What is the summary of the provided article? | "We are ready to welcome him with open arms," Antonio Cerio, the mayor of Ferrazzano, told local media.
De Niro has used strong language to describe Mr Trump, saying he would like "to punch him in the face".
The actor's ancestors emigrated from Ferrazzano in 1890.
Nowadays the little town is home to 3,000 residents, and appears ready to welcome one more.
"If after the disappointment of Trump, he wants to take refuge here, we are ready to welcome him," said Mr Cerio.
"Naturally it would be an honour and give us great pleasure."
The local emigration association has suggested making the Oscar-winner president of Molise - the region where Ferrazzano lies - if only for a day.
The association noted that De Niro "is tied to his Molise origins and even speaks a good Italian-Molise dialect, even if he doesn't like to flaunt it".

De Niro, whose many hit films include Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Meet the Fockers, has both American and Italian citizenship.
"I'm going to probably have to move there," he joked on the day of the US election result.
Speaking on US talk-show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he conceded that knocking Mr Trump out was now off the table.
"I can't [punch Trump] now, he's the president. And I have to respect that position," he said. | The Italian town where Robert De Niro's great-grandparents lived has offered the US actor refuge, after he said he would move there if Donald Trump won the presidency. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | They teased out the effects of the blade's sharpness, the tension applied to the ribbon and the speed it moves.
As the ribbon bends around the blade, its outermost side stretches and permanently deforms, producing curls.
Sharper blades and slower movement make tighter curls - but the pulling force has an ideal strength, above which the curls become less pronounced.
The UK-based team will present the study on Wednesday at the March Meeting of the American Physical Society in Baltimore; it also appeared last month in the journal PNAS.
In their experiments, a thin ribbon - made in this case from a transparent PVC film - was draped over a blade and a weight was hung from the end. The ribbon was then wound onto a cylinder in order to drag it across the blade.
The team measured the width of curls produced by different weights and winding speeds - and also created a mathematical model to show that these could be explained by predictable changes in the structure of the ribbon.
Senior author Anne Juel, from the University of Manchester, said it was fairly straightforward to understand why a slower movement produces greater curling:
"It takes a certain amount of time for the stress in the ribbon to relax, and the irreversible deformation to take place."
That relaxation - or "yield" - is what leaves the ribbon curled, because the outer side of the ribbon is permanently stretched compared to the side that was touching the blade.
Similarly, then, a sharper blade increases the stretch and the yield - making tighter curls.
But putting greater tension on the ribbon, with heavier weights, only increased curling up to a point.
This, Prof Juel explained, is because the deformation can spread too far into the ribbon:
"The first part that's going to start to yield is the outermost part of the ribbon, because that's the point where the stress is going to be highest. And then as you apply larger loads, the yield is going to infiltrate deeper and deeper inside the ribbon."
Eventually, with enough pulling power, the distortion of the ribbon's structure will cross the halfway point - which dampens the overall curling effect.
"So the tightest curl will be obtained when you manage to apply a load that will bring yield to exactly half the thickness of the ribbon," Prof Juel said.
And if you're wrapping a swag of presents with a few different kinds of ribbon, she added, that optimum tension will be a moving target.
"It has to be relative to the material properties of the ribbon. So it will be different for different ribbons."
Study co-author Buddhapriya Chakrabarti, of Durham University, presented some data on the same question at a previous APS meeting; Prof Juel said she and her colleagues at Manchester contacted Dr Chakrabarti when they realised they shared an interest in the problem.
Together, they have now published the first complete physical account of ribbon curling.

Summarize the content of the document below. | Gary Corkindale, 39, and Alexander Connelly, 34, were arrested following a tip-off that a hire van parked in Possilpark, Glasgow, contained drugs.
Both men admitted being concerned in the supply of Valium.
Judge Tom Hughes QC jailed Corkindale, of Milton, for eight years and Connelly, of Craigend, for six years and four months.
The judge told the men: "Drugs is a catastrophic problem in society. Drugs cause absolute misery."
Prosecutor Lyndsey MacDonald told the High Court in Glasgow that police received a tip-off about the white Mercedes van on 26 February last year.
It had been hired by Connelly from Leslie Commercials while Corkindale was with him.
Police found the van unattended so they parked behind it so it could not be driven away.
Connelly, who drove past in a white VW Golf, watched the officers before speeding off.
Other police officers went to the hire firm to find out who had hired the van and, while they were there, Connelly phoned asking for the spare key.
Corkindale then arrived at the hire firm and asked to pick it up.
He was detained and his Peugeot was searched. In the boot was an Asda carrier bag containing 10 bags of amphetamine with a street value of £11,250.
Police opened the van using the spare key and found cardboard boxes and commercially-sealed packages containing Valium - also known as diazepam - inside.
Ms MacDonald told the court that the total maximum street value of the drugs was £376,320.
The court heard that Corkindale had previous convictions including a High Court conviction in 2012 for being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis resin. | Two men have been jailed after being caught with a van full of Valium with a street value of more than £370,000. |
What is the summary of the document provided? | In a 2-1 decision, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favour of an actress who said she was tricked into appearing in the film.
The film denounces the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud and worse.
The ruling turned on a copyright issue, not the film's content, which YouTube said did not violate its standards.
The clip from the film entitled Innocence of Muslims sparked violence in several places around the world in 2012. Dozens of people died in the Middle East during the protests.
The film has also been linked to the attack on a US diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, in which killed four Americans including the US ambassador were killed.
YouTube, which is owned by Google, had rebuffed requests to remove the film from the website, arguing only the filmmaker and not the actress, Cindy Lee Garcia, owned the copyright and thus had the authority to take the video down.
Garcia sued Google to demand the company remove the video, arguing the man behind it, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, gave her a script that referred neither to Muslims nor to the Prophet.
She said her voice was dubbed over in post-production to make it appear as though she was speaking the inflammatory words.
Depicting the Prophet Muhammad in any way defies Islamic belief and offends Muslims, let alone satirising and mocking him, as the film does.
In its ruling on Wednesday, the court in San Francisco said Garcia owned the copyright to her performance because she had agreed to appear in a film far different than the one ultimately produced.
"While answering a casting call for a low-budget amateur film doesn't often lead to stardom, it also rarely turns an aspiring actress into the subject of a fatwa," Chief Judge Alex Kozinski wrote in the opinion.
"Garcia's performance was used in a way that she found abhorrent and her appearance in the film subjected her to threats of physical harm and even death. Despite these harms, and despite Garcia's viable copyright claim, Google refused to remove the film from YouTube."
Nakoula was sentenced to a year in prison in late 2012 for violating probation in a separate case, which imposed a total ban on using computers or the internet for five years. | A US federal court has ordered Google to remove from YouTube a crude anti-Islam film which sparked deadly riots across the Muslim world. |
Can you summarize this passage? | Ellie Butler's mother, Jennie Gray, is heard to shout: "It's my daughter, she's not breathing."
A paramedic said Ellie was "cold and blue" when she arrived at the south-west London home in October 2013.
Her father Ben denies murder. Ms Gray admits perverting the course of justice by hiding or destroying evidence.
Both have denied a charge of child cruelty relating to a shoulder injury suffered by Ellie.
The pair, from Westover Close, Sutton, can both be heard on the phone during the 15-minute 999 call.
The call was made two hours after Ellie Butler suffered her injuries, the Old Bailey had been told.
Mr Butler comes on the phone and is heard swearing as he confirms the couple's home address for the ambulance, saying Ellie has "fallen down".
The child's mother broke down as the call was played in court.
First responder Sarah Hardy told the court she found Ellie in her pyjamas, lying on the floor of her bedroom, as her mother carried out CPR.
The medic said Ellie was "very cold and blue" and had no heartbeat.
When asked what had happened, she said Mr Butler told her "I don't know. I thought she was in her bedroom sleeping."
Ms Hardy told jurors she could not understand how Ellie had died until she noticed a "boggy mass" on the back of her head.
She said: "I realised the cause of death was a traumatic cardiac arrest. I had concerns as to how this had happened and called police."
A post-mortem examination revealed Ellie Butler had suffered skull fractures from at least two severe impacts.
A neighbour of the couple, Elaine Winson, described seeing a blank expression on Mr Butler's face as Ellie was taken to an ambulance.
"The mother was severely distressed and holding on to the trolley," she said. "He had no expression on his face. There was nothing."
Another neighbour Marion Cook saw Ms Gray a few days later, and said she "broke down in tears" and said Ellie "fell off her bed and hit her head on a radiator."
The prosecution said doctors ruled out an accidental fall, and put her fatal injuries down to Mr Butler either beating the girl over the head with a heavy object or throwing her against the floor or wall.
The case continues.
Palacios, 30, Sorensen, 38, and Wilkinson, 30, will leave the club when their contracts expire on 30 June.
Nine of the Premier League club's Under-21 squad will also leave, with their contracts not being renewed.

Tomi Adeloye, James Alabi, Sam Coulson, Alex Grant, Robbie Parry, Nathan Ricketts-Hopkinson, Adam Thomas, Charlie Ward and Elliot Wheeler are the development players who are set to depart.
Palacios was signed from Tottenham for £6m in 2011 but started just 14 league games as he was hampered by injuries.
Wilkinson made 194 appearances for his boyhood club, having made his debut in October 2001, while Sorensen played 129 times for Stoke in a seven-year spell.
The handwritten letter was sent to Cheadle Heath custody suite in Stockport, Greater Manchester, after the woman's two-day stay last month.
She said it was "the first time I ever had respect of police" despite "many weekend bang ups".
Staff were "surprised" to receive the letter of praise, police said.
Supt Chris Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police, said: "Our priority is to ensure [people who end up in custody] get the support they need and staff work tirelessly in incredibly difficult circumstances.
"I'm grateful this lady took the time to thank the staff and I hope her next encounter with GMP is equally as pleasant, but on the right side of the custody door."
The pair are both available for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against 12-times winners Arsenal.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Pauline Monteith travelled to Nice for a two-night holiday with her children, mother and aunt, who are both elderly.
She got a text from Easyjet on Wednesday night saying their flight home had been cancelled.
The family have spent the last day and a half trying to get to Belfast via Paris and London.
She said it was "especially distressing" for her autistic son.
Hundreds of flights across Europe were cancelled on Wednesday and Thursday as the result of a two-day strike by air traffic controllers in France.
Mrs Monteith, from Crumlin, County Antrim, contacted the BBC on Friday morning to say the family had only made it as far as London and were waiting in Gatwick airport for a flight back to Belfast.
After she got the text on Thursday, she said she tried to contact Easyjet twice without success, each time spending more than 20 minutes on a UK mobile phone. Internet access at her hotel was also poor.
"When I eventually got on to the Easyjet website there were no flights available to Belfast from Nice for the next five days that I checked," she told the BBC.
"I think it is terrible that they can just send a simple text with no advice number to contact and no accountability."
The Monteiths were due back in work and school on Monday, and had only packed enough luggage for two days.
"Luckily an English holidaymaker in my hotel came to my aid and told me to act quickly as everything was being booked," Pauline said.
The Monteiths decided to try to make their own way home and opted to take a train to London, thinking they would have a better chance of getting a flight to Belfast from there.
The five Eurostar tickets alone cost over £1,000.
Mrs Monteith said it was "pandemonium" trying to get through the Paris underground with two pensioners and her 16-year-old son.
They arrived in London at about 22:00 BST on Thursday and then had to find a hotel for the night, which cost more money.
Mrs Monteith said the extra bills had put "a dampener on the whole holiday" and said she did not know if she was entitled to a refund because of the difficulty she has contacting the airline.
She said she spent four hours online looking for an alternative way to get home and wondered how people who did not have internet access would cope.
However, the airline did allow the family to use their Nice tickets in exchange for a flight from Gatwick to Belfast, free of charge.
Mrs Monteith also said it was a useful experience for her daughter Chloe, who has just begun to learn French.
She added that because they paid £210 each for a one-way 2.5 hour train journey, her family had dubbed them "golden tickets" and intend to frame them when they get home.
In a statement, an Easyjet spokeswoman said: "We apologise that Mrs Monteith and her family were affected by this strike. EasyJet did everything possible to limit the inconvenience of this strike for passengers.
"We advised Mrs Monteith of the cancellation via SMS text and gave details within that text about how she could rearrange their flights or obtain a refund.
"For customers such as Mrs Monteith whose flights were cancelled, EasyJet offered a free of charge transfer to another flight or a refund if they preferred not to take a flight transfer.
"EasyJet also provided hotel accommodation where passengers required it and we are in direct contact with Mrs Monteith to discuss this."
The airline took more than 25,000 calls during the two-day strike and had 500 staff working in its contact centres to assist passengers in rebooking cancelled flights.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Australian Jones, 55, who has signed a four-year deal to be England's first foreign coach, wants to name a skipper to take the team to the 2019 World Cup.
"It's a role Joe would grow into and get better at all the time until he's a natural," Young said. "He's somebody the players would get right behind.
"I think he would be a great choice and would make a great England captain."
England endured a miserable World Cup campaign, becoming the first host nation to go out of the competition at the group stage, and coach Stuart Lancaster left his job after nearly four years in charge.
Jones criticised skipper Chris Robshaw during the competition but is planning talks with the 29-year-old, who was made captain by Lancaster in 2012.
Launchbury, 24, has won 28 caps since making his England debut in 2012 and was part of the squad that won two and lost two of their four World Cup group games.

"Both are very sensible, don't go chasing the limelight, don't do things that will draw attention: Joe leads from the front, and doesn't speak for the sake of it," said Wasps director of rugby Young.
"One of the greatest England captains, Martin Johnson, didn't speak for the sake of it. When he spoke people listened. I think Joe would be very similar."
Three women and one man, all in their twenties, were killed and 17 others were wounded, police said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker, who was shot dead by soldiers, was a suspected supporter of so-called Islamic State.
But the prime minister gave no evidence to support the claim.
The victims were taking part in an educational trip, the Israeli military said.
The Israel Defense Forces tweeted that their names were Lt Yael Yekutiel, 20; Lt Shir Hajaj, 22; 2nd Lt Erez Orbach, 20 and 2nd Lt Shira Tzur, 20.
The attacker, identified as 28-year-old Fadi Qunbar, came from the Palestinian district of Jabel Mukaber in east Jerusalem, near to the attack site.
CCTV footage showed the truck ploughing at high speed into the soldiers, before reversing over the victims.
"He drove backward to crush more people," eyewitness Leah Schreiber told reporters. "That was really clear."
The attack took place on the popular Armon Hanatziv promenade overlooking the walled Old City of Jerusalem.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said security had been heightened throughout the city in response.
An emergency meeting of the Israeli security cabinet approved administrative detention for IS sympathisers and authorised the destruction of the driver's home.
Mr Netanyahu visited the site of the attack on Sunday afternoon and said: "We know that there has been a series of terror attacks.
"There definitely could be a connection between them - from France to Berlin, and now Jerusalem."
Attackers in Nice and Berlin last year used the same method of driving a lorry through a crowd.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat called on residents not to "let terror win" and said militants would "pay a heavy price".
"There is no limit to the cruelty of the terrorists who are willing to use any means possible to murder Jews and to damage the life routine of Israel's capital," he said.
The US state department condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms" and the European Union also issued a condemnation.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas praised the attacker. Hamas spokesman Abdul-Latif Qanou called it a "heroic" act and encouraged other Palestinians to "escalate the resistance".
Before this latest incident, 35 Israelis had been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October 2015.
More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.
Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation.
The BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem says the number of attacks had begun to subside in recent months, but Sunday's incident is one of the most serious there has been. | Wasps lock Joe Launchbury would be an ideal England captain under Eddie Jones, says his club boss Dai Young.

