firm emphasised it remained "committed to Northern Ireland".
The firm is restructuring its operations in Northern Ireland, including the closure of the Monkstown facility in Newtownabbey and "consolidation of logistics" at its sites in Larne, County Antrim and Springvale in west Belfast.
It was also end the production of 25-tonne and larger material handlers in Northern Ireland, including the planned launch of large material handler models for Europe.
"This restructuring is part of the company's ongoing plans to reduce cost in response to current economic and business conditions," said the statement.
"Despite these contemplated actions, we remain committed to Northern Ireland.
"In fact, these potential changes would make us more efficient and competitive over the longer term."
Northern Ireland Secretary of State James Brokenshire said the government wanted to help those who had lost their jobs.
A UK government spokesperson said that Mr Brokenshire had "discussions with the executive on how we can work together to help prevent future losses and bring new employment opportunities".
The trade union, Unite, said the announcement should be a turning point for the Northern Ireland Executive's industrial policy and said "real action" was required to help a "beleaguered sector".
"Thousands of experienced, highly-skilled - and now redundant - manufacturing workers need appropriate employment opportunities," said Unite's Davy Thompson.
"Giving up on manufacturing is not an option for these workers or the communities which face post-industrial futures."
The closure in Monkstown may also impact on its factories in Larne and Springvale, said Caterpillar.
"If finalised, production for electric power generator sets in Monkstown would be consolidated into Larne and production of truck axles will move into Springvale," said the statement.
It added that "the transition is expected to begin this year and be completed in the next 12 to 24 months".
Economy Minister Simon Hamilton said the announced redundancies were "deeply disappointing".
Mr Hamilton said his department and Invest Northern Ireland "will continue to work to minimise the impact on all those affected".
It was a "devastating blow for the local area", said Sinn Féin assembly member Oliver McMullan, while Democratic Unionist Party MP for East Antrim Sammy Wilson also expressed disappointment.
Alliance Party Economy spokesman Stephen Farry said there needed to be a "clear vision" from the Northern Ireland Executive, "not only for fully supporting the workers, but also what will be done to prevent further similar losses down the line".
In September 2015, Caterpillar said it could cut its workforce by more than 10,000 by 2018 and that it would axe up to 5,000 jobs by the end of 2016.
It said it was looking to reduce annual costs by $1.5bn by the end of 2016.
This followed a collapse of commodity prices which affected its key customers in the mining and energy sectors and a reduction in sales revenues.

Thomas, one of leader Chris Froome's key helpers in the mountains, fell and broke his collarbone on the descent of the Col de la Biche during stage nine.
The Team Sky rider, 31, also crashed out on stage nine of the Giro d'Italia.
"It's still quite raw, the emotions of it all," the Welshman said. "I'm sure it will hit me when I go home and realise I'm not in the race any more."
Thomas, who has finished 15th in the Tour de France the past two years, won the opening 14km time trial this year in Dusseldorf and was second overall when he crashed on Sunday.
"It's been tough because I've worked so hard recently and felt like in the Giro that I was in really top shape - and obviously what happened there happened and through no fault of my own," he told BBC Sport.
"Here is one of the highlights of my career really - winning a stage and yellow jersey for so long - and then for it to end like that it's a bitter pill to swallow.
"Rafal Majka was trying to get past me a while, then he slapped on [the brakes] right in front of me, literally 10 seconds after I let him past. I was on his wheel doing 60km/h an hour, there's absolutely nowhere to go. [Matteo] Trentin came down as well and it was just carnage really."
Asked if Team Sky could protect fellow Briton Froome's 18-second advantage, he added: "The boys are still super strong, mentally as much as physically. They're a real good group and they'll really pull together now. I've got every confidence that they'll be able to do the job with Froomey."
Thomas, who will be seeing a specialist about his injury in Cardiff on Tuesday, said he will have an operation as soon as possible.
"I'll be able to go back on the bike really soon," he said. "Goals-wise I don't know. I'll leave it a week, let the dust settle and decide what will motivate me until the end of the season.
"At the moment I just want to go down the pub."
Thomas' former Team Sky team-mate Richie Porte says he hopes to return to racing before the end of the season after a high-speed crash during stage nine ended his hopes in the Tour.
The Australian Team BMC rider has spoken from his hospital bed after suffering a broken collarbone and pelvis.
"I'm in a fair bit of pain and it's a big disappointment," Porte said in a video released on his team's Facebook page.
"I was in great form and the team were really strong around me as well, so it's disappointing - but I think after seeing the crash I'm lucky also that I walked away with the injuries that I have."
Porte, who was one of the pre-race favourites, was taken by ambulance from the course in a neck brace.
"I don't think I'll be back on my bike for a good while now. The team's good with that, they say 'just recover, there's no rush to come back' and hopefully I'll pull the BMC jersey on by the end of the year."
On his recollection of the crash, the 32-year-old added: "I remember I came into the corner, it wasn't like we were going too fast or anything like that, but I just remember I locked the back wheel up and that was it really.
"The next thing I was heading for the grass verge on the corner. I stayed conscious the whole time, I remember the whole thing.
"I must say thank you to the medical staff in the race and also in the hospital, they've been absolutely fantastic." | Britain's Geraint Thomas says being forced out of the Tour de France by injury is "a bitter pill to swallow". |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Updated projections from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries suggest that men aged 65 will now live another 22.2 years, down from 22.8 years in 2013.
Women aged 65 will now live for a further 24.1 years, down from 25.1 years in 2013, the actuaries say.
The change is due to lower expectations of how much death rates will improve.
"Recent population data has highlighted that, since 2011, the rate at which mortality is improving has been slower than in previous years," the Institute explained.
"However, mortality is expected to continue to improve and there is significant uncertainty as to whether this will be at a slower rate than experienced in the first decade of this century," it added.
The actuarial profession bases its analysis - called the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) - on the death statistics for England and Wales which are supplied by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
For the past few decades there has been a very strong and well publicised improvement in life expectancy in the UK, both at birth and also at age 65, which is the most relevant age for pension schemes.
But that trend appears to have slowed down since 2011.
Stephen Caine, of the big actuarial firm Willis Towers Watson, said: "Until recently, mortality rates in the UK were falling at an impressive pace."
"Since 2011, these improvements have stalled [and] as the CMI notes, mortality rates in 2016 were about 11% higher than they would have been if the 2000-2011 trend had continued," he added.
The recent retreat in projected life expectancy has also been recorded for other age groups.
For instance, the CMI data suggests that men aged 45 will now live a further 42 years (down from 43 years in 2013) and that women aged 45 will live for 44 years, down from 45.1 years in 2013.
A spike in deaths in early 2015 during an influenza outbreak provoked some speculation that death rates might in fact start rising for some older age groups.
But Tim Gordon, a spokesman for the CMI, stressed that the changes to life expectancy projections were not due to a deterioration in mortality rates, but simply due to using less optimistic assumptions about how fast those death rates would improve in the future.
However, another actuarial firm, Mercer, pointed out that a spike in winter deaths had continued in recent years.
It said that more than 140,000 people, aged 65 or more, had died in the winter of 2016-17.
That was 11% more than the 126,000 who died in the winter of 2015-16, with the number respiratory-related deaths up by 21%.
But the firm's spokesman, Glyn Bradley, said the long-term trend was still likely to be one of greater longevity.
"Medical research, application of past breakthroughs, innovative use of technology and potential for lifestyle improvements all mean that lifespans will continue to increase," he said.
The new prime minister is Social Democrat leader Zoran Zaev who has formed a coalition with ethnic Albanian parties.
He wants to hasten economic reform and efforts to join Nato and the EU.
Macedonia has been in political crisis for two years following a wire-tapping scandal.
The new government was voted in by 62 out of 120 MPs late on Wednesday.
"Our goal is EU and Nato membership in the shortest possible time," Mr Zaev told parliament as he outlined his government's priorities.
He formed his coalition some months ago after agreeing to support a bill making Albanian the country's second official language.
Thousands of Macedonians have taken to the streets protesting against the bill.
Mr Zaev tried to form a government in March but was blocked by President Gjorge Ivanov who accused him of threatening Macedonia's sovereignty.
Ethnic Albanians make up about a quarter of Macedonia's population.

British Athletics performance director Neil Black said: "2015 was an excellent year for the British Athletics teams at both the IAAF and IPC World Championships, in Beijing and Doha respectively.
"I am confident those we have invited onto the 2015-16 WCPP will build on the foundations and successes achieved over the last 12 months.
"Our immediate focus is firmly on medals next year in Rio 2016, followed by London 2017 when we will host both the IAAF and IPC World Athletics Championships.
"From there, the attention shifts to Tokyo 2020. Our WCPP selections absolutely reflect that focus and all the athletes selected will be expected to fulfil tough performance criteria.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | More than 70 years have passed since the liberation of the death camps and many of those involved have now died.
So the trial of Oskar Groening will be one of the last of its kind.
A former Nazi death camp guard, the 94-year-old has been convicted of being an accessory to the murder of at least 300,000 people and sentenced to four years in prison.
Mr Groening, known as the "book-keeper of Auschwitz", was allegedly responsible for counting banknotes confiscated from prisoners.
Prosecutors in Lueneburg, northern Germany, also allege that he hid victims' luggage away from new arrivals, to disguise the victims' fate.
Mr Groening, who began work at Auschwitz aged 21, admits witnessing the mass killing of Jews, but denies he was an "accomplice".
He has spoken publicly about his role in the camp - and it is that aspect of his case that observers such as Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff say makes it particularly important.
"It's the first in recent history in which a defendant has talked [publicly] about the horrors of Auschwitz, that's something you almost never see," Mr Zuroff told the Wall Street Journal. last year.
Mr Groening was born in 1921 in Lower Saxony in Germany, and his mother died when he was four, Germany's Der Spiegel magazine reports.
His father, a proud nationalist, joined the Stahlhelm paramilitary group after Germany's defeat in World War One. His anger at how Germany had been treated under the Treaty of Versailles increased when his textile business went bankrupt in 1929.
The young Groening joined the Stahlhelm Youth in the early 1930s, and then the Hitler Youth. He later spoke of taking part in the Nazi burning of books written by Jews and others deemed "degenerate".
British historian Laurence Rees says Mr Groening began training as a bank clerk at 17, but after war was declared, he decided he wanted to follow in his grandfathers' footsteps and join an "elite" unit in the German army.
He signed up to the Waffen SS and arrived in Auschwitz in 1942.
For about two years, Mr Groening allegedly counted money taken from the luggage of murdered Jews and sent it back to SS headquarters in Berlin. He also supervised luggage of prisoners being transported to the camp.
But when the war was over - and he was released from a British prison - he did not speak of his role at Auschwitz.
Instead he began a normal, middle-class life in Lueneburg Heath in Lower Saxony, where he worked at a glass-making factory until retirement.
It was not until he heard people denying the Holocaust had ever happened, decades later, that he suddenly felt the need to speak up.
"I saw the gas chambers. I saw the crematoria," he told the BBC in the 2005 documentary Auschwitz: the Nazis and the "Final Solution".
"I was on the ramp when the selections [for the gas chambers] took place."
He spoke of witnessing an SS soldier murdering a baby, and how the treatment of the prisoners had "horrified" him.
But he said that at the time he believed that killing Jews - including children - was the "right" thing to do.
"We were convinced by our world view that we had been betrayed... and that there was a great conspiracy of the Jews against us."
However, Mr Groening says he did not take part directly in the killing, and described his role as "a small cog in the gears".
"If you can describe that as guilt, then I am guilty, but not voluntarily. Legally speaking, I am innocent," he told Der Spiegel in 2005.
In the book accompanying the BBC documentary, historian Laurence Rees describes the experience of listening to Mr Groening speak about his time at Auschwitz as a "strange experience".
He says Mr Groening "shields himself" from taking full responsibility, by referring to the power of family beliefs and propaganda, but that he does not claim to have purely been following orders.
"He carried on working at Auschwitz not just because he was ordered to but because... he thought the extermination programme was right.
"It's just that that 'right' then turns out not to be 'right today'." | Age poses a challenge for prosecutors trying to bring suspected Nazi war criminals to justice. |
Can you summarize the given article? | The collisions, involving two cars and a caravan, happened north of Felin Fach at about 12:05 BST on Saturday.
A Mid and West Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said a woman was trapped but she has been freed and taken to Morriston Hospital, Swansea, via air ambulance.
Part of the road was closed but has since reopened.
The fighting broke out on Tuesday night after Nasser al-Aker, a senior Islamist militant from Derna's Abu-slim Martyr's Brigade, was killed by members of IS.
IS established a base in Derna in October and the group has tightened its grip on the city in recent months.
Residents say that control of the city is split between two militant groups.
About 20 fighters were reported to have been killed in the clashes between IS and the al-Qaeda-linked Mujahadeen Shura Council of Derna, an umbrella group for local Islamist militias.
Salem Derbi, the commander of the so-called Abu Salem Brigade, was believed to be among those killed by IS.
The Shura Council released a statement following the death of Al-Aker declaring "holy war" on IS "until none of them are left".
The 55-year-old, who fought in Afghanistan and was once held in the UK on terrorism charges, was killed along with his aide.
Derna - a jihadist stronghold in the 1980s and 1990s during the insurgency against Muammar Gaddafi - has descended into chaos as Libya grapples with a power vacuum left by the overthrow of Gaddafi in 2013.
One witness told the BBC that residents were scared to go outside, leaving most shops and bakeries closed.
Libya's vast number of rival militias have long been running the show. They've spun a web of localised conflicts on a city and regional level in recent years that has allowed IS's local sympathisers and foreign fighters to establish a foothold in two major cities: Derna in the east and Sirte in the West.
The political chaos engulfing the state also helped them flourish, but it is the very local nature of Libya's conflict - its small population and family ties - that may yet prove detrimental to IS's survival in Libya in the long term.
In the past month we've seen rival armed groups increasingly preoccupied by fighting against IS militants than against each other.
Why is Libya so lawless?
Islamic State gains Libya foothold
IS has expanded its hold on Libyan territory in recent months to include the whole of the central city of Sirte and Harwa to the east of the country.
Its capture of Sirte gives the group access to the road to the country's third largest city of Misrata, in the west.
The rapid rise of the group in Libya has alarmed Western powers, which fear it gaining a stronghold on the Mediterranean across from mainland Europe.
Libya's internationally recognised parliament is operating in exile in the eastern port of Tobruk after being forced from the capital, Tripoli. A rival parliament, the Islamist-dominated General National Congress, is nearly 1,000km (620 miles) to the west in Tripoli.
In an attempt to stabilise the country, the UN presented both factions with a draft proposal for a unity government on Tuesday.

