Please summarize the given passage. | It is the first time inflation had turned negative for six months, with an 8.9% fall in the price of energy largely responsible for the decline.
Core inflation in the eurozone, which strips out energy and food prices, showed a 0.9% rise, the same as August.
The Eurostat statistics agency also said the eurozone's unemployment rate for August was unchanged at 11%.
Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), warned earlier this month that inflation could turn negative.
The bank expects inflation to be 0.1% in 2015 as a whole, rising to 1.5% in 2016 and 1.7% in 2017.
The ECB is spending €60bn (£44bn) on asset purchases, under its programme known as Quantitative Easing (QE), every month for the next year in an attempt to boost prices.
Despite some growth and inflation in the first half of the year there are signs the recovery is losing its impetus.
Some economists fear the slowdown in the Chinese economy could seriously damage the European and US economy.
On Wednesday the Bank of Spain said that it expected economic growth there to slow from 1% to 0.8% in the third quarter, and that the recovery in the jobs market had tailed off over the summer.
The prospect of deflation and a slowing economy increases pressure on the ECB to increase QE or carry it beyond September next year.
Timo del Carpio, European economist at RBC Capital Markets, said: "The [ECB's] governing council will look to cement expectations over the continuation of its asset purchase programmes beyond their nominal end-date of September 2016.
"However, it may not be until the December meeting... that the governing council is prepared to make such a judgement."
After the news the euro weakened against the dollar to $1.1209 from $1.1252 on Tuesday, a fall of 0.35%. | Deflation returned to the countries that use the euro in September as prices fell at an annual rate of 0.1%. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Officers were called to reports of an altercation between two men on Shakespeare Avenue in the town at about 01:50 on Sunday.
The injured man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The suspect was believed to have been carrying a weapon. He was described as wearing a black hooded top and black trousers.
Detective Constable Bruce Fyfe from Clydebank CID said: "Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding how this man came about his injuries.
"Officers are currently examining CCTV footage to try and trace the suspect and I would ask anyone who saw a man matching the description in the area around the time of the incident to get in touch."
He suffered a heart attack in Daytona Beach in Florida where he was due to play a concert on Wednesday evening.
He followed his father in the music business as a teenager, and later became his father's musical director and conductor.
He was famously kidnapped and held for ransom when he was 19.
A gang seized him at gunpoint at a casino in Lake Tahoe. His father paid a $240,000 (£168,000) ransom, which was later recovered after the kidnappers were arrested.
When he died on Wednesday, Frank Junior was due to perform at the Peabody Auditorium as part of his Sinatra Sings Sinatra tour, which included some of his father's greatest hits interwoven with family reminiscences.
The venue announced on its Facebook page: "Frank Sinatra Jr has passed away. Our love to his family and friends."
His sister Nancy, who also followed their father into the music business, said on her Facebook page: "Sleep warm, Frankie."
Tony Bennett wrote on Twitter: "I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Frank Sinatra Jr and send my sympathy to Tina and Nancy and the Sinatra family."
TV and radio host Larry King tweeted: "I always admired Frank Sinatra Jr. He was born with a hard name to live up to, but I loved his talent and his ability to be forthright."
Frank Sinatra Jr released six full-length albums and often made television appearances, recently starring as himself in two episodes of Family Guy.
Seth MacFarlane, who created the animated comedy, wrote: "Frank Sinatra, Jr. was a friend to Family Guy, and a friend to me. I'm saddened at his passing, but grateful to have known him."
Mia Farrow said: "RIP Frank Sinatra Jr. Thoughts with his mother Nancy, sisters Nancy and Tina and his son Michael."
Frank Sinatra Jr began singing with the Tommy Dorsey band, a version of the ensemble the elder Sinatra had sung with more than two decades before, at the age of 19.
The New York Times wrote in 1963: "Young Mr Sinatra has taken careful note of every aspect of his father's singing.
"He knows - and projects - the inflections, the shading, the phrasing that his father used."
Last year, he performed the national anthem at Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees games in celebration of the centennial of his father's birth.
Frank Senior died of a heart attack in 1998.
The incident happened on Neath Road, Tonna, at about 03:30 GMT on Tuesday.
Four people were injured in the one-vehicle crash and taken to Morriston Hospital, Swansea.
A 15-year-old girl is serious but stable after being transferred to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Mr Carson, 28, was shot in the head by a gang of men who burst into his family home in Walmer Street, in the south of the city, last Thursday night.
Francis Gerard Smith, from Springfield Road, Belfast, has been charged with possessing a rifle and 50 rounds of ammunition in suspicious circumstances.
Mr Smith was remanded in custody.
Two other west Belfast men have already been charged with murdering Mr Carson.
The murder accused - 37-year-old Michael Smyth, from Ardmonagh Gardens, and 32-year-old David Smyth, from Monagh Drive - were remanded in custody at Belfast Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Appearing before the same court on Wednesday, 39-year-old Francis Gerard Smith acknowledged supporters in the courtroom with a thumbs-up signal.
An investigating detective told the judge she could connect him to the weapons charges.
A defence solicitor put no questions to the officer and made no application for bail.
The judge remanded Francis Smith in custody until 30 March. | A man has appeared in court accused of having a rifle and ammunition in a case linked to the shotgun murder of Stephen Carson in Belfast last week. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Two UN peacekeepers from Guinea and a civilian contractor were killed in the attack in Kidal, officials said.
Eight days ago, gunmen attacked a hotel in the capital, Bamako, taking scores hostage. Twenty-two people were killed.
The peacekeeping mission in Mali was approved in 2014 after France led a military campaign to drive out Islamist militants from the north.
The Minusma force comprises some 10,000 soldiers from dozens of different contributor countries - the majority from Mali's west African neighbours.
World's most dangerous peacekeeping mission
The UN mission - criticised by some at the time of its approval because there is no peace deal to support - has suffered more casualties than any other in recent years, with 56 troops killed.
Islamist militants are suspected of being behind Saturday's attack, in which 14 people were injured, several seriously, reports suggest.
"Our camp in Kidal was attacked early this morning by terrorists using rockets," said an official from the Minusma force.
Militancy in Mali
The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) has removed it from the Google Play store and is advising existing users to find alternatives.
South Korea mandated in April that all children's phones must be monitored.
However, the regulator said the decision to suspend the app had been made prior to the release of a damning report about its security.
The KCC told news agency AP that the decision had been made because of the abundance of free apps now available.
Smart Sheriff had been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times inside the country and was created by a group of telecoms companies known as the Korean Mobile Internet Business Association (Moiba).
Two reports issued, one by the University of Toronto and the other by software auditing firm Cure53, described Smart Sheriff's security as "catastrophic".
The report authors found that children's personal details were not stored securely and that the parental filters applied were easy to disable.
"Smart Sheriff is the kind of babysitter that leaves the doors unlocked and throws a party where everyone is invited," said independent researcher Colin Anderson, who worked on the report, at the time.
Moiba said the vulnerabilities had already been fixed by the time the report was published.
The measure, which was passed by a wide margin, now goes to the Senate where it is expected to be approved.
It would make Uruguay the second Latin American country after Argentina to allow gay marriages.
Same-sex marriages are legal in Mexico City, while civil unions are recognised in several countries in the region.
After a long debate, Uruguayan deputies voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday night to approve the Marriage Equality Law.
"This is not a homosexual or gay marriage law. It is a measure to equalise the institution independent of the sex of the couple," said Julio Bango, one of the bill's authors.
The bill now goes to the Senate where President Jose Mujica's governing coalition has a majority.
In recent years, Uruguay has moved to allow same-sex civil unions, adoption by gay couples, and to allow gay members of the armed forces.
Uruguay's neighbour Argentina legalised gay marriage in 2010. Same-sex marriages have been legal in Mexico City since 2009.
In a recent decision Mexico's Supreme Court overturned a law in the state of Oaxaca that banned gay marriage.
The ruling could pave the way to legalisation across Mexico, according to legal experts.
In May, Brazil's Supreme Court voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals.
It happened at about 07:30 GMT on Thursday when a car crashed into the wall of St Eithne's primary school on the Springtown Road.
Police arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of driving while unfit and dangerous driving.
An 18-year-old man was arrested for taking a car without consent, driving while unfit and criminal damage.
SDLP councillor Shauna Cusack said: "It is extremely fortunate that school was out and there were no children on their way to class or this could have been so much worse.

Summarize the provided information. | The event pitched university teams from Glasgow and Edinburgh against each other.
Eight races took place, including beginners, alumni and senior men and women.
The first team men's and women's races were won by Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively.
But the University of Edinburgh came out as overall victors of the event, having won more points over the eight races.
The Clyde has hosted the race for 139 years - a length of time only predated by the Oxford and Cambridge boat race and the Yale-Harvard Regatta.
Calum Irvine, who captained the winning University of Edinburgh's men's team, said: "The Scottish boat race is a real hidden gem in Scotland's sporting calendar and the crowds are getting bigger and bigger each year.
"It's great to see so many new faces down at this year's race to make it the best yet.
"It was a hard fought race with Glasgow and a few blade clashes at the start which shows just how tough it was. It was the best Glasgow team we've come up against, a truly fantastic race."
Women's team winning captain, Claire Aitken of Glasgow, said: "We're absolutely ecstatic to have won. This year's was the best yet and the amazing atmosphere really helps to spur the crews on.
"The Edinburgh crew were extremely difficult to beat and the conditions were really choppy as we knew it would be, but we kept calm and it's great to come out on top." | The Scottish Boat Race - one of the oldest such races in the world - has been held on the River Clyde in Glasgow. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | In the capital Port-au-Prince, Francois Hollande said France would spend $145m (??93m) on development projects.
It is the first official visit by a French head of state since Haiti won independence in 1804.
The Caribbean country was forced to pay millions of gold francs to compensate slave owners.
"We can't change history, but we can change the future," President Hollande said on Tuesday.
He added that French investments in development projects - including education - should be seen as an appropriate effort for "a moral debt that exists".
Mr Hollande's visit provoked small-scale protests with demonstrators demanding France pay damages for its legacy in Haiti.
Meanwhile, Haitian President Michel Martelly said: "No negotiation, no compensation can repair the wounds of history that still mark us today.
"Haiti has not forgotten, but Haiti is not stubborn," he added, referring to the debate in Haiti about whether the country can rebuild relations with its former colonial power without demanding reparations.
By declaring independence in 1804, Haiti became the first black republic in the world.
But France demanded that Haiti pay damages and compensation to slave holders for the lost of their profits. Paris warned the new regime that it would face invasion and a return to slavery.
Known as the "independence debt" it was later reduced to 90 million gold francs ($18.9bn; ??12bn) which Haiti continued to pay into the 1940s.
In 2004 during Haiti's bicentenary celebrations, the then Haitian President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, demanded compensation from France.
Last year, the 15-member Caribbean Community announced a 10-point plan for seeking reparations from France and other slave-holding European nations on behalf of Haiti and other former colonies.
French administrations have acknowledged the historic wrong of slavery in Haiti and other former colonies but have avoided any real discussion over whether they would return the "independence debt".
But in 2010 after Haiti's devastating earthquake, the then French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, spoke about the "wounds of colonisation" and during his administration, France cancelled all of Haiti's $77m debt.
On Sunday, Mr Hollande acknowledged his country's historic role in the Atlantic slave trade as he helped inaugurate a $93m slavery memorial in Guadeloupe.
The incident happened shortly after midnight on Saturday at Tawe lock gates at the city's marina.
South Wales Police said they would review the situation on Sunday to decide whether to resume searching.
A rescue team from Mumbles coastguard and a helicopter from RAF St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, have been involved in water and land searches with police. | The French president has pledged investment to Haiti, but steered clear of the reparations some in the former colony are demanding from Paris.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The General Lifestyle Survey found in that time the proportion owning a house with a mortgage fell from 40% to 35%.
In 1972 - just after the survey began - 37% of households had central heating. It had risen to 92% by 2000.
Other findings suggest the proportion of one-parent families tripled since 1971 but it has been steady since 1998.
While the number of people renting increased in 2011 to 15%, the proportion of people renting was usually nearer 20% in the 1970s.
The ONS said the housing market in Britain had suffered since the start of the recession in 2008, with a smaller percentage of new households successfully acquiring mortgages.
This is reflected in the decrease in the number of households owning with a mortgage and also in the increase in the number of households renting their accommodation, it said.
The proportion of households renting privately fell by almost two-thirds between 1971 (20%) and 1991 (7%), then remained between 9% and 11% until 2008.
The ONS said 7,960 households in Great Britain took part in its lifestyle survey for 2011, and it had conducted about 15,000 interviews with adults aged 16 or over.
The survey also found 92% of families with dependent children were headed by a married or cohabiting couple, compared with 78% in 2011.
The proportion of adults living alone almost doubled between 1973 and 2011, from 9% to 16%, while the average household size has become smaller over the 40 years between 1971 and 2011.
The proportion of women who have never married is 43%, up from 18% in 1979.
In 1971, the average household size was 2.91 persons and by 2011 the average size was 2.35 persons. The fall, said the ONS, was most rapid between 1971 and 1991.
It also said the fall in average household size was due to an increase in the proportion of one-person households, which almost doubled between 1971 and 1998 (rising from 17% of households in 1971 to 29% in 1998) and has remained similar since.
Other findings include: | The proportion of people renting from private landlords in Britain rose from 10% to 15% between 2008 and 2011, the Office for National Statistics says. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | The pilgrims face new safety measures, including tighter security and ID bracelets, in a bid to prevent a repeat of last year's disaster.
But tens of thousands of Shia Iranians are absent because of long-running tensions with Sunni Saudi Arabia.
The pilgrimage is among the largest religious gatherings in the world.
Following preliminary rituals at the Grand Mosque in Mecca earlier this week, the pilgrims will on Saturday make their way by bus, train or on foot in soaring temperatures of 40C to Mina, about 5km (three miles) to the east.
They are making the same journey as the Prophet Muhammad did about 1,400 years ago.
Saturday is the first day of the Hajj and is traditionally the time when pilgrims will water their animals and replenish water supplies.
On Sunday they will travel to Mount Arafat, several kilometres away, for what will be the main part of the pilgrimage.
A vast expanse of white fireproof tents has been pitched at Mina, to accommodate in excess of 2.5 million pilgrims.
The stampede in Mina last September is considered to be the worst disaster in Hajj history. It took place as pilgrims - many of them Iranians - were going to the Jamarat Bridge for a stoning ritual.
The ritual will start on Monday this year, officials say.
Saudi Arabia has consistently downplayed the number of casualties. It has announced an investigation but no conclusions have been released.
Iran is not sending any pilgrims this year, after it and Saudi Arabia failed to reach agreement over Hajj arrangements amid a diplomatic row.
Iran believes the Saudis are not doing enough to secure the safety of the pilgrims, while the Saudis accuse Iran of making unreasonable demands.
The two countries do not have diplomatic relations and are at loggerheads over a series of regional issues including the conflicts in Yemen and Syria.
The BBC's Sally Nabil in Saudi Arabia says that security measures this year are tight, with teams of officers organising the swelling crowds and trying to prevent chaos.
In the event of another crush, electronic bracelets, have been issued to all pilgrims so that they can quickly be identified.
Known as LudoSport, it has gained popularity in the UK since being created in Italy.
While described as a "playful fun sport" instructor Jordan Court wants it to become an Olympic sport.
He said while it did not have the strict regime of martial arts, students needed to be respectful to each other.
"I would love to think one day people competing in the Olympics with light saber combat once the number of participants have increased," Mr Court said.
"We've opened classes in Cheltenham, Bristol and London - with Birmingham and Cardiff not far behind - and there are plans for Swindon and up north as well.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The plan would extend the current system, which allows parents to share leave and statutory parental pay.
It was announced by Chancellor George Osborne as the Conservative conference began in Manchester.
Labour's Harriet Harman had proposed a similar policy in a manifesto for women.
Mr Osborne's plan involves extending the current system of shared parental leave - which allows a total of 52 weeks off - to cover grandparents as well as a child's mother and father.
Families will also be allowed to split statutory shared parental pay - which is £139.58 a week or 90% of average weekly earnings, whichever is lower.
The Conservatives say the policy will particularly benefit single mothers who, without a partner to share leave with, will now be able to do so with one of their child's grandparents.
Mr Osborne also hopes the option will allow parents to return to work more quickly if they want to.
He said more than half of mothers rely on grandparents for childcare when they first return to work after having a baby.
He said: "Research shows two million grandparents have either given up a job, reduced their hours or taken time off work to look after their grandchildren.
"Allowing them instead to share leave with their children will keep thousands more in the workplace, which is good for our economy." | Working grandparents will be allowed to take time off and share parental leave pay to help care for their grandchildren, the government has said. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Police were called to Frenchman's Way at about 01:00 BST to reports of a man in the street with a handgun.
The man, named locally as James Wilson, was shot once in the chest and taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.
Investigators said a "non-police weapon" had been recovered from the scene.
A witness said she heard Northumbria Police officers shout "put the gun down" before they fired.
The force has referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
A spokesman for the IPCC said: "A 24-year-old man sustained an injury to his chest and is in a critical, but stable condition in the Royal Victoria Infirmary. A non-police weapon has been recovered from the scene.
"Following notification of the incident by Northumbria Police, IPCC investigators travelled to the North East to supervise post incident procedures for the police officers involved as well taking control of the scene of the shooting."
A man who did not give his name said his girlfriend heard police shout "put the gun down", and she heard a bang, which she thought was a firecracker at first.
The man said: "I came out and there were police with guns walking up and down in body armour, like they were securing the area.
"I thought they were looking for a gunman.
"Police were working on the man for about 10 minutes, giving him oxygen. Then they let the ambulance in and after about five minutes they took him to hospital."
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "Armed officers attended and made contact with the man, during which the man was shot by police.
"A section of Frenchman's Way has been cordoned off while inquiries into the incident are carried out." | A 24-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital after being shot by police in South Shields. |
Write a summary for this information. | The Eden Festival has raised concerns in the past about the policing costs at the Raehills Estate near Beattock.
It has now unveiled plans to stage The Lost Disco event in Tisno in August.
However, co-founder Adam Curtis insisted that the two festivals would complement one another and the Scottish event remained their top priority.
"The Eden Festival is very much a community festival - it has been built by more than me," he said.
"It is 300 to 400 of us that do it from the community and that is very hard to transport anywhere.
"The Eden Festival will always remain as our number one key objective."
He said the idea behind the Croatian event was to export one section of the south of Scotland festival.
"For the Lost Disco Festival what we have done is take our most popular stage at the Eden Festival which is the Lost Disco and take it abroad," he said.
"It is almost like taking part of the Eden Festival over the seas." | Music festival organisers have said they are firmly committed to their south of Scotland venue after announcing a "sister" event in Croatia. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | As the Economist described in its rather scathing report of the current situation in the UK: "Britain is sailing into a storm with no-one at the wheel."
The latest news out of the UK - the two credit downgrades from Standard & Poor's and Fitch respectively - have just further underlined the uncertainty about the British economy, especially when they come accompanied with statements like this one from S&P: "This outcome is a seminal event, and will lead to a less predictable, safe and effective policy framework."
In the immediate term of course, expect more market volatility. Investors are clearly nervous in Asian trade, with Japan, Korea and Australia all opening lower on Tuesday morning.
But after the dust settles, who are the winners and losers in Asia?
Emerging market currencies: As the pound falls, investors are rushing to safe haven assets like the Japanese yen and the US dollar. So riskier assets like the Indonesian rupiah and the Malaysian ringgit have fallen.
The dollar's strength also makes it more expensive for emerging markets to pay their dollar-denominated debt back, and their commodity exports, also priced in US dollars, become more expensive overseas.
This has led to some research houses downgrading emerging market growth rates - Nomura for instance has downgraded Malaysia's full year GDP forecast to 3.9% from 4.3% because of Brexit.
Japanese carmakers: Japan's biggest carmakers are among those most exposed to the UK. Shares of the major auto-makers have been hit, with Nissan in particular seen as being most vulnerable. It has a plant in Sunderland - the district that voted to leave the EU by 61% votes to 39%. It was a far higher vote than most exit polls had suggested and took markets by surprise.
Together, Nissan, Toyota and Honda produce about half of all the cars made in the UK each year. Most of the cars they manufacture in the UK are exported, and more than of half of those go to EU nations, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders in the UK.
Depending on what kind of relationship the EU ends up having with the UK, Brexit could mean higher tariffs for British goods - and that would eat into Japanese carmakers' profits. Japanese automakers currently get most of their sales outside of Japan, so coupled with the yen's rise as the pound falls, both sales and profit margins look set to suffer.
Hong Kong shares: It's a no-brainer, shares of HK-listed British financial firms like HSBC, Standard Chartered and Prudential are pressured because of the Brexit fallout. Infrastructure stocks like HK's Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings have also seen sharp falls. Owned by HK billionaire Li Ka-shing, both companies have big investments in the UK.
Mr Li had warned about the impact of a Brexit on the global economy ahead of the referendum.
China: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has said that although Brexit won't stop the Chinese economy from achieving its growth targets this year (but then, nothing ever gets in the way of China's official growth targets!) it has increased the uncertainty in the global economy.
And China's lost a powerful ally in the EU - London was a big backer of China's free trade negotiations with the bloc. But now that the UK has voted itself out, Beijing's negotiations with the EU just got a lot tougher.
For the moment, it is hard to see any immediate winners of the current impasse in the UK - forecasts for economic growth in Asia have been revised downward.
But as a whole, Asia is still likely to post growth rates of around 5% - not too shabby at a time when other parts of the global economy are looking at low, no, or negative growth.
Growth economies: Indonesia, India, and the Philippines have been cited as growth areas to watch - and that's not likely to change even after Brexit. While Nomura has cut the growth expectations of Malaysia, Singapore and HK - it hasn't cut Indonesia and the Philippines by as much.
DBS's David Carbon says this of India: "Much of the heat is likely to be felt by financial markets - rather than the real economy."
The Fed effect: Brexit was already named as a major risk factor in the last US Federal Reserve meeting - and the reason why Janet Yellen held off on raising interest rates.
In the longer term, this indicates a softer global outlook, but in the shorter term, it does give emerging market economies temporary relief from a stronger dollar.
The pound effect - property, tourism: So while a weaker pound will be negative for anyone who earns in sterling, it will make property, holidays and studying in the UK cheaper.
Watch out for Chinese property magnates who may look to snap up assets at weaker prices - and for those of you who have a bit of cash to spend this summer, it may not be a bad time to start looking at holidaying in the UK. Travel agencies have reported a flurry of enquiries from holiday-makers in Asia.
A few research houses have forecast the sterling may settle at around $1.30-1.20 towards the end of the year, so it looks like there may still be some more downside in the pound to come. | If it feels you wake up every day to more bad news, spare a thought for the Brits. |