McCann steered Dundee clear of relegation after his five games in charge but will return to his job as a TV football pundit.
"I fully believed he would be in charge next season," defender O'Dea told BBC Radio Scotland.
"I'm really disappointed because he was fantastic for us."
Dundee's statement announcing McCann's departure did not specify a reason but said they had continued to seek a permanent manager during his tenure.
O'Dea spoke to McCann following the announcement and believes that the 42-year-old's loyalty to the broadcaster overshadowed his desire to be a manager.
"He will be a manager, but his loyalty maybe to Sky overtook that," said the Republic of Ireland international.
"I think his reasons are solely on the fact that he had maybe agreed with Sky."
But O'Dea thought that McCann's behaviour suggested that he was planning for the future - even attending under-20s games to assess future talent.
"If you are only coming in for five games, why would you bother?" the 30-year-old told Sportsound.
"The way Neil McCann went about business, he certainly didn't come in half-hearted.
"But I can completely understand and respect his decision and all I can do is thank him."
Dundee turned to their former midfielder following the sacking of Paul Hartley after they slumped to second bottom thanks to a run of seven defeats.
They won their first two games under McCann and drew the next and O'Dea dismisses the suggestion that two subsequent defeats led the interim manager to have a rethink about staying.
"I can't answer that, but I would say absolutely not," said the Dundee captain.
"We lost a very good manager in Paul Hartley and it didn't look great for us, but Neil did a fantastic job and I really thought he would stay on.
"He did things beyond what he needed to do, which is probably the reason I thought he would stay on."
The accident happened near Grantshouse at about 15:40 on Sunday.
A Mercedes Vito van was travelling south when it was in collision with a red Scania lorry heading in the opposite direction.
The woman, who was a passenger in the van, was pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed for 12 hours for accident investigations.
Sgt Gary Taylor said: "Unfortunately a young woman has lost her life and we are currently working to establish the full set of circumstances that led up to this collision.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Bruno Fernandes, known as Bruno, was signed by Boa Esporte on Monday, just weeks after he was freed from prison.
There has been a furious reaction from sponsors and people on social media.
He was sentenced in 2013 to 22 years in jail for his role in the kidnapping and killing of Eliza Samudio but has been released pending an appeal.
His lawyers argued successfully that he could not be held in custody any longer as the courts had failed to hear his appeal within the required time.
The disappearance of Ms Samudio and the gruesome story surrounding it was widely covered by the Brazilian press at the time.
In 2010, Bruno Fernandes was a successful goalkeeper with first-division club Flamengo and had been tipped to play for Brazil in the 2014 Fifa World Cup finals.
Brazilians were shocked at Fernandes' arrest and subsequent confession that he knew that Ms Samudio had been strangled and her remains fed to his dogs.
Prosecutors said that Fernandes had had her killed to avoid paying pay child maintenance for their baby son.
Fernandes always denied ordering her killing but was found guilty not only on that charge but also of hiding her body and kidnapping their son.
The fact that he is now about to resume his sporting career with Boa Esporte after only serving part of his sentence has caused outrage among many Brazilians.
Three backers have already withdrawn their financial support for the second-division team based in Varginha, in south-eastern Brazil.
Many Brazilians said they had found it distasteful of the club to post pictures on their Twitter account of the smiling goalkeeper and club officials celebrating the new signing.
Twitter user Leandro Leite said that Bruno [Fernandes] may be the new "reinforcement" of Boa Esporte, but that if it was confirmed he hoped that the club would "disappear forever from the world of football....or better still entirely from the map".
Many others wrote that they felt it was "shameful" that a man who had had his ex-girlfriend fed to his dogs would soon appear on TV screens playing football.
Others congratulated those sponsors who have dropped the club.
Boa Esporte's website was hacked by activists who posted a text drawing attention to Brazil's high number of femicides.
But there were also those who said the club was not to blame and that Fernandes had the right to rebuild his life after his release from prison.
Boa Esporte's President Rona Moraes da Costa said in a statement published on Facebook [in Portuguese] that the club was aiding in the player's rehabilitation and that it was not responsible for his release from prison.
About 3,000 direct and indirect jobs were lost after the SSI plant closed.
The 90-page document by Lord Heseltine proposes a new development corporation as well as plans to increase tourism.
Redcar and Cleveland Council leader, Sue Jeffrey, said the area still had "huge potential".
The Labour council leader has been put on the new South Tees Development Corporation's board of local business people and local authority leaders charged with drawing up proposals for the use of the former steelworks site.
They had to "come up with a vision for that whole site about how it could be regenerated, how it can be refreshed, how we can bring inward investment and jobs and actually make the most of what is a key industrial site for the whole of the Tees Valley", she said.
The former Conservative deputy prime minister, Lord Heseltine, said he had been "slightly surprised" by the area's "can-do attitude".
"Wherever you go, you find bright, intelligent and hard working people who are determined to make a success of this place and know how to do it," he said.
Lord Heseltine wants to see more apprenticeships created, more starter homes built and a change in the industrial identity of Teesside to try to attract more tourists.
The steel works have been in the hands of receivers since the site's owner Sahaviriya Steel Industries UK (SSI) was wound up on 2 October.
The closure of the coke ovens and blast furnace saw the end of steel production at the 98-year-old Redcar works.
Lord Heseltine was asked by Business Secretary Sajid Javid to look at ways of bringing investment to Teesside after the site closed.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Tonge contacted the Metropolitan Police after spotting a large group of girls on a flight from Heathrow last Saturday.
The girls were said to be aged 11 to 17 and with their mothers or grandmothers.
It comes as Bedfordshire Police secured the UK's first FGM protection order, preventing two girls from going abroad.
The Metropolitan Police said officers from the Specialist Crime and Operations Command were investigating Lady Tonge's report.
Speaking to the BBC, Lady Tonge said the girls spoke English and were of Somali origin.
"It was just odd," she said. "They were young girls and mothers and a scattering of grannies."
They were on an Ethiopian Airlines flight to Addis Ababa on 11 July and according to the Lib Dem peer transferred onto a plane to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
Lady Tonge, along with the Labour MP for Halifax, Holly Lynch, was on a trip to the Financial Development Conference in Addis Ababa.
FGM, also termed female circumcision, is illegal in the UK. It refers to any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
It is a painful ritual carried out on women and young girls from certain communities from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Lady Tonge said that both she and Ms Lynch felt the presence of so many girls at the start of the summer holidays was "suspicious", given that it was the start of the so-called "cutting season" when FGM is carried out, and she decided to raise the alarm on her return to the UK.
Scotland Yard confirmed that police had been called by a "woman concerned about a large number of girls on a flight from Heathrow to Ethiopia on 11 July whom she believed were at risk of FGM".
That confirmation from the Met came after Bedfordshire Police said it secured a protection court order on the day new powers came into effect.
The civil legislation allows officials to seize passports from people they suspect are planning on taking girls overseas for FGM, and breaching an order is a criminal offence.
The move prevents two girls being taken to Africa, Bedfordshire Police said.
The force said it is estimated that more than 20,000 girls under the age of 15 in the UK are at risk of FGM each year, although very few cases are reported.
Det Ch Insp Nick Bellingham, from Bedfordshire Police's Public Protection Unit, said: "With schools breaking up for the summer holidays today, we will continue to use this legislation where needed to prevent young girls who we believe may be at risk from being taken out of the country.
"This is child abuse, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that children are kept safe and that those responsible are caught."Aneeta Prem, founder of women's charity Freedom Charity, said the use of a protection order was a positive step.
But she warned that the authorities must also look out for "cutters" - people who carry out FGM "for as little as £200 a girl" - entering the UK.
"We can't be politically sensitive. Girls who are mutilated in this way suffer a lifetime of scarring and permanent damage," she said.
The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act 2005 in Scotland states that FGM is illegal unless it is necessary for health reasons.
The law states that is also illegal to arrange for a UK national to be taken overseas to undergo FGM.
The order secured by Bedfordshire Police, which can be made by courts in England and Wales, was introduced under the Serious Crime Act 2015.
Equalities and Justice Minister Caroline Dinenage said the protection orders have been "fast-tracked... to make sure women and girls facing the awful threat of FGM can be kept safe".
"These orders mean girls and the communities around them now know they will have somewhere to turn, that the law is on their side and help is out there.
"The government is committed to ending FGM." | Reports that at least 50 girls were taken from the UK to Somalia for female genital mutilation are being investigated by Scotland Yard. |

He also hopes his move will improve his chances of providing competition for England's first-choice Test keeper Matt Prior.
They have a strong squad and are very ambitious to build on this season's achievement. Lancashire have a talented group of players who will be looking to challenge for all three competitions

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The figures also found a 22% rise in voided licences in 2016, compared to the year before.
Some people caught had entered the UK illegally, but most obtained a licence while on a legitimate visa and had then illegally overstayed.
However, critics say the "small" number of licences that actually go on to be surrendered "undermines" the system.
The Home Office gave the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) the powers to revoke licences in July 2014.
That month more than 3,500 licences were revoked. In 2015 it was 9,700 and in 2016 that number rose to 11,900, the figures released under the Freedom of Information Act to BBC South East show.
The driving licence is the second most recognised form of ID after the passport, so can be used by illegal immigrants to secure work, open bank accounts or sign tenancy agreements.
To make it harder for them to do any of these things, the UK Immigration Act 2014 created "hostile environment" measures for migrants in the UK.
As well as revoking licences, it introduced:
In 2015, five times more people had their licences revoked in the UK on medical grounds than those suspected of being illegal immigrants.
9,782
licences revoked because of immigration status in 2015
47,000 car and motorcycle licences revoked on medical grounds in 2015
98,000 drivers disqualified by the courts in 2015
Chris Hobbs, a former special branch officer in border controls, said: "How likely is it for that driver to be stopped bearing in mind the number of traffic police has been hugely reduced? There are all sorts of issues around stopping vehicles and asking for details, you have to have a valid reason to do that."
Asked why, on having the person's address, immigration enforcement officers did not doorstep them instead of waiting for police to pick them up during routine checks, the Home Office has yet to respond.
In the most recent report from David Bolt, the chief inspector of borders, he raised concerns over the measures.
He criticised the small number of deportations as a result of the crackdown - of the thousands who had their licences revoked, 583 people left the UK in the 2015-16 tax year.
Mr Bolt also said the small number of people physically surrendering their licences "undermines" the new system.
Since then, the Home Office has announced plans to allow police and immigration officers to search for and seize these documents.
A Home Office spokeswoman said: "This will help ensure revoked licences are removed from circulation. We are making it harder for illegal migrants to live in the UK - as these figures show."
Mr Bolt's report also stated the Home Office's database was incomplete and incorrect and its failings meant "some people without leave to be in the country were being missed", while others were "wrongly flagged" as being here illegally.

The Australian made the perfect break in the sixth frame of the match in York - the third 147 of his career.
The pair traded century breaks in the first session leaving Robertson with a 5-3 advantage at the interval.
The next four frames were shared to make it 7-5, but Robertson won three in a row to take the title.
"As a kid, you always want to make a 147 on the BBC so it was a dream come true," Robertson, who claimed the 11th ranking title of his career and second UK triumph, told BBC Sport.

Having seen Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh miss the final black on a maximum effort earlier in the tournament, Robertson went one better.
He needed to disturb a cluster of three reds to keep the break going and then kept his cool to pot the pink with the rest, before punching the air as he sunk the final black.

Please summarize the given passage. | New launches of dairy-free varieties now make up 4% of all new ice cream launches, according to market research firm Mintel.
And major brands, including Haagen Dazs and Ben and Jerry's have launched dairy-free varieties.
But they don't tend to market them as "vegan" said Mintel's analyst.
"There is consumer curiosity around dairy-free, particularly among younger people," said Alex Beckett, Global Food and Drink Analyst at Mintel.
"They perceive dairy-free ice cream to be a more permissible treat than regular ice cream."
Amid rising numbers of people switching to a diet that eliminates or cuts down on dairy-based ingredients, ice cream makers have embraced the trend, particularly in the United States.
This week Haagen Dazs launched four new flavours: chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, mocha chocolate cookie and coconut caramel.
Ben and Jerry's uses almond milk for its dairy-free flavours and has recently added caramel almond brittle, cherry Garcia and coconut seven layer bar to its range.
In contrast to sorbets, these products aim to emulate the creamy textures and flavours of a dairy-based product, something that has proved a challenge for food scientists.
They are not yet available in the UK but Mintel's report suggest there could be a market for them across Europe.
According to Mintel as many as three in 10 Italians and one in five French consumers say they are actively reducing their consumption or are avoiding dairy.
In the UK, 16% said that they, or a member of their household, avoided dairy.
Although dairy-free still represents a small slice of the overall range of new ice cream launches, at 4%, that proportion has already doubled since 2014.
However, while a growing number of people are choosing to go vegan, firms are avoiding marketing new flavours with that label, said Mr Beckett, because vegan doesn't really equate with indulgence.
"They tend not to put vegan on the packaging, because for a lot of people that would be a deterrent," he said.
Instead they are exploiting the "health halo" of plant-based recipes and ingredients such as coconut, to come across as a treat "but one you don't feel too guilty eating".
The UK ice cream market lags behind the US, added Mintel's Mr Beckett.
"In the UK we tend to follow what happens in the US and we're a few years behind in terms of ice-cream innovation.
"In the States dairy-free is booming," he said.
On that basis Mr Beckett, is predicting UK consumers will soon be offered the kind of middle-eastern-spice-influenced flavours currently in fashion in the States.
"Saffron is an edgy flavour in US ice cream parlours," he said.
"What happens in Brooklyn and LA tends to emerge in retail in the States, and then in a few years that emerges in the UK.

It quoted a source who said the heart attack could have been mild and that he could return to work in two weeks.
United Continental has been embroiled in a scandal with the New York/New Jersey Port Authority. It has been accused of maintaining unprofitable flights that were popular with politicians in return for favourable government subsidies and better airport transit deals.
Mr Munoz was appointed chief executive in a bid to clean up the company and deal with a litany of staff and customer complaints.
The company had also struggled under Mr Smisek to merge the operations of the former United and Continental airlines. | Young people worldwide are developing a taste for dairy-free ice cream which they see as a "healthier" alternative, involving almonds and coconut.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Zane Gbangbola, aged seven, died in hospital in Surrey in February 2014.
His parents had disputed post-mortem tests that found he died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to the pump.
They believed hydrogen cyanide fumes had been released from a lake built over a former landfill site. The family now wants an independent inquiry.
They have spent two-and-half years campaigning for a further investigation.
Delivering his verdict at an inquest in Woking, coroner Richard Travers said: "I find the cause of death was carbon monoxide toxicity from fumes generated by a petrol pump used by his family to clear the house of floodwater."
The inquest heard the boy's parents hired a petrol pump to clear water in their basement, which was used for up to six hours on the day he died and pumped deadly fumes into Zane's bedroom while he slept.
Zane was found unconscious in the early hours by his mother, Nicole Lawler, and pronounced dead an hour later in hospital.
Zane's father Kye Gbangbola, who had been working upstairs in another bedroom, was left paralysed and wheelchair-bound as a result of the incident.
Ms Lawler and Mr Gbangbola left the courtroom as Mr Travers disputed their evidence.
He said: "I have no hesitation that Ms Lawler and Mr Gbangbola did not want the pump to be working when Zane went to bed.
"But I cannot accept their accounts that on February 7 it [the pump] was used for no more than 20 minutes and not after lunchtime... I find it was used for six hours and stopped at 6.30pm, presumably when it ran out of fuel."
After the hearing, Ms Lawler said the inquest was "legally and evidentially deficient" and the family would request an independent, panel-led inquiry similar to the Hillsborough inquests.
"At the top of this is a deeply-loved boy. A very special little boy. The world is a much poorer place without Zane," she said.
Surrey Police said no criminal charges would be brought over the boy's death.
The prime-time show will be filmed in a "contemporary, documentary-style" and will explore their personal lives, relationships and even disappointments.
The Big Bang Theory's producer Bill Prady is behind the series.

Summarize the following excerpt. | An inspection of custody suites in May and June found most issues identified previously had "drifted or got worse".
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said it was "disappointing" that only a fifth of its recommendations had been achieved.
Lancashire Police said it would "strive" to "learn and improve".
The HMIC report identified a number of failures following unannounced inspections at Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Lancaster and Burnley.
Inspectors found there was no policy over how force was used in the custody suites and monitoring was "limited".
And CCTV coverage in cells was still not pixellated, meaning detainees had no privacy when using the toilet.
But the report praised mental health support as "particularly good" and praised staff for their "courteous and professional manner with detainees".
The inspection, the second in Lancashire, was part of a national programme looking at strategy, treatment and conditions, individual rights and health care.
HMIC said: This was a disappointing inspection. The force had failed to build on the progress we identified previously.
"With generally good treatment of detainees and mostly reasonable conditions, the fundamental building blocks remained intact. However, there was a clear need for the force to develop."
A Lancashire Police spokesman said the force was committed to ensuring that "everyone who comes into our custody is treated with courtesy and respect" and had developed new IT and CCTV systems to address concerns.
"Whilst we have previously accepted there are issues around our ability to monitor "use of force" data (resolved via the new system), we do not believe our staff in general use force itself in a disproportionate manner." | Children and adults with mental health problems are being held in custody for too long by Lancashire Police, a report said. |

The former MP for Rochester and Strood, who defected from the Conservatives in 2014, replaces MEP Patrick O'Flynn in the reshuffle.
Mr O'Flynn was involved in a public dispute with party leader Nigel Farage after the general election.
Also in the reshuffle, deputy treasurer Christopher Mills becomes business spokesman, Nathan Gill international development and Julia Reid science.
Mr Farage said: "This brings real-world experience into our top team.
"Each is an expert in his or her field and will be able to explain how their own sectors will benefit from EU exit.
"It all shows how the UKIP story has many more chapters to run".
Mr O'Flynn resigned in May and apologised to Mr Farage after calling him "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive".
The former Daily Express political journalist, who was UKIP's chief spokesman during the general election campaign, provoked a row after saying Mr Farage risked turning the party - which won one seat despite getting four million votes - into a "personality cult" and an "absolutist monarchy".
Mr Reckless lost his seat to the Conservative party in the election, polling 16,009 votes to Kelly Tolhurst's 23,142.
It was organised by Saoradh.
The parade started in the Bogside at Free Derry Corner and made its way into the Creggan estate where a wreath was laid at a republican memorial.
The march included a military-style colour party and six bands, including three from Scotland. The parade ended at the republican plot in Derry City Cemetery with speeches.
The main oration was given by Paul Duffy, a former republican prisoner, and brother of the prominent dissident Colin Duffy.
Paul Duffy said the party wanted to bring an end to British involvement in Ireland.
"These objectives have yet to be achieved," he said.
"It remains an unfinished revolution, we still have unfinished business."
The crowd was told that the party's membership had increased greatly since it was formed last September and that it was strategizing its plan for the future and its aim of an Irish socialist republic.
Known as The Elephant, because of its shape, the city's civic society had lodged the appeal in an attempt to safeguard its future.
Keith Draper, chairman of the Coventry Society, said the group was "disappointed" at the secretary of state's decision.
He said it would put the building at risk, once a new swimming pool was completed.
A £36.7m swimming pool and leisure centre, due to be built on New Union Street, is set to replace The Elephant from the summer of 2019.
Mr Draper said the fact that The Elephant was designed by a team from the city council, rather than a named architect had counted against it.
"Its location near the ring road also appears to have been a negative factor," he said.
The Elephant, completed in 1976, is linked to a 1960s building, which is already Grade II listed.
Many of the older buildings in Coventry were destroyed during World War Two and Mr Draper said it was important to preserve as many of the city's current "landmark" structures as possible.
Despite the ruling from the Department for Culture Media and Sport, he said there was a strong case for retaining The Elephant and possibly reusing it as a concert and conference venue, rather than demolishing it. | Overnight leader Mark Foster slipped back to a share of 26th place with a second-round 73 at the inaugural World Super 6 in Perth, Australia.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | In a statement on Friday, the Louth TD criticised the unionist parties and the British government.
He accused them of failing to engage positively in political negotiations.
Mr Adams said their stance meant there was no likelihood of negotiations resuming in September on the past, flags and parades.
He also claimed that anti-agreement unionists had been allowed to set the agenda.
As a result, Northern Ireland's power-sharing government was being undermined.
Mr Adams said Sinn Féin were in government because they wanted to be and unionists were in government because they had to be.
He said there had been an absence of consistent positive leadership from unionists.
"It's been stop start, stop start and now the negative elements are setting the agenda," Mr Adams said.
He again reiterated his party's opposition to welfare reform and said the changes should be opposed by a united executive.
"We will oppose welfare reform - and it isn't welfare reform, it's cuts in the entitlement of citizens, it's led by a very narrow Tory ideological position," Mr Adams said.
"The way to oppose it is for the executive to be united. We're not and should not be in dispute with the DUP, the SDLP, the Alliance Party or anybody else on this island or in this state on this issue."
Last week, it was confirmed that Stormont departments, excluding health and education, were to have their budgets cut by a total of £78m.
Finance Minister Simon Hamilton also warned that further cuts, amounting to £87m, would be required if a deal on welfare reform was not agreed.
Mr Adams also warned Secretary of State Theresa Villiers about the demand from unionists and the loyal orders for a parading inquiry.
Unionists and Orange Order leaders made the call following a determination from the Parades Commission that prevented members of Ligoniel Orange Lodge from returning along a stretch of the Crumlin Road that separates unionist and nationalist communities on 12 July.
The Sinn Féin president said if such an inquiry was established it would damage the integrity of the Parades Commission, and further undermine the Haass proposals.
The DUP's Gregory Campbell said Sinn Féin was running away from the reality of welfare reform.
"We fought welfare reform in the House of Commons, when Sinn Fein was absent, they absented themselves because they don't attend," he said.
"When that went through, against our wishes, we did get some consensus in the assembly about our DSD minister Nelson McCausland going to the government and negotiating a flexible arrangement to that our vulnerable people would be sheltered from the worst excesses of welfare reform.
"But here's the key, the absolute fundamental point that Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein seem to want to run away from, to absent themselves from, that the money tap from London, the £10m subvention we get from London, it has been reduced.
"So the £87m that we should have got we're not going to get because of welfare reform."
Justice Minister David Ford, of the Alliance Party, described Mr Adams' comments on welfare reform as "nothing but nonsense".
"In a couple of years time, if we don't deal with welfare reform then Northern Ireland will have to set up its own entirely separate welfare system," he said.
"That is a cost that will run into hundreds of millions of pounds to set up and the net result is that Sinn Féin will have to face up to reality.
"Why they can't accept reality at this point, I can't fathom."
Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt said: "In his most recent comments it is quite clear that Gerry Adams is blustering. The fact is that there are big issues which we need to face up to, not least welfare reform.
"However, rather than address them by bringing legislation to the floor of the assembly, Sinn Féin are instead effectively saying 'Brits out, but please leave your open chequebook behind you.' This is clearly not the politics of the real world." | The Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has said the Northern Ireland political process faces its greatest challenge since the Good Friday negotiations. |

Marchant de Lange (3-53) claimed three quick wickets, while Graham Wagg (2-14) and Andrew Salter (3-60) combined to dismiss Derbyshire for 160.
Glamorgan, left six overs to bat, aimed to survive but lost Jacques Rudolph lbw to the last ball from Jeevan Mendis.
Salter extracted plenty of turn in the night session, giving hope to Derbyshire's spinners, before a late assault from Mendis (27) was halted by Timm van der Gugten.
It was an unlikely few hours of action under the lights, which included the use of a nightwatchman for the third night running, setting up a fascinating finish to the first pink-ball game in Wales.
Glamorgan all-rounder Andrew Salter told BBC Wales Sport:
"They always say day three is moving day and it definitely has moved on, fingers crossed the batters apply themselves and take us to a win - it's very much in the balance.
"It was nice to have some assistance (bowling), if you bowl a good area there's rough there and that kept me in the game, but if you bowl poorly there's an opportunity to score.
"(The pink ball) has felt quite good in the hand, it feels a bit more like a white ball compared to the red ball, and at times it's felt quite soft later in the day so we've got to take these things into consideration in how we go about knocking them off."
Derbyshire batsman Luis Reece told BBC Radio Derby:
"With the wicket the way it is, being positive was a big thing we spoke about and at times it may have come across a bit frantic, but especially with this pink ball you always feel there's a ball with your name on it, you don't feel set especially with the wicket deteriorating.