What is the summary of the provided article? | There were 1,297 breeding pairs last spring, according to a Bath and North East Somerset Council survey. The number has been rising yearly.
Middlesex University and University of the West of England (UWE) will run the project at no cost to the council.
Chris Pawson from UWE said: "We're interested in the interaction between gulls and their environment."
Council officers and students will create a map to track gull behaviour. Residents and local schools are also being asked to help gather data.
"They are intelligent animals that can live for over 30 years.
"They're making complex decisions about where they nest - we need to understand more about this," said Dr Pawson.
The project is part of a wider plan being proposed by the local authority to reduce gull numbers.
A cabinet meeting next week will decide whether £60,000 should be spent on some trials to deter gulls from nesting in the city.
The measures would include removing nests, reducing access to food sources and not feeding gulls.
Bath's MP, Conservative Ben Howlett, said: "As a city centre resident myself, I know that passions run high regarding seagulls - over 1,350 people filled in my survey on seagulls, and I have received over 120 additional letters on seagull-related matters.
"I am delighted that B&NES Council are taking the long-awaited action towards addressing the gull situation in Bath and I hope residents will be patient as a problem of this nature is not going to be resolved instantly." | An 18-month research project into gull behaviour is being proposed in Bath to help find ways to reduce numbers. |
What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The party also says students part-way through their courses would not have to pay for the remaining years.
It said the cost was factored into the £9.5bn annual bill for scrapping fees.
The Tories said more poorer students than ever were going to university, and the Lib Dems said better-off students would gain most from ending fees.
The announcement comes as the deadline for people to register to vote approaches - they have until 23:59 BST on Monday to sign up.
Labour announced it would abolish university tuition fees - which are due to rise to £9,250 a year in the autumn - in its manifesto last week.
It is now offering more detail on the policy, which applies to students resident in England studying for their first degree at an English university, in an appeal aimed at people eligible to vote for the first time on 8 June.
Labour's shadow education secretary Angela Rayner told BBC Breakfast that people coming out of university now face debts of up to £44,000 - a "gut-wrenching" sum which "hangs over them" for years to come.
She said that by getting the top earners to pay "just a little bit more", Labour can "stop our young people from going through that hell of having that much debt".
Put to her on BBC Radio 4's Today programme that axing frees would benefit the wealthiest graduates - who currently repay the most in tuition fees - Ms Rayner said: "You've got young people, regardless of their wealth, that are leaving university after working hard, they've finally got their degrees, they're going into their job for the first time, junior doctors etcetera, and they're saddled with debt for years and years.
"Whether they pay back that debt or not, if you've ever had a huge amount of debt hanging over your head you know how that feels."
Labour said legislation would be in place for students starting university in the autumn of 2018 - but that a Labour government would immediately write off the first year of fees for those starting a year earlier.
Labour, which has also promised the return of maintenance grants to cover living costs, said it would protect people who had already graduated from inflation-busting interest rises in future years.
It said the £9.5bn annual cost of abolishing tuition fees would be paid for by increasing corporation tax, and income tax for people earning over £80,000.
Former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said scrapping fees was the "wrong choice" at the moment and he did not know how Labour would pay for it.
The Lib Dems made a manifesto commitment before the 2010 election not to raise fees but abandoned that in coalition government with the Conservatives, a U-turn for which they were strongly criticised and which was partly blamed for their dramatic loss of support in the 2015 election.
Universities in England can charge up to £9,250 a year for undergraduate courses from this autumn. The tuition fees will then increase every year with inflation. Students can borrow loans to cover tuition fees, which are paid directly to the university.
They can also take out loans for living costs - with the amount that can be borrowed decided by means testing. Parents are expected to cover any costs above this maintenance loan. Interest on loans, which is rising to 6.1% this year, is charged from as soon as students begin their courses.
But the loans are not paid back until after graduation and when former students earn more than £21,000. The rate you pay back is 9% of your income over the £21,000 threshold. If you do not finish repaying within 30 years, the rest of the loan will normally be written off.
The average amount owed by university graduates in England averaged £44,000 last year, figures from charity the Sutton Trust suggested. Total outstanding student debt in England was at £76bn.
There are lower levels of fees in Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland there are no tuition fees for Scottish students. There have been rows in Scotland, however, about the gap in access to university between rich and poor students.
Mr Clegg told BBC Radio 4's Today that under the repayment system put in place by his party, no graduates paid fees up front and Labour's changes would see people "who have never been lucky enough to go to university" subsidising those who do.
"Let's be very clear what this is for - it is to relieve graduates in the future of the need to make any contribution to their university education while, and here is the odd choice, not reversing a lot of the very punitive and aggressive benefit cuts which will affect some of the poorest in the country," he said.
"If the choice is between the poorest and some of the richest graduates of the future, I would choose helping the poorest."
Education is a devolved matter, with only Scotland charging no tuition fees for Scottish students, although research suggests Scotland also has a bigger access gap between rich and poor students than the rest of the UK.
Responding to Labour's tuition fees pledge, the Conservatives said: "Only by getting Brexit right will we be able to help young people get on in life and make the most of their talents." | Labour says it will bring forward its pledge to scrap tuition fees to include students starting university in England this autumn if it wins the election. |

They were both treated by vets but one subsequently died from the injuries it received, Northumbria Police said.

The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) near Lincoln will feature an exhibition and memorials to the 55,000 RAF personnel who died in the war.
IBCC director Nicky Barr described the grant as a "fantastic boost".
More on this and other Lincolnshire stories
"It gives us surety that we can get the rest of the memorial walls up in good time," he said.
"It also gives us some support to making sure the exhibition is the absolute best that it can be."
The centre has raised more than £10.5m towards its construction costs. Mr Barr said it needed to raise another £1m ahead of its opening in December.
Bomber Command crews were tasked with attacking Germany's airbases, troops, shipping and industrial complexes connected to the war effort.
The contribution of men and women from more than 60 nations will be featured, according to the centre.
Lincoln was chosen for the site as it provides a central point for 27 bomber bases that were in Lincolnshire.
The county housed about a third of all World War Two Bomber Command stations.
The South Wales Ironmen second rower is of Italian heritage and was included in Italy's 22-man squad for their 2017 Rugby League World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Wales.
The 29-year-old did not play in Italy's win against Serbia in Belgrade and was not selected in their 19-man squad to face Wales, but will be backing Italy in Monza when they play against the country of his birth.
"I feel a mix [of Welsh and Italian]. I was born in Wales so I grew up Welsh but the more I learned about my heritage, the more I also felt Italian," Vitalini told BBC Radio Wales.
"When I was playing rugby at a young age, my grandparents were a huge influence on me and they were always so passionate about me possibly playing for Italy one day."
Vitalini's grandparents met in Wales after emigrating separately when they were teenagers and later opened a family shop in Newport.
"Unfortunately they passed away several years ago, which is getting to me, because they never got to see me or know that I played for Italy and that's something to be proud of," he continued.
Wales thrashed Serbia 50-0 in Llanelli in their first qualifier but were held to a 16-16 draw against Jamaica in a friendly in their last game before Saturday's qualifier.
"Reading some of [Wales coach] John Kear's comments, they went into it with a bit of overconfidence I believe," Vitalini said.
"Everything's riding on the qualifier and as long as they put a performance in, that's what they'll be looking for and we'll be looking for the same as well."
The loser of Saturday's showdown will be forced to enter a play-off game the following week, so where do Vitalini's loyalties lie?
"There's a massive carrot dangled in front of you to play in Australia next year at the World Cup for the Welsh guys and the Italian guys. A lot of our squad are Australian with Italian heritage so it would be a home World Cup for them," Vitalini said.
"Even though the loser of this game will have to play a qualifier next week, probably against Russia, nobody wants to have to go through that way. We want to qualify outright on the weekend.
"The ideal scenario for me is that we win on the weekend and Wales win the following week." | A centre dedicated to the memory of those who served in Bomber Command during World War Two has been given a £700,000 grant.

Can you summarize this passage? | Harborough MP Sir Edward Garnier said Oadby and Wigston Borough Council was in a "shambolic" state.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, the MP called for council leader John Boyce to resign.
But Mr Boyce insisted the Liberal Democrat-controlled council was "a happy place to work".
Sir Edward, who called on ministers to send officials from neighbouring authorities to overhaul the council, said: "The council leader and his councillors have either been wilful participants or asleep at the wheel, and must take responsibility for the shambolic state of the council."
In reply, Local Government Minister Marcus Jones said the council had been working with the Local Government Association and he expected significant changes to be made.
He ruled out sending outside officials to the council, claiming it was a highly unusual step taken just twice in the past five years - in Rotherham and Tower Hamlets.
In 2015, nine senior staff members at the council lodged a grievance containing 214 allegations, including bullying and harassment by the senior management team.
Independent investigator Richard Penn did not uphold the grievance, but warned the council was "very adversely affected by deep division" between senior managers and officers.
Mr Boyce said: "We have never made a secret of the fact we've had some staffing issues.
"This is an attractive place to live and there is nothing wrong with this council in terms of atmosphere."
He added: "There is no poisonous atmosphere here in Oadby and Wigston."
England under-21 international Abraham, signed on a season's loan from Chelsea, headed home in the 80th minute.