The first album chart was published in the Record Mirror in July 1956. It listed just five albums, and Frank Sinatra was leader of the (rat) pack.
Songs For Swingin' Lovers was his 10th solo album and is still, arguably, his greatest swing collection.
A challenge to the tide of rock and roll that was sweeping over America, it's a loose concept record about a man who leaves his lover and pursues a new romance.
Backed by Nelson Riddle's fresh, hip arrangements, Sinatra sounded on top of the world - delivering some of his best-known performances on You Make Me Feel So Young and I've Got You Under My Skin.
Given a perfect five-star review by Rolling Stone, it was the UK's number one for three weeks, and the fifth best-selling album of 1956 (number one was the soundtrack to Carousel).
But albums were still niche products. Only 12 million were sold in 1956 - compared to 100.5m in 2012.
It took 15 years for the 100th number one to roll around - thanks mainly to The Beatles, who spent a combined three years in pole position.
But it was John Lennon who scored the chart centenary with his second solo album, Imagine.
A huge commercial success both in 1971 and immediately after his murder, it is less abrasive and more fondly remembered than his debut, Plastic Ono Band.
Every facet of his mercurial personality is on display: He's head-over-heels on Oh Yoko!; vulnerable on Jealous Guy; and venomous on How Do You Sleep? (a thinly-veiled character assassination of Paul McCartney).
But it is the optimistic, simple title track that endures. Lennon confessed it was "anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-Âconventional [and] anti-capitalistic" but "because it is sugar-coated it is accepted".
"It was just what John believed," said Yoko Ono. "That we are all one country, one world, one people. He wanted to get that idea out."
Released in July 1978, Boney M's Nightflight To Venus was the band's most successful record, clinging to the top spot for four weeks.
It contained several global hits, including Brown Girl In The Ring and Rivers Of Babylon - but not, strangely, that year's Christmas number one, Mary's Boy Child.
The band were the brainchild of German pop svengali Frank Farian (later responsible for Milli Vanilli), who reached a creative peak on this wilfully experimental third album.
The seven-minute title track was a freaky space odyssey, which envisaged an interstellar journey to a terraformed planet.
"It took almost 90 years to cool down the planet from its 500 degrees to the current pleasant 75 degrees, and to transform the atmosphere to make it inhabitable for Earth people," noted the narrator, over a pounding drum track based on Cozy Powell's hit Dance With The Devil.
It set the record up to be a space-age disco concept album, but the idea was immediately ditched on track two - Rasputin - a deranged ode to a 19th Century Russian mystic.
Compilation albums were included in the main countdown until 1989, and the Now... series regularly outsold all the competition.
The third instalment was released in July 1984 and contained four number one singles - including Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Duran Duran's The Reflex.
But the tracklisting also provides a few insights into the year's prevailing social issues. Special AKA's Nelson Mandela reflected the increasing disquiet over South Africa's apartheid laws, while Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel delivered a funky anti-drugs message on White Lines (Don't Do It).
Other songs on the 30-strong tracklist included Queen's I Want To Break Free, Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It and The Weather Girls' wedding disco staple It's Raining Men.
The sleeve starred the series' short-lived (and frankly unnecessary) porcine mascot, and exhorted fans to "complete your collection!" by purchasing the two preceding volumes, as well as their VHS and Betamax companions "for all you videoholics".
Thirty years later, and the series is thriving - Now 83 was the fastest-selling album of 2012.
But the most successful instalment was number 44, which kicked off with Britney Spears ...Baby, One More Time, and shifted a remarkable 2.3m copies in 1999.
Selling 400,000 copies in just four days, Wild! was the second in a run of five consecutive number one albums for synthpop duo Erasure.
Despite the titular exclamation mark, it was their most mature record to date, opening with a sombre piano instrumental, and taking melodic flights of fancy on the hit single Blue Savannah.
At the time, frontman Andy Bell was one of the few openly gay pop stars and, while the record addressed gay themes (Drama! is about a "drama queen" who puts his friends through "one psychological drama after another"), the band were careful not to be too outrageous.
"If we did an openly gay video, it wouldn't get played on MTV," Bell told Australia's Countdown magazine in 1990.
"By approaching it the way we approach it - not being too aggressive or shouting at people, just showing them it's part of life but not the only thing in life - it's easy for people to deal with, and maybe there will be fewer people afraid to come out."
One in every 20 chart-toppers is a "best of" album - the first being The Best Of Ball, Barber & Bilk, - a 1962 collection of jazz standards by trumpeter Kenny Ball, trombone player Chris Barber and band leader Acker Bilk.
Deacon Blue's greatest hits reached number one in May 1994, featuring Scot-rock classics like Dignity, Real Gone Kid and their plaintive cover of Burt Bacharach's I'll Never Fall In Love Again.
The band had survived through sudden, head-turning success and the John-and-Yoko romance between frontman Ricky Ross fell and bandmate Lorraine McIntosh. ("Nobody in a band wants the backing singer going out with the lead singer," she admitted to Scotland's Daily Record last year).
But, three weeks after Our Town was released, Deacon Blue announced they were splitting up.
"As George Harrison once said, all things must pass," said Ross.
Now reformed, they released a new album, The Hipsters, in 2012.
During the recording of I've Been Expecting You in spring 1998, producer Guy Chambers kept track of the work in -progress on a whiteboard, hung on the wall of Wheeler End studio in rural Buckinghamshire.
Scrawled along the top in black marker was the legend: "Robbie Williams' difficult second album (which isn't that difficult after all)."
"It's effortless, really," he told a documentary crew who turned up to film the sessions.
An ebullient victory lap after the success of Angels, the album's success was equally effortless - sailing to number one, going 10x platinum and selling more than three million copies.
Williams, at the peak of his fame, was so cocksure he could get away with self-aware lyrics like this, from Strong: "In the early morning when I wake up / I look like Kiss but without the make-up / And that's a good line to take it to the bridge."
Singles No Regrets and She's The One still form part of his live show today. The only real misfire was the leaden, James Bond-sampling Millennium - a cynical ploy for airplay as the year 2000 approached.
In total, Williams has scored 11 number ones - putting him on an even footing with Elvis.
TV talent shows were hitting their stride in 2003, with Will Young, Gareth Gates, Girls Aloud and Liberty X all racking up the hits - but British indie was about to get a much-needed shot in the arm.
Liverpudlians The Coral were among the first out of the gates, blazing a trail for the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Keane and Razorlight.

The band had scored a minor hit the previous year with the jangly, Merseybeat throwback Dreaming Of You, and their second album cemented their success.
Praised by the NME for its "brutally concise and beautiful pop songs", it spawned the top 10 singles Don't Think You're The First and Pass It On.
But the band were taken aback by their swift rise.
"The smell of money's got into everyone," singer James Skelly told the Guardian. "Sony don't have any other good bands, there's just us, so everything's being put on us. I feel like apologising to people in a way, about how in your face everything is."
He needn't have worried. Their chart reign lasted a week, after which Robbie Williams' Escapology claimed the top spot.
Norah Jones reached number one just three years after The Coral, a sign of the music industry's ever-decreasing attention span.
The constant churn at the top of the charts also coincided with a downturn in sales, which were sinking faster than a brick in a swimming pool - from 237m in 2004, to 128m in 2009.
The decline is neatly encapsulated by Norah Jones' triptych of number ones. Her debut, Come Away With Me, sold 2.4m copies in 2003. The follow-up, Feels Like Home, managed 900,000. Not Too Late, released in 2007, scraped in with sales of 100,000.
A deliberate step away from the coffeehouse jazz of her earlier records, it was also Jones's first collection of original material.
She made gentle stabs at politics - lamenting the re-election of President Bush in My Dear Country and portraying the US as a leaky boat in Sinkin' Soon - and, ultimately, the musical experimentation ensured her longevity.
"I don't expect to sell millions of records every time. I just don't think that's gonna be possible," she told CBS news.
"I feel like I've had my cake and I've eaten it and it tasted great. And I don't need another piece."
Oasis set a chart record in 1997 that still stands today, when their third album Be Here Now sold 660,000 copies in seven days - the highest-first week sales in history.
But, as songwriter Noel Gallagher freely admitted in the ensuing years, the bloated, cocaine-fuelled album was not his finest moment.
"Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good," he noted. "Look at Phil Collins."
Time Flies was the band's swansong - a double disc anthology released the year after their acrimonious split backstage in Paris.
Over 27 tracks, it sketched how the band "dragged English guitar music out of the gutter" (Noel's words) with football terrace anthems like Wonderwall and Supersonic.
Oasis celebrate their 20th anniversary next year, but there is little hope of a reunion.
"I don't think there's any unfinished business," Noel said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine this week. "I don't think that we left anything unsaid, do you know what I mean?"
In a neat echo of Frank Sinatra's inaugural chart-topper, Robbie Williams' 1,000th number one is also a swing album.
Packed with razzamatazz renditions of standards like I Wanna Be Like You and Puttin On The Ritz, it easily outsold the competition, including teen troubador Jake Bugg and boyband JLS.
Swings Both Ways is Williams' second stab at the genre, and finds him in a relaxed, playful mood.
Among the covers are six original songs, including the pomposity-puncturing No-One Likes A Fat Pop Star ("When I get faint, I chew through my restraints / The best meal that I've had all week," he sings).
"I'm enjoying working and I couldn't come straight out with another pop album," Williams told Q Magazine.
"I wanted to do something else, and that something else shaped up to be a swing-style album."
The record is Williams' 11th number one - including two greatest hits - putting him on level pegging with Elvis.
Only Madonna (12) and The Beatles (15) have done better.

The trade union regulator will be asked to rule that Unite's recent general secretary election - which Mr McCluskey won by 5,500 votes - was invalid.
The defeated candidate in the contest, Gerard Coyne, says his supporters suffered bullying and intimidation.
A spokeswoman for Unite said its members would be deeply disappointed by the timing of the announcement.
Mr Coyne's complaint is a challenge to one of Labour's most important power brokers days before the general election.
Mr Coyne says he was the victim of repeated harassment and interference by union employees loyal to Mr McCluskey.
Unite employees repeatedly breached guidelines that meant they should have been neutral in the contest to be general secretary, he said.
He told the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4: "The full weight of the union machine was used against me and as this is not North Korea, we are a democratic country and it's a democratic organisation, then I have the opportunity to call out that activity and the use of that machine to an independent arbiter."
The timing of the challenge was dictated by legal requirements, not the general election, he said.
But a Unite spokesman said: "Unite members will be deeply disappointed that Mr Coyne has chosen this critical moment in the fortunes of the labour movement to launch an unnecessary attack on his own union, something which can only help the floundering Tories."
Informing the media first was deplorable, the spokesman added, and Unite was confident the complaint had no merit and the union had conformed with the law.
Mr McCluskey previously said Mr Coyne's campaign amounted to a proxy war against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn run by a cabal of hostile MPs.
He was re-elected to his position with a reduced majority in April.
Coyne was suspended as a regional officer shortly after voting closed in the general secretary election.
He is to lodge a formal complaint with the certification officer, who oversees trade unions. The officer has the power to order elections should be re-run.
Unite is hugely influential within the Labour party, as a major donor with places on the party's National Executive Committee and a key voice in policy making.
Michael Danaher, 50, from Peterborough, denies murdering Adrian Greenwood, claiming he killed him in self-defence.
The 42-year-old was found dead at his Oxford home in April and was allegedly on a list of rich people entitled "Enterprises" on Mr Danaher's computer.
But he told Oxford Crown Court a visitor had used his laptop.
He claimed the "unknown man" searched the internet for information on the addresses of high-profile people, including Gary Lineker and Louise Redknapp.
The prosecution alleges the motive for the killing was the theft of the valuable book, which was found in the defendant's home.
Oliver Saxby QC said Mr Danaher had a spreadsheet that listed "people of means" such as Kate Moss and Jeffrey Archer, who he intended to steal from or kidnap.
It had details of valuables, weapons and family members of his planned victims, with a stun gun listed in many cases. A stun gun was found in Mr Danaher's flat by police.

Write a brief summary of the document. | Heavy machinery rolls along rails to the strange music of beeps and sirens. Further from the shore, 20m-high stacking cranes choreographed by computers load and unload lorries . And all this comes with a minimum of visible human effort.
Welcome to the 21st Century container port.
This is London Gateway on the River Thames in Thurrock, Essex. It's owned by Dubai-based DP World.
Britain's newest container port - it's less than two years old - uses the latest technology to make its operations as efficient as possible.
In the control room, banks of computer screens could place you in any generic open-plan administrative office.
But the hard hats dotted about hint that this is somewhat different.
Closer inspection of some of the screens reveals charts containing numerous charcoal blocks - graphic representations of the metal containers that are the staple of the global freight trade.
"From here we plan, control, monitor and execute all the container movements", says operations manager Ivan Deosdad i Lopez.
"It's like a very complicated game of Tetris."
Tetris is a maddeningly addictive computer game involving the arrangement of coloured blocks. This is why London Gateway actively seeks job applications from gamers.
After all, the controls of a quay crane are not too dissimilar to a game console.
These quayside cranes are huge, roughly equivalent to the London Eye in height with their booms up. And they can move four containers on or off a ship at once.
Each container is identified by an optical character recognition system that reads a unique identifying code - a combination of four letters and seven numbers. This helps track the containers as they move around the world.
The 6m or 12m long metal containers can carry anything from car parts to clothing, perishables to periscopes - in short, a vast array of goods demanded by industry or consumers.
Southampton's port - also owned by DP World - offers customers "live terminal data" giving them the ability to track cargo "from ship to shore", while the UK's busiest container port at Felixstowe has just commissioned two new track-mounted gantry cranes to increase cargo volumes by rail.
While a lot of the port operations are automated, people are still required. Yet the workforce is a far cry from the nearly all-male ports of old.
"Around 1-in-10 of the terminal operatives is female, which I guess is pretty impressive for the port industry," says Lucy Golding, a terminal operative.
Her duties include driving tractors to move containers within the port. She also happens to have a Masters in History from the University of Amsterdam.
Elsewhere on the site, a former beautician from Basildon retrained to become a crane driver.
Of course, it wasn't always like this. Manual handling of loads on and off barges under sail occurred within living memory.
"We used to carry fishmeal which used to stink to the high earth," recalls 71-year-old Suffolk skipper Gordon 'Willie' Williamson. He's now master of the 1909 Thames sailing barge, Ardwina.
"Some barges used to carry what they called hoof and horn to take to the glue factory, which was the bones and hoofs of animals."
Holds that had carried such odorous cargo required fumigation before they could transport foodstuffs again, he says.
In the Museum of London Docklands, historian Alex Werner goes back even further.
"At the beginning of the 19th Century and right through to the early 20th Century the most common form of shipment unit was the barrel."
Although we now associate barrels principally with wines and spirits, in those days they would also carry dry goods, he explains.
Global trade has moved into the digital world and ports are using the latest technology to help them attract new trade from Asia and the Far East.
Ships calling at London Gateway take in countries such as India, Argentina, Morocco, the Caribbean, and South Africa - it's like some vast never-ending version of London's Circle Line.
The quicker ports can move containers between train, truck and ship, and the more reliably they can keep tabs on them in port and in transit, the better it is for importers and exporters.
Buyers are increasingly expecting next-day delivery of goods.
"The internet has had a dramatic effect on the way that retailers operate," observes Xavier Woodward, the port's communications manager. "We have a large modern port directly connected to what will become Europe's largest logistics space for retailers."
Technology is helping to make our hugely complex global trading system as efficient and seamless as possible.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Govanhill Baths has been awarded £500,000 for repair and refurbishment work by new heritage body Historic Environment Scotland (HES).
Last month, the site was awarded £1.2m in initial support by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The venue, which closed in 2001 despite a local campaign to save it, reopened in 2013 as a community hub.
It is run by Govanhill Baths Community Trust, which plans to reopen two pools, a Turkish suite, theatre venue and an arts space.
Govanhill is one of five projects which are sharing a total of £1.7m in building repair grants from HES.
The others include the former Dumbarton Academy and Burgh Hall, which will receive £500,000 for refurbishment.
Built in 1865 and designed by renowned Scottish architect William Leiper, the Category A listed building will be used as the new West Dunbartonshire Council headquarters.
Other grants:
The repair grants are part of a wider commitment by HES to invest about £14m annually in the historic environment, through initiatives such as conservation area regeneration schemes and archaeological excavations and surveys.
HES chairwoman Jane Ryder said: "These five grant recipients are a fine example of that collaboration working in practice, where the building owners are drawing on finance and expertise from us, as well as working with partners - which usually include local authorities, community groups, and other investment bodies - in order to bring these important historic buildings back into reuse.
"The scheme isn't just about repairing old buildings which have fallen into disrepair though: the end use of each of these projects is something which will greatly benefit the communities living around it."
HES is the new lead public body for the country's historic environment, having brought together Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland.
The Sikorsky S-70 was carrying senior military officers and members of their families, among them several children.
It came down in hilly terrain in Giresun province near the Black Sea. No cause of the crash has been given but the weather was poor at the time.
The passengers were reportedly flying to Eid celebrations in Giresun.
"Seven of our companions in arms, their wives and children have lost their lives," the army chief of staff said in a statement, without giving details of the fatalities.
A brigadier general and two colonels were among the passengers, Turkish media said.
The incident took place at about 17:15 local time (14:15 GMT) near Tohumluk village in the Alucra district of Giresun province, the army said.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters the accident resulted "purely from poor weather conditions".

The local authority has been led by a coalition of Liberal Democrats and Independents since 2013.
One contest, in Bodmin St Petroc, has been delayed following the death of Liberal Democrat councillor Steve Rogerson.
The Council of the Isles of Scilly has also been electing 16 councillors.
He told reporters it was "possible" he could name someone by Friday, before he leaves for his first foreign trip.
Defence lawyer Alice Fisher was the first candidate interviewed at the justice department, US media report.
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and a few others are also expected to meet Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein on Saturday.
But about 11 people in all are reportedly being considered for the position, which requires confirmation in the Senate.
President Trump has faced a backlash for sacking Mr Comey, who had been investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election.
He told reporters travelling with him on Air Force One that he wanted to move quickly to find a new FBI director.
"I think the process is going to move quickly because almost all of them are very well-known, they've been vetted over their lifetime essentially," he said.
Fox News quoted a government source as saying they were moving "quickly and expeditiously" to find a replacement, adding: "We're doing our due diligence - we are not going to cut any corners."
One of those being interviewed is Republican Senator John Cornyn, the second highest-ranking member of the Senate and a former Texas Attorney General.
Mr McCabe was the FBI's deputy director until he stepped up after the abrupt departure of his boss. He appeared to contradict the White House this week when he described the inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the US election as "a highly significant investigation".
He also cast doubt on White House claims that Mr Comey had lost the confidence of FBI staff.
Ms Fisher was an assistant attorney general for the justice department's criminal division. She currently works at a law firm.
The other candidate widely named in the US press is New York Appeals Court Judge Michael Garcia, a former New York prosecutor.
Although reports initially said just those four candidates were on Saturday's interview list, the Associated Press now says that Adam Lee, the head of the FBI's office in Richmond, Virginia, turned up at the justice department as a candidate.
Meanwhile, President Trump is facing growing questions about whether he secretly recorded his conversations with Mr Comey after he appeared to tweet a thinly veiled threat to the former FBI director.
He said Mr Comey "better hope there are no tapes" of their conversations at a private White House dinner in January during which the president claims Mr Comey assured him he was not being investigated over alleged links to Russia.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump said that he did not want to discuss the matter and that all he wanted was for Mr Comey to be honest.
He previously told NBC News that Mr Comey had requested the one-on-one dinner, but the former FBI director reportedly maintains it was the president who invited him.
Mr Comey had said he was "uneasy" before the dinner, according to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
On Friday, the White House denied reports that President Trump had also asked Mr Comey to pledge loyalty to him, and that he responded he would offer the president honesty, but not loyalty.
Mr Trump travelled on Saturday to Virginia to speak at Liberty University, an evangelical Christian institution founded by the late conservative televangelist Jerry Falwell.
The US president enjoys an approval rating from white evangelical protestants that is nearly double his approval rating with the general public, according to the Pew Research Center.
He did not mention the controversy around Mr Comey in his speech to graduates, though he did exhort students to challenge the establishment and "relish the opportunity to be an outsider".
Mr Trump's behaviour in recent days regarding Mr Comey has provoked fresh comparisons between his administration and that of disgraced President Richard Nixon, who famously recorded conversations, speeding his downfall during the Watergate scandal.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The President-elect said he would advise car firms "not to waste their time and money" by building factories in Mexico.
If BMW sold cars into the US they would have to pay 35% tax, he added.
Mr Trump's comments were seen in Germany as a threat to all car firms.
BMW shares fell by 1.5% in Frankfurt, VW was down 1.8% and Mercedes Benz owner Daimler dropped 1.6%.
Mr Trump told German newspaper Bild: "If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA you will pay 35% tax.
"I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the US without a 35% tax then you can forget that," he added.
German economy minister Sigmar Gabriel said that rather than trying to penalise German carmakers, the US should instead build better and more desirable vehicles.
Imposing tariffs would make the American car industry "worse, weaker and more expensive", he added.
Meanwhile, Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, used a newspaper interview to attack the President-elect.
"Whoever wants growth, and I trust this administration [Mr Trump's] will be a growth-friendly one, must be in favour of open markets," he told the the Wall Street Journal.
"Protectionism can afford short-term advantages, but is almost always damaging in the long term," he added.
BMW and Mercedes-Benz already have sizeable factories in the US where they build sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for export to Asia and Europe.
But both companies, as well as VW, have factories in Mexico, where labour costs are far lower.
Last year, BMW started building a plant at San Luis Potosi where it plans to produce 150,000 3 Series vehicles a year from 2019.
BMW said it would not change its plans: "The production is aimed at the world market. Therefore the plant in Mexico will complement ... the production plants in Germany and China.''
VW started production last year at a $1.3bn factory near Puebla, and next year Daimler plans to start making Mercedes-Benz vehicles at a $1bn plant it shares with Renault-Nissan in Aguascalientes.
Earlier this month, Mr Trump tweeted that Toyota would face hefty tariffs on cars built in Mexico for the US market if it builds Corollas south of the border.
He said the Japanese company would be hit with a "big border tax" if the plan went ahead.
American car companies have faced harsh criticism from Mr Trump for building cars more cheaply outside the US.
Ford has said it will cancel a $1.6bn (£1.3bn) plant it planned to build in Mexico and instead extend operations at its factory in Michigan.
The US car giant will spend $700m on expanding the plant at Flat Rock. | Shares in German carmakers BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler have fallen after Donald Trump warned that cars built in Mexico would be taxed at 35% if they were exported to the US. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | Mae'r darlledwyr eisiau symud i safle newydd yn y dref - adeilad Yr Egin.
Ond mae'r datblygwyr, Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant nawr yn gofyn am £6m gan Lywodraeth Cymru er mwyn helpu i ariannu'r cynllun.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y brifysgol bod y cais am arian ar gyfer "cefnogi isadeiledd ar gyfer creu cwmnïau, cyfleoedd economaidd a diwylliannol newydd".
Dywedodd Mr Jones ddydd Gwener: "Dwi'n cofio, pan gafodd hyn ei drafod gyda mi, y rheswm y cafodd Caerfyrddin ei ddewis oedd na fyddai yna gost i'r pwrs cyhoeddus.
"Nawr, wrth gwrs, mae'r sefyllfa wedi newid.

"Mae hynny wedi newid."

Mae'r datganiad hefyd yn dweud y bydd yr arian ar gyfer adeiladu Yr Egin yn dod o'r PCDDS, blaendaliad rent gan S4C a chais grant gan y Brifysgol.
Ychwanega'r llefarydd: "Ond ar wahân i flaendaliad rent S4C, mater i PCDDS yw ariannu, adeiladu a rhedeg yr Egin.