Summarize the following content briefly. | Tobias Ellwood said he was not ruling out the tactic but warned it would be "hugely complicated" and could place UK forces "in harm's way".
He was responding to an urgent question in the Commons on Aleppo.
More than 120 MPs have urged the government to authorise drops of food and medical supplies.
Their demands were reiterated in the Commons as Labour's Alison McGovern urged ministers to consider the move as a "last resort".
She read out a statement from the Syrian Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, which warned that Aleppo is "in a state of emergency", with 279,000 people "under siege" for 94 days.
Mr Ellwood warned aid drops could land "in the wrong place" or "go to the wrong people", saying negotiating safe passage for land vehicles was a better option.
Given the scale of the aid that needs to get in, the number of aid drops would be "enormous", he said.
And responding to shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, who also called for air drops to be considered, he said: "She's now advocating that British aeroplanes, Hercules aircraft or otherwise, go into Syrian air space and make those drops.
"They will be shot down."
Challenged over his comments later in the debate, Mr Ellwood said there was "the possibility that a British aircraft could be shot down".
He added: "I use this opportunity to say that we are putting British air personnel in harm's way."
Mr Ellwood also referred to the first Commons vote on air strikes in Syria, which was rejected in 2013, saying the UK had "blinked" when it could have taken action.
Mr Ellwood said the government could only explore other "opportunities" with the full support of Parliament.
Ms Thornberry said nobody was "underestimating the complexity and risks involved" with air drops.
She added: "But with no alternatives, with thousands facing death if they do not get immediate supplies of food and medical equipment, these are risks we must be prepared to take."
Campbell Tweed is lambing 3000 ewes on his 1600 acre hill farm near Larne.
This is the business end of the birth season.
Thirty rams did their work months ago. Now it's up to the ewes.

Most will lamb without assistance on the hills.
But some lambs will be lost - around 10% - to infection or hypothermia.

Prosecutors say Sgt Bales left his base in Kandahar province, in southern Afghanistan in the early hours of 11 March.
They say he attacked one village, returned to the base and then went out again to attack another nearby compound.

Summarize the following piece. | The Scottish Labour leader outlined her plan for a "federal solution" for the UK in a speech to the Institute for Public Policy Research in London.
It would see extra powers for English regions as well as Holyrood via a "People's Convention" for the UK.
The SNP said Labour had been promising "federalism max" for years but had "consistently failed" to deliver.
Ms Dugdale tasked former UK justice secretary Lord Falconer with exploring a federalist approach following the UK's vote to leave the EU in June.
Her deputy Alex Rowley has called for Scotland to "move beyond narrow unionism and nationalism" and wants Scottish Labour to campaign for "home rule within a confederal United Kingdom".
Ms Dugdale has now set out her own position, saying she is "not embarrassed" to have fought for the UK in the 2014 referendum.
She said: "We are now faced with a Tory government in Westminster which looks set to force hard Brexit on the whole of the UK. And an SNP government at Holyrood which wants to exploit the divisions to win independence.
"This is the position that the majority of Scots - the moderate, pro-union Scots and also many former Yes voters - find themselves in.
"More than ever, we have two governing parties in Scotland that are out of step with what the majority of people in Scotland want. The Tories want Scotland in the UK and out of Europe, and the SNP want Scotland in the EU, but out of the UK.
"Continuing to pull our country in each of these directions risks breaking the union once and for all."
Ms Dugdale pointed out that the 1707 Act of Union still underpins the relationship between Scotland and the rest of the UK, arguing that there should be a new act "for this new century".
She said: "The time has come for the rest of the UK to follow where Scotland led in the 1980s and 1990s and establish a People's Constitutional Convention to re-establish the UK for a new age.
"The convention should bring together groups to deliberate on the future of our country and propose a way forward that strengthens the UK and establishes a new political settlement for the whole of our country.
"Some may say this is unrealistic, but it would follow the model of the Scottish Constitutional Convention which, without government support, established the basis for the settlement that delivered a Scottish Parliament in 1999.
"It would also - for the first time - provide a coherent approach to answering the question of how our country is best governed.
"I would not want the convention to just deliberate and report, but to produce a new Act of Union which would reaffirm the partnership between our nations and renew it for the future. After more than 300 years, it is time for a new Act of Union to safeguard our family of nations for generations to come."
SNP MSP Linda Fabiani, who sat on the Smith Commission on further powers for Scotland, said Labour were "singing the same old song".
She said: "Labour have been promising a supercharged, powerhouse, federalism-max for years - and consistently failing to deliver it.
"In fact it was Labour politicians that specifically blocked the powers over the minimum wage they are now asking for. This is just the latest version of the same old song.
"Billions of years from now I half expect Labour politicians to be staring into the dying sun calling for a constitutional convention."
Senior Scottish Tory MSP Murdo Fraser has spoken in favour of a federal UK with a written constitution.
However his party backs the current constitutional settlement, with party chief whip John Lamont accusing Labour of targeting "even more constitutional upheaval".
He added: "Surely 10 years of SNP government obsessing over the constitution has taught us that this is the wrong priority.
"Like everything we see with Labour right now, it is a complete mess. It is little wonder that nobody has a clue what they stand for."
Green co-convener Patrick Harvie said Labour was using "valuable time to discuss changes in the UK constitution which seem vanishingly unlikely to happen, instead of the very real and urgent threat posed by Brexit".
The Liberal Democrats are long-standing supporters of federalism, with Scottish leader Willie Rennie saying it was "good to see momentum building for this" after Ms Dugdale's speech.
He added: "Federalism is Scotland's and the United Kingdom's best chance to flourish." | Kezia Dugdale has called for a "new Act of Union" in a bid to "save the UK for generations to come". |
Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Robert Courts won by 5,702 votes, with the party's vote share falling from 60% in 2015 to 45%, as the Lib Dems surged past Labour into second.
Liz Leffman polled 11,611 votes as the Lib Dems' share rose from 7% to 30%.
Meanwhile, Labour's Tracy Brabin held the Batley and Spen seat where Jo Cox was MP before she was killed in June.
The former Coronation Street actress received an 85% share of the vote in the seat, which was not contested by other major parties out of respect for Mrs Cox, who was shot and stabbed in her West Yorkshire constituency.
Mr Courts, a barrister and local councillor, saw the Tory majority cut from the more than 25,000 Mr Cameron won in the Oxfordshire seat at last year's general election.
Labour's Duncan Enright dropped to third in the face of the Lib Dem resurgence.
He secured 5,765 votes, just under 15% - down slightly from the 17% Labour had at the general election.
Mr Courts paid tribute to Mr Cameron as "a great prime minister and a brilliant MP" for the constituency, saying he would strive to "help and represent local people".
The by-election was called after Mr Cameron stood down as an MP following June's Brexit vote and is the first electoral test for the Conservatives since Theresa May succeeded him as prime minister in July.
Mr Courts had enjoyed some heavyweight support on the campaign trail, with both Mr Cameron and Mrs May knocking on voters' doors.
The former prime minister, who had represented the constituency since 2001, congratulated his successor tweeting that he would be a "great MP".
Home Office minister Brandon Lewis said it was a "great result" for the Conservatives, which have held the seat ever since it was created in 1983, despite the reduced majority.
"You have to really look at what David Cameron got...when he first stood, which was 45%," he told the BBC.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had also visited the constituency to support Mr Enright, while Lib Dem leader Tim Farron had been out to meet voters and back Ms Leffman.
Mr Farron said the Lib Dem resurgence signalled that the party was "back in the political big time" and represented a "return to three-party politics".
"This was the 10th safest Tory seat in the country with a massive 25,000 majority, yet the Conservatives were seriously rattled," he said.
Speaking to the Today programme, Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson suggested the Lib Dem campaign had been "almost cruel" to the 100 peers it had sent to campaign in Witney for a by-election he said they "knew they wouldn't win."
Mr Watson played down his party's third-place result, saying Labour had been "highly, highly unlikely to win."
The focus for his party, he added, had been to build a local government base and to work with the many new Labour members in the constituency.
In Batley and Spen, Mrs Cox's friend, Mrs Brabin, held the seat for Labour with an increased majority as the Conservatives, Lib Dems, UKIP and the Greens did not stand a candidate.
Mrs Brabin received 17,506 votes - 85.84% of the vote and a majority of 16,537.
Mrs Cox had been elected in 2015 with a majority of more than 6,000 votes - a 43% share. The Conservatives came second and UKIP third.
Mrs Brabin, who was loudly heckled by some during her acceptance speech, said her victory was "bittersweet", adding that she hoped Mrs Cox would be proud that the community had spoken with one voice.
"This has been a difficult experience for all of us... that this by-election has had to take place at all is a tragedy," she said.
She was one of 10 candidates, who included some independents, English Democrats, BNP and National Front candidates.
The remaining nine candidates all lost their £500 deposits as they did not receive a big enough share of the vote.
Mrs Cox's husband, Brendan Cox tweeted his congratulations to Mrs Brabin, saying: "Well done @Tracy4MP & great to see all the purveyors of hate lose their deposits #MoreInCommon."
Mrs Brabin, who played Tricia Armstrong in Coronation Street in the 1990s, before appearing as Roxy Drake in EastEnders and Carole in Emmerdale, has also written for shows including Family Affairs, Tracy Beaker and Hollyoaks.
A man has been charged with murdering Mrs Cox and is awaiting trial. | The Conservatives have held ex-PM David Cameron's former seat of Witney in a by-election, but with a majority reduced by more than 20,000 votes. |
Give a brief summary of the following article. | As of March 2016, the number employed by local authorities fell by 170 to fewer than 600 compared to three years earlier - a drop of 23%.
Many of the patrols have not been replaced by cash-strapped councils after crossing assistants retired.
Road safety charity Brake said patrols played a "key role" in keeping children safe.
However, there is no legal duty for councils in Wales to provide them and many have reviewed the use of crossing staff in a bid to address budget deficits.
The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said financial pressures and recruitment issues were making it hard for councils to fill roles - with bad weather and "commonplace" abuse from drivers putting people off.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, show all but three of Wales' 22 councils saw a reduction in the number of crossing patrol staff between 2013 and 2016.
Many councils said crossings were being reassessed and scrapped when staff retired.
Carmarthenshire saw the biggest cut - with 23 posts being lost since 2013.
Road safety and traffic manager for the council, John McEvoy said: "A number of school crossing patrol sites have remained vacant for a long period of time due to difficulties with recruitment."
In Neath Port Talbot 19 posts were lost, as the council tried to address a £17.3m deficit in 2014-15. Many schools, town and community councils, now fund patrols in the area.
Seven roles have gone in Newport and the council said it struggled to recruit suitable candidates, adding it was not unusual for a vacancy to fail to attract a single applicant.
Only Monmouthshire increased the number of patrols in the period, from five to eight in March 2016, while Powys employed no-one in the period.
In Pembrokeshire - where seven posts have been lost due to retirement and ill health - the council reviewed the use of school crossings across the county, carrying out surveys to check their use.
The authority's assistant road safety officer, Sally Jones, said the review had led to plans to cut services in the region being scrapped, and no roles were cut.
A spokeswoman for Brake, said: "School crossing patrols provide a vital service by helping children cross roads safely on their way to school.
"Local authorities have a duty to promote the use of sustainable transport, especially for children on their way to school, yet the number of lollipop people are declining."
Eirlys Twigg started helping children cross the road in 1987.
Almost 30 years later, she is still guiding school children outside Ysgol y Frenni, Crymych.
Her role was under threat during the review, but she said it was saved after support from the community.
"You meet the parents, you meet the children, it's something you do in the community: you are helping the community by doing this job," she said.
"[Lollipop ladies] are very important for the safety of the children to cross to the school and even more important in the afternoon."
Cath Charlton has been helping children cross the road in Merlin's Bridge for the last decade.
When she started, her son, now aged 21, was at the school, and she said helping the children and talking to them always made her day.
"When Merlin's bridge is gridlocked and when the lanes are flooded it does get busy here, and it can be dangerous sometimes," she said.
She believes if the crossing was to be scrapped children could get hurt.
Ian McCall's men had six different scorers - Ross Docherty, Craig McGuffie, Michael Moffat, Craig Moore, Andy Geggan and Declan McDaid.
Ryan Sinnamon scored a late consolation for Annan as Ayr made it four wins out of four in Group E.
Lee Erwin scored on his Kilmarnock debut as they beat Dumbarton 3-0 to qualify as one of the best runners-up.
Ayr will now be seeded for Sunday's draw, having scored 15 goals and conceded just three in an impressive start to the season, with 11 of those goals coming in their past two games.
Kilmarnock will join their Ayrshire rivals in the second round after Chris Burke and debutant Erwin both scored their first goals for the club in the win at home to Dumbarton.
Burke headed in Dom Thomas' cross eight minutes into the second half, and ex-Motherwell winger Thomas was again the provider as Kris Boyd doubled the lead with another header.
Erwin clipped in a third with a nick off the post 12 minutes from time. | The number of school lollipop staff in Wales has fallen by almost a quarter in the past three years, figures show.

Write a summary of this document. | However, it's not possible at this stage to determine whether the compound has a biological or non-biological origin.
And contamination could still be responsible for the finding.
The results come from Curiosity's SAM instrument, and were presented at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas.
Nasa scientist Daniel Glavin described the results from the first "wet chemistry" experiment carried out by Curiosity.
A long-chain carboxylic acid, or fatty acid, was a good fit for one of the data peaks detected in a mudstone called Cumberland, he told an audience at the meeting. A long-chain alcohol molecule may also be among the compounds analysed.
The preliminary result will excite scientists because fatty acids are key components of the cell membranes found in all life forms, including microbial organisms.
Dr Glavin told an audience that the result was "provocative", and said the link to biology was the "million-dollar question". But he explained that a non-biological origin was equally plausible at this stage of the research.
One scientist commenting on the presentation suggested that contamination could not be ruled out as a cause of the signal.
The SAM team have been working to address the leak of a pre-existing chemical called MTBSTFA within the instrument.
The fact this is also an organic molecule has complicated the search for indigenous carbon-containing compounds in Martian rocks.
However, team members say they have turned the leak into an advantage, using their understanding of how MTBSTFA reacts with other compounds to identify Martian organics.
Curiosity landed on the Red Planet in August 2012, on a mission to explore Gale Crater, which billions of years ago would have held a lake.
The instrument team has previously reported evidence of chlorobenzene in the same rock, from the Martian area known as Yellowknife Bay.

Summarize the following piece. | Global demand for oil will grow by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2017, down from 1.4 million bpd this year, the IEA said.
This represents a cut of 100,000 bpd from the IEA's forecast last month.
Meanwhile, increasing supply is keeping pressure on crude prices, which have fallen sharply in the past month.
After reaching a price of above $52 a barrel in June, Brent crude fell 14.5% in July due to combination of rising stockpiles and worries about the outlook for demand.
However, prices jumped as much as 5% on Thursday following comments from the Saudi energy minister that suggested action could be taken to cut excessive production.
Brent was up 4.2% at $45.90 a barrel, while US added 4% to $43.37.
Global supply of oil rose by 800,000 bpd in July, with output from nations in the Opec oil producers' cartel rising sharply.
"Opec crude oil output rose by 150,000 bpd in July to 33.4 million bpd - holding at an eight-year high - as Saudi Arabia produced at the highest ever and Iraq pumped harder," the IEA said.
The IEA said huge amounts of stored oil was also putting pressure on prices.
"The massive overhang of stocks is also keeping a lid on prices, with both newly produced and stored crude competing for market share in an increasingly volatile refinery margin environment."
However, the IEA said that stockpiles may ease in the coming months, which could act to stabilise prices.
"Oil's drop ... has put the 'glut' back into the headlines even though our balances show essentially no oversupply during the second half of the year," the IEA said, referring to crude oil.
The agency said slowing demand growth had encouraged struggling refiners to substantially cut output for the first time since 2008-09, which would help eat into the massive overhang of petrol, diesel and other refined fuels.
It said that this could ultimately be supportive of oil prices.
"The resulting product stock draw (fall in stockpiles) will increase refiners' appetite for crude oil and help pave the way to a sustained tightening of the crude oil balance." | A weaker economic outlook means demand for oil in 2017 is likely to grow at a slower rate than this year, according to the International Energy Agency. |
Can you summarize the given article? | Suffolk One in Ipswich, which has about 1,750 students and 200 staff, has to make a 20% cut in its annual budget of £10m.
Alan Whittaker, principal, said the college has to make "tough decisions" before the next academic year.
Teaching unions said they would be meeting college bosses on Friday to hear the initial proposals.
The college opened in 2010 to provide post-16 education for children from surrounding state schools which did not have their own sixth forms.
It offers 41 A-levels and 29 vocational courses.
Mr Whittaker said: "We opened with a deficit and we did have to take some loans on and those debts have built up as funding has reduced.
"We're looking for efficiency savings across the board and we're working through those [staff redundancy] figures - there's a significant number.
"Clearly, we will be looking at the viability of courses and will have to make some tough decisions."