But substitute Franck Tayou equalised on 69 minutes for the Kickers before Abraham had the last word.
Manager Paul Clement told BBC Radio Wales: "I was satisfied with the way we played, lots of players got minutes under their belts.
"Half the team played 60 minutes, the other half played 30. Lots of things to work on, but with three and a half weeks to go to the start of the season, we are moving in the right direction."

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | As far as the Conservative government is concerned, the Royal Navy's four Vanguard class ballistic missile-carrying submarines will be replaced by an improved system that will enter service between 2028 and 2035.
No parliamentary decision has yet been taken but the government is pressing ahead, for example, by announcing last month about £500m of investment at the submarine base at Faslane on the Clyde.
But other political forces do not share this view. The Scottish National Party has an important voice - Faslane, after all, is in Scotland.
It cannot derail any decision to modernise but it does not like it.
Now the recently elected Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn adds a new factor to the mix.
A confirmed unilateralist with a general scepticism towards the use of military force - he was chairman of the Stop the War Coalition - he insists that there are no circumstances in which he would press the "nuclear button".
His unilateralism is not shared by many in the Parliamentary Labour Party, but certainly touches a vein among many grass-roots Labour activists.
So what does this all mean for the debate surrounding Trident and its future?
Well as far as the Conservative government is concerned the debate is pretty much over.
Chancellor George Osborne, in announcing the new contracts at Faslane, repudiated the views of those who want to see the Trident missile-carrying submarines scrapped.
"In an uncertain world, are we really content to throw away Britain's ultimate insurance policy?" he asked.
He then set out the essential justification for maintaining the programme, saying: "The new unilateralists of British politics are a threat to our future national security. In a world that's getting more dangerous it would be disastrous for Britain to throw away the ultimate insurance policy that keeps us free and safe."
Some also suggest that Britain's seat at the top table of international politics, its seat on the UN Security Council for example, is also because of us being one of the few nuclear-armed nations.
This may have been true during the early years of the UN - it is no accident that the permanent five members of the Security Council are all nuclear-armed - but it is hard to see how the fate of Trident might alter this.
Another factor that is often brought into the debate is Britain's close security relationship with the US.
Might this be weakened if Britain gave up its nuclear weapons? Would Britain be seen in Washington as a less serious security player?
The counter-argument put by those who oppose any renewal is to argue that nuclear weapons are not relevant to most of the threats facing Britain; that we should set an example by honouring our disarmament pledges under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and that the cost means that more useful conventional forces are strapped for cash.
An independent cross-party inquiry into nuclear defence policy published its report in July 2014.
It accepted that most new and emerging security threats did not lend themselves to being dealt with by having nuclear arms.
It nonetheless picked out three scenarios where the possession of nuclear weapons might be relevant:
The whole debate over the fate of Britain's nuclear programme involves complex strategic, moral and political aspects.
Mr Corbyn may be a long way from even convincing his parliamentary colleagues of the merits of his position.
But his beliefs mean that the future of nuclear weapons is likely to figure prominently in the foreign policy debate surrounding the next general election. | Britain's nuclear weapons programme is in a curious position. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | The incident happened in Stockport at about 19:35 BST on Thursday after she had been dealing with congestion which had built up following a crash.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the motorist "drove towards the PCSO" on the junction of Spring Gardens and Waterloo Road.

Police said the PCSO "tried to get out of the way" when the car came towards her but the driver then "mounted the kerb and knocked her over before continuing to drive off and making no attempts to stop".
Det Sgt David Chambers said: "A PCSO was knocked over in the line of duty whilst trying to assist with a collision and although she did sustain quite serious injuries, it could potentially have been a lot worse and thankfully she is now recovering well in hospital."
He appealed for witnesses to contact police, adding: "Nobody should have to worry about potentially being put in such a dangerous position when carrying out their job."
The prince met Mr Obama in the Oval Office of the White House for an informal chat.
Earlier he joined Michelle Obama to meet injured service personnel in Virginia, and is set to meet Games organisers at the British ambassador's residence in Washington DC.
The Games are an international event for injured and sick service personnel.
The first Invictus Games took place in London last year, with the next due in Orlando, Florida, next year.
There were screams of excitement as Prince Harry entered the gym hall. He was here to watch former soldiers in a very different type of combat - wheelchair basketball.
He and First Lady Michelle Obama were glued to the game as the chairs clashed across the court. At one point the prince caught the basketball and handed it to her.
This is a couple who share the same passion - helping injured servicemen. But the pair, who have met several times, can also share a joke. Addressing the women present, she said: "Don't pretend you haven't noticed Prince Harry is here."
The hundreds gathered were told that sport had changed the lives of many injured servicemen. Max Rohn, who lost his leg in Iraq in 2009, said Harry's support meant the world to him. Sport, he said, gave him the hope he was missing.
Prince Harry and the first lady were joined by Jill Biden, the US vice-president's wife, for a tour of the purpose-built United Service Organizations Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, which supports troops, their families and carers.
They joined an art therapy class for veterans then visited a music therapy room.
They also watched a sports event before giving speeches.
In his speech, Prince Harry said his deployments to Afghanistan "changed the direction" of his life.
He said that after returning to the UK on a flight with three critically injured British soldiers, he realised he had "a responsibility to help all veterans, who had made huge personal sacrifices for their countries, to lead healthy and dignified lives after service."
He added: "I hope that Invictus 2016 will remind people everywhere just how incredible our service personnel are, and how much of a positive contribution to society they make.
"I am sure the American public will embrace the Invictus Games, just as the British public did in 2014."
Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games after seeing a similar event, the Warrior Games, held in the US in 2013.
He said the aim was to change perceptions of physical and mental injury.
"One thing we have to talk about more is breaking down these barriers around so-called invisible injuries, like post-traumatic stress, just as we have for physical injuries like the loss of a limb," he said.
"We have to help [veterans] to get the support they need, without fear of being judged or discriminated against. Not only is it OK to talk about it, we have to talk about it."
The visit will be Prince Harry's first meeting with President Obama, but it is not the first time he has met the first lady.
They previously attended a White House event to support military families in 2013, and met this summer at Kensington Palace during Mrs Obama's tour of the UK for her Let Girls Learn initiative. | A Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) has been injured after a driver pulled out of traffic, mounted the kerb and knocked her over, police said.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | In 2012-3, North West schools typically paid £10,000, while those in the South East were only charged £4,000.
Children at Netherton Moss School in Merseyside have written to United Utilities to protest.
United Utilities said its policy meant domestic households and small companies did not have to subsidise schools.
Figures obtained by Sefton Council from the Department of Education showed schools in the North West paid £27m a year for water charges, while those in the south paid just £11m.
The company said it was charging schools for sewerage and drainage of playing fields.
In a statement, United Utilities said the North West's higher population, higher rainfall and industrial legacy meant that wastewater services were "more expensive than in the South East".
It began charging schools on the size of their drainage in 2010.
In a statement, it said: "Previously they had been subsidising lower bills for schools as the cost had been spread across all customers."
It added: "This is why this way of charging is recognised by consumer groups, regulators and the government as the fairest charging method."
If it were to stop charging schools other customers would have to pay more again. Water companies in the South use the rateable value method, which results in lower charges.
Netherton Moss School in Bootle paid more than £20,000 last year, or £111 per child. Jean Rogers, from the school, said it was "unfair" that schools in the North were being "penalised".
Sue Kerwin, head teacher at St Andrews Church of England Primary, Maghull, said: "I feel it is not just, because schools are a community asset."
Defra said it was aware of the concerns from schools about surface water drainage charges. It said it had committed to reviewing the guidance to Ofwat and water companies on concessionary schemes.
Prosecutors also seized 23m euros ($30m; £19m) from the bank's accounts with another smaller institution.
The inquiry was launched after two suspicious transactions were reported to tax police in Rome.
The Vatican said it was "perplexed and astonished", and expressed full confidence in Mr Tedeschi.
The Vatican Bank, known officially as the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), was created during World War II to administer accounts held by religious orders, cardinals, bishops and priests.
Rome magistrates are looking into claims that Mr Gotti Tedeschi and the bank's chief executive Paolo Cipriani violated laws that require banks to disclose information on financial operations.
The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Bank of Italy's financial intelligence unit tipped off Italy's tax police last week, after two suspicious transactions were reported between the Vatican Bank and two different Italian banks.
The tax police seized 23m euros that the Vatican Bank had tried to transfer from a small Italian bank called Credito Artigianato.
Some 20m euros was destined for JP Morgan in Frankfurt, with the remainder going to another Italian bank, Banca del Fucino.
Reports say the Vatican Bank had failed to inform the financial authorities where the money had come from.
In a statement, the Vatican strongly defended its record.
"The Holy See is perplexed and astonished by the initiatives of the Rome prosecutors, considering the data necessary is already available at the Bank of Italy," the statement said.
And the Vatican also gave its backing to the two officials under investigation.
"The Holy See wants to express the maximum confidence in the president and in the chief executive of the IOR," it said.
Mr Gotti Tedeschi, who is an expert on financial ethics, has been in charge of the bank for a year. He was formerly head of Spanish bank Santander's Italian operations.
The Vatican Bank was last mired in scandal in 1982 when its governor Archbishop Paul Marcinkus was indicted over his involvement with the collapse of what was then Italy's largest private bank, Banco Ambrosiano.
Although he was never arrested, the fallout from that scandal took a darker turn when two of its top executives, one of them its chairman, Roberto Calvi, were murdered.

Please summarize the passage below. | Candystripes keeper Gerard Doherty denied Sean Maguire before Garry Buckley's clever flicked finish put the Leesiders in front on 34 minutes.
Karl Sheppard slotted between Doherty's legs to double the lead before Maguire rifled home after 64 minutes to give Cork an eighth win from eight games.
Aaron McEneff came closest for Derry with a late strike against the bar.
It's a second straight defeat for Derry since the tragic death of their captain Ryan McBride last month.
Maguire burst clear on 10 minutes but his low shot was blocked by the onrushing Doherty.
Cork keeper Mark McNulty saved efforts from Nathan Boyle and McEneff but the incisive attacking football came at the other end.
Doherty tipped over a curling Kevin O'Connor free-kick before Buckley netted from a Stephen Dooley cut-back.
Sheppard struck 10 minutes into the second half, racing through and sliding in from 14 yards to make it 2-0.