Can you summarize this content? | The leader of the Liberal-National coalition needs to win 76 out of 150 lower house seats to form a ruling majority.
With about half the votes counted, results suggest a very close contest.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten said the close result was a vindication of his Labor Party's policies.
Labor has improved strongly on its 2013 election result of 55 lower house seats.
"There is one thing for sure - the Labor Party is back," he said.
All 150 seats in Australia's lower house, the House of Representatives, are up for grabs at the election, as are 76 seats in Australia's upper house, the Senate.
It is the first time in decades that all the seats in both houses have been up for election.
The double-dissolution election, as it is known, was called by Mr Turnbull in an attempt to break a deadlock over industrial relations legislation.

The massive scale of Australia's election
Who's who in Australia's 2016 federal elections?
It was thought the result of the UK's referendum on the EU would benefit Mr Turnbull, who assured voters that he could deliver "economic certainty".
The former lawyer and investment banker vowed to deliver tax cuts for workers and small businesses.
Addressing supporters, Malcolm Turnbull tried to make tonight sound like a victory. But at best his Conservative coalition lost ground.
He said he was confident he would be able to form a majority government but he acknowledged the result was so close it could be days before we know the outcome.
Meanwhile, Labor Party Leader Bill Shorten was sounding upbeat telling his supporters Labor was back, even though he will most likely end up defeated.
Australia has had five prime ministers in the past six years. Mr Turnbull may have narrowly avoided adding to that tally but if he does turn out to be victorious this was hardly a ringing endorsement.
They came wearing red T-shirts emblazoned with "We'll put people first" and "Proud to be Labor". Their hopes of an outright victory have been dashed, but they are buoyant.
The faithful arrived at the Moonee Valley Racing Club in Bill Shorten's constituency of Maribyrnong, hoping to witness election history by unseating a first-term government for the first time in more than 80 years.
For a while it was neck-and-neck. Labor loyalists, many enjoying beer, wine and party pies, turned up the volume.
But then there was a gradual realisation that an overall win was beyond them as Labor's momentum stalled.
Could there possibly be a fresh election if neither Labor nor the Liberal-National coalition can attract enough votes to form a government?
This will be part of the rich political theatre of the coming days and weeks.
Voting is compulsory in Australia and uses the alternative vote system where voters rank candidates in order of preference.
But so far results suggest that Australians voted in large numbers for independents and minor parties.
Senator Nick Xenophon's newly formed political party, the Nick Xenophon Team, took the lower house South Australian seat of Mayo, formerly a safe Liberal seat.
Mr Xenophon is expected to be returned to the Senate and his party may gain additional upper house seats, particularly in South Australia.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has polled strongly in Queensland and although it has not won a lower house seat, its preferences have tended to flow to the opposition Labor Party.
Ms Hanson, who gained notoriety for her anti-immigration views in the 1990s, told the Nine Network that, based on early results, she was likely to secure two spots in the Senate.
The government and the Labor opposition sparred during the campaign over the economy, healthcare, immigration and same-sex marriage.
Mr Shorten's claims that the government intended to dismantle Australia's public health system, Medicare, was widely credited with creating a late swing to Labor. | Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says he is confident he can form a government after Saturday's election, but results are still too close to call. |
What is the summary of the document provided? | The vote was announced at the advertising agency's annual general meeting in Dublin, but is not binding.
It comes after a number of shareholder advisory bodies urged members to vote against the deal.
WPP is the latest firm to suffer investor discontent over executive pay.
The voting result so far is based on the postal votes of WPP's large institutional shareholders.
Small shareholders attending the AGM in person are now voting at present, but this will have only a very limited effect on the final result.
By Jim FitzpatrickBBC NI economics and business editor
Sir Martin Sorrell upped the ante in the debate over his pay by publicly defending it on the basis that his performance merited such a generous package.
So the annual meeting took place in the context of this huge row with the company's shareholders.
But in Dublin's Convention Centre you would have been forgiven for missing this context had you not read the financial press in recent days.
In his presentation Sir Martin never once mentioned the "P" issue, but did a not-so-subtle job of justifying his pay nonetheless with a convincing argument about WPP's performance.
There were no fireworks from the floor. The only shareholder to ask a question politely inquired if the board had simply ignored warnings from last year's shareholder vote.
The answer from the man who authorised the pay rise suggested an element of contrition - the board promised to keep in continuous engagement with shareholders going forward.
The message from shareholders was received. There's no backtracking but it appears the board will try to avoid a similar row next year.
Shareholder advisory body Pirc was one organisation that urged members to vote against the deal, citing concerns over its "excessiveness".
Pirc and other bodies highlighted the fact that Sir Martin's pay package was 60% higher than a year earlier.
The BBC's Northern Ireland business correspondent, Jim Fitzpatrick, who was at WPP's AGM, said its shareholders had "delivered a message".
He added: "The company justified their remuneration policies but struck a contrite note by promising a more 'continuous' engagement with shareholders."
Louise Rouse, director of engagement at investment campaigner FairPensions, who also attended the meeting, said: "It is difficult to know whether the WPP board underestimated the level of shareholder anger or simply chose to ignore it."
However, WPP's chairman Philip Lader, told the AGM that the company took the remuneration report vote "very seriously".
He added: "We'll consult with many share owners and will then move forward in the best interests of our share owners and our business."
However, BBC business editor Robert Peston believes WPP's board may need to take more drastic action to restore good relations with shareholders: "Normally in these embarrassing circumstances, someone senior would resign from the board, to bring about a structural improvement in the relationship with the owners."
By Robert PestonBusiness editor
But he thinks that Sir Martin is unlikely to go: "Presumably it will have to be one or both of the individuals who set his pay, Mr Rosen and Mr Lader."
Ahead of the AGM, Sir Martin had defended his pay deal, which comprises a £1.3m salary, a £2m annual bonus and £3m in deferred shares and other benefits.
Sir Martin, who founded WPP in 1985, pointed to the company's £1bn record profit last year, and said he found the controversy over his compensation "deeply disturbing".
Writing in the Financial Times last week Sir Martin said: "WPP has a very independently-minded board and compensation committee, which makes decisions that they believe are in the long-term interests of the company and its shareholders, of which I am one.
"The board's compensation decisions are right because they reward performance, not failure, reject options in favour of a long-term incentive scheme with co-investment and five-year performance periods, and are competitively fair against our big US and French competitors, which we consistently outperform."
Others companies who have also recently faced shareholder rebellions include Aviva, Trinity Mirror and AstraZeneca - all of whom announced the departures of their chief executives as a result of investor pressure. | WPP shareholders have voted against the company's executive pay report, which includes a £6.8m deal for chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell, by a majority of 59.5%. |
Summarize the following piece. | The vote is a run-off between left-wing Lenin Moreno, who is backed by President Correa, and conservative Guillermo Lasso.
Mr Moreno is ahead in the latest opinion poll.
But with 16% of voters saying they are undecided, the result is hard to call.
Mr Moreno won the first round, and an opinion poll released last week put him on 52.4%, next to Mr Lasso's 47.6%.
Voting is mandatory in Ecuador and the winner will take office on 24 May.
President Correa cast his vote in the capital Quito. He has campaigned for Mr Moreno, his former vice-president.
Lenin Moreno:
Guillermo Lasso:
When he was first elected in 2007, Mr Correa was one of a group of left-wing leaders in power in Latin America, including Argentina's Nestor Kirchner, Bolivia's Evo Morales, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Cuba's Raul Castro, Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
A decade on, Argentina and Brazil are led by conservative presidents, Venezuela is in political turmoil, and Evo Morales is on his last term after Bolivians rejected a proposal to change the constitution to allow him to run again.
The election winner will also decide on the fate of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has being living in the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012.
President Correa gave him asylum so he could avoid extradition to Sweden, where he was wanted for questioning over a sex allegation, which he denies.
Mr Assange feared he would end up being sent to the US, where he is wanted for leaking state secrets.
Mr Lasso has said he will kick Julian Assange out of the embassy within 30 days if he wins.
Mr Moreno said he would let him stay as long as he refrained from releasing material on "friendly" countries.
Mr Correa's leftist Alianza PAIS (Country Alliance) party has thrown its weight behind Mr Moreno.
Christian-Socialist politician Cynthia Viteri, who was eliminated in the first round in February, has urged her voters to get behind Mr Lasso.
Despite having been a key figure in Mr Correa's cabinet between 2007-2013, Mr Moreno has sought to differentiate himself from the outgoing leader.
Observers say he is less confrontational than Mr Correa and they suspect he may try to jettison some aspects of his predecessor's socialist policies.
Mr Lasso is running for the Creando Oportunidades (Creating Opportunities) party.
He previously ran against Mr Correa in 2013.
Rafael Correa was elected in 2007 on a promise of bringing radical social and political reforms to Ecuador.
He increased government spending on social programmes and looked to diversify Ecuador's trade and political relationships.
He forged close ties with the left-wing regional group Alba, which includes Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela among others.
He also moved Ecuador much closer economically to China, which is now one of the country's major creditors and trade partners.
Mr Correa has been credited with reducing poverty until 2014, when the oil price slump hit government revenue and its ability to finance poverty reduction programmes.
But recent corruption scandals and Mr Correa's frequent clashes with the media have produced some disillusionment.
One poll suggests 70% of Ecuadoreans want "important changes" to be made.
Economic recovery is likely to be a top priority for Ecuador. The oil-exporting country has suffered from a drop in international oil prices and has seen its GDP contract 1.7% in 2016.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Peter Ball, 83, was sentenced to 32 months for misconduct in public office and 15 months for indecent assaults, to run concurrently.
The former Bishop of Lewes and Bishop of Gloucester used "religion as a cloak" to carry out the abuse between the 1970s and 1990s, the court heard.
The Church of England said there were "no excuses".
Before Ball was sentenced, the Old Bailey heard a member of the Royal Family and other establishment figures backed Ball while he tried to avoid charges of sexually abusing young aspiring priests in the early 1990s.
Bobbie Cheema QC, prosecuting, said during the investigation police received 2,000 letters of support for the bishop, including backing from a royal figure and cabinet ministers.
Ball was cautioned for one act of gross indecency in 1993 against 16-year-old trainee monk Neil Todd and resigned, but was allowed to work in churches until 2010.
"I should make it clear that it is impossible to say whether those letters were encouraged and it is unlikely that those who wrote were in possession of the full facts," Ms Cheema added.
A statement released by Clarence House after the hearing said: "The Prince of Wales made no intervention in the judicial process on behalf of Peter Ball."
Sentencing Ball, Mr Justice Wilkie, said the retired bishop was man who did "so much good and so much harm".
He told the disgraced clergyman he used his position of authority to "persuade selected individuals to commit or submit to acts of physical or sexual debasement under the guise of being part of their austere regime of devotion when they were not".
"What you did was the antithesis of what was expected of someone holding your office."
Ms Cheema said Ball was "highly regarded as a Godly man who had a special affinity with young people".
She added: "The truth was that he used those 15 years in the position of bishop to identify, groom and exploit sensitive and vulnerable young men who came within his orbit.
"For him, religion was a cloak behind which he hid in order to satisfy his sexual interest in those who trusted him."
Victims of the retired bishop described him as a sadistic predator who groomed, controlled and abused them.
Ball, of Langport in Somerset, was Bishop of Lewes between 1977 and 1992 and Bishop of Gloucester from 1992 until his resignation the following year.
Last month he admitted offences against 18 teenagers and young men in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. He was also ordered to be placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years.
Det Ch Insp Carwyn Hughes, of Sussex Police, said the force's investigation uncovered "systematic offending" by Ball whose principal aim was "to satisfy his sexual interest in and desire for young men".
Following the sentencing, the Bishop of Durham, the Rt Rev Paul Butler, said "the systematic abuse of trust perpetrated" by Ball was a "matter of deep shame and regret".
"We apologise unreservedly to those survivors of Peter Ball's abuse and pay tribute to their bravery in coming forward and also the long wait for justice that they have endured."
"We also remember Neil Todd, whose bravery in 1992 enabled others to come forward but who took his own life before Peter Ball's conviction or sentencing."
The Church of England has commissioned an independent review into the way it responded to sex offence allegations against the bishop.
The Archbishop of Canterbury in 1993, George Carey - now Lord Carey - said he greatly regretted that during his tenure the church "dealt inadequately with Peter Ball's victims and gave too much credence to his protestations".
He added: "Allegations that my actions amounted to a cover-up or collusion with the abuser are wrong. I have always insisted upon the highest standards of holiness of life from all who are ordained.
"But it is undoubtedly the case that in the years since the allegations came to light, the Church of England has needed to put into place much better procedures, as have all public institutions in society, to ensure that victims receive justice speedily and properly."
He said in the past the church had "failed many victims" but he hoped it was now a safer place for the young and vulnerable.
The Right Reverend Mark Sowerby, Bishop of Horsham, expressed "abhorrence and deep regret at Peter Ball's behaviour" and said it had been a "key priority to support many of those" who had given evidence against him. | A retired Church of England bishop has been jailed for a string of offences against teenagers and young men. |

The hard-earned victory saw Wayne Pivac's men move up to third while Ulster, who began the weekend at the top, slip back to fourth after claiming a losing bonus point and falling to only their second home league loss this season.
The Welsh side are now level on points with Leinster, and two behind leaders Connacht.
The opening exchanges looked ominous for Ulster as they conceded the opening try inside the first five minutes.
A loose pass by Darren Cave proved costly and the home defence was caught outnumbered as Collins got through to score.
Thomas missed the conversion but soon added a penalty to stretch the visitors' lead.
Paddy Jackson, leading Ulster for the first time, put the hosts on the board with a drop goal.
Then home winger Gilroy scored a sparkling try, running from deep in his own half and gathering his own kick ahead. Jackson's conversion made it 10-8.
However, Scarlets regained the lead when Ulster's defence found themselves sucked in, giving their opponents the numbers out wide for Collins to dot down his second.
The game's momentum continued to see-saw as Ulster bagged a 17-15 interval advantage - centre Luke Marshall just managing to touch down in the corner. After video confirmation, Jackson landed a fine touchline conversion.
But Scarlets took a 21-17 lead through two Thomas penalties, the second following a yellow card for Ulster flanker Chris Henry.
A Jackson penalty set up a close finish but was Ulster's only score of the second half.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Network Rail has announced 31 projects in the city over the next five years including the electrification of the line between Bristol and London.
Doubling the track has been described as "fundamental" to the expansion of services in and around Bristol.
It will also allow for extra high speed trains between Bristol and London.
New platforms
"Reinstating the four lines between Temple Meads and Parkway is the arterial route around which the rest of the Bristol growing railway is going to be hung," said Mike Gallop, Network Rail's Route Asset Director.
The new tracks will be built on Filton Bank, making it possible for local passenger services to use the line.
"It's a very significant first step but it is a first step," said Rob Dixon from the campaign group Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways.
"Without this investment there can be no improvements in local services - things like the reopening of the line to Portishead, the Henbury Loop, improvements on the Severn Beach line and from Weston to Yate - which all need extra capacity and without that they just couldn't run. So these changes are a first step to what we want and need to see."
Charlotte Leslie, Conservative MP for Bristol North West, has campaigned for the reopening of the Henbury Loop.
"The four-tracking of Filton Bank is the basic infrastructure which makes other things possible," said Ms Leslie.
"But what I'd like to see is more ambition in getting Henbury station and Henbury Loop and our network of rail around the city open faster because Bristol is growing and our transport infrastructure isn't keeping up."
The package also includes building new platforms at Bristol Parkway and upgrading Bristol Temple Meads station.
Richard Bird started his sideline a year ago after one of his customers told him that some of the picture coins in circulation were worth more than their face value.
He saves the rare coins and builds them into sets, which he then trades with other coin enthusiasts.
Mr Bird, 29, described his collecting as a "crazy obsession".
More on this and other Hull stories
"I've gone a bit mad with it all," he said.
"Trying to sell £2 coins for £10 and £20 and everyone thought I was crazy but it is possible."
He has handed out leaflets to shops, ice cream van owners and taxi and bus drivers, "basically anybody who gets change".
He even travels to seaside amusement arcades to get money from change machines.
In the beginning he would get bags of change from banks, but now they have said they would charge him due to the amount of coins he was taking out.
"I was going from one bank to the other and changing £500 in one go," he said.
"I would spend hours sorting through the coins looking for valuable ones, then take the rest to another bank to change."
The most valuable item in his collection is a £1 coin with two dates on.
Known in the trade as an "error coin", it could fetch up to £3,000.
He has had the coin verified as genuine by the Royal Mint in south Wales.
According to Mr Bird, other coins worth looking out for include the Kew Gardens 50p, which is worth up to £100, and the £1 city coins, which feature Belfast, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff and can sell for £25 for a set of four.
Mr Bird said he is now considering selling his window cleaning round and concentrating on coin trading.
"My ideal would be to open a coin shop somewhere in Hull."
Agnes Reeves Taylor, who was married to Charles Taylor, is to appear in court in London on Saturday.
Ms Reeves Taylor, 51, faces charges related to alleged crimes committed during the first Liberian civil war, between 1989 and 1991.
Some 250,000 people are believed to have been killed in the wars, which ended in 2003.
Ms Reeves Taylor, of east London, has not commented on the charges, three of which relate to alleged torture which is said to have taken place at Gbarnga, Liberia - the headquarters of Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front during the conflict.
Taylor became president of Liberia following a peace agreement in 1997.

The campus will occupy half of the middle floor of a three-storey former council building.
It is due to open in September with an application to change the layout going before the council in April.
The University of Bedfordshire, which already has campuses in Luton, Bedford and Aylesbury, has developed the project with Milton Keynes Council.
It said it has put about £12.1m into the scheme with the council, contributing approximately £12m from sale of assets.
It said UCMK is set to offer full and part-time higher education courses and has already registered students from Milton Keynes College.
As well as a "core academic programme" of engineering, there will also be undergraduate degrees in journalism, psychology and criminology.
University of Bedfordshire vice chancellor, Bill Rammell called it "an exciting new chapter" for both the university and the town which delivered on "long-held local ambitions".
He said: "UCMK will be home and international, student and employer, and teaching and research."
Milton Keynes Council leader Andrew Geary said the campus would be a "major boost" for the town.
"It has been a long term ambition to offer face to face degree-level teaching to our growing communities, without the need for people to travel elsewhere," he said.
"As well as "homegrown talent" we also want to attract international students, which is also good news for the local economy as it will help to put Milton Keynes on the global map."

He defeated incumbent Dr Alasdair McDonnell in a vote at the party's annual conference in Armagh by 172 votes to 133.
Mr Eastwood became the joint-youngest ever person to lead one of Stormont's five main parties.
The 32-year-old went from councillor in Derry to party leader in just 10 years.
However, he now faces an even bigger challenge - to unite and grow the party to challenge Sinn Féin.
Mr Eastwood joined the SDLP in 1998, citing the Good Friday Agreement and leadership of John Hume as the inspiration.
In 2005, he was elected to Derry City Council and five years later, aged 27, became Derry's youngest ever mayor.
It was not long before Mr Eastwood moved from the mayor's office to Stormont - he was elected as an MLA for Foyle in 2011.
His rising reputation had not gone unnoticed and four months after the election he was nominated to stand as the SDLP's deputy party leader.
However, citing a desire to focus on constituency issues, Mr Eastwood turned the nomination down.
Four years later, and with more experience as an MLA, he announced his intention to stand against Dr McDonnell.
He said that the challenge was "not personal" against the current leader, but that politics needed "a new generation".
"I'm fed up losing," he told supporters when he launched his bid for the leadership last September.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Killeavy Castle was sold at auction for £1.19m in March. It was bought by an Australian couple who have strong links to the Killeavy area of south Armagh.
They have appointed architects to design a 36-bedroom hotel close to the castle and to restore the 19th century listed building "to its former glory".
They said it could create 85 jobs.
The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, are hoping to apply for planning permission for the project early next year.
The castle has not been occupied for more than 10 years and was sold in a poor state of repair.
The 330-acre estate backs onto the slopes of Slieve Gullion and includes a farm and woodland.
In a statement, the new owners said: "Our vision is for Killeavy Castle and Demesne to be restored to its former glory, within a financially viable hospitality and agriculture business, so that it can be maintained and be available for use by the public for many years into the future."
It is understood there are plans to incorporate the two-storey castle into a new wedding venue.
The couple have appointed a design team which is being led by Newry-based architects P O'Hagan and Associates.
The owners said the team also includes "conservation surveyors, hotel and hospitality consultants, quantity surveyors, landscape architects, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, arboricultural and transport consultants".
"As you can imagine the plans for the site are still developing and are at an early stage," their statement added.
"We think we know what will be successful, but the team is working with various statutory bodies, including Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Invest NI and Newry and Mourne District Council, to refine the plans and ensure a sustainable development for Killeavy Castle and Demesne."
The couple have strong family ties to the area as the man's parents both grew up within four miles of the castle, before emigrating to Australia in the 1960s.
The owners said they have been regular visitors to south Armagh over the last 30 years and have lots of family and friends living in the area.
Killeavy Castle started life as a country farm house, built in a gothic style by the Foxall family between 1810 and 1820.
In 1836, Powell Foxall commissioned the Dublin-based architect George Papworth to extend the building, adding four stone towers, outbuildings and Tudor-style windows.
The extended 4,000 sq ft house then became known as Killeavy Castle.
By 1881, the castle was the home of the Bell family, who owned it until recently.

The European Union said earlier this year that its 28 member states could adopt their own positions on the issue.
Each regional assembly within the UK is making its own decision.
While no GM crops are being grown commercially in the UK, imported GM commodities, especially soya, are being used mainly for animal feed, and to a lesser extent in some food products.
Mr Durkan said the relatively small size of farms in Northern Ireland could create "potential difficulties if we were to seek to keep GM and non-GM crops separate".
He said the costs of maintaining separateness could be expensive and impractical.
"Further, we are rightly proud of our natural environment and rich biodiversity," he said.
"We are perceived internationally to have a clean and green image. I am concerned that the growing of GM crops, which I acknowledge is controversial, could potentially damage that image."
The minister is responsible for all matters relating to the release of GM material into the environment, including the growth of GM crops.
Scotland banned GM crops in August.
Wales is maintaining what it describes as "a restrictive and precautionary approach to GM crop cultivation".
In England, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has said it will only allow GM crops to be planted and the marketing of GM food or feed products if a "robust risk assessment indicates that it is safe for people and the environment".
It says each proposal would be looked at on a case-by-case basis, with an emphasis on the scientific evidence.
Eighteen million farmers in 28 countries grow GM crops on 181 million hectares, which is 13% of the world's arable land.
The main producers are the USA, Brazil and Argentina, and the leading GM crops are soya and maize.
Before GM crops can be grown in the EU, they have to be authorised. So far 48 genetically modified organisms have been licensed for potential use in animal feed in the EU.
A manhunt was launched for Jed Allen, 21, after he was suspected of killing his half-sister Derrin Jordon, aged six, his mother Janet Jordon, 48, and her partner Philip Howard, 44.
They were found stabbed to death in Vicarage Road, Didcot on Saturday.
Allen's body was found in a wooded area of Oxford on Monday.
It is yet to be formally identified, but police are satisfied it is that of Allen.
Post-mortem examination results into the deaths of his half-sister, his mother and her partner are expected to be released on Wednesday.
Dates have yet to be set for the opening of the inquests, the coroner's office confirmed.
The search for Allen ended on Monday after a body was found off Marston Ferry Road in Oxford around 17:00 BST.
Police confirmed the 21-year-old was their prime suspect after officers discovered the bodies of Ms Jordon, Mr Howard and Derrin at 20:20 BST on Saturday.
More than 100 police, including specialist search officers, were deployed to search Oxford University Parks where Allen worked as a groundsman.
Detectives believed he had arrived in Oxford by train from Didcot at 17:45 on Saturday.

