Can you provide a summary of this content? | Players such as striker Eniola Aluko - the star of Chelsea's win over Notts County in last year's final - and legendary Arsenal forward Kelly Smith may be familiar names, but the domestic game in England now boasts more overseas stars than ever before.
So who are the players to look out for on Saturday?
Manager Emma Hayes has called her Chelsea's 'little magician' and South Korea forward Ji So-Yun certainly has the skill to conjure up goals for the Blues.
Having netted the only goal in last year's final and in Chelsea's 2015 semi-final win over Manchester City, Ji's goals were crucial to her side winning their first major trophy.
And the 2015 PFA Women's Player of the Year has been at it again in the cup already this year, as her precise free-kick saved Chelsea in the semi-finals against City in April, sending the match into extra-time, when they had looked destined for a frustrating exit.
Unquestionably one of the most skilful female players in the world, Ji has the natural ability to steal the limelight at Wembley and be a match-winner once again.

Nigeria forward Asisat Oshoala, who has 11 goals in 17 international appearances, could be one of Arsenal's wildcard picks on Saturday.
The 2015 BBC Women's Footballer of the Year, who finished as the top scorer at the Women's Under-20 World Cup in 2014, joined the Gunners from Liverpool in March and scored on her league debut against Reading.
Her pace can hurt any team, but it is not clear whether she will start for Pedro Martinez Losa's side, having made three starts and three substitute appearances so far this season.
Having won nine FA Cups already in her career, Chelsea's Katie Chapman will be bidding to add yet another medal to her illustrious CV, and this time she is up against her former club.
But she is also facing her England team-mate, and the Lionesses' most-capped player, Fara Williams.
Like Oshoala, Williams moved from Liverpool this winter, leaving a club with whom she had won back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014.
The two veterans of the English game will go head-to-head for control of the midfield at Wembley - but could another, younger, Lioness take the headlines instead?
Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs, 23, has already shown she can produce goals in big games, netting a superb brace in November's Continental Cup final, as Arsenal beat Notts County 3-0.
If you're looking for a player who has shown she can handle serious pressure, look no further than Arsenal's 19-year-old Leah Williamson.
Last April, the versatile teenager hit the headlines in the most unusual of circumstances, playing for the England Under-19 side.
She had to take a nerve-wracking penalty kick, five days on from when it was originally awarded, after an unprecedented intervention by Uefa.

Williamson had converted the original penalty, in a crucial European Championships qualifier against Norway, only for the German referee to mistakenly cancel it out.
Uefa ordered it to be taken again, both sides returned to play less than two minutes of football, and Williamson netted from the spot to secure England's qualification for the finals.
A breakthrough season in Arsenal's first team followed and, as one of the rising stars in the English game, this will surely not be her last cup final.
After battling back from depression and later returning to football following the sudden death of her mother, Fran Kirby won the hearts of so many across the nation when she scored for England at the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
Then came the relatively big-money move from her childhood club Reading to Chelsea, and then came the pressure.
But under that pressure, Kirby delivered, scoring as Chelsea beat Sunderland to clinch the league title in October and then scoring the club's first ever Women's Champions League goal, as they overcame Scottish champions Glasgow City.
This year, the player that England boss Mark Sampson dubbed 'mini-Messi' after her timely intervention in June's 2-1 win over Mexico, has gone from strength to strength and netted both goals in Chelsea's 2-0 league win over Arsenal last month.
She is certainly one of the in-form players in the Women's Super League and a safe bet to continue making a name for herself.
If Saturday's final goes to penalties, Arsenal will have confidence in their keeper, the Netherlands' Sari van Veenendaal, after her heroics in their quarter-final tie against Notts County.
The young shot stopper's three saves in the shoot-out helped them beat Notts 4-3 on penalties, having also knocked out Birmingham City on penalties in the last 16.
Her opposite number on Saturday, Chelsea and Sweden's Hedvig Lindahl, kept the most clean sheets in 2015 - eight in 14 Women's Super League games, and is in good form.
They will both be expected to impress for their countries at next summer's European Championships.
In 2015, opposition managers were hailing Chelsea's "magnificent" front four of Aluko, Gemma Davison, Ji and Kirby.
But now that four has become five, with the addition of Birmingham captain Karen Carney in the winter.
It is unclear which four of the five manager Hayes might opt to start with, but with England duo Davison and Carney on the wings, Chelsea will inevitably be dangerous.
Among those trying to stop them will be England defensive duo of right-back Alex Scott and centre-back Casey Stoney, who team up once again with iconic former England forward Smith, in search of yet more silverware.
The trio were all part of the Arsenal side that won the 2014 final at Stadium MK, beating Everton 2-0.
Other internationals preparing for Saturday's game include Arsenal's Spain trio Marta Corredera, Vicky Losada and Natalia, their young England striker Danielle Carter, who netted a hat-trick on her international debut, and Chelsea's reliable England defenders Gilly Flaherty and Claire Rafferty.
It is a chance for them all to shine under the Wembley arch and the watchful eyes of millions on live television.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Police and paramedics were called to Westlands Caravan Park in Canterbury Road, Herne Bay, Kent, following reports of an attack at about 14:00 BST.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Anne Carlisle's pay rise was one of the highest of all UK vice chancellors last year, a study for The Times Higher Education showed.
Lecturers said it was a "disgrace" as they fight a 1.1% pay offer.
But, university bosses said it was "a reflection of the continued growth and success of the university".
Ms Carlisle's overall pay, including performance-related pay and pensions contributions, rose by £57,391 to £285,900 in 2014-15, a 25.1% increase, the university confirmed.
The average wage in Cornwall last year was £17,340, according to Cornwall Council.
Falmouth University has about 4,200 students and Ms Carlisle's rise means she earns more than the £271,000 paid to Sir Timothy O'Shea, principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, which has 35,500 students, according to the study.
The university said the vice chancellor's pay was determined by the remuneration committee of its board of governors and she was not part of the discussions.
A spokesman said 97% of the university's graduates were in work or further study six months after graduating and 20% of its graduates had started their own businesses - five times the national average.
The University and College Union (UCU) is taking part in a two-day strike at universities next week as part of an ongoing pay dispute over the 1.1% pay rise offered by the employer body, the Universities and Colleges Employer Association.
UCU general secretary Sally Hunt called the rise "blatant double standards".
She said: "Universities need to answer some hard questions about how they will continue to attract and retain the best talent when pay is being held down and hardworking staff are receiving such poor reward for their efforts."
Dragons will become the first Welsh team to face Russian club Enisei STM.
Jones was head coach of Russia's national team between 2011 and 2014 and is not daunted by the trip.
"Travelling over to Siberia is exciting for us and a bit of a challenge and a new adventure for the players," Jones said.
"It's something we have to be ready for. We've got no fears of going there. I know the players, the coaches as well as anyone could.
"They're a good side, they'll be committed but we fancy our chances. The challenge is to perform on such a long journey.
Enisei-STM made history during the 2015-16 season as the the first Russian team to take part in European competition.
In last season's Challenge Cup, Pro12 champions Connacht beat Enisei 31-14 in Siberia while Newcastle Falcons lost 24-7 in a game that was switched to Sochi.
Dragons were beaten semi-finalists in the previous two seasons of the European Challenge Cup.
Brive and Worcester are also in the group alongside the team from Siberia, where temperatures can reach -7.2 degrees celsius in the winter.
Jones is hoping they will play Enisei away in December or January so the game can be moved to Sochi, where the weather is a little warmer.
"Sochi is a lot better than Wales in December and January," Jones said.
"I think a difficult fixture would be October/November. If you play them first up then they're likely to play that in Siberia and it can be very, very cold."
The 41-year-old scored nine birdies to move to 13 under overall, tied with fellow American Webb Simpson.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson added a 66 to his first-round 62 and trails by one shot.
World number 751 Matt Every, who shot a 61 on Thursday, carded a 72 to slip to seven under par overall.
Ireland's Shane Lowry is on nine under par, with Scotland's Russell Knox one shot further back, while England's Greg Owen is on even par.
Luke Donald - who was runner-up in the tournament in 2016 - remains on one under. | An overall pay rise of nearly £60,000 for Falmouth University's vice-chancellor taking her wage close to £300,000 has angered staff.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | It has cut its manufacturing forecasts, expecting a 0.1% fall in 2015, with 0.8% growth next year.
Its survey also points to serious concerns about the outlook for the global economy.
Meanwhile, a report from Lloyds Bank shows car manufacturers have also lowered their growth forecasts.
The EEF says that weakening demand from developed and emerging markets have become more prominent, leading to falling exports.
As well as exports, the EEF says job prospects have been hit, particularly with more spare capacity in the oil industry, which has been hit by falling prices.
Meanwhile, recent job losses in steel companies have also hit the sector.
The EEF report follows last week's Markit Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which showed UK manufacturing slowing in October.
Manufacturing accounts for about 10% of the output of the UK economy.
The production industries: mining, quarrying, gas, electricity, water and sewage account for another 5%, and construction makes up 6%.
EEF chief economist Lee Hopley told the BBC that the findings were a "disappointing end to the year".
She said the collapse in the oil price, slower world trade growth and weaker-than-expected construction activity had all contributed to weaker manufacturing activity.
She added that the chancellor's recent Spending Review had some "positive" policies for industry, but it was important the government continued to act to ensure the UK was a competitive location for manufacturing.
In the last decade, manufacturing grew gradually from 2005 to 2008, at which point it took a dive in the financial crisis, in common with the rest of the economy.
It recovered from 2010 until the start of 2012 and its growth has been volatile since then.
The sector is still below its pre-crisis peaks, unlike the service sector, which is well above its pre-crisis level.
Meanwhile, carmakers have also revised down their growth forecasts for the next two years to 14%, down from 18% last year, according to a Lloyds Bank survey.
The bank found 43% of automotive firms believed the global economy was the prevailing challenge for the industry.
David Atkinson, head of SME manufacturing at Lloyds Bank, told the BBC's Today Programme: "The worldwide economic rollercoaster is forcing them to scale back their growth plans." | UK manufacturing is encountering a poor end to the year amid "gathering gloom" from the global economy, according to industry body the EEF. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | Domestic stability has not translated into economic prosperity for Tanzanians, however. Many of its people live below the World Bank poverty line, although the country has had some success in wooing donors and investors.
Tanzania is home to two renowned tourism destinations - Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, and wildlife-rich national parks such as the Serengeti - but has become a target for poachers.

President: John Magufuli
Nicknamed "The Bulldozer" for his energetic road-building drive and reputation for honesty as minister, President John Magufuli stood on promises to boost economic performance and, like the opposition, fight corruption.
But he was expected to face stiff resistance on the last count from civil servants from within his own Chama Cha Mapinduzi party, which has run Tanzania since independence.
His other major election pledges - to tackle youth unemployment and establish free primary and secondary education - will to a large degree depend on cautious management of resources.
Mr Magufuli also faces rising political discontent on the island of Zanzibar, where local elections had to be scrapped over vote-rigging allegations shortly before he took office.
Laws encourage self-censorship while threats and attacks against journalists hinder critical reporting, according to US-based Freedom House.
That has not stopped the country's media scene from developing: once small and largely state-controlled, the media industry has grown rapidly following the advent of the multi-party era in the mid-1990s.
Television was a latecomer, with state TV launched only in 2001.
Some key dates in Tanzania's history:
1498 - Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama visits Tanzanian coast. Portugal succeeds in controlling most of the East African coast, until it is ousted from Zanzibar in 1699 by Omani Arabs.
1884 - German Colonisation Society begins to acquire territory, ushering in an era of German control over mainland Tanzania, while Britain enjoys a protectorate over Zanzibar.
1916 - British, Belgian and South African troops occupy German East Africa. Three years later, the League of Nations gives Britain a mandate over Tanganyika - today's mainland Tanzania.
1961 - Tanganyika becomes independent with Julius Nyerere as prime minister; Zanzibar gains independence in 1963.
1978 - Ugandans temporarily occupy a piece of Tanzanian territory and, in 1979, Tanzanian forces invade Uganda, occupying the capital, Kampala, and help to oust President Idi Amin.
1992 - Constitution amended to allow multi-party politics.
1998 - Al-Qaeda Islamist terror group bombs US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.
2001 - At least 31 people are killed and another 100 arrested in Zanzibar in protests against the government's banning of opposition rallies calling for fresh elections. Later the same year, tens of thousands of opposition supporters march through the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, in the first major joint demonstration by opposition parties in decades.

Just after midday, the FTSE 100 overall was almost flat, up 0.33% to 7,366.67.
Barratt Developments was one of the few bright spots, surging 4.4% after the house builder said full year profit would be at the top end of forecasts.
The firm expects a £733m pre-tax profit for the year to the end of June, up 7% on the previous year, despite building a similar level of homes.
The builder has been boosted by rising house prices and government schemes to help people get on the housing ladder.

Sanogo, on loan from Arsenal, was sent off during injury-time of the 0-0 draw for appearing to elbow Dons defender Antony Kay off the ball.
"He's clearly off the ball, he's had one go and a second," said Robinson.
"Equally, Rob Hall's been clotheslined on the the far side. Some of the challenges were borderline assault."
He continued to BBC Three Counties Radio: "I was expecting to see the police in the tunnel at the end of the game because the challenges were so bad.
"I know it's about fighting and competing for survival in one of the most difficult leagues in Europe, but there's still got to be an element of control."
Addicks boss Jose Riga said after the game: "[I've] not yet [seen the Sanogo incident], but he did something silly - apologised - so I suppose he did something.
"We don't need this in our situation, certainly not.
"We are all nervous about the situation. [To not win] against a direct opponent, it's two times more difficult [to survive]."
In 2012, Dons defender Gary MacKenzie headbutted Charlton striker Yann Kermorgant at The Valley, an action for which he apologised for afterwards.
"Four years ago I sent Gary MacKenzie into the press conference to apologise to everybody for his actions," said Robinson.
"We took full responsibility and it's not an acceptable part of the game, and today it's been the reverse happened against us - he could have broken his jaw.
"Their manager didn't shake my hand until we were in the tunnel either, so it ended on a bitter note for me. But we were the better team."
The result at The Valley leaves the Dons 21st in the Championship with 10 games to play, and seven points above Charlton in 23rd.
The tunnel near the Israeli border collapsed after heavy rain, it said.
Palestinian militants have used tunnels on Gaza's borders with Israel and Egypt to launch attacks on Israel, transport weapons or smuggle goods.
Israel destroyed dozens of tunnels during the 2014 Gaza conflict, but Hamas has been rebuilding them.
Meanwhile, tunnels on the Egyptian border have been used to smuggle weapons into Gaza, as well as civilian goods.
The tunnels have played a vital role in the economy of Gaza, which has been under a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in 2007.
The Egyptian military began flooding tunnels on its borders late last year, and says it has eliminated about 90% of them.
Israel occupied Gaza in the 1967 Middle East war and pulled its troops and settlers out in 2005.
Israel considered this the end of the occupation, but it still exercises control over most of Gaza's borders, waters and airspace.

Summarize the information given below. | A total of 3,569 rough sleepers were identified by counts and estimates by local authorities in Autumn 2015, up from 2,744 a year before.
Labour said the figures were "the starkest possible reminder" of Conservative housing policy failure.
Ministers said government funding for homelessless over the next four years had been increased to £139m.
The latest figures have been released by the Department for Communities and Local Government, which described them as "single night snapshots".
London accounted for 26% of the total, a similar proportion to the previous year. The local authority recording the highest totals was Westminster, followed by Bristol, Brighton and Hove, Manchester and Cornwall.
Labour's shadow housing minister John Healey said: "People will find it extraordinary that in England in the 21st century the number of people forced to sleep rough is going up - and this is only the tip of the iceberg."
He urged ministers to exempt accommodation for homeless people from housing benefit cuts.
Homelessness Minister Marcus Jones said nobody should ever have to sleep rough.
"We have protected homelessness prevention funding and expect local authorities to provide quality advice and assistance to all those that approach them for help," he said.
Mr Jones said a £5m "social impact bond" would help people with mental health problems or addiction to move off the streets.
Separate figures relating to London, compiled by the Combined Homelessness and Information Network, found that 14% of the rough sleepers identified in the capital in 2014-15 were female.
Where nationalities were available, 43% were from the UK, and 36% from Central and Eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 or 2007. | The number of people sleeping rough in England increased by 30% in a year, new figures show. |