Summarize the passage below. | The part-timers from Gibraltar host the Scottish champions on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie.
"I think, arguably, it would be one of football's biggest upsets in Europe," the defender told BBC Scotland.
"We only became semi-professional three years ago."
Celtic in contrast, Chipolina pointed out, had been playing for many years - and "been very competitive" - in European competition.
"Everyone is excited," he said. "It is an amazing tie. The only word I can use to describe it is surreal.
"It doesn't really get much bigger than Celtic. And it's not just the club - I think the whole of Gibraltar is looking forward to this match."
Chipolina captained the Gibraltar side that played Scotland in the recent Euro 2016 qualifiers, his national team shipping 56 goals in 10 matches during the campaign.
However, as Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers prepares to lead the club competitively for the first time, the Northern Irishman is taking nothing for granted.
"They're always tricky ties," said the former Liverpool boss. "But our players have worked tirelessly over the last 20 days since we've been together and I've been delighted with the improvement of the fitness aspect of it and the tactical aspect of it.
"We've still got a long way to go, but this game presents us with an opportunity we have to take."
Red Imps defeated Flora Tallinn of Estonia to secure a visit of Celtic to the artificial surface at the 2,000-capacity Victoria Stadium.
"We've watched Lincoln play and understand they're very workmanlike," Rodgers added.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Angela Mitchell has been named as the new Head of Bell Tower.
The Minster dismissed its bell-ringers in October, over "safeguarding issues".
Mrs Mitchell, a member of the former bell-ringing team, said she applied for the job to ensure the Minster's "magnificent bells ring out again each Sunday and for other key occasions".
The bells at the cathedral have only been rung intermittently since the mass sacking, including at the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols in December.
Mrs Mitchell, who has been appointed on a 12-month contract, added: "The recent history of bell ringing at the Minster has been difficult and there is some healing to do.
"However I am really looking forward to working with the new team and I hope that the news of my appointment will help to move things forward."
A spokesperson for the Minster said: "One of Angela's first tasks will be to help recruit and establish the Minster's new band of volunteer bell-ringers.
"The Minster received applications from 42 bell-ringers from York and the wider region with more than three quarters of the applications coming from members of the previous band."
Recruitment and induction of the new ringing team is due to take place this summer and it is hoped the team will fully up and running in the early autumn. | York Minster has appointed a new head bell-ringer, eight months after the cathedral's entire volunteer ringing team was sacked. |
Summarize the provided information. | Roberta Brooks added the work at her Holyhead property caused thousands of pounds' of damage which has not been repaired.
She said contractors regularly left her gates open, with horses escaping.
Welsh Water said it sometimes needed to cross private land but liaised closely with landowners.
It added it was "committed to working" with Ms Brooks to resolve the matter and appreciated her cooperation.
Ms Brooks said she received assurances before the work began, in December 2015, that any damage would be repaired - but she has had to obtain quotes for the repairs herself to submit to Welsh Water and the work has still not been done.
"I've been banging my head against a brick wall for months," she said.
She was given £1,500 in compensation, but says her costs have risen thousands above this figure.
Ms Brooks estimates she has lost £3,620 in rental income from people keeping their horses on her land, and if she ends up footing the bill for the damage caused too, her costs could reach £10,000.
She has also experienced flooding since the work was completed and is no longer able to use one of her paddocks.
"I don't think I've made any money [since the work began]," she said.
"Any money I make over summer goes towards sustaining me over the winter, everything I make goes back into the land."
Ms Brooks said her clients removed their horses from her land after she had to inform them contractors left gates open meaning horses could mingle - potentially risking their health. She also had to rescue some which were heading towards the road.
"When the gate was first left open to the road I contacted Welsh Water and they said it wouldn't happen again, but it happened time and time again.
"In the end they stopped returning my calls," Ms Brooks said.
She added Welsh Water had changed their plans from the drawings originally submitted to her, seen by BBC Wales, and rather than just laying a pipe had also installed taps, a water outlet, manhole covers and a gate.
A Welsh Water spokeswoman said: "One of our main priorities at Welsh Water is to provide our customers with a reliable supply of clean, fresh drinking water.
"That is why last year we invested over £1m in replacing 4km of water main in Holyhead, Anglesey.
"To help us achieve this, we sometimes need to cross private land. In these circumstances, we always liaise closely with all relevant landowners in advance of the work starting.
"We are aware of the issues raised by Mrs Brooks and continue to liaise with her regarding the matter. We have requested additional information and will review this as soon as it has been received." | The owner of stables on Anglesey has said she lost nearly £4,000 in income due to Welsh Water installing pipes on her land. |

Clint Dempsey put USA ahead on 29 seconds with the fifth-fastest goal in World Cup history, cutting inside John Boye before sweeping home.
Ghana upped the tempo and equalised when Andre Ayew latched on to Asamoah Gyan's backheel to fire in a leveller.
"One of the moments of the World Cup for me was the reaction of John Brooks for the winning goal. That was priceless. That is what the World Cup is all about.
"The way Ghana conceded the corner kick that led to the USA winner was poor. In these games, you can't do that. They are in trouble. They still have to play the big dogs in the group."
USA looked tired but Brooks nodded in from six yards following a corner to give his side a winning start.
Centre-back Brooks reacted with a mixture of disbelief and delight, the Germany-born 21-year-old marking his Fifa World Cup debut and fifth cap in style.
The victory also gave USA a measure of revenge for being knocked out of the past two World Cups by Ghana.
They had looked to be tiring, and a winner seemed unlikely as Ghana dominated the second half and pulled themselves level.
But their tenacity was rewarded to leave the Black Stars precariously placed, with both teams having to face Germany and Portugal.
Ghana exited the World Cup four years ago in tears, when Gyan's missed penalty in the last minute of extra-time against Uruguay denied them the chance to become the first African side to reach the semi-finals.

If they were still nursing that pain, they did not show it as they sang and danced their way into the dressing room at the Estadio das Dunas.
But they fell behind within the first minute. Dempsey collected a Jermaine Jones pass on the left wing, cut inside right-back Boye and shot into the far corner.
Ghana struggled to mount a response as the USA consolidated their lead with a work-rate and organisation that kept their rivals at bay.
Indeed, Jurgen Klinsmann's side could, and maybe should, have extended their lead. Striker Jozy Altidore controlled a low, right-wing cross but his shot from 10 yards was blocked by Boye.
That was Altidore's last major act of the game, a hamstring injury seeing him replaced by Aron Johannsson.
USA centre-back Matt Besler also left the field injured, and his exit, combined with Ghana increasing the pace of their play, resulted in the Black Stars piling the pressure on Tim Howard's goal.
Most of the chances fell to Gyan, but he nodded high from 10 yards when unmarked before having another header tipped wide by Howard.
Gyan may not have scored, but he set up his side's equaliser as his lovely backheel teed up Ayew to shoot home with the outside of his right foot.
It seemed Ghana might have enough time to engineer a winner, but Hertha Berlin defender Brooks had other ideas, and his first international goal following Graham Zusi's corner proved decisive.
United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann:
"I said to the bench a few minutes before our winner, 'We are going to get some chances - we need to push and grind it out.' We trained over and over on set-pieces and it was well deserved.
"We have a great spirit and fight until the last minute. It was a grind but it was a wonderful one at the end of the day.
"There is stuff we need to improve. We had problems with keeping the ball."
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah:
"What I can say is that it was a very tough game. Playing at this high level, any little mistake can cost you dearly.
"We didn't deserve the first goal against us and we did create a lot of chances.
"Unfortunately we could not take our chances and the US took theirs.
"Any loss of concentration can cost the team big time. I believe the first goal unsettled us a little bit but I never expected it to end this way."

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Isle of Wight Council says it is introducing the 40p return charge for the Cowes Floating Bridge in "response to the national austerity agenda".
The charge, which will begin on 20 July, was agreed by councillors in February, despite protests and a social media campaign.
Motorists already pay between £1.30 and £7.50 to use the crossing.
Travel will continue to be free for concessionary bus pass holders and under-19s but other users will pay 40p for a return trip.
Tickets will initially be available from ferry staff but a mechanised system will be introduced in February 2016, the council said.
A smartcard-style system will be launched later this year and those not obtaining a smartcard will have to pay 70p return.
Isle of Wight Council has implemented £14.5m of budget cuts for 2015-16.
Economy and tourism councillor Shirley Smart said: "It is well known that the council is under severe financial pressures and we must do all we can to raise income from services for which we do not have a statutory requirement to provide."
The 38-year-old ferry linking Cowes and East Cowes, known as Cowes Floating Bridge, is due to be replaced.
The council said the charges would help fund the new vessel.
The service has been in operation since 1859. | Pedestrians and cyclists using a chain ferry on the Isle of Wight will have to pay from next month. |

Can you summarize the given article? | British-born Wintour, 67, has been the editor of American Vogue for almost 30 years.
With her trademark bob and dark glasses, she has earned a reputation as one of fashion's most influential, and formidable, commentators.
Wintour, named in the New Year Honours list, spoke briefly to the Queen at the ceremony, smiling broadly.
The Queen struggled to attach the insignia to the editor's pink belted Chanel outfit: "She couldn't find where to put the brooch," said Wintour.
"I congratulated her on Prince Philip's service because obviously that's so remarkable and such an inspiration to us all," the fashion editor told reporters.
The ceremony at Buckingham Palace also saw James Jones, the former bishop of Liverpool, knighted for his work with the families of the Hillsborough victims.
The 68-year-old, who is now assistant bishop in the Diocese of York, chaired the panel which saw the eventual release of files relating to the 1989 disaster.
The Times political cartoonist Peter Brookes, 73, received a CBE for services to the media and singer Marty Wilde - a rock'n'roll star who rose to fame alongside Sir Cliff Richard in the 1950s - received an MBE for services to popular music.
Wintour, who was raised in London to a British father and an American mother, was formerly editor of British Vogue, before taking the helm at its US sister publication in 1988.
She is credited with having turned American Vogue into one of the world's top fashion publications, where her no-nonsense style of micro-management earned her the nickname 'Nuclear Wintour'.
She is widely assumed to have been the inspiration for the character of Miranda (played by Meryl Streep) in the hit film The Devil Wears Prada, which was based on a book written by her former personal assistant, Lauren Weisberger.

Can you summarize this content? | The council had proposed to build an incinerator at Saddlebow, King's Lynn, but the project was scrapped earlier this year at a cost of £33m.
Labour council leader George Nobbs said the site would not be sold or rented to any company to build an incinerator.
The council is now to develop a strategy to recycle and reuse waste.
Mr Nobbs, who heads an alliance of Labour, Lib Dem and Ukip councillors supported by the Greens, said: "Land in different parts of the county would be set aside for waste disposal use.
"But there is no intention of building an incinerator anywhere in the county."
The scheme to incinerate waste from across Norfolk to generate energy and reduce the need for landfill was spearheaded by the county's former Conservative administration .
When the party lost control of the authority in 2013, councillors voted to withdraw from the scheme following delays in obtaining planning permission, due to the scheme being called in by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles.
The cancellation of the contract cost the authority more than £33m in compensation to contractors Cory Wheelabrator.
Conservative councillor Bill Borrett said the waste disposal issue in Norfolk was still not resolved and a solution had to be found that did not involve landfill.
The Conservative-run West Norfolk Council had opposed the incinerator plan and celebrated alongside the local protest group King's Lynn without Incineration when the project was abandoned. | Norfolk county councillors have voted to stop the sale of an axed waste incinerator site and ruled out burning as a future method of waste disposal. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | Teenagers rarely meet online but do use technology for flirting, asking out, meeting up and parting, American think tank, the Pew Research Center, found.
A survey of 1,060 US teenagers aged 13 to 17 revealed that technology brings them closer but also breeds jealousy.
"Digital platforms are powerful tools for teens," said Amanda Lenhart, lead author of the report from Pew.
"But even as teens enjoy greater closeness with partners and a chance to display their relationships for others to see, mobile and social media can also be tools for jealousy, meddling and even troubling behaviour."
Of the 1,060 teenagers surveyed:
What gets discussed during all those frequent social media enabled check-ins?
According to the survey, it is mostly "funny stuff" followed by "things you're thinking about" as well as other information such as where they are and what their friends have been doing.
And forget having to meet up to resolve a conflict - 48% of dating teenagers said that could be done by texting or talking online.
Online tools, with their accessibility and ease of use, also showed some signs of giving this group relationship anxiety.
Females are more likely to be subject to unwanted flirting and 25% of teenagers surveyed said they have blocked or unfriended someone because of uncomfortable flirting.
And 15% of teenage daters said a partner had used the internet to pressure them into unwanted sexual activity.
Nearly half the respondents admitted to concentrating on their phone ahead of their partner when together with 43% of dating teens saying that had happened to them.
"I don't think this survey reveals much that is surprising. But it is affirming. Humans are social animals and we build tools to connect with each other," wrote Julie Beck, an associate editor at The Atlantic news site, of the survey's findings.
"It's not all heart emojis all the time, no, but the tools that facilitate relationships facilitate all aspects of them, good and bad.
"Connecting with others is scary, hard, sometimes dangerous, but usually, hopefully, good. The teens get it."
Unite's Len McCluskey said "an enormous surge" of people wanted to take part after Mr Corbyn was confirmed as running "because people are inspired".
Mr McCluskey accused the "ruling elite" of "trying to rubbish" Mr Corbyn.
The veteran only got enough support to enter the race thanks to some MPs wanting "to broaden the choice".
"Unite have already signed up 50,000 affiliate supporters to Labour and they are joining every day. And we will be doing a lot more than that," Mr McCluskey told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight.
He said that those who thought Mr Corbyn was "marginalised" should "watch this space".
"I know the people who will be uncomfortable, despite the fact that they are saying the opposite - and that's the ruling elite," he said.
"They try and rubbish it, they try to turn it into a joke, but secretly they will be worried sick that ordinary people are suddenly given something to inspire them and something to link onto," Mr McCluskey said.
Asked explicitly if the Labour leadership race would have been boring without Jeremy Corbyn in it, the Unite leader shouted: "Yes."
Despite only getting enough MPs to back him with minutes to spare before the nomination deadline last month, the momentum Mr Corbyn's campaign is gathering is worrying some within the party - who wonder how a strong performance from him might be perceived by the wider electorate.
On Friday, a newsletter sent by the group Labour First appealed to supporters of Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper not to endorse Mr Corbyn in any way.
Luke Akehurst, the group's secretary, said: "We clearly do not share Jeremy Corbyn's politics and believe these would destroy Labour's chances of electability."

Can you summarize this content? | Sutton, 34, told BBC Sport he is a victim of probability and assumption.
Suspicious betting patterns were reported after he lost 6-0 to Jamie Burnett in an International Championships qualifier last year.
"Straight away I gave over my phone, email account and my bank details as I had nothing to hide," Sutton said.
There is no suggestion Burnett was involved in any wrongdoing.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) ruled last week that Sutton was guilty of match-fixing and misusing inside information following an earlier hearing.
Irishman Sutton said he was given 10 days' notice of his invitation to the match in question, and that he felt unwell during the game after a long weekend with friends in Tipperary.
"During the match I knew I was struggling and was trying so hard to get something going but just felt empty and weak," he said.
The father-of-four from Drogheda added: "I will absolutely be appealing this.
"I honestly feel that I am being made a scapegoat as I'm a nobody in the world game. They can afford to brush me aside while being seen as flexing their muscles by showing zero tolerance for breaches of the rules.
"If there's evidence then [they should] make it a criminal case.
"I am a youth group leader in the local community and my wife and I are also trying to get on the list to become foster parents, both of which have had to be stopped because of these findings."
Sutton, who faces a lengthy ban, believes he came under suspicion as two men who placed big wagers on him to lose each practise at his local snooker club.
"They are not friends of mine but I do know them," Sutton said.
"They had another snooker bet on the same day and lost over £4,000 but this was not mentioned.
"Straight after the game I was called into the tournament director's office and it was explained to me about the suspicious betting patterns.
"The amount of anger and disbelief I felt cannot be described.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | The Toffees have rejected at least one £20m bid from Chelsea for 21-year-old England international Stones, with United also thought to be interested.
"If he goes to Chelsea, he's not playing every week," said Ferdinand.
"If you tell any young footballer to leave a club to sit on the bench, you've got to be a lunatic."
Since joining Everton from Barnsley in 2013, Stones has made 44 Premier League appearances and earned four England caps.
Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has said he is determined to keep hold of the centre-half.
Ferdinand added: "He's at that stage of his development where he wants to play every week.
"If he goes to Manchester United, he plays every week so that's the right club for him."
Ferdinand, who played 453 times for United, believes Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal needs defensive improvements.
United have Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett as central-defensive options, while Daley Blind also played there during pre-season.
"I don't think Van Gaal knows his best defence - that's a problem in itself," said 36-year-old Ferdinand, who retired at the end of last season.
"Part of the reason he doesn't know it is because he hasn't had a chance to watch them all play over a long time - consistently for 12 or 15 games.
"If you don't get that familiarity between you as defenders, it's difficult to build foundations." | Everton defender John Stones should join Manchester United instead of Chelsea, according to former Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand. |
Please summarize the document below. | The Everton defender's withdrawal leaves Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs as the only left-back available for Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia at Wembley.
Manchester United's Luke Shaw was part of the original 26-man squad but was not retained when it was cut to 23.
England face Scotland in a friendly at Celtic Park next Tuesday.
Uefa regulations do not allow Shaw to be added to the squad against Slovenia, but he is eligible to play against Scotland.
England manager Roy Hodgson suggested that Baines's injury might be "something which has been niggling away because Everton have played a lot of games recently".
Hodgson also expressed frustration that he was not allowed to restore Shaw to the squad, saying: "My hope was that Uefa would look at it and show some flexibility but they decided that the rule was the rule."
Baines, 29, was England's first-choice left-back at this summer's World Cup in Brazil and has started three of their four matches since the tournament. He has won 29 caps.
Gibbs played in the 5-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win over San Marino at Wembley in October, his fourth England appearance.
Midfielders Andros Townsend and Michael Carrick withdrew from the squad this week with ankle and groin injuries respectively.
Baines's injury will concern Everton manager Roberto Martinez, who is missing defenders John Stones and Antolin Alcaraz with ankle and shoulder injuries respectively, while reserve left-back Bryan Oviedo has recently returned from a broken leg.
The money will be used for research into hydrogen-based renewable energy technologies.
Known as the Gencomm project, it will involve a partnership with other educational institutions and companies in Ireland, France, Germany and Belgium.
Funding is from the Interreg North-West Europe programme.
It supports cross-border research partnerships among the EU's north western countries.
The Gencomm scheme aims to help remote communities in the region produce and store renewable hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be used in fuel cells where it reacts with oxygen which produces energy that is used to generate electricity.
Gencomm will develop three pilot facilities fuelled by solar power, wind power and bioenergy to measure their ability to produce and store hydrogen.