The RNLI said both lifeboats from Falmouth attended and crews performed CPR on the man.
It is thought the 56-year-old had been lying in the water for some time and he was airlifted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro.

Lucy Alexander, from Worcester, wrote an open letter appealing for "children to be kind ALWAYS and never stand by and leave bullying unreported".
She said her son Felix, 17, was subjected to "cruel and overwhelming" taunts on social media since he was 10, which eventually became unbearable.
The sixth form student was hit by a train on 27 April.
Her plea came at about the same time the mother of Asad Khan, an 11-year-old boy from Bradford who was found hanged, pleaded for anyone who knew about him being bullied to come forward.

In a letter published in the Worcester News, Ms Alexander said: "His confidence and self-esteem had been eroded over a long period of time by the bullying behaviour he experienced in secondary education.
"People who had never even met Felix were abusing him over social media and he found that he was unable to make and keep friends."
Family charity BullyingUK has given advice on how children and young people can help if they see someone being bullied.
"If you tell a teacher what has happened then the bully shouldn't find out that you've done that," said the charity. "The teacher should be able to quietly alert other teachers and keep an eye on the situation so that the bully is caught red handed and has only themselves to blame."
An inquest heard he made friends at Pershore High School, where the staff described him as bright and kind, after facing difficulties at his previous school.
"He was, however, so badly damaged by the abuse, isolation and unkindness he had experienced that he was unable to see just how many people truly cared for him," wrote Ms Alexander.
"I write this letter not for sympathy, but because there are so many more children like Felix who are struggling and we need to wake up to the cruel world we are living in.
"Be that one person prepared to stand up to unkindness. You will never regret being a good friend," she wrote.
Ms Alexander's family are raising money for Place2Be; a charity that offers counselling to young people.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Scotland left-back Robertson, 23, joins on what the Reds describe as a "long-term contract" for a fee which could rise to £10m.
Midfielder Stewart, 23, signs a three-year deal with the Championship club.
Robertson said: "It feels a bit surreal. There are not more special clubs than Liverpool."
The defender joined Hull from Dundee United for £2.85m in 2014 and made 39 appearances last season as the Tigers were relegated from the Premier League.
He added: "When you grow up as a kid you dream of playing with big clubs such as Liverpool and to make that a reality is a dream come true for me.
"I just want to prove to people that I can do it at this level, and hopefully I manage to do that this season and do good things for this club."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp added: "For Andrew, this is another big step on what has been a quite incredible personal journey in a very short space of time.
"I know our environment will benefit him and help him push himself even more than he has already. This is a player who does not limit his ambition."
United will receive about £600,000 from the deal - paid over the next two or three years - as a sell-on clause for a player they signed from amateur club Queen's Park in 2013.
Robertson is Liverpool's third summer signing following the arrival of Roma winger Mohamed Salah and Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke.
Eight other Premier League sides, as well as PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon, were reportedly interested in the left-back.
Having played as an amateur in Scotland's fourth tier as recently as 2013, a move to Liverpool tops a rapid rise for Robertson.
Within nine months of moving from Queen's Park in Scottish League Two to Premiership side Dundee United, Robertson made his Scotland debut as a 19-year-old.
He was voted PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year in his only season at Tannadice - scoring five goals in 44 games - before moving to Hull.
Robertson became a regular for the Tigers - making 115 appearances in three seasons. He has twice suffered relegation from the Premier League, but also won promotion via the play-offs in 2016.
Former Tottenham player Stewart made 20 appearances for Liverpool, including 11 in the Premier League, and has played for Crewe, Cheltenham, Burton and Swindon on loan.
Stewart could make his first Hull appearance in Saturday's friendly against Benfica.
"I'm delighted to sign for the club. I can't wait to get started and get my boots on," he said.
"It's an exciting move for me and I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Mitzi's coffin was painted in the style of a scene from the Disney movie Frozen.
White flowers spelling out her name accompanied the coffin and the song Do You Want to Build a Snowman? was sung by Melody Makers - the abbey's choir for children aged from six to 11.

"You were just becoming a young girl. So smart, so open and free.
"I want to come home to you throwing yourself at me again. I want to give you your special milk on your cereal and ask 'what shall we do today?'"

Speaking ahead of the service her family asked for donations be made to the road safety charity Brake instead of flowers.

Philip Chism, 14, was charged on Wednesday as an adult over the death of Colleen Ritzer, 24, whose body was found in woods behind the school.
The Boston Globe reports that school CCTV cameras showed the accused pushing a recycling bin through the building.
It is not known if Ritzer's body was inside.
She was found dead in woods behind the school, after being reported missing late on Tuesday.
Danvers High School, in a suburb of Boston, reopened on Thursday for students to speak to counsellors. Classes will resume on Friday.
Officials said Ritzer and the suspect knew each other from the school, but did not elaborate.
Gardner Trask, chairman of the Danvers Board of Selectmen, told the Associated Press news agency the killing is a "devastating blow" to the close-knit town.
On Wednesday evening the Boston Red Sox held a moment of silence for Ritzer before the first game of the World Series, America's professional baseball championship.
And hundreds of people attended a candlelit vigil at the school's car park, wearing pink clothes or bows in tribute to Ritzer's favourite colour.
Ritzer reportedly lived in her family home with her younger brother and sister.
Her family said they were mourning the death of their "amazing, beautiful daughter and sister".
"Everyone that knew and loved Colleen knew of her passion for teaching and how she mentored each and every one of her students," the family said in a statement.
Ritzer was said to be friendly towards the school's students, many of whom were not much younger than her.
Her Twitter biography describes the maths teacher as "often too excited about the topics I'm teaching". She used the account to set homework for students.
The suspect's family and lawyer have not spoken to reporters.
The accused had moved to Massachusetts from the state of Tennessee before the start of the school year.
He was said to be a star player on the school soccer team. One student, Kyle Cahill, told the Associated Press the suspect's absence had been noted at a team dinner on Tuesday night.
"We're all just a family. It just amazes me really," said Kyle. "He wasn't violent at all. He was really the opposite of aggressive."

The League One side sealed the lucrative game with a stoppage-time 2-1 victory against Queen of the South.
So, what do we know about the part-time side from Coatbridge, managed by former Aberdeen midfielder Darren Young?
Jock Stein made his Albion Rovers debut as a trialist against Celtic in a 4-4 draw in 1942. He combined his playing role while working as a coal miner.
Stein, the first British manager to lift the European Cup, was with the club for eight years before moving to Llanelli Town.
Back on 9 March 2014 Albion Rovers were drawn to play Rangers in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox.
Rovers had already seen off Premiership side Motherwell earlier in the competition, Gary Phillips scoring in a 1-0 victory.
On 14 minutes Ciaran Donnelly stunned the home crowd as Rovers took the lead and for a while it looked like they might hold on for another famous win.
But Bilel Moshni levelled in the 78th minute and Rangers won the replay 2-0, with Fraser Aird and Jon Daly on target at New Douglas Park.
Albion Rovers hail [or should that be hail, hail?] from the town of Coatbridge which not only has one of the largest St Patrick's Day parades in the world, it also has more than 10 Celtic supporters' clubs.
Safe to say, it makes life a bit difficult for Rovers when it comes to attracting fans with so many following Brendan Rodgers' side.
Still, they struggle on. It will be fascinating to see how this manifests itself when the teams come face to face - expect to see plenty of those 50-50 scarves on sale.
Cliftonhill Stadium reeks of the very soul of Scottish football. An epic, dilapidated bowl of a ground that once ushered in tens of the thousands - nowadays crowds are in the hundreds.

On fan safety grounds and in the interests of making as much money from ticket sales, this match will in all likelihood be moved to either New Douglas Park - home to Hamilton Academical - or Motherwell's Fir Park.
There are a few hoops [apologies] to jump through for all this to happen - talks with the police, the clubs, the SFA will all need to take place - but it looks all but certain that poor old Cliftonhill will be dark and empty on the weekend of 21/22 January.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Nice may have been caught off-guard when Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's lorry ploughed into a crowd on Bastille Day. But city officials cannot be accused of having been oblivious to the militant danger.
Even before the Paris attacks of January 2015 served as a national wake-up call, they had mobilised to counter what many saw as a looming threat.
As far back as the mid-2000s, a Nice-based group of psychoanalysts and academics called Entr'Autres (Among Others) noticed a trend towards cultural separation and rejection of French values in immigrant areas.
Catherine Chavepeyre-Luccioni, a city councillor and teacher in a deprived area of Nice for 35 years, says she noticed long ago that such attitudes had become particularly strong among the young.
"In the old days," she says, "the mothers of my pupils were modern women. They never wore veils. Now the children do. The mothers wear veils as well, and tell me it's because their sons demand it."
By 2012, says Brigitte Erbibou of Entr'Autres, a sense of identity based on grievance had become common. "People were talking about conspiracies, the 'American-Zionist axis', she says. "They were openly taking anti-Semitic, anti-Western positions."
Over the next two years, it became clear that the region had become a leading provider of jihadists - to date, 10% of French people who have gone to fight in Syria were from there.
Officials in Nice and the wider Alpes-Maritimes area took notice, and after the Paris attacks that killed 17 people in January 2015, they began watching the local situation closely.
A "radicalisation unit" for the region has been set up, bringing together teachers, social workers and security experts. They meet every week to report on and investigate any sign of trouble.
The mayor of Nice set up a 24/7 help line for families worried about fundamentalism. A dedicated team of counsellors was on hand offering psychological and legal help well before the Nice attack.
Earlier this year, when city officials were told that some football clubs had organised collective prayers, the mayor threatened to cut funding for those that did not respect a "secularism charter". The city also organises seminars for educators and grassroots workers.
One of the most forceful speakers against radicalism in the region is Abdelghani Merah.
He is the brother of Mohammed Merah, a petty criminal from Toulouse who killed seven people during attacks on soldiers and Jewish schoolchildren in March 2012, before being shot dead by police.
Mohammed Merah was the first home-grown jihadist to strike on French soil, and is still revered in radical circles around the country.
His elder brother Abdelghani, 39, says his aim is to redeem the family name by working with Entr'Autres to warn youngsters about the dangers of radical ideology.
"I want to smash the image of Mohammed Merah, who many youths consider as a superhero and a defender of Islam," he says.
"I am particularly useful when I talk to schoolchildren who are in danger of becoming radicalised and to mothers whose kids are being indoctrinated or have gone to Syria."
Abdelghani's main message is that France, far from being a land of miscreants bent on crushing Muslims, "is beautiful and has beautiful values".
Religious leaders too play a critical role in the programme. One of them is Boubekeur Bekri, a no-nonsense imam in a housing estate sprawled along a motorway in north-east Nice, and vice-president of the regional Muslim council.
Around the time of the Merah affair in 2012, he noticed signs of radicalisation gaining ground in his impoverished neighbourhood. He has been doing his best to break the jihadist spell, but admits that his record is mixed.
Mr Bekri says he once lectured two brothers whom a mother had referred to him. "I told them that radicalisation was anti-Islamic, but unfortunately it did not work," he says. Two months later the pair were found with tickets for Syria, and promptly arrested.
But on another occasion, the imam says, a would-be jihadist was reconciled with his family after he had a word or two with him.
The challenge in trying to wean troubled youths off radicalism, Mr Bekri adds, is that it confers "religious virginity" on young offenders. They are easily convinced that they are doing God's work when they steal from infidels.
This redemption is all the more tempting when it provides an aura girls find attractive, Mr Bekri says. "You become Prince Charming."
While radicalisation often feeds on male dreams of military glory, for girls it typically involves fantasies of romance and humanitarian work.
Imene Ouissi, a 22-year-old student from an estate in Vallauris, recalls that two years ago a young man from eastern France approached her on Facebook.
Noting disapprovingly that she was not wearing a veil, he proposed to set her on the path of virtue by marrying her and taking her to Syria, where she would do good works.
Her life was not here among miscreants but in the land of the faithful, he insisted. She must do everything to get to the hereafter.
"Finding true love and is a feminine yearning," Ms Ouissi says. "Those youths have found ways to draw them into their circles through marriage. If I had been weak and had not been trying to understand true religion, I might have fallen for it."
Social networks and new media make people more receptive to the jihadist message, but actual recruitment still mostly thrives on old-fashioned personal contacts.
Nice was the home of France's most talented scout for al-Qaeda - Omar Omsen, a Senegalese-born militant who took 40 local youths to Syria, before fleeing there for good three years ago.
And according to one academic study, the areas of Alpes-Maritimes that have seen the highest numbers of departures for jihad are those that saw a large influx of former Algerian militants who moved to France after the civil war of the 1990s.
It would be wrong to conclude that alienated youths from immigrant suburbs are the only people at risk of radicalisation.
"There is no typical profile," says Ms Erbibou. "They come from all backgrounds."
The mother of a middle-class girl living in an upmarket part of Nice described how her daughter - "Carole"- suddenly changed at the age of 13.
"She was a quiet, dutiful girl and an excellent pupil until she started mixing with troubled children from her school."
Carole told her parents they would go to hell if they ate pork. To press her point, she showed them propaganda videos depicting how paradise and hell look like.
"It was like having your child taken away and brainwashed," the mother says. "It sent shivers down our spines. We never thought this would happen to us."
With the help of psychologists from Entr'Autres, Carole, now 16, pulled back from the brink of radicalisation. She has now embraced the tolerant, mainstream version of Islam.
But her mother says her daughter is not completely out of danger: "We are taking nothing for granted. We are vigilant."
The Nice area programme - combining action on the social, psychological, religious and security aspects of the problem - has attracted attention elsewhere in France, and beyond.
But its efficacy is difficult to assess. We will never know about attacks it may have prevented over the years.
And this long-term effort may be powerless against the sort of "rapid radicalisation" Lahouaiej-Bouhlel is said to have gone through.
Kamel, a youth worker in the area, believes that there are bound to be more such acts by freelance attackers. But he is even more worried about the repercussions of this and any subsequent attacks.
"In terms of pure statistics, he says, perpetrators represent a tiny fraction of the local Muslim Arab population," Kamel says. "But many Westerners will see their attacks as a huge setback for the possibility of harmony between Muslims and non-Muslims." | The attack that killed 84 people in the French city of Nice has led to political recriminations and, yet again, probing questions about how to stop people turning to jihad. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Best Buy shares jumped more than 21% after the electronics retailer reported a rise in first-quarter sales.
The chain was the biggest riser on the S&P 500, which climbed 10.68 points, or 0.44% to a record close of 2,415.07.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose .34% to 21,082.95, while the Nasdaq was up 0.69% at a record close of 6,205.26.
The gains mean the markets have more than made up for last week's losses, when rising political tensions in Washington spooked Wall Street.
The quarterly earnings from some of the country's retailers also pointed to a stronger second quarter.
Best Buy said it expects same-store sales in the second-quarter to grow by between 1.5% and 2.5%.
In the first quarter, strong demand for games products helped the company to post a 1.6% rise in sales at stores open for more than a year.
Ulta said it expects its second quarter sales to grow more than 17.5%.
Like other make-up retailers, Utla has been growing, even amid the downturn in retail.
The firm said its same-store sales - which includes online transactions and stores open at least two years - rose 14% in the quarter. Total sales climbed more than 22% year-on-year.
Even Sears saw its shares surge, after the company reported its first quarterly profit for nearly two years.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Labour have claimed the gap between the the number of students from the richest and poorest areas has widened.
The government insisted the number of 18-year-olds from deprived areas going to university was at a record level.
It recently appointed Professor Peter Scott as commissioner for fair access to higher education in Scotland.
His role will be "to support disadvantaged learners and drive change across the system".
The Scottish government has said it wants to see a big rise in the number of people from deprived areas who go to university.
Labour argue that, over the past two years, the gap between the number of students from the richest and poorest areas has actually widened.
The party says that while the number of young people from the most deprived areas going to university has gone up 0.8% since 2014, the number from the least deprived areas rose more than three times as fast.
The Scottish government says the number of 18-year-olds from Scotland's most deprived areas going to university is at a record level - but wants further and faster progress.
Scottish Labour's education spokesman Iain Gray said: "Nicola Sturgeon has promised that every child, regardless of their background, would have an equal chance of going to university.
"But those chances have become less equal while she's been first minister.
"It goes to show that warm words from the SNP aren't enough, closing the attainment gap will take more investment in our schools.
"Labour will continue to make the case for a 50p top rate of tax on those earning more than £150,000 a year to invest in closing the attainment gap in schools across Scotland."
The Scottish government said Ucas figures recorded the highest university entry rate for 18-year-olds from Scotland's 20% most deprived areas.
A spokeswoman said: "In 2006, 18-year-olds from the 20% least-deprived areas were 5.8 times as likely to enter university as those from the 20% most deprived areas, and this has decreased to 3.9 times in 2016.
"It is welcome news this is heading in the right direction, but we are committed to making further and faster progress on fairer access to higher education for all, as the recommendations made by the commission on widening access are implemented."
The spokeswoman added: "Professor Scott's appointment is part of a wider range of work aimed at ensuring that, by 2030, students from the 20% most-deprived communities will represent 20% of entrants to Scottish universities."

Summarize the provided section. | Adam Bojelian, who was blind and had cerebral palsy, won a global audience for his poems published online.
His mother Zoe announced that the 15-year-old had passed away by posting a photo on Twitter with the hashtag #braveadam.
Hundreds of people have posted tributes on Adam's Twitter page.
Adam has previously won a Brit Writers' Award and a Blue Peter Gold Badge for his poetry, which he wrote using special computer software.
I first met Adam Bojelian at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Although cerebral palsy had deprived him of his sight and movement he wasn't letting that get in the way of a question to his favourite author. It was a painstaking process of blinking letters to his mum but Adam was nothing if not determined.
We met again on Twitter where I discovered he was already a published poet. At the age of 11!
If Twitter is sometimes berated as a shallow place of shrill shouting, it was also the window to the world for Adam.
As Ads the Poet, he could communicate quickly and easily.
It revealed a boy with a sense of humour and quick wit.
His "hee hees" were a familiar response as he shared his views and poems and chatted with journalists, MSPs, actors, campaigners and other children.
He was outspoken and passionate. Political when it came to his campaign for mainstream education and care.
Adam was a lovely, gentle genuine voice amid the vacuous din. And one day to my sadness, I realised his voice was no longer there.
He touched so many lives in his 15 short years. Despite his own challenges, he frequently raised money for others.
His final wish was to raise funds for UK Sepsis Trust and his mother Zoe has a donation page set up.
But above all, he raised hope. And never allowed anyone to write him off.
The 20-year-old striker was transferred from Kilmarnock for a fee of about £150,000 in January 2015.
He was sent out on loan at the start of the season by previous manager Jackie McNamara but has not played under Mixu Paatelainen since his December return.
United said in an official statement that they and Muirhead had now "parted company by mutual consent".
Muirhead scored twice in 22 games for Kilmarnock last season and hit the net twice in 13 outings after moving to United.
This season, the Scotland Under-19 cap failed to score in his three outings for the Tannadice club and only found the net twice in eight games on loan to Partick Thistle - both in the same game against Kilmarnock.
United sit eight points behind Kilmarnock at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership with only four games remaining and chairman Stephen Thompson and Paatelainen have promised a shake-up of the club's staff at the end of the season, whichever division they are in.
United could be relegated if Kilmarnock beat Hamilton Academical on Saturday and then the Terrors lose to Dundee.
But defender Mark Durnan insists that Paatelainen's squad still have plenty of spirit ahead of Monday's derby at Dens Park.
"There's a determination because people have to fight for their careers," said the 23-year-old.
"We know we've got a big game on Monday and we are trying to focus on that match.
"There's still four games to go - we are not mathematically relegated.
"Obviously it's not in our hands, but we have to win four games and then rely on other folk."
Durnan, who signed from Championship club Queen of the South, struggled to control his emotions as he contemplated returning there after one season at Tannadice.
"It would obviously be disappointing to come to a big club like this and to see it get relegated," he said.
"I made the step up to test myself, but this season just hasn't been good enough. It's difficult when you know where you are and what position you are in.

Give a brief summary of the content. | It will also be a significant challenge for Baroness Ashton as she seeks to build on recent foreign policy successes to broach critical issues ranging from human rights to Tehran's role in regional conflicts including Syria.
On Saturday morning Iranian newspapers, of a more reformist leaning, welcomed her mission, hailing it as an achievement of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's new approach.
Coverage of her visit, across moderate and hardline media, will underline both the centrality and sensitivity of her role here.
Mrs Ashton has been widely credited with playing a key role in negotiating the landmark interim deal between Iran and world powers last November, which requires Tehran to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for limited relief from sanctions.
Nuclear issues are certain to come up in her meetings since wide gaps still stand in the way of a long-term agreement meant to come into force in July when the interim accord expires.
But the first visit of a senior EU leader since 2008 is primarily a bilateral visit aimed at exploring the potential for a new relationship between Iran and Europe.
"She knows that Iran is about more than the smiling Foreign Minister Javad Zarif with whom she has forged a good working relationship," said one Western diplomat.
Mrs Ashton will need to muster all her diplomatic skills, including what is often called her "softly-softly bridge-building" approach.
Her challenge is to chart a new course between Iran's political factions, as well as European states, which also remain divided over how far and fast this relationship can and should go when mistrust still runs deep, on all sides.
It is understood she is coming to Iran, mainly to listen. But she is expected to urge one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's main allies to play a more active role in ending a devastating conflict.
Iranian and European human rights groups have also been lobbying Mrs Ashton to express concern on issues like Iran's use of the death penalty which led to about 500 hangings last year, mainly for drug offences.
Her visit begins on Saturday evening with a meeting with civil society leaders and ends on Monday with a visit to the city of Isfahan, famed for its stunning Islamic architecture.
Sunday will be spent meeting leaders from across the political spectrum including President Rouhani and his most senior foreign policy and security advisers.
There is vast potential to strengthen the Iran-Europe axis in areas ranging from aid, education, the environment, anti-piracy efforts and technology.
But it can only be tapped if there is real and lasting progress on what is still the central issue for the West - the nuclear file.
Western diplomats say much has been achieved but there is still "a long way to go" to ease doubts that Iran's nuclear programme is entirely for peaceful purposes.
Iranian leaders say suspicion of the West's intentions are also deep-rooted.
Mrs Ashton's visit is meant to send a message to Tehran that there is a lot to gain if they stay the course in building a new relationship with the international community.
As one Western diplomat put it, it must show it does want "to play a greater role in the world, not against the world". | The difficult and delicate process of forging a new relationship between Iran and the West takes another step this weekend with the first visit of Europe's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, to the Islamic Republic. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | The Claim: The two sides in the EU referendum campaign have been accused of peddling "misleading" figures and "implausible assumptions" by a committee of MPs.
Reality Check verdict: There is growing acceptance that both sides could be clearer about the figures they're using to support their arguments.
Its chair, Andrew Tyrie, told BBC News: "What we really need is an end to the arms race of ever more lurid claims and counter-claims made by both sides."
The Reality Check team has been keeping an eye on how both sides have been using numbers throughout the campaign. Here are a few from each side.
Andrew Tyrie cited the claim that the UK sends £350m a week to Brussels and it could be spent on the NHS instead as particularly problematic.
The claim ignores the rebate, which means that amount of money is not sent to Brussels each week. Also, some of the money is returned to the UK to be spent on things like farming subsidies and regional development, and Leave campaigners have not suggested these payments should stop.
The claim, which appears on the Vote Leave bus, has also been criticised repeatedly by the UK Statistics Authority. Its chair, Sir Andrew Dilnot, said on Friday he was "disappointed" the figure was still being used.
You can read the full Reality Check on the £350m claim here. And there is a discussion of why all the money could not be spent on the NHS here.
Another claim criticised was the government's suggestion that leaving the EU could cost your family £4,300.
The committee pointed out that this was confusing GDP per household with household income and expressed disappointment that so much emphasis had been placed on this figure.
You can read Reality Check's take on the £4,300 claim here.
The committee's report also said: "It is misleading to claim, as some campaign groups continue to do, that three million jobs are dependent on EU membership.
The Reality Check team covered the Prime Minister saying this, and also David Milliband using a variation on it.
You can read about Mr Milliband's assertion that 100,000 jobs in the North East are dependent on the EU here.
The committee criticised the claim that the Common Agricultural Policy costs £400 per household per year as being based on out-of-date research.
It also questioned how much of that money could be saved by leaving the EU.
You'll find discussion of the figure as part of this selection of claims made by Boris Johnson.
The committee criticised the Treasury's failure to get its analysis on the short-term consequences of leaving the EU to it in time to include it as part of the report.
It described the delays as "highly unsatisfactory" and inconsistent with commitments made to the committee by the Chancellor.
You can read the Reality Check assessment of the year-long recession claim made by the Treasury here.
The Vote Leave claim that the cost of EU regulations was £33.3bn a year or £600m a week was described in the report as a "tendentious representation of the research on which it is based".
The figure, which came from Open Europe, was an assessment of the cost of complying with the 100 most "burdensome" regulations.
You can read more about the £600m claim on regulation here.
Andrew Tyrie told BBC News that the report had been accepted unanimously by the committee, despite it containing prominent figures from both sides of the debate.
"This is unanimous - they accepted what's in the report," he said.