McEneff was denied by the woodwork with two minutes left in what was a rare highlight for the visitors.
I've spent recent days with activists campaigning on both sides in the EU referendum.
And there is no doubt that the question facing the British public has captured people's attention - in Technicolour.
On a hot day beneath clear blue skies in the Cornish town of Camborne I watched Labour "In" campaign chief Alan Johnson's stump speech get vigorously heckled.
Cornish fisherman Dave Hicks was unhappy about EU fishing quotas and took the opportunity to try to tell the gathered remain crowd about it as loudly as possible.
It was a moment of unplanned political energy that the campaign has helped bring to villages, towns and cities well away from Westminster.
Of course, a national debate with only one of two clear outcomes taking in issues like immigration, jobs and sovereignty was always going to be passionately fought over.
But at other times you have to wonder whether the campaign has also unleashed, among some, a kind of shouting match that is obscuring the debate.
At the same event I also witnessed two activists of different hues in a verbal confrontation before accusing each other at close quarters of aggression.
At a different rally last week, a young Vote Leave activist told me how she had been sworn at in the street and called a "racist" by a passer-by.
And at a nearby railway station I heard a member of the public repeatedly accuse two campaigners handing out leaflets of lying to people.
It is clear how high the stakes are - most importantly for the country but also for political careers - in what both campaigns see as a generation-defining political decision.
The challenge for their leaderships is to try to prevent the debate overheating - whilst turning up the power on the floodlights over the arguments.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the total trade deficit - covering goods and services - shrank to £3.5bn from £3.7bn in December.
The deficit in goods alone narrowed to £10.29bn - down from £10.45bn the previous month.
However, the goods trade deficit with the EU widened to £8.1bn, from £7.4bn.
Trade with the EU is coming under more attention because of the UK referendum on EU membership on 23 June.
Howard Archer from IHS Global Insight said UK exports remained "lacklustre in January, with the modest narrowing in the trade deficit being primarily due to a fall in imports".
The ONS said the narrowing of the total goods deficit between December and January was down to a drop in imports of £0.2bn.
Separate figures from the ONS showed that output in the UK's construction sector fell by 0.2% in January.
The figure was weaker than expected and comes after a 2.1% increase in output in December.
However, the ONS also said that during the final three months of 2015, construction output rose by 0.3%, whereas it had previously estimated that output fell by 0,4% in the quarter. | Derry have slipped to fourth in the Premier Division after this defeat by leaders Cork at Turner's Cross.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Cabinet minister David Davis described the move as "mad" and newspapers also criticised the decision.
But a UK Parliament spokesman said that "prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing" of those working on the project.
The TUC said silencing the chimes was "common sense".
The bongs will sound for the final time at 12:00 BST on Monday 21 August before being disconnected to allow the clock and surrounding tower to be restored - a project that is expected to last until 2021.
The UK Parliament spokesman said the Palace of Westminster had "a duty of care to those on site".
Earlier, Brexit Secretary Mr Davis had said there was "hardly a health and safety argument" for silencing the bells.
"I think it's mad," he told LBC radio.
"I'd forgotten of course, I've been out of government for a lot of years, and I've forgotten how long it takes to get the approvals for this and the approvals for that.
"There's a sort of rude phrase which I will shorten to 'just get on with it'.
"When I was in business, it was my standard line, just get on, just do it, don't faff."
The Telegraph reported on a "backlash" from other MPs and columnist Frances Wilson wrote: "Silencing Big Ben is like stopping the heartbeat of our democracy."
An article in the Daily Mail said: "Not even Nazi bombs could silence the famous symbol of Britishness.
"But having marked the hour with almost unbroken service since 1859, the Great Bell's bongs will soon cease for four years - because of health and safety."
TUC health and safety officer Hugh Robertson said: "Protecting workers' hearing is far from 'health and safety gone mad.'"
He added: "When all 14 tonnes of Big Ben bongs near you, you'll know it.
"At nearly 120 decibels, it's like putting your ear next to a police siren."
Alongside conservation work to the Elizabeth Tower which houses the Great Bell, the Great Clock will be dismantled piece-by-piece and its four dials will be cleaned and repaired.
A spokesman for Parliament said: "Constant proximity and prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing of those working on the scaffolding or in the Tower.
"Whilst hearing protection provides a suitable short term solution to the 118 decibel chiming and striking of the bells, it is not acceptable for those working for long periods in the vicinity of Big Ben.
"In addition, it is vital for workers to be able to communicate with one another on site, or to raise an alarm should the necessity arise. This would not be possible were the bells to continue to sound throughout the works.
"Workers on the scaffolding could also be startled by the loud sudden noise, with consequences for their own safety and those of other people in and around the tower. The only way to ensure people's safety is to temporarily stop the bell."
The Great Bell, which has sounded on the hour for 157 years, last fell silent in 2007 and before that, for major refurbishments between 1983 and 1985.
It will still sound for important events including New Year and Remembrance Sunday, while one working clock face will remain visible during the works. | Parliament has defended silencing the chimes of Big Ben for four years to protect workers' hearing during restoration works. |
Can you summarize this content? | Angus MacNeil said the government should listen to the concerns of fishing communities in his Western Isles constituency.
He said there should be a delay to allow additional powers to be agreed for island communities.
The SNP government sees MPAs as a way of better protecting marine habitats.
Their introduction has support from conservation charities and elements of the fishing industry, including creel fishermen.
Mr MacNeil has made his call a day after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who was on a visit to Skye, invited islanders to have their say in a consultation on proposals that could see additional powers given to island communities.
He said there were "significant disagreements" between the fishing industry and the Scottish government directorate Marine Scotland about the management of MPAs.
Mr MacNeil said: "At a time when new powers are being considered, when more control of the marine area could be one of them, it seems prudent that this process is delayed.
"Therefore one aspect of my response to Nicola Sturgeon's wise call to consult over island powers, is to urge caution on the draconian MPA plans as these will be economically damaging to islands and are an example of something better dealt with in the islands where their effects will be felt."
He added: "I remain very concerned about the possible economic impact of proposed management plans for the MPAs and I think the Scottish government should take its time in coming to a final decision when so much is at stake."
Last month, MSPs heard opposing views from the fishing industry on Scotland's 30 MPAs.
The rural affairs, climate change and environment committee heard concerns from some fishermen that the management of MPAs would harm their business.
Creel fishermen and scallop divers welcomed limits on some fishing methods such as scallop dredging.
The committee was gathering evidence from the industry on the roll-out of MPAs in places such as the Small Isles and Sound of Barra.

After the ceremony there was a religious service in St Columb's Church of Ireland cathedral.
A re-enactment of the Siege of Derry of 1689 was staged by a local drama group, before the main parade got under way on Saturday afternoon.

There was a visible police presence around the city centre.
The memorial ceremony is held on the second Saturday in August each year, to commemorate the ending of the 105-day siege of the city in August 1689.
The siege took place against the background of the deposed Catholic King James II's attempt to regain his crown from his Protestant son-in-law, King William III.

Write a brief summary of the document. | The rise is due to increased use of computer malware and con-artists tricking consumers out of personal details, Financial Fraud Action said.
In addition, fraudsters are targeting firms in order to steal bigger amounts.
However, the £60m loss is considered to be "relatively modest" with more than half of UK adults using online banking.
Overall losses on UK cards from fraud totalled £479m in 2014, up 6% on 2013, according to Financial Fraud Action.
Anyone who is the victim of fraud on their cards is refunded unless it is proved they have been negligent.
Campaigners say the figures prove banks should continue offering choice to customers who might want to go to a branch.
"Many banks and service providers want to encourage people to manage their accounts online and will stress convenience and speed as selling points," said Judith Donovan, who chairs the Keep Me Posted campaign.
"However, the fact remains that online fraud is increasing year-on-year with many criminals having a demonstrably greater grasp on technology than many of the institutions they are targeting.
"This is particularly concerning for older or vulnerable people who might not be as capable when using technology - how can these people be sure that they are not being targeted by criminals?"
The total amount of fraud is down 21% from the peak of £609.9m in 2008.
The action group said that banks and card providers had tightened up their security features. Fraudsters have now shifted their attention to tricking people out of their personal details with scams and tall stories on the phone.
It is calling for a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of deception crimes. It has also encouraged people banking online to ensure they have the latest anti-virus software installed - which may be available free of charge from their bank.
The figures also showed that losses caused by criminals using UK cards fraudulently abroad, where they can circumvent some security features, were up sharply. Losses increased to £150.3m in 2014, up 23% from the previous year.
The figures come in the same week as fraud prevention service Cifas said that 46-year-old men were the most likely victims of identity theft.
They also come on the day that NatWest admitted some of its customers were not seeing money transferred, owing to "system issues".
The 66-year-old, who took charge of Rangers from March 2010 to January 2012, will take on a part-time role helping manager Chris Ramsey.

"Full-time management doesn't interest me any more, but if I can help Chris and QPR by acting as a sounding board, then that's great," Warnock said.
"I've often been quoted as saying there's a gap in the structure of a football club for someone to come in to be a sounding board and offer advice, and I'm delighted Chris has shown his faith in me in this role.
"I'm really looking forward to working with him, he is someone I've always admired as a coach.
"When I look at the solid start to the season QPR have made, coupled with the squad we've got at our disposal, I think there's a real opportunity to climb the table and push on," added Warnock.
Under Warnock's leadership QPR were promoted to the Premier League in 2011 after winning the Championship, but he was sacked the following January with the club in 17th place in the table.
"Neil has a passion for this club and for football in general, and he's got too much to offer for us to waste an opportunity to tap into his knowledge," Ramsey said.
"Adding someone to the backroom team has been on my mind for some time and I know Neil well, having spoken to him at length during his time at Crystal Palace when we were in talks about me going to join him as part of his staff.
"To get him in at this stage of the season, when the games come thick and fast, is perfect timing for us and a fantastic opportunity for us to take advantage of his unparalleled Championship experience," added the Rangers boss.

What is the summary of the following document? | Simon Hamilton made the announcement due to what he said was a rising demand for nurses across the health system.
The move will take the Department of Health's commission of annual student nursing places to 745.
The Royal College of Nursing in Northern Ireland said it was "very good news".
"I'm delighted that the minister has given it a priority in a financially constrained system but it's certainly a very positive step in the right direction," said Janice Smyth, a director of the college.
She added that another 1,500 nurses are still needed to plug "gaps" in Northern Ireland's nursing service.
The confirmation of additional nursing places is one of a number of new funding announcements made by Mr Hamilton in the final weeks of the Northern Ireland Assembly term before May's election.
The training places will be made available from the autumn.
Mr Hamilton said nurses are "central to the delivery of safe, effective and compassionate care".
"Even though we have increased the number of front-line nurses and midwives by 1,200 over the past four-and-a-half years, I recognise that the demand for nurses continues to rise," he said.

Summarize the passage below. | Scarborough Hospital, which has been dogged by financial and care quality concerns, said it had approached York Hospital over a possible partnership.
The move has been prompted by the government's desire for all hospitals to become foundation trusts by 2013.
Scarborough said it would not make the grade without the help of York, which was granted foundation status in 2007.
Scarborough Hospital has debts of £4m and was criticised by regulators earlier this month because of concerns over the standard of its care.
By Penny BustinHealth correspondent, BBC Look North
It's the pressure to get itself financially and clinically fit to become a foundation trust hospital that is behind this move by Scarborough.
By 2013 all hospitals must become foundation trusts and so gain some independence from the NHS.
But they need to be in good shape to qualify.
Scarborough's board met and acknowledged that is an impossible goal to reach in three years, they need help.
They have current debts of £4m, huge historic debts and were heavily criticised last month by the NHS regulator for their standards of care.
They could have turned to anyone for help - the private sector as well as the NHS.
Their preferred partner is their near neighbour York.
A spokesman for the Scarborough and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust said: "To become a foundation trust, hospital trusts are required to meet certain clinical and financial standards which make them fit for a long-term future.
"The requirement to reach foundation trust status by 2013 places us in a difficult position as we are unlikely to meet the tests required to become a stand-alone foundation trust.
"Lack of foundation trust status would impact on our ability to deliver certainty to our clinical services provision and staff on all our sites."
At its meeting on Tuesday, the board considered options for the future in order to secure clinically and financially sustainable services for Scarborough and the surrounding areas, "within the context of a difficult financial climate and changing health policy".
It said it had decided to approach the York Hospital Foundation Trust "to explore the potential for a partnership".
Patrick Crowley, chief executive of York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: "To become a foundation trust, hospital trusts are required to meet certain clinical and financial standards, which make them fit for a long-term future as an independent organisation working within the context of the NHS.
"We and Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust have been working closely with NHS Yorkshire and the Humber and other health partners over the last few months to determine how this can be achieved for Scarborough."
He said the York trust had not yet formally responded to the approach by the Scarborough board.
"All partners are hopeful that we can continue the alliances and partnerships already developed to provide health services for this population," Mr Crowley added. | A struggling hospital in North Yorkshire has revealed it is planning a merger with a neighbouring NHS trust. |

Lodges and an area for cabins, yurts, bunkhouse or camping pods could also be created as part of the proposals.
Forest Enterprise Scotland and HIE will now start to work on attracting investors in the project. As much as £25m could be invested in the plan, the organisations said.
Leanachan Forest lies between Spean Bridge and Fort William.