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Bowie's life-long collaborator, producer Tony Visconti, worked with him on albums stretching from 1969's breakthrough Space Oddity to his latest LP Blackstar, which was released on Friday.
Visconti wrote on Facebook that he knew Blackstar would be Bowie's "parting gift".
"He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. His death was no different from his life - a work of Art.
"He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it.
"He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry."
Brian Eno worked with Bowie on albums including his legendary Berlin Trilogy in the mid-1970s. He has issued a statement paying tribute to his friend:
"David's death came as a complete surprise, as did nearly everything else about him. I feel a huge gap now.
"We knew each other for over 40 years, in a friendship that was always tinged by echoes of Pete and Dud. Over the last few years - with him living in New York and me in London - our connection was by email. We signed off with invented names: some of his were mr showbiz, milton keynes, rhoda borrocks and the duke of ear.
"About a year ago we started talking about Outside - the last album we worked on together. We both liked that album a lot and felt that it had fallen through the cracks. We talked about revisiting it, taking it somewhere new. I was looking forward to that.
"I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: 'Thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot'. And it was signed 'Dawn'.
"I realise now he was saying goodbye."
Iggy Pop and David Bowie became good friends in the mid-1970s, relocating to Berlin together as Bowie helped write and produce Pop's first two solo albums, while Pop fed into Bowie's albums including Low. Iggy Pop tweeted:
Madonna wrote a heartfelt statement about Bowie's influence on Facebook:
"I'm devastated.
"David Bowie changed the course of my life forever. I never felt like I fit in growing up in Michigan. Like an oddball or a freak. I went to see him in concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit. It was the first concert I'd ever been too. I snuck out of the house with my girlfriend wearing a cape.
"We got caught after and I was grounded for the summer. I didn't care. I already had many of his records and was so inspired by the way he played with gender confusion. Was both masculine and feminine. Funny and serious. Clever and wise. His lyrics were witty ironic and mysterious.
"At the time he was the thin white Duke and he had mime artists on stage with him and very specific choreography. And I saw how he created a persona and used different art forms within the arena of rock and Roll to create entertainment.
"I found him so inspiring and innovative. Unique and provocative. A real Genius. His music was always inspiring but seeing him live set me off on a journey that for me I hope will never end.
"His photographs are hanging all over my house today. He was so chic and beautiful and elegant. So ahead of his time.
"Thank you David Bowie. I owe you a lot. The world will miss you."
In a statement, Sir Paul McCartney said:
"Very sad news to wake up to on this raining morning. David was a great star and I treasure the moments we had together. His music played a very strong part in British musical history and I'm proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world.
"I send my deepest sympathies to his family and will always remember the great laughs we had through the years. His star will shine in the sky forever."
Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr added:
Tributes have flooded in from other many artists across the musical spectrum, demonstrating how far Bowie's influence spread.
Kanye West:
The Rolling Stones, whose frontman Mick Jagger sang with Bowie on 1985's Dancing in the Street, sent two tweets:
Pharrell Williams:
Foo Fighters:
One Direction's Harry Styles:
Kiss frontman Gene Simmons:
Boy George:
Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp:
Other figures from the music world paying tribute included former Soft Cell singer Marc Almond, who said: "I can't think of an artist that I've felt as much affected by, who's died. And I spent most of the morning in tears actually.
"You can't overestimate really what an enormous cultural influence he was. And for someone like me, you know, thirteen, fourteen, sort of growing up, the music world then was a very masculine world.
"And for David Bowie to come along and to have this expressive theatricality, it's was like a beacon of kind of hope and light."
Annie Lennox wrote on Facebook: "No one exists forever and it seems our elegant gentleman was well aware that his last mortal chapter was about to reach it's conclusion.
"Dark Star [sic] was his parting gift. Provocative and nightmarishly 'otherworldly'… we are jolted towards the twilight realms of epileptic seizures and voodoo scarecrows.
"The bejewelled remains of Major Tom lie dormant in a dust coated space suit… It leaves me breathless. You must see it to believe it… He knew… He could see through it all."
Ultravox's Midge Ure told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We all look towards what he did. We're all still walking in his slipstream. We're all still many, many yards behind what he was doing. Because he led the way. He was the leader, he was the governor.
"He was consistent in the quality of what he did. Some things he did were more commercially successful than others. But you do get the overwhelming impression that commercial success wasn't his driving force.
"Creativity was. Constantly pushing the boundaries, constantly crossing barriers, you know, invisible walls he just seemed to walk through and move into areas that no-one would expect him to do."
In a statement, Peter Gabriel said: "He meant so much to me and to so many. He was a one-off, a brilliant outlier, always exploring, challenging and inspiring anyone who wanted to push the boundaries of music, art, fashion and society.
"There are so few artists who can touch a generation as he did, we will miss him badly. Long Live Lazarus."
The Human League's Martyn Ware told BBC 5 live that Bowie was "an artist, rather than just a musician".
Ware said he didn't think his "career would have happened at all, were it not for David Bowie", adding: "It wasn't just about the music he made, it was about fashion, it was about - he lived his life as though he were an art installation."
And Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis recalled Bowie's first appearance at the event. "He came in '71 with lovely, long flowing hair like a hippie, he was fantastically beautiful and nobody knew who he was," Eavis said.
"He played at four in the morning at sunrise, songs that we'd never heard before and it was great fun. He's one of the three greatest, there is Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and David Bowie. I was only half awake because I'd been up all night."
Bowie's influence spread beyond the music world, as UK Prime Minister David Cameron has attested. Mr Cameron recently picked Hunky Dory as his favourite album.
"Today we are mourning the loss of an immense British talent," he said. "Genius is an over-used word but I think musically, creatively, artistically David Bowie was a genius.
"For someone of my age he provided a lot of the soundtrack of our lives, from the first time I heard Space Oddity to watching our athletes appear in those wonderful Olympics to the strains of Heroes.
"He was a master of reinvention and one of the things that is so incredible is almost all his reinventions were incredible successes and worked brilliantly. So, we mourn the loss of a great talent. We think about his family and friends, who have lost a loved one too early, but I think also we celebrate an immense British talent who has enriched all of our lives."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that Bowie was a "great musician, great entertainer".
"As soon as I heard of his death, very, very sad, Life On Mars comes flowing back into my mind. Wonderful song, wonderful guy," he said.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby also gave his reaction to the star's death, speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
He said: "I'm very very saddened to hear of his death. I remember sitting and listening to his songs endlessly in the '70s particularly, and always really relishing what he was, what he did, the impact he had."
And the Vatican's chief spokesman on cultural matters, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, tweeted the lyrics to Space Oddity:

Please summarize the following text. | Canon Joanna Penberthy became the 129th Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire after an electoral college of 47 people spent two days locked in the cathedral before coming to their decision.
Canon Penberthy, 56, appointed the cathedral's first woman canon in 2007, takes over the role from Wyn Evans.
The decision to allow women bishops was made following a vote in 2013.
She said she had faced discrimination and could accept not everybody would be happy with the appointment.
"I think the first thing to stress there is, as someone who in the early years was at the receiving end of prejudice and discrimination, I have absolutely no intention of dishing that out so I think it's important that everybody feels free to be honest about their opinions and about their misgivings."
When asked whether this could pave the way for her to become Archbishop, Canon Penberthy said: "Don't you think we'd better let me learn how to be a bishop first?"
She added: "I was stunned, absolutely stunned, overwhelmed really. It's a huge responsibility whether you're a man or a woman.
"But it's also such a joy, not just to me but for all the women who through the centuries have had the courage to bear witness to their vocation."
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, called it "an historic moment" for the church.
Women bishops are also allowed in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, where plans were formally approved in November 2014. The Right Reverend Libby Lane, was made Bishop of Stockport in January 2015.
St Davids' new bishop was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge and St John's College, Nottingham, and undertook ordination training at Cranmer Hall, Durham, in 1983.
Canon Penberthy was then a Deaconess in the city, before working in the role in Cardiff between 1985 and 1989.
She also served as a non-stipendiary minister in Cardiff, St Asaph and St Davids, between 1987 and 1995.
In February 2007, while vicar of Cynwyl Gaeo, Llansawel and Talley, she became the first woman appointed canon at St Davids Cathedral, a role she remained in until 2010.
She is currently the rector of the parish of Glan Ithon, near Llandrindod Wells, Powys. | The Church in Wales' first woman bishop has said she faced prejudice at the start of her career. |
Summarize the information given below. | Guns both old and new fired a 21-gun salute during the display on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire.
The celebrations culminated with a "feu de joie" - a cascade of volleys - by six AS90 self-propelled guns.
The Gunners were formed by a royal warrant three centuries ago, on 26 May 1716.
The Queen, who is the regiment's Captain General, paid tribute to the troops: "In all the theatres of war and in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions throughout the world, you have served with great distinction, especially so in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It has indeed been a demanding period for Gunners of all ranks and for your families who have so closely supported you. You should be rightly proud of your achievements."

James Thompson took his own life last year shortly after Leicester's Bradgate Unit said it was full, although he was offered inpatient treatment elsewhere.
An inquest returned a conclusion of suicide and that the care he received was good.
His family said they were satisfied with the verdict but added that they had concerns over funding.
The 44-year-old chef, who lived in Leicester, had a history of mental health problems including anxiety and depression.
His family have previously said he "begged" to be sectioned but the inquest heard that while he had seen health professionals he often did not engage in treatment.
He was offered inpatient treatment but there were no beds available in Leicester and he did not want to go elsewhere.
Bill Timson, Mr Thompson's stepfather, said: "I am concerned about the level of mental health funding.
"There wasn't a bed for James when the time was absolutely necessary as far as we're concerned. He was offered a bed... but it was going to be out of the area."
Assistant coroner for Leicester Dianne Hocking concluded Mr Thompson died as a result of suicide and the care he received from Leicestershire mental health services was good.
In a statement, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, which is responsible for mental health services in the county, said: "We were deeply saddened by the death of Mr Thompson.
"We want to extend our sincere sympathies to Mr Thompson's family on their tragic loss and would welcome the opportunity to meet with them, if they wish."
The temporary closure of the Carlisle site hit supplies of McVitie's ginger nuts, Crawford's custard creams and Carr's water biscuits, among others.
United Biscuits said there had been "substantial flood damage" to electrical equipment and ovens.
Manufacturing director Mark Taylor said customers had written to ask when the biscuits would be back on shelves.
How have we coped without biscuits?
A number of shoppers "rather than buy another pack, they actually hunted down the store manager, harangued him for 10 minutes about why ginger nuts weren't there and left the shop without buying anything", he said.
Storms Desmond and Eva caused widespread damage in Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Nearly 40 million litres of water and 540 tonnes of debris had to be cleared before normal production at the Carlisle site could resume, the company said.
Hundreds of staff, suppliers and contractors worked to get the lines running.
"It was a fantastic team effort to clean the place up, repair it and get it back in great shape," Mr Taylor said.
"We can announce officially the biscuit crisis is over."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | A train travelling from Penzance to Exeter collided with another train on platform six just after 15.30 BST on 3 April.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch initial findings found the signaller believed there was enough space for both trains on the platform.
About 35 people were injured.

The report said: "Allowing trains to share a platform is known as permissive working, and is allowed for passenger trains using platform six.
"The signaller could see the rear of the train from the signal box window and estimated there was enough room for the moving train to fit on the platform. This was not the case."
One of the trains was moved to platform six due to passenger lifts being closed for maintenance on alternative platforms, the report said.
While approaching Plymouth, the moving train accelerated to about 21 mph and went through a relatively tight, left-hand curve.
That is when the driver saw the rear of the stationary train on platform six and was surprised to see it so close to the west end of the platform.
The investigation report said: "He looked at the tracks to confirm which route the train was taking and, realising a collision was imminent, applied the emergency brake.
"This was around three seconds before the collision, which occurred at about 15 mph.
"Many passengers were standing in preparation to leave the train and were thrown into the train's fixtures and onto the floor. | A signaller misjudged the space available on the platform for two trains that collided in Plymouth, an initial investigation has found. |
Give a brief summary of the following article. | Dr Rebecca Payne said there is a particular problem in north Wales with GPs getting older and fewer younger doctors taking over.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) is launching a recruitment film to trigger a change.
The Welsh government says an extra £10m is being spent on primary care.
RCGP Wales spokeswoman Dr Payne, who teaches medical students at Cardiff University and works as a GP for an out of hours service in north Wales, said it is hard to know exactly how many more GPs are needed in Wales.
"Patients are telling us they are struggling to get appointments and we are working harder and harder," she said.
The Welsh government said, overall, GP numbers in Wales have increased by 11% between 2003 and 2013.
But the RCGP reckons more GPs will be needed across the UK as the aging population continues to grow.
Its film aims to "tackle media stereotypes of general practice as less stimulating and exciting than other medical careers".
Meanwhile, Health Minister Mark Drakeford has announced that an extra £6m will be spent over the next year to help healthcare professionals and free up GP time look after people with more complex needs. Another £4m will be spent on improving access to community care.
In all, 64 primary care "clusters" have been set up across Wales of GP practices working with pharmacists, dentists, optometrists, therapists, nurses and healthcare workers.
They will run a primary care support team to provide locum cover or offer training and advice to manage local service pressures among other things.
"We are shifting focus from hospital-based care to improving population health and community-based care," said Mr Drakeford. | A GP said she hopes a UK-wide campaign to recruit medical students into the profession will ease pressure on doctors' practices in Wales. |

Wiltshire Chief Constable Mike Veale said he wanted "to put the record straight" on the case of Christopher Halliwell who was given a rare whole life sentence for killing Becky Godden.
Mr Veale said the criticism was based on "misunderstanding, misleading information and factual inaccuracies".
In his latest blog, Mr Veale "thought long and hard" before he responded.
Halliwell, a former taxi driver, from Swindon, was already serving a prison sentence for the 2011 murder of Sian O'Callaghan, but was last month given a whole life term for the murder of Becky Godden - five years after he confessed to her murder.
Police irregularities meant Halliwell could not originally be charged with the murder, but a new case was brought when police found new evidence that led to his conviction.
In 2011, ex-detective Steve Fulcher failed to caution Halliwell when he originally confessed to Becky's killing, which meant any prosecution case could not go ahead.
Mr Fulcher was later found guilty of two counts of gross misconduct and resigned from the force in 2014.
Ms Godden's mother, Karen Edwards, has praised Mr Fulcher for his actions but he has been repeatedly criticised by her father John Godden.
In his blog, Mr Veale said: "As a result of the obvious emotions and complexities of this case the public criticism and unjustified challenge of Wiltshire Police was entirely predicted and expected."
He said the case has had "raised a number of issues, including the legislation relating to interviews" of suspects.
However, he said they wanted to avoid a "media frenzy" which could in turn lead to the families with missing or murdered loved ones being "re-traumatised".
Mr Veale also raised the issue of press speculation over other women "who may or may not have been a victim of Halliwell".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4 last week, Mr Fulcher said Halliwell had told him "police want to interview me about eight murders".
But Mr Veale wrote: "This speculation is not helpful and is very distressing to the families involved.
"At this time Wiltshire Police has not uncovered any links between Halliwell and any other murders across the country."

Sixth seed Konta, 26, matched Virginia Wade's 1978 feat with a gutsy 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 win over Romanian second seed Simona Halep.
She has equalled her best Grand Slam run and will next face Venus Williams.
"Ever since I was nine years old I've believed in my own ability and dreamed big," Konta told BBC Sport.
"I don't give myself too much time to dream and more focus on the work. I just stuck to my true self."
Konta was watched by Wade from the Royal Box on Centre Court, with the 1977 champion describing the Briton's performance on Tuesday as "absolutely stunning".
"Both players were so good but she had a tougher mind and was more aggressive," Wade said.
"It's fine to be the last British women's winner to win Wimbledon, but it's better to have plenty of British players to win. I'm just surprised it's taken so long."

Six-time Wimbledon singles champion Billie Jean King praised the way Konta handled herself both during and after the match.
"I love the fact that she talks about her ambition. Women are taught not to talk about ambition," said the American, who won 39 Grand Slam titles across singles and doubles.
"We should be nice, be polite - she says it like it is. She never takes anything for granted."
Konta, ranked seventh in the world, is the first British woman to be among the top 10 since Jo Durie in April 1984.
"She knows that every time she goes on court it's a blessing," King added.
"Great Britain should be so proud of her and she should be proud of herself."

"I think it makes it more special because it is home.
"I feel my opponents have pushed me, and I in turn them, and to create such a sporting excitement for the crowd makes it very special."

The 67 navy veterans who served with the Arctic convoys were being given Ushakov medals for their role supplying the Eastern front.

Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal at Estadio Nacional, a thunderous early strike that ended his run of six international games without a goal.
But Belgium's so-called golden generation were undone by another quicksilver Lionel Messi performance, as Argentina set up a last-four encounter with Netherlands in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.
The two-time champions again failed to reach their fluid best, and it is significant that all five of their wins at this World Cup have been by a single goal.
Belgium went out with something of a whimper, lacking cohesion, creativity and precision and only threatening late on when they played one long ball after another towards Marouane Fellaini.
But on the day he equalled Diego Maradona's haul of 91 caps for Argentina, Messi stood apart, with a performance of majesty that propelled his side into the last four.
Media playback is not supported on this device
At times, he was balletic, at others he was bold. He played 40-yard passes with the precision of a master craftsman and pirouetted away from danger time and again.
Sharper to the ball, more urgent in possession, Argentina started the quicker of the sides.
With Brazil striker Neymar confined to a wheelchair, there was a sense the tournament needed one of its superstars to produce a performance to remember. Messi did not disappoint.
Belgium did not help themselves, however. Captain Vincent Kompany gave possession away carelessly inside his own half after eight minutes, the ball running to Messi.
The Barcelona forward spun away from two defenders and clipped a pass to Angel Di Maria. His pass was deflected into the path of Higuain, who swivelled and volleyed unerringly beyond Thibaut Courtois to send the tens of thousands of Argentina fans in the stadium into raptures.
There was more Messi magic to come. Argentina's talisman danced his way through a crowd of Belgium players before being clipped on the edge of the area. His resulting free-kick curled narrowly wide but Belgium were on the back foot.
For much of the opening 45 minutes, the Red Devils were insipid, not inventive.
Kevin de Bruyne stung Sergio Romero's palms from distance and Kevin Mirallas headed a Jan Vertonghen cross narrowly wide, but there was little pace or purpose.
With Messi in the spotlight, Eden Hazard struggled to escape the shadow. Belgium were caught between wanting to throw caution to the wind and a fear of what Argentina might do on the counter attack.
An example came 10 minutes into the second half, when Mirallas lost the ball after a swift Belgium break. Higuain raced away, nutmegged Kompany and skimmed a curling shot onto the crossbar.
The introduction of substitutes Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens was an attempt to change that dynamic.
With time running out, Vertonghen found Fellaini, who headed over. Moments later, Ezequiel Garay almost deflected De Bruyne's cross into his own net. Hazard was replaced by Tottenham's Nacer Chadli as Marc Wilmots played his last card.
Belgium poured forward in search of a goal that might take them to extra time, but failed to produce a moment that called Romero into serious action. Messi had a chance to cap his display with a late goal, only for Courtois to smother his shot when the pair faced each other one on one.
With time running out, Belgium came again, Lukaku prodding a ball across goal before Axel Witsel fired the rebound over. But Argentina and Messi stood firm.