Britain's most successful gymnast believes Whitlock has the potential to end Team GB's search for a first-ever Olympic gold in the sport.
The last time a British athlete won an Olympic all-around medal was in 1908.
"I 100% believe he can [challenge for major honours]," three-time World champion Tweddle told BBC Sport.
"He's super dedicated, focused, has shown the world what he can do and will go back to training even harder now in these two years before Rio."
Despite a hugely impressive year, which included European pommel horse gold and three Commonwealth titles, Whitlock - who also excels on the floor - endured a "tough" start to the World Championships.
He missed out on qualifying for any individual finals and was subjected to abuse on Twitter.
However, Whitlock was given a reprieve when team-mate Nile Wilson was ruled out of the all-around final - where athletes compete on all six apparatus - due to a wrist injury.
Whitlock's long-term coach Scott Hann believes the gymnast and those around him will have learnt a lot from the struggles he endured.
"With difficult preparations, tiredness and the pressure of expectation from everyone it was just a recipe for disaster," he told BBC Sport.
"He was devastated [after qualification] and tears were shed, but I'm in awe of him because I don't know anyone who could have achieved what he did."
Whitlock admits his body "hadn't full recovered" from the Commonwealths, but impressed himself by finishing just 1.492 points behind his "idol" and five-time World champion Kohei Uchimura of Japan.
"That makes me very proud," he said after coming closer than any previous gymnast to ending Uchimura's hold over the event.
"At the top it's very close and he's just over a mark ahead so it's about perfecting [the routines] and getting them right on the day."
Whitlock's success was important not only for his own confidence but also that of British Gymnastics. He was their sole World medallist in 2014 and, without that reward, the organisation could have suffered a cut in UK Sport funding.
For British Olympian turned BBC Sport commentator Craig Heap, Whitlock must improve on some of his weaker apparatus in order to maintain his current success and even reach new heights.
"If he can increase the difficulty of his rings and high-bar routines, he is a serious contender for an all-around medal in Rio," Heap told BBC Sport.
"What he's achieved though so far will be a massive confidence boost and fuel him for the next two years."
Whitlock and Hann say they have "a plan" of attack for Rio, which could include a revolutionary and "risky" new move on the pommel horse.
However, they will delay making a decision on whether to introduce what is hoped will become known as 'the Whitlock' until nearer 2016.
Whitlock will now take a break from the sport and, while he may return for the start of the World Cup series in November, the British Championships in early 2015 are a more realistic target. | Gymnast Max Whitlock could make British history at the Rio Olympics after winning all-around World silver, according to Beth Tweddle. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The deaths took place over a 56-day operation in which one person was detained, Xinjiang government's web portal Tianshan reported.
It is the first official report of the 18 September incident at the Sogan colliery in Asku that killed 16 people.
Xinjiang, often hit by unrest, is home to a Uighur ethnic minority.
China says "foreign terrorists" are behind the violence in the region. Hundreds of people have died in attacks over the past three years.
Ethnic Uighurs, who are mostly Muslim, say Beijing's repression of their religious and cultural customs is provoking the violence.
"After 56 days of continuous fighting, Xinjiang destroyed a violent terrorist gang directly under the command of a foreign extremist group. Aside from one person who surrendered, 28 thugs were completely annihilated," the Xinjiang Daily said, according to Reuters news agency.
US government-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA) was the first to report the mine attack in September. It said at least 50 people were killed.
Earlier this week, RFA said 17 suspects from three families, including women and children, had been killed in the police operation in response to the mine attack.
China strictly controls media access to Xinjiang so reports are difficult to verify.

The Environment Department has already spent its £77,000 annual budget for coastal defence maintenance.
Minister Roger Domaille said his department did not have the money and had asked the treasury to release it.
He said: "I should imagine they will say yes, if they are to say no I think they may have some problems... we'd have to take the matter to the States."
The Treasury and Resources Department has yet to comment on funding the repairs.
Last year the Environment Department was given £20m to improve coastal defences.
However, Deputy Domaille said this was earmarked to improve defences at three key areas - Belle Greve, the Bridge and Perelle - identified in a report as open to significant coastal flooding so could not be used for the repair work. | Almost £2m is needed to complete repairs to Guernsey's sea defences after damage caused by the winter storms. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | The charity, Blyth Tall Ship, is using £777,200 of Heritage Lottery funding to restore the wooden ketch, Haabet.
It is hoped after a two-year renovation, it will recreate the voyage of Blyth's William Smith, who found the first land in Antarctica.
The Haabet completed its journey to the Port of Blyth on Saturday.
The Haabet, which travelled from Svendborg in Denmark, is of a similar size and design to the merchant brig, Williams.
The Williams, built in Blyth in 1813 and skippered by local Captain William Smith, discovered the first land in Antarctica in 1819, according to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It is hoped the renovated ship will be able to mark the 200th anniversary of the discovery by recreating the original voyage.
Clive Gray, chief executive of Blyth Tall Ship, said: "This is a major step towards recognising Blyth as the launch point of Antarctic discovery and putting Captain William Smith back in his rightful place in history."
The Haabet will also be used as the host ship when Blyth welcomes the Tall Ships regatta in 2016.
A team of 50 young people and volunteers will carry out the vessel's refit.
A big problem is the collapse of exposed peat banks on the mountains.
Some areas are under particular pressure, due to a combination of heavy recreational use, overgrazing, weather and the impact of wildfires.
To address the issue, £300,000 is being spent on restoration projects.
The Mourne Mountains Landscape Partnership has identified key sites and is undertaking conservation work.
Siobhan Thompson is a natural heritage officer with the partnership and said the work is just beginning in time.
"It's at that kind of cutting edge where if you left it, you might not be able to get it back," she said.
Nine sites have been identified where biodegradable material will be used to restore collapsing banks.
Dams made out of a hessian-type material will also be put in to retain water and help the growth of plants which can bind the heath together.
A new path is to be laid which hill walkers will be asked to use, instead of walking on the open heath.
A helicopter was chartered to airlift the materials onto the mountainside.
Work to put them in place will begin immediately.
The Heritage Lottery Fund is providing much of the cash.
Walkers and farmers have been helping conservationists identify problem sites.
Ms Thompson said such people had begun to notice the impact of erosion.
For the first time, MPs have agreed in a vote that we will begin the process of leaving the EU by the end of March.
The government chief whip was seen with a massive grin after tonight's vote.
Remember ministers' climbdown came with a clever kicker, persuading Labour to sign up to their timetable for triggering Article 50 without committing to very much in return - the vague promise of a plan that could be as detailed as the back of the proverbial fag packet.
There's grumpiness on the Labour benches at how it was handled - angry conversations taking place, sources suggest - a sense among some that the front bench allowed themselves to be hoodwinked by the government's cunning plan.
Potential Tory rebels on the Remain side are deeply suspicious of the government's real intentions for giving more information about its ideas for Brexit. They backed off today, but will be back for more, no question.
But beyond the immediate machinations and the chief whip's big grin, two realities are confirmed by the events of the last 24 hours.
Yes - the numbers tonight suggest not very many MPs will actually try to block Brexit, or frustrate the process. They will certainly try to push the government for more details. They will certainly try to amend the proposals that eventually make it to the Commons, whenever that is. That could disrupt and delay things, but trying to stop it happening is not on the agenda of the vast majority.
But what's equally clear is that Theresa May does not have a secure majority on the EU. As soon as her plans (eventually) hit the floor of the House, she's likely to have to compromise.
That is precisely why the government is fighting so hard just across the road in the Supreme Court to try to avoid MPs having a say before the really hard work in Brussels even begins. | A 100-year-old Tall Ship from Denmark is to be restored in Northumberland in the hope of recreating an historic Antarctic adventure.

Write a summary for this information. | The President-elect added that "ISIS is taking credit for the terrible stabbing attack", which left 11 people injured.
An IS-affiliated news agency claimed business student Abdul Razak Ali Artan as a "soldier".
The 18-year-old's mother says he acted normally on the day of the rampage at Ohio State University in Columbus.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Wednesday that investigators had found "no direct link" between Artan and any terrorist organisation.
FBI special agent in charge Angela Byers said separately that Artan may have been inspired by al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a 2011 US drone strike in Yemen.
Artan was a refugee who moved with his family in 2014 to the US from Pakistan, where he had been living since 2007.
US officials have said no negative information was found during background checks on Artan when he was allowed into the US and when he became a legal permanent resident in 2015.
Police say he drove his car at a group of people on the campus as students were returning from the Thanksgiving holiday.
After his vehicle jumped the kerb, he then began attacking them with a "butcher's knife" before being shot dead by a campus police officer.
Mr Trump has vowed as president to institute an "extreme vetting" programme to limit immigration to the US from countries that are believed to be at a heightened risk of terrorism.
He had previously called for a "total and complete shutdown" on Muslim immigration to the US.
Hassan Omar, president of the Somali Community Association in Columbus, Ohio, spoke to Artan's mother, who said he had driven his siblings to school as usual on the day of the attack.
"He woke up and he went to school," Mr Omar said, relaying the conversation that he had with Mrs Artan on Monday afternoon.
She told him that she did not know anything was wrong until police arrived at her house.
Minutes before the rampage, Artan posted to Facebook about "lone wolf attacks".
He said that "we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the Muslims. You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday".
His post also complained about treatment of Muslims around the world.
He warned that some Muslims were in sleeper cells, "waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America!"
But a friend said the attacker "actually loved America".
Ameer Kadar, who last saw Artan two weeks ago, told NBC News: "He loved the fact of the opportunity he had here to go to school.
"He loved the fact that he was able to get a college degree."

Existing drone owners have until 19 February 2016 to register their drones, but a $5 (£3.30) fee will be waived to encourage registration within the first 30 days.
FAA spokesman Les Dorr told the BBC that it would seek to educate, rather than punish, those found to have no registered their drones.
But he added: "For people who simply refuse to register, we do have enforcement tools available."
Those punishments could be civil penalties of up to $27,500, but in severe cases, criminal prosecutions could result in a $250,000 fine and a maximum of three years in prison.
The rule affects drones weighing in at half a pound to 55lb (228g to 22.7kg). Users older than 13 must register themselves, but parents can register on behalf of younger children.
Each drone will be given a unique identification number to be displayed on the device.
On Monday, the FAA promised the process would be "streamlined and user-friendly".
"Make no mistake: unmanned aircraft enthusiast are aviators and with that title comes a great deal of responsibility," US transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement.
"Registration gives us an opportunity to work with these users to operate their unmanned aircraft safely.
"I'm excited to welcome these new aviators into the culture of safety and responsibility that defines American innovation."
Hobby drones. Unmanned aerial vehicles. Remote-controlled copters.
Call them what you will, they're becoming a nuisance.
A minority of irresponsible users has been flying them too close to aeroplanes and helicopters, wandering into restricted military airspace, spying on neighbours; disrupting sporting events and even injuring people.
It was only a matter of time before some trigger-happy vigilante shot one of the pesky privacy invaders out of the sky.
Regulators and law enforcers are struggling to cope with the growth in their popularity, increasing the likelihood that heavy-handed legislation could stifle innovation in a sector that has great commercial potential for businesses large and small.

Regulators had been under pressure to clamp down on what many people, particularly those in the emergency services, consider to be a growing menace - hobbyist drone users flying in unwanted places.
Firefighters in California said drones had disrupted efforts to contain wildfires.
However, some believe the drone database will be ineffective.
"The fact is that for the most part, when there are sightings, they don't actually get to recover the drone itself," Mickey Osterreicher, from the National Press Photographers' Association, told BBC News when consultations began in October.
"So, what would registering the drone accomplish?"
He added that further rules would not prevent bad drone use, drawing comparisons to people who drive cars without a licence or insurance, saying: "You really can't legislate against stupidity."
But other bodies, including the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), have backed the idea and taken an active role in consultations.
The regulations fall some way short of calls to make it legal for emergency services to forcibly disable drones by using electronic jamming.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The children from Rhos Primary, Swansea, were on a trip to The Mumbles, on Tuesday when they went missing.
Police said they were called out and the pupils were reunited with a teacher about 10 minutes later.
School governor Councillor Alex Thomas said: "There is an investigation going on to find out exactly what happened and how it came about."
He said: "This is a concerning incident. I completely understand why parents are worried.
"The school, council and governing body are taking it seriously."
Mr Thomas said he wanted to wait until the investigation had reported back before commenting further.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "Police received a report that a small number of children had wandered off during a school visit to Mumbles on Tuesday afternoon.
"Around 10 minutes after the call was received, the children were reunited with a teacher and no further police action was required."
Manager Pedro Caixinha signed two forwards - Eduardo Herrera and Alfredo Morelos - this summer.
And Waghorn was left on the bench for the weekend draw with Marseille.
"Not only for myself, but for other players maybe on the fringes, it's a chance for everyone to impress," he said of the forthcoming games.
Rangers were left having to organise friendlies ahead of the Scottish Premiership opener against Motherwell on 6 August after a surprise defeat by Progres Niederkorn in their opening Europa League qualifier.
They face Watford behind closed doors on Wednesday then take on Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Sunday.
"These games are important for everyone," said 27-year-old Waghorn, who has a year left of his contract to run.
"We have brought in two strikers and brought in competition right throughout the squad.
"We have games coming up and, when you get your time, you are going to have to utilise it and try to do as best as you can to force your way into the squad.
"For me, it's going to be a big season - I want to do as well as I can for this club and I have a lot to prove."
Waghorn scored 28 goals in his first season at Ibrox after joining from Wigan Athletic in 2015.
However, veteran Kenny Miller was regularly preferred to the Englishman by Caixinha after the Portuguese replaced Mark Warburton in March.

Write a summary of this document. | It is the first big deal of new Fifa President Gianni Infantino's reign, and the first since the scandals that engulfed the organisation.
Wanda Group operates in a number of sectors including property, retail, sport, hotels, film and stores.
It has entered at the highest level of sponsorship rights and the deal covers the next four World Cups until 2030.
The financial size of the partnership has not been revealed, but it is believed to be one of the biggest in Fifa's history.
Fifa's top five sponsors - Coca Cola, Gazprom, Adidas, Visa, Hyundai - paid some $180m to the governing body between them in 2015.
Although Wanda is the first Chinese firm to enter at this top level, another Chinese firm, Yingli Solar - a solar panel provider - was a second-tier Fifa sponsor of the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
One of the companies Wanda owns is InFront Media, a sports marketing firm which owns the media rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups across 26 Asian territories.
The agreement is another sign of the growing importance of football in China - with government backing, major expansion and investment in the game at home, and a number of overseas clubs being bought by Chinese businesses.
Dalian Wanda has a 20% stake in Spanish La Liga football team Atletico Madrid, while fellow Chinese company CMC took a 13% stake in the parent group of Manchester City last December.
"We are pleased to welcome the Wanda Group to Fifa," said Mr Infantino.
He added that it was "a company that has a long affiliation with football, has been an active supporter of the game for many years and shares our enthusiasm to develop and strengthen football".
Wanda Group will have rights to all Fifa competitions and corporate activities up to and including the 2030 World Cup.
Mr Infantino said the Wanda partnership would help with the continuing development and growth of the game in China and elsewhere.
"We are highly motivated to promote football across the country and to inspire a new generation of youngsters," said Wang Jianlin, chairman of the Wanda Group and the richest man in China.
He said the company wanted to support the Chinese government drive to develop football in the country. President Xi Jinping made football a national priority last year.
The deal is some positive news for Fifa, which has been engulfed in a corruption scandal for the past 10 months.
On Thursday, it said that costs connected with the scandal, including legal fees, helped bring about a loss of $122m in 2015, its first since 2002. | Conglomerate Wanda Group has become the first Chinese top-tier partner of world football governing body Fifa. |
What is the summary of the following document? | The unoccupied building in Taunton has now cost more than £16m in charges.
It was one of nine planned regional centres, but computer problems led to the project being scrapped in 2010 and it was never opened.
The FBU called for more efforts to get businesses to use the site. The area's MP said she was "confident" a deal could be done.
Figures obtained by the BBC through an FoI request show the centre cost the government £16.7m in rent, utilities and management up until the end of last year - almost double the £8.9m it cost to build.
The Taunton site was one of nine planned regional control centres, to replace 46 separate centres across the country.
But in 2010, with costs spiralling and major delays to the IT software programme, the coalition government cancelled the scheme.
Five sites - in Durham, Warrington, London, Fareham and Wolverhampton - have since been sub-let or transferred, but buildings in Taunton, Cambridge, Castle Donington and Wakefield are still empty.
Tam McFarlane, from the Devon and Somerset Fire Brigades Union, called the Taunton building a "scandalous waste of taxpayers' money".
"In recent years we've had jobs slashed, our front line services have been dangerously cut and all the time, when we're getting told to make efficiency savings, the government's pouring millions of pounds into what is essentially a white elephant."
He added it was "extraordinary that politicians can't find people to take it over".
Rebecca Pow, the Conservative MP for Taunton Deane, said she was "deeply disappointed" and "confident something will eventually be sorted out".
She said she was working with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to try to get a deal to "at least get a business into part of it, and get some contribution towards the payments".
Ms Pow said the problem lay with a contract that had been signed by the previous Labour government, which meant the landlord was guaranteed an income up to 2027.
"He doesn't have to do anything, he's under no obligation whatsoever to be lenient or to work with any other business that might want to use a bit of the building."

Statins are drugs that help to lower harmful cholesterol levels in the body by slowing down the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Around 6 million people take the drugs in the UK. They are given to people who have already had a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or stroke, and to people who are at risk because of their age, high blood pressure or other factors.
Published in the Lancet, it is an examination of studies into statins since they were first introduced in the 1980s.
There has been controversy over how widely they should be used, and especially if they should be given to otherwise well people who are at risk of cardiovascular disease.
There have also been concerns about potential side-effects, particularly muscle pain.
However, the Lancet says the best-designed studies into statins over the years show they have significant benefits in reducing the number of people who become ill or even die from heart attack and stroke.
The authors say there have been "misleading claims" about side-effects which have meant people who could benefit from statins have stopped taking them.
The review is backed by major health organisations, including the Royal College of GPs and the British Heart Foundation.
Some doctors are concerned about the drug being over-prescribed - especially for people who haven't had any cardiovascular symptoms.
It is possible to make lifestyle changes to lower cholesterol, such as a healthier diet, with less saturated fat and more fruit, vegetables and fibre, and being more active.
This is a question to which the Lancet review sought to give a definitive answer.
All drugs have side-effects, and doctors will discuss these with a patient when they are considering taking them.
The Lancet says that in 10,000 people, on an average dose, there would be between 50 and 100 cases - so up to 1% - of side-effects such as muscle pain, which could be addressed by lowering the dose of statins or even stopping taking the drug.
An article in another journal, the British Medical Journal, published in 2013, suggested up to 20% of people would have side-effects - but these figures were later withdrawn and the BMJ said the data they was based on was incorrect.
Editor Fiona Godlee said it was: "So that patients who could benefit from statins are not wrongly deterred from starting or continuing treatment because of exaggerated concerns over side-effects."
The experts who put together the review did so with the aim of reassuring patients who are already taking statins, or who may do so in the future.
However, anyone with any concerns should discuss them with their doctor.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Mohammad Akhlaq was beaten to death by a mob in Dadri in Uttar Pradesh state in late September.
His son, 22, was badly injured and had to have hospital treatment.
The case sparked furious debate about religious tolerance in India, with some criticising the government for not immediately condemning the attack.
Daljeet Chaudhary, a senior police officer in Uttar Pradesh, told AFP news agency: "We have filed a charge sheet against 15 persons... It is a case of murder."
Two more suspects were arrested on Wednesday, while a further two suspects are still on the run, local media report.
Mr Akhlaq, a farm worker, was asleep next to his son when a mob burst in wielding sticks, swords and pistols on 28 September.
The attack came after a loudspeaker announcement at a nearby temple said beef had been found in his home.
However, Mr Akhlaq's family, who are Muslim, denied consuming or storing beef - and forensic tests later confirmed that meat found in their fridge was goat meat.
Government ministers from the Hindu nationalist BJP have said the incident was a spontaneous expression of anger.
However, a panel from the National Commission for Minorities concluded that the lynching was premeditated and the temple had been used to plan the attack.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Damian Rzeszowski, 31, stabbed his wife Izabela Rzeszowska, 30, his daughter, Kinga, five, and son, Kacper, two, in St Helier on 14 August last year.
As well as his wife and children, Rzeszowski also killed Marek Garstka, 56, Marta De La Haye, 34, and her daughter Julia De La Haye, aged five.
He was found not guilty of murder by the Royal Court in Jersey, but had already pleaded guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility.
Izabela Rzeszowski was born in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland, and moved to St Helier to join her husband in 2004. They were married a year later.
Her family said their hearts were broken "when the hearts of six wonderful people stopped beating".
In a statement they said: "This tragedy is even more painful as we have lost our children and grandchildren.
"Knowing that we will never be able to play with Kinga and Julia again or cuddle little Kacper and we can never talk to Izabela, Marta or Marek again makes the pain unbearable.
"A day does not pass when we do not think about our loved ones and our memories of them bring tears to our eyes."
Mrs De La Haye's husband Craig said: "My life, and the lives of many families, have been devastated since then. Every day is a struggle to continue, and yet it still feels like yesterday that it happened.
"My beautiful wife Marta and wonderful daughter Julia, friends Kinga, Kacper, Isa and Marek, you will never be forgotten.
"Not a day goes past when I don't think about my family. I hope that one day I will see you again, until then... I love you."
Mrs De La Haye's mother, Tamara Jaciubek, said nothing would ever be the same without her daughter and granddaughter.
She said: "Finding the strength to carry on each day without them proves to be a continuous struggle.
"Every day I ask myself why? A question that will never be answered."
Mrs Jaciubek also thanked the Jersey community, saying it was wonderful how the island gathered together and showed compassion.
She said: "The financial help the good people of Jersey donated meant I was able to bring my only child and only grandchild back to Poland, something I will be forever grateful for."
Det Supt Stewart Gull was the senior investigating officer and said his thoughts were with the families of the victims.