Jack Crocker, 41, of Chacewater, Cornwall, and Robbie Long, 21, of Redruth, were given suspended sentences after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
Crocker encouraged his saluki dog to attack and kill the fox on his farm in June, Bodmin Magistrates' Court heard.
The RSPCA became aware after films of the incident were posted by Long.
The court heard how the young fox got into a barn where chickens and a pet rabbit were kept.
A video filmed by Long, of Lower Tolgullow Vean Farm, showed the dog, called Lady, being taken into the barn by Crocker, where it found the fox and gripped it around the neck.
The fox then appeared to escape and jumped into a neighbouring barn.
A second video showed Crocker, of High View Farm, taking the dog into the second barn and pushing it towards the fox, prompting it to carry out a two-minute attack, during which the fox died.
Judge Diana Baker said: "The fox went on to the land voluntarily. He [Crocker] had the right to protect his animals and to dispatch the fox, but he had to do so humanely.
"The DVD clearly shows him encouraging the dog to attack the fox. Most concerning there were howls of laughter during the two minutes.
"This action is deliberate and cruel."
The men have not been disqualified from keeping animals but two dogs have been removed from the farm.
Crocker had previously pleaded guilty to shooting a wild rabbit with a bow. This also only came to light when the RSPCA became aware of a photo on Facebook.
Both were given six-week jail sentences for causing unnecessary suffering to the fox, and Crocker received an additional two weeks for the bow offence.
The sentences are suspended for 12 months.

Summarize the information given below. | Many were surprised, citing his history of faux pas including insulting the president of Turkey and commenting on the US president's ancestry.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said in a radio interview Mr Johnson was a liar with "his back against the wall".
One EU source told the BBC: "Everyone in the European Parliament thinks it's a bad joke and that the Brits have lost it."
Boris Johnson: How Britain's new foreign secretary has insulted the world
New UK government: Who's in and who's out?
Here we take a look at the response in countries where Mr Johnson will now represent the UK.
The Washington Post publishes a round-up of "undiplomatic" things Mr Johnson has said during his time in public life.
"To be sure, Johnson is an unusual candidate for the job. The former journalist is known for his deliberately provocative manner, ruffled appearance and penchant for sometimes-insulting commentary," it says.
It reminds its readers that just two months ago, "a poem he concocted about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan having sexual congress with a goat won the first-place prize in a contest sponsored by Spectator magazine."
Washington Post writer Ishaan Tharoor also writes that Mr Johnson "has controversially bucked the Western trend and praised Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for battling the Islamic State, no matter its parallel campaign of violence on Syria's civilian population".
"A Short History of Boris Johnson Insulting Foreign Leaders" is how the website of American culture and politics magazine, The Atlantic, reports the story of Mr Johnson's comeback.
"The brash and flamboyant politician, the UK's new foreign secretary, is one of the more cosmopolitan figures on the world stage - but he's also one of the least diplomatic," it says.
Apparently stifling a laugh on hearing the news of Mr Johnson's new job, state department spokesman Mark Toner said the US would always work with the UK because of the "special relationship" between the two countries.
"This is a relationship that goes beyond personalities and it is an absolutely critical moment in England's history but also in the US-UK relationship," he says.
In comments to Europe 1 radio, Mr Ayrault said: "I am not at all worried about Boris Johnson, but... during the [referendum] campaign he lied a lot to the British people and now it is he who has his back against the wall."
Newspaper Le Figaro says Mr Johnson "gives the impression of being guided by opportunism".
The newspaper says the UK's new foreign secretary's political career has seen him change his mind on gay marriage and on Turkey joining the EU.
Pierre Jova writes in the paper: "Although, he has a 'clown' image which delighted the tabloids with his antics and punchy statements, he was a comrade of David Cameron at Eton and Oxford and is a pure product of the British conservative aristocracy raised to govern."
Ralf Stegner, deputy leader of the SPD party, said: "[Prime Minister Theresa] May seems to be weaker through making such an appointment." He said Mr Johnson had hardly demonstrated that he was an outstanding diplomat. "Now he is negotiating Brexit. Have a nice trip."
Green Party leader Simone Peter said it was "not a good signal" if Mr Johnson "inflicted his capricious and monstrous approach" on Europe.
Der Spiegel took an editorial line against Brexit and published a "Please don't go" issue aimed at the UK in the run-up to its EU referendum.
The news magazine (in German) calls Mr Johnson a "controversial politician" and notes that his decision to support a Leave vote was a deciding factor in the referendum campaign, which Leave won with 52% of the vote.
One of its columnists, Jakob Augstein, commented: "Haha! Boris Johnson as foreign minister. I can't stop laughing. The Brits are crazy."
The German journalist Laura Schneider points to a certain amount of mirth on television as presenters announce Mr Johnson's new role.
Under the headline: "Why the disloyal jack of all trades is not the absurd choice", Die Welt thinks it knows why Mrs May appointed him.
"He described Hillary Clinton as a "sadistic nurse", compared the EU with Hitler. And now Boris Johnson is the British foreign secretary. But the new prime minister is pursuing a plan… she [Mrs May] incapacitated her anti-EU critics by making them accountable. Now Brexit advocates must ensure that the exit succeeds," it says.
The deputy editor of Germany's biggest tabloid, Bild, Nikolaus Blome, tweeted: "There's justice after all. As foreign minister, Boris Johnson, now has to lie in the bed he made himself."
The head of the Russian State Duma's foreign affairs committee, Aleksey Pushkov, tweets that Mr Johnson's predecessor, Philip Hammond, has "painful anti-Russian complexes" that he hopes Mr Johnson does not share.
Mr Hammond said last year that Russia had the potential to be "the single greatest threat" to UK security and that President Vladimir Putin was "bent not on joining the international rules-based system which keeps the peace between nations, but on subverting it".
The Russian news website ria.ru calls Mr Johnson "one of the most eccentric politicians in the UK" and says he "knows how to surprise".
A Turkish official suggested Ankara would draw a line under Mr Johnson's previous remarks.
"His negative comments on Erdogan and Turkey are unacceptable... However we're sure of one thing, that British-Turkish relations are more important than that and can't be hostage to these statements," he said.
Speaking before Mr Johnson's appointment, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the former London mayor had made an "unfortunate statement" when he used Turkey's accession to the EU negatively in the referendum.
Asked what he would like to say to Mr Johnson, he said: "May God help him and reform him."
The pro-government Daily Sabah described the new foreign secretary (who has Turkish ancestry) as being "anti-Turkey" and said he had "sympathy for the PKK".
Pro-government newspaper commentator Selim Atalay sent a tweet to Johnson saying: "Dear @BorisJohnson I understand you need well-versed apologies in Turkish. I can help you with that. PS: Turkish roots-card won't work. Cheers."
Sydney Morning Herald foreign editor Maher Mughrabi writes that Boris Johnson has been "removed from Conservative Party plotting at Westminster and allowed to get on with being a travelling circus". The rest of the world, he says, can rely on Mr Johnson to "confidently lecture people of many nations on their own histories and cultures".
Former prime minister Tony Abbott takes a more benign view:
The former prime minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt, tweets that he wishes the appointment were a joke.
MEP Fredrick Federley tweeted: "Trump, Brexit, Pokemon Go, Boris Johnson. Oh lord, what horrors will you bring us tomorrow?"
Czech MEP Pavel Telicka tweeted: "People say PM May does not have a sense of humour. By appointing B Johnson she proved the opposite."
Financial news website kurzy.cz describes the appointment of Mr Johnson as "at the very least questionable and very surprising. She has appointed to the post of foreign minister one of the leaders of Brexit, former London mayor Boris Johnson, who is famous, among other things, for his often extremely 'undiplomatic' conduct." | Newspapers and politicians around the world have been reacting to Boris Johnson's appointment as UK foreign secretary. |
Summarize this article briefly. | Hundreds of deaths could be avoided every year with a minimum price for alcohol units, researchers estimated.
The Department of Health said it was "taking action to tackle cheap and harmful alcohol".
It added that it was working with industry to promote responsible drinking.
A minimum price of 45p to 50p per unit of alcohol would save hundreds more lives than current government policy, University of Sheffield researchers said.
The current ban on below-cost selling, which came into force in May, stops retailers from selling alcohol below the cost of duty and VAT.
The ban will save an estimated 14 lives and 500 admissions to hospital per year, the researchers said.
However, a minimum unit price of 45p could save 624 lives and 23,700 hospital admissions each year, they said in a BMJ publication.
Most of the harm reduction would happen for the 5.3% of people who are harmful drinkers, the researchers said.
While the ban on below cost selling will reduce harmful drinkers' mean annual consumption by just 0.08%, or around three units per year, a 45p minimum unit price would reduce consumption by 3.7%, or 137 units per year.
In addition, the researchers estimated that the ban only increased the price of 0.7% of alcohol units sold in England, whereas minimum unit pricing would increase the price of 23.2% of units sold.
The Department of Health said it was "already making headway by removing a billion units from the market over three years."
"Alcohol-fuelled harm costs society £21bn a year and we are determined to reduce this burden to taxpayers," a department spokesperson said.
"We are taking action to tackle cheap and harmful alcohol such as banning the lowest priced drinks. We are working with industry to promote responsible drinking," the spokesperson added.
The government considered bringing in a minimum alcohol unit price in 2012, but rejected the policy in July 2013, saying there was not enough "concrete evidence" that it would reduce harm.
Instead a ban on below cost selling was brought in to try to end the practice of supermarkets using drink as a loss-leader - selling drinks at below the cost they pay themselves.
Nonetheless, the government is still considering minimum pricing as a policy.
A Scottish government plan to introduce a scheme to set a minimum price per unit of alcohol is currently on hold because of legal challenges from the drinks industry.
Steve Tyler, of the Gin Tub, blames social media for "killing pubs".
He has built an electronic shield, known as a Faraday cage, into the walls and ceiling to stop the signals penetrating the building.
But one social media expert suggested the move would not attract younger drinkers to the East Sussex bar.
Mr Tyler said he wanted to force "people to interact in the real world" and remember how to socialise.
"If the person you are with goes to the bathroom, the problem with mobiles is they insulate you from talking to other people," he said.
"I want you to enjoy the experience of going out."
The tables at the bar, in Hove, East Sussex, feature old-style phones for drinkers to call for another round or chat to people on other tables.
But, social media expert Zoe Cairns said: "Mobile phones are every part of our life now and if we go into a bar, a club and we are looking for our phones, it does take away that socialising aspect of it.
"But I do believe [the idea] is going to isolate that particular generation."
The Faraday cage, a metal construction which traps electromagnetic waves, is named after 19th Century British scientist Michael Faraday.
Not only does it affect mobile signals, any device containing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip, such as a passport, travel card or credit card, is unable to receive or transmit data.
Mr Tyler claimed use of the cage was permitted under the 2006 Wireless Telegraphy Act, unlike phone mobile jammers, which transmit their own signal to prevent a handset accessing its base station. | Introducing minimum pricing for alcohol would be up to 50 times more effective than current government policy, according to health researchers.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The 53-year-old has been in caretaker charge since Claudio Ranieri was sacked on 23 February, nine months after winning the Premier League title.
Shakespeare, who has never managed full-time, was Ranieri's assistant after being brought to the club by the Italian's predecessor, Nigel Pearson.
Leicester have won both of their games with him in charge.
Foxes vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: "We always knew the team would be in good hands when we asked him to take charge a fortnight ago.
"He has initiated the type of positive response that we hoped change would bring, showing great leadership qualities and composure under considerable pressure to produce two very important results.
"We have asked him to continue to lead the team this season and we are very happy that he has accepted."
Shakespeare's first match as caretaker manager was a 3-1 league victory over Liverpool, and they beat Hull City by the same scoreline.

There are interesting challenges ahead of Shakespeare now - trying to get into the quarter-finals of the Champions League while trying to stave off Premier League relegation.
He made no bones about wanting the job. The players and the fans, in a local newspaper poll, were overwhelming in favour of him getting the job until at least the end of the season. So let's see what sort of fist he makes of it.
He knows very well that stepping up from the number two role is light years away from letting someone else take the unpopular decisions and determine the tactics.
So will he manage to step back from his previous, harmonious working relationship with the players and show a tougher edge?
Will Shakespeare make the grade, so he gets the job beyond this season, or will he be another Sammy Lee or Brian Kidd?

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Salah Abdeslam appeared to be wearing a suicide belt, one of the men who drove him back to Belgium after the attacks told his lawyer.
Friends told ABC News that they believed he was in the Brussels area and trying to get to Syria to join Islamic State militants.
IS has said it was behind the attacks that killed 130 people.
A manhunt has been under way for more than a week for Abdeslam, a Brussels-born French national.
He is believed to have rented a VW Polo car in Belgium, which was later found near the Bataclan concert hall where 89 people were killed.
He is also believed to have driven a car from which gunmen shot at people on the terraces of bars.
The day after the attacks, Abdeslam was picked up in Paris by Hamza Attou and Mohammed Amri and driven to Brussels, Attou's defence lawyer, Carine Couquelet told French TV.
Who were the attackers?

Ms Couquelet said her client told her that Abdeslam had been "extremely agitated", and "perhaps ready to blow himself up".
They had exchanged a few words and Mr Attou had been terrified during the journey, she said. But Abdeslam had been "very calm" when police checked their identity papers.
This raised questions, including the possibility that Salah Abdeslam may have been supposed to blow himself up in Paris but had had second thoughts, the lawyer added.
Two friends of Abdeslam told ABC News they had spoken to him on Skype and said he was hiding in Brussels and desperately trying to get to Syria.

About 170 men who had their prostate removed have been contacted, the Heart of England NHS Trust said.

Dr Nair is also alleged to have given some patients laser treatment - a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) - which was yet to be approved by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice).
The GMC put restrictions on the consultant urologist's work while the allegations are investigated. These restrictions include not working in private practice and all work being supervised.
Medical negligence lawyer, Adam Wright, said his firm has been contacted by 57 of Dr Nair's former patients.
Spire Parkway Hospital said Dr Nair had not worked there since 2014 and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, which manages Heartlands NHS Hospital, said he had been "excluded from the trust since April 2014".
He worked at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust between February and July as a locum surgeon.

Write a summary for this information. | In an exclusive interview with BBC Wales, Vincent Tan says he will spend up to £25m on new players if City makes it to the Premier League, and defended the controversial re-brand which saw the shirt colours change from blue to red.
I travelled to Kuala Lumpur where I was given behind the scenes access to one of the richest men in Malaysia.
Tan made his first break when he introduced McDonald's to Malaysia in the 1980s.
A few years later he bought the country's main lottery, which remains the cash cow of his diverse business empire.
His group, which is called Berjaya, also has interests in insurance, pharmacy and property.
One of its projects is building what it claims will be the world's largest indoor shopping centre on the outskirts of Beijing called the Great Mall of China.
His investments in Cardiff have come from his private wealth.
He first put in £6m at the club after being asked by his friend Dato Chan Tien Ghee, the current chairman of Cardiff City, around three years ago.
Initially he was in the background as an investor but after loaning the club more than £30m, he decided to play a far more active role when he saw Cardiff lose in the Championship play-offs at the end of last season.
His first move was to carry out the controversial re-brand in an attempt to gain popularity in Asia.
He said: "You look at Man United and Liverpool and they are red - they are much more successful and have a bigger fan base than Chelsea or Manchester City.
"In Asia, red is the colour of joy, red is the colour of festivities and of celebration.
"In Chinese culture, blue is the colour of mourning.
"Of course it is not easy to compete with Man United or even Liverpool because they have a big fan base and they have been around so long and have won so many trophies. So far it looks tough but not impossible.
"So I would like to tell the fans we are doing a good job so give us all the support and have faith that we will do the right thing.
"Why would I want to do stupid things and put in, maybe by the end of the season, £70m in loans and investments into Cardiff and do stupid things? Do I look stupid? No.
"We want to do what is good for Cardiff and for the long-term survival, and hopefully Cardiff can be around for a long time and, God willing, be around in the Premier League."
He has not ruled out carrying out further re-brands if the club, which is currently top of the Championship, is promoted to the Premier League, but he says he has not discussed it at any length.
He also spoke openly about the possibility of renaming the Cardiff City Stadium, with the name Malaysia being added or the name of a major Asian sponsor.
But the naming rights of the stadium are wrapped up in an historic debt of £19m owed to a company called Langston which is connected to the former chairman Sam Hammam.
The club's last set of accounts show it has debts of £83m. Much of that is owed to Vincent Tan which he says he will convert to shares but will only do so once the Langston debt is dealt with.
He says he will offer the former chairman a combination of shares and money to pay off the debt and will even offer him a place on the board.
He said: "If Sam Hammam loves Cardiff City like he claims he does, he should come and sit down and convert his debt into equity to show his commitment.
"I think it's too sensitive to talk about the details but the principle is we'd like Sam Hammam to come and resolve this, and this is for the good of Cardiff.
"After all, if I had not come along and put in money, Sam Hammam would have had nothing and the club would have gone into administration.
"If I was Sam Hammam I would be grateful to someone who has put in so much money."
Tan says he has caught the football bug and often travels to the UK in his private jet to watch matches.
He says he has a good relationship with the manager Malky Mackay and enjoys going into the dressing room to speak to the players, particularly Craig Bellamy.
His son Robin and a number of his senior managers told me they all questioned his decision to buy into a football club, but say when he makes investments he usually does so for the long term.
Tan said: "If the fans welcome me and everybody welcomes me, I can stay a long time, but if I find they are not welcoming and are rude then I may find a new buyer and go off.
"But I want to say this, if I have to leave then I will leave it in good shape." | The Malaysian owner of Cardiff City has spoken publicly for the first time about how he plans to turn the club into a force in Asia. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Officers in a number of police vehicles have patrolled the area throughout Thursday night and Friday.
Eleven people had been arrested in the area over the two days, said Supt Melanie Jones.
The arrests were for "low-level alcohol and disorder-related offences and some low-level assaults", she added.
Behaviour in the area had generally been better than in previous years, police said.
"At the very maximum number, we would've seen a crowd of about 300 or 400," said Supt Jones.
"We've worked very hard to make sure we're getting the messages out early about what sort of behaviour is acceptable."
Both Queen's University and Ulster University asked their students to stay away from the area on St Patrick's Day, and classes were also cancelled on Wednesday and Thursday.
However, many students have remained in the Holyland despite their universities' pleas.
Ray Farley, from the Holyland Residents' Association, said there was a "huge amount of students, young people and non-residents" in the area, adding that it was very noisy.
"If it wasn't for the police presence, it would've been a really bad situation for everyone here," said Mr Farley.
"It's not as bad as last year - police are managing to keep it at a level that, while not acceptable, is not serious."
About 30 staff from the universities have joined police in the area, along with Belfast City Council workers.
Five off-licences in the Holyland have closed "voluntarily" for a number of hours.
Queen's University insists that the majority of those who traditionally travel to the mainly-student area of the city on St Patrick's Day are post-primary pupils or non-students.