They were five points clear at the top of the Conference West league with three games remaining when they lost eight players to Wales duty.
England Hockey, who run the league, denied a request to postpone the games and Cardiff lost both, much to the frustration of head coach Wallid Abdo.
"It's frustrating, I feel like the door was slammed in our face," Abdo said.
England Hockey league rules state that teams cannot postpone matches due to player unavailability, whatever the reason.
Abdo believes Cardiff are in a unique situation compared to their rivals across the border, however, as they have so many Wales internationals in their ranks.
"We've had to play two league fixtures without eight of our senior internationals and now we are second in the table after losing those two vital games," Abdo added.
"We petitioned England Hockey by email and asked if we could postpone the games but they came back and said no, stating that other clubs have had to put up with internationals being away.
"But I don't know any English clubs that have eight, nine, ten internationals playing in their first sixteen."
To win the Conference West, Cardiff and Met have to win their last match this weekend and hope Team Bath either draw or lose.
England Hockey have discussed changing the rules next season but that has come too late for Abdo's side.
He added: "All we wanted was some understanding of our special circumstances.
"We are a small nation and we are trying our best to get our hockey nation to develop and being in the Premier League is the perfect place to do that."
England Hockey's competitions manager Stephen Barlow said if club fixtures were postponed for international dates, the disruption to the domestic season would be too great.
He commented: "Not dissimilar to other sports such as rugby and cricket, domestic hockey in England continues when international matches are played.
"The league regulations, which Cardiff and all clubs sign up to, are clear that there are no postponement regulations in place for player unavailability."

When asked why it had taken so long to appoint a new commissioner, Mr Towler replied: "I think you'll have to talk to Welsh government about that.
"It's quite frustrating from my point of view, and of course my team is as desperate as you to know who the next commissioner will be."
Mr Towler said the short handover period "was not great".

Summarize this article briefly. | Mr Khodorkovsky has been living in exile in Europe since he was pardoned by President Vladimir Putin in 2013 after 10 years in jail for fraud.
He told the BBC he was considering applying for political asylum in Britain as one of several options.
Russia's once-richest man said the authorities had "gone mad".
Mr Khodorkovsky is accused of ordering several of his employees to kill both the mayor and a businessman, who survived.
Investigators allege Vladimir Petukhov, the mayor of Nefteyugansk, was killed on 26 June 1998 for demanding Mr Khodorkovsky's oil firm, Yukos, pay taxes that the company had been avoiding.
Local businessman Yevgeny Rybin was allegedly targeted because his activities "clashed with Yukos's interests", Russia's powerful Investigative Committee (SK) said in a statement (in Russian) as it announced his arrest in absentia.
Mr Rybin survived a gun attack in November 1998 and a second attack on his car in March 1999, when another man in the vehicle was killed and several people were injured.
Five people have already been tried for the attacks and the arrest warrant is unlikely to make any difference unless Mr Khodorkovsky returns to Russia, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford reports from Moscow.
Armed police raided the Moscow offices of Mr Khodorkovsky's Open Russia pro-democracy movement on Tuesday, in a move that authorities said was linked to allegations of tax evasion. The flats of at least seven activists who work for Mr Khodorkovsky were also searched.
Mr Khodorkovsky has always argued that the fraud charges for which he was imprisoned were politically motivated.
The exiled tycoon, who now spends much of his time in London. has repeatedly criticised President Putin in recent months. He said Tuesday's raids were acts of intimidation and the sign of an "authoritarian regime" nearing its "inevitable" end.
In further comments on Wednesday, Mr Khodorkovsky said the authorities were acting like bandits: "They've gone mad. I realised that yesterday."
After Mr Khodorkovsky was arrested in 2003, Yukos was broken up and taken over by a state oil firm. Last year an international arbitration court in The Hague said Russian officials had manipulated the legal system to bankrupt Yukos, and jail Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
The court told Russia to pay former shareholders in Yukos $50bn (£32bn) in compensation.

Summarize the passage below. | Men are often reluctant to join clubs for older people, says the study by the International Longevity Centre (ILC-UK) and the charity, Independent Age.
It predicts the number of older men living alone in England will increase by 65% by 2030.
"When their partner dies, often a man's social life shrinks," said Independent Age chief executive Janet Morrison.
The report: The Emerging Crisis for Older Men, says older women will still be more likely to outlive their husbands but, by 2030, growing numbers of men will outlive their wives.
The analysis of recent data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing suggests 1.5 million older men will be living alone by 2030 - up from 911,000 today.
Older men often also have less contact with family and friends than women of a similar age, meaning they are often more socially isolated once their spouse dies, says the study.
"The house was always full of kids," 73-year-old John, whose wife died five years ago, told researchers.
"Women keep the family together and people rally around them.
"When women die, people drift away from the man left behind."
Evidence suggests men and women experience social isolation in different ways, says the report, with men less likely to ask for support.
Widower Dick O'Brien, 77, from Reading, told BBC News he has 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren but they are "busy with their own lives" and he sometimes has no visitors for days.
He has tried going to clubs but says: "For some unknown reason I just don't fit in. It makes me feel older than I am.
"I socialise best when I am on my scooter, when I'm having a chat to anyone on the road.
"When I'm out people think, 'He's a happy old soul.'
"I am, but you are coming back to an empty house.
"It's very, very lonely. And you think why do I bother? You know it's worth bothering. Of course it's worth bothering but it's depressing. It's very depressing. It gets to you."
With loneliness and isolation linked with poor mental and physical health, the report says it is crucial to target services for older men more effectively.
Many men said they preferred services "that reflect longstanding interests and passions".
Ms Morrison wants more research into "how we involve men in designing services".
"They're more likely to want to use their skills or hobbies so they have a real sense of purpose.
"Of course, out of that, they benefit from making social connections and contacts - but they won't necessarily go along just for a cup of tea and a chat," she told BBC News.
The marketing needs to be more "blokey", one project leader told the authors.
ILC-UK chief executive Sally Greengross said it was important to accept that "many of our services simply don't work for men".
Innovative clubs and social programmes are needed to keep men socially connected after retirement, said Baroness Greengross, "as well as offering support at certain later-life events, such as widowhood".
Laura Ferguson, director of the Campaign to End Loneliness, called the findings "worrying".
"With social isolation and loneliness posing a serious risk to their health, local activities must be more tailored to suit men's interests and needs." | Increasing numbers of men are facing loneliness and isolation in old age, suggests research. |
Can you write a short summary of this section? | The strike is aimed at pressurising President Joseph Kabila to back a political deal which fell apart week.
The deal outlined the creation of a new government paving the way for a general election.
Mr Kabila was supposed to step down last year but the vote to replace him was not held.
Security forces have been deployed to protect business owners who have chosen to ignore the strike.
Mr Kabila's second and final term came to an end last November but he failed to relinquish power, with his government saying elections could not be organised on schedule because of financial and logistical difficulties.
Following deadly protests, the Catholic church brokered an agreement to create a transitional government that would oversee the elections, which under the deal were scheduled for December.
But the deal fell apart over a disagreement about the proposed power-sharing mechanism, including who would become the prime minister.
The Rassemblement, the main coalition of opposition political parties which called the strike on Monday, blames the government for the collapse of the deal.
The bishops called on the president to get involved in salvaging the process.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Currently, EU nationals who have lived in the UK for three years can apply for support for maintenance costs.
But from this autumn, new EU students in England will need five years of residency to qualify for assistance.
The government said the move was not related to the EU referendum and British relationships with the EU.
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said the department undertook a consultation on the issue last year and the move was about ensuring greater sustainability in the funding for higher education and bringing the UK into line with other EU countries.
The announcement means that EU nationals who start their courses in the academic year 2016-17 onwards will be required to demonstrate five years' residency in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
In a written statement to Parliament, Universities Minister Jo Johnson said the change would bring the UK into line with the rules applied by other EU countries, such as Germany and France , "who generally require five years' residency in the home country before students become eligible for living cost support".
He said: "The higher education student support budget is under pressure from increasing numbers of applicants from the EU, and the government is taking steps to manage the burden on the taxpayer.
"The government is therefore increasing the residency requirement that EU nationals must meet in order to be eligible for living cost support."
The increased residency requirement will not apply to UK nationals and the existing three-year residency rule will continue to apply to them.
EU students who are already studying, as well as migrant workers from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and their families, are not affected by the change.
Other changes to the student support package from this autumn mean maintenance grants for students from lower-income homes are being scrapped.
New maintenance loans will replace the grants, with full-time students eligible for a means-tested loan of up to £8,200.
The Target stores will no longer be selling a beanie hat, a hoodie and a foam can holder advertising Anzac Day.
The incident comes only days after supermarket chain Woolworths was forced to take down an Anzac Day campaign.
Some 11,500 Australian and New Zealand soldiers died in the WW1 battle that Anzac Day commemorates on 25 April.
The three products were among 50 or so items being sold by Target on behalf of Camp Gallipoli, a non-profit organisation that is aimed at educating young Australians about the legacy of Anzac Day.
The chief executive of Camp Gallipoli, Chris Fox, said that all profits from the merchandise were being donated to veterans or their families.
He said the funds would go to the Returned and Services League (RSL) which supports those who have served in the armed forces, and Legacy, an organisation which supports families of those killed or injured in the services.
But the withdrawn items were "deemed to be unsuitable and in breach of the permit" given to Camp Gallipoli to use the word "Anzac" on products, Australia's Veterans' Affairs Minister Michael Ronaldson told AFP news agency.
A spokesman for the ministry said that both Camp Gallipoli and Target - which is unrelated to the US retail company of the same name - had responded promptly to the request.
Mr Fox said he was concerned the negative publicity was detracting from the spirit of what his organisation is trying to do.
"All of Australia should be focusing on legacy and the spirit of mateship," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.

The actress was recommended by Marilyn Monroe to take on the role in the Biblical epic.
The film, which also starred Max von Sydow as Jesus and Charlton Heston as John the Baptist, was nominated for five Academy Awards.
Dunham was spotted by Monroe in New York in 1962, who had seen her performance in Franco Zeffirelli's production of Romeo and Juliet.
She taken over the lead role of Juliet from Judi Dench.
The actress went on to appear in A Day at the Beach in 1972 and Peter Duffell's 1971 horror classic The House That Dripped Blood, opposite British actors Denholm Elliott, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
Her later TV movie roles included Lady Catherine in Leslie Megahey's The Hour of the Pig in 1992, with Colin Firth and Nicol Williamson, and as Raine Spencer in Diana, A Tribute to the People's Princess, in 1998.
The actress also appeared on British TV in hit series including Van der Valk and Are You Being Served?
Later in life, Dunham turned to her love of painting and created a gallery in a converted farm building at her home in Suffolk, where she lived with her second husband, playwright and novelist Reggie Oliver.
She held exhibitions at the gallery and also also showcased her art work at the New English Art Club in London and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
Born in May 1936 in Bedfordshire, Dunham won a scholarship to study stage design and painting at the Slade School of Art in London, where her tutors included Thomas Monnington and Lucian Freud.
She went on to play witch girl Barbara Allen in a 1955 London University production of The Dark of the Moon alongside a young Tom Courtenay, which led to a scholarship to train for the stage at Rada.
She made a professional debut at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1958, as Sister Therese in World War Two play The Deserters, and her London debut in 1960 as Ellen in Gore Vidal's Visit to a Small Planet.

Police said officers responded to a call from a member of the public following an appeal for information about Vernon's whereabouts.
Vernon was previously jailed for sex offences in Lancashire. He was being sought by West Mercia Police for breaching the terms of his release.
Officers from the Environment Agency found more than 870 tonnes of electrical items, rubble and plastics at Sun Ridge Farm in Thornley.
Stuart McCarroll, who ran a skip hire business, had previously admitted breaching environmental permit rules.
The judge at Durham Crown Court jailed the 27-year-old from Thornley for eight months for the environmental offences.
He also sentenced him to a further six months for breaching a suspended sentence for a separate offence, and ordered him to pay £13,123 in costs.
McCarroll had previously pleaded guilty to four charges relating to running a waste operation otherwise than in accordance with an environmental permit, and one of incinerating waste.
The charges date from July 2014 to October 2015.
The court was told that McCarroll used the farm as a "free tipping ground."
Environment Agency officials who visited the site found piles of sorted wastes including plastics and wood, with smoke coming from a burnt area of ground, skips containing a variety of waste, and other wastes such as bricks, kitchen units, window frames and a sunbed.
Dave Edwardson, from the agency, said: "He had a complete disregard for the law, which is in place to protect the environment and communities, not to mention his actions undermining legitimate businesses." | A missing sex offender from England has been arrested by Scottish police after being found in Oban, Argyll and Bute.

Irish President Michael D Higgins was also there to pay his respects.
Speaking after the service, Matthews said Kelly had been "a legendary figure in Irish comedy".
Kelly, who died on Sunday, spent 60 years in theatre and on screen, most recently in Emmerdale and Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie, but is best remembered as the ill-tempered perennially-drunk priest Father Jack in the hit show.
Addressing the mourners at the Church of the Guardian Angels in Blackrock, Kelly's son Emmet said it had been "pretty cool" that Father Jack was trending on Twitter shortly after his death, ahead of Donald Trump and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Despite his well-known role though, chief celebrant Father Bill Fortune said Kelly had been a devoted churchgoer.
Pointing to the seat Kelly had taken "Sunday after Sunday", Fr Fortune said it was "probably contoured to his person".

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Documents from 1986 show she tried to avoid committing to the Cardiff Bay barrage scheme - stating it "just hasn't been worked out enough".
Welsh secretary Nicholas Edwards threatened to resign over the issue.
It was 1999 before the barrage finally opened after lengthy political battles.
Cabinet papers now made public include a written note from the now Lord Crickhowell to the Conservative leader, warning: "If agreement cannot be reached I will find myself in a position of very great difficulty."
Lord Crickhowell previously revealed the resignation threat in his memoirs, although the newly-released papers shed new light on the battle he fought with the Treasury - and the prime minister.
With Mr Edwards seeking to announce the scheme in a major speech, Mrs Thatcher said in a hand-written note to officials: "We must not be committed.
"The scheme just hasn't been worked out enough and I fear an elaborate and expensive presentation will be seen to be premature."
The £200m barrage, seen by Mr Edwards as a vital part of plans to regenerate Cardiff's docklands area, was controversial at the time and opposed by some Labour MPs, including future First Minister Rhodri Morgan.
The cabinet papers suggest the lack of fully-costed plans and secure private funding saw both the prime minister's economic affairs private secretary, David Norgrove, and Mrs Thatcher herself argue against the project.
The documents suggest opinion changed after a member of the Downing Street policy unit told the prime minister of an "impressive proposal to develop a new waterfront in Cardiff".

Summarize the information in the following document. | John Kinchen, from Portsmouth, collected the vehicles for decades before his death last year, with models dating from 1937 to the early 1970s.
The rarest model, a South African issue Dinky 139 Ford Consul Cortina, sold for £800 in Exmouth, Devon.
Auctioneer Piers Motley said the collection had been "well known amongst the Dinky world for decades".
As a child Mr Kinchen was bought a couple of pre-war dinkies as a child, which sparked his enthusiasm for the miniature vehicles, Mr Motley said.
"He went on Blue Peter to promote collecting", Mr Motley added.
The collection, which passed to Mr Kinchen's cousins on his death, was expected to raise between £140,000 and £200,000.
Toy expert Bob Leggett said collectors were "very much a grey-haired audience" who were willing to spend a lot of money "to recreate their youth".
"When we were young we didn't have as many toys as people have today and therefore they were treasured much more", he said.
He said part of the "thrill" for collectors came from chasing the more elusive models they did not have during their childhoods.
"The golden era of Dinky Toys was probably the 1950s to the 1960s and there's a lot of people who are retiring in their late 60s who are still collecting, and they have disposable income, they're the baby-boom generation", Mr Leggett said.
He said Dinky toys, which were manufactured from the 1930s to the 1970s, largely had the model vehicle market to themselves until the 1950s, and therefore had a "slightly larger collecting fraternity" today than later rival brands such as Corgi Toys. | A Dinky toy collection of about 3,500 cars has fetched £150,000 at an auction of "international significance". |
Give a brief summary of the content. | In its latest African Economic Outlook, the fund forecasts growth in the region of 3.75% this year, the slowest growth in six years.
Next year, the report forecasts growth of 4.25%.
Low oil and commodity prices, together with a slowdown in the Chinese economy, are the main reasons for the overall downturn, the IMF says.
China is the region's largest trading partner and many African countries have benefited hugely from exporting raw materials to the country.
"The strong momentum evident in the region in recent years has dissipated," says the report, titled Dealing with the Gathering Clouds.
"With the possibility that the external environment might turn even less favourable, risks to this outlook remain on the downside."
Oil exporters such as Nigeria and Angola are being hit particularly hard by the slump in the oil price, which has fallen by more than 50% since mid-2014 to less than $50 a barrel.
Mineral exporters such as Zambia, Ghana and South Africa are also suffering from lower commodity prices, the report says.
The IMF calls on African governments to adopt policies to lessen the impact of this economic slowdown, such as allowing currency depreciation to help boost exports.
It also urges governments to address income inequalities that are particularly high in the region, as well as gender inequality.
A spokesman said the aircraft was shot down while on a reconnaissance mission in eastern Jonglei state.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the attack on the "clearly marked" helicopter.
However, South Sudan's minister of information told the BBC that the cause of the incident was not clear.
The UN has been helping those caught up in deadly clashes between rival communities in Jonglei state.
Deputy UN spokesman Eduardo del Buey said South Sudan's military had admitted it had hit the helicopter.
"Initial reports indicated the UN helicopter crashed and burned. The mission immediately launched a search and recovery mission. It has confirmed the death of all four crew members," the UN spokesman said.
"In subsequent communications between the mission and the South Sudanese armed forces, the SPLA [army] told the mission that it has shot down the helicopter in the Likuangole area in Jonglei state."
A spokesman for Mr Ban said: "The secretary-general strongly condemns the shooting down today of a clearly marked UN helicopter by the Sudan People's Liberation Army near Likuangole, in Jonglei State of South Sudan."
Mr Ban called on South Sudan's government to "immediately carry out an investigation and bring to account those responsible for this act", the spokesman said.
Earlier, South Sudan military spokesman Philip Aguer told AFP news agency that the helicopter had been hit by "friendly fire".
"The artillery unit unfortunately fired on the plane [believing] that this is an enemy plane because there was no prior information from the UN about this plane being in the area," he said.
"After 15 minutes of shooting at the plane, we heard that the UN had sent a plane," he added.
But South Sudan Minister of Information Barnaba Marial Benjamin told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme: "There is no proof it was shot down. It is being investigated.
"It was flying in an area where there is a lot of rebel activity."
The helicopter was identified both by UN and Russian sources as a Russian-built Mi 8 - a twin-turbine helicopter commonly used as a transport.