Write a summary of this document. | Recent headlines have suggested Britain's decision to leave the EU is the cause of job losses in many parts of the UK, price rises for technology companies, the world's largest uncut diamond failing to sell at auction and even a major media group cancelling its staff party.
But is Brexit being blamed for a slew of bad news that was going to be released anyway?
That's the view of many Vote Leave supporters - a suggestion that is heavily disputed by leading figures in the Remain campaign.
Making the case for Brexit being an easy thing to blame for wider problems is the former director of the big business lobby group, the CBI, Digby Jones.
Lord Jones, who was Gordon Brown's trade minister, is himself a Brexit supporter.
He believes the real impact of Brexit will be tiny: "There's not going to be any economic pain. If there are job losses, they will be very few.
"One of our customers was thinking last week that they might not do a certain deal. Today they've said they won't and the reason is Brexit.
"It's got nothing to do with Brexit - but it's a very convenient thing to blame."
That view leaves the people who ran the unsuccessful campaign to persuade Britain to stay in the European Union shaking their heads in despair.
Roland Rudd runs one of the UK's most influential PR companies, Finsbury, and was heavily involved in the Remain campaign. He says there is very little truth in the "Brexit as an excuse" theory.
"Of course, if a company has got a bad news story, and part of the reason is to do with Brexit, and part of it is to do with its own problems, they'll try and shift some of it onto Brexit.
"But the analysts aren't fools, the market can't be deluded like this. And so most companies will not do that, because it simply isn't credible."
Lucy Thomas, who was the deputy director of the Remain campaign, agrees and argues that the business implications of Brexit are obvious.
"Businesses hate uncertainty. That is exactly what we have now, we are going to have at least two years of uncertainty while a deal is negotiated."
Because businesses do not know what the UK's terms of trade will be with the EU once it eventually leaves, investment is being frozen, she says.
"Businesses are reconsidering all of their decisions - to dismiss that is frankly dishonest."
The financial markets are still making up their minds as to which side to believe. The pound fell heavily against the US dollar immediately after the vote, before making up some ground.
Yet the UK's main share index, the FTSE 100, has reached levels not seen so far this year.
Meanwhile there has been a dramatic fall in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis.
Both manufacturing and service sectors saw a decline in output and orders, though exports picked up, driven by the weaker pound.
Digby Jones says the big drop in the value of the pound should be taken with a pinch of salt.
"It wasn't a signpost to the British economy at all. It was a signpost of an immediate reaction to a decision."
He wants to focus on real economic data: "What's it going to do to the European economy, including us?
"It's not in the interests of 520 million people to indulge in the 'Great Remain Sulk'," he says.
This view is supported by seasoned market commentator, David Buik of Panmure Gordon.
He says the market gyrations that follow some headlines can often lead traders towards buying opportunities.
"As long as they're on the right side of the trade, whoopee! There is money to be made whichever way the market is going.
"It's a little harder than it used to be a few years ago. It requires tremendous resolve, great character and quite a lot of guts," he says.
It will be some time before we know for sure which side is right when it comes to Britain's post-Brexit performance.

"Every player would be absolutely gutted if he was to leave," said 26-year-old Reading full-back Gunter.
"You'd like to think that the FAW are doing all they can to make sure he stays.
"I'm sure they are because it would be absolute madness to watch Chris Coleman walk away from our squad.
"What he's achieved stands alone, really and it would be crazy if he was to leave us as our manager now because the biggest thing is the respect he has of every single player in the squad.
"And that is pretty much the biggest compliment you can pay him."
Contract negotiations opened on 15 March, but no further talks between the FAW and their manager are scheduled with Coleman in "game mode" for Wales' friendlies against Northern Ireland and Ukraine.

Staff at Kozee Sleep, which supplied retailers including John Lewis and Next, were paid as little as £10 a day.
Company owner Mohammed Rafiq and employees Mohammed Patel and Mohammed Dadhiwala are accused of conspiracy to traffic individuals within the UK.
All three men deny any wrongdoing in their trial at Leeds Crown Court.
The court heard that an investigation was launched into Kozee Sleep, based in Dewsbury, and its subsidiary Layzee Sleep, in Batley, after two Hungarians, Janos Orsos and Ferenc Illes, were arrested over human trafficking allegations.
The jury was told large numbers of Hungarian men were employed at both factories at a time when the business was in financial trouble.
Christopher Tehrani QC, prosecuting, told said: "Kozee Sleep provided some of the UK's largest retailers with beds and mattresses either directly or through intermediary companies.
"These companies included Next Plc, the John Lewis Partnership and Dunelm Mill.
"As part of the contract, Kozee Sleep was required to adhere to each company's policies re ethical trading, which included how they treated persons who worked on their premises."
Mr Tehrani said the firms carried out regular ethical audits before May 2014, but added: "Nothing untoward had been uncovered during those audits."
The prosecutor said one worker, Mark Kovacs, came to the UK and was put into overcrowded accommodation by Janos Orsos and his people-trafficking organisation.
Orsos was jailed for five years for people trafficking in May 2014.
Mr Tehrani told the court: "He (Mr Kovacs) describes people sleeping anywhere they could - in beds, bunk-beds, on mattresses, on the table or on the floor.
"The house was overcrowded."
Mr Rafiq, of Thorncliffe Road, Staincliffe, Mr Patel, of Carr Side Crescent, Batley, and Mr Dadhiwala, of Upper Mount Street, Batley Carr, all deny a single count of conspiracy to traffic individuals within the UK.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | The MP, appointed by new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said the comments had clearly caused offence and apologised "from the bottom of my heart".
Speaking on BBC Question Time, he said he had been trying to give both sides of the conflict a way to lay down arms with "some form of dignity".
Unionist politicians welcomed the apology but questioned his motives.
Mr McDonnell also said he was sorry for an "appalling joke" about former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
In 2010, he said that if he could go back in time he would "assassinate Thatcher".
Challenged on this remark by a member of the audience, he said: "It was an appalling joke. It's ended my career in stand-up, let's put it that way, and I apologise for it as well."
Mr McDonnell's remarks about the "bravery" of the IRA have been highlighted since his appointment to Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet.
His remarks were made at a gathering in London in 2003 to commemorate IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands.
Mr McDonnell told the meeting: "It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle.
"It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table."
Speaking on Question Time on Thursday, he said at the time he made the comments it had looked like "we were going to lose the peace process".
By Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent
This was John McDonnell attempting to deal with the most toxic of his comments dredged from a back catalogue of remarks dismissed as insignificant when they were first uttered, but now being held up to scrutiny.
It illustrates the central challenge for the new Labour leadership.
Elected because they offered what was seen as the unspun authenticity of those with track records unsullied by the compromises of office, they are now burdened for the first time with that label "figurehead" - and with it the duty to represent the sensibilities and sensitivities of the whole Labour movement.
And, they hope, in time, the country too.
Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have spent the week wobbling along a tightrope, pointing upwards towards what they see as the virtues of novelty, honesty and freshness.
But a battalion of Labour MPs behind them are pointing in the other direction, down; fearful their party is perilously close to tumbling into a cavern of shambolic misery and irrelevance.
Although the Good Friday Agreement, aimed at bringing an end to the Troubles, came into force in 1998, devolved government in Northern Ireland proved difficult to implement because of disagreements over a range of issues.
Direct rule from Westminster was reintroduced in October 2002, with the Stormont Assembly not returning for nearly five years.
The MP for Hayes and Harlington said his choice of words in 2003 had been wrong, adding: "What I tried to do for both sides is to give them a way out with some form of dignity otherwise they wouldn't lay their arms down."
He added: "And can I just say this, because this has been raised with me time and time again - I accept it was a mistake to use those words, but actually if it contributed towards saving one life, or preventing someone else being maimed it was worth doing, because we did hold on to the peace process.
"There was a real risk of the republican movement splitting and some of them continuing the armed process. If I gave offence, and I clearly have, from the bottom of my heart I apologise, I apologise."
Colin Parry, whose 12-year-old son Tim was killed by an IRA bomb in Warrington in 1993, said the apology was welcome "on the face of it", but questioned the MPs motivation for making it.
"How sincere it is or how much it is based on the fact that his political profile has changed, I don't know," he said.
"Far from consolidating the peace process by saying what he did, you could argue that he was giving succour to the view the more you fight, the more you fight on, the better the deal you get."
Nigel Dodds, the deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, suggested the MP had been forced into the apology because of the "strength of public outrage" and urged him to be honest about his "long record" of support for the IRA.
"The credibility of his wording in relation to this apology is undermined by the incredibility of the self-justification we have heard," he told Daily Politics.
"For anyone, least of all him, to pretend this was part of a grand scheme to persuade republicans to lay down arms as part of the peace process...John McDonnell, Jeremy Corbyn and people on the hard left played no role whatsoever in the peace process."
Mr Dodds said Mr McDonnell's views were "totally unrepresentative" of opinion within the wider Labour movement, adding: "We must have people in positions of great seniority who are not in the position where they are supportive of or have condoned violence in the past."

Can you summarize the given article? | So Facebook's Safety Check feature, which allows users to mark themselves as "safe", was well used in the aftermath of the attack in London at the weekend.
For some, it offers an instant way to get in touch with people around the world in just one click but for others it can make them feel as if they are "riding on the coat-tails" of a tragic situation.
Student Megan O'Hagan lives very close to Borough Market and London Bridge, and felt the safety check on Facebook was a very quick and easy way to let a large number of people know very quickly about her situation.
"I also find it useful to check on people I know in the area if I do not have their number or cannot contact them for whatever reason," she said, but also thought that it could be open to some misuse.
"Several of my friends from over two hours away marked themselves as safe but I think it should only be available to people that can confirm they are in the area, as no-one is wondering if someone who lives in Liverpool and hasn't been to London is safe in a terror attack in London!"
Italian psychologist Susanna Rota lives near London Bridge and was in the area when the attack happened. She also used Facebook to mark herself safe on Saturday but this was the first time she had decided to use it.
"Even though I lived in London for 17 years I didn't feel the need to use it previously because I wasn't directly involved and did not really link myself to what had happened," she said. "But this time it was the quickest way to let my family know I was safe.
"I remember during the 2005 bombings there was no such way to get in touch with people and there were problems with the phone lines too. It took a very long time to get in touch with my family in Italy."
Since the 7/7 London bombings, Ms Rota thinks that the growth of the internet and our use of Facebook has changed the way we view ourselves and others.
"It can be a very positive thing but it can also be negative. it depends on whether we need to let people know we are safe or want people to ask us because we want to grab attention," she added.

Simon Beech says he did think about letting friends know on Facebook that he was safe but ultimately decided not to because "there was enough tragedy without me riding its coat-tails".
He said he knows that Facebook can enable people to be very kind to each other in times of severe turmoil with people offering taxi rides or accommodation to those caught up in the event.
However, he was also aware on Saturday that some people were taking the situation less seriously.
"Somebody was offering accommodation in China and one man seemed to be well-known for always offering assistance as if to further his reputation," said Mr Beech.
"One poor woman obviously felt that she needed to do something, but as she didn't live in London she offered a 'shoulder to cry on' which earned her a reasonable amount of scorn from other people," he added.
"It could just be teenagers trolling too, I suppose. But you open yourself to the misgivings of others."
The terrible loss of life and injury in the attack can not be overestimated but some Facebook users including Tariq Ahmed, chose not to mark themselves as safe because he felt it was magnifying the level of danger.
He said: "The threat of being killed in a car accident is much greater. Didn't want to contribute in he overexposure of the type of threat that is least likely to happen."
And for the same reason Amber Philipps said she marked herself safe but later questioned the decision adding: "...actually marking myself 'safe' is almost making people feel that being caught up in the attack is extremely likely".
By Annie Flury, UGC and Social News | When news starts to break of an unfolding emergency it probably seems natural that most people want reassurance that their friends and family are not in danger. |
Summarize the passage below. | The closure of Lyle Bailie International will result in the loss of six jobs.
It said a major factor has been the downturn in government advertising spending.
In an early guise as McCann-Erickson Belfast, the firm produced government advertising aimed at building support for the peace process.
One of the firm's ads was so shocking it was banned from being broadcast before the watershed.
Another campaign, 'crashed lives' featured real victims.
One such advert showed disturbing images of gunmen opening fire on customers in a pub.
Lyle Bailie was established in 2004 following the management buyout of McCann Erickson Belfast by directors David Lyle and Julie Anne Bailie.
Mr Lyle said there have been "ever-reducing budgets amid growing uncertainty about the future".
He added the failure of the Northern Ireland Executive to agree a budget has "been a major factor in this uncertainty".
Mr Lyle thanked his clients and staff who he said had shown unwavering commitment "in the face of these recent financial difficulties".
The company has appointed Baker Tilly Mooney Moore accountants to propose an arrangement with creditors.
Powell, 47, has left his role as head coach of Championship side Featherstone Rovers to take over the Tigers.
"I've been proud to coach all the teams I've been at but this is a special moment," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
Powell will take over from assistant coach Danny Orr, who had been in temporary charge since Millward's departure in April.
Millward parted company with the club, along with assistant Stuart Donlan, with the side bottom of the table after a disastrous start to their Super League campaign.
I used to watch games here and I was a big supporter of the club in my youth. There's a lot of challenges out there and we'll be looking to climb the table bit by bit but there's so much positivity here
The side have since moved up to 12th in the table, most recently recording a 32-24 win over Hull KR on Sunday.
Tigers' chief executive Steve Gill said: "We have taken our time over the appointment of a new head coach because we wanted to ensure that we brought the right man on board and I'm convinced that Daryl Powell is that man.
"He is an excellent coach who has proven his skills at Featherstone Rovers over several seasons. He is at the cutting edge of coaching and his previous role as assistant coach of the England side shows how highly regarded he is."
Former Leeds boss Powell added: "I used to watch games here and I was a big supporter of the club in my youth.
"There's a lot of challenges out there and we'll be looking to climb the table bit by bit but there's so much positivity here.
"I want to build the club and I want to be involved form the top to the bottom."
Powell was appointed Featherstone boss in 2008 and went on to lead the side to three Championship Grand Finals, securing the title in 2011. He also famously led the side to a Challenge Cup fourth round win over Tigers in 2012.
Rovers currently sit in second place in the Championship but Powell feels the move to the Super League strugglers is one that makes sense.
"I don't think it's a gamble," he said.
"You go into coaching jobs with your eyes wide open, obviously it's in a development stage but I don't see it as a gamble I see it as an opportunity.
"It's ripe for growing all across the board with everything the club does and I feel I can have a big part in that."
Featherstone chief executive Craig Poskitt said: "We thank Daryl for his outstanding services to Featherstone Rovers. It was our duty to allow Castleford the opportunity to speak with Daryl and he decided that the move was the right direction for him to take.
"I would like to state that the club will now be on the lookout for a replacement that shares our vision and wants to be a part of the long-term future of the club in Super League." | The advertising agency behind some of Northern Ireland's most memorable ad campaigns has ceased trading.

Summarize the content provided below. | Some teachers have been reporting temperatures topping 32C (90F) and very uncomfortable conditions in class.
And some schools have been dishing out ice lollies and renting air conditioners to help pupils keep cool.
General secretary of the NASUWT teaching union Chris Keates said such heat makes pupils lethargic, can affect concentration and lead to fainting.
Her union wants to see a statutory maximum temperature of 30C in school classrooms. This would mean staff and pupils being sent home if thermometers went above this.
She said excessive temperatures are a major problem for schools and that most are ill-equipped to cope with them.
She claimed teachers and pupils were sweltering in classrooms with inadequate ventilation and sometimes not even blinds at the windows which can be used to provide some limited shade.
Ms Keates said: "The impact of excessive temperatures on teaching and learning needs be given serious consideration.
"Pupils become extremely lethargic, unable to concentrate and, in some cases, faint.
"Lessons are disrupted by constant requests for time out to get drinks of water or to go outside and many tasks take far longer to perform. Teachers report that the quality of work undoubtedly suffers at such times."
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, is also calling for statutory maximum temperatures to come into force.
She said: "Clearly, very high temperatures can affect the ability of teachers and pupils to concentrate and to work effectively, and can cause physical discomfort and illness.
"The NUT will continue to campaign to ensure that 26C is the absolute maximum temperature in which teachers should be expected to work."
One teacher told the NASUWT: "I teach in a classroom with no ventilation, no windows and just two doors which open into other closed areas. When the weather is above 24-25C, and more especially if the humidity remains high, the room is too uncomfortable in which to work.
"Any significant movement results in sweating, it becomes difficult to concentrate and there is a complete loss of enthusiasm to do anything beyond basic childminding."
Meanwhile head teachers have been trying their best to help both staff and children keep cool in schools up and down the country which have not yet broken up for the summer holidays.
Some have taken the precaution of cancelling or rearranging their sports days, while others have been encouraging children to stay in the shade at break times.
Parents are being reminded by text message and email to send their children to school in sunhats and to put on sun cream before they leave home.
One head, Simon Hawley of Colham Manor Primary School in Hillingdon, said ice lollies were being dished out to pupils by catering staff once a day.
And like many other schools he has hired extra air conditioners and is ensuring pupils have constant access to water. He has also relaxed the uniform requirements

Summarize the information given below. | "When China sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold," was how one Chinese netizen described the aftermath of the fall.
Thousands of other users also reacted across the Chinese internet.
"Looks like Black Monday has become Tumble Tuesday," remarked one user on China's microblogging platform Weibo.
"This is the Great Fall of China. First the Tianjin tragedy and now stock market sadness. Let's keep our heads up," said another.
Weibo users were also expressing their worries and their questions about "long-term volatility" of Chinese stocks.
"I don't understand why our stock market has become so volatile," said another. "Can someone tell us clear reasons behind this? It's frustrating and scary for one holding stocks right now."
News about the "tidal wave impact" of China's stock market also spread to Twitter, where users began tweeting using the #BlackMonday hashtag.
Concerned or curious Google users also searched for stock market news, and it soon became a top trend.
Others began to wonder if things were going to get worse.
"After Black Monday now comes Dark Tuesday?" wrote Hong Kong Twitter user and journalist George Chen. "The Shanghai benchmark index sunk 6.4% at opening as the central bank allowed Ren Men Bi [China's yuan currency] to devalue again."
A curious sculpture of a bull riding a bear in the southeastern port city of Xiamen has also struck a chord with Chinese netizens.
Bulls are considered the symbols of confident economy, the opposite totem - when the economy is retreating - being a bear.
Some have described the 3.4m-high (11ft), three-tonne statue, sitting outside an art museum, as an unofficial "symbol of hope".
"Let's hope this bull can bear the stock market pressure," commented one Weibo user.
Another user said: "After all the turmoil, looking at it gives me strength."
Visitors have also been flocking to Xiamen to catch a glimpse of the copper statue, with some even making offerings by placing joss sticks and food around its feet.
The owner of the statue also told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV News that it was indeed "related to the current stock market". | Chinese stocks continue to tumble, a day after "Black Monday" sent markets crashing across the globe. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Speaking on an American chat show, Sir Patrick Stewart, 74, told host Larry King:
"It is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don't think we'll be making an appearance. Nor Sir Ian McKellen, either."
X-Men: Apocalypse is due for release in 2016.
It's expected to focus on the cast of X-Men: First Class, which included James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen have played the roles of Professor X and Magneto in the X-Men series since 2000.
2014's installment X-Men: Days of Future Past featured a time travel plot that meant those original stars could appear alongside their younger counterparts from X-Men: First Class.
The film had a cliffhanger ending which some have suggested could leave the door open for the veteran actors to appear in future X-Men films or one of the upcoming X-Men related films, Gambit or Deadpool.
There have been seven films in the X-Men franchise so far, including two Wolverine spin-off movies.
X-Men: Apocalypse, which will be directed by Bryan Singer, is due for release in 2016.
It is an adaptation of the popular comic book storyline of En Sabah Nur and his Four Horsemen.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen have a long history of working together in both film and theatre, dating back to the 1970s.
In 2013 Sir Patrick Stewart married jazz singer Sunny Ozell. McKellen conducted the ceremony.

Summarize the following content briefly. | A walkway on top of the float on which dancers were standing toppled early on Tuesday, sending them tumbling.
The incident came a day after 20 people were injured at the Sambadrome when a float crushed them against a fence.
Police are investigating both incidents.
The float represented Bourbon Street in New Orleans and members of the samba school were dancing on walkways made to look like balconies when the upper walkway gave way.
"We heard a burst on the top. People started screaming, we didn't understand what it was," eyewitness Felix Souza said.
"It was a moment of despair for all there."
The parade was halted for 25 minutes as the emergency services took the injured to hospital.
The float belonged to Unidos da Tijuca samba school.