"Athletically he is excellent. He is a player that I am really pleased to have been able to bring."
Randall has made eight senior appearances, including one while on loan at Shrewsbury Town in season 2014-15.
Cathro's side, who lost at Peterhead on Tuesday, must beat Dunfermline on Saturday to ensure they progress from their Scottish League Cup first-round group.
The head coach admits there is pressure on the team to win but that is nothing other than he expects.
"I feel the pressure like all of us to go to Saturday's game, to be ready for the game, and to win the game," said the 31-year-old.
"But that is something that we feel ourselves for every single game that we play. I'm not overly affected by one or the other because we focus on the game that is ahead of us - the opponent that we play and how we play and to be ready to win the game.
"So that is something that is the same every single time."
With the transfer window not closing until the end of August, Cathro says his squad remains a work in progress but is happy with the business concluded so far, with defenders Christophe Berra, Rafal Grzelak, Michael Smith and Ashley Smith-Brown and forwards Kyle Lafferty and Cole Stockton brought in prior to Randall's arrival.
"I'm happy that we are ready to play the game tomorrow," added Cathro.
"After that, we will continue to work on a number of things. There is still time in the transfer window where we expect to do some things.
"And of course in that period of time we continue to improve. There is no concern. We have a difficult match and a very, very important match now against Dunfermline, who are a good team."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The programme about the Disappeared also hears denials from Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams that he ordered the disappearance of Mrs McConville.
The Disappeared are those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles.
Mrs McConville's body was found at a beach in County Louth in 2003.
By Alison MillarProducer/Director of The Disappeared
"I remember as a child being at an agricultural fair with my family.
Between the latest tractor and cutting edge machinery were stalls selling novelty jeweller. This year I knew exactly what I wanted - an 'Elvis' necklace.
In my excitement to get the necklace, I ran ahead, but in the busy crowds I lost my mum.
It felt like an eternity before my mum came to find me in the security hut. I have never been so happy to see her in my life.
Way before this film began, I saw the footage of the McConville children appealing for their mum to come home. It broke my heart.
Darragh MacIntyre and I spent almost a year getting to know the families of the Disappeared - we listened to one tragic tale after another.
Years of silence inflicted on them by the fear of the IRA had caused a pain that was as raw as the memory of the last moment they saw their loved ones alive.
I saw a profound sadness in the eyes of those families who are waiting for their loved ones remains to be found.
A crucial part of the grieving process has been removed and emptiness will always be in their hearts. "
One of her 10 children, Agnes, described her mother's abduction, which happened in 1972.
"We could hear her squealing, still squealing and looked over at the banister on Divis Flats (in west Belfast) and there she was getting thrown into the back of a van," she said.
"That was the last time that we saw her."
Agnes' brother Michael also recalled seeing his widowed mother being taken away.
"All of us were just wrapped around her, all crying and squealing," he said.
"I remember one of the girls (who abducted her) talking, who I knew because she hadn't got a mask on, she used to be a neighbour of ours, her and her sister were there.
"They kept trying to calm us down, because they knew us and they knew us by name."
In the programme, Mr Adams is asked about allegations that he ordered the murder of Mrs McConville. He is also asked about his knowledge of the fate of two IRA men who also disappeared the same year.
"No, I had no act or part to play in either the abduction, the killing or the burial of Jean McConville or indeed any of these other individuals," he said.
"My focus is in trying to do what I can as an individual to bring those remaining bodies to the families who grieve them, who want a burial place to go to.
"Of course I regret, one wouldn't be a thinking, living human being if one didn't have regrets. All of us bear a responsibility, those of us who are in leadership, and I've never shirked that."
Although the remains of some of the Disappeared have been recovered, seven have never been found.
One of them is Columba McVeigh, a 19-year-old from Donaghmore in County Tyrone, who was abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1975.
His sister, Dympna, told the programme: "I never did anything to the IRA, neither did my mum, so why are they torturing us? Thirty-eight years on and they're still torturing us and that's what it is. How would you feel if it was your brother?
"I've got an image in my head of Columba standing there crying, looking into a hole. Nobody got to say goodbye to him."
The first of the Disappeared to be found was north Belfast man Eamon Molloy, who was 21 when he was abducted and murdered in 1975.
His body was discovered in a coffin left at Faughart graveyard near Dundalk, County Louth, in 1999.
Mr Molloy's brother Martin told the documentary-makers a priest had told the family of Eamon's final moments.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The crash happened when the rider was cycling in Rhyd Ddu, near Beddgelert, on Sunday. The Etape Eryri bike event was being held in the area at the time.
Two air ambulances and two ambulances were sent to the scene on the B4418.
The man has been moved to the Royal Stoke University Hospital. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Villa midfielder Grealish, 20, has chosen to represent England rather than Republic of Ireland but must wait for international clearance to play.
"We wanted to induct him into the England way," Hodgson told BBC Sport.
"Tim made it clear it wasn't a good idea as far as he was concerned because he is behind after missing pre-season."
Hodgson said he had "no problem" with Sherwood's view.
Grealish represented the Republic at under-21 level but turned down a call-up to their senior squad for a friendly against England in June.
The Birmingham-born player qualifies for the Republic through his grandparents.
Hodgson added on BBC Radio 5 live: "The Football Association wanted him to come up to show that they were pleased that he had chosen England.
"We often have young players training with us when we are up there. It wouldn't have been a problem.
"But the thing he has to do now of course is to make certain through his performances for Aston Villa that he merits selection. Hopefully when November comes around he will be available."
England have already qualified for Euro 2016 before their final two group games - against Estonia at Wembley on 9 October and in Lithuania three days later.

"We went through tough times and people want to make up stories," said Saker.
"Kevin has been the same as he has always been. I'm sure what's being reported is nowhere near the truth."
Flower pledged to continue as team director after the Ashes whitewash but doubts remain over the future of Alastair Cook.
He admitted he may step down as one-day skipper after losing the one-day international series in Australia.
A decision to rest Pietersen for the five-match ODI series and three Twenty20 internationals was made in December and he is now back in England, while Flower is not involved with the one-day team and is preparing for the home Test series with Sri Lanka in May.

"The relationship between Kevin Pietersen and Andy Flower hasn't changed from where I'm sitting," Saker added. "That's what happens. When you are losing these things come out quite often."
Meanwhile, Saker, who replaced Ottis Gibson in 2010 and agreed a new contract to 2015 last October, also spoke of his frustration at not being able to improve the fortunes of fast bowler Steven Finn, who left the tour after being deemed "unselectable" because of poor form.
"We've been trying really hard over the whole time he was here," Saker said. "We were getting close at times and at other times we were going backwards.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Warren Weinstein, an American, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian, were killed in the raid in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
President Barack Obama described it as a painful loss he profoundly regretted.
Two other Americans thought to be al-Qaeda members were also killed, one of them in the same raid.
The White House said Ahmed Farouq, an al-Qaeda leader, was killed in that operation and Adam Gadahn, once regarded as a spokesman for the militant group, was killed in a separate raid.
Unnamed officials told Associated Press the attack that killed the hostages was a CIA drone strike.
The president, speaking at the White House about the operation that killed the hostages, said the US had launched the raid in the belief the target was an al-Qaeda compound with no civilians present.
As commander-in-chief, he said, he took "full responsibility" for the operation.
The White House said compensation would be paid to the families of the hostages.
Mr Weinstein's wife Elaine said in a statement the family was "devastated".
"Those who took Warren captive over three years ago bear ultimate responsibility," she added.
She thanked several members of the US congress and unnamed officials from the FBI, but said the assistance received from "other elements of the US government was inconsistent and disappointing".
Mrs Weinstein also criticised the Pakistani government and military who, she said, treated her husband's captivity "as more of an annoyance than a priority".
President Obama said the operation was in compliance with the White House's counterterrorism protocols.
It's a "bitter truth in the fog war" that mistakes occur, but what sets America apart is facing up squarely to its mistakes, he said.
Weinstein, 73, was abducted in Lahore in 2011, where he was working as an aid worker. Lo Porto disappeared from Multan, Pakistan in January 2012. Both men were aid workers.
"There could be no starker contrast between these two selfless men and their al-Qaeda captors," the president said.
He also announced a review into the tragedy.
Adam Gadahn: Al-Qaeda's propagandist
He told the party conference in Perth that they have a vital role to play in any future referendum.
The co-convener also said local government elections are a chance to "bring power back to people".
The Greens won their second-best ever Holyrood result in May's elections, leapfrogging the Lib Dems into fourth place.
The MSP claimed a second independence referendum is the only way to secure Scotland's place in Europe following the Brexit vote.
He said: "We find ourselves with the results of two referendums which can't fit together. We have a two year old 55% mandate and this year's 62% mandate.
"Even if Better Together and the Leave campaign hadn't lied, the UK which people voted for in 2014 no longer exists."
He issued a rallying cry to party members, saying the Greens have a vital role to play in the campaign. He said: "We must prepare for the next independence campaign, not just to win a Yes vote, but to win a better Scotland.
"Greens will continue to strengthen the case on issues such as currency and industrial strategy."
The party could have a decisive role given the SNP's position as a minority government, particularly given the Greens' support for Scottish independence.
However, they have already lined up with other opposition parties against the government in a number of votes on issues like the council tax and fracking.
He also told delegates in Perth that the local government elections are a chance to "make breakthroughs that help bring power back to people".
He said: "We're also moving into a year in which Scotland will decide how our local communities are run for the next five years; when Holyrood will decide whether councillors will have the freedom to renew and revitalise local democracy, or just hand on more cuts to public services.
"And we're moving into a year in which we'll have the chance to build a fairer economy by sharing the wealth that all of us generate but which has been hoarded by so few for so long." | The White House has said that a US counterterrorism operation in January accidentally killed two hostages who were being held by al-Qaeda.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Archaeologists from the National Trust for Scotland are using cutting-edge, laser-scanning technology to create the digital model.
Aerial Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is captured by using a pulsed laser beam fired from a plane.
It is hoped the model will help trace remains from the bloody battle.
The Battle of Culloden, fought in 1746, was the final confrontation between the Jacobite rising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie and government troops led by the Duke of Cumberland, William Augustus.
Using the latest technology, the laser beam scans from side to side over the area and measures thousands of points per second to build up a highly-accurate and detailed model of the ground and the features on it.
Stefan Sagrott, archaeological data officer for the National Trust for Scotland, said: "It's providing us with a view of the Culloden battlefield that we've never had before, and that's really exciting.
"We can filter the Lidar data to remove some of the vegetation such as tree cover and this might allow us to find archaeological remains which are currently hidden within the tree cover."
Mr Sagrott said the scan had also captured areas with prehistoric remains, such as the Clava Cairns, and these sites will also be looked at. | The Culloden battlefield site is being scanned to provide a detailed model of the landscape 270 years on from the Jacobites' final stand. |