Almost 35,000 people attended the two-day event held on Glasgow Green.
A total of 219 bands including 8,000 pipers from 15 nations took park in the contest, now in its 70th year.
Inveraray and District Pipe Band, from Argyll, was re-formed in 2004 by its current leaders Stuart Liddell and Steven McWhirter. The previous pipe band in Inveraray had disbanded in the 1930s.
Field Marshall Montgomery have won the contest five times in the past six years, including four victories in a row between 2011 to 2014.
Glasgow's Lord Provost Eva Bolander, who was Chieftain of the World Pipe Band Championships 2017, said: "My heartiest congratulations to everyone who competed at the World Pipe Band Championships.
"As a former pipe band member I know exactly how much work goes into producing such magnificent performances.
"Next year will mark 70 years since the Worlds were first held in Glasgow and we are already looking forward to another fantastic occasion."
Ian Embelton, chief executive of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, said: "We have enjoyed two outstanding days of musical performances of extraordinary quality.

Please summarize the given passage. | The match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was called off after the item was discovered close to kick-off.
"We could not have assumed it was a training exercise error," said United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
"Presented with the same situation in the future, we'd take the same action."
Woodward explained the item had been signed for by the security firm "as having been recovered", adding that he is "proud of how our staff responded" to the incident.
The device was left in a toilet in the north-west quadrant of the ground.
However, it was not spotted when the ground was checked on Sunday, prior to supporters being allowed into the stadium.
Greater Manchester mayor Tony Lloyd, also the region's police and crime commissioner, has called for a full inquiry into the "fiasco".
The fixture has been rescheduled for Tuesday at 20:00 BST.
Manchester United's players were scheduled to have the day off as they prepare for Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace at Wembley.

Fourteen mock explosive devices were used in Wednesday's exercise, which was conducted by Security Search Management & Solutions Ltd (SSMS), a firm hired by Deacons Canines to test its sniffer dogs.
The one device left in the stadium was hidden behind a toilet door, which would have made it visible only from inside the cubicle.
SSMS managing director Chris Reid said he was "truly devastated" and takes "full responsibility for leaving a training item behind".
He said he had marked the item as recovered because he had a similar item, which had not been used, in his bag.
Reid, who says he has worked in security since 1985 having previously served in the armed forces, added: "I made a mistake, a devastating mistake."
A routine sweep of the ground by sniffer dogs on match day would not have detected the device as it did not include explosives.
It was actually found by a member of the public.
Following the discovery, on what should have been the final day of the Premier League season, Greater Manchester Police ordered the evacuation of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and the Stretford End, before it was subsequently announced the fixture had been abandoned.
"Once a live situation was identified, the club and police had no option but to treat the matter as a potential terror threat," said Woodward.
The Premier League has praised the way the incident was dealt with.
Greater Manchester Police, who worked closely with a bomb disposal team on Sunday, said the device was not "a viable explosive" but its appearance made it look "as real as could be".
Kate Green, Labour MP for Stretford and Urmston, says it is "particularly troubling" the device went undetected.
She added that there is "considerable concern" about the performance of the private security firm involved and wants United to reassure the public on safety issues at Old Trafford.
Green also wants United to outline how they will compensate fans for expenses, including travel and accommodation costs.
United will refund all tickets and allow ticket holders from both clubs to watch Tuesday's rearranged game for free.
United season ticket holders will also be given a credit.
It is estimated that such gestures will cost United about £3m.
Woodward stressed United and the police "would ensure that robust security measures continue to be of the highest priority" for the rearranged game.
Bournemouth are offering free coach travel for supporters with a valid match ticket.
Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn told BBC South Today: "They make sacrifices every single week and go to great expense travelling away." | The suspect device which led to the abandonment of Sunday's Premier League game at Old Trafford had been wrongly signed for by a security firm carrying out an exercise at the stadium. |

Ken Hursey was 16 when two bombs were dropped on the factory on 27 July 1942 and "bounced" into their home.
He was the only survivor in the demolished house and will be at the ceremony later to unveil the road name.
Mr Hursey's father, Ernest, was in charge of factory security in 1942 and the family lived on site.
When their home was bombed it killed Mr Hursey's parents, brother, sister-in-law and mother-in-law, but he "just had a couple of little scratches".
He recalled being dug out of the less-damaged back of the house, where he was staying because his brother's visiting family were in his usual front bedroom.
He said: "While [time has] healed, it hasn't really stopped the picture of the aircraft coming over and dropping its bombs.
"I saw the bomb bays were open and two bombs dropped out... It will always remain very prominent in my mind."

Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, North Wales Police have decided not to bring any charges in the case.
The report's author, health specialist Donna Ockenden, found the concerns raised proven and said they amount to "institutional abuse".
She said there was a lack of action by the senior leadership team on previous reports highlighting specific concerns with the service provided by the health board's Clinical Programme Group (CPG) responsible for mental health services.
There was also a lack of systematic review and little evidence of timely actions put in place by the team.
Ms Ockenden said it was also likely there was "significant under-reporting of serious incidents within the clinical areas led by the CPG".
The health board confirmed eight members of nursing staff have been suspended on full pay.
A "significant" number have also been transferred to other roles while others, including managers, have been "stood down".
The independent report was commissioned by the health board, who decided not to publish it until police completed their investigation.
In the report, families described seeing patients "constantly crawling on dirty floors" and being "like a zombie...drugged up".
A family told the report's author they found a relative in bed "in a pool of stale urine and it's so stale it was brown".
When they raised this issue, they were told: "Psychiatric nurses aren't very good at looking after physically ill people."
Chief executive, Prof Trevor Purt, called the ward "the worst case" he has seen in his role.
He said: "On behalf of the health board, I am extremely sorry that we let our vulnerable patients and their families down so badly.
"The treatment of some patients on the ward described in the report was shocking, inexcusable and unacceptable and we acknowledge the immense distress that the families are feeling."
Angela Hopkins, director of nursing and midwifery, said: "It's a shameful day that we are here again reporting something that is about the most vulnerable in our society."
The Welsh Conservatives said patients were "treated like animals" and have called for managers and senior leaders to be immediately dismissed.
Shadow health minister Darren Millar AM said: "Anyone who's responsible for such poor levels of care shouldn't ever be allowed to look after patients again, and the senior leaders, the managers in this organisation that allowed this to happen... should face the sack."
The Welsh government, which welcomed the health board's apology, said it has since carried out unannounced mental health spot checks across Wales.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | A transcript, published by Wikileaks, shows the officials discussing ways of putting pressure on Greece, Germany and the EU to get them to wrap up talks.
One of those quoted suggests a crisis "event" may be needed to force a conclusion.
Further negotiations between Athens and its lenders are due next week.
Last year Greece agreed a multi-billion dollar bailout with the EU and IMF that was needed for the country to avoid bankruptcy and stay in the eurozone.
Greek debt: What's the deal?
Debt jargon explained
The conversation on 19 March purportedly involves Poul Thomsen, head of the IMF's Europe department, and Delia Velculescu, leader of the IMF team in Greece, the senior officials in charge of Greece's debt crisis.
Mr Thomsen is quoted as complaining about the pace of talks on reforms Greece has agreed to carry out in exchange for the bailout.
"What is going to bring it all to a decision point?" he asks.
"In the past there has been only one time when the decision has been made and then that was when they were about to run out of money seriously and to default."
Ms Velculescu later agrees "we need an event, but I don't know what that will be".
Mr Thomsen also appears to suggest the IMF could pull out of the bailout to force German Chancellor Angela Merkel to agree to debt relief.
Such a move could be politically difficult for Mrs Merkel, the key figure in the crisis.
"Look..., Mrs Merkel, you face a question, you have to think about what is more costly: to go ahead without the IMF, would the Bundestag say 'the IMF is not on board?' or to pick the debt relief that we think that Greece needs in order to keep us on board? Right?" Mr Thomsen says.
He adds that, if Greece were to default, talks could be further delayed by Britain's referendum on EU membership.
The IMF would not comment on the purported leaks but said its public position on the matter was clear.
Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said: "As WikiLeaks revealed today, the IMF is planning to stall until July to bring Greece to its knees [again!] in order to force Angela Merkel's hand.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Maersk Oil is planning to drill a total of six production wells at the high pressure/high temperature (HPHT) Culzean field.
The first gas is expected to be produced from Culzean in 2019.
The development, which lies about 145 miles east of Aberdeen, is one of the largest gas fields discovered in the North Sea in more than a decade.
The Maersk Highlander rig is drilling the first production well.
The drilling campaign will be supported by more than 30 UK-based well services companies.
Gretchen Watkins, from Maersk Oil, said: "This is an important milestone in ensuring that we can deliver Culzean on schedule, and with it 5% of UK gas demand in 2020-21.
Maersk has prepared the drilling programme on a digital "virtual well", using a specialised simulator at Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University.
Culzean's wells delivery manager, Andrew Lough, said: "Working on a virtual rig, designed to look and feel like the Maersk Highlander, has been invaluable.
"It has enabled us to prepare, in a very life-like environment, for the drilling campaign, which will contribute to a safe and efficient drilling operation that will be an important milestone in developing the largest new field discovered in the UK North Sea for more than a decade."
In May, BP announced it had doubled its stake in Culzean as part of a £7bn investment programme.
The company said it had raised its interest in the Maersk Oil-operated Culzean development from 16% to 32%.
It did not disclose how much it paid co-venturer JX Nippon for the additional stake.

Since opening last year the show has been celebrated for casting African-American, Asian and Latino actors.
However, the Actors' Equity Association said the language of the notice did not comply with their rules.
Hamilton's producers say they regret the confusion, and have since amended their wording.
The musical, which has been watched by the likes of US President Barack Obama, Sir Paul McCartney and Dame Helen Mirren, tells the story of America's birth, featuring the characters of Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.
Created and written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, it stresses the orphan, immigrant roots of one of America's founding fathers Alexander Hamilton.
The controversial casting notice was posted on the musical's website and on the trade site backstage.com.
Its producers said in a statement: "It is essential to the storytelling of Hamilton that the principal roles - which were written for non-white characters (excepting King George) - be performed by non-white actors.
"This adheres to the accepted practice that certain characteristics in certain roles constitute a 'bona fide occupational qualification' that is legal.
"This also follows in the tradition of many shows that call for race, ethnicity or age specific casting, whether it's The Colour Purple or Porgy & Bess or Matilda. The casting will be amended to also include language we neglected to add, that is, we welcome people of all ethnicities to audition for Hamilton."

Give a brief summary of the content. | The eight-year-old, trained in Berwickshire, Scotland by Sandy Thomson, faces his biggest test to date when lining up in Haydock's Betfair Chase.
The list of opponents in yet another high-quality staging of the Grade One race is due to include dual winners Cue Card and Silviniaco Conti and the 2015 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Coneygree as he returns from a year off because of injury.
Seeyouatmidnight, on whom Hughes will wear the black, yellow and white silks of the trainer's wife Quona, is the winner of seven races, most recently when putting in a striking display at Carlisle in October.
All that said, it's probably fair to say that the horse, who was also third in Scotland's Grand National in April, has not yet registered with the wider racing public.
And despite demonstrating his good form so recently, and having snow-softened ground conditions in his favour, he's received only limited coverage in the build-up to Haydock, the first leg - before Kempton's King George VI Chase at Christmas and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March - in the Jockey Club's £1m 'Steeplechasing Triple Crown'.
Hughes, himself just about the most in-form rider in the country after a string of wins including a rare five-timer, plus two seconds, from seven mounts at Musselburgh in Betfair Chase week, told BBC Sport:
"I just feel that the horse never got the credit he deserved [after Carlisle]. If he was ridden by a top jockey - your Ruby Walshes or your Richard Johnsons or Barry Geraghty - and trained by a big Southern trainer, he might have been more in the press.
"At the end of the day I think the world of this horse - Sandy and his wife worship him - and it's great for us and our careers to be part of him.
"I think the horse deserves his chance to be there but obviously we respect the opposition because of them winning Grade Ones, and we haven't. On ratings, we have to find a bit, but it's only his second season [chasing] and hopefully he can improve.
"We're coming here off the back of a good run and hoping that he can mix it with these good horses."
Hughes, 31, by quite some way leading jockey on the Northern circuit from the currently side-lined Henry Brooke, is seen as the 'professional's professional', a jockey who's enjoyed considerable success but who's renowned for keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
All of which made his jubilant reaction to Seeyouatmidnight disposing of his sole rival at Carlisle, the talented Bristol De Mai, the more eye-catching.
The horse felt, he enthused, like "driving a Ferrari" and having "never touched a twig [of the obstacles]" he believed that he'd "never come up the hill as fast as that. Ever."
Reflecting on those quotes, Hughes, who's looking for his first victory at Grade One level, said:
"Looking back, I probably got a bit over-excited, but the way he was just lobbing his way round impressed me, and then when I asked from the third-last he surprised me; Carlisle is a steep hill and he powered up it.
"I've not had that many nice horses to ride but he feels like a very nice horse, and I hope that he can show the public how good we believe he is."
Victory at this level for the horse that's become something of a standard-bearer in his region would come at an opportune time.
No one doubts the ability of national hunt trainers based north of the Trent, but the fact remains it's short on major investors, and most of the racehorse owners with the biggest cheque books tend to look to stables in the south.
Apart from Seeyouatmidnight, one can see few others taking on the power of the south at the springtime festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree: probably only the Malcolm Jefferson-trained Cloudy Dream - another Hughes mount - Simply Ned and Eduard, both part of the Nicky Richards team, and possibly Grand National hope Highland Lodge.
It's all rather ironic because the word regularly used about flat racing in the north of England and Scotland is "flourishing"; all too often similar chat about jumping includes early mention of the description "beleaguered".
Work to try to improve things is underway, and the latest initiative, specially designed to provide an incentive to owners, is the 'Northern Lights Series', various series of races staged at courses north of Doncaster with a finals day at Carlisle in December 2017.
A big win in the meantime for a Scottish horse like Seeyouatmidnight would add priceless extra publicity.
+ Coverage of the Betfair Chase, Haydock on BBC 5 Live on Sat 19 Nov at 15:00 GMT | Jockey Brian Hughes believes the reputation of Seeyouatmidnight, the brightest hope on jump racing's Northern and Scottish circuit, is a victim of the sport's ever-growing north/south divide. |
Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Blood cells tend to degrade quickly, and earlier scans for blood within Oetzi's body turned up nothing.
Now a
study in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface
shows that Oetzi's remarkable preservation extends even to the blood he shed shortly before dying.
The find represents by far the oldest red blood cells ever observed.
It is just the latest chapter in what could be described as the world's oldest murder mystery.
Since Oetzi was first found by hikers with an arrow buried in his back, experts have determined that he died from his wounds and what his last meal was.
There has been extensive debate as to whether he fell where he died or was buried there by others.
In February, Albert Zink and colleagues at the Eurac Institute for Mummies and the Iceman in Bolzano, Italy
.
An earlier study by the group,
published in the Lancet
, showed that a wound on Oetzi's hand contained haemoglobin, a protein found in blood - but it had long been presumed that red blood cells' delicate nature would have precluded their preservation.
Prof Zink and his colleagues collaborated with researchers at the Center for Smart Interfaces at the University of Darmstadt in Germany to apply what is known as atomic force microscopy to thin slices of tissue taken from an area surrounding the arrow wound.
The technique works using a tiny metal tip with a point just a few atoms across, dragged along the surface of a sample. The tip's movement is tracked, and results in a 3-D map at extraordinary resolution.
The team found that the sample from Oetzi contained structures with a tell-tale "doughnut" shape, just as red blood cells have.
To ensure the structures were preserved cells and not contamination of some kind, they confirmed the find using a laser-based technique called Raman spectroscopy - those results also indicated the presence of haemoglobin and the clot-associated protein fibrin.
That, Prof Zink explained, seems to solve one of the elements of the murder mystery.
"Because fibrin is present in fresh wounds and then degrades, the theory that Oetzi died some days after he had been injured by the arrow, as had once been mooted, can no longer be upheld," he said.
The team also suggest that their methods may prove to be of use in modern-day forensics studies, in which the exact age of blood samples is difficult to determine. | Researchers studying Oetzi, a 5,300-year-old body found frozen in the Italian Alps in 1991, have found red blood cells around his wounds. |
Can you provide a summary of this content? | With data from just the first nine months, scientists are 90% certain that 2016 will pass the mark set by 2015.
Temperatures from January to September were 1.2C above pre-industrial levels, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The body says temperatures should remain high enough for the rest of the year to break the previous record.
El Nino has had an impact, but the most significant factor driving temperatures up continues to be CO2 emissions.
What is climate change?
The provisional statement on the status of the global climate in 2016 has been released early this year to help inform negotiators meeting in Morocco, who are trying to push forward with the Paris Climate Agreement.
The document says the year to September was 0.88 above the average for the period between 1961-90, which the WMO uses at its baseline.
The whole of 2015, which broke the previous record by a significant amount, was 0.77 above the 1961-90 average.
While there are still a couple of months to go this year, a preliminary analysis of the October data indicates that 2016 is very much on track to surpass the 2015 level, which in turn broke the previous high mark set in 2014.
"Another year. Another record. The high temperatures we saw in 2015 are set to be beaten in 2016," said WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas.
"In parts of Arctic Russia, temperatures were 6C to 7C above the long-term average. Many other Arctic and sub-Arctic regions in Russia, Alaska and north-west Canada were at least 3C above average. We are used to measuring temperature records in fractions of a degree, and so this is different," said Mr Taalas.
The report highlights the fact that other long-term climate change indicators are also breaking records. The amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere continued on its upward march in 2016.
Arctic sea ice continued to melt in significant amounts, while the Greenland ice sheet displayed very early melting this year.
Experts believe that the El Nino weather phenomenon played a role in the record warm temperatures seen in 2015 and 2016.
They quantify it as roughly 0.2 of a degree - but the bulk of the warming is coming from the accumulation of greenhouse gases. And the impacts of that warming are being widely felt.
"Because of climate change, the occurrence and impact of extreme events has risen," said Petteri Taalas.
"'Once in a generation' heatwaves and flooding are becoming more regular. Sea level rise has increased exposure to storm surges associated with tropical cyclones," he said.
The surprise election of Donald Trump as president of the US has increased expectations that he will bring a more sceptical view of climate change to the White House.
Scientists are stressing that the evidence for the reality of climate change is getting stronger all the time.
"We are seeing the impacts of climate change on extreme weather," said Dr Peter Stott, who leads the climate attribution team at the UK Met Office.
"One degree may sound a relatively small number but in the context of such a stable climate that we've had over the past millennia, and the rapidity of that warming, we are seeing this real world evidence that doesn't come from a model or a projection."
According to the WMO analysis, 16 of the 17 warmest years have been recorded this century. The only exception was 1998.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | It seems glib even to ask that question in just one sentence, yet that is what MPs and many of the public will be asking, after the prime minister announced his intention to call a vote on extending air strikes to Syria on Wednesday.
By the prime minister's calculation, the answer must be, we may well be. Defence sources say that the RAF could move extremely fast following parliamentary approval. And the less straightforward assessment of whether the government will get the numbers in the vote, has clearly been answered within government with a confident yes.
David Cameron was always adamant that he would only take the question to the House of Commons if he could be absolutely sure of getting a majority.
A fair number of MPs are yet to decide, so numbers could fluctuate in the coming days. But a totting up of the likely sums suggests that ministers are secure of getting what they want.
Informed guesses in Westminster suggest around 380 MPs might be ready to vote for action, with only around 260 or so opposing - a comfortable majority by any stretch.
But the PM has bigger, long-term questions to ask about the bombing campaign if he gets his way. Will it make any difference? Are there really troops on the ground we can trust? What's the exit strategy? Intervention in Libya gave him short term success, but a long-term headache.
But what happens in Syria has already shaped the Labour party's fortunes.
Jeremy Corbyn says that he wants to be the next prime minister. But under his leadership Labour has been unable to make up its collective mind on whether RAF jets should start dropping bombs from Syrian, as well as Iraqi skies - military action, the most serious of decisions politicians can make.
Yet this politician so endeared himself to Labour members because of his opposition to Iraq, and other military interventions.
With many of them on his side, but many MPs supporting action, a clash was inevitable.
Managing that dilemma has been damaging itself. Just yesterday, the Labour leader was still publicly insisting that he hoped to find a collective position, and that he, as leader, would make the decision.
But he didn't have enough authority today to persuade his senior colleagues to come onside.
By compromising on a compromise, Mr Corbyn has stepped back from a major bust up with his shadow cabinet. But again on Monday evening, he was lambasted by MPs at their parliamentary meeting, not on his principle, but how his political operation has in the last few days tried to persuade MPs to agree with him.
The position the party is now in, having avoided resignations and a terminal bust up, maybe preferable, but it's the most painful lesson as leader that this politician of principle has had to learn about pragmatism.
In just three short months in the job, there have already been plenty of others.
The attack happened in West Pilton Place at about 18:55 on Sunday while the taxi was stationary.
One of the gang jumped onto the taxi's bonnet and smashed the windscreen.
A three-figure sum of cash was stolen from the taxi. The attackers were male and female aged between 14 and 20.
The man who jumped on the taxi is white, tall, of slim build and was wearing a red top.
The same youths had earlier stepped out in front of his taxi at the junction with Crewe Road Gardens and West Pilton Place, forcing him to stop and stealing an item from his boot.
Barbara Beaufoy, secretary of Tenants and Residents in Muirhouse (TRIM) and Friends of West Pilton (FOWP), said: "Trim and Friends of West Pilton were appalled to hear of the assault and robbery of a taxi driver.
"We believe that everyone, going about their normal daily lives, has the right to do so in safety and not fall victim to anti-social or criminal behaviour."
Det Con Euan Hair, of Police Scotland, said: "We are treating this assault and robbery as racially-motivated and are determined to track down these suspects as quickly as possible.
"This man was simply going about his legitimate business and he has a right to do so without being assaulted.
"There is no place for racism in our communities and we will use all resources available to deal with those responsible swiftly." | Will we be bombing Syria by the end of the week?