NICE says a third of adults diagnosed with this common lung condition have no actual clinical signs of asthma.
Some may have had asthma in the past, but many have probably been given an incorrect diagnosis, says NICE, which has drafted new advice for doctors.
But people should not stop medication on their own, warn experts.
Anyone who is concerned should talk to their doctor, they stress.
And asthma charities say under-diagnosis and under-treatment is still a big problem.
Three people die every day because of asthma. Most of these deaths could have been avoided through better control of the disease, says Asthma UK.
Source: Asthma UK and NICE
Doctors already follow guidelines to help them diagnose and treat asthma patients. But the latest advice from NICE takes the most recent scientific evidence into account.
New NICE NICE guidelines for England, which are now out for consultation before final approval, say doctors should use more clinical tests to back up their judgement and avoid the danger of wrongly labelling someone as having asthma.
The best test to start with is spirometry - a machine which measures how much and how fast a person breathes out. Further breath tests may also be needed, says the guidance.
Prof Mark Baker, director of clinical practice at NICE, said: "Accurate diagnosis of asthma has been a significant problem which means that people may be wrongly diagnosed or cases might be missed in others.
"Our aim with this guideline is to give clarity and set out the most clinical and cost-effective ways to diagnose and monitor asthma based on the best available evidence."
Over-treatment is a concern because some of the drugs used to manage asthma can have significant side-effects.
Asthma UK welcomes the new guidelines - but warns there is also evidence asthma is under-diagnosed too - and that eight out of 10 asthma sufferers are still not getting the correct basic care.
Kay Boycott, Chief Executive at Asthma UK says: "Asthma has many complex causes which is one of the reasons why it is sometimes difficult to get a definitive diagnosis.
"It is also a highly variable condition that can change throughout someone's life or even week by week, meaning treatment can change over time.
"For anyone with an asthma diagnosis, it is vital they have the right medication and a plan to better manage their condition and any asthma attacks." | Birmingham City have signed Watford striker Jerome Sinclair and Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik on loan until the end of the season.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Rebecca Minnock, 35, and son Ethan, three, disappeared from their home in Highbridge, Somerset, on 26 May.
The next day a district judge ruled Ethan should live with his father.
Det Ch Insp Marie Wright told BBC Points West she was worried about the "emotional impact" on Ethan and his mother of weeks in hiding
"Rebecca needs to return Ethan back to the court process where he is going to live with his father," she said.
"Rebecca knows this and she is evading the court process."
She added that she did not believe Miss Minnock was still in Somerset and police had received reports she had been seen in Cheltenham and, more recently, in Birmingham. The BBC's Steve Knibbs said he understood the police search was now focusing on Birmingham.
"Ethan's father is very upset, as you would expect. Ethan needs to go and live with him," Det Ch Insp Wright told the BBC.
On Sunday Miss Minnock's brother, sister and mother were arrested, accused of withholding information.
They told a judge at Bristol Crown Court they did not know her whereabouts - he said he had suspicions they knew more but released them from the court, saying he was "not satisfied" he could commit them for contempt of court based on the evidence he had heard.
Miss Minnock is about 5ft 3ins tall, of medium build, with dark wavy shoulder-length hair, and Ethan has blond hair and blue eyes, police said.
He has lived with his mother since his parents separated in February 2013.
A month later, his father Roger Williams, applied for contact with him.
On 27 May this year a district judge ruled Ethan should live with his father after finding Miss Minnock had made false allegations and obstructed contact between the father and son.

The Islamist group had held the town near the Niger border since November, part of territory it had captured since stepping up attacks in the region.
Military sources say about 10 Chadian soldiers and 200 militants were killed.
The campaign to push back Boko Haram comes days after the group pledged allegiance to Islamist State (IS).
The militants have been fighting an insurgency to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria since 2009, and in recent months the violence has increasingly spilled over into neighbouring states.
This has led Niger, Chad and Cameroon to send troops into Nigeria to help drive back the militants.
Chad's army has not commented on the reported death of its soldiers.
"We have kicked the enemy out of these areas [around Damasak] and they are now under our control," one Niger military source told the Reuters news agency.
A convoy of more than 200 vehicles has been seen heading from Niger into Nigeria, while air strikes have also been reported.
On Friday, the African Union endorsed the creation of a regional force of more than 8,000 troops to combat the group.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Its Secretary General Bheki Ntshalintshali said he was no longer the "right person" to lead the country.
Anti-apartheid struggle veterans have also called on the African National Congress (ANC) to recall the president.
Mr Zuma has been under growing pressure following a major cabinet reshuffle which included the sacking of respected Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.
That led to South Africa's credit rating being cut to junk status putting more pressure on a troubled economy.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), a key part of the governing alliance, says it has 1.8 million members.
It forms part of what is called the Tripartite Alliance along with the the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP).
The SACP has also called on Mr Zuma to go.
Cosatu General Secretary of Bheki Ntshalintshali told a media briefing that the union's decision was driven by Mr Zuma's failure to consult it before making changes to his cabinet.
He termed the president's leadership as "inattentive, negligent... and disruptive".
He added that the organisation was not concerned about Mr Gordhan's sacking because he was, like his predecessors, "not a friend of the workers".
"We will support the new minister where necessary and fight with him where necessary," he added.
Mr Ntshalintshali also criticised ratings agency S&P's decision to downgrade South Africa to junk status saying the union views it as political interference.
ANC veterans, who include former high commissioners, ministers and many respected anti-apartheid activists, also told a media briefing in Johannesburg that the ANC should do "the honourable thing and recall the president", especially after the party's integrity commission advised that he should resign.
President Jacob Zuma is certainly politically weaker today than he was over the weekend. Cosatu's call for him to step down is a crushing blow to the beleaguered head of state.
The workers' union federation had been a reliable backer of Mr Zuma against unrelenting calls for his removal.
Focus now shifts to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ANC which is currently meeting.
However, regardless of the outcome of that meeting, deep divisions within the body will entrench positions between the pro and anti-Zuma factions.
Mr Zuma is due to step down in 2019 at the end of his second five-year term as president.
Last week, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa called the sacking of Mr Gordhan "totally unacceptable".
Later, in a speech at the weekend, which has been interpreted as a public broadside against Mr Zuma, he called for a renewal of the country and criticised "greedy and corrupt people".
Former President Kgalema Motlanthe also said that it was difficult for Mr Zuma to command respect after the constitutional court found him in breach of the law when he failed to repay government money spent on his private home.
But President Zuma's obituary has been written many times before only for him to rise from the ashes, says the BBC's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg..
Despite the reported scandals that have dogged his administration, several attempts to remove Mr Zuma have foundered.
Meanwhile, new Finance Minsiter Malusi Gigaba has been working to reassure South Africans about the state of the economy.
Mr Gigaba told a media briefing that Monday's downgrade to junk status by ratings agency S&P was a setback, but that people should not be despondent.
"I'm not saying it's easy to get out of a rating downgrade, yet I remain confident," he added.

We understand the government is preparing to push ahead with plans to relax the Sunday trading laws, even though it was facing almost certain defeat in parliament over the issue just a few months ago.
The official line is that ministers are currently considering the results of a consultation, but we've been told that the intention is to get the law changed sometime this year.
Ministers believe they can win round many of those who've expressed concern. They won't just argue about the economic benefits of shops staying open for longer, they will also argue that longer trading hours on a Sunday could save struggling high streets.
Under the new proposals being drawn up by Local Government Minister Brandon Lewis, it will be left to local councils to decide whether to allow shops to stay open for longer on a Sunday.
Mr Lewis believes that it would allow councils to favour areas which struggle to attract shoppers and he points to his own constituency of Great Yarmouth.
Already some on Great Yarmouth Borough Council are talking about attracting people into the town centre and sea front by allowing shops there to stay open much later, while popular out of town business parks would not necessarily be afforded the same privilege.
"If we had this power this could be a shot in the arm to local businesses and allow them to compete with the big boys," the Conservative leader of Great Yarmouth council Graham Plant said.
The town centre manager Jonathan Newman said: "Shopping in a town centre which has longer hours could be a draw for shoppers rather than a retail park with shorter hours.
"But all the shops would have to coordinate their hours or else the public would just get confused."
Campaigners opposed to longer opening hours question if the move would really benefit the high street, pointing out that under the existing law smaller traders are allowed to open for longer.
"The only people who would benefit from this would be the large retailers," Adam Swierawski from Keep Sunday Special said.
He points to research by his organisation which found 91% of shop workers and 67% of the general public who were questioned don't want to see any extension of Sunday trading.
But others can see the benefits.
Chloe Smith, the MP for Norwich North, said that three quarters of businesses in the city would like to see longer hours.
"I think ultimately this comes down to choice," she said.
"People lead very busy lives and you need flexibility to get the family shop and other shopping done when you can."
Ministers point out that Sunday is now the busiest day of the week for shopping, thanks to the internet.
They believe high street stores are being held back, they also believe a relaxation of the laws would be popular with shoppers.
That's why they're determined to see this happen. | Paris St-Germain have signed Poland midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak and Belgium defender Thomas Meunier for undisclosed fees after their sides' Euro 2016 exits.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Taylor gave Argyle their 13th away win with a close-range shot after a Graham Carey penalty had earlier cancelled out a Dean Cox opener for the hosts.
Crawley, with six defeats in their previous eight home games, shook their high-flying opponents in the 28th minute when former Brighton and Leyton Orient winger Cox scored his first goal for the club.
Cox forced the ball past goalkeeper Luke McCormick from close range after a good move which involved Billy Clifford, Enzio Boldewijn and Lewis Young.
Boldewijn had gone close early on by heading over an Andre Blackman cross at the far post.
Cox tried his luck shortly before the interval when his goal-bound shot from a pass by James Collins was saved by McCormick.
Top scorer Carey put an angled shot over but Plymouth struggled for fluency in a disappointing first half.
Crawley marksman Collins was off target shortly after the break when he headed a Cox cross over.
Plymouth drew level on 63 minutes when Mark Connolly fouled Antoni Sarcevic on the edge of the area and Carey slotted his 14th goal of the season to the right of Glenn Morris.
Argyle substitute Paul-Arnold Garita should have done better when he fired over when well placed after a pass from Craig Tanner.
Crawley were reduced to 10 men 11 minutes before full-time when Collins was shown a second yellow card in a challenge with Yann Songo'o.
And Taylor made Collins pay when he fired in deep into stoppage time to leave Plymouth 12 points clear of fourth place with only five games left.

Give a brief summary of the content. | It's two o'clock on a crisp November day and Vanessa White saunters up to the gates of Ealing Studios in west London.
The film studio has played host to Shaun of the Dead, Bridget Jones and the entire "downstairs" set of Downton Abbey - but she's not here to film a cameo ("Can you imagine?" she giggles).
Instead, the 27-year-old climbs the fire escape of a dilapidated high-rise building, enters a propped-open door and navigates the corridors to a small back room that's been converted into a recording studio.
Like all such facilities, it's painted black and littered with empty liquor bottles. The walls are haphazardly decorated with polaroids of previous occupants - including US hitmakers The Chainsmokers - and, in the corner, there's a tiny figurine of Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
Inside, Vanessa's producer Swift King is ready and waiting, sorting through various tracks he's hoping she might choose for her forthcoming EP.
But first, the singer has a confession: "I've got a sore throat and I'm a bit hung over."
It doesn't seem to matter. If anything, the consensus is that a husky voice is better for the material - a sultry and sumptuous serving of downtempo R&B; all heavy breathing and soaring harmonies.
Staving off the hangover with a "nourishing" lunch box, Vanessa explains her musical state of mind to the team.
"Everything I'm doing now is so dark," she says, cueing up a song on her phone. "Not like I-want-to-kill-myself dark, but it's quite angry."
One of the tracks - tentatively called Trust - is seething with vitriol.
"I won't stroke your ego," she spits. "I'm onto you, I'm onto you. Don't underestimate my intelligence."
The song was inspired by encounters with "snaky people" in the music industry, she explains: Specifically, a toxic situation that developed around her and ended up "with the lawyers" last year.
She can't discuss the details, but says her solo career was significantly delayed as a result. The EP she's working on today was originally due last summer.
"There were certain songs I loved that I couldn't use any more," she explains. "So I've basically had to start again, which is why it's taken this long.
"The silver lining is it's given me something to write about. I'm in a much better position now, mentally.
"I used to get so scared of going in the studio with people I didn't know but now, you could put me anywhere and I'd be fine."
Vanessa certainly takes charge in the studio. Having brought the producers up to speed, she sits cross-legged on a sofa as they scroll through a few skeleton songs, looking for "an uptempo track with a dark heart".
One by one, Vanessa dismisses them. "That's too light," she says of one. "I'm not instantly drawn to it," is her verdict on the next.
After half a dozen tracks are waved off, engineer Day Decosta brings up a simple loop built around a gooey, pulsing bass groove.
Vanessa instantly sits up, alert. "Oh, I like this."
She starts ad-libbing vocal riffs over the top, trading ideas with co-writer Celetia Martin, a former vocalist for Groove Armada whose credits include Skepta, Conor Maynard and, yes, The Saturdays.
Within minutes, she heads to the vocal booth. "I don't really know what I'm doing right now," she laughs. "I'm just going to sing loads of random nonsense."
Slowly, painstakingly, the song takes shape. Some of the improvisations stick and are pieced together into a coherent melody. Every so often, Vanessa emerges from the booth to kneel on the floor with Celetia, and the pair go back and forth over lyrics and harmonies.
When inspiration dries up, they scroll through Instagram, gossip about TV box sets, and goof off doing the Mannequin Challenge for Vanessa's Instagram page.
Conversation eventually turns to the singer's upcoming holiday, a "juice retreat" in Portugal, where solid food is forbidden for an entire week.
It sounds awful (although photos from the journey suggest otherwise) - but it's apparently the standard sort of torture female pop stars endure before the promotional round of video and photo shoots begin.
"It sounds worse than what it was," laughs the singer when we catch up four months later.
"Honestly, if you were hungry it wasn't like they starved you. They added more to the smoothies or they'd give you a piece of fruit. It was actually fine.
"I feel like I need another one now, that's the problem!"
In any case, the 27-year-old counts dressing up and being photographed as a perk of her job... although it wasn't always that way.
"When I was in The Sats, it actually got a bit boring having to be made up every single day," she says. "I stopped appreciating it.
"Now I can come to the studio looking like this and it's fine. Dressing up has become more of a treat again."
Back at Ealing Studios, work continues late into the night - long after the BBC has left the building, having contributed precisely zero to the writing process.
The song is ultimately destined for the scrapheap, but Trust (completely overhauled and re-titled Trust Me) makes it onto Vanessa's Chapter Two EP, which was released last Friday.
As she predicted, it set the tone for a collection of brooding neo-soul that's surprisingly candid about anger, lust and sexuality. Fans of The Saturdays' chirrupy chart fodder are in for quite a surprise.
"I guess people are going to question it," she admits of her new direction. "But I feel pop is not very me at the moment.
"It took a bit of time to find a sound that was completely right for me. Now I feel like I've really nailed it, and it's obvious it's coming from me. Once people believe that, you're half-way there."
Certainly, the sophisticated harmonies and complex ad-libs reflect the US singers she grew up idolising - Janet, Alliyah, Brandy and Mariah - without sounding like a cheap, plastic counterfeit.
"We've had a problem with that in the UK in the past," she acknowledges. "I don't know why we haven't really got the sounds right before - but this is what I listened to for years and years, so I guess that's where it's come from."
The EP has been well-reviewed on the sort of music sites that would have given The Saturdays a wide berth. But it's hard to see where the music fits in the current charts, crammed full of Ed Sheeran's acoustic pop and The Chainsmokers' emo EDM.
"To be honest with you, I'm not even thinking about that," says the singer. "With everything that's happened this year, including the label stuff, I've ended up doing this on my own - and at this point I'm preferring it, to be honest.
"I feel like I have to run with this. I'm not going to be hard on myself and expect it to be [huge] at this point.
"Whatever happens will happen."

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Immunotherapies - which harness the body's own defences to fight tumours - can clear even terminal cancer in a small proportion of patients.
However, a small study by the University of Texas found those harbouring a more diverse community of gut bugs are more likely to benefit.
Cancer Research UK said understanding gut bugs had "great potential".
The human body is home to trillions of micro-organisms - estimates suggest our own tissues are so heavily outnumbered that our bodies are just 10% human.
And a growing wealth of studies shows these microbes can influence our immune systems and have been implicated in auto-immune diseases and allergies.
Immunotherapies are one of the most exciting breakthroughs in treating cancer. They work by taking the brakes off the immune system to help it to attack tumours more easily.
The research group compared the gut bacteria in 23 patients who responded to the therapy and 11 who did not.
Dr Jennifer Wargo, a melanoma surgeon and scientist, told the BBC News website: "We found a night-and-day difference in the diversity of bacteria species in the faecal samples."
The study, presented at the National Cancer Research Institute's Cancer Conference in Liverpool, found Ruminococcus bacteria in much higher levels in those that responded to treatment.
It suggests that it may be possible to boost the effectiveness of immunotherapy by altering the balance of bacteria in the gut.
Procedures such as a trans-poo-sion - a transplant of faecal matter containing beneficial bacteria - are already used as a treatment for some diseases.
Dr Wargo added: "It is hugely plausible I think - we still need to dig a little deeper, but I think we're on to something.
"I think it really does shape our body's immune response as a whole and to cancer."
It is not yet clear if the differences in bacteria are the cause of the better response.
People with diets containing more fruit and vegetables tend to have a richer set of gut bugs, so it is possible that it is those with a healthier lifestyle that respond better to therapy.
"It might point to a healthy diet increasing your chances, which I think would be a great message," she added.
Sir Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, said: "Our bodies are filled with trillions of bacteria, and we are just beginning to scratch the surface of understanding their great potential.
"It's really interesting and exciting to see new evidence emerge on the close connection between the immune system and the bacteria living in our guts. As this, and several other studies, have shown, manipulating these bacteria could be exploited in future to help patients respond better to treatment."