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Renan Calheiros defied an earlier injunction by judge Marco Aurelio Mello, who said his position was untenable after the court ruled that he must face trial.
But the court voted to strip him from being in line for the presidency.
His removal could have derailed a government austerity plan.
The controversial proposal, known as PEC-55, is scheduled to go to the Senate before the end of the year.
The legislation includes big spending cuts and is a key part of President Michel Temer's plan to control the budget deficit and revive the country's economy.
Mr Calheiros' suspension would have left the leadership of the Senate in the hands of a leftist senator whose Workers' Party opposes the plan.
By a 6-3 majority, the court decided that, while no indicted person can be in line for the presidency of the country, that does not mean they have to step down from other positions.
As head of the Senate, Mr Calheiros, 61, is second-in-line after the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia.
Brazil does not currently have a vice president, as Mr Temer, who occupied the post, replaced Dilma Rousseff as president after her impeachment earlier this year.
Mr Calheiros, a major ally of President Temer, is accused of agreeing with a construction company that it should pay maintenance for a daughter he had fathered during an extramarital affair with a journalist.
In a case that dates back to 2007, the company allegedly billed the Senate for the payments.
He was forced to resign as Senate leader at the time, but was re-elected six years later. He denies any wrongdoing.
He is also being investigated in connection with a big kickback scheme at the state-owned oil company, Petrobras. Dozens of politicians, civil servants and businessmen have been detained since the investigation, known as Operation Car Wash, began in 2014.
Mr Trump accused US spies of leaking allegations that Russia had compromising material on him.
But James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, said he was "profoundly dismayed" by the leak.
He also said the intelligence community had not "made any judgment" that the information was reliable.
His statement said he had spoken to Mr Trump on Wednesday evening.
"I emphasised that this document is not a US Intelligence Community product and that I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC."
Mr Clapper said they agreed the security breach was "extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security" and the intelligence community "stands ready to serve his administration".
The president-elect gave a press conference in which he responded to unsubstantiated allegations that his election team colluded with Russia and there were salacious videos of his private life.
CNN first reported the claims on Tuesday, although did not give details, and then Buzzfeed published a 35-page dossier of allegations.
An enraged Mr Trump pointed the finger and said: "I think it's pretty sad when intelligence reports get leaked out to the press."
He called Buzzfeed a "failing pile of garbage" and refused to take a question from a CNN reporter.
Tensions between Mr Trump and the intelligence agencies have been strained in recent weeks.
The president-elect had failed to accept assessments that Russia had hacked the Democratic Party to help Mr Trump win the election.
On Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey refused to say whether the FBI was investigating any possible ties between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign.
Christopher Steele is understood to be the author of the series of memos regarding Donald Trump which have aroused such controversy.
Mr Steele is said to be a former member of the British Secret Intelligence Service MI6 and a director of Orbis - which describes itself as a leading corporate intelligence company.
The research is believed to have been commissioned initially by Republicans opposed to Mr Trump and consists of extensive allegations about his personal life, business deals and his campaign's relationship with the Russian state. However, the allegations have not been independently substantiated or verified and some details have been challenged as incorrect by those who are mentioned.
Mr Trump himself was briefed about the existence of the allegations by the US intelligence community last week but has described them as "fake news".
Mr Steele did not respond to a request for comment.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The first release of Android Wear is designed for smartwatches and helps them follow voice commands.
Google said it was also working with electronics firms, chip makers and fashion labels on wearable gadgets running Android.
One of the first Android Wear devices will be Motorola's Moto 360 smart watch that will go on sale in the summer.
The search giant's work on Android Wear builds on its experiences with Google Glass augmented spectacles.
Android Wear was announced via the official Google blog and marks a significant move for the company into the wearables sector.
In a blogpost Sundar Pichai, head of Android at Google, said the software would prove useful for gadgets that monitor key health parameters or which people use when they go running or cycling.
It could also lead to a class of devices that respond quickly to spoken commands including answering short questions, booking a taxi or sending a text without having to tap anything on a smartphone touchscreen.
Google said it was working on a new user interface for Android that reacted quickly, was driven by a person's voice and which drew on contextual information, such as a user's location, to be useful.
Software development kits which application developers can play with have also been released.
"We're always seeking new ways for technology to help people live their lives and this is just another step in that journey," wrote Mr Pichai.
The decision to move into wearables would pitch Google into more intense competition with arch-rival Apple, said Stuart Miles, founder of tech news site Pocket-lint.
"It's a threat to Apple because the Android ecosystem is growing so fast," he said.
Some of the early designs for Android Wear smart watches looked great, he added, and if that were combined with a good second-screen notification system it could win people over and get them to defect from Apple,
However, he said, his experiences of living with a Pebble smart watch for the last four months showed that people had yet to adapt to the appearance of such devices.
"The social element that is against it is that people think you are bored of them when you are looking at your smart watch," he said. | Google has announced a version of its Android operating system designed specifically for wearable devices. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was quoted as saying he had shown Mr Putin the 4.94-carat, diamond-encrusted ring while in St Petersburg.
"I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket," Mr Kraft told an awards gala, according to the New York Post.
But the Kremlin spokesman insisted the ring had been a gift.
The ring was one of around 70 given to the Patriots team after they won Super Bowl XXXIX in February 2005, five months before Mr Kraft's trip to Russia. It is said to be worth $25,000 (£16.000; 18,700 euros).
The Post reported last week that Mr Kraft had told a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York how he had wanted the ring back but had been advised by the White House to treat it as a gift.
"I took out the ring and showed it to [President Putin], and he put it on and he goes: 'I can kill someone with this ring'," the Patriots owner was quoted as saying.
Mr Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he had himself seen Mr Kraft present the ring to the president and suggested that any suggestion that he was put under pressure should be an issue for "detailed discussion with psychoanalysts".
"If the gentleman is really experiencing such excruciating pain from his loss... the president is ready to send him any other ring he can buy for that kind of money," he told reporters in London, where Mr Putin was having talks with UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
A Kraft Group spokesperson played down the story on Sunday, telling the Associated Press that Mr Kraft was very happy his ring was at the Kremlin and that it was a "humorous, anecdotal story that Robert retells for laughs". | Vladimir Putin's spokesman has denied a report that the Russian president mistakenly pocketed a Super Bowl ring during a 2005 visit by a US tycoon. |
Summarize the following piece. | The thieves stole the safe containing silver plates, chalices and other silverware from Pip and Jim's Church in St James Place, Ilfracombe, Devon on Saturday night.
The safe was found ripped open nearby.
Churchgoers held their Sunday morning service in a nearby pub while police investigations at the church continued.
Vicar's wife Alison Rogers, who discovered the burglary, said: "I was going to church to lead an act of worship and the back door was all in slivers where it had been damaged.
"I called the police and 10 minutes later they said they had found the safe. The burglars had put it on a trolley and taken it about 300 yards to Capstone Hill."
The service was held at Wetherspoon's pub in the town.
"It's just outside the church gates," said Mrs Rogers.
"It was a fabulous service. They have always been very kind to us."
No value has been put on the stolen silverware but Mrs Rogers said: "At least no-one was hurt."
Insp Ian Dawson of Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We would stress that the risk to the public is very low, as the safe was in an open area but it is clear the offenders may well have exposed themselves to any asbestos the safe contained when they forced it open,.
"As such they should take steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of family members or associates they have visited after the crime."
Renee and Andrew MacRae, who was three, vanished on 12 November 1976.
Mrs MacRae's burned-out BMW was discovered that night in a lay-by on the A9 south of Inverness.
In statement, the family said it was "collectively heartbroken" the pair remained missing 40 years on but were still hopeful of finding answers.
Police Scotland said an investigation into their disappearance remained ongoing.
On the evening of her disappearance Mrs MacRae, 36, had set off to meet her lover Bill McDowell in Perth but he insisted they never met.
There has been speculation that Renee MacRae and her son were murdered and their bodies buried at either a quarry or at construction works for the A9.
In 2004, police searched nearby Dalmagarry quarry but no bodies were found.
Two years later a report naming a suspect who may have killed the pair was sent to prosecutors but they decided there was insufficient evidence to take action.
It has been reported recently that "an anomaly" has been detected by ground penetrating radar in the foundations of a bridge near the lay-by where the car was found.
However, Police Scotland said its inquiries indicated construction work did not start in this area until some time after Mrs MacRae's disappearance.
The force said it would nonetheless liaise with contractors involved in the current A9 upgrade in an effort to explain the radar anomaly.
In their newly released statement, the family said: "Forty years have passed since the disappearance of Renee and Andrew and as a family we remain collectively heartbroken to have lost a much loved and cherished mother, sister, brother and friend to many.
"We cannot give up hope that somebody holds information which could help lead us to the answers as to what happened to our beloved Renee and Andrew.
"Our message is it is never too late. We are confident these answers will come from the local community and as a family we urge that person to come forward - until such time the person who caused harm to Renee and Andrew will continue to escape justice and we will be without closure."
Det Supt Jim Smith, of Police Scotland's Major Investigations Team North, said: "As in all cases such as these, there is a family quite rightly seeking answers and closure.
"We are determined to do all we can to find those answers, and to that end continue to maintain contact with the family of Christine MacRae and Andrew MacRae as the years go on.
"The passage of time is no barrier and we continue to urge anyone who may have information that could assist the investigation to come forward." | Police say burglars who stole a safe from a church may have been exposed to asbestos in its lining and should seek medical help.

Summarize the provided information. | They hope to fool Scottish corncrakes flying from Africa to spring breeding grounds in the highlands.
Rathlin is in the flight path of the migrating birds, which were once common here, but have all but died out.
There is still a breeding population in Scotland and the RSPB hopes some may return to the County Antrim island.
Corncrake numbers began to decline in Northern Ireland with changes to farming.
Their crek-crek call was a signal that summer was on its way.
But a move from hay to silage hit both habitat and bird numbers.
The corncrake is reluctant to break cover.
That meant silage, which is normally cut from the edge to the middle of the field, posed a big risk as birds sought shelter in the middle of the crop and fell foul of machinery.
RSPB Northern Ireland volunteers have been planting strips of nettles around the edges of fields on the island.
They grow early and will provide cover for calling males from the end of April.
If a male is heard, the farmer will be eligible for a grant to delay the harvesting of his ground.
He will also be encouraged to cut from the centre of the field to the edge, to let the birds escape into the field margins.
Gregory Woulahan, head of reserves with RSPB NI, says ten calling males on the island would be a sustainable population.
"Now that's a lot of birds to get in at any one time. But the RSPB has been leading a project in the Nene Washes in the east of England where we actually reintroduced corncrake.
"That's still to be proven if it works or not.
"And if it does work there is that potential here on Rathlin if we got the right amount of habitat for them."
Rathlin last had a calling male in 2014, but a helicopter landed in the same field and scared it off.
A handful of sightings are reported in Northern Ireland every year. The last one was at Articlave near Coleraine.
There is also a small number of the birds in some places in the Irish Republic, including the islands off the County Donegal coast.
Thomas James Lewis, 22, was involved in the accident on the A483 near Penllergaer at 17:25 BST on Tuesday.
In a statement released by police, his family said they are devastated and he will be greatly missed.

The fate of Jason Rezaian, a 39-year-old Washington Post journalist, is expected to be revealed within days.
His defence lawyer, Leila Ashan, submitted a 20-page document and she and Mr Rezaian both gave oral defences. He faces 10 to 20 years in prison.
It was the fourth closed-door hearing in Mr Rezaian's trial, held by Iran's Revolutionary Court in Tehran.
Mr Rezaian's case has been condemned by the Washington Post and press freedom groups.
"He is paying the price of the suspicion, the animosity and the paranoia between the two countries," his mother Mary Rezaian said.
Her son, his wife Salehi and two photojournalists were all arrested in July 2014 in Iran. He was the only one of the group not to be released.
He was charged with espionage and distributing propaganda against the Islamic Republic.
"It remains unclear even to Jason's lawyer what might happen next," said the Post's executive editor Martin Baron. "The process has been anything but transparent and just, and that pattern persists."
"The only thing that is clear is Jason's innocence."
The Post filed a petition with the United Nations Human Rights Council's Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions in an attempt to influence Iran to release him.

Thousands of women have complained that they were not given proper notice.
Women born after 6 April 1951 should all have been warned that they would not get a state pension at 60, as their retirement age is gradually raised.
Pensions Minister Baroness Altmann said adverts were also placed in papers and magazines about the changes.
However, a campaign has resulted in a petition signed by 137,000 people and a series of hearings and debates in Parliament - the latest of which is on Monday.
Under the 1995 Pensions Act, the government decided that the pension ages of both men and women would be equalised by 2020. Previously, women retired at 60, while men retired at 65.
In 2011, state pension ages were raised at an even faster rate.
Some of those born between April 1951 and 1960 will not qualify for a pension until the age of 66.
Campaigners belonging to Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) say some women had very little notice that they would not get a pension at 60.
They are calling for "transitional arrangements" for those affected.
Baroness Altmann called for a slower timetable in 2011 before she was pensions minister.
However, she said that agreeing to the campaigners demands would, in itself, be unfair to younger women. She told the BBC that the state pension age for women had been rising for six years and was now at 63, and that reforms in April meant it would be more generous.
She added that the letters sent to women had been clear, although she accepted that not everyone would have received them if the Department for Work and Pensions had out of date contact details.