The Portuguese, 46, has been in charge of the Ibrox team for seven matches - the last two of which have been defeats by city rivals Celtic.
Rangers are third in the Premiership following promotion last year but are 36 points adrift of champions Celtic.
"I want players with character - I need players with that in my squad," Caixinha said on Rangers' Twitter feed.
"The player plan I presented is realistic regarding to the situation. Let me tell you that is not a small amount.
"I prefer to have a smaller squad - say three goalkeepers and 22/23 outfield players.
"We know we have a massive job on our hands to rebuild the squad to the needs that we have identified."
Saturday's 5-1 home loss to Premiership winners Celtic dented Rangers' hopes of beating Aberdeen to the runners-up spot, despite the Dons losing to St Johnstone later that day. Nine points separate second-placed Aberdeen from Rangers with four games to go.
Rangers also lost to Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final and will seek to get back to winning ways away to Partick Thistle on Sunday.
Defender Clint Hill, 38, is among the Rangers players out of contract this summer and he said during the club's Friday media conference: "I hope next week I'll know my future.
"I've made it clear if a contract offer is made, I'd be delighted to sign it.
"It's not been a good season as a team, but personally I have loved my time here. I probably thought I'd be third or fourth choice defender."
Hill, who has made 30 appearances this season, joined the club during the same summer transfer window as Jordan Rossiter but the midfielder has played only six times this term due to injury.
And Caixinha said: "Jordan Rossiter we hope can be with us for the start of pre-season."
The Bulldogs won 89-67 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to break the Australian Football League's longest Premiership title drought of 62 years.
"It's just an amazing performance from our boys," said Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge.
"Some of those efforts in the last quarter were just sensational."
The Bulldogs were appearing in only their third Grand Final, and first since 1961, and they became the first team to reach the championship showdown having finished seventh in the regular season.
The club from Melbourne's western suburbs went into receivership in 1989 and was only kept afloat through the fundraising of supporters.
Sydney were bidding for their sixth title and second in five years but were outplayed in the final quarter.
Two goals from Liam Picken, whose father lost in four Grand Finals, and a long-range effort from Tom Boyd settled the contest in front of 99,989 spectators.
Bulldogs captain Bob Murphy, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in April, was an emotional figure on the sidelines, and Beveridge gave his winner's medal to Murphy at the trophy presentation.
The match had begun without incident despite indigenous rights campaigners calling for Australians to follow the lead of NFL players and boycott the national anthem.
William Burns, 56, and Alexander Porter, 48, deny assaulting Scottish Sun investigations editor Russell Findlay at his home in Glasgow.
They also deny attempting to murder Ross Sherlock by shooting at him near St Helen's Primary in Bishopbriggs.
The trial was deserted temporarily because of "insurmountable difficulties."
Judge Sean Murphy QC told the jury at the High Court in Glasgow: "The difficulties have not been resolved and I have been asked to put off the trial until they are resolved.
"This type of difficulty does arise and we can't proceed at present."

What is the summary of the given information? | Philip Hammond said £2.3bn would be spent on infrastructure - such as roads - related to housing developments.
The chancellor said the money would support the building of up to 100,000 new homes, and amounted to a "step-change" in help for the industry.
The government has also agreed to spend an extra £1.4bn on affordable housing in England.
Local authorities will be able to bid for the money under one of three existing schemes : Affordable Rent, Shared Ownership or Rent to Buy.
The Treasury estimates that could lead to 40,000 more affordable homes being built.
The money will top up the existing £4.7bn being spent on grants for affordable housing over the next five years.

The National Housing Federation (NHF), which represents Housing Associations, said it was delighted with the announcement.
"Increased flexibility and extra investment will give housing associations the freedom and confidence to build even more affordable homes, more quickly, across the country," said David Orr, chief executive of the NHF.
Earlier this month, official figures indicated that the number of affordable homes being built in England had sunk to its lowest level in 24 years.
In the year to March 2016, just 32,110 affordable homes were completed, a 52% fall on the previous year.
However, recent figures suggest that the overall housing supply increased by 11% in the year to April 2016.
The chancellor also announced a "large-scale" pilot of the right to buy scheme for housing association tenants.
He said it would involve 3,000 tenants being allowed to buy the homes they currently rent.
A white paper on house-building will follow "in due course".

The Alan Clarke award, named in honour of the late TV director, was last presented in 2015 to screenwriter Jeff Pope.
Actor and comedian Sir Lenny will receive his award on 8 May for his outstanding contribution to TV.
Krishnendu Majumdar, chairman of Bafta's Television Committee, said there was "no-one more deserving".
"This is fantastic," Sir Lenny said.
"I am truly humbled and truly hopeful that this award is a pan-industry acknowledgement that diversity must be at the heart of our industry if we are to reflect British society now and, most importantly, in the future."
Known predominantly for being a comedian, Sir Lenny first appeared on the ITV talent show New Faces in 1975 and then became a household name in the popular Saturday morning children's show Tiswas.
He went on to star alongside Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield in the hit sketch show Three of the Kind before earning his own Bafta-nominated series The Lenny Henry Show.
Mr Majumdar said that Sir Lenny's appeal "spans all generations and genres".
He also applauded him for his efforts to ignite debate and spur change with regard to the lack of diversity in the TV and wider acting industry, most notably when making the issue the subject of a Bafta lecture in 2014.
Sir Lenny's 40-year TV career also includes the BBC comedy drama Bernard & The Genie in 1991, White Goods on ITV in 1994 and the drama series Chef! on BBC One in the mid-1990s.
He also starred in BBC One dramas Hope and Glory (1999-2000) and The Syndicate (2015) and his comedy series Lenny Henry in Pieces won the Golden Rose at the Montreux Television Festival. He has also made several documentaries about diversity.
He was also one of the founding members of the charity, Comic Relief, along with Richard Curtis.
In February 2009 Sir Lenny made a splash in the theatre winning huge praise and a best newcomer award for his stage debut as the star of Shakespeare's Othello at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds.
He returned to Shakespeare in The Comedy of Errors at the National Theatre in 2011.
The Lenny Henry show won two Bafta nominations in light entertainment performance and light entertainment programme categories in 1985 and 1989.
His other awards include a lifetime achievement honour at the British Comedy Awards, a best actor Critics Circle Theatre award and a Royal Television Society Fellowship in March.

The Argentine, second only to president Sepp Blatter in the Fifa hierarchy, was taken to hospital in Buenos Aires on Wednesday with cardiac failure and later died, the governing body said.
Grondona had been head of the Argentine FA (AFA) since 1979 and a member of Fifa's executive committee since 1988.
Writing on Twitter, Blatter said he was "sad for the loss of a great friend".
The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) confirmed Grondona's death in a statement, adding that he would be remembered for "giving his country recognition in football".
The AFA responded to the news by announcing the postponement of all matches in Argentina's domestic leagues this weekend as a mark of respect.
The governing body also announced a halt to all administrative functions until Monday, meaning a press conference at which Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella was due to confirm his future has been postponed.

During Grondona's time as head of the AFA, Argentina won the World Cup in 1986 and lost the final in both 1990 and 2014.
He had been due to step down from his AFA role when his current term came to an end in 2015.
Argentina forward Lionel Messi was among those to send condolences after the announcement.

"We more than matched them. I thought we were great.
"That shows how far we've come as a club, the fact we're talking about Everton with all their history and the power they have in this league.
"For us to feel we're on par and just as good as them... shows how far we've come as a team."
Swansea had suffered their first defeat of the season in their previous outing which was a 1-0 loss at Watford.

The Conservatives' Chris Davies gained the Brecon and Radnorshire seat from the Liberal Democrats.
He took 16,453 votes against Roger Williams from the Liberal Democrats who received 11,351.
Jo Stevens gained Cardiff Central for Labour from the Liberal Democrats' Jenny Willott.
The Tories held Cardiff North but the party has a new MP in Craig Williams as Jonathan Evans stepped down.

The Conservatives have won the constituency of Gower - a seat Labour has held for more than 100 years.
Following two recounts, AM Byron Davies gained the seat with 15,862 votes - a majority of just 27.
Labour held the ward with Gerald Jones who has taken over from Dai Havard who was elected in 2001.

Please summarize the following text. | The transfer took place on Sunday.
Rights groups had raised concerns that some 200 Sri Lankans may have been handed over, including Tamils who say they face persecution at home.
The government has not commented on other possible cases, but says everyone was subject to "enhanced screening" to ensure compliance with Australia's international obligations.
This is the first time the government has confirmed it has intercepted people at sea, screened them and returned them to their country of origin.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison acknowledged on Monday that a boat-load of 41 people had been handed back to Sri Lanka, while not commenting on the fate of a second boat reportedly carrying about 150 people.
He said they were transferred at sea just outside the Sri Lankan port of Batticaloa on Sunday. "All persons intercepted and returned were subjected to an enhanced screening process," he said.
The government says only four of those returned on Sunday were Tamils.
Mr Morrison added that only one person may have had a case for asylum but he opted to return voluntarily with the rest of the passengers.
Sri Lankan officials said the group would be taken to the port of Galle and handed over to police to be investigated.
Last week the UN refugee agency UNHCR had expressed "profound concern" about the reported situation.
"Requests for international protection should be considered within the territory of the intercepting state, consistent with fundamental refugee protection principles," it said.
"International law prescribes that no individual can be returned involuntarily to a country in which he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution."
Richard Marles, Australia's shadow minister for immigration, questioned the operation.
"Australia's international obligations are reliant upon a credible processing system and we have deep concerns about how that could have been performed by video link at sea in a way which gave an individual assessment, when all the time the boat was steaming towards Sri Lanka," he said.
Sri Lanka has been under heavy international pressure over alleged human rights violations during the final phase of the war against Tamil separatists which ended in 2009.
Rights groups say Tamils still face violence at the hands of the military.
The fate of those on a second boat reportedly detained remains unclear. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young urged the government to "start being up front with what's happening to them and what their fate will be".
The Australian government has been criticised for imposing what campaigners call a culture of secrecy around asylum, by refusing to comment on operations.
Australia has been taking a tough approach to asylum seekers who try to reach the country by perilous sea journeys.
Under current policy, asylum seekers who arrive by boat are sent to detention camps in Papua New Guinea (PNG) or Nauru. If found to be refugees, they will be resettled there, not in Australia.
Australia says its asylum policy - which is also widely believed to involve towing boats back to Indonesian waters - is aimed at saving lives.
It is also facing tough questions over its offshore processing policy. The UN and rights groups have condemned conditions in its camps in PNG and Nauru.
Investigations are continuing into the death of one asylum seeker in violence at the PNG camp. He is believed to have been beaten to death by a 10-person mob comprising camp guards and PNG locals. | Australia has confirmed it has returned 41 asylum seekers to the Sri Lankan authorities at sea. |

Media playback is not supported on this device
It was an up-and-down display for the Scots as they opened impressively, laboured after Effiong's equaliser then capitalised on Malta being reduced to 10 men.
The turning point was the penalty, when there looked to be little if any contact as Caruana chased Martin into the six-yard box while the Scotland striker was stretching to reach an Andrew Robertson cross.
Scotland took control as Malta lost their discipline in the closing stages and Gordon Strachan's side go top of Group F ahead of England, who won 1-0 in Slovakia, on goal difference after the opening set of fixtures.
Though the scoreline was ultimately emphatic, Scotland had to be patient before their superiority began to tell.
They began the match strongly, but the swift equaliser unsettled the Scots and the remainder of the first half was unimpressive.
Confidence was restored once Martin went some way to justifying his starting place by scoring the crucial second goal.
Thereafter, the result was never in doubt, particularly after the Maltese were reduced to 10 men with the seemingly harsh dismissal of Caruana.
Martin's inclusion as the main striker surprised most observers and his first-half showing did little to justify his manager's faith.
But he made the vital intervention that kick-started the Scotland performance, as well as winning the penalty for the third.
Barry Bannan looked tidy alongside Darren Fletcher in the middle of the park, while Callum Paterson provided his trademark energetic running on the right flank, dangerous crosses and an additional aerial threat at set-pieces.
Despite the big win, this was not a wholly convincing display by Scotland. Nevertheless, the victory is a vital one and, for a short time at least, takes them to the top of the group.
Oliver Burke had been in the headlines all week following his £13m transfer to RB Leipzig and was handed his first start and competitive debut for the national team.
He began the match almost as a support striker, just behind Martin, and the early signs were promising as he burst into the penalty area to win a corner.
But, although he showed great willingness to make things happen, he couldn't impose himself on the game, even when he was shifted to a more familiar right-wing beat in the second half.
He was eventually replaced with James Forrest, but there will surely be plenty more opportunities for the 19-year-old to make an impact at international level.
Scotland's next match is a home meeting with Lithuania on 8 October, followed by a trip to Slovakia three days later.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | The payment, which South Africa denies was a bribe to secure the 2010 World Cup, is central to the Fifa scandal.
The claim comes after a letter emerged that appears to show officials seeking an indirect route for the transfer.
South Africa's government said the letter did not contradict its statement that this was a legitimate payment.
It says the cash was to fund the development of football for the African diaspora in the Caribbean and that the reporting of the letter in South Africa's Mail & Guardian was "regurgitation and sensation".
The letter was written by then South Africa FA head Danny Jordaan three weeks before the first amount was paid in 2007.
US prosecutors say the money, which is a key plank in the wide-ranging criminal inquiry that has engulfed world football's governing body, was a bribe to Fifa officials.
Seven top Fifa officials, including two vice-presidents, were arrested last week in Switzerland as they awaited Fifa's congress.
They were among 14 new indictments in the US investigation, which alleges they accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m over a 24-year period.
Four other people were charged earlier. One of them, ex-Fifa official Chuck Blazer, has pleaded guilty in the US to taking bribes related to South Africa's bid.
Sports Minister Fikile Mbulula confirmation's that it was former President Thabo Mbeki who made the decision to donate $10m is not proof of a bribe.
The South African government maintains it was a legitimate payment. But together with the leaked letter from Danny Jordaan, it does show the lengths the government appeared to go to not to be associated with the transfer of funds and that the top man in South Africa sanctioned the payment.
All this begs the question: If it was an above-board donation to boost Caribbean football, why the accounting gymnastics?
Mr Mbeki has said in a statement that he was "not aware of anybody who solicited a bribe" in return for South Africa being awarded the right to host the 2010 World Cup.
Mr Jordaan's letter, dated three weeks before the first tranche of the $10m payment was made, sets out how the transfer was to be made - based on a promise - and honoured three years after South Africa won the right to host the tournament.
The US indictment revealed a conundrum faced by the South African government; that it was unable to arrange payment directly from government funds.
On Friday, Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula told the Beeld newspaper that Mr Mbeki had authorised the payment after he "spoke with the leadership of the 2010 World Cup local organising committee".
"[It was] the government's idea," he added.
In a statement released last week when the scandal began, Mr Mbeki said: "I wish to state that the government that I had the privilege to lead would never have paid any bribe even if it were solicited."