Its director, Aiton Freitas, said he did not know what had gone wrong.
He said the float had been tested three times a week with more weight than it was carrying during the parade.
"We are even more shocked than you all are," he told journalists. "I don't know what is happening, but Rio's Carnival is not being blessed this year."
Kaylie Hatton, 16, left the Sidcup address in Bexley on 16 May. She is believed to be in the company of 51-year-old Fred Finch from Eltham.
Scotland Yard said the teenager went missing in the early hours after arguing with her grandmother.
The Met said they had classed them as "high-risk missing persons".
Kaylie and Mr Finch were last seen travelling on a 96 bus in the Welling/Crayford area.
Det Sgt Graham Scott said: "We have had some unconfirmed sightings over the past week and we think they might be using swimming pools and leisure centres to grab a shower.
"The last proof of life we have got is Sunday night between 4pm and 8pm at a friend's address."
Det Sgt Scott said Kaylie had long blonde hair that may have been dyed dark.
She was last seen wearing a white top with a gold chain around the collar, black leggings and tan Timberland boots.
Mr Finch is described as white with short dark hair. He was last seen wearing a baseball cap, a black jacket, black jeans and black Nike trainers. | At least 12 people were injured when a float collapsed in Rio de Janeiro's Sambadrome, the venue where the samba schools hold their annual carnival parade.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | When I went back to get coffee three hours later, it was gone. Instead, there was a pile of rubble - as if a miniature tornado had swept along the small row of shops that had been there, gobbling each and every one of them up, before abruptly running out of steam at a huge apartment building.
This strip of businesses - fronting a leafy street - was unique for Lagos. There were cafes with benches outside, a small supermarket stocking the essentials, a brand new pharmacy, a bakery and a dance studio - all of them run by women.
That morning, at 09:00 Ada Osakwe, owner of Nuli Juice, got a call from her manager who told her armed police with a bulldozer were outside the cafe.
The officers said the building was to be demolished immediately.
When she arrived 10 minutes later, Ada found her staff trying to rip fixtures from the walls and throwing tables and chairs out of the window onto the rain-soaked street.
Later, I saw videos of a bulldozer with its yellow metal claw hacking at the polished wood and glass of this brand new cafe.
All the businesses were razed to the ground by the Lagos state government. The owners stood on the street staring in disbelief at what had just happened.
And the reason for all this destruction?
The engineer in charge told the owners that the premises had no permit - and that they had told the landlord this six months earlier.
Two days after the demolition, Lagos state government issued a statement saying the buildings were "causing environmental nuisance, traffic snarls and more importantly a security threat to the neighbourhood".
But I live on this road and have never noticed a problem with traffic or felt any threat.
Demolitions of businesses - especially market stalls or roadside shops - happen regularly in Lagos.
The government usually says these traders have no permit or permission to operate.
Razing concrete buildings to the ground happens less often.
But just a few days after the Lagos demolition, a bakery in the capital Abuja was threatened with demolition too, after five years in business at the same spot.
When I posted a video of the Lagos demolition on Twitter, I got caught up in a social media storm of indignation.
Many people were asking where the landlord was in all of this.
He's currently abroad, but I tracked him down and he told me that he found out about the demolition the evening after it had happened.
He seemed to me as shocked about it as the tenants.
He told me the building had been marked with an X in red paint last March, so he went to see officials in the state government to find out why.
He said he showed them what he had invested in the area - paving the public road and fixing the drainage.
He added that the officials told him they would get back to him.
And that was the last he had heard - until the demolition.
But he wasn't too keen to complain.
"In Nigeria, you take any beating from the government," he said. "If you make a fuss, the government will go after you."
Recently, Lagos state government also closed a market that had emerged around a police barracks.
The owners of those businesses are suing the state.
What they intend to argue, I've been told, is that the authorities in Lagos were inconsistent.
They allowed the shops on my road to stay open for much longer than the ones near the police barracks.
It may be impossible to unearth what prompted the order to rip down six thriving small businesses. But if the reaction is anything to go by it was an insensitive move at a sensitive time for Nigeria.
The country is now officially in recession, following the fall in the oil price.
To reduce dependency on oil, the federal government says it's promoting agriculture and entrepreneurship.
But that claim feels empty when a juice bar that works with local farmers is torn down, along with a vegetable shop that sells Nigerian produce.
Just a few days before the demolition, I followed Mark Zuckerberg as he made a surprise visit to Lagos.
The Facebook founder praised the country's entrepreneurial spirit and the great and the good of Nigeria nodded in approval.
But one young tech entrepreneur who met Mr Zuckerberg told me that businesses like hers thrive, not because of their government but despite it.
They battle poor infrastructure, erratic power supply, sky-rocketing inflation and government that they think throws obstacles in their path.
Many Nigerian businesses are struggling.
And for now any pledges to help entrepreneurs mean little to those on the street I live on, who are still picking through the rubble - to salvage what is left. | A few days ago on the way to the office, I grabbed breakfast at a new juice bar on the street where I live. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia and Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro met for talks at a border town in Venezuela.
They agreed to set up high level groups to discuss security, energy and trade.
Relations had been strained since Mr Santos agreed in May to meet Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles in Bogota.
Mr Capriles had been seeking Colombian support for contesting his defeat by a narrow margin to Mr Maduro at Venezuela's election in April.
Venezuela's Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said at the time that the meeting would "derail" good relations between the two countries.
Venezuela had threatened to stop acting as a facilitator in peace talks between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
But at the meeting on Monday, Mr Maduro said Colombia could count on the full support of his government in the talks, which are taking place in Cuba.
"We are at your orders to contribute, even modestly, so Colombia can celebrate peace sooner than later," Mr Maduro told his counterpart after the meeting in Puerto Ayacucho, capital of Venezuela's Amazonas province.
The two presidents were smiling and looked relaxed, said the BBC's Arturo Wallace in Bogota.
"There are issues we agree with, we have different views on many things but we have a huge obligation and responsibility of working together. And that is what we are going to do," said Mr Santos.
"We are keen to make up for lost time," said the Colombian president.
Relations between the two countries were extremely difficult when Alvaro Uribe was in power in Colombia.
The conservative leader disliked the policies of the late leader, Hugo Chavez, and accused Venezuela of harbouring left-wing rebels from the Farc and the ELN in its territory.
Diplomatic relations were broken in July 2010, but restored months later when Juan Manuel Santos was elected to succeed Mr Uribe. | The presidents of Colombia and Venezuela have agreed to work to improve relations, two months after a row erupted between the two neighbours. |

Write a summary for this information. | The cat-eyed snake, also known as a frog spawn snake, from Costa Rica, was found by the man once he got home to his house in Tryst Park.
He had bought the pineapple from an Aldi store on Tuesday.
The snake, which has been named Ricky by the Scottish SPCA, is now being cared for by experts at Butterfly World in Edinburgh.
Catherine Atterton, of the Scottish SPCA, said, "It's not every day that we get called out to attend to snakes found in peculiar places.
"I know not long ago there was a wee lizard found on a head of broccoli so I was quite excited to see what had stowed away on this pineapple.
"We named him Ricky, as he's come all the way from Costa Rica. He's in a good condition and is now being cared for by experts at Butterfly World in Edinburgh.
"We're glad we were called out as without proper care Ricky wouldn't survive our climate. Now he'll be able to recuperate from his adventures."
An Aldi spokeswoman said: "This is the first time we, or our supplier, who supplies all major supermarkets, have received a complaint of this nature.
"All our fresh pineapples are transported in cold storage with additional processes in place to prevent such issues occurring.
"We are investigating this isolated incident with our supplier to understand how this could have happened."
Director Susanne Bier told Broadcast the script was "slowly being developed" for the follow-up.
Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman starred in the BBC One thriller, which was a hit last year. Its three stars won Golden Globes, while Danish director Bier won an Emmy Award.
The series was based on John le Carre's 1993 novel - but the book does not have a sequel.
Bier told Broadcast: "We all very much want to do a season two, but the thing we absolutely do not want is to do something that does not live up to the level of season one.
"That would be a really bad idea."
She was discussing the drama at Keshet's INTV conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
More than nine million people watched the finale of The Night Manager on the BBC last March.
Hiddleston played enigmatic Jonathan Pine, who goes undercover to expose billionaire arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Hiddleston has said he would consider making a second series.
Meanwhile, Le Carre announced on Tuesday that fictional spy George Smiley will return in a new novel - the character's first appearance in print for 25 years. A Legacy of Spies will be published in September.
The BBC is also adapting le Carre's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, in which Smiley also appears, which will air next year.

Summarize the provided section. | This is the world's biggest programme of turbine installation, double that of its nearest rival, the US.
The nation’s entire annual increase in energy demand has been fulfilled from the wind.
But the IEA warns China has built so much coal-fired generating capacity that it is turning off wind turbines for 15% of the time.
The problem is that coal-fired power stations are given priority access to the grid.
An IEA spokesman told BBC News: “The rather rosy statement on wind energy hides the issue that 2015 and the first half of 2016 also saw record new installations of coal.
“China has now a clear over-supply. In the province of Gansu, 39% of wind energy had to be curtailed (turned off because there is not enough capacity on the grid).
The average European wind farm is forced to stop generating between 1-2% of the year.
He said: “China’s position is clearly unsustainable. It will need strong policy decisions, including the construction of many more grid lines and a phase-out policy for older, more inefficient coal power plants.”
State media has reported China’s plans to impose a moratorium on all new coal-fired plants until 2018.
The IEA says China installed more than 30,000 MW of new wind energy in 2015 – partly thanks to a rush driven by the Chinese government making its existing subsidies less attractive.
Construction has slackened in 2016, but only to a level of more than one turbine per hour.
Steve Sawyer from the Global Wind Energy Council told BBC News: “China’s build up of its capacity in wind - and now solar - is truly without parallel.
“It is no surprise that the Chinese grid’s capability to integrate this variable renewable energy has not progressed at the same rate, but to change this situation China needs to rapidly progress with electricity market reform.”
China has a recent history of setting targets on energy and climate change that it is sure it can achieve.
The government apparently over-estimated the likely increase of electricity demand, which grew just 0.5% - as China’s growth slowed, and dirty industries either closed down or improved energy efficiency.
It’s this decrease in demand and increase in renewables that gave China the confidence to ratify the Paris climate change agreement last week.
Lu Kang, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, told BBC News: "China has made great efforts in areas including reducing emission, environmental protection and developing renewable sustainable energy.
“The International Community recognises our leading example role on climate change. I can assure you that China is determined to stick to this green sustainable path of development. This also serves China’s own need for development."
Lauri Myllyvirta of Greenpeace China told BBC News: “China has a coal bubble: it already has more coal-fired generation than it needs yet it is still building one power station a week.
“This complicates the transition to clean energy because companies are unhappy because they can’t run their power stations as much as they expected – they are sitting idle for much of the time.
“It is also a massive waste of resources that could be spent on clean energy instead.”
The IEA says the boom in coal-plant building has been spurred by readily-available finance and help from local authorities. Mining and transport companies are diversifying into power plant construction.
In its first global review of energy investment, the IEA says the energy system is broadly turning towards low-carbon energy and energy efficiency - but investment in key clean energy technologies needs to triple to meet the climate targets agreed at the Paris climate summit.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | With the winners taking the title and a draw making Somerset champions, Yorkshire were set 240 off 40 overs after discussions between the captains.
Middlesex slogged 120 off 8.5 overs and then bowled Yorkshire out for 178.
"Both teams felt we owed it to the occasion to try to make a good game of it," Franklin told BBC Sport.
Somerset, who were top of the table at the start of Friday's play after beating relegated Nottinghamshire inside three days, needed their two title rivals to draw to win the County Championship for the first time.
And the decision to set up a Yorkshire run chase meant the title winners were likely to come from the game at Lord's, with Somerset watching on helplessly on television at Taunton.
Somerset opener Marcus Trescothick told Sky Sports: "Both teams wanted to win and you can understand it - they're going to try to win at all costs.
"We're all pretty disappointed because it was heading in a certain direction. It's fairly tough."
The decision to allow the hosts to score quickly before declaring was criticised by some, but Franklin said both teams put everything on the line to go for victory.
The 35-year-old said: "We were still under the pump going into Friday's play but Nick Gubbins (93) and Dawid Malan (116) batted beautifully and forced the hand to start discussions.
"To have the best chance of winning, there would have to be a bit of give and take and each side had to be prepared to lose.
"I take my hat off to Yorkshire for committing to that because we were committed to it. If [Yorkshire captain] Andrew Gale was holding the trophy now, our guys would have walked off with their heads held high. We're very fortunate that we are on the winning side."
Toby Roland-Jones wrapped up Middlesex's first title success for 23 years with a hat-trick.
He was part of the side which inflicted Yorkshire's only defeat of 2015 but it was not enough to stop them from winning a second successive Division One crown, with Middlesex finishing second.
"We said to ourselves we didn't want to watch them lift the trophy at Lord's again this year when we played them here for the last game," said the 28-year-old seamer.
"Winning in the manner we did is an unreal feeling, it's what I have dreamed of since I joined the club."
Yorkshire were unable to give head coach Jason Gillespie a victorious send-off - he is leaving the club after five years in charge to return to his native Australia.
The former Australia paceman led Yorkshire to promotion from Division Two in 2012 and back-to-back Division One titles in 2014 and 2015.
"I'm very disappointed to lose the game, but I am incredibly proud of our players," Gillespie said.
"I'm going to miss them a huge amount and I'm no longer a coach, but a Yorkshire supporter now."
Meanwhile, Yorkshire skipper Gale said it was an achievement to have still been in contention on the final day.
Batsman Gale managed just 525 runs at an average of 21 this season, with his side's top order in particular failing to fire on a number of occasions.
"We probably haven't played our best cricket but to take it to the last hour of the season is incredible," he said.
"I'm disappointed not to get over the line. I thought 240 was maybe a few too many but a longer chase would be better for us.
"We just needed one man to make 100 but it wasn't to be and I'm gutted that I can't send Gillespie out with a trophy." | Middlesex captain James Franklin stood by the contrived declaration which helped his side beat Yorkshire at Lord's and win the County Championship. |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | A second Chinese was injured, as were several Zambians, during the riot on Saturday.
The workers were on strike at the mine in protest against delays in implementing a new minimum wage.
They were angry their wages were lower than a new minimum of $220 (£140) a month paid to shop workers.
Zambia's minister of labour has gone to the Chinese-owned Collum coal mine in Sinazongwe, 325km (200 miles) south of the capital, Lusaka.
"Wu Shengzai, aged 50, has been killed by protesting workers after being hit by a trolley which was pushed towards him by the rioting miners as he ran away into the underground where he wanted to seek refugee," Southern province police commissioner Fred Mutondo told state news agency, the Zambia News and Information Services.
"He died on the spot while his colleague is in hospital."
Last year, the Zambian government dropped charges against two Chinese managers accused of attempted murder after they fired on miners at the Collum mine during a pay dispute.
Chinese firms own several mines in southern African countries, including coal and copper operations.
Copper mining is one of Zambia's main industries, providing nearly three-quarters of the country's exports; many of the mining companies are foreign-owned, and China has invested more than $400m (£250m) in Zambia.
A 2011 report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that, despite improvements in recent years, safety and labour conditions at Chinese mines were worse than at other foreign-owned mines. | Zambian miners have killed a Chinese manager by pushing a mine trolley at him during a riot at a coal mine in the south of the country. |
What is the summary of the provided article? | And if you have ever experienced a scorchingly hot Brazilian day, you'll know that this is actually a wise thing. You really do want your lager to be super-chilled in such climatic conditions.
While you can easily buy a cold beer from a supermarket or beach vendor, for many Brazilians their preferred port of call is still a boteco, the humble bar or pub.
Most botecos are small, family-run businesses, which, for reasons lost in the mists of time, don't actually serve draft beer. Instead the beer - always lager - typically comes in large 600ml bottles.
The idea is that friends share a bottle - or many - between them, which they drink while eating plates of petiscos (snacks).
The petiscos are typically something deep fried, such as breaded cod balls, or a pastel, which is a type of small pasty that also gets the hot oil treatment.
Imagine an authentic Spanish tapas bar, only with no sherry, and more use of a fryer.
With hundreds of botecos in Rio de Janeiro alone, the more ambitious ones try to boost their business by standing out from the crowd.
One way many do this is by entering an annual Brazil-wide competition to find the best botecos in the country.
Now in its 15th year, and free to enter, the Comida di Buteco contest judges bars according to four criteria - the quality of the food, the hygiene standards, the service, and crucially - the temperature of the beer.
Each boteco is judged by both a panel of judges, who visit anonymously and provide 50% of its final score, and by popular vote.
This year 45 bars in Rio entered the competition, which ran for a month until the middle of May. Each puts forward one dish upon which their food should be marked.
Botecos that take part generally enjoy a big boost in trade during the four weeks of the event, and then over the longer term if they win a prize.
David Bispo, owner of boteco Bar do David, says that entering Comida di Buteco "transformed" his business.
The 43-year-old opened his bar five years ago when he found himself out of work.
A fisherman by trade, and unable to find a job at the time, he decided that launching a bar serving food was his best option.
"Food is something people have to buy every day, so it generates income every day," he says. "You probably haven't bought any clothes today, but you've probably bought food."
So in 2010 he launched Bar do David in the Chapeu Mangueira favela or shanty town, which clings to a steep hillside overlooking Rio's famous Copacabana beach.
A year earlier the favela had been "pacified" by the police and soldiers, who had driven out the criminal gangs, so Mr Bispo was confident that it was now a good spot in which to open his bar.
So with his sisters helping out in the kitchen, his boteco opened its doors. Instead of just selling the typical pestiscos, Mr Bispo decided to also serve traditional Brazilian home-cooked dishes, such as feijoada, a thick bean and meat stew.
"These are the recipes that existed in my home," says Mr Bispo. "[In essence] what we did was open our home to the public."
In the bar's first year of business, Mr Bispo decided to enter Comida di Buteco, putting forward a similar stew to be judged.
The restaurant won an award, and Mr Bispo says its business shot up, and stayed up.
The theme of this year's Comida di Buteco competition is "fruit", and Mr Bispo has entered with a dish of pork ribs served with a pineapple jam with mint and chilli, finished with crystallised pineapple.
He says that the dish has been so popular with his customers that he had to buy more than a tonne of raw ribs.
And with the 2015 results just in, Mr Bispo's bar was judged to be the third best in Rio.
The competition was originally set up by a radio station in the city of Belo Horizonte, which is known as the "pub capital of Brazil".
Today the contest is run by a small private company, which pays for the event by securing a number of sponsors, including potato crisp business Lay's, which is part of Pepsi, and food group Kraft.
Another Rio boteco that entered this year's competition is Angu do Gomes, located in the city's downtown area.
The bar, which traces its origin back in 1955, is still run by the same family, but it can certainly no longer describe itself as a small operation.
Instead it can seat 250 people over three floors.
Over the month of the competition the boteco's trade increased by 20%, according to co-owner Rigo Duarte, a grandson of the founder.
The 33-year-old says this was a welcome boost, as it can often be difficult for bars to make money in Rio, especially during the summer months - December to February - when people want to go to the beaches instead.
Mr Duarte, whose food entry in the competition was fish goujons with coconut and a berry sauce, adds that the event was a good way for him to meet other participants, and share ideas.
He adds: "The thing about the competition isn't to win, but to participate."
Sadly Angu do Gomes didn't win an award this year, but Bode Cheiroso, a boteco close to Rio's giant Maracana football stadium, has just been voted the fourth best in Rio.
Co-owner Emanuelle Braga Duarte Ribeiro, 38, says its business tripled during the month of the competition, as hungry diners flocked to try its entry dish of prawns covered with crushed cashew nuts, served with a passion fruit sauce.
"We typically make 2,000 reals ($636; £435) a day, but when the competition was on it was 6,000," she says.
"And we are hoping for return custom of 30%. If at least 30% of the people who came to the bar during the competition come back, we'll be super happy." | There is a saying in Brazil for how most people like their beer to be served - estupidamente gelada (stupidly cold). |

The RSPCA said the cub, which was found cowering underneath a car in Rushden, Northamptonshire, could have perished without human intervention.
Once freed, the animal was checked over and released back into the wild.
Animal Collection Officer Sharon Knight said: "This fox had a lucky escape. Discarded jars, tin cans or even elastic bands can be a death trap."
Ms Knight said it was not known how long the fox had been stuck before she removed the jar last Friday.
"The poor cub had hidden himself under a car," she said. "Sadly the jam jar was firmly wedged over his head and it is unlikely he would have been able to get free without any help.
"It is horrible to think that if the member of the public had not contacted us, then the cub could have starved to death."
The vulpine liberation comes days after news emerged that another fox cub was found "near to death" after getting her head stuck in a peanut butter jar in Wiltshire.
Lin Zulian will head the new Communist Party Committee in Wukan and organise elections for a new village committee.
His predecessor is under investigation for alleged corruption.
Anger in Wukan over land seizures by officials resulted in an open revolt against local party leaders in December.
The villagers' key demands - including removing two local officials from their posts - were granted by officials amid considerable public backing for the villagers.
The move was seen as a rare compromise by the Chinese government.
Mr Lin on Sunday replaced the incumbent Wukan chief, a businessman who had headed the village for decades but who local people accused of land grabs.
"This is a decision that everyone in Wukan supports and it is an important move that will help resolve the land and village finance disputes," a villager with the surname of Zhang was quoted by news agency Agence France Presse as saying.
Protests began to simmer in Wukan, in Guangdong province, in September and escalated into deadlock after the death of a village negotiator in police custody.
Villagers said officials sold off their land to developers and failed to compensate them properly.
They also called for an investigation into the death of Xue Jinbo, who died on 11 December while in the hands of local police. Police say he died of a "sudden illness", but his family say he was beaten to death.
In December deputy provincial Communist Party secretary Zhu Mingguo met village representatives and reached an agreement to end the stand-off.
There are thousands of protests over land grabs in China each year, with the Wukan protest becoming a symbol of public outrage at perceived injustices.

Can you write a short summary of this section? | New York Times sports reporter Ben Shpigel was writing an article about the logistics of bringing the NFL team over and obtained the shipping list.
It recorded 350 rolls of toilet paper along with other items such as cereal.
Mr Shpigel told the BBC the toilet rolls were ordered for the players' use in the hotel and at Wembley Stadium.
He said the order had been included on the recommendation of an intern.
Mr Shpigel said this was how it was explained to him by the Jets' senior manager of team operations Aaron Degerness: "There was an intern who had been over to London numerous times.
"He noticed when he was there that - and I quote - 'the toilet paper was very thin because their plumbing isn't as good'.
"So, the intern informed the operations staff, and the Jets ordered 350 rolls of toilet paper for the hotel and the stadium."
Mr Shpigel said the players and coaches were "such creatures of habit" and the Jets' had wanted to replicate as best they could their operation in the US.
"More than anything I think it speaks to the level of detail to which the Jets approached the planning.
"Basically, if they could so something that they thought the travelling party would appreciate, then they would," he added.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The woman, 20, had arrived in the city to take part in a photo shoot arranged through her agent, but was abducted and held captive for six days.
Polish national Lukasz Herba, 30, who lives in the UK, has been arrested on kidnapping charges, police said.
The Foreign Office said it was providing consular support to a British woman.
The model, who has not been named, arrived in Milan on 10 July.
She arrived at an apartment the following day for the shoot, where she was attacked by two men, said police.
Police said the woman was drugged, handcuffed and loaded into a bag and put into the boot of car which was driven to an isolated house in Borgial, northwest of Turin.
Italian prosecutor Paolo Storari said: "The victim was doped with ketamine - then she was locked in a bag and carried for hours in a car.
"Think what could would have happened if she suffered from asthma."
The woman was kept handcuffed to a wooden chest of drawers in the bedroom for six days until she was released and taken to the British consulate in Milan, according to police.
Investigators said they discovered the kidnapper had organised several online auctions for the sale of abducted girls, which included a description and an opening price.
Police said it was unclear whether he had really abducted the victims or invented them for the auction.
The kidnapper used an encrypted account to ask the model's agent for £230,000 ($300,000) to stop her from being sold in auction.
He claimed he was working on behalf of the "Black Death Group", an organisation which operates in the deep web for illegal traffics, police said.
The victim told police the kidnapper said he would free her because the group had not realised she had a small child and they did not deal with mothers, prosecutors added.
Investigations into the case are being carried out by authorities in Italy, Poland and the UK.
The kidnapper was captured by police as he was accompanying the model to the British Consulate in Milan, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | A 15-a-side game invented and popularised in Ireland, hurling sees players use a wooden stick called a hurley to move a small ball, or sliotar, around the field.
You can catch the ball in your hand or scoop it up off the floor with your stick, and hit the ball with either the stick or your hand. You can also use the stick to block others.
To score, hit the ball between the opponents' goalposts - over the crossbar gets you one point, and into the net below the crossbar scores three.
Hurling prides itself on the fast pace of its action, so you will certainly burn calories, but the sport also rewards dexterity.
One of the skills, for example, is balancing the ball on the stick while running, and you will also develop good hand-eye coordination.
Ireland's Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is the governing body for hurling. The GAA website website offers video guides to the game as well as places to play and contact details.
The Provincial Council of Britain GAA looks after hurling in England, Scotland and Wales and has details of clubs and events.
The GAA claims hurling was already a feature of Gaelic culture in Ireland as the last Ice Age was receding, with references to the game extending back thousands of years.
In the 19th Century the Irish Hurling Union and, later, the GAA produced the first sets of formalised rules.
Hurling has had only one, brief flirtation with Olympic status. At the 1904 St Louis Games, hurling was featured as a demonstration sport alongside basketball and baseball, both of which would later earn berths on the full Olympic programme.