Mr Murphy had been the shadow international development secretary since October of last year.
He is one of three candidates standing in the contest to replace Johann Lamont, who quit as leader of the Scottish Labour Party last month.
Meanwhile, the MSP Kezia Dugdale has confirmed she has entered the deputy leadership race.
Speaking to BBC 5Live's Pienaar's Politics programme, Mr Murphy said: "I want to dedicate myself full-time to changing Scotland and changing the Scottish Labour Party.
"It's difficult to do that and to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, and therefore after talking to Ed Miliband over the past couple of days I've decided to stand down from the shadow cabinet."
Confirming her deputy leadership candidacy on Twitter, Ms Dugdale said: "Delighted to have secured enough nominations for deputy leader to be on ballot - will be saying much more tomorrow".
She is regarded as being a rising star within Scottish Labour, and had been seen as a potential candidate for the party leadership before ruling herself out soon after Ms Lamont quit.
The Lothians MSP is currently Labour's education spokeswoman in the Scottish Parliament.
Seven of the 11 MPs and MSPs to have nominated her for deputy leader have also nominated Mr Murphy for the leadership job.
The only other candidate to have confirmed she is standing to replace Anas Sarwar as deputy leader is the North Ayrshire and Arran MP Katy Clark.
Ms Clark has received the support of the Unison union, which on Saturday backed the MSP Neil Findlay to be party leader.
The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) have also said they are supporting Ms Clark.
She said: "Thousands of trade unionists will be participating in this election which is a real opportunity for the leadership and deputy leadership candidates to engage with the thousands of trade unionists up and down the country who will have a vote on who leads Scottish Labour.
"Trade union members and Labour Party members have a shared agenda of wanting a Scottish Labour Party which fights to defend and improve public services and living standards.

Charlie Phillips, a Whale and Dolphin Conservation field officer, watched the otter as it landed the ling on a support of the Kessock Bridge at Inverness on Saturday.
Mr Phillips had been on the Inverness Marina-based boat, Mischief, trying to spot bottlenose dolphins when he and the craft's crew came across the otter and its "snack".
The conservation officer said: "We did see one harbour porpoise, but the real cracker of a sighting was seeing the otter landing on the Kessock Bridge bumpers with a huge fish." | All images copyrighted. |

Sami Salem, 30, who appeared via video link at Liverpool Crown Court, accepted he unlawfully killed his family but did not formally enter murder pleas.
He will now be examined by a psychiatrist, the court heard.

What is the summary of the following article? | The power is designed to be used if the assembly or the Northern Ireland secretary thinks a Stormont party or one of its ministers is in breach of their commitments to non-violence, peace and democracy.
Politicians found to be in breach can be excluded from office for periods between three and 12 months.
On their own, Peter Robinson's Democratic Unionists have the 30 members of the Northern Ireland Assembly necessary to table an exclusion motion.
But for such a resolution to pass there has to be a cross-community vote.
Sinn Féin could block such a vote because its MLAs represent a clear majority of nationalists in the assembly.
If such a cross-community vote did not pass, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers has the power to direct the exclusion of Sinn Féin from office.
If all the other members of the Stormont coalition were demanding this, Ms Villiers would have to seriously consider the option.
While Mr Robinson has talked about using the exclusion power, such a prospect remains some way off.
What will prove crucial in the coming days and weeks will be the security assessments from the Chief Constable, George Hamilton, and the Northern Ireland secretary about whether the Provisional IRA ceasefire is intact, and what role the organisation continues to play in 2015, a decade after it announced an end to its armed campaign. | The power of exclusion which the First Minister, Peter Robinson, wants to talk to other parties about is contained in the 1998 law which put the Good Friday Agreement into effect. |
Summarize the provided section. | Many of the figures, including Han Solo, Jabba the Hutt, Princess Leia and Ewoks, were still in their original packaging.
Also in the sale at Duke's Auctioneers in Dorchester were "life-size" figures of Yoda, a Jawa and a lightsaber.
Auctioneer Matthew Denney said the items sold to about 30 buyers located around the country.
He said about 50% of the collection had been sold to people in Dorset.
The collection was assembled over many years by a Star Wars enthusiast and the items related to all six movies, with an emphasis on the three original films, Mr Denney said.
The items were divided into 50 lots, with a Han Solo in carbonate figure fetching the highest price of £1,000.
Some of the toys were manufactured in the 1970s by firms such as Kenner and Palitoy.
Before the auction Mr Denney said: "Some of the early items such as the Kenner manufactured model of the 'Land Speeder' are now rare, especially when they are in their original packaging.
"This sale is sure to leave some of us thinking 'if only we had kept our toys nicely in their boxes …..'."
Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Durham police all told BBC News handsets had been remotely "wiped".
And Dorset police said this had happened to six of the seized devices it had in custody, within one year.
The technology used was designed to allow owners to remove sensitive data from their phones if they are stolen.
"If a device has a signal, in theory it is possible to wipe it remotely," said Ken Munro, a digital forensics expert with Pen Test Partners.
A spokeswoman for Dorset police told the BBC: "There were six incidents, but we don't know how people wiped them.
"We have cases where phones get seized, and they are not necessarily taken from an arrested person - but we don't know the details of these cases as there is not a reason to keep records of this," she added.
A spokeswoman for Derbyshire police confirmed that the force had had one incident of a device being remotely wiped while in police custody.
"We can't share many details about it, but the case concerned romance fraud, and a phone involved with the investigation was remotely wiped," she said.
"It did not impact upon the investigation, and we went on to secure a conviction," she added.
Meanwhile Cleveland police told the BBC that it too had had a case of a phone that had been wiped but it was not clear "whether it was wiped prior to coming into police hands".
Asked whether the police felt that the issue had damaged their investigation, the spokeswoman said: "We don't know because we don't know what was on the phone."
Other police forces affected by the issue include:
Mr Munro, who analyses hundreds of laptops, tablets, phones and other devices for corporate clients, said: "When we seize a device for digital forensics, we put it immediately into a radio-frequency shielded bag, which prevents any signals from getting through.
"If we can't get to the scene within an hour, we tell the client to pop it in a microwave oven.
"The microwave is reasonably effective as a shield against mobile or tablet signals - just don't turn it on."
SecureDrives, which develops hard drives for the military, is releasing one next year that can be physically destroyed just by sending a text message.
The hard drive -which will cost more than £1,000 - is also immune to the radio-frequency blocking bags.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | The campaign has fired a member of staff who had viewed data owned by the Hillary Clinton campaign in the party-controlled database.
The Sanders campaign and the Democratic party have blamed the software vendor.
The party has asked for a full investigation into the software.
Robby Mook, the campaign manager for the Clinton campaign, said that "this was a very egregious breach and our data was stolen".
Sanders campaign officials blamed a software glitch for allowing the low-level member of staff access.
However Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said multiple Sanders staff members accessed Clinton campaign data and downloaded it.
The Sanders campaign on Friday filed a lawsuit against the DNC in a federal court to restore its access to the voter data.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver called the DNC's actions "a heavy-handed attempt to undermine our campaign".
Strategically important information on voters is contained in the database, which campaigns use to decide strategy.
That data takes on a crucial role as campaigns prepare for early primary voting in just over a month's time.
Forbidding the Sanders campaign from accessing the database will significantly hamper its ability to reach out to new Democratic voters, says the BBC's Anthony Zurcher in Washington.
The DNC maintains the database and charges campaigns for access.
The campaigns then add their own data gathered by volunteers and field workers; this data, when the software is working correctly, cannot be accessed by other campaigns.
During a software update on Wednesday, members of staff at the Sanders campaign were inadvertently granted access to the private data stores of the Clinton campaign.
The DNC has suspended the Sanders campaign's access to the database until it provides an explanation of why the data was accessed and guarantees that any and all data proprietary to the Clinton campaign that it may have a copy of is destroyed.
"After discussion with the DNC, it became clear that one of our staffers accessed some modelling data from another campaign," Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement quoted by the New York Times.
"That behaviour is unacceptable and that staffer was immediately fired."
Primary voting begins in early February.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Its foreign ministry said the Syrian government would participate "in order for Syrians themselves to find a political path to a solution".
It follows efforts to get all the sides involved in the peace talks.
Syria's main opposition group entered a second day of talks Friday aimed at finding an approach to the conference.
"We note with satisfaction that we have received an agreement in principle from Damascus to attend the international conference, in the interest of Syrians themselves finding a political path to resolve the conflict, which is ruinous for the nation and region," Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said.
The international conference, backed by Russia and the US, aims to find a political solution to the conflict in Syria, based on the final communique of the UN-backed Action Group for Syria meeting in the Swiss city in June 2012.
The communique called for an immediate end to violence and the establishment of a transitional government that could include officials serving under President Bashar al-Assad and members of the opposition.
US Secretary of State John Kerry warned the Syrian president on Wednesday that if he was not prepared to make "a commitment to find peace in his country", the US and others would consider increasing backing for his opponents.
"Our understanding [is that] if Geneva 2 were not on the horizon, all we would be looking at is the continued tragic disintegration of the county that will go down further into more violence and more destruction," he added.
On Thursday, the outgoing leader of Syria's main opposition coalition Moaz al-Khatib put forward a detailed plan for the transition of power in Syria.
The proposal came at the start of three days of talks in Istanbul aimed at revamping the membership and leadership of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.
It stipulates that Mr Assad must leave office, a demand likely to be rejected by Mr Assad and his key backer, Russia. It also calls for Mr Assad and his family to be given a safe exit if he stands down.
The National Coalition demanded on Friday that the Syrian government confirm for itself whether it would be taking part in the international peace conference, the news agency AFP reports.
The UN says that more than 80,000 people have been killed since the uprising against the Syrian president began in March 2011. There are 1.5 million refugees taking shelter in neighbouring countries and an estimated 4.25 million internally displaced people.
The figures, covering the year ending 31 May 2015, show the Gunners spent a record £114m on new players.
But they have been criticised by some fans for only making one signing - keeper Petr Cech - over the summer.
"We're focused on delivering more success," said Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.
The cash reserves of £193.1m are intended to cover costs for a full season and are not solely designated for player transfers.
However, the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association insists the strong financial figures must be matched by positive results on the pitch.

"For Ospreys to secure such a quality player is a major coup. We look forward to welcoming him to the region," said general manager Andrew Millward.
"JJ is a much-needed, quality addition to the squad, who not only brings experience at the highest end of the game, but also a real dynamism in the wider channels."
Millward said the retirement of Andrew Bishop and Ashley Beck's knee injury had left Ospreys "stretched at times" in midfield.
He added: "JJ is the kind of player who, with his physical attributes, can be really captivating. We want to compete at the very top level and he is the kind of player you need to be able to do so.

King Kigeli died last October, aged 80, in the United States, where he had been living since 1992.
The former monarch had reportedly not wanted to be buried in Rwanda as long as the current government was in power.
However, a US court ruled in favour of relatives in Rwanda who wanted his body returned there to be laid to rest.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other news
"We are very happy to have him back in his country of birth," said James Vuningoma, executive secretary of the Rwanda Academy of Language and Culture (RALC), who was at Kigali airport when the king's remains arrived.
A number of relatives, including King Kigeli's half-sister, were also there.
Earlier, the king's Royal Council had said Kigeli had not wanted to be buried in Rwanda "as long as the current government administration that was hostile to his majesty in life was still in power".
Born Jean-Baptiste Ndahindurwa, Kigeli ascended to the throne in 1959 but ruled for less than a year before being forced into exile.
Rwanda abolished the monarchy in 1961.
King Kigeli lived in several other African countries before eventually settling in the US where he set up a charity helping Rwandan refugees and orphans.
A 2013 profile in Washingtonian magazine found him living off food stamps in subsidised housing.
King Kigeli was the last in a line of monarchs from the minority Tutsi ethnic group, which had dominated Rwanda for many years, but the Belgian former colonial power favoured the majority Hutus and backed a coup.
When Rwanda was proclaimed a republic, a Hutu, Dominique Mbonyumutwa, was made president.
Tens of thousands of Tutsis went into exile after King Kigeli and for three decades the country endured ethnic violence.
It culminated in the 1994 genocide, in which some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
Current President Paul Kagame came to power at the end of the killings, as the head of a Tutsi rebel group.
King Kigeli held onto the hope that he could return to the throne in Rwanda, at the head of a constitutional monarchy.
A small opposition party argued that the king could be a force of unity in a country still torn by the legacy of the genocide.
But the government was willing to let him return only as a private citizen. | Ospreys have signed South Africa centre JJ Engelbrecht until the end of the season, subject to a work permit.