Why should I care about Fifa corruption scandal?
What will it take to fix Fifa?
The leaked letter, which also emerged on Friday, is signed by Mr Jordaan and addressed to Fifa secretary-general Jerome Valcke.
In the letter, Mr Jordaan says the deputy finance minister recommended the money be paid to Fifa but that Minister of Foreign Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said it should instead "be paid over to the 2010 Fifa World Cup Organising Committee South Africa".
Ms Dlamini-Zuma, who is President Jacob Zuma's ex-wife, is now chair of the African Union Commission.
The Mail & Guardian quoted former Deputy Finance Minister Jabu Moleketi as saying the letter was a "fabrication" and that he denied having "a conversation of that nature" with Mr Jordaan.
South Africa's sports ministry said in a statement on Friday that the letter merely affirmed that the payment was legitimate and proved that "the diaspora programme was pursued to support government policy".
Mr Valcke has previously denied any wrongdoing in the matter.
US prosecutors say a senior South African official travelled to Paris to hand over cash in $10,000 stacks in a hotel room to an unnamed person working for Jack Warner, the former Fifa vice-president and head of Concacaf.
On Wednesday they released a transcript of Mr Blazer's guilty pleas, in which he said: "Beginning in or around 2004 and continuing through 2011, I and others on the Fifa executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup."
In addition to the US investigation it was announced on Thursday that an elite police unit in South Africa is to launch a preliminary inquiry into allegations that officials paid bribes over the 2010 World Cup bid. | South Africa's sports minister says the decision to donate $10m (£6.5m) to Fifa to develop Caribbean football was approved by then President Thabo Mbeki. |

"UK Mail is well-run and an established provider of quality delivery services in the UK. It offers a complementary fit with our integrated offering," said Deutsche board member Jurgen Gerdes.
UK Mail directors said it believed the deal was "fair and reasonable".
Under the terms of the deal, UK Mail shareholders will receive 440p a share.
UK Mail suffered technical problems last year at a new sorting centre which left it having to handle bulky parcels manually.

For Carmarthen Athletic RFC has a pair of the boxer's boots in its sports memorabilia collection which belonged to former club stalwart Gwynne King Morgan.
Ali died last Friday in Arizona at the age of 74.
His funeral service takes place in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday.
His boots were presented to Mr Morgan in 1977 by the late Gerald Williams, the former BBC sports commentator who lived in Llangynog near Carmarthen.
He acquired them after interviewing Ali and his manager Angelo Dundee.
Club chairman Wynne Jones said: "Who would say that a little west Wales town has these magnificent reminders of a magnificent career?
"He was indeed the greatest."
The club also has a pair of boots belonging to Sir Henry Cooper who fought Ali.
Mr Jones said the the value of Ali's boots was not known and "not important".
"The whole ethos of the collection to us is that if somebody is kind enough to donate to us we respect the fact and they are perpetually on display."
Anthony O'Sullivan and two other council officers were investigated by police after a report by Mr Barrett claimed a process that saw them receive pay rises of up to 20% was "unlawful".
Misconduct charges were dropped last year after a judge dismissed the case.
The Wales Audit Office has said it treats all complaints confidentially.
It added that any complaint would be investigated internally.
BBC Wales has learned that as part of the complaint, Mr O'Sullivan has written to the chief auditor general for Wales, Huw Vaughan Thomas, questioning Mr Barrett's qualifications for the role, in particular his qualification to find something "unlawful".
The Wales Audit Office (WAO) is the public spending watchdog and Mr Barrett is responsible for auditing local government bodies.
A biography on the WAO website says Mr Barrett is a chartered public finance accountant and a certified fraud examiner who has held several positions as an auditor in the public and private sector.
Mr O'Sullivan, his deputy Nigel Barnett and the head of legal services Daniel Perkins have been suspended from their positions since 2013.
They were charged with misconduct in public office, but a judge dismissed the case at Bristol Crown Court in October.
In his ruling on the application to dismiss, judge William Hart said: "There is no evidence upon which a reasonable jury properly directed could convict any of the defendants of misconduct in public office on the admissible evidence available."
At the time the leader of Caerphilly council said "serious questions" must be asked of the investigation.
Earlier this year the UK government said it would not compensate Caerphilly council for the more than £1m cost of the criminal investigation into the suspended officers.
In January 2014, Mr Barrett published two reports saying Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire councils acted unlawfully when they let their chief executives opt out of a pension scheme to avoid potential tax payments.
Carmarthenshire council said its process had been flawed rather than its pension policy being illegal, but ended the arrangement following the report.
The findings by the WAO triggered a failed vote of no confidence in the leadership of Carmarthenshire council.
Pembrokeshire council insisted its pension payment policy was lawful, but accepted the findings.
A Caerphilly council committee is investigating the suspended officers. The council said the investigation was being conducted "fairly and thoroughly" in line with the statutory requirements.
The council said it did not want to comment on any complaints.

Summarize the passage below. | Mr Mann said the abuse had got worse since a man was jailed for four weeks for sending offensive tweets to the MP for Liverpool Wavertree.
If the remarks had been published in a newspaper, he suggested the editor would have been hauled before MPs.
Commons Speaker John Bercow said such abuse was "beneath contempt".
Raising the matter in the House of Commons, Mr Mann said the abuse directed at Ms Berger had "deepened and worsened" since the conviction.
"If the medium used was a newspaper, I am quite certain that the House would demand that the editor would be dragged to the bar of the House and forced to explain himself or herself," he said.
He asked Mr Bercow what could be done about the social media site, which he said was "the medium by which this abuse against one of the members of this House is continuing on a most violent and daily basis".
In response, Mr Bercow said that where a crime had been committed, it was a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
But he said he believed the Commons would be united in condemning all anti-Semitic abuse as "despicable and beneath contempt".
He added: "Decent people throughout the House and across the country would empathise entirely with the honourable lady (Ms Berger) and share my own assessment of the people responsible for that gratuitous abuse."

Summarize the provided information. | UK Business Secretary Sajid Javid has conceded there should be a block on any move away from funding green projects.
Unusually, the government is setting up an independent company to control that veto power.
The move is designed to ensure that there is a clear break from any government controls.
This has been necessary to meet European public accounting rules on government ownership and influence over private enterprises.
It follows discussions with the Office for National Statistics, which polices the application of these accounting rules in Britain.
The Edinburgh-based Green Investment Bank (GIB) is being sold to raise capital for the Treasury, reduce government borrowing, and to let it expand by borrowing in private financial markets.
This was announced last June, and is included in the Business Bill currently before parliament. The House of Lords amended the Bill to include the proposal for a "golden share".
After assessing the sale process, parliament's environmental audit committee raised a series of objections and challenges to the way in which it is being privatised.
These included a call for the business plan to be made public, for alternative ownership models to be investigated, and for the government to retain a minority share.
The business secretary has given ground on only the idea of a "golden share", saying it was not his preference, but was a response to parliamentary recommendations.
The business department's responses stated: "The government intends to approve the creation of a special share in GIB, with the right to approve any change to the green purposes of GIB, as set out in the objects clause of GIB's Articles of Association.
"The special share will be held by a separate company, independent of both GIB and government, created specifically to hold this special share."
More detail on who is to control the share, and how, is to be set out later.
Mr Javid commented: "Moving the Green Investment Bank into private ownership makes sense. If you want it to have access to more capital, to make bigger investments and have a bigger impact in green sectors it is the best course of action.
"To ensure the bank's green credentials are maintained, it plans to put a special share structure in place that protects its green mission and keeps it focused on what it does best."
Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of the GIB, said: "I have always been confident that any new investor in GIB will be strongly committed to our green mission - our commitment to, and expertise in, green investment is the very reason they would be investing in us.
"That said, I understand the concern among some of our stakeholders over the legislative changes, so I am delighted we have been able to offer them the additional commitment that a special share will bring."
GIB was launched in November 2012 - the first 'for profit' government-owned bank aimed at investing in environmental infrastructure. It has had £3.8bn of Government capital injected, but was denied the ability to raise further capital in private markets.
It has a requirement to invest across five objectives; reducing greenhouse gas emissions, efficiency in use of natural resources, protection of the environment, protecting or improving biodiversity and promoting environmental sustainability.
Its investment decisions are also required to make a positive contribution to reductions in climate change.
So far, GIB has invested in 63 projects, committing £2.2bn into projects with a total value of £10bn.
These include waste plants, anaerobic digestion, wind farms, street lighting, heat pump installation, district heating projects, energy efficiency re-fits of hospitals and biomass boilers in whisky distilleries. | The environmental role of the Green Investment Bank, after it is privatised, is to be protected by a so-called "golden share". |

Scared, she ran for safety, but was hit by a falling wall and buried under debris.
She was rushed to a hospital in the provincial capital Peshawar with severe injuries. She was finding it difficult to breathe.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Few world leaders can resist the siren lure of all that royal bling: horse-drawn coaches, state banquets, processions down the Mall, the sheer scale of all that gold leaf and pomp and flummery that allows them a brief window into a royal fantasy that many countries envy but can rarely match.
This weapon is deployed sparingly, normally no more than twice a year. But it does get used.
If Donald Trump does touch down for a little red carpet treatment later this year, it will be the 110th time the Queen has welcomed another head of state to these shores in her reign.
And for now, despite the protests and growing online petition, Downing Street is continuing to stand firm, insisting that the invitation to the president stands.
So state visits are not merely ceremonial affairs, they are political and purposeful. They are used by the British government of the day to further what they see as Britain's national interests.
In 1973, the Queen welcomed President Mobutu of what was then called Zaire in Africa, now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He was a brutal, corrupt dictator but he was also seen as a vital anti-communist ally in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. So he got an invite to the Palace.
President Suharto of Indonesia, another repressive leader who happened to be anti-communist, was also granted a state visit in 1979 for the same reasons.
In 1971, Emperor Hirohito of Japan was welcomed by the Queen for a state visit as a deliberate attempt to help usher the country back into the family of nations after its post-war isolation.
Not surprisingly, the invitation of the man who had led Japan during World War Two was hugely controversial, and many former army veterans and prisoners of war turned their backs on the royal procession in silent protest.
Some wore red gloves to symbolise the blood they saw as being on his hands while others whistled ribald old army tunes. A tree the Emperor had planted was uprooted.
In 1978, Nicolae Ceausescu, the notorious Romanian communist leader, and his wife Elena were given a state visit in the vain hope that they might be encouraged to introduce some pro-Western reforms.
The Queen was so repulsed by them that, according to the royal author Robert Hardman, while out walking her dogs, she hid behind a bush in the Palace gardens to avoid bumping into the couple who were also out strolling. More than a decade later both Ceausescu and his wife were executed by a revolutionary firing squad.
And even the most uncontroversial of state visits, that of President Mandela in 1996, was not without political purpose.
There was a feeling in the Foreign Office that South Africa was beginning to slip away from the West towards the unaligned nations, and they wanted to hug Madiba close and remind his country of Britain's anti-apartheid credentials.
More recently, in 2014, the state visit of the Irish president to Britain was used as another step of reconciliation.
Martin McGuiness, the former Northern Ireland deputy first minister and former IRA leader, not only put on white tie and tails for a state banquet at Windsor Castle, but he also stood for a toast to the Queen.
And the state visit of President Xi in 2015 was a deliberate attempt by George Osborne, the then Chancellor, to curry favour with the Chinese and boost British trade links.
As for American presidents, only two have been granted full state visits during the current Queen's reign: President Bush in 2003 and President Obama in 2011.
What is unusual is the speed with which Mr Trump has been issued with an invitation for a state visit, just days into his presidency.
Both Messrs Bush and Obama had to wait until well into their terms of office before they got the call.
The haste reflects the importance the prime minister places on securing a good relationship with the new president and winning a post-Brexit trade deal, even if there is some political cost.
Mr Bush's visit was by no means uncontroversial, coming so soon after the beginning of the Iraq war.
There were demonstrations throughout the trip, including one involving tens of thousands in central London when an effigy of the president was toppled over in a parody of events in Baghdad.
So the Queen may be above politics but state visits are not.
They are used for diplomacy and are often controversial. And whatever protests may surround any Trump state visit, the Queen will have seen it all before. Rarely has she shown herself unable to cope with whomsoever the government brings round for tea.
As one royal insider told me dryly: "She does have some experience in these matters."
Or as former foreign secretary William Hague wrote more bluntly in the Telegraph this morning, "A Queen who has been asked over the decades to host tyrants such as Presidents Mobutu of Zaire and Ceausescu of Romania is going to take a brash billionaire from New York effortlessly in her stride." | A state visit is the ultimate weapon of British diplomacy, the bunker buster of soft power that can break down the hardest of tyrannical hearts. |

Please give a summary of the document below. | County moved off the bottom of the table and are now seven points from safety after a 1-0 win at Morecambe.
Bird, 29, scored the second half penalty which secured victory.
"We don't look at points, we just take it each game as it comes and if we keep winning every game in front of us then we'll be flying," Bird said.
"The last two performances have been fantastic and we can beat anyone in this league if we perform like that.
"When I came here that was my goal, to help Newport stay in the league."
Newport were bottom and 11 points adrift when they sacked boss Graham Westley but have won their two games under caretaker manager Mike Flynn.
"We had the belief anyway. The gaffer's given us the confidence to go out and play, express ourselves and enjoy it," Bird said.
"We played well against a very good Morecambe side, a big strong side, away from home."
Newport were awarded a penalty in the second half after Alex Whitmore fouled Alex Samuel.
Bird, who joined Newport from Eastleigh in January, described the penalty as "massive" and said: "I spoke to the gaffer last game and he said 'you're on penalties.'
"I thought about it on the way here, thinking that if we get a penalty I'm going straight down the middle and that's what I did."
The study suggests some people recruit extra nerve power to help maintain their ability to think.
Scientists hope the findings could shed light on why only some people with early signs of the condition go on to develop severe memory decline.
But experts warn much more research is needed to understand these processes.
The study, led by researchers at the University of California, involved 71 adults with no signs of mental decline.
Brain scans showed 16 of the older subjects had amyloid deposits - tangles of protein that are considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
All participants were asked to memorise a series of pictures in detail while scanners were used to track their brain activity.
They were then asked to recall the gist and later the detail of all the pictures they had seen.
Both groups performed equally well but those with tangles of amyloid in their brains showed more brain activity when remembering the images in detail.
Scientists say this suggests their brains have an ability to adapt to and compensate for any early damage caused by the protein.
Dr Laura Phipps, at the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "This small study suggests that our brains may have ways of resisting early damage from these Alzheimer's proteins but more research is needed to know how to interpret these results.
She added: "Longer term studies are needed to confirm whether the extra brain activity seen in this research is a sign of the brain compensating for early damage, and if so, how long the brain might be able to fight this damage."
Scientists say they need to understand why some people with an accumulation of this protein are better at using different parts of their brain than others.
Dr William Jagust, a researcher on the study, said: "I think it is very possible that people who spend a lifetime involved in cognitively stimulating activity have brains that are better able to adapt to potential damage."