Write a concise summary for the following article. | The 44-year-old was given permission to speak to the Championship club on Monday but resigned from his Hibs role, according to Rotherham, to take over.
He leaves Hibs less than two weeks after guiding the Easter Road side to a first Scottish Cup win in 114 years.
And his exit comes despite the two clubs having yet to reach an agreement over compensation.
The former Celtic and Everton defender replaces Neil Warnock at the New York Stadium.
Warnock kept the Millers in the second tier last season but left at the end of the campaign, saying it would have been "wrong" of him to sign a new deal.
Stubbs took over at Hibs in June 2014 following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
They finished second and third in his two seasons in charge but were unable to gain promotion via the play-offs on both occasions.
He will be joined at Rotherham by assistant John Doolan, who also resigned from his position as first-team coach at Hibs.
The 27-year-old was given the initial punishment by an International Tennis Federation (ITF) anti-doping tribunal.
Troicki had refused to give a blood sample during the Monte Carlo Masters in April and will be banned until 15 July 2014.
"This decision puts an end to my dreams of being a top player," said Troicki.
The reduced ban means the world number 77 will miss the first three Grand Slams of 2014.
As a result, he will be unable to defend the points he accumulated in the early part of 2013 and is likely to drop down the rankings.
"I have no idea what to do now or where to go," added Troicki, who had called for his suspension to be overturned. "I hope somehow I will be able to fight back."
CAS decided that Troicki was not at "significant fault" despite committing an anti-doping violation, with no suggestion he intended to evade the detection of a banned substance in his system.
The decision comes 11 days after Croatia's Marin Cilic had his nine-month ban reduced to four months.
Cilic, 25, tested positive for banned substance nikethamide in April and returned to action at last week's Paris Masters, where he reached the second round before losing to Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro. | Rotherham United have appointed Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs as their new manager on a three-year contract.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Firms are selling data about people's salaries, investment values and pension size for as little as 5p without their knowledge, the Daily Mail said.
It is feared it will be used to scam pensioners who can access their full pension pots under new rules in April.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said he was investigating.
He told the BBC that the claims were "very serious" and said he was in touch with the Pensions Regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority and the police.
"There are lots of people out there who are trying to take advantage of leads that they get to sell you stuff," he said.
However, at least one of the firms accused of selling data has denied doing anything illegal.
The Daily Mail said its undercover reporters were able to buy pension details by claiming they were from a cold-calling company.
However, one of the companies that offered information to the reporters - B2C Data - denied selling "highly sensitive details of salaries, investments and pensions".
It said its data business was "entirely legitimate and legally compliant".
"Importantly, it does not receive or process information other than in respect of those customers of its members who have opted in," said a B2C spokesperson.
Previously B2C told the paper that it gathered some details from mortgage application forms.
Mortgage applicants have to give details of their savings, and may not always tick a box to stop their data being passed on.
Another suggestion being made is that people give away information unwittingly when filling in forms for savings products such as Individual Savings Accounts (Isas).
About 300,000 people are expected to be able to take immediate advantage of changes in pension rules on 6 April, and the industry has repeatedly warned about the dangers of scams.
The Association of British Insurers, which represents many of the big pension companies, is among those who have already called for a tightening of the rules.
But the real question is: How are these data firms obtaining personal details of salaries and pensions in the first place? Pension companies themselves naturally deny selling information.
However, it is not necessarily illegal to sell data lists, when people have given away information freely.
Steve Webb - pensions minister in the coalition government - has already admitted there will be a lot of crooks wanting to take advantage of the pension reforms, and has advised people to take professional advice.
A second company - Targeted Response Direct (TRD) - denied the Mail's accusations of selling unregulated high-risk investments to pensioners.
"For the record, we don't sell pension details," said David Billington of TRD.
"We do not target pensioners for any investment product or service," he said.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) advised people to be on their guard against unsolicited approaches from financial companies.
The ICO has the power to issue fines of up to £500,000 for the most serious breaches and can pursue criminal prosecutions around unlawfully obtaining or accessing personal data. | An investigation has been launched into claims the details of millions of people's pensions are being sold to fraudsters and cold-calling firms. |
Write a concise summary for the following article. | Rebecca Shuttleworth is serving a life sentence for murdering Keanu Williams.
The toddler was found with 37 injuries including a fractured skull and torn abdomen, in Ward End, Birmingham.
A serious case review said social care workers, the police and health professionals had "collectively failed to prevent Keanu's death".
Shuttleworth, 25, was spoken to in prison by members of the serious case review team, telling them she was "surprised" social workers allowed her to keep custody of Keanu.
The report states: "She expressed some surprise that Keanu had not been removed from her care when born.
"As Rebecca Shuttleworth is intending to appeal her sentence, although it is unclear if that is possible, she was not able to talk more about services which might have prevented Keanu's death."
The report found different agencies had "become confused" as their strategy discussions had focused on the medical and forensic aspect of his injuries, the report said.
It concluded that although Keanu's death on 9 January 2011 could not have been predicted, the agencies involved could have seen that he was "likely to suffer significant harm".
The toddler should have been subject to a child protection plan "on at least two occasions" to address issues of neglect and physical harm, the report said.
Jane Held, from the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board, said Keanu died because there were "failings across every agency".
"No-one walked in his shoes, staff were distracted by his mother's needs and by taking what she had told them at face value," she said.
Ms Held said there had been "double-figure sackings" since Keanu's death, but added: "It is unfortunately an appalling situation.
"We are unequivocally sorry about the fact that unacceptable failures in 2011 and from the start of Keanu's life meant that we did not prevent his death and we failed to protect him, and that is something that I think all the board feel incredibly distressed about."
Shuttleworth, of Cottingham Road, Manchester, was convicted of murder and four counts of child cruelty after a five-month trial. She was ordered to serve at least 18 years.
Keanu was born in Torbay, Devon, and the report also found Torbay's Children's Services should have been aware of the risks even before his birth.
By Mark EastonHome editor
It states: "There was enough information available to raise concerns that the unborn child was likely to be at risk of suffering significant harm."
The authority also later received two anonymous reports of concerns about Rebecca Shuttleworth's care of Keanu which should have led to a reassessment of his safety.
It concluded: "If a child protection plan had been in place, there would have been more robust arrangements to safeguard and promote Keanu's interests."
Torbay Council's director of children's services, Richard Williams, said: "This is an extremely sad case and I would like to reassure everyone that we take the recommendations in this review very seriously and have acted upon them all."
The serious case review makes eight recommendations:
The report was told there has been an "end-to-end" review of the child protection system since Keanu's death, as it became clear there had been poor performance and a general lack of compliance with child protection procedures.
In a comment that echoes those made after the death of starved four-year-old Daniel Pelka, the report says that Keanu had become "invisible".
The serious case review into the death of Keanu Williams is the twenty-third to be published in Birmingham since the Local Safeguarding Board's inception in 2006.
Peter Hay, from Birmingham City Council said admitted that its track record over recent years was "poor" and said the council was "unequivocally sorry".
"Keanu's death is another tragic reminder of the consequences of failing children's services," he said.
Edward Timpson, the government minister for children and families, said he has issued the council with a "final warning".
"There is no quick fix, however I have been very clear with Birmingham that unless I see rapid improvement further action will follow," he added.
Ofsted will return to Birmingham in autumn to determine what progress has been made, the minister said.
The National Children's Bureau said it was "particularly worrying" that the review found that no conversations were held with Keanu to find out what he was feeling.
Dr Hilary Emery, from the children's charity, said no child at risk should ever be "only seen and not heard".
"We urgently need to review how best to support children within the child protection system - especially the very young ones - to ensure their voices are listened to at every opportunity," he said.
West Midlands Police said their officers need to "challenge social workers and doctors" in future.
Assistant Chief Constable Sharon Rowe said: "Of course it's a collective failure and we paid a key role in that.
"Ultimate accountability rests with Keanu's mother who was convicted of his murder - let's not forget that."
Fay Baillie, director of nursing for NHS England in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country said: "I don't think children in Birmingham will ever be completely safe.
"We are always going to have deceptive mothers and families, however we can aim to make it as safe as possible by working together and improving education." | There were "a number of significant missed opportunities" to save a two-year-old boy from being beaten to death by his mother, a report has found. |
Can you write a short summary of this section? | The opener made 81 for Somerset against the tourists on the first day of a four-day match at Taunton on Wednesday.
Joe Root had overtaken Compton in the pecking order for the first Test, which starts at Trent Bridge on 10 July.
"Nick Compton's one-off appearance for Worcestershire will not alter England's plans to open with Joe Root for the first Ashes Test. But it does give Compton a chance to cement his position as the next cab off the rank should England suffer an injury to any of their batsmen. Compton's temporary move is no skin off Somerset's nose given that he was unlikely to feature in their Twenty20 plans, but it does give the batsman an opportunity to follow up his classy 81 for Somerset on Wednesday with another innings of substance against the touring Australians."
However, Compton's one-off county switch shows he still has a chance to regain his England Test place.
He hit back-to-back Test centuries for England in New Zealand in the winter, but scored just 39 runs in four innings in the two Tests against the Kiwis this summer.
As a result, Compton, 30, was left out of England's warm-up game against Essex this weekend.
There is a precedent for his one-off appearance for a different county. In 2011 an out-of-form Andrew Strauss played for Somerset against India tourists when his county Middlesex had no fixture.
The four-day match between Worcestershire and Australia begins on 2 July.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The two never signed a treaty after the end of World War Two because of a dispute over four islands.
Mr Abe told reporters that both leaders recognised that the lack of such a document for 70 years was "abnormal".
Since taking office in 2012 Mr Abe has tried to improve relations with Moscow.
The former Soviet Union had seized several islands which Japan calls its Northern Territories in 1945. Russia calls them the Southern Kurils.
The two leaders last discussed the issue in 2013.

Mr Abe told reporters at his New Year press conference in Tokyo that he and Mr Putin "share the view that it is abnormal" for their countries not to have a peace treaty. The two countries established diplomatic relations in 1956.
"But without a summit meeting this Northern Territories problem cannot be resolved,'' he said.
He added that he would continue discussions with Mr Putin "when opportunities arise".
The disputed island chain stretches north across the Pacific Ocean from the Japanese island of Hokkaido to the southern tip of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.
The UK as a whole saw the same rate of growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during that quarter.
Construction was up an unusually strong 6.1%, with production up 1% and the dominant service sector flat.
Two-thirds of the increase was explained by the construction sector's boost.
The rest was explained by production, which includes manufacturing.
Output rose by 2.8% between the end of 2013 and the end of 2014, while in the UK, the equivalent figure was up 3.1%.
Comparing the whole of 2014 with 2013, construction was up 13%, production up only 1% and the service sector by 2.3%.
The quarterly output figures were the first to adapt to a new method of measuring growth, which takes account of a wider range of factors including research and development, and illegal drugs and prostitution.
Analysis of the figures by think-tank Fiscal Affairs Scotland emphasised the strength of construction last year, far faster than previous high-growth years of 7% to 8%.
Last year, while the value of the UK construction sector was up 7.5%, it fell in the final quarter.
The analysis also highlighted the reason for UK GDP growing faster overall was the services sector, which represents three-quarters of the economy. It grew twice as fast at the UK level (3.4%) than in Scotland (1.7%).
The full-year figures also give an opportunity to bring up to date the comparative growth rates between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Fiscal Affairs Scotland points out that average annual growth since 1998 has been 1.6% in Scotland, and 2.2% in the UK as a whole.
Much of that higher growth rate is linked to a faster-growing population in England. The per capita measure for Scotland is an average of 1.2% per year. The equivalent figure for the UK as a whole (excluding offshore oil and gas) is lower than Scotland's, at 1%.
Since the peak of economic output in 2008, the Scottish economy fell and rose again, to be 2.3% higher, while the UK economy, which hit a deeper trough but has since grown back more strongly, is 5.1% bigger.
Per capita, however, Scottish output is still below the 2008 peak, by 0.7%, while the UK per capita output measure is 1.2% below its previous peak.
John McLaren, of Fiscal Affairs Scotland, said: "Scotland's economy continues to improve in terms of higher output.
"The improvement recorded in the construction sector over the past year has been remarkable but little commented upon.
"However, the relatively sluggish performance of the services sector is a concern.
"In particular, the recent stagnant performance of the business services sector is worrying as, since 2010, it has very much lead the way in terms of the recovery and it continues to do so for the UK as a whole." | Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has called for talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin so that the two countries can negotiate a peace treaty.

Write a summary of this document. | Stephen Powell, 47, from Guiseley, pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court to conspiracy to import the class A drug.
Powell was charged after about a tonne of cocaine was found on the Makayabella yacht off the coast of Ireland.
He was told by Judge Peter Collier he faced a "significant custodial sentence" and was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on 5 December.
The Makayabella was intercepted about 200 miles of the south west coast of Ireland on 23 September following a covert surveillance operation to track it from Venezuela.
Intelligence sources said it was understood the drugs were heading for the north Wales coast.
Investigators also seized a second vessel, the motorboat Sea Breeze, at Pwllheli in Gwynedd, on 26 September.
Three other men have been charged in connection with the plot following an international operation involving the Irish Naval Service and the National Crime Agency.
Powell's father John Powell, 70, of Silsden, West Yorkshire, Benjamin Mellor, 35, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, and Thomas Britteon, 28, of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, have been charged with possessing cocaine with intent to import after they were detained on board the yacht.
They have appeared at Cork District Court in Ireland.

The 49-year-old was found guilty of murdering two patients and poisoning 20 others in May.
Chua was convicted of poisoning, or attempting to poison, six of the ten people for whom the inquests were held.
A further four were people whose deaths were investigated by police.
No criminal charges were brought in relation to those deaths.
Verdicts of death by natural causes were recorded against three of the four "new" cases of Vera Pearson, 84, Hannah Hull, 89, and Raymond Jenyon, 86.
The death of George Keep, 84, was accidental following a fall in the road, his inquest heard.
Chua was convicted of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm to Beryl Hope, 70, Linda McDonagh, 60, Mary Cartwright, 69, William Dickson, 82, and John Beeley, 73.
They also later died of natural causes, recorded South Manchester Coroner John Pollard.
Marietta Pawlyszyn, 86, who Chua tried to administer poison to by altering her prescription chart, died as a result of misadventure following complications in heart surgery, her inquest heard.
Chua was jailed for life with a minimum of 35 years for killing Tracey Arden, 44, and Derek Weaver, 83 and poisoning 20 others.
Concluding the inquests in Stockport, Mr Pollard said: "We have heard a number of inquests today in relation to those people who had the misfortune of being patients at Stepping Hill Hospital at the time when Chua was carrying out his crimes.
"As a result of that, inquests into the deaths of those patients have been considerably delayed and I apologise to each and every one of the families of the deceased for that delay.

The 30-year-old, who has played mainly as a forward, operated in a deeper role for much of the 1-0 win in Trnava.
Rooney revealed that Allardyce, who lost his job last week, admitted to him that his comments had been a mistake.
"I played exactly to instructions," said the Manchester United player.
"He knew he had made a mistake. He said that to me on the plane home.
"That's part of being involved at this level. He understood that quite early and unfortunately he doesn't have the chance to rectify that now."
Rooney, England's all-time leading scorer with 53 goals, also thought he had given "a decent performance" against Slovakia.
England won their opening World Cup 2018 qualifier 1-0 thanks to an injury-time winner from Liverpool's Adam Lallana.
"I actually thought I'd done quite well, especially in the second half," said Rooney. "It has all been blown up."
Allardyce left his post as England manager by mutual agreement with the Football Association last week after only one match and 67 days in charge.
It followed a newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
"It's a shame," said Rooney. "Everyone could see how excited Sam was for the job and he came in and showed that enthusiasm to the players.
"It's a shame it's happened and I'm sure he deeply regrets it. For the FA, I'm sure it has been a tough couple of weeks."

Rooney thinks it's an opportunity for the England Under-21 boss to "show what he can do at senior level".
"We have to buy into his ways and take his ideas on board," said Rooney.
Rooney's place in the England side has been under scrutiny since the country's failure at Euro 2016, where he played in midfield.
Asked where he thought he would play for England under Southgate, Rooney said: "It is getting tiring, that question. I have answered it many times.
"It is the same answer. I will play where the manager wants me to play. I have never picked myself."
On Monday, Southgate confirmed that Rooney will remain as captain, describing the forward as "the outstanding leader in the group".
Rooney welcomed the backing of the interim boss, saying: "With Sam, there was a lot of talk over whether I would be captain. It was good Gareth put that to bed early and there was no unnecessary speculation."

East Lindsey District Council approved plans to move control of the So Festival, Embassy Theatre in Skegness and Meridian Leisure Centre in Louth to a charitable trust.
Officials said it would allow the facilities to access new funding.
The authority claimed it would also save at least £1m over five years.
Councillor Adam Grist, portfolio holder for culture, leisure and tourism, said: "It should save a significant sum of money, which is obviously important given the revenue challenges we face.
"But it actually opens up other opportunities, including access to grants, so I think it's a win-win in that respect.
"If we keep our leisure services in-house, I think we would be under severe pressure to shed jobs, so by doing this we are protecting staff. This is not about job losses."
The council has seen a £1.9m (13.9%) cut in central government funding this financial year, on top of £1.2m the previous year.
It said the Meridian Leisure Centre, which only opened in 2010, currently required a £250,000 annual subsidy.
About £350,000 is spent on its events programme, which includes the So Festival.
As well as access to grants, charitable status would bring business rates and VAT relief.
Mr Grist explained the proposals were for the council to pay the trust a management fee, which would decrease over time.
The authority would have members on the trust's board, would retain ownership of the buildings and also insist on guarantees for employees' pay and conditions.
It is hoped the trust will be up and running by January 2015. | Former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis has been shortlisted for this year's Bad Sex in Fiction Award.

Henry Miskimmin was removed from class for two days for getting what his mother called a "short-back-and-sides" haircut of which she approved.
Enniskillen Royal Grammar School said it was an internal school matter.
The commissioner said this was "denying the child his right to education" and called for legislation to outlaw age discrimination.
"They have a right to express themselves," said Ms Yiasouma. "Unfortunately our education does not allow them that right."
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show, the commissioner called on parents with concerns over school policies to bring them to her notice.
"What I'm saying is, if this is happening to children please give my office a call and let us test this out formally," she said.
Ms Yiasouma also criticised the Department of Education for a lack of clarity in its policies.
"Sometimes guidance from the the department to schools is too woolly," she said.
Henry's self-confessed "overprotective mummy" Sandra Miskimmin said the 14-year-old's punishment meant he could not interact with his friends for two days.
Mrs Miskimmin said Henry was put in a separate room from his classmates and sent on his lunch break outside of the normal hours.
She also said the school did not tell her Henry was being punished, calling it "a form of bullying".