Summarize this article briefly. | Andrew Burns was answering a question over whether the schools would be closed until the summer.
The council has confirmed construction defects have been discovered at all 17 schools built under the PPP1 project.
The problems, identified after a school wall collapsed, relate to missing ties used to support building walls.
Five secondaries, 10 primaries and two additional support needs schools were shut due to concerns over structural issues.
All of the schools, which are about 10 years old, were constructed under the same public private partnership contract.
About 7,600 pupils were initially affected and there are still no plans for how to get 3,200 children back in to classrooms.
Most will have to attend different schools until their own is declared safe.
The council said there were still no plans in place to accommodate pupils from five primary schools and S1 and S2 students at Firrhill and The Royal High School.
S1, S2 and S3 students at Gracemount and Craigroyston have also not yet been placed in temporary school accommodation.
The council pays £1.5m a month to Edinburgh Schools Partnership to maintain and look after 17 school buildings in the city as part of a £540m 30-year-contract.
The council is clawing back a "large percentage" of that money while it has no use of 14 schools that have been completely closed over the safety fears.
Three schools - The Royal High, Drummond and Firrhill - are being partially used, as they were refurbished during the PPP work and not completely rebuilt.
Speaking on BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland, Mr Burns said the buildings were not inspected by the council when their construction was completed.
Mr Burns said the private sector consortium that built them- Edinburgh Schools Partnership - self-certified that they met "all the relevant building standards".
The council leader said: "Under the regulations in place at the time, this is a really important point, under the regulations that were in place at the time Edinburgh Schools Partnership and its agents self-certified to the council, as they were entitled to do so, that the buildings complied with all the relevant building standards."
He added: "During the construction there was ongoing involvement from the council but the self certification process that was there at the time, quite rightly, quite legally, quite properly, Edinburgh Schools Partnership self-certified to the council that the buildings were compliant with all the relevant building standards.
"So the responsibility lies with the schools partnership."
About 7,600 pupils missed the first two days of the new term following the Easter break and thousands will not be back in classrooms at any school until next week.
The council announced on Wednesday that practical exams, such as oral language tests, due to take place at the five high schools affected by the closure had been postponed.
Mr Burns told BBC Scotland: "Early indications are that there is evidence of some fault at all the schools but it's too early to say how that will physically impact in terms of the length of closure for each of the individual 17 schools."
The Labour councillor added: "Some schools will be affected in a small way and other schools might be affected in the longer term."
Mr Burns said the money paid to the Edinburgh Schools Partnership was being "clawed back".
He said: "We will be making sure that that money is reclaimed. That will be absolutely the cost to Edinburgh Schools Partnership and will not cost the Edinburgh tax payer a penny."
The majority of the 2,000 pupils preparing for exams at the five high schools affected resumed lessons on Wednesday.
Senior pupils from three secondaries - Drummond High, Firrhill High and The Royal High School - were able to return to their usual building as they only had partial refurbishments as part of the PPP project.
Older Gracemount students were asked to report to Liberton High School.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The Scottish Parliament's equal opportunities committee called for the government to prioritise loneliness and isolation as a public health issue.
The committee said it was as significant in Scotland as low income.
It also called for the government to develop a strategy to reduce the stigma of "admitting to loneliness".
MSPs heard evidence of older people who went to great lengths for company, such as visiting their doctor every week and riding the bus all day.
They also heard that young people who suffer from loneliness "forget what it is like to be in the company of other young people".
The committee noted that in older people, loneliness was linked to dementia rates and malnutrition.
According to Age UK, two in five older people in Scotland said television was their main form of company.
Michelle McCrindle, of charity Food Train, told the committee of people in their late 90s who "thought that their lives were over" but had discovered "a whole new life" after going to the charity's befriending groups.
In young people, the committee heard that the early effects of bullying and a lack of social inclusion could lead to isolation.
Being in poverty - and the associated social stigma it sometimes carries - may cause young people to become isolated, witnesses giving evidence suggested.
Loneliness in young people was a particular problem for the LGBT community, those from ethnic minorities, or those who had a disability and was linked to suffering discrimination.
Margaret McCulloch MSP, convener of the equal opportunities committee, said loneliness was a "considerable problem in Scotland" and that "individual citizens, public services and the Scottish government must take collective responsibility to tackle the situation".
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We are committed to tackling inequality and social exclusion, and welcome the contribution made through today's publication of the Equal Opportunities Committee's Report.
"This is an important issue, with no easy answers, however we are committed to exploring what more we can do to tackle this serious issue which still affects too many in Scotland.
She added: "The committee's considerations are wide-ranging and we will consider them fully before responding to the report's recommendations.
"We will ensure its findings are included in our Fairer Scotland discussion, which calls on people with direct experience of exclusion to put forward their views and help shape the way we tackle this issue in the future."

Lady Smith said she was determined to find out "what happened, where, how and why".
The inquiry will examine historical allegations of child abuse in Scotland.
It is expected to last four years, and will look at the extent of abuse of children in care and identify any systemic failures.
Lady Smith replaced Susan O'Brien QC as chairwoman of the inquiry after she quit the post in July citing government interference.
A second member of the three-person panel, Prof Michael Lamb, also resigned over similar concerns.
Lady Smith said: "I come to this role with 15 years of experience as a judge of the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary. I am personally committed to it and will discharge my duties independently, thoroughly and to the best of my ability.
"This independent inquiry was established in October 2015 for purposes which include the need to raise public awareness of the fact of children in residential care having been abused, to acknowledge and record the suffering of those children, to carry out investigations and to make recommendations.
"It will investigate how children were failed, what went so badly wrong, identify what makes residential care safe for a child and make recommendations about what we consider is required to ensure that now, and in the future, the welfare of children is truly paramount and children are properly protected. My fellow panel member, Glenn Houston, and I are committed to delivering a thorough and conscientious response to its remit."
Lady Smith said restriction orders to protect the anonymity of witnesses and victims had been issued "where appropriate".

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Clwyd West assembly member Darren Millar wants parks better regulated so that caravans are occupied no more than 11 months of the year.
He is seeking permission from the assembly to introduce a Holiday Caravan Park (Wales) Bill.
The British Holiday and Home Parks Association shares his concerns but says parks could become over-regulated.
Static caravans can only be lived in for a maximum 11 months annually and Mr Millar said there was a negative impact on the economy by people who flout the rule.
Mr Millar is concerned by the number of caravan park operators wanting to offer 12-month occupancy.
Previously, he has said such a move could lead to "trailer park ghettoes".
He said: "Unfortunately, there are some caravan park owners which are unscrupulous and do not manage their parks to the highest standards and, of course, because tourism is such an important part of the north Wales economy, what we have to do is protect it as best as we possibly can and make it sustainable for the future.
Mr Millar said the main problem was an increase in recent years in the number of people using their holiday caravans as their main home.
He said: "If people are living in caravans all year round they are, effectively, residents in the area but of course they do not pay council tax in the same way that other local residents would pay council tax but they will still be seeking entitlement to local public services.
"Obviously there is a cost to local authorities, there's a cost to the health service, there's a cost to the police service - and none of it is being reimbursed to their pockets."
Mr Millar suggested an "extensive consultation" over how the situation would be policed, which is currently the responsibility of the local authorities.
Mr Millar said: "What we have to do is to make sure they are better equipped with the tools that they need to do a really effective job and that's, hopefully, what my legislation will deliver."
Figures from local authorities show there are currently 55 licences across Wales for 12-month trading, with 43 in north Wales counties.
There were 25 applications for such licences in 2012 and 13, with 23 in north Wales, compared with six applications across Wales in 2011 and 12.
A spokesperson for the British Holiday and Home Parks Association (BHHPA) said it shared Mr Millar's concerns, adding: "We also recognise the importance of ensuring that Wales continues to benefit from the major contribution made by parks to the regional economy by protecting the industry's reputation.
"There exists within present legislation the means to prevent the misuse of caravan holiday homes by either consumers or businesses. This power lies within the hands of local authorities which are able to enforce the terms of planning consents and the site licences they issue, including requirements for holiday caravans not to be used for residential occupation.
"There is concern within the industry that inappropriately drafted legislation could place an onerous red-tape burden on businesses." | People living in static caravans all year round are damaging the Welsh economy, a Conservative has claimed. |

President Mursi has been criticised for the time he has taken to name a prime minister and form a government.
He promised an inclusive government, with women and Christians represented. The cabinet line-up includes only two women - one of them is a Christian.
His nomination of Mr Qandil, the outgoing water resources minister, surprised many observers, who had been expecting a well-known figure.
Speaking at a news conference in Cairo ahead of the ceremony, Mr Qandil appealed for Egyptians to pull together to support the new government.
"I call on all Egyptians to rally behind our elected president and to work with the government to achieve all of our goals.
"We have to stop asking who is a Copt, a Muslim or a Salafi. I don't see that. All I see is that we are all Egyptians and this should be the main principle."

Egypt's first government under President Mursi has a low-profile feel - many of the ministers are technocrats with little political experience.
Critics, including the young secular liberals who sparked Egypts uprising 18 months ago, will say it does not have the air of a revolutionary government. Many of the new ministers worked under former President Hosni Mubarak.
Crucially, Egypt's long-standing Defence Minister Hussein Tantawi will keep his job. He runs the country's military, which seems reluctant to hand over power to civilian rule.
In one respect, President Mursi has avoided confrontation, approving only a handful of Islamist ministers from his own Muslim Brotherhood movement.
But the battle for who actually controls Egypt will continue to be fought out in the coming months.
The new government will have its work cut out. Egypt's economy is floundering and many Egyptians say they've seen little improvement in their day-to-day lives.
President Mursi has listed his main priorities as security, fuel, rubbish, bread and traffic.
Mr Qandil will hold a meeting with members of his government on Saturday to discuss the next steps on seeking an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan, he said, according to the Reuters news agency.
Seven ministers will remain from the outgoing military-appointed cabinet - including Mumtaz al-Said, who will serve as finance minister, and Mohammed Kamal Amr, who stays on as foreign minister.
Former prime minister Kamal Ganzouri becomes a presidential adviser.
The re-appointment of Field Marshal Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), is in line with an interim constitutional declaration issued after June's presidential election run-off.
The Scaf assumed presidential powers after Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down as president in February 2011.
Its declaration and decision to dissolve parliament only days before caused outrage and overshadowed the nominal transfer of power to President Mursi on 30 June.
Of the ministers appointed, only four are members of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which Mr Mursi used to lead.
They were given posts in higher education, housing, youth and information - the ministry which regulates the media.
Another key post, the minister of religious endowments (Awqaf), went to Osama al-Abd, the president of al-Azhar University.

Marcus Nash alerted birders nationwide after seeing the citril finch in Burnham Overy on Sunday morning.
The bird normally lives in mountainous areas of Europe including the Alps and the Pyrenees.
Mr Nash said: "I've seen them before in the Alps, so immediately knew what it was."
The male bird remained at the dunes during the day and was spotted again on Monday.
Paul Stancliffe, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said the only other recorded sighting of the bird in the country was on the Shetland Isles, in 2008.
"It's just an incredible record," Mr Stancliffe said. "It doesn't normally move very far. It must have got caught up in a weather front."
David North, from Norfolk Wildlife Trust, said the area was a "mecca" for wild birds and continued to amaze.
"There are always surprises but not many birders would have guessed they would see a citril finch," he said.
Mr North urged visitors to keep to footpaths, to protect nesting birds.