Please provide a summary for the content below. | They reached the 8,850m (29,035ft) summit on Wednesday evening.
The Sherpas were hired by expeditions to carry equipment and secure ropes on Everest for about 300 foreign climbers trying to make the ascent.
May is the best month for climbing and more expeditions are expected to reach the top in the next few days.
Climbs from the Nepali side over the last two years have been hit by natural disasters.
An avalanche triggered by a powerful earthquake killed at least 18 climbers in 2015, and 16 Sherpas were also killed by an avalanche in 2014.
The two disasters meant that hardly any climbers were able to scale the peak. Last year's climbing season was cancelled, and nearly all climbers in 2014 similarly were forced to abandon their attempts.
However, one Chinese woman made an ascent in early May 2014, weeks after the deadly avalanche.
Nepal Mountaineering Association President Ang Tshering Sherpa told the BBC's Surendra Phuyal in Kathmandu that Wednesday's climb was no simple feat.
"Although they were planning to reach [the summit] much earlier in the day, difficult climbing conditions near the Hillary Step - a major climbing hurdle around 70 metres below the peak - delayed the Sherpas' plans," he said.
"Because of heavy snow and ice, it took more than four hours for them to cross the Hillary Step."
He said the Sherpas had succeeded in laying down climbing ropes along the trail to the summit for other climbers to use.
The Sherpas were now descending the South Col part of the mountain, he added.
This year, Nepali authorities are encouraging climbers to return to Everest and other peaks by honouring permits issued in the past two years.
Overall, more than 700 foreign climbers belonging to nearly 100 teams are vying to scale several Himalayan peaks from the Nepali side, the Department of Tourism says.
The authorities this year have for the first time allowed helicopters to transport ropes and other climbing gear up part of the mountain so that Sherpas can avoid carrying equipment through the dangerous Khumbu Icefall, which has become much more dangerous after last year's earthquake.
May is also one of the best months for climbing Everest from the Tibet side, with about 550 visits a day to the base camp there at the height of 2015, according to the Xinhua news agency. | Nine Sherpa guides have taken advantage of good weather to scale Mount Everest for the first time in two years from the Nepali side, officials say. |

1880: The Cleveland Cup, now the Saturday County Cup, is contested by teams on Teesside and the original trophy is still presented to the winners each year. The trophy is on display at the National Football Museum and will soon be reunited with its lid.
1909: The Sir Thomas Lipton trophy, won in Italy by West Auckland, was nicknamed the first 'World Cup'. The original trophy, which was presented to West Auckland after they retained it in 1911, was stolen in 1994. A replica now stands in the village's working men's club.
1938: The first FIFA World Cup was won by hosts Uruguay, with the winners presented with the Jules Rimet trophy. A new trophy was needed after Brazil was allowed to keep the original when it was crowned world champions for the third time in 1970.
The UK exports £47bn worth of goods and services a year to America, Britain's most important single trading partner.
It imports £41bn, creating a healthy trade surplus.
In the European Union, only Germany exports more.
The question ahead of President Barack Obama's arrival tonight, is whether the UK's membership of the European Union is a help or a hindrance to that trade relationship.
President Obama's administration believes it is a help.
I interviewed Jack Lew, the US Treasury Secretary, in Washington last week and he made it clear that America saw Britain's position within the EU as positive for both countries.
When it comes to the approach to regulation, open markets, finance and employment flexibility in the EU, Britain is seen by the US as a useful ally in a single market of more than 500 million people.
Americans have never been as comfortable speaking French.
The big bear in the free trade room is the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
This is an all-encompassing free trade deal being negotiated between the US and the EU which you can read about in detail here.
Many economists say the deal - if it is ever completed - could bring £10bn of value to the UK every year.
Might the UK lose out on that free trade dividend if Britain was to leave the EU?
The International Monetary Fund's chief economist and former adviser to President Obama, Maurice Obstfeld, certainly believes the UK's participation in any trans-Atlantic free trade agreement could be at risk if Britain were to leave the EU.
But there are a major couple of "buts" to that argument.
First mooted in the 1990s, the gargantuan TTIP process is still a long way from completion.
It is also mired in controversy on issues like "harmonisation" which some pressure groups see as a weakening of the present EU rules on matters such as the environment.
Second, if Britain votes to leave the EU, then it will happen not under President Obama, but under a different president.
And TTIP could well be slowly suffocated by either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, if they, as expected, are the two candidates.
Both have made it clear that they have little time for a trans-Atlantic free trade deal which they argue risks US jobs.
What their approach reveals is that the debate about free trade deals is often not about economics at all.
It is about politics. | The missing lid of one of the country's oldest football trophies has been found in an attic following an appeal.

Can you summarize the following information? | With input from those who are planning new cities to people who are retro-fitting old ones and even a child's view of the future, we asked one simple question: "What if you could design a city from scratch?"
We have had some intriguing answers, from those who think the smart cities of the future will rely on technology to those who want to put people centre stage.
And for the children, who will after all be the citizens of these future urban spaces, the vision is more fantastical.
But then, who wouldn't want a city with tree-high swimming pools full of sweets?
Guru Banavar is IBM's chief technology officer and was the chief architect behind Rio de Janeiro's control centre.
If I were to build a city from scratch, I would build in the digital infrastructure of sensors, networks and data analytics as meticulously as the physical infrastructure of buildings, roads, and utilities.
In a modern city, a robust digital infrastructure is essential to manage the physical resources and ensure that the city will be liveable and sustainable over the long term.
A well-designed digital infrastructure will support decision-making by public managers as well as private citizens.
By understanding the large volumes of data emitted by a city, it is possible to not only sense and respond to the current demands of citizens, but also be proactive in anticipating the needs and issues that citizens may face in the future.
A modern city would go far beyond simply sensing what's going on all around. Good decisions are based on a good understanding of information, which means that city data from many sources will need to be integrated and analysed rapidly. For example, city leaders will need high-quality insights to manage a carbon neutrality programme, a social and health services programme, or an innovative public transportation programme.
The digital infrastructure can provide the insight and foresight needed to support the right operational decisions, drive long-term plans, and help evolve the city towards its goals, whether they are social, economic, or environmental.
Steve Lewis knows better than many the problems of building a city from scratch because he is attempting to do just that in Portugal.
Reasons for urbanisation are wide-ranging but tend to be economic and social in nature.
Today the top 25 cities in the world account for 50% or more of our global wealth.
Traditionally, permanent and sustainable settlement has taken hundreds of years - in some cases, thousands. However, due to rapid population growth and development of certain regions of the world, town and cities are established rapidly - some in the space of a few years.
Through significant advances in computer simulation to provide tools that enable an entire community - including planners - to consider, evaluate and implement current requirements while modelling future scenarios.
Moreover, this simulation of thousands of complex variables may include, for example, balancing aesthetics with efficient use of capital - new methods to plan, design, manufacture, operate - and natural resources.
It may include reducing our impact on the environment while creating places that increase social cohesion, or accelerating human interaction in education, health and employment to improve the quality of life for an ever greater percentage of our world population.
However, people will remain the critical determining factor of how we interpret, implement and enhance our urban environments.
Ultimately, they will decide how we retain the fundamental organic development of our cities that lead to their future sustainability.
Towns and cities do not exist without their essential ingredient - their citizens.
Tom Steinberg has revolutionised engagement between citizens and government with services such as FixMyStreet - empowering people to report things such as potholes and graffiti. Having started in the UK, it is now a global phenomenon.
I'd like to see a city in which every occasion on which you received a public service was also an opportunity to get involved with the decision-making that determines the nature of that service.
Let me give you an example. I have an old mattress I need to get rid of, so I go to the council website to find out how to do this.
The council offers a disposal service, but it seems pretty expensive to me - £30.
In my vision of a modern city, the page that tells me the cost will link to information on who made the decision to impose a charge, what reason was given, and who controls this decision in the future.
The key word here is "opportunity".
I don't think that people want to be repeatedly told that they should be good citizens, attending planning meetings seven days a week.
But I do think that every moment of contact between me and the city government - every time I get on a publicly subsidised bus, or check the day of my bin collection - should be treated as an opportunity to engage me in the decisions that relate to that service, if I want.
The technology required for this radical educational idea is as old as technology gets on the web - it's the humble link.
The challenge is persuading politicians that it is healthy for more local people to understand how decisions are made.
Carlo Ratti heads up Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Senseable Cities Lab, which aims to study the ways cities are transforming themselves using sensors and electronic systems.
If we could design a city from scratch... we would not do it!
Since their emergence around 10,000 years ago, cities have always been the outcome of a collaborative, bottom-up process.
The "urbs"- as Romans would call the physical form of the city - was nothing other than the result of the "civitas", the community of the citizen.
Even when Romans needed to plan a new city, they did little more than laying out the main axes and parcelling the land, leaving it up to the individuals to take action.
The idea that an architect could design a city from scratch, in a top-down way, is relatively new.
It embodies both the 19th Century dream of the artist with unbound freedom and imagination and the egotistic vision of the 20th Century architect; something that resembles Howard Rourke - Ayn Rand's main character in The Fountainhead - who proclaimed that "the first right is the right of the ego".
It also responds to the rapid expansion urbanisation of the past 100 years that often leads governments to call for quick solutions for human settlement.
Architectural exemplars of the limitations of such an approach stand out in the dullness of Brasilia and the rigidity of Chandigarh.
In fact, as Christopher Alexander reminded us, a good city cannot be designed in a top-down fashion.
Spaces and fluxes overlap and intertwine in our interaction with the city, which can only be shaped through a distributed, bottom-up process.
A chaotic self-organising movement, which resembles what we have seen during the Arab Spring and its fostering of new forms of participation, is rising in unexpected ways and with unknown consequence.
Can these very forms, supported by social media and new technologies, now extend to urban design and planning? Could this be the beginning of a new urban spring?
OK, so they aren't experts but my children are the future citizens of such cities and have some interesting ideas about where they want to live.
Archie: If I could design a city the cars would run on water instead of fuel and would be driven automatically so that you could just sit back and enjoy the ride.
There would also be lots of huge buildings that lots and lots of people could work in.
In the city centre there would be an extraordinarily big shopping centre with everything you could possibly need.
As well as that, there would be little shops dotted around for certain things.
Everybody would exercise to keep themselves healthy.
Lily: If I could design a city from scratch I would have a swimming pool on trees filled with sweets and chocolate.
Also, I would have flying cars.
I would have schools that you play in all day and you would have offices that grown-ups can take their children into to watch TV all day.
At the centre of the town there would be shops and there would be a Santa's workshop for whenever you wanted to make something.
It would be Christmas every day.

What is the summary of the following document? | The players - S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila - are all from the Rajasthan Royals team.
The team said it had "a zero-tolerance approach to anything that is against the spirit of the game", and India's cricket board suspended the players.
There has been no word from the cricketers themselves, but Sreesanth's family said he was innocent.
Spot-fixing involves illegally rigging parts of a match, for example by timing the delivery of a deliberate wide or no-ball, to benefit bookmakers or those betting on matches.
Police said they had also arrested 11 bookmakers.
Rajasthan Royals are captained by legendary Indian batsman Rahul Dravid and owned by Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra.
Fast bowler Sreesanth has represented India in many international games. He has played 27 Tests and 53 one-day internationals.
"I have full faith in him, he would never do anything like this," his mother Savitri Devi told the BBC Hindi service.
The players were arrested in Mumbai late on Wednesday and they are expected to appear in court in Delhi later on Thursday.
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon, the city's police chief Neeraj Kumar gave out the details of what he called the "spot-fixing scam".
He said: "There was an agreement between bookies [bookmakers] and players that in a certain over they would give away minimum amount of runs. The bookies also gave them directions that they have to indicate that they are ready to give away those many runs.
"The indications that players had to give bookies included rotating their watches, putting towels in their pants, taking out locket from shirt, taking out shirt and vest that you're wearing, make signs with jersey."
Mr Kumar said the team matches on 5 May with Pune, 9 May with Punjab and 15 May with Mumbai were fixed.
Earlier in the day, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended the three players.
"The IPL governing council has met and decided that the cricketers found involved will be dealt with severely," the board said in a statement.
"As of now, the three players - Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and S Sreesanth - stand suspended pending enquiry. All information required to bring the persons involved to book will be collected and strictest action will be taken, if found guilty," it added.
BCCI president N Srinivasan told reporters that he was "shocked" by the developments.
"I don't know about others but I am shocked, the BCCI never expected it. It was a bolt from the blue. We will see whatever is there to be done is done," he said.
The team owners Rajasthan Royals also issued a statement saying they had "been informed that three of our players have been called in for investigation on spot-fixing in matches. We are completely taken by surprise.
"We do not have the full facts at this point and are unable to confirm anything. We are in touch with the BCCI on this matter. We will fully co-operate with the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation."

Summarize this article briefly. | On 1 June it was upgraded from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index and moved into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which was a "huge boost to its ego" as one analyst told me and a "reputational boost" for the whole country.
In the lead-up to the inclusion, investors poured into Pakistan. At one point in May, Pakistani shares hit a record high.
But on the day itself, shares fell by a record too. Over the course of last week, the Pakistani stock exchange dropped by almost 8%.
It is important to note that shares go up and shares go down. And often people sell because other people are selling. That's the nature of investing in the stock market.
And by any account, the Pakistani stock market is a volatile one as I previously said.
There were, however, some other important reasons why shares fell as much as they did.
Firstly, Pakistan was upgraded from the Frontier Markets Index to get into the Emerging Markets Index.
In order for this to happen, it had to exit the Frontier Markets Index, and all funds that own shares in that index also have to exit. They don't necessarily have to buy straight back into the Emerging Markets Index either.
Foreign funds were the main ones selling out of Pakistan according to analysts, and were one of the key reasons why shares fell by as much as they did.
Some $500m worth of shares were sold last Wednesday, the day before the MSCI inclusion, in comparison to $450m of foreign funds coming into the country to buy shares.
Profit-taking was also a factor. In the lead-up to the MSCI inclusion, foreign and domestic investors had been showing more enthusiasm for Pakistan shares. But then some sold at a premium, making a tidy profit.
And finally, uncertainty surrounds the new Pakistan budget and what that means for domestic investors. The prospect of higher tax rates on dividends doled out by corporates and mutual funds has perhaps dampened enthusiasm.
Still, Pakistan was Asia's best-performing market in 2016 and one of the best regional growth stories. The government will need to ensure that the country's moment in the sun doesn't fade even before it began. | Last week was meant to be Pakistan's moment in the sun. |
Summarize this article briefly. | Attorney General Michael Lauber said the incidents had been reported by Swiss banks.
He said his office was analysing a "huge amount" of seized Fifa data in its inquiry.
The Swiss investigation is running in parallel to one being carried out by the US.
Separately, Fifa's chief ethics investigator said on Wednesday that the organisation was also looking into alleged breaches by officials relating to bidding for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
"Should new evidence come to light, the investigatory chamber will widen the group of suspects," Carl Borbely said in a statement, adding that Fifa investigators were prepared to increase staff numbers "at any time if needed".
The 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively. But senior Fifa official Domenico Scala has said the awards could be cancelled if evidence emerges of bribery.
Both countries deny any wrongdoing.
Fifa is facing claims of widespread corruption after Swiss police raided a hotel in Zurich - where Fifa is based - and arrested seven of its top executives last month.
The seven were held at the request of the US justice department which has charged 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption.
The charges follow a three-year inquiry by the FBI.
Also in May, Swiss prosecutors opened separate criminal proceedings "against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering" in connection with the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
However, until now, much less has been revealed about the Swiss investigation than the inquiry being led by the FBI.
Mr Lauber told a news conference that the investigation was "huge and complex on many levels" and would take a long time.
"So far our investigative team obtained evidence concerning 104 banking relations (relationships between banks and clients). And, be aware that every banking relation represents several bank accounts," Mr Lauber said.
"We note positively that banks in Switzerland did fulfil their duties to file suspicious activity reports. Partly in addition to the 104 banking relations already known to the authorities, banks announced 53 suspicious banking relations via the anti-money-laundering framework of Switzerland."
Mr Lauber said he did not rule out interviews with Fifa president Sepp Blatter as part of his investigation.
Mr Blatter has denied any wrongdoing and announced earlier this month that he will resign.
Mr Lauber said his investigation was separate from that being carried out by the FBI and that documents and data would not be shared automatically with the US.
He added: "The world of football needs to be patient. By its nature, this investigation will take more than the legendary 90 minutes." | Swiss prosecutors are investigating 53 cases of possible money laundering in their inquiry into bidding for the 2018 and 2022 Fifa World Cups. |
Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The train drivers' union Aslef had been due to strike for three days next week but has called off the walkouts.
Southern said rosters had already been issued and it could not run a full timetable until 24 January.
Talks between Aslef and Southern earlier were described as constructive and will continue on Thursday.
Aslef's strike days had been planned for 24, 25 and 27 January but the union suspended the action if the company agreed to "engage in intensive talks".
Union officials are meeting Southern bosses under the joint chairmanship of TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady and Andy Meadows, HR director of rail firm Abellio.
A spokeswoman for Aslef said next week's strikes could not now be reinstated if talks failed.
She said: "Once strikes have been called off, we can't put them back. We would have to look at other dates if the talks fail."
She also said the union was now awaiting the outcome of the latest discussions before commenting further.
Lewes MP Maria Caulfield said it had emerged that substantial progress had already been made in the talks and normal service will resume for the indefinite future.
But she said she would still lead an adjournment debate on Friday because this only solved Southern's immediate problems.
She added: "The normal Southern rail service is still inadequate."
Southern rail strike: What's it about?
How bad have Southern rail services got?
The RMT also requested to join the talks, but for now its separate action for Monday is still on - the RMT has not yet commented on Southern's latest announcement.
Analysis: Richard Westcott, BBC transport correspondent
Everyone's making positive noises but don't kid yourself that this dispute is over.
It all comes down to the talks, and whether Southern is able to freshen up its offer and Aslef is prepared to cede some ground.
Relations between Southern and the unions had hit a new low....more EastEnders than Neighbours in recent months.
Hopefully, bringing in new blood to chair proceedings will take some of the heat out.
Neither side wants to lose such a high profile fight.
Meanwhile the RMT will carry on striking as normal. Their action doesn't have the same impact on services as Aslef's because it involves the conductors rather than the drivers, but it still causes problems.
Southern's parent company Govia Thameslink also needs to improve the way it works through engineering problems with Network Rail, and to increase the number of drivers it employs, to truly bring the service back to "normal".
Passenger services director Angie Doll said there would still be disruption next Monday.
But she said: "Due to the changes we've now fully rolled out, we're now able to run more services on more routes serving more passengers and ultimately we'll have fewer cancellations and delays."
She said an extra 200 trains would run next Monday - the same day as a conductors' strike by the RMT union.
"The RMT should now recognise that their industrial action is wholly futile.
"They should stop the strikes, get back round the table with us and move forward together with us, delivering a better railway for our passengers."
Southern said it would run more than 70% of its trains next Monday - 10% more of its normal timetable than it operated on previous conductor strike days.
The company said this followed the completion of its programme to put drivers in sole control of the operation of the train, including closing the doors on nearly 80% of routes, and the transfer of many conductors to a new on-board supervisor role focused exclusively on customer service.
The dispute with the two unions has centred on the changes to guards' roles on trains. Both unions had raised concerns over safety and potential job cuts. | Southern rail is to restore a "full train service" from next Tuesday after a union suspended industrial action, the rail firm has said. |

Please give a summary of the document below. | The Welsh government is investing in improved technology which would make it quicker and cheaper to test more patients who may have the BRCA genes.
This was the test which Angelina Jolie took before having a double mastectomy.
Genetics consultant Rachel Butler said there had been a surge in women wanting the test since the actress went public.
Around 120 people deemed to be at high risk of having breast or ovarian cancer are currently tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes each year in Wales on the NHS.
About 20% of them will have a mutation linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, the Welsh government said.
They can then decide which options are best for them to manage their risk of developing cancer.
Dr Butler, consultant clinical scientist at the All Wales Genetic Laboratory, based at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, said the new technology - which the Welsh government is helping to fund - would help boost the number of patients tested.
Although it would be rolled out gradually across Wales over the next year or two, she estimated that some 300 to 400 people could eventually be offered the test.
"It's a really positive step as this test is important for two main reasons," she said.
"Firstly, I think it really manages anxiety. If you have someone in your family who's had cancer you do worry about having it and if you have a negative test it allays that anxiety and that's a really big thing.
"Secondly, there are now drugs that are particularly effective for people who have breast cancer and have the BRCA1 or 2 mutation.
"This type of personalised medicine, as we call it, does make a difference."
Dr Butler, who runs the genetic testing laboratory, said demand was "huge" for the test and that the laboratory had seen a "surge" in women coming to them wanting it following the publicity surrounding Angelina Jolie's surgery.
The 37-year-old film star revealed in May that she was told by doctors that she had an 87% risk of developing breast cancer without the radical treatment because of genes she inherited from her mother.
"The Angelina Jolie effect is definitely a good thing as people are now talking about it," said Dr Butler.
"But there are patients who come in to see us and for the counselling we offer and even if we work out that they do not meet the current strict criteria, they still want the test and will pay for it privately instead."
In June, new National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) guidelines were published which loosened the eligibility criteria for genetic testing of the BRCA cancer gene in England and Wales.
It means somebody who has a family member diagnosed before the age of 50 could be eligible for the test. Previously, they had to have two relatives diagnosed before the age of 50.
The Welsh government said it was working to make the tests available for more patients on the NHS.
"Advances in technology (such as next generation sequencing) and new treatment options mean that potentially there is benefit in wider testing for some breast cancer patients," a spokesperson said.
"Testing is becoming cheaper and quicker, and there could be advantages in lowering the threshold for testing.
"This will result in a reduction in the percentage of BRCA-positive women identified, but this would be outweighed by the benefits to those additional women identified who could be eligible to access personalised treatment options.
"This type of stratified medicine approach is being discussed in Wales and in England."
It happened on the Knockmore Road at about 14:25 GMT on Wednesday.
The road has been closed at its junction with the Ballinderry Road and police have put diversions in place.
Meanwhile, in Bangor, County Down, a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle on the town's Main Street. She is said to be in a stable condition in hospital. | The number of people being offered a breast cancer genetic test on the Welsh NHS could treble within the next few years, a leading expert says.