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Mr Mladic faces 11 charges, including genocide and crimes against humanity, dating to the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
He is specifically accused of a hand in the massacre of more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys at Srebrenica - Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.
Mr Mladic denies all charges and has denounced the UN tribunal as "satanic".
At the session on Tuesday, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ruled that there were still good grounds to try Mr Mladic on two counts of genocide.
The charges relate to the killings at Srebrenica, and to the expulsion of the Muslim Bosniaks, Bosnian Croats and other non-Serb populations in a wartime campaign that came to be known as "ethnic cleansing".
Lawyers for Mr Mladic had argued that there was not enough evidence linking him to the most serious of the crimes.
However, Judge Alphons Orie said "that the accused has a case to answer on all counts", citing material presented by prosecutors, including video footage of Mr Mladic calling on revenge against the Muslims of Srebrenica.
Mr Mladic is also charged in connection with the 44-month siege of Sarajevo during which more than 10,000 people died.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Kim Yo-jong, believed to be in her 20s, joins the ruling committee.
The country's first Workers' Party Congress in 36 years ended on Monday, with Kim Jong-un becoming party chairman and cementing his rule.
One of those given several new posts is Ri Yong-gi. South Korean intelligence said earlier this year he had been purged and executed for corruption.
Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans joined a rally in Pyongyang to mark the end of the congress.
The Korean Central News Agency, the North's state media, said Kim Yo-jong had been elected to the Workers' Party of Korea's Central Committee.
Ms Kim has frequently appeared alongside her brother at public events.
She did so again for a while on Monday as her 33-year-old older brother, wearing a traditional dark jacket buttoned up to the collar, smiled and waved to the crowds.
The confirmation of her new title had been widely expected.
She is already influential as vice-director of the propaganda and agitation department.
Ri Yong-gi had disappeared in February, leading to speculation he had fallen foul of the leadership.
But he has now been mentioned again in the media, underscoring the difficulty in following developments in the secretive North.
Hundreds of thousands of people, waving pink paper flowers, coloured balloons and red party flags, marched through the square in the capital, Pyongyang. The parade also featured floats, some of them carrying mock-ups of missiles.
Numbers at the rally are hard to estimate but I counted blocks of marchers 50 people wide and 50-plus people long passing for an hour, some goose-stepping holding red banners.
There were tightly choreographed displays of flag waving. Others were in civilian clothes, the women in traditional Korean dress and the men in suits with a collar and tie.
These did not march but leapt and bounded along the square, cheering ecstatically and gazing up at the balcony behind which Kim Jong-un sat or stood.
We asked them why they were so ecstatic. The answer, invariably, was that they were so happy to see the elevation of Marshal Kim Jong-un to the chairmanship of the Workers' Party.
It's very hard to know what people think. It may be a mixture. Unobtrusively I watched the faces of some North Koreans I know and their ecstasy seemed genuine. But that doesn't mean the people aren't also oppressed: numerous accounts by defectors and the absence of meaningful elections indicate they are.
More than 100 foreign reporters have been granted visas to cover the congress, although only a few were, briefly, allowed in to watch the meeting.
On Monday, three BBC journalists were expelled from the country for reporting which had angered the authorities.
Correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes was detained on Friday and interrogated for eight hours, before being made to sign a statement of apology. He and his colleagues left on Monday.
The BBC said it was disappointed by North Korea's decision.
The congress, which began on Friday, launched a new five-year plan for the economy, which has been hit by some of its strongest sanctions yet after the country's recent nuclear and rocket tests.
Mr Kim also used a speech to say the North would not use its nuclear weapons unless its sovereignty was threatened.
China has sent a message of congratulations to Mr Kim on his new position, though it declined to send a representative to the gathering.
Analysts suggested this may be because of unhappiness with recent indications that Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its fifth nuclear test. | North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister has been given a key post at the country's rare ruling party congress. |
Write a brief summary of the document. | This could push the final cost of HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales to about £7bn - from the agreed £5.2bn.
At least one of the carriers is to be redesigned to take the US Navy's version of the Joint Strike Fighter.
Defence Secretary Liam Fox said the government would take a "fairly stiff view" of any costs increase.
The Ministry of Defence said no final decisions on a redesign had been taken, but added that it believed the final cost of the 60,000-tonne vessels, to be based in Portsmouth, would be closer to £6bn than £7bn.
The ships - which are being built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, the members of which are BAE systems, Babcock and Thales - were saved from defence cuts under the coalition government because it would cost more to cancel the projects than proceed with them.
Ministers agreed to change the design of one, or both, of the aircraft carriers to make them compatible with different aircraft.
To take the US Navy's version of the Joint Strike Fighter, they will need to be fitted with catapults and traps - or "cats and traps" - rather than ramps.

Last November, the UK and France signed a defence treaty that agreed to share aircraft carrier resources, by keeping at least one vessel at sea between the two countries at any one time.
Each will be able to use the other's carrier in some form, certainly for training and possibly for operations.
Speaking at a Westminster lunch, Dr Fox accepted the government had increased the budget and time scale by introducing changes to the design to allow interoperability with US and French forces.
But he said: "What we are looking at is a capability that will last us, when we have it, for 50 years. Therefore it is essential to get the decisions right."
He added: "We will look at the contracting as we go through to the end of 2012 with a fairly stiff view."
HMS Prince of Wales will not enter service. It will be built but not kitted out, and then kept as a reserve vessel.
The government's strategic defence and security review in October 2010 outlined cuts of £4.7bn over four years.
The new carriers will replace the 22,000-tonne Invincible class aircraft carriers, HMS Invincible, HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal.
HMS Invincible, mothballed in 2005, was put up for sale on a government internet auction website, while Ark Royal - the navy's flagship - was decommissioned in January and HMS Illustrious will be decommissioned in 2014.
Ark Royal was decommissioned ahead of schedule - along with RAF Harrier jump jets - meaning no planes will be able to fly from British aircraft carriers until 2019, when the HMS Queen Elizabeth is expected to enter service.
BBC business editor Robert Peston said: "The disclosure of the rise in costs is bound to reopen the debate about whether the UK really needs new carriers, especially since the UK will be without any aircraft carrier until 2019."
Source: Ministry of Defence | The firms building the Royal Navy's two new aircraft carriers say the cost has risen by at least £1bn and possibly almost £2bn, the BBC has learned. |
What is the summary of the provided article? | Cricket Australia wants to give players experience with the Dukes-made ball.
The England and Wales Cricket Board uses the Dukes ball in international matches, but Australia use Kookaburra.
"Changing the ball can be a significant factor," said Pat Howard, Cricket Australia's general manager.
The Dukes ball will be used in the second part of the Sheffield Shield - Australia's premier first-class competition - from next year, while the Kookaburra ball will continue to be used in the first part of the season.
The Aussies have not won an Ashes series in England since 2001, with their difficulties against the seaming and swinging ball, and their own bowlers' inability to produce as much movement as England's attack, often cited as reasons.
Australia will host the next Ashes series in 2017-18 before the sides return to England in 2019.
Howard insists switching between the brands, which behave differently through the air and off the pitch, is not a "minor consideration".
"In recent times Australian teams travelling to England haven't adjusted well to local conditions and the swinging Dukes ball," he added.
"We have been on record saying that we will look at ways to address this deficiency and believe giving players greater experience with the Dukes ball is one way of doing just that."

Previous Speaker William Hay has retired because of ill health.
Sinn Féin said the DUP should honour an agreement to support its nominee Mitchel McLaughlin.
However, DUP leader Peter Robinson said the appointment of Speaker should be dealt with at the upcoming talks along with welfare reform.
In the absence of a replacement for Mr Hay, Mr McLaughlin will remain in the chair as principal deputy speaker, along with deputy speakers John Dallat of the SDLP and Ulster Unionist Roy Beggs.
The DUP promised Sinn Féin the post as a result of a deal that dates back to Ian Paisley's time as first minister.
Therefore, Sinn Féin expected Mitchel McLaughlin to be elected. However, some DUP MLAs are known to be strongly hostile to the notion of a Sinn Féin Speaker.
Sinn Féin's Caitriona Ruane criticised the DUP over the failure to elect Mr McLaughlin.
"The refusal today to honour that deal by refusing to back Mitchel McLaughlin raises serious questions about DUP sincerity in any negotiations process," she said.
Ulster Unionist chief whip Robin Swann described Monday's events as a "pantomime".
"When is a deal not a deal? When it is between the poisonous Sinn Féin/DUP coalition at the heart of our government," he said.
Alliance leader David Ford said the DUP should have backed Mr McLaughlin.
"The DUP should have honoured the deal that they made in 2011. They are attempting to politicise the office of the Speaker," he said.
However, the DUP's Arlene Foster blamed the failure to elect a Speaker on Sinn Fein's inability to "stand by their agreement" on welfare reform.
"If Caitriona Ruane is looking for anyone to blame for today's actions, then she should cast her eye southwards to those in Dublin currently controlling her party," she said.
Last week, the DUP tried to get the vote postponed, arguing that the appointment should be discussed during inter-party talks.

He said boulders "wiped out" ash trees and fears further movement could pose a risk to his house and the road below.
He said he has informed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Mr McDonnell, 56, said it was the biggest landslide he has seen in the area in his life.
He told the BBC it was still being carried downhill by the heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon.
The sheep and cattle farmer grazes his livestock on about 100 acres of land near cliffs in Kilmore and regularly inspects the animals at the spot where the landslide took place.
He said he believed his life would have been at risk if he had been walking in the area at the time, and fears his missing sheep may have been buried in the debris.
Mr McDonnell blamed the landslide on days of heavy rain, following a very wet December.
He has called for assistance from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to reinstate the grazing land he has lost.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) study found the risk of heart disease fell by about 30% when subjects were asked to lower blood pressure beyond current recommendations.
The results were so conclusive that the NIH ended the study a year early.
Experts have disagreed on how to control blood pressure as people age.
"More intensive management of high blood pressure in people 50 years and older can save lives and reduce cardiovascular complications such as heart attacks," said Dr. Gary Gibbons, director of the NIH's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which sponsored the study.
The current standard for systolic blood pressure - the greater of the two numbers that measure blood pressure - is 140mmHg. The diastolic standard is 80mmHg.
However, researchers in the study adjusted participants' medication so their systolic pressure became 120mmHg, achieving big reductions in heart attacks, heart failures and strokes.
Systolic blood pressure is measured when the heart muscle muscle is working. Diastolic blood pressure is measured when the heart muscle is resting and refilling with blood.
It is too early to know if the study will change the current guidelines. Researchers advised people to discuss any changes to their blood pressure with their doctors.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), high blood pressure can cause heart disease and stroke, which are two of the leading causes of death in the US.
About 70 million adults in the US - or one in three Americans - have high blood pressure, the CDC says. | New research has shown that aggressive treatment of high blood pressure can significantly reduce risks of heart disease and death in people over 50. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | They use LED (light-emitting diode) technology to measure cataracts at a molecular level.
This gives clinicians a better idea of whether patients need to have surgery.
About 10 million cataract removal operations are performed globally each year, and in the UK more than half of people who are over 65 have cataracts in one or both eyes.
In the later stages of cataract formation, patients commonly experience cloudy vision prior to treatment. It is also a recognised complication of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Heriot-Watt has been working with Edinburgh Biosciences Ltd and experts from Edinburgh University and organisations in Sweden and Denmark to develop the LED technique.
It allows clinicians to monitor a florescence signal from proteins in the eye lens and document changes during cataract formation.
Prof Rory Duncan from Heriot-Watt University said: "Rather than waiting for the condition to appear, it could be possible to diagnose and monitor a cataract before it forms, allowing preventative measures to be taken where possible.
'While this stage is not a cure for cataracts, we believe it could have wide-reaching benefits such as limiting the symptoms experienced by our increasingly-ageing population and those living with diabetes. It could significantly diminish the pressure on our health service."
He added: "We believe that the diagnostic also allows us to determine a patient's 'true age' as opposed to the age on their birth certificate.
"The technology identifies how much oxidative damage lens proteins have accumulated through lifestyle or environmental factors. This accumulated damage may be important in determining risk factors for a number of age-related conditions."
Prof Des Smith, one of the co-founders of the research, said: "This research brings us one step closer to developing a non-invasive treatment for cataracts."
The team will now conduct further studies in pigs to validate the findings, demonstrate safety in humans and explore whether non-invasive treatment is feasible. | Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have developed a new way to diagnose cataracts. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Turkish-born Incedal, 27, from London, was found not guilty after the jury deliberated for a total of 27 hours.
The court was adjourned briefly to allow the defendant to regain his composure, after he began weeping as he thanked the jurors.
Most of the trial had been held in secret, and the details of the accusation can still not be reported.
During the public sessions the trial heard how Incedal travelled to Syria, where he met a fighter known as Ahmed.
The pair discussed, via email, doing terrorist attacks in the summer of 2013, jurors were told.
Prosecutor Richard Whittam QC said the men were talking about the murder of an individual of significance, such as former prime minister Tony Blair, and an attack such as that in Mumbai, where automatic rifles were used and a number of people killed.
The attack in the Indian city, in November 2008, left 164 people dead.
The prosecution said Incedal's plans were scuppered by police who bugged his car after he was stopped for speeding in September 2013.
During a search of Incedal's car while he was in custody, officers found a slip of paper inside a glasses case which had the address of a property belonging to Mr Blair and his wife, Cherie.
Incedal was released and the listening device recorded him talking about buying a gun and his time in war-torn Syria.
After two weeks, armed police stopped him and his friend, Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, as they were driving near Tower Bridge in central London.
Inside Incedal's phone case was a memory card and on it were instructions on how to assemble a bomb.
He was convicted of possessing this bomb-making guide last year.
Incedal will be sentenced on Wednesday with Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, also 27, who admitted having an identical manual.
During a search of Incedal's family home in Unity Court, south east London, officers found notes for "Plan A" that referred to two "tennis racquets", which the court heard was code for guns.
The defendant said "Plan A" was a sketch of ideas for an armed robbery on a jewellers, which he had been thinking about proposing to three sons of the radical cleric Abu Hamza.
During the search of another address, in Sussex Gardens, near Paddington, police found Skype messages and emails on a laptop that included references to guns, the court heard.
Incedal, a married father-of-two, denied that he had been planning a terror attack with others.
He said that he had been living off student loans and was struggling to provide for his family at the time, so had been considering schemes to make money.
The judge told the jury there had been unusual arrangements regarding public attendance and reporting of the trial. These will be reviewed on Friday.
BBC home affairs correspondent June Kelly said the case had unprecedented levels of secrecy and much of the evidence was heard behind closed doors.
The decision to hold so much of trial in secret is likely to come under scrutiny, since the jury decided that the evidence it had heard did not prove the case against Ercol Incedal beyond reasonable doubt.
The Times's crime and security editor, Sean O'Neill, was one of the few journalists who was permitted to hear some of the court sessions, and expressed grave reservations about the enforced secrecy.
He said: "There is a lot that we have heard in court that should not have been secret and should be aired in public and scrutinised.

Summarize the provided information. | Under his direction, AQAP took advantage of the weak central government in Yemen to establish strongholds in tribal regions and become what US counter-terrorism officials described as the "most active operational franchise" of al-Qaeda beyond Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The group claimed responsibility for a number of high-profile attacks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, as well as a failed attempt to blow up a US passenger jet.
In August 2013, it was reported that Wuhayshi had been named al-Qaeda's "general manager", or second-in-command, showing his importance to the jihadist network's efforts to attack the West and suggesting he might be in line to succeed Ayman al-Zawahiri as overall leader.
But in June 2015, AQAP announced that Wuhayshi had been killed in a suspected US drone strike in the south-eastern port city of Mukalla.
Wuhayshi, who is from the southern Yemeni governorate of al-Baida, spent time in religious institutions before travelling to Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
He fought at the battle of Tora Bora in 2001, before escaping over the border into Iran, where he was eventually arrested. He was extradited to Yemen in 2003.
In 2006, Wuhayshi and 22 other suspected al-Qaeda members managed to escape from a prison in Sanaa. Among them were also Jamal al-Badawi, the alleged mastermind of the USS Cole bombing, and Qasim al-Raymi, AQAP's military commander.
After their escape from prison, Wuhayshi and Raymi were said to have overseen the formation of al-Qaeda in Yemen, which took in both new recruits and Arab fighters returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The group claimed responsibility for two suicide bomb attacks that killed six Western tourists before being linked to the assault on the US embassy in Sanaa in 2008, in which 10 Yemeni guards and four civilians died.
Four months later, Wuhayshi announced in a video the merger of the al-Qaeda offshoots in Yemen and Saudi Arabia to form "al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula". His appointment as AQAP leader was later confirmed by Zawahiri.
AQAP's first operation outside Yemen was carried out in Saudi Arabia in August 2009 against the kingdom's security chief, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, though he survived.
It later said it was behind the attempt to blow up a US passenger jet as it flew into Detroit on 25 December 2009. The Nigerian man who was convicted in relation with the incident, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, said AQAP operatives had trained him.
Two more plots targeting US aviation were foiled.
At home, Wuhayshi's group capitalised on political turmoil in Yemen resulting from the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011 to capture a string of towns and villages, only to be driven out of many areas in an army offensive in 2012 ordered by Mr Saleh's successor, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
At the same time, US President Barack Obama authorised a significant increase in the number of drone strikes targeting AQAP operatives in Yemen in 2012, resulting in the deaths of a number of senior figures, including Wuhayshi's Saudi-born deputy, Said al-Shihri.
The territorial losses did not, however, stop AQAP from launching a series of high-profile attacks targeting Yemeni security forces and government personnel. This included a suicide bombing at a military parade in Sanaa in May 2012 that killed more than 120 people and a raid on a hospital in the defence ministry compound in the capital in December 2013 that left 56 people dead.
In March 2014, Wuhayshi was filmed telling a large gathering of militants that AQAP would fight Western "Crusaders" and their allies everywhere.
That December, the group threatened to kill an American hostage, Luke Somers, if its unspecified demands were not met within three days. Somers was killed during a failed rescue attempt by US special forces.
The next month, AQAP claimed to be behind the deadly attack on the Paris offices of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, which had published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. US officials later confirmed that one of the gunmen had received training at an AQAP camp.
In Yemen, AQAP has recently capitalised on the chaos caused by a rebellion by the Houthi movement and a Saudi-led air campaign to weaken the Zaidi Shia group, expanding the territory it controlled in the south and east of the country.
However, the US drone strikes targeting AQAP did not stop and one was reported to have killed Wuhayshi as he met two fellow militants in Mukalla on 9 June.
On 16 June, an AQAP spokesman confirmed Wuhayshi's death and vowed that "the blood of these pioneers makes us more determined to sacrifice". | Nasser Abdul Karim al-Wuhayshi, a former private secretary to Osama Bin Laden, was the leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), formed in 2009 in a merger between two offshoots of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The Department of Infrastructure said the talks will focus on "increasing the resilience" of the service.
Thousands of people had their travel plans disrupted after the Manannan ferry suffered damage put at £100,000.
But Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne said it is not feasible for the company to keep a spare vessel "just in case".
He added: "While that would be ideal, very few shipping companies have the ability to provide contingency measures for these scenarios."
The firm said the ferry damage, which was caused by sea debris, was the "worst they have ever seen".
Repairs to the Manaan fast craft disrupted services from Douglas to Liverpool and Belfast between 3 and 10 April.
The company was also criticised by passengers for its communication of the problems.
"The department is currently considering the long-term provision of strategic sea services and part of that work will look at creating greater resilience on our ferry routes," continued Mr Gawne.
"We will also see what can be done at the Sea Terminal and Airport to assist operators by providing accurate and up-to-date information to passengers".
Since 2007, there have been 17 recorded major incidents where Steam Packet vessels have been damaged.
The ferry company said it did not know what caused the latest cancellations but it's not believed fishing gear was responsible. | Talks have opened between Isle of Man government officials and the Steam Packet Company to discuss ways to improve ferry services. |