Can you summarize the following information? | The victims are thought to have been conducting a search inside the building when its roof collapsed.
Earlier, they had managed to lead to safety more than 100 workers at the warehouse where plastic materials and gas canisters were stored.
A search is continuing at the site in Golyanovo, north-east Moscow.
There are suspicions that the fire was caused by a violation of safety regulations.
"The corpses of eight colleagues have been found in the main area where the search was located," the emergency services ministry said in a statement.
"Until the end there was hope that they would be alive. But due to the intense fire, the high temperatures and the thick smoke the firefighters were unable to get out."
Firefighters prevented the explosion of 30 cylinders of household gas in the warehouse, as well as discharging 67kg (148lb) of ammonium from a compressor facility, the emergency ministry also said, quoted by Tass news agency.
The fire - which reportedly engulfed an area of 4,000 sq m (43,000 sq feet) - was finally extinguished at 07:44 local time (04:44 GMT).
There are suspicions that radiators had been left on, overwhelming the building's electricity circuit.

Please summarize the following text. | Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin referred to the fact that a majority in Northern Ireland (56%) voted to stay in the EU.
He said the result, in contrast to the overall UK vote to leave, could be a "defining moment".
Mr Martin said a referendum on a united Ireland should be called, if there was evidence of sufficient support for it.
The Fianna Fáil leader made the comments as he delivered the annual John Hume lecture at the MacGill Summer School in Glenties, County Donegal.
He said the strength of the remain vote in Northern Ireland during the EU referendum may show there is a need to "rethink current arrangements".
"It may very well be that the decision of Northern Ireland to oppose the English-driven anti-EU UK majority is a defining moment in Northern politics," he said.
Mr Martin added: "I hope it moves us towards majority support for unification, and if it does we should trigger a reunification referendum."
But he also said the evidence needed to call a referendum on united Ireland was not yet available.
"At this moment the only evidence we have is that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to maintain open borders and a single market with this jurisdiction, and beyond that with the rest of Europe," Mr Martin said.
Last month, the then Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers ruled out Sinn Féin's call for a border poll on the reunification of Ireland.
She said: "The Good Friday Agreement is very clear that the circumstances where the secretary of state is required to have a border poll is where there is reason to believe there would be a majority support for a united Ireland.
"There is nothing to indicate that in any of the opinion surveys that have taken place.
"Again and again they demonstrate that a significant majority of people in Northern Ireland are content with the political settlement established under the Belfast Agreement and Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom." | The Republic of Ireland's opposition leader has said he hopes the UK's European Union referendum result will encourage support for a united Ireland. |
Summarize the passage below. | Andrei Karlov was shot by Mevlut Mert Altintas, 22, nine times as he gave a speech on Monday, apparently in protest at Russia's involvement in Aleppo.
On Tuesday afternoon, Karlov's coffin was carried across Esenboga airport's tarmac, draped in a Russian flag.
He was accompanied to a waiting plane, sent by Moscow, by an honour guard of six Turkish soldiers.
A short ceremony, attended by Ankara's top diplomats and Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Tugrul Turkes, took place before Karlov left the country for the last time.
In highly unusual scenes for a Muslim country, a Russian Orthodox priest said prayers and swung incense over the coffin, while a Turkish soldier stood holding a picture of the murdered diplomat and Karlov's widow Marina wept.
Mrs Karlova was present when Altintas opened fire on her husband, who took up his posting in Ankara in 2013.
The plane carrying his body later touched down in Moscow.
It was not clear if the gunman, an Ankara riot police member who was later shot dead in a gun fight with Turkish officers, had links to any militant group.
However, Russia and Turkey agreed quickly the assassination was an act of "provocation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin saying it was "undoubtedly... aimed at disrupting the normalisation" of bilateral ties and the "peace process in Syria".
They have vowed to work together to find out who is behind the murder of Karlov. Russian investigators arrived in Turkey to help on Tuesday.
Mr Turkes also paid his respects to Karlov at Tuesday's ceremony, describing him as the man who "has become the eternal symbol of Turkish-Russian friendship".
In his time in Ankara, the veteran diplomat, 62, who had served as Soviet ambassador to North Korea for much of the 1980s, had to grapple with a major crisis when a Turkish plane shot down a Russian jet close to the Syrian border.
Demanding a Turkish apology, Moscow imposed damaging sanctions - notably a freeze on charter flights by Russian tourists - and the two countries only recently mended ties.
Meanwhile, a senior Turkish government official told the Associated Press that the killing was "fully professional, not a one-man action" and that the attack was well-planned.
Police have arrested six people over the killing, including Altintas's mother, father, sister and three other relatives, as well as his roommate. | The body of the Russian ambassador assassinated by a Turkish policeman in Ankara has been flown home. |
Write a summary of this document. | Speaking in Armenia, she warned that the clashes "could escalate into a much broader conflict" in the Caucasus.
The two former Soviet republics fought a bloody war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990s.
A formal ceasefire is now looking increasingly fragile.
"I am very concerned by these incidents and have called on all parties, all actors, to refrain from the use or threat of force," Mrs Clinton said after her talks in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, on Monday.
"There is a danger that it could escalate into a much broader conflict that would be very tragic for everyone concerned," she warned.
The BBC's Damien McGuinness, in neighbouring Georgia, says it is hoped Mrs Clinton will ease tensions between the two countries.
The region is dependent on US aid, so Washington has much influence there, he says.
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan erupted as the Soviet Union collapsed and at least 30,000 people were killed by the time the truce was declared in 1994.
Since then, a simmering stalemate has prevailed and both sides have reported sporadic breaches of the truce.
The three Armenian soldiers were killed in clashes on Monday, Yerevan said.
It remains unclear if there were any casualties on the Azeri side.
Both sides have been building up arms in recent months and refusing to compromise.
It is hoped Mrs Clinton will at least call on both governments to tone down the rhetoric and hold peace talks.
Human rights groups also want Mrs Clinton to address alleged abuses in the region.
Azerbaijan's harsh treatment of government critics has been in the spotlight since it hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in May.
Authorities have dismissed criticism in the international press as Armenian propaganda.

The 54-year-old was found guilty of two counts of common assault against the boys, aged 14 and 15, in a food store in north London, in October 2014.
One boy had been knocked to the floor, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.
Joyce was sentenced to a 10-week jail term suspended for two years. He said the sentencing was a "fair outcome".
The former Labour MP was ordered to pay a £1,080 fine and must attend a rehabilitation course which aims to reduce violent behaviour.
District Judge John Zani said: "The events in October 2014 did you no credit.
"Your reaction to what you perceived was happening in the shop was entirely unacceptable."
Joyce was filmed assaulting the teenagers close to the drinks refrigerator in News & Food Express in Chalk Farm at about 21:40 BST on 17 October.
The court heard he threw the 14-year-old boy to the ground and held him by the throat.
The boy's friend tried to rescue him but was elbowed by Joyce and winded.
Prosecutor Jonathan Swain told the trial that it was an "unjustified and unprovoked assault".
The judge said Joyce had underplayed the violence he had used against the boys, only calling the police in an attempt to justify his actions.
The "citizen's arrest" defence he had put forward, lacked credibility, especially when compared with the store's CCTV footage, the judge said.
He told Joyce the evidence against him was overwhelming.
During sentencing, the judge acknowledged Joyce's attempts to overcome his drinking problem and urged him to restrain himself from violence.
Joyce was convicted in 2012 of four common assaults in a House of Commons bar, which led to his resignation from the Labour Party.
He was fined £1,500 for breaching the peace at Edinburgh Airport after being "threatening and abusive" on 19 May in 2013.
Speaking after sentencing, Joyce said: "In the end it was a 14-year-old boy and that is a shame and a cause of considerable remorse and I have to both pay the price and make sure I don't do it again." | US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced concern over border clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan - hours after three Armenian soldiers died in the latest skirmishes.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Chris Bryant said his constituents in Rhondda would be the ones to suffer from the economic uncertainty caused.
It follows a TV debate where Boris Johnson was accused by fellow Tory Amber Rudd of backing Brexit in the hope of becoming prime minister.
Leave campaigner Dr Liam Fox MP accused the Remain side of "sustained personal attacks" on the former London mayor.
Referring to the debate broadcast live by ITV on Thursday night, the former Conservative defence secretary told BBC Radio Wales the tactic would be "counter-productive".
"There are more than sufficient issues in this referendum," he said on the Good Morning Wales programme.
"I personally want to leave the European Union because I want to get control of our lawmaking, I want to get control of our borders, and I want to get control of our money.
"What was really disappointing from the Remain side is that they weren't making a positive case for remaining in Europe - presumably they have one - but we weren't hearing it last night.
"We were hearing the case against Boris Johnson as the next prime minister, and I thought that was a wasted opportunity."
Mr Bryant, Labour's shadow leader of the House of Commons, told the programme: "This is not about the future of the Tory party, it's about the future of our country.
"We've got a very fragile economic recovery in the UK at the moment - everyone knows that the one thing you do not want is a bout of uncertainty that always leads to another recession, and that's my biggest fear.
"In Wales it's particularly important for us because we get so much more out of the European Union than we put in, financially or socially.
"When you have uncertainty, investors stop making investment decisions and that leads to recession.
"The people who will be hit most will be my constituents in the Rhondda." | A pro-EU Labour MP has said the European referendum should be about the future of the UK, not the Tory party. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | He was jailed for four years last March after admitting three counts of rape against a child in Milton Keynes.
He was allowed to return to the Netherlands to complete his sentence and has been released after a year.
The NSPCC said his "lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking".
Upon his release, Van de Velde reportedly said: "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."
The 22-year-old also said he might consider a return to playing volleyball for the Dutch national team.
Van de Velde, who met the girl on Facebook, travelled from Amsterdam to the UK in August 2014. He raped the girl near Furzton Lake, and at an address in Milton Keynes.
The court heard he was aware of the girl's age and went to her home when her mother was out and had sex with her, taking her virginity.
The NSPCC said: "Van de Velde's lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking and we can only begin to imagine how distressed his victim must feel if she sees his comments.
"Grooming can leave a child feeling ashamed or even guilty because they believe they have somehow willingly participated when, in fact, an adult has preyed upon them in order to sexually exploit them."
Van de Velde returned to the Netherlands after the rape, but was extradited and arrested in January 2016.
It is understood that the authorities in the Netherlands do not extradite Dutch nationals without receiving a guarantee that the person will be returned if sentenced.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "It is this government's policy that foreign national offenders should serve their sentences in their own country wherever possible.
"All foreign national offenders given a custodial sentence are referred for consideration for deportation at the earliest possible opportunity."
The Dutch Volleyball Association said Van de Velde's main focus was "getting his life back on track", rather than a return to his playing career.
"For us it is too early in his process to conclude anything with regard to volleyball," a statement said.
"With regard to any future decisions to be made, we'll be guided by Dutch law," | A children's charity has condemned comments from Dutch volleyball player Steven Van de Velde after his early release from a prison sentence for the rape a 12-year-old British girl. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | The health ombudsman's report detailed "tragic" cases where people's suffering could have been avoided or lessened.
In one instance, a patient had suffered 14 painful attempts to have a drip reinserted during his final hours.
The government said improving end-of-life care was a priority.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman investigated more than 300 complaints, upholding most of them.
Its Dying Without Dignity report said it had found too many instances of poor communication, along with poor pain management and inadequate out-of-hours services.
One mother told the ombudsman how she had had to call an A&E doctor to come and give her son more pain relief because staff on the palliative care ward he had been on had failed to respond to their requests.
In another case, a 67-year-old man's family learned of his terminal cancer diagnosis through a hospital note - before he knew himself. This "failed every principle of established good practice in breaking bad news", the report said.
"There was an avoidable delay in making a diagnosis," it added. "An earlier diagnosis would have meant opportunities for better palliative care."
Ombudsman Julie Mellor urged the NHS to learn lessons from the report, adding: "Our casework shows that too many people are dying without dignity.
"Our investigations have found that patients have spent their last days in unnecessary pain, people have wrongly been denied their wish to die at home, and that poor communication between NHS staff and families has meant that people were unable to say goodbye to their loved ones."
Macmillan Cancer Support chief executive Lynda Thomas said: "The report cites heartbreaking examples of a lack of choice at the end of life that are totally unacceptable.
"If we are to improve the current situation, we will have to see a dramatic improvement in coordination of care, and greater integration of health and social care."
Chief inspector of hospitals at the Care Quality Commission, Prof Sir Mike Richards, said the organisation had seen examples of excellent end-of-life care, but also instances where it had not been given enough priority.
He said the CQC would continue to highlight those services that were failing.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "These are appalling cases - everyone deserves good quality care at the end of their lives.
"The five priorities for end of life care we brought in emphasise that doctors and nurses must involve patients and their families in decisions about their care, regularly review their treatment and share patients' choices to make sure their wishes are respected.
"NHS England is working on making these priorities a reality for everyone who needs end-of-life care."
Cooke finished third in qualification, and a top-eight finish in the final will secure his place in Brazil.
Team-mates Tom Toolis (10th) and Joe Choong (22nd) will also bid for GB's maximum allocation of two Olympic places at the weekend.
However, London Olympian Nick Woodbridge (53rd) missed out.
Cooke - a World Cup winner in February - was one of three men to make the Olympic qualifying standard a year before London 2012, but was overlooked in favour of Woodbridge and Sam Weale.
After recording the quickest 200m freestyle time in his favoured event, and impressing in his weaker fencing discipline, the 24-year-old is determined not to miss out on another Games.
"It would be amazing to get that place, but it wouldn't take the pressure off," Cooke told BBC Sport.
"We have such a strong squad that anything could happen next year, so I'll have to keep fighting all of next year as well."
Toolis secured his place in the final with an impressive run-shoot combined phase.
"It will be really different in the final and everyone will up the intensity but I'm looking forward to it and the crowd backing me up," said Toolis.
On Friday, Olympic silver medallist Samantha Murray will bid to reach the women's individual final safe in the knowledge she has already achieved the Olympic standard.
Murray's fifth place at this year's World Championships secured her a named place at the Rio Games.
However, team-mates Frejya Prentice, Kate French and Francesca Summers could yet deny her that place if they are able to achieve top-eight finishes in Sunday's final. | Thousands of dying patients are being let down by poor end-of-life care provision, the organisation that makes final decisions about NHS complaints in England has said.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said sales volumes in October were up 7.4% from a year earlier.
On a monthly basis, sales jumped 1.9% from September - a much stronger increase than economists had forecast.
October's autumnal conditions boosted clothing sales.
Paul Hollingsworth, UK economist at Capital Economics, said: "Clothing sales in particular were strong, perhaps reflecting the cooler weather prompting a re-stocking of consumers' winter wardrobes."
The ONS also said that internet sales posted the strongest growth for five years, jumping almost 27%.
"Non-store sales have surged over the last months, rising by 4.1% in September and 3.6% in October, showing no weakening in the trend away from spending on the high street to online shopping," said Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
The figures suggest consumer confidence remains robust in the face of uncertainty caused by Brexit.
The pound jumped 0.3% to $1.2478 following the data, but fell against the euro.
Stronger sales were helped by falling prices. Average store prices fell by 0.7% in October 2016 compared with October 2015 and there were falls in average store price across all store types, except petrol stations, the ONS said.
However, analysts said that the era of falling prices was set to end soon at a time of weak wage growth.
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, commented: "UK retailers enjoyed a mini-boom in October. But such spending is looking increasingly unsustainable as inflation is likely to rear its head in coming months and households are growing worried about their future finances."
Mr Tombs said retail sales growth was likely to disappoint in November as clothing sales returned to normal levels. | UK retail sales rose at their fastest annual rate in 14 years in October, bolstered by colder weather and Halloween sales at supermarkets. |
What is the summary of the following document? | The break-in happened at a rural property in the Anguston area.
The theft - which also saw electrical items taken - happened between 07:00 and 18:30 on Monday.
Police Scotland Det Insp Stephen Beattie said: "Inquiries are at an early stage and we would urge anyone who may have seen anything unusual or suspicious to contact us."
The jewellery, dating from 1450-1500, was found more than 30 years ago in a garden in Dorton, Buckinghamshire.
The owner had no idea of its value until trying to sell the pendant, when experts indentified it as medieval.
Buckinghamshire County Museum, which obtained grants to buy the jewellery, said it was an "extremely rare" find.
The gold pendant, with fine carving and traces of blue and white enamel, depicts two Christian religious images, and is thought to be a souvenir of a pilgrimage to Thomas Becket's tomb in Canterbury.
After its age was confirmed, the British Museum said it could be sold privately as it was found before the 1996 Treasure Act was passed.
Bucks County Museum was able to cover the whole £13,500 cost of buying the piece through grants from the Headley Trust, the V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Patrons of the Museum.
Museum spokesman Brett Thorn said the find was "extremely rare" and a "beautiful and fascinating little piece of Bucks heritage".
"Apart from the incredible level of skill of the craftsman who made it, it also tells us something about how important religion was to the lives of the people at that time," he said.
"To realise the fact that they would invest so much time and wealth in a tiny souvenir which no-one else would ever see, perhaps hoping for a miraculous cure, helps us understand them better."

Summarize the following excerpt. | His comments came as he arrived at Trump Turnberry for the reopening of the refurbished Open venue golf resort.
Mr Trump added his name to the Ayrshire hotel and golf course after buying the resort for an undisclosed fee in 2014.
Comedian Simon Brodkin later disrupted Mr Trump's news conference by waving golf balls with a swastika on them.
The presumptive Republican nominee was also the subject of a small protest by those who accuse him of "racism and bigotry" during his bid for the presidency.
Dozens of people, with placards stating "No To Racism", gathered outside the resort before Mr Trump arrived.
Mr Trump was asked about the EU referendum result, which saw Leave beat Remain by 52% to 48%, shortly after he touched down at Turnberry in a helicopter.
The US billionaire answered: said: "I think it's a great thing that's happened. It's an amazing vote, very historic.
"People are angry all over the world. They're angry over borders, they're angry over people coming into the country and taking over and nobody even knows who they are.
"They're angry about many, many things in the UK, the US and many other places. This will not be the last."
Mr Trump said UK divisions "will heal" as "it is a great place", adding: "I said this was going to happen and I think it is a great thing.
"Basically, they took back their country. That's a great thing.
"I think we're doing very well in the United States also, and it is essentially the same thing that is happening in the United States.
"I want to support my son who really represented me here in building this great great place (Turnberry)."
When asked his opinion on David Cameron announcing he is to step down as prime minister after the Leave vote, Mr Trump said: "Well, that's too bad."
Donald Trump is not generally regarded as a shy, modest man.
So few were surprised that despite arriving at his newly reopened Ayrshire golf course just minutes after the prime minister announced he was stepping down, Mr Trump had an eye on landing some headlines of his own.
The presidential hopeful swept off the helicopter with his name written down the side of it, at Turnberry, the golf course he has also appended his name to, and proclaimed that he had predicted the whole Brexit thing ages ago.
And in any case, it was great news - especially for anyone hoping to harness a similar anti-establishment wave in, say, a White House bid.
Mr Trump's words carry some weight, given that shortly after Mr Cameron leaves Downing Street, he could be moving in to the Oval Office.
And the massive, multinational press pack which greeted him at Turnberry even on this rather busy news day will have done nothing to dent his self-confidence.
Despite the characteristically chaotic approach - the carefully planned itinerary was changed twice, only for Mr Trump to turn up more than half an hour late to both events anyway, before he called for "ONE more question" at least a dozen times at the press conference - the media were tightly controlled throughout the event.
First we were scanned with metal detectors, then ferried to the hotel (all of 200m away) on a series of buses.
The buses were on hand again to take us just down the road to the golf course, the route keeping the media a safe distance from the handful of protesters who had gathered - just 43 of them, Mr Trump said, with a mild air of disappointment.
But then, that's life for a big-hitting presidential candidate, he assured us.
"Half of the people love you, the other half hate you," he said. "That's politics."
Speaking at a news conference, Mr Trump acknowledged his family connection with Scotland through his mother Mary MacLeod, who was born in Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides.
"She loved Scotland, she would be here a lot," he said.
"She would come every year with my sister Mary and my sister Elizabeth and they just loved it. Her loyalty to Scotland was incredible."
The billionaire said his mother would often visit Turnberry for dinner with friends but she never played golf.
He said it was "an honour" to have taken ownership of the resort, which he acquired from Dubai-based Leisurecorp two years ago, before adding his name to the brand.
Mr Trump owns more than a dozen golf resorts in the US and opened his first in the UK, at the Menie estate in Aberdeenshire, in 2012 after controversy surrounding planning, environmental issues and clashes with local people who refused to move.
In perhaps a veiled reference to those past difficulties, he praised the local politicians in Ayrshire for working with him to approve the refurbishment plans for Turnberry.
"The local politicians, and all of the politicians all throughout have been absolutely incredible," he said, adding: "They have approved virtually everything that we asked for."
Mr Trump also praised the Royal and Ancient, the ruling body in golf outside north America, for working closely while changes were made to the resort's Open course.
Turnberry is one of 10 UK golf courses to host the Open golf championship on a rotational basis.
The tournament has been played there on four occasions, most recently in 2009.
The Open is expected to be played in England in 2020 and at St Andrews in 2021, meaning the earliest it could return to Turnberry would be 2022.
Mr Trump's news conference was interrupted comedian Simon Brodkin, also known as Lee Nelson, who attempted to hand out golf balls with a swastika on them. He was escorted away by security officials.
That incident, and the protest outside Turnberry, appear to have been motivated by controversial comments from the outspoken billionaire during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
Most notable among these was his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US following the San Bernardino shootings in California.
This prompted a petition advocating a ban on Mr Trump coming to the UK, which attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. This in turn triggered a debate at a Westminster committee room, which ended without a vote being taken.
Mr Trump's comments on Muslims were described as "divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong" by Prime Minister David Cameron and "repugnant and offensive" by Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Earlier this week, two local residents began flying Mexican flags on properties surrounding Mr Trump's other Scottish golf course in Aberdeenshire.
They said they wanted to "show solidarity" with the people of Mexico after Mr Trump outlined plans to build a wall along the US-Mexico border to stop illegal immigrants.
Before Mr Trump arrived, Keir McKechnie, spokesman for Stand Up to Racism Scotland, said: "His message of hate is one that we'll challenge and we would not encourage anyone to support him in his presidency.
"We want to represent people across the whole of the UK and beyond who reject Trump's racism and Islamophobia." | US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said it is a "great thing" that the people of the UK have "taken back their country" in voting to leave the EU. |