A cyclist in his 40s has died after his bike was in collision with a lorry in Lisburn, County Antrim. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | He was walking on Brooms Road near to its junction with Millburn Avenue at about 01:00 when he was approached by another man he did not know.
The attacker forced his victim to a nearby grassy area and subjected him to a serious sexual assault.
The suspect then walked off towards the nearby Morrisons supermarket. The area was cordoned off for several hours.
Police described the attacker as about 6ft 1in tall, of stocky build and possibly with a foreign accent.
He was wearing dark clothing and a hooded top.
Det Insp Scott Young said: "A young man has been subjected to a terrifying sexual attack and extensive enquiries are under way to find whoever is responsible for this utterly despicable crime.
"I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area near to where Brooms Road meets Millburn Avenue between 0000 hours and 0200 hours on Sunday morning.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Six of them are in what's called the temperate zone, which is an area where the temperature is thought to be between 0 and 100 degree Celsius.
The researchers say that all seven could potentially support liquid water on the surface, depending on the other properties of those planets.
But only three are within the conventional "habitable" zone where life is considered a possibility.
It's the largest number of Earth-sized planets ever found orbiting the same star
Three of the exoplanets were discovered moving around a star. After making this discovery, astronomers monitored the exoplanets from earth and space and discovered four more.
They say they need to look at them in detail to find out more, especially the outermost seventh planet which is located outside of the zone the six inner planets are in.
The findings have been published in the Nature journal.
Exoplanets are planets that obit a different star than our Sun - in a different solar system to the one we are in.
Even though scientists thought for a long time that they must exist, it was only in 1992 that the first exoplanet was discovered.
Further work to look for other ones has turned up some exciting results more recently too.
Earlier in 2015, scientists discovered the exoplanet Kepler-452b, which was described as 'Earth's cousin' because of its close similarities to our planet.
Space experts say exoplanets are really important because they raise the possibility that other life could exist in other solar solar systems. | Astronomers have discovered seven Earth-sized exoplanets in another solar system. |

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | More than 1,500 members of the Unite union employed by Swissport had been due to walk out for 48 hours in a row over pay and conditions.
According to Unite, members voted by 62.5% to reject a 4.65% pay rise from 2015 to 2017, which the union said "barely" kept up with inflation.
It said "detrimental" changes to terms and conditions were linked to the deal.
Conditions included freezing overtime payments for the foreseeable future and restructuring pay.
The strike was called off following talks at the conciliation service Acas.
Swissport confirmed it had made a revised offer, which Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said the union would recommend to its members.
"No worker likes taking strike action, but often the threat of it is the only way to make headway in very frustrating circumstances," he said.
"All along we have said that these workers have a powerful case. They are employed on poverty pay rates - this union says that this is not good enough and so we are determined to win them a better deal."
Separately, talks aimed at averting a planned strike by British Airways cabin crew based at Heathrow airport still plan to strike on Christmas Day and Boxing Day will continue on Wednesday.
The action, also backed by Unite, could involve up to 4,500 staff on "mixed fleet" contracts who joined the airline since 2010.
Referring to that dispute, Mr McCluskey described negotiations with British Airways about pay and conditions as difficult and said progress had been "painfully slow".
However, with several days to go before the strike is due to start, he said: "I would call upon British Airways senior management now to get involved."
Asked if unions had been co-ordinating strikes for this Christmas, Mr McCluskey said the allegation did not stand scrutiny.
Reports last week said that cyber-attacks had repeatedly overwhelmed this link making net access intermittent.
The authority said there was "no data to substantiate" the claim.
But it said one telecommunications company serving half the nation's mobile users did suffer attacks that repeatedly limited access.
Security experts who monitor networks of hijacked devices used to carry out attacks, called botnets, noticed last week that Liberian net addresses were among targets being deluged with data.
Media reports quoted network security firms outside the country and telecoms staff in Liberia who said internet access in the country was affected.
The attacks were mounted using the massive Mirai botnet that in late October was used to cause the web-wide disruption that left Reddit, Spotify, Twitter and other popular sites hard to reach.
Jarsea Burphy, a spokewoman for the Liberia Telecommunication Authority, said monitoring systems on the nation's internet exchange point, where domestic traffic joins the global network, showed no evidence that the link had been overwhelmed.
The monitoring systems showed "no downtime in the last three weeks" she told the BBC.
Ms Burphy said a single local operator, believed to be the Lonestar Cell mobile network, had been subject to intermittent web attacks that had affected its ability to provide net access.
Lonestar, which has a 50% market share, told news site All Africa that it had been hit by so-called Distributed Denial of Service attacks that sought to overwhelm its network.
"We have continued to react and restore service to each incident as it happens," it said.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Stephen Callaghan has created a crowdfunding page calling on MPs to pledge money for the trip.
He said it would cost far less than a similar trip taken by Labor MP Tony Burke's family at taxpayers' expense.
Mr Callaghan is one of many Australians who have taken to social media to mock MPs' travel expenses.
Several senior politicians have been criticised for using public funds for 'luxury' travel such as helicopter rides or family holidays.
Former lower house speaker Bronwyn Bishop last week resigned because of public anger about some of her expenses.
Under the banner of parliamentary entitlements, Mr Burke spent A$12,000 ($8855, £5,600) on a trip to the tourist destination in the Northern Territory where he did work related to his then Environment portfolio.
He also claimed four "family traveller" business class airfares for the same trip.
Mr Callaghan, who lives on the New South Wales Central Coast looking after his three children, told the BBC he had to sell a car to fund his family's holiday.
He said he had no idea parliamentarians were able to claim family travel, sometimes business class, as part of their parliamentary allowances.
"My wife works away from home 40 weeks a year and we don't get that entitlement," he said.
"If Australia has a soul it's Uluru. I want my kids to see it in that age of wonderment."
His page has so far attracted A$510 but no MPs have donated money.
Rules governing Australia's parliamentary expenses are vague but the public has not reacted well to a series of media stories about how some MPs spend the money.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who himself once repaid A$1000 he had claimed to attend a colleague's wedding, has committed to a "root and branch" review of entitlements.
James Best, 37, of Croydon, was awaiting sentence in September 2011 when he suffered a heart attack.
His family claim there were delays in requesting treatment and dispatching an ambulance, breaching his right to life.
Mr Best's foster mother, Dolly Daniel, said she just wanted an apology for the "shortcomings".
Mrs Daniel and Mr Best's foster brother, Owen Daniel, claim St George's Healthcare NHS Trust and London Ambulance Service breached their duties under articles two and three of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The acts protect the right to life and state nobody should be subject to "inhuman or degrading treatment".
Acting on behalf of the family, Kirsten Sjovoll told Mrs Justice Lang there was an unreasonable delay by the nurse on call requesting an ambulance when she arrived at Mr Best's cell.
It should have been summoned within one to two minutes, but it was claimed by the defence that five or so minutes was reasonable for her to carry out an assessment.
It was also alleged there was a failure - both in the system and individually - to dispatch an ambulance once the 999 call was received.
Ms Sjovoll said: "Seconds count and minutes matter. We are talking about medically-trained professionals who knew or ought to have known that this was a life-threatening situation and should have acted quicker."
It would have been a "very distressing" way to die, she said.
Mrs Daniel, who worked as a complaints manager for the NHS, said: "We think that James deserved the respect and dignity after his death that he certainly was not accorded in the manner of his dying.
"I did a lot of work with bereaved families and I tried to treat them a lot better than we've been treated."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Wolves kicked a drop-ball from close to their own box out for a throw-in deep inside the visitors' half after an injury to City midfielder Luke Freeman.
The throw-in led to a free-kick for the hosts, which Matt Doherty headed in.
"I'm an angry man at the moment if I'm honest, for a number of reasons," Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol.
"A big club like this, you don't expect a historic club to have to resort to unsporting behaviour.
"The lad said he was going to kick it back to the goalkeeper and he smashes it out right in our corner and puts us under pressure."
Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett responded: "He (Johnson) was unhappy on the sidelines definitely. I wasn't quite sure what the expectation was.
"The ball went out for a throw-in quite deep. It is splitting hairs really."
The defeat left Bristol City 20th in the Championship table, two points above the relegation zone, while Wolves moved up to 12th.
"I thought we were the side that was looking like we was going to go on and win it," Johnson added.
"We were in the ascendancy, and that incident changed the ascendancy from us having it to them having it through, in my opinion, unsporting behaviour."
The child, known as Baby R, died from head injuries inflicted by his father in January 2015. He was convicted of murder in December.
After his death, it transpired that his mother was a convicted murderer.
She had served nine years of a 12-year jail sentence in her country but fled to the UK while on parole.
It was revealed she was subject of an European Arrest Warrant.
The baby, who cannot be named, died in Haringey - the same north London borough at the centre of the Baby P scandal where a mother and her boyfriend were jailed for causing or allowing his death.
The serious case review criticised:
A spokesperson for Haringey Council said the death of Child R was "tragic" and while the review concluded it could not have been anticipated, "we fully accept that the council, police, courts, probation and health missed opportunities to assess the family and share information".
It said it had improved social work practices and working with other organisations since the review but "we should never forget responsibility for the death of Child R rests with the father."
Lib Dem councillor Liz Morris said she was very concerned another baby had died in Haringey.
"It is unacceptable that the police and Home Office did not contact Haringey's social services to warn them about the mother's conviction and European Arrest Warrant," she said.
"I am also concerned to see that Haringey Children's Services failed to put vital information on their database for monitoring vulnerable children."
The Met said recommendations, for the force to ensure officers and police were properly trained in procedures for such a case, were being addressed.
It also said it was making officers in its Extradition Unit aware of the need to create reports and share that information when a child comes to police notice. | Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson has criticised Wolves for "unsporting behaviour" before their winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory at Molineux.

Can you summarize the following information? | Vijender Singh, an Olympic medallist, beat Zulpikar Maimaitiali on Saturday, winning the WBO Oriental Super Middleweight belt from him.
But he dedicated his win to the "India-China friendship", and said he wanted to give the belt back.
India and China have been feuding over a disputed border area since June.
The row erupted when India opposed China's attempt to extend a border road through a plateau known as Doklam in India and Donglang in China.
Mr Singh, 31, has been widely praised in India for his win in the much-anticipated fight in Mumbai.
But some appear not to share his message of reconciliation.
"Chinese met a grand defeat in Mumbai and same will happen in Doklam," a yoga guru and businessman called Baba Ramdev tweeted.
Why is the India-China border stand-off escalating?
It is unclear if the Chinese competitor has responded to the offer, or if competition officials would allow the belt to be returned.
The disputed plateau lies at a junction between China, the north-eastern Indian state of Sikkim and Bhutan.
It is currently disputed between China and Bhutan. India supports Bhutan's claim over it.
India is concerned that if the road is completed, it will give China greater access to India's strategically vulnerable "chicken's neck", a 20km (12-mile) wide corridor that links the seven north-eastern states to the Indian mainland.
On Thursday China's defence ministry warned India that it would not back down.
Mr Letherby was taken to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant, where he later died, after an incident in De Winton Street, Tonypandy late on Friday.
Four people who were arrested in connection with his death remain in custody.
South Wales Police has urged anyone with information to call 101.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said some of these were already under investigation for tax evasion.
It said it has obtained large quantities of documents which reveal those, along with professional advisers, who may be involved.
Evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is not.
The hunt was sparked by a joint investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme, the Guardian newspaper and the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
HMRC is working on the material, which it describes as 400 gigabytes of data, with the tax authorities in the United States and Australia.
So far HMRC has pinpointed more than 100 people from the information, who it says benefited from using offshore havens such as Singapore, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and the Cook Islands to hide their assets.
More than 200 UK accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers will also be scrutinised.
HMRC refused to disclose where the documents came from, but an official suggested they constituted the largest haul of offshore tax evasion data obtained so far.
Tax evaders risk being charged fines equivalent to 200% of the amount of tax they should have paid.
The Chancellor, George Osborne, said: "The message is simple: if you evade tax, we're coming after you.
"This data is another weapon in HMRC's arsenal."
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of taxation at the ACCA accountancy body, said that it was still a small number of people who were evading tax in these markets.
"The majority of accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers, as well as their clients, are not breaking any laws in these locations. There is a large gulf between what amounts to tax avoidance, which is within the law, and tax evasion, which is illegal," he said.
"While this joint initiative with the US and Australian authorities is a positive step from HMRC, the Cayman Islands, Cook Islands and other offshore jurisdictions targeted are not going to suddenly lose their tax friendly status by this move. This is a crackdown on evasion and these locations will remain hot spots for individuals seeking to reduce their tax bill within the perimeters of the law."
Last week, Bermuda and other British overseas territories with financial centres signed agreements on sharing tax information.
The move follows similar recent deals with Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
The action is aimed at tracking down banking clients who escape paying taxes by hiding their money overseas.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | One of photographer John Sanderson's earliest memories was family road trips to Pennsylvania from his home in Manhattan, New York.
While on one of these trips, 13-year-old Sanderson discovered the delight of taking pictures when shooting the Strasburg Rail Road and its historic steam engine.
Returning to the subject of railways in adulthood, he rebelled against his younger self and this time chose to photograph American railroads devoid of trains.
This, he believed, allowed the pictures to focus on the surrounding context of architecture and landscape rather than simply the temporary presence of a train.
He said, "The proximity of the railbed to the environment, I later discovered, was a perfect way to explore America's national character."
The photographs capture everything from urban to rural environments, from the highest mountain ranges to the smallest towns.
Landscapes from the eastern to western states vary from high rise buildings, to grain silos and open fields.
At times, Sanderson deliberately abandoned the typical vanishing point perspective of the tracks, instead producing horizontal views of the buildings that run alongside the tracks.
"As the project grew," he said, "shooting from this angle started to make so much sense because many of these places were built in lateral alignment with the railroad."
He appreciated the quietness of the tracks, as opposed to the more frequently documented roads of America.
That is, he said, "until a 100 car-long freight train rumbles into the scene".
Alan Deas was struck by a lorry on Lanark Road, at the junction with Baberton Crescent, at about 14:45 on 24 April.
He was taken to the Western General Hospital where he died of his injuries.
Sgt Fraser Wood, of Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit in Edinburgh, said: "Our thoughts are with Alan's family at this time."
The 33-year-old joined the Lurgan Blues at the start of the 2014/15 season and scored 40 goals in 91 appearances.
"Coleraine are getting a wonderful player in Eoin and Glenavon have done a good bit of business as well," said Glenavon player-manager Gary Hamilton.
"I think Eoin will be happy enough that he's got his move to Coleraine where he started out."
Bradley was a key player for Glenavon and helped them to an Irish Cup success last season.
Hamilton explained that Coleraine made an offer for Bradley and it was accepted after discussions with the player and club chairman.
"First and foremost I'd like to thank Eoin for everything he's done for us over the last couple of years because he did score a lot of important goals for us and led the line really well," Hamilton told the club website.
"I'm sad to see him go but we're happy with the piece of business that we've done - for everybody I think it's a good move."

The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union said workers stood to lose thousands of pounds in shift allowances.
But 2 Sisters Food Group said it was "misleading" to link a new pay deal with the new minimum wage.
The RF Brookes workers, based in Rogerstone, Newport, make ready meals for M&S stores. They held their protest outside the Cardiff store on Saturday.
Gary Johnston, organising regional secretary of the BFAWU, said staff "are not prepared to stand back and see their standard of living being reduced by the greed for profits".
Cardiff Trades Union Council also supported the protest.
"We have found that this is becoming an increasing problem following the introduction of the National Living Wage," said Katrine Williams president of Cardiff Trades Union Council.
"Because successive governments have weakened workers' employment rights employers have been able to mitigate the introduction of the National Living Wage by cutting pay in other areas like shift allowances and unsocial hour payments."
A spokesman for the 2 Sisters Food Group said: "To connect this to the living wage would be totally inaccurate and misleading.
